Did you I'm crazy about Barca as well? Your avatar has my favorite player in the world tooThat's why I'd hate to see them face each other.
Yeah I know, lurked here for ages lol. Thats why I said (sorry Fady) cause it would be hard with both your teams playing each other.
pick one
pick
Barca, not
I wouldn't even be mad if AVB took over. Our players would actually play for him.
So guys, I read that FHM magazine today. The one with Olivia on the cover. I was suprised to find out Olivia Wilde flew to prague to audition for Casino Royale, she read for the part of Vesper Lynd and she did not get it, apparently it took her a while to get over not getting it. Never knew that. The reason I post is because the troll in my avatar got the part, and if I am honest she was decent in that movie. Not sure olivia could have pulled that off.
Suprised chelsea pulled it off, happy for fady. Wont be happy for fady when we draw them in the next round and they boo iniesta in stamford bridge.
Can't wait for the draw.

Oh my God Cruz Azul, can you keep on choking?
Oh my God Corinthians, why are you playing like an Italian team?

Damn, I was tricked along with Neymar...I was wondering where the ball went. Wish we saw this kind of stuff in actual matches on a frequent basis.

Didn't see the match but I'm happy Chelsea won.
Congrats Chelsea-GAF, a massive high after the many lows of recent weeks.

Fixed for accuracy.
All the cunts that undermined him scored. He must have drank a lot.
Was it confirmed if Torres was undermining him too?
What did JT say?
There's no player power, there was no player revolt or undermining, and, for his part, he had a great personal relationship with AVB.
Well, obviously he doesn't have the balls to own up to it.
I would be a bigger fan of Chelsea if JT, Drogba, Cashley and whoever else (Lampard?) weren't cunts.
I'll cheer them on against City, nevertheless. The only team I won't cheer on against City, come to that, is Stoke. And maybe QPR.

No more USA teams in the CONCACAF Champions League.
This is Santos and Monterrey's tournament to lose.

I'm sorry to say this but I want City to win the title. Man Utd has hogged all the league titles since I started following footy.
GAF has been fucked for me since the Derby for some reason but seems ok now.
Anyway well done to Chelsea for last night. Despite the awful plastic flags making another appearance I was glad you beat Napoli purely because of my own personal experience with their fans when they visited Liverpool last year (Spitting at people, Harassing young women ect).
Drogba looked back to his menacing and diving best and he is unplayable when he's in that kind of mood. Also one of the first times I have been impressed by David Luiz both defensively and offensively. Should be interesting who you come up against in the next round but if Madrid or Barcelona come out of the hat then it will be curtains (No shit sherlock).
As for the derby - So glad we won that game and a few of the players needed that kind of performance to get us back on track. Hope Kenny carries on with the Carroll/Suarez partnership because it looked threatening. Fans have been asking for our players to bust a gut to support Suarez in the box and look what happens when we do. He's never going to be a central striker so we need to deploy him in the same role he played/plays for both Ajax and Uruguay and we will start reaping the rewards from his excellent play.

I figure there are some FM players in here.
What stats should I be focusing on if I'm trying to create a team that plays like Swansea? i.e., lots of possession, two ball playing midfielders. I tried to focus on passing, creativity, off the ball, and first touch, and I found some decent players. But the team is garbage and were like 12th in league 1.
Any tips?

Bit rough.
Just their chairman, a bunch of their players, and a lot of their fans.
Same problem a lot of us have.
Dying to see this sight again though:
In court if need be. JT will probably get the names of a dozen Zambian foster children tattooed around his neck before we get to that point.
IT'S POGBA'S BIRTHDAY TODAY. I HEAR THE BELLS OF FATE.
Its not really about stats but team instructions and formation.
I like running a 4-5-1 with or 4-2-3-1 deep with supporting fullbacks or ball playing defenders when trying to retain possession. In your team instructions; slow pace, and short passes. It works for me but I like changing them up depending on who I want to play in my squad.

calling him away from manchester? la liga might be just where he goes I suppose.
Coming on for the last 20 when we are down a couple of goals.
...and doing sweet naff all.

I knew a great Fady multi-quote post was coming! Yes Fady, I watched the Chelsea game! And yup, I can now start ME3. But I need to buy it first
I fixed it (a bit).

Just do the Drogba
Should just ban players who do this shit :/ You have video evidence, use it

Lol I want City to lose so they can see that simply buying players doesn't guarantee titles.

