HOLY FUCKING SHIT. Mexico's Santos just pulled a Manchester City by scoring two goals in two minutes at 89 in the clock. If this score remains they go to the final against Monterrey. :O

edit: and they did it HOLY FUCK

Couldn't sleep, so I might as well annoy everybody with more photos from yesterdays' celebrations in Turin!

I can't believe I missed the entire thing. I dozed off and I couldn't record it like usual.

I need some highlights asap.



LEON is back in the primera, after 10 years and they will have a new stadium. Fantastic. I miss them and UA De G. Too bad Leones are terrible even in a 14 club league.

Or Park Ji Sung, Korean NT hero.

Lol. This. When I lived in Korea I never heard the end of it. Park Ji Sung, the figure skater girl and their Olympic swimmer. And in typical Korean fashion, people seem to care about their looks more than anything.

One of my "English newspapers" I was supposed to teach the kids had a picture of those two (the swimmer and the figure skater) and it said "See? Athletes can be beautiful people too. Just like singers." /facepalm

Did he ever win anything with Korea? lol

I believe they got very far in the knockout stages of the Korea/Japan hosted WC. But that was after some horrendous refereeing that would put Chelsea/Barça in the CL to shame.

The swimmer guy does quite well but when Michael Phelps is around no ones going to notice you. The figure skater is incredibly talented though.

What the fuck is up with today? Olympiakos pulled a Manchester City in the Euroleague final too. They were down 19 points with two minutes to go and ended up beating CSKA Moscow 62-61.

Kim Yu-Na! That routine she did in Vancouver was amazing.

Speed skating is still the national sport though.

Right. It's it "Yon Ah"? I'll never understand the haphazard way foreign names are romanized. In Japan she's called キムヨナ (Kim Yo Na)

Not sure where Y(e)o became Yu, but I can understand moving the N from the first part to the next. Especially for Japanese where it'll sound like "Yongya" if you were to do that

I've had texts from Liverpool fans giving me shit for City winning the League.

All very oblivious to the horrendous state their own club is in.

Lol come now if the roles were reversed it'd be the exact same thing. Maybe you wouldn't be the one doing it, but generally speaking, Utd fans and Liverpool fans are just as vicious to each other. Of course it was more true when they were actually competing with each other for the league.

I'm finished Uni for the summer but my sleep patterns are all fucked up. Should have gone to sleep hours ago but I don't feel tired. I'll probably fall asleep at 6am and not wake up until the afternoon.

It also doesn't help that my mates are still doing exams in different subjects. I have absolutely nothing to do and nowhere to go until everyone is finished.

So bored.

I don't really understand why a liverpool fan would get that emotional about it, but maybe that's just me. It was great to watch as a neutral

Well, Liverpool fans obviously hate ManU -- I love seeing teams I hate lose too. The Vince Young winning run over USC resulted in a similar reaction from me all those years back.

For the non-Americans.. one of the most famous plays in American college football in the past decade or so.

I've started watching Breaking Bad. Seems good so far.

The wife is a bit cold though. isn't she?

Well there you go, you've started watching one of the best shows ever. Which season/episode are you on?

Yes, the wife is the low point of the show most of the time. :p But I actually like her, unlike most people.

last thing pool fans want is man utd winning epl while pool can't even make it to europa league

You're right: 김연아

I wish I knew more Korean. Mum messed up in that regard.

Congratulations City/dc/manager.

Had a terrible Sunday. Hoping that going through this thread will cheer me up. Was on page 105 yesterday and now we're on page 137. I imagine a lot of salt and tears in between. Don't let me down.

Oh and Wenger better do something about why we are so shit everytime Arteta doesn't play. West Brom was our only win this season in the league without Arteta and we only got that because we encountered Fulop but that really needs to change. When Arteta's not running things we really pay a price in that midfield of ours and that's just not right for an Arsenal side. If we want to play a possession, passing style football we must have more players than just Arteta capable of doing it.


And thank you Chelsea loaning us Benayoun for the season as he has been fantastic during a hectic period for us. I wish Wenger played him earlier in the season, he's been great.

I've not had much of a problem with Skylar, though I'm only midway through the second season. She was alright in Deadwood though.

Not really.

There was a disappointing lack of doicare.

I still have a 2 years left of my degree. Don't even want to think about what I'll do after that.

Have you ever been to NYC before? The place is bloody amazing.
 
Reality lived up to Sky hyperbole. I don't know where we go from here.
You mean in terms of hype? Or where United go from here?

Nope first time! Super excited. It'll be one week when I don't give a shit about transfers this summer! I think I'll be there during the finals of the Euro's actually.

I don't want it to come. I'm too scared.
At this point i just wanna see us fighting. And not giving up like we did some days ago. I think chelsea is way more dangerous than many people in germany think. Mata and drogba should be the players to watch. Its gonna be fucking interesting. And i hope that torres will stay on the bench. I have a bad feeling about him. Im afraid he could return to his 2008 form when he sees lahm im the defense agaim :D
