Arsenal, Newcastle, Bilbao or Atletico would be my other picks, but those in the quote I think would be better.

Honduras. And moving to Argentina this year
Pretty cool. I gotta say though I hope you're not tied down by anybody right now because those Argentinian women..... Yum.
EDIT:

I was responding to you asking what was wrong with me.
2-1 to Chelsea! Torres scores!

I want City to win to keep pressure on ManUnited but I want Torres to continue his hot run of form.
I would like 4-3 to City. Yaya Hattrick, Torres to score a hattrick for Chelsea and a 90th minute goal from Savic to win the game for City.
Won't happen but one can dream.
This isn't a good thing.
I just follow the others and want them to win. But nothing compares to my United love.

Goddammit my stupid girlfriend is acting all up dammit. Night ruined. ANY positive news here on footy-gaf before I go to bed?
*rage*
*rage*
A statement from Bolton: "Fabrice Muamba remains in intensive care at The London Chest Hospital. He is continuing to show signs of improvement this evening.
"He is currently able to breathe independently without the aid of a ventilator. He has also been able to recognise family members and respond to questions appropriately.
"These are all positive signs of progress. However, his condition remains serious and the medical staff in intensive care will continue to monitor and treat him.
"His family and club would like to thank the media for continuing to respect their privacy at this time."

That's great. Hes recovering way faster than I wouldve hoped for.
Gf mad at me and calling me selfish for asking her to stop calling with another guy and instead speak with me. Wtfisthisshit.jpg *hysterical laughter*
And now off to bed, good night.
Excellent stuff.
Reminds me of a college football player Eric Legrand. Average player, hard-worker, covering a kick-off makes an awkward tackle and is left with neck and spine damage. Took a very long time to remove him from the field and when they finally diagnosed it was said he wasn't going to be able to walk ever again. Now he's standing under his own power and taking small steps all on his own and continues to rehab. He's very active on twitter and super positive, great guy.
This happened this past school year:
Eric LeGrand Leads His Rutgers Scarlet Knights Onto The Field
"I left tire marks on the field that day, the next time I leave footprints" -Eric Legrand
I hope Muamba has a full recovery and can be another inspiration for people.

Having recently had a family member go through a very rough recovery from a double bypass, not breathing without the aid of a ventilator is a very common occurrence for around 1-3days post opp. So not so surprised by Muamba staying on it for 2 days. His main issue right now will be fluid in the lungs/water retention as a result of his heart not pumping with enough force, depends on how long it'll take it to recover sufficiently.
I will be shocked if he doesn't have some sort of physical impairment to his brain though, he was not getting sufficient oxygen to his brain for a long time...
I just remember every improvement and every issue being an emotional rollercoaster, the family will definetly appreciate the support they are getting.

I thought Yurt would appreciate this
This looks great on my iPad. I also love LMFAO.
The what the hell wasn't directed at you. Badly phrased, sorry.
Good news about Muamba. Brilliantly promising.
That gif is really slow to load, it hasn't yet.
I thought Yurt would appreciate this
what's the source of this? looks like lmfao
realistically, this is probably a much worse situation (likely brain damage), but we can only hope for the best.

Still don't know about EPL but it looks like I'm gonna have to be a Barcelona fan for La Liga. Found out today that a guy I work with is from Barcelona and is a big fan so at least I'll have one person to talk to about soccer.

And yea always hope for the best.

Excellent. Thanks.
Watching Athletic Bilbao vs Valencia right now (getting caught up) and Valencia is running away with it.
And earlier I just finished up Udinese vs Napoli from the weekend. So glad Udinese was able to at least keep it tied after all the shit calls and the red cards against them.
EDIT: Time for Roma vs Genoa

Yeah saw the highlights for that game, Soldado beasting it. Check out Jordi Alba(left back but can play wing) for Valencia. Our main target for the next transfer window, depending on what happens with Abidal.
The Napoli game was good, lots of action. Red card even though the player blatantly dived , missed penalty, late goals.
Milan needs a left back too, and so do we depending on how Abidals situation turns out.
Jordi Alba is a must for us in the transfer window. So good, fast and young.
Though I hate taking players from other La Liga teams.
We also need a left back...
Manchester United should buy Emilio Izaguirre from Celtic

Definitely. He looks a great player. He kind of reminds me of Valencia actually.

The only team I support is Chelsea. I like what I seen of Bilbao recently and wouldn't mind following their progress but I can't say I would support them. I want to know what people who support multiple teams do when they meet in Europe.

So it's Rovers Sunderland tomorrow
If we win we could go 6 points clear of the drop zone and sessignon and twattermole are out, you know what that means don't you?
2-0 to Sunderland

Man U to win every game. Bilbao to win every game but United. Roma to win every game but United and Bilbao. Yeah it's not support per se, I just make an effort to watch their games and take an interest in what's going on

I like how you quoted me before I could change the spelling of meet.

The playoff for the turkish super league begins in a month or so. Absolutely horrid format. Top four teams have their league points halved and then they play each other twice for more points.
So like a mini-league within a league, except galatasaray, who have pretty much sown up the league this year, have a possibility of losing it to 3 other teams who are nowhere near them in the points tally.

Just as I feared.
Think I'm gonna put a couple of quid on you to win to be honest. Good odds and I can see it happening.

"Good" show.
Fieldings stand up is horrifically bad. I'd call it egregious, if I knew what that meant.
This is an outrage.

Speaking of British comedy - Does the host of The Tuesday Club podcast sound like a David Walliams Little Brittain character to anyone else?
This.
I wish Valencia had better financial support, over the past few years, they lost David Villa, David Silva, and Juan Mata.
