Always thought the work Conte did with Torino FC was quite amazing.

Are you fucking serious?

I'm sorry we have such a poor recent history of winning 2 league titles, 1 cup, reaching a CL final and can't keep up with the currently best team of the world with our whole defense injured while staying financially reasonable and reaching the round of 16 in the CL and the quarter final in the DFB cup. And all that coming from nearly being bankrupt.

Not everyone can have the rich and fantastic recent history of Arsenal Football Club, struggling to qualify for the CL, losing the final of a shit cup against a club getting relegated and just this season, being first in a league in which all rivals are having a shit season, at least to some extent.

Labyad has been loaned to Vitesse and Rinaudo to Catania. Good to see that we are doing our best to clean the house.
Rinaudo is a great player but it´s understandable that he wants to leave. Unless William Carvalho is seriously injured, he wouldn´t get any play time. Italy seems like the perfect choice for his type of football.
Curious to see how Labyad does in Vitesse, if he doesn´t wake up soon and starts to put some effort, he won´t get anywhere.

Fuck labyad

You just lost your two best players to the same team, doesn't really matter that you had no control. The fact that they both went there shows just how much a stranglehold Bayern have on your league. It's like all paths lead to Bayern. Every good player playing in the Bundesliga, that's where they eventually want to end up. I seriously don't think Lewandowski will be the last player making that switch. When 2015 comes around, I wonder what decision Reus will make. I'm not going to make excuses for Arsenal's lack of trophies, it's a phase in our history, a disappointing one, but there's no club in any decent European League that hasn't gone through a period of trophylessness at some point in their history.

Every good player in Europe will end up in Bayern if we want to, to be fair. Thiago is a good example
 
Anyone else have an effective filter for youtube uploaders, where they immediately lose interest in anyone with a negative adjective in their username?

Angry Joe? Fuck off.
Annoyed Gamer? Do one
Angry Video Game Nerd? 2 strikes in one name, fuck off you gurning prick

And now what? You guys don't seem to realize the irony.

You're praising Arsenal and shit on BVB. You know, Arsenal. That club which sold Fabregas, van Persie, etc. If any of you Arsenal guys shitting on us would think straight, you'd see that you can lose players and still keep up.
 
We signed 20-year-old Tim Väyrynen for our second team, top scorer in the Finnish league. Certainly first team material considering the name.

Pukki pls

Well it's the point that you keep losing your players to your biggest,
lets face it only
rival for the title. Arsenal have lost players I'll give you that, and I'm not really praising us per se. I just don't see how BVB progresses to the top of the Bundesliga food chain by losing players to Bayern. And those release clauses just make it so easy.

Not really, but yeah those 3 aren't great.Angry Joe was great for being one of the very few people with enough balls to question someone like Major Nelson. He called him out on his bullshit and MN went on to tell him how he didn't know anything about building consoles and therefor shouldn't be saying it was possible for them to reserve on their DRM policies.

They then did a few days later.

Annoyed Gamer is best avoided, terrible person and media he produces.

AVGN is just some mildly entertaining character where all the angry parts are done in the name of comedy, it's childish but had some seriously funny moments.

I just read this article. I don't like this turn in ADL's tone - he seems to be growing particularly weary and pensive. I fear for the future of Napoli if ADL ever decides to sell. He revived this club practically from the dead and has worked to nearly return its status to the days of Maradona.

Maybe a couple successful transfers will perk him back up. It seems Gonalons still isn't entirely unavailable. And what ever happened to all the talk of N'Koulou?

Do you really have to ask? His name is N'Koulou. It literally translates to 'in the ass' in certain italian dialects. And people thought Kaka was bad ...

I wonder if anyone ever investigated how Walcott improved his setpiece and crossing ability. I still find it amazing, he went from such a shit crosser to one of our best dead ball specialists and majority of his assists come from whipped in crosses.

Well, the enlighten us please.

You know, that's a process, a very long one. You just don't go from fighting releagation to biggest club in the country in 5 years, at least without a shitload of money from some investor. Bayern built their position over decades. It's hard to impossible to reach them and certainly not when they are having one of the best phases of their club's history. I just don't know if you guys are naive and live in your own world or just have no idea what you're talking about.
