OMG YOU'RE MY FAVORITE <3

I read like almost every footygaf post and feel like all you cunts are my lifelong bros, but I barely post because I almost never have anything interesting to add to the conversation, so it surprises me every time that even with so few posts some people actually remember/recognize me here.


haha, I chose Letters randomly when signing up for gaf years ago, it meant nothing for me.

I've gone by "feel eep" (as in "Filipe", my real name) on steam and some other online places for years so I thought I'd change my random gaf name to kinda match my overall online identity.
I remember once I talked a massive amount of shit about Portugal and forced you to come out from your hiding. I feel proud of myself in retrospect.
 
Holy shit, each episode of Twin Peaks is weirder than the last. This is amazing.
Did Jozie just . . . turn into a fucking wooden drawer? WTF was that? LOL.

Saw Gravity. Visually fantastic, the rest ... ehhh. It was stupid-er than I thought it would be.

Would have been awesome if it had ended right after
the Clooney ghost.
Everything after that was a waste of time.

I quietly kept hoping Portugal would take a dump on Russia after all your shit talking before the qualifier matches so I could then quote your posts and laugh in your face but we didn't even come close. Goddamit!

The third installment in the Zero Escape series is having trouble getting the green light because it doesn't do as well domestically as it does on an international scale. :(

Edit: I thought Dark Souls 2 was this month! What's next. :(

Speaking of Gravity ...
I'm no scientist, but exactly what 'force' was pulling Clooney away from Sandra when they were entangled in that parachute? He was hanging on to that line for a good 10-15 seconds.

God

or more accurately Clooney should have remained floating in the same spot. There did not seem to be any force being exerted on him. Should have just pulled himself toward Sandra Bullock. But Movies.

I can't believe I actually read through that video game discussion a few pages back. Needless to say, some of you guys' opinions are as poor as your choice of football clubs. :p

Comparing the new DMC to Bayonetta is misguided. They aren't even in the same league. I used to love coming up with combos in the earlier DMC games but this one was a sad, sad attempt. Being able to break the games technical combos in the first hour had me weeping, let alone it's other faults.

I await with bated breath for Bayonetta 2.

The demo for DMC was so terrible I didn't even download the game when it was free on PS+.

Fuck you.

No, fuck you!

NO! FUCK YOU!

I mean, come on....who can sit through that shit? I think I have more of an issue with the writing and characters than I do the gameplay in these Japanese mashers. That's why something like Bayonetta wouldn't appeal to me either. Just complete drivel.

Bayonetta for me started after I completed the story. That's why the gameplay is of utmost importance. The writing of Bayonetta is nowhere near as bad as DMC though. I actually cringed throughout the beginning of that game and only have it because of PS+ (cannot see myself playing anymore than I have for the foreseeable future).

Japanese mashers

Please. These games are art when you play them methodically rather than mashing buttons. I wouldn't touch these games if I was a button masher.

There's a decent chance we can meet at the World Cup since our groups play each other in the knockout round. That's where we'll settle the fight.

I'm still on the Mesut Özil thing, such a great player.

87% pass accuracy, averaging over 60 passes a game, most key passes but gets constantly let down by the fact he has to supply for Giroud/Rosciky/Wilshere who cant fucking finish so his stats suffer. Wenger better buy a decent fucking striker who can actually run if he wants the best out of our midfielders.

Fuck I'm missing Ramsey. That Ramsey and Özil partnership is going to be something special for Arsenal.

The haters will see.

Ozil is a polarizing enigma who flourishes in the right conditions. I, on a personal level, hope Ozil improves his game by doing better in front of goal. The times he and Iniesta have fluffed delicate chances over the years is criminal when you look at their other attributes.

Giroud is so slow and can't finish. He's the complete package.

I have no idea why Wenger did nothing during the transfer window.

I am indeed thrilled to see what Thiago, Lahm, Martinez, Schweini and Kroos have in their sleeve to knock out Özil. Gustavo and Schweini basically killed him and Khedira/Alonso in 2 matches 2012 in the semis and he was by far our weakest defensive midfielder.

NG > Bayonetta > DmC > Rising > DMC > GoW

I have spoken
THis is the absolute truth. I would pack DmC behind GoW though.

Not a lot of options out there.

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much
arsenal could be on downward spiral as we speak, they should have finished off united, if they drop to 4th it will be very dangerous spurs and everton arent far off

If Spurs are going to finish 4th I still think it will be at Liverpool's expense. They look unconvincing away from home and that's where points get dropped during the run-in.

Giroud is excellent is there is a Suarez/Cavani/Aguero/RVP next to him who can score. He's great layoffs, very good in the air, passing accuracy is crap but can assist goals okay and he's very good a defending corners.

He's a defensive striker, if there is such a thing, meaning he will fall back to cover holes, he will defend, he will track back, he'll hang up and lay off but he's not a clinical ball running striker.

Ozil's issue at Arsenal was summed up when he ran at he United players, beat 3 players to get into the box, dragged them out and laid it off for Rosciky and rather than shoot like a Benzema/Di Maria/Ronaldo/Higuain would have Rosciky made another pass and the move broke down. If you watch Ozil properly you will see that he is playing quite well but in order to assist you need runners, you need targets, where are the runners at Arsenal? Where are the targets? Ozil is dragging players and creating space but it serves no purpose because we don't run into the space he creates.

There's a reason why our midfielders do our scoring. Cazorla/Wilshere/Ramsey/Chamberlain score because Giroud holds up allowing our midfielders to bomb through the lines. Very hard for Ozil to shine under these circumstances but his performances are not bad nor his is effort or attitude.

So talk of dropping him? Absolute insanity.

The only way we miss out on top 4 mate is if teams in the bottom, 10 start taking points off us. I've seen no sign this is about to happen.

I seriously think that against Arsenal Lahm will be back on the right back and Martinez is on the six. He eats Özil for breakfast.

that would be a huge surprise. lets see!

Please start scoring again Suarez!



Love Martinez. I wonder if he's playing early morning Basketball somewhere, I remember he mentioned loving the sport.

he does! i think boateng mentioned in an interview that he is one of the biggest nba fans in the squad too.

Lahm will play on the 6. The funny thing is, that if you watch the statistics, the only games were we lost or played draw were when Schweinsteiger was on the six or Lahm was very defensive. The higher Lahm plays, the harder it gets to score against Bayern.
