Arsenal have a great youth system.
in case it hasn't posted Muamba's heart is beating without the help of machines and he can move his arms and legs.

They do, but no matter how good it is you can't make a world class team out of it. Not even Barca could do that, even though they were (are) close.
How have you guys gone and chosen teams to support outside of your preferred league? I've been looking for teams to support outside Italy and can be persuaded in exchange for Juve love
Spain- Real Madrid.
Italy - Juvenile (maybe)
Germany - Borrussia Dortmund ( maybe)
Obviously United is my first love and I can't even support other clubs as passionately I aupport United.
But the coverage of Italian and BL is so bad in India I don't feel like watching these leagues a lot. The commentary is just awful.
Is such a thing even possible? Not every youngster stays at Arsenal/Barca/RM etc.

AP are reporting Muamba is speaking again now. Hopefully the good news keeps coming.
How many players in Arsenal's current team were raised by Arsenal btw?
Wilshere, Chesney (arrived @16), Djorou, Frimpong and Gibbs?
I meant that Barca accepted that and bought in players. Wenger, for a couple years, seemed to believe he could raise a world class team by himself and their academy, using his own youngsters (and buying youngsters to develop). The Arsenal cycle etc.

Oh wow. This is fun!
Awesome news.
Very good news! Hopefully they can get him fully functioning again.
Season 3 is fantastic. Haven't seen last night's episode but I can only imagine it's as good as the rest of the season.
"Toby, in an attempt to make peace, so you stop f*cking up my sh*t, I present you with this, your first pet. Its a hermit crab, and I believe his name is Spurgeon..."
Anyone bought the new Ipad btw? I keep hearing about heating problems, yet some people say they have no problems. The giant thread is similar.
I'm a bit scared to by one of earlier ones if it's a manufacturing issue... apparently there's some issues with the screens as well.

In recent years I've been partial to Real Madrid, definitely, but only sort of as a reaction against Barca. Their game is obviously miles better, but I just can't stand Busquets. He ruins it all for me, even more than Pepe would ruin it for Real. Bilbao is exciting because of what they've done with their policies, and Llorente is insane.
I like Bayern quite a bit from Luca Toni's days with them. Still sad when I think about how he got sent to the reserves. But if you asked me today which team I prefer it's probably Borussia Dortmund.
Partial to Porto, Rangers (but Nakamura is a fucking champ), Lille, PSV. Can't find an EPL team that I can give a shit about. QPR is the closest because I like the history but I'm hard pressed to support a team I know won't compete for anything, ever, and will probably be relegated this season. City does have a nice website, though. And Noel Gallagher
Copenhagen, obviously, for their manager alone.

^^You should join the Aston Villa train ^^
I don't think I've noticed any heating issues, but I haven't used any gpu or cpu intensive apps yet. I love the thing. I'm probably going to delve a bit more into Spacechem mobile tonight, and can let you know after that.

I know
I remember when he got linked with our bench. Felt bad for Luca. Scary couple of weeks. Thank you based Conte
Awesome, thanks! I could understand if it was heated when playing games and stuff, but it would be irritating when reading books or web browse.
I wonder if a case would just make it warmer.

I did read for a good chunk of Saturday morning on it before switching back to my kindle, and I don't remember any heat. I'm not saying it never got warm, but it was never something that was noticeable or inconvenient in the least.
Copenhagen, obviously, for their manager alone.
The bald guy Woodenlung's constantly posting pictures of? He's managing FC Cologne right now.
Also please don't support Copenhagen.

Will be back next year for CL when Cologne has fired his ass. He needs a team that he can watch play and there will be plenty of opportunities for that the next 2 years in Champions League!

Started Friday Night Lights, it better be good Awesome Animals!
Sometimes if I get up big in the first half like 2-0, 3-0 I feel like I need to take it easy and not rack up anymore goals for fear of the person quitting next goal. They always quit when I score some magnificent goal nowadays.

Make sure you get at least 6 episodes in, they stop focusing on the sport so much and the character development truly happens. Also stick with it after season 2, that is its weakest season. They were having trouble in the ratings department, so they tried to change up the style of the show, only the ratings didn't improve and the critics were confused. They get back to the amazingness in season 3 and beyond.
That's why we need to play together more. I won't rage quit.

Yeah. We got our sport director as a new manager now, taking over after his fuck up with hiring Roland Nilsson.

I'm up to about episode 8, quite enjoying it so far. I like American Football as it is so I don't mind that too much.

The man won you the league though...
He didn't win anything, only was here 6 months. Roland actually got the highest points average of any Copenhagen manager ever, but it was weird, he had no respect with the players and he wasn't very motivational at all, he had the assistant manager stand and yell at the players instead of himself.
Of course he also crashed us out of Europe and also wanted to change our play style it seemed, which is a big no no in the club, we have been locked in on 442 ever since Roy Hodgson was here and revolutionized the club/made the master plan. Yeah you heard right people. Roy Hodgson is the main reason behind Copenhagens success.
No idea but I assume so.
You just have to ask Viking about it. He was ust beyond insane when he was there. They just used to attack and could not defend at all. And he would go mental about it. That guys can be pissed off if he want to.
Now Viking is beyond shit.
Rubbish leagues?

I would believe the last part if you had suddenly bought Bogdan and was starting with him.

Well, that was something I kept telling the gf who doesn't care about Am. Football at all, now she can't stop watching. It's different for me because I grew up playing Am. Football, and did so until I was 18, so I know I'm going to be much more into it from the start.
