If you mean entertainment wise, yes. No-one comes close to that dinho in making your jaw drop. But Messi is much more effective.

considering you have your own teams, how much do yall like the NBA over there?
is it like the way we look at the Big 3 leagues over here instead of the MLS?
i think out of my friend only two others like nba. but those two are really into it. most of the other germans dont care much though. there was a little hype when dirk won it, but it didnt last too long. american sports in general is not that popular in germany. germany is more about football, f1 and handball (lol).
Horrible endings = Final Fantasy XIII-2. What the fuck...

Just a friendly reminder, don't you fucking dare spoil the ending in this thread.

Ronaldinho's career arch makes me sad more than anything. He could have been an absolute legend.
Clyne can play LB, too. He's done it for Crystal Palace and England Youth quite well. His contract is expiring in the summer, so he'll be done on the cheap.
We'll spend. Our net spend for the past few seasons has been pretty low, so we can afford a minor splurge at least, especially with Berbatov (and maybe Park and Owen) freeing up some space on the wage bill.
Fixed. Villa have conceded a lot from set-pieces this season, so I think Young will start, even though I wouldn't mind Nani. Rafael and Valencia have a great partnership on the wing. Cleverley looked one of our better players against Wigan and I'd prefer the organization of a three-man midfield to another below-par performance from Welbeck or Chicharito. Better to bring one of them and Giggs on in the second half against tired legs. And Evra will play, you know he will.

How about Spurs. Think you will win tomorrow?
And who are your pick for the top 4?

Eh? We're playing today.
Argh, im not in Britain. It's tomorrow for me. It's 7:10pm Sunday evening for me.
Where are you? Sounds like Singapore or something?
New Zealand is where I live.
Bask in the glory Shogun and let them moan. As Moyes said, the world wanted Everton to win, concurred by Salazar's, "make the world smile" line this morning. We've just taken on the world Shogun, and and no gif sums it up better than this one.
I think to a degree Liverpool have brought this on themselves. Kenny conducts his interviews in a siege mentality style, he acts like its Liverpool V The World and The World are now only happy to comply.
<3
Awesome player. Not much more I can say.
wow, this is gold lol.
I remember in the 04/05 season, Liverpool were playing Crystal Palace at Anfield and Palace's Finnish (Jüŷúøëppyylll) midfielder "fouled" a Liverpool player and when he was arguing with the ref he did the same thing and got booked for it
Fantastic reaction to a dive :lol

Started following the epl for the first time this year. Got behind QPR since I wanted to support a newly promoted team, they're in London, new owners have money, and they won the championship League. Give it to me straight. What's the odds of them staying up? Was hopeful but yesterday's loss destroyed that. Really hope they don't, would be difficult to follow them in the lower league from the states.
I just think he's a wanker. He seems to dive much more than he ever did at Villa, I can remember a good 10 instances he's done that this season and it fucks me off if it's the case that he does it more now because he has the protection of a big club, so to speak. He scores a few goals but I just react like I did last week: we'll done Young, you fucking cum stain.
Also thanks for the small penis comments guys, it's not like the therapy and constant knob stretching isn't already ruining my life. Liverpool won, City won, Barca won and my penis is tiny
brb gna go kil myslf
Sorry to double post but they'll stay up. They've got a very good manager (even if he is a cock) and good home form. Wolves are definitely down, I'd say Blackburn probably are as well and I think Wigan have the momentum, so I'd say Bolton to go down.
Also is Hillsborough today? I thought it was yesterday and that's what the Alan Davies stuff was about? I'll try and watch a few of those videos tonight.
The plan, as it were, didn't work for us I really can't blame the owners for going with an Arsenal-style approach. I suppose the real clincher here is that Arsenal actually had a strong first team while the youth players developed.
More importantly they need better scouting and not limit themselves to mainly English players.

I am guessing it is 30mil + money made from selling downing, adam, henderson and a couple others? So theres a good 40mil combined there.
edit
This as well, if Carroll were Egyptian or Croatian his price would have been 5mil.
Ease up.
I think the Adam experiment is done. Or about to wind down over the first half of next season, anyway. Downing is basically shite but he's not a liability to nearly the same degree. Henderson they really like.
Well there's no arguing against this, but if you look at your young purchases, we've had some real good ones over the last year or two from all over the world. Bijev, Pelosi from America, Ibe and Sterling from England, João Carlos from Portugal, others who's names are escaping me. We've scouted a few in Mexico as well that should come to fruition at some point.
Even saying that our first team buys were bad may be pushing it. Young would have had a bigger impact than Downing has, and Jones would have been a good buy, too, but we simply couldn't compete with United for those two. The buys we did make would've been fine if they were about half of what we paid for them. Henderson 7 or 8, Downing 10 or 11, Carroll 15m or so, etc.
It's our negotiations that are failing us the most, I think, which is probably Comolli's biggest failing.
Adam is our one signing this year that I wouldn't hesitate to sell. Everyone else is, at worst, bench quality. Especially because we'll be losing at least one of our older bench players, almost certainly Maxi Rodriguez.
I really hope we can get Txiki Begiristain. Cruyff was never going to happen, but this one could.

I guess you are right.
What's interesting is that we've had the options of bringing in a new striker. For example, for all the credit that Jelavic is Everton's new ice man, bullet in our hearts, or whatever else ESPN came up with yesterday, we could have had him without question in January:
So we could have had a prolific goal poacher for a very low fee, but we opted to continue pushing forward with the Carroll/Suarez partnership. The club quite clearly see something that the fans don't.

A big one. Lucas will sure up the middle to allow Gerarrrrrrrrrrd to play his usual role which is a bit more free.
And Salazar, you could get that! But there will be no room for a number
Lucas still holds the record for most tackles this season at Liverpool. I think that says it all.
Charlie Adam is number 2
Losing Lucas is what started our horrible run of form. It's hard to pick between Agger, Lucas and Suarez who our best player is, but for me Lucas is the one that should always be in every game for the full 90.
God damn look at the death grips on Suarez. He's a lot stronger than his stature would hint at.
i'm surprised they actually made it to the 3rd position. didnt expect that at all with that team. but still, once again no trophy for wenger.
Wenger made a mess of things this season in terms of transfer policy, but surely he must have learned his lesson?
Third was a miracle,We don't have a strong enough squad even without injuries.
And don't remind me about trophies... I don't see that changing anytime soon.
Edit: I'd like to think so Mastadon but you just don't know what happens behind the scenes.