Works for Mourinho, and it seems to be working for ManCity too(isnt it?)
Keep Hart, Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Yaya, Silva, Aguero, Balotelli, buy a few more, sell some and I think City will do much much better in the CL.
Im not rooting for City, but I am against Man United winning it again(and again and again) so I guess that kinda means I have to go for City.
I still can't believe it. I can't see us making it beyond the quarter-finals, at least if we face Madrid, Bayern, or my other love, Barca. It could get humiliating :0 I hope we fight till the end, like Arsenal did, who deserve nothing but respect for the spirit they have shown in the past few weeks.
I should be called the multiquoter, seriously Thing is work keeps me busy for a few hours so I then have to skim through a few pages.
I love you Woodenlung Enjoy Downpour :] I'll start my copy after going through more of my backlog.
The funny thing is the team has played at their best since AVB left. I can't imagine this wonderful situation to last for long - we have City at Etihad, Arsenal at the Emirates, we host Tottenham, and we will have a deadly QF Champions League game, no doubt.
But the thing is there is a difference so far.
Check this, three games without AVB and it went like this:
Against Birmingham, the first leg took place at STAMFORD BRIDGE under AVB, where Chelsea played in a very dull manner, and Sturridge helped us come back to EQUALIZE.
Under RDM, we played far better even though it was an away game, kept our first clean sheet in ages, and scored 2 nice goals alongside missing a penalty and a sitter - the combination of these things under AVB has not happened in a long time.
We then played a tough Stoke team, and while they were down to 10 men for 80% of the game, the attacks were far better, the formation was more interesting and effective, another clean sheet for the team, and a beautiful goal. We also hit the post 3 times for a change and got very dangerous.
Lastly, we had to play an in-form Napoli who came from an excellent league game (winning 6-3) and an excellent advantage of 3-1 from the first leg against Chelsea. Mind you this is the team that Bayern Munich beat by one goal (3-2) at home and Man City (as much as I admire them) only managed to draw them at home.
Maybe it really was the players not trying their hardest for the now-former manager, but you have to admire the changes since AVB has left, pretty incredible stuff..
I felt we got unlucky a bit in some parts to be honest, for instance - the penalty given to the team was because of a handball by a Napoli player who already had a yellow card and yet was not carded again, plus there was a definite penalty for Drogba that was not given, though he did dive, karma I guess
It would an indescribable feeling. I'd rather someone else knock either them of out than either of them. Realistically, I can't see Chelsea making it to the semis...as for Barca, I'd go nuts with happiness if they manage to beat Madrid or Bayern to the trophy. Madrid is too good though, and Bayern are monstrous. It'll be insane.
I don't want them to draw each other :[ I don't know how i'd feel. I was not a big football fan when they last faced one another.
Thank you Viva :] Watch some extended highlights if you get the chance, if only to see how differently they play without AVB.
I never got the QPR hate btw :0? What is it about them?
He seems to be too down all the time, it took him by surprise surely. He needs stuff like this IMO.
Good post Shogun : ] Congrats on the derby, Gerrard hat trick, all three were beautiful.
BTW LIVERPOOL FANS is it just me or did I change Liverpool's fate ever since I bumped into Gerrard? He has been in good form, no injuries, their first silverware in over half a decade, the first liverpool hat trick in ages?
You're mean lightning : [ On the other hand hats off to your club for pulling one amazing performance after another after that horrible loss to AC Milan. Beating Milan 3-0, thrashing Tottenham from 2 goals down to 5 up, and being the only club to beat Liverpool at Anfield all season, and a dramatic win at the final few minutes of extra time against Newcastle - very admirable.
Can we have the top 5 clubs qualify for CL football instead please :'(
You're too kind dc <3 Tevez may feature against Chelsea, should be interesting. Again, if you beat us I hope you push all the way for the title! Apparently the lads are nuts about ME3, saying it is superior to the already incredible ME2.

So the DFL (Bundesliga) seems to be thinking about doing the playing shedule in a different way starting 2013/14. After the first half of the season, they want to make the shedule "more interesting".
That could mean that they would put the championship candidates playing each other at the end of the season. Same for relegation candidates and international places candidates.
I don't really like that idea to be honest. Almost feels like play off matches which I really hate. It would only need one important player to be injured or one bad run to possibly get relegated or lose the championship. I think they should stay with what we've got now, there's nothing wrong with it. And it's not like you can make the championship fight more interesting with this when someone's 12 points or something ahead before the last 4 matches...

I was a bit puzzled by that. I know FCN declined the offer but FCM and BIF are both known to have better academies. We probably just a have bad rep compared to Copenhagen.
