Wat?
ME3 was the best out of the three in terms of gameplay mechanics. Shooting, gunplay, cover and pace were spot on. There were other things lacking, like a Hub area, subquests, exploring, dialogue. The ending was absolutely ok, I actually liked it.

*PULGA SIGNAL*

Former Barcelona coach Radomir Antic believes that Blaugrana superstar Lionel Messi deliberately stayed away from the action during the 1-0 Champions League defeat against Atletico Madrid due to his frustration at being played as a winger.

The Argentina international was heavily criticised after running just 6.8 kilometres as Barca crashed out of Europe and Antic has likened Messi's situation under Gerardo Martino to that of Rivaldo under Louis van Gaal during the 1999-2000 campaign.

Van Gaal insisted on playing the Brazilian on the left wing against his will - despite his preference to be deployed centrally - leading to a strained relationship between the two.

"Messi did not do much running because the coach told him to play as a winger. This was Messi's way of saying 'If you want me to play on the wing, I will do just that'," Antic told Goal.

"This situation is pretty similar to what happened between Van Gaal and Rivaldo. Van Gaal forced Rivaldo to play on the left and each time he got the ball, he just passed it back to Winston Bogarde.


"I don't think Messi will accept playing as a winger after everything he has done for Barcelona. He will say 'If you want me on the wing, I will play there, but whether I will get involved in the game is another thing...'"

Did he ruin his legend status with Milanisti after this book or do they still like him? <3

Kojima screwed up by getting Kiefer Sutherland and not Pirlo to play Snake. They're dead ringers (or maybe it's just me)

I don't like the fact that he wanted to leave for most of the time and then complained about the pen, like it was all Galliani's fault. In the end, he's a professional football player, so it's not like he was the only one looking for higher wages and different clubs after winning a lot in a particular one.

Apart from that, he was crucial for Ancelotti's tactics and the 2006 WC, so it's all good.

My copy of the Pirlo book has arrived from Amazon. It's pretty slight. I guess I'm too used to these huge fantasy tomes.

Barcelona have had their mind set on ter Stegen for awhile I believe. Otherwise Xavi and the rest of his dirtbag compatriots would have been tapping De Gea up for at least two years now.

Tonight will be a wonderful night. We will party on the streets and in unison we will all shout "HALA MADRID!" from one corner of Earth to another.

I am so happy today because tonight love will be shared.

HALA MADRID.

No Cristiano, No Jesé, No Khedira, No Arbeloa, it doesn't matter. None of that matters. It's the madridismo spirit which will linger from coast to coast and not only conquer Mestalla, and crush Barcelona but also the night where magic will pour into the hearts of non-believers.

I'm a little disappointed they haven't, honestly.

Every club should know the feeling of being subjected to their antics.

Reviews say that it’s hard to control the football in Kinect Sports Rivals, meaning that it’s an great simulation of being Marouane Fellaini.


Holy shit hahaha.

True. Even Del Piero (!!!!) and Buffon were close to leaving during Capello's era. Ale was really close to Arsenal and Gigi to Milan (and in 2010 to Roma, but stayed for Conte)

So ironically going down helped us keep our best players :lol

I want to hear from the neutrals, who's more hamstringed today by injuries?

Barcelona missing pretty much their whole backline

or Madrid missing Cristiano

This isn't your typical autobiography, you can tell by the tone that it's mostly tongue-in-cheek.

Hmm. Maybe he only favourited it by mistake.

I do that a lot, the favourite button is in a stupid place and sometimes when you're scrolling you end favouriting things you never meant to.

Depending on who you follow and what you search, this can get you in trouble.

They are usually quite good about hiding the big stuff, but all the social media stuff spoils a fuck ton, especially with cast members taking behind the scenes stuff.

Damn you Amell.
