So many Chelsea fans are convinced he's coming back. The sooner they realise they're living in dreamland the better.

I hope it's true but I just can't see it.
He's been totally dropped from the squad for the last few weeks. Apparently he's not even been training with the first team. To come back from that would be quite a turn-around.
Anyway, the last official word was from Ferguson pre-Bilbao and all he said was "I don't know anything about it".
Oh god... :facepalm:
Wait, Sicily instead of Cyprus how...?
edit: oh so they entered "Nicosia" in their map search and chose a small city in Sicily instead of the capital of Cyprus.
LMAO.
Yeah, odds on it is someone on a windup.

Ahh, I gathered that you didn't live in England anymore, but now I know.
No, I had a reasonable amount of alcohol and can post on GAF without looking like more of an ass than usual.
I just watched Tintin (movie) for the first time. Very fun, good memories too!
I'm guessing the people that didn't knew Tintin before the movie can't enjoy it so much.
¡Alcohol para todos!

I loved Tintin, saw it in 3D and it was great. I was upset it wasn't at the Oscars this year.
(Alcohol for all?)
It was a very fun movie to watch, but it just wasn't something 'amazing' IMO.
And yes!
btw, in the Championship league just one match is missing, I believe Messi and some other guy are the ones still to play it. hurry up, please, I want to play a couple of matches more before my xbox live ends

This season has pretty evidently shown that we need to go back to playing 4-3-3 in Europe. Athletic demonstrated the qualities that we've been letting slide in the past few seasons: fluidity in the final third, speed and overloading in the counter-attack, interchangeability up front, combined pressing without the ball, treasuring possession with the ball, etc. Yes, we lose the lethality of Rooney playing in the hole behind Chicharito, but it's best to save that for the PL - being one of the most clinical teams around isn't enough in Europe. Whether it's Pogba or Petrucci or a new signing, we need to integrate at least two or three composed, intelligent central midfielders into the squad over the next few seasons, especially with Giggs and Scholes in their twilight, Carrick around the corner, Anderson an enigma and Fletcher potentially perma-crocked. Cleverley is a good step in that direction, I suppose.
WTF! context?

I definitely think we'll buy. I think Petrucci will go on loan before he comes in.
Ideal signing is Laure Boulleau. I may get her name on a shirt anyway.
Javi Garcia just signed a big new contract at Benfica. He's a bit of a mentalist (I dunno, maybe rvy will agree) and I don't know if he would have been right for us as a tough DM.
Get Nuri Sahin. That's it.
Super Laure > current Evra.
Javi Garcia and Nuri Sahin are two different kinds of midfielder. Ones a DM the other really more of an attacking midfielder. What do Utd need in the midfield really? I guess one could argue that their midfield could be improved in several areas, but they're unlikely to bring in more than one player given Utd's recent history.
I personally would think that the best kind of midfielder for them to have would not be one of the more specialised types that one sees so often but a traditional centre-mid, someone equally comfortable going forward and defending. This is largely based on the 4-4-2 formation, if Utd did want to go back to a 4-3-3 then they would probably be best off with a DM. The best traditional centre-mid in the world right now I think is Xabi Alonso, whilst he does sit pretty deep he is someone who can do anything required in the centre. Yaya Toure is another i think who is more traditional though he tends to play in either a DM or AM position. Both of those players are unavailable however so I guess United would need to look elsewhere; I personally can't really think of too many who fit the traditional mold and are good enough.

There's a difference between a DM and a CM. Schweinsteiger, Vidal and Nuri Sahin are CM, for example but they also know how to defend... Xavi is a CM too but I believe he is very poor in defense. DM is a pure defensive player like Luiz Gustavo, Lass, Makelele, Tymo, etc.
The attacking midfielders are another kind like Kroos, Ozil, Goetze, Iniesta, etc.
United need a RW. Preferably with blonde hair.
We're actually going to use him in CB tomorrow

Chelseagaf, any thoughts about the first non-AVB PL game? I expect us to be more fun to watch at least.
On the topic of De Gea, I love the guy, even though he's a United player. UNNGGHG!! But really - on Thursday's game he played like he was the most experienced United player <3 He's so young that I wonder if he'll spend the rest of his career with United?
Yay, more Tintin love Can't wait for the sequel by Peter Jackson.

Napoli scored 17 goals in their last 6 games.
I can only assume that Cavani and Lavezzi are trying to summon some holy spirit by uniting their dicks. Whatever they are doing they enjoy it, so good for them.
Cavani =
He's matured very fast <3
C'mon Yurt, you are talking about the inevitable that us Chelsea fans will experience next week :'( Though I am surprised they have not conceded a goal in the CL yet.
Oh and as Woodenlung said, interesting photo lol! Looks like they are in pain from all that ball banging!
Pirlo?

Chelsea have a 100% home record in this seasons CL & have yet to concede at Stamford Bridge.

Guys, guys... MAss Effect 3 is... Man, I have no words. Epic shit flying and blowing around while dudebros suck each others dicks (or pussy in my case) and you keep on firing alien mofos.
How is it compared two? I'm finishing all the loyalty missions from the second game at the moment. Great game! I only wish there was more story like there was in one.

I think that Mass Effect 2 is one of the best games games of this gen.
Well, Mass Effect 3 is so far one of the best games I've ever played.
And don't worry, the story is more like first one, is better written and decisions have actual consequences.
I actually think we need a solid DM more than anything else.
So far, it's way way way better than ME2. ME2 is crap so this corrects a lot of things that they messed up on in that game.
For example the writing is SO GOOD. I've laughed so much at the dialogue because it's genuinely funny. Characters are written very well. Not much "daddy issues" and pointless loyalty shit in this one. It's about the war. It's awesome.
