I'll agree that his reactions to high balls in the derby were shaky at best, and that Fabianski is a good keeper, and more than capable against a team like Swansea. Which game do you mean the Arsenal one?
I think Szcz should play, and Arteta shouldn't, his mistakes have been far more egregious, especially for a so called veteran.
Your avatar makes me blush.
I still can't believe the Santi/Moist avatar isn't a Lambda throwback.
Sounds about right.

Wanted to show my ugly mug after the clasico
- Probably the worst clasico I've seen since the days of Van Gaal and Capello, a total lack of strategy and tactics. Terrible defense by both, especially Barcelona, Seriously stop using Mascherano he is absolutely atroucious in defense; Alves is not what he he used to be 2 seasons ago, he is more like the more experienced version of Rafael now and yes Rafael sucks. You may or may not like Pep|Mou but those are world class managers, they have a deeper understanding of tactics than people like Carletto or Martino.
- Clasico reminded me a lot of the games from the Cruyff era, where Barcelona was able to score a lot, and get scored a lot too. Xavi has been absolutely phenomenal for the recent history at Barcelona but damn, its time to move on.
- On the Real side, Carvajal & Marcelo were terrible, once again the ex-Leverkusen dude proved he doesnt have what it takes to be Real's future #2.
- Ronaldo and Bale, seriously these are the type of games where you need to excel about the rest, but as always they were mediocre, Neymar the same.

@tancredipalmeri ... I get off to your pics every morning xo
WHAT
She's such a miserable looking woman.
Yeah bit of a mistake saying the arsenal match. The Chelsea game. A few of the goals he could have done better I think.
I'm not a fan of Arteta anyway, so I don't think he should start.
When is Ramsey back? If he doesn't get any minutes tonight, then is he not playing on Saturday?

Your gifs getting better and better Shatner. This one is amazing on many levels.
How does he still play for Real? He offers nothing in attack, and he seems like a liability in defense. I suppose one could say that about both back four's, with the exception of perhaps Alba (Wasn"t outstanding, but didn't fuck up).
We have got some quality young players. Speaking of quality.
Rekik has expressed an interest in remaining at PSV next season on loan, he said that it will be beneficial to his development. I say we go for it, let him have one more season away.
Yeah, he really needs to. If NYCFC were playing starting next fall, I think he'd be a prime candidate to be a loanee there as well.
Ooh that's a point.

Quite clear city are in frontUnsure if the rehosting of this image worked or not.. but this chart shows the difference in points between the two teams before the derby at Old Trafford during the Premier League years.

Dc plz, you know they'll never get near the senior team except to meet home-grown players quota

Hahahahah.I love my office sometimes.
We had an awesome one a few weeks ago where someone sent round an email saying their flask had been stolen from the second floor fridge and that it was a Christmas present so could they please have it back.
They even attached a picture but it was super low res.
Their only other RB is Arbeloa isn't it? I suppose they could have played Sergio Ramos at RB and then Varane at CB.
Who on earth gives someone a flask for Christmas? Sounds like someone did that person a favour.

Varane could be quality one day, but I doubt he's ready for 1st team, but i dont watch enough of him to judge really. Decent FullBacks are in short supply, seems surprising as it is an integral position in modern football.
Roma fans, what happened to Dodó? Seemed in good form at the start of the year, what happened to him?
Depends if it was one of these it would be different
especially if filled with Jameson's whiskey

Haha I'm not sure anyone would admit to losing a hip flask at work.
What's a Canadian flask?
A Sviatoslav.
Barcelona and Real should have much better defenders, but I guess I don't blame them too much for ignoring their weakness. Both teams play maybe a handful of games where their defense actually comes into play. They can absolutely smash everyone else in the league and in the early stages of Champions League. Gotta keep them fans happy with expensive players who score goals.
He doesn't even drink.
Please. Much like Shakira's hips, his russian genes don't lie.

It's a thermos really, but flask is interchangeable I guess.
I think we just call those travel mugs.
yup
that's a thermos.
We just call them flasks, like how we call all vaccum cleaners hoovers

Yeah, that is beyond nailed on. He said the PSG project is "amazing" a month ago, they want young French talent, and his release clause is "only" €30m. Lavezzi is totally droppable too.
Will be interesting to see what happens to Cavani-sama. Lucas has been coming into his own in 2014, and now they're getting a top left-winger...
Yeah Shawty, it;s a flask.
I've never understood that. But I do call all cotton swabs, Q-tips.
Its a thermos. You'll never get me calling it a flask. I drink alcohol out of a flask. I drink coffee out of a travel mug. If I ate soup, I guess I'd carry it in a thermos.
