Really nice. Will get the camera out when I get around to unpacking. The only shirt I've been slightly disappointed with recently has been the blue Brazil one. Fabric just seems weird on that one.

Liverpool really needs to be a part of this again. It sucks being on probation. We've had some great matches against Real, Barca, et al. and we're good at kicking the other English teams out of the CL
I might be alone here from the Non-L'Pool guys but I miss having Liverpool in the CL. And as funny as it was to see United get eliminated I still would have preferred that they made it through. But I guess that's competition.
By the looks of it though it seems Liverpool won't be in the CL for quite a while. Carroll, Downing, Adam are just not good enough. Had Liverpool been able to keep their players(I know its imaginary, but still interesting)
-Suarez---Torres
-----Gerrard-----
--Alonso--Lucas-
------Masch------
Damn that would be a great team lol. I think my point is Liverpool should buy foreigners. Cheaper and better.
Ah, that would be because it's a Nike jersey which uses the fabric made from recycled PET bottles. I've never personally worn one, but it did seem a little coarse and that it would get caught on my skin somehow. Don't think people are a big fan of that fabric, but I like the concept.
Awful fucking material. Can't wear this seasons home kit due to it.
All hail Barzagli. Fifa commentator says his name in the most non-italian way. He is a beast in fifa, though his stats aren't that great. Maybe it's just me.
Who according to you is better than Silva at CB?
edit
Speaking of CBs I just googled Puyols girlfriend Malena Costa, wow. She must love him for his looks and personality.
Barzagli and recently Chiellini are both better than him (this season).
A lot of people agree with you here. One of the tenets of our philosophy (or at least that Kenny believes) seems to be that British players will have more loyalty to the club, more desire to win and represent the team. With our hardest working players all being foreign (Suarez, Kuyt, Reina, Skrtel, Enrique), it's pretty obvious that the plan as it is is not working.
I really hope to see some more talent brought in. Unlike some others I do not wish to sell everyone we have (buy high sell low would be a pretty awful business plan), but we really need some inspiration and I don't think there are any English players who can deliver what we need and want to join Liverpool.
Our top three English targets in the last window all joined other clubs (Ashley Young and Phil Jones to United, Connor Whickham to Sunderland) - our second choice targets simply shouldn't be English.

Started up a new season with Liverpool today on FIFA Vita. Sold Andy Carroll to Atletico Madrid and bought Llorente with the spoils. Felt right somehow. Added Gotze and Scott Sinclair too. Playing some great attacking football with Lucas holding, Henderson (who has five-star skill moves) and Gotze in the middle. Suarez and Sinclair on either side of Llorente feels good man..
Nobody would buy Adam, however.
Oh and Carragher is at Stoke.

Not even th best player in that picture
Also I like Barca but it's clear as day they get favourable decisions, their fans denying it amuses me

They do appear to get more decisions their way, probably because most of their games are played in their opposition's half of the pitch.

There's more to it than just that (nothing to do with Unicef though).

There's rumours that this is going to be the referee for the final:
Barca is fucked now

So Kagawa is still stalling on that new contract despite being offered double the money Plzzzzz Fergie! He would be a top top signing for any of the English clubs.
I think his biggest wish was to play for manu. It's probably a done deal at this point

Not sure if it's been posted, saw it pop up the the EPL Banter Page on Facebook.
When they cant even get the punishment for shooting the ball away right you start questioning the rest of the chart.

Don't know if there's any truth in that to be honest. First it's Bild and second, I somehow can't believe Kagawa is earning 1.5m a year coming from Japan's second division as a nobody.

Oh, poor little Arsenal, still whinging about that RVP red card. Weren't they the only side, until APOEL, presumably, to go a whole game without a shot?

I lol hard that certain Barcafans are pointing out that Mourinho raises the double standard when he speaks about refs, but don't say anything about Guardiola.
Tsk, must be a problem of only seeing a part of the whole story.
Double standards, serious business.

Fucking group projects man. I have one due tomorrow and was supposed to see a rough version of our PowerPoint by last night to review/practice with.... Still haven't received shit.
On top of that the person actually doing the PowerPoint(avidly volunteered "wanted to do the whole PowerPoint") Doesn't actually know how to do a nice one and has pawned off "making it pretty"(female) to another female who has no time today to do anything.
If they would have just sent me the rough copy last night I could be done in 30 minutes with a nice one.... Now I'm left with my dick in my hands waiting.....
30% of final grade as well.
/rant
Bayern vs. Madrid will def be the more interesting than the Barca vs. Chelsea. Can see either Bayern or Madrid winning that one.

I don't think they will myself - man for man, I think Bayern is a stronger team, but Real has Mourinho, and that will make a huge difference.

The only position in which Bayern is superior is Lahm's.
I have to organise a seminar for early next month, and I decided today that I am not going to spend my time putting together a Powerpoint distraction reel. Fuck em. They can have one interesting photo.

Real are surely favourites, especially with the second leg at home.
I'm not sure Bayern are better man for man either...it's close but I reckon in a combined team i'd have 6 Madrid players at least.
Cassillas
Lahm Ramos Pepe Marcelo
Alonso Schwein
Robben Özil Ronaldo
Gomez
That'd be my "combined" team. Guess you could argue one way or another in a couple of positions.

Its a Business Communication class. The PowerPoint is required and it's so simple to make I have no problem with doing it. Just can't believe people who volunteered for their roles are just now(final week before project is due, have had 3 months to get everything together) doing shit.
Actually I can believe it, I fucked up by assuming human beings can do actual work. Her doing the PowerPoint is literally doing about 10% of the project....Compared to actually researching and transcribing an outline for what the PowerPoint is based off of.

It's raining in Madrid right now.
Badstuber > Pepe

Member
Haha really? I was under the impression Badstuder wasn't that great!?
I don't really watch enough of Bayern to make certain judgements on all of their players though. I can imagine Boateng running Marcelo close (switching Lahm back to LB). Neuer too is great but I think Cassillas is just a bit better for now. Guess it's harsh not to include Ribery also, but where would he go, not better than Robben or Ronaldo for me.
At the same time you could argue to include Benzema, Higuain or Di Maria.
Anyways, it's close. Should be a fantastic tie.

You guys are fucked then. APOEL players perform 100000 times better in rain conditions!!!!
Hahahahahahaha. Just kidding please be gentle :-(
please be gentle :-(I'd probably have Higuain or Benzema over Gomez due to personal preference but that's a great team. They're the three strongest teams in the world, these two along with Barca
Badstuber has transformed into a different player, he's great now. I wouldn't want Pepe in my team anyway, he's all that's wrong with El Classicos.

Same here. And I prefer Higuaín over Benzema.
The french has more ball skills, but Higuaín's soul and efforts made me fall in love with him.

Aguero doesn't like Manchester and would rather go back to Madrid where there's better restaurants.
Benzema, Marcelo, Di Maria, Sahin, Khedira and Callejon are all very good

There was, and then everyone who was a regular traded in FIFA 12 because they didn't like the new system. The few of us left moved on.
