I feel violated trying to find this topic
Oh come on. Now that they removed the ugly subforum thing at the top of OT, and made the tabs smaller, it isn't that bad.

It is on a phone.
Anyway I vote for getting rid of all cups and replacing with championship belts!
And screw the wrestling haters

That's because ckohler hasn't tweaked the mobile app until he knows what's going on definitely with the changes. Patience.

I assumed that is what everyone used?
Thanks.
So they're pretty serious about the changes in the youth system eh? Good I guess, I hope they don't ruin it... obviously we don't have the best youth system, but hell Schweini, Mueller, Lahm, Badstuber are very good results.
I hope they don't make the youth system worse with all the changes...
Last time I glanced at the thread I think the guy said he was waiting for the community sections to be set in stone before committing to updating the app.

Best thing to do now is to subscribe and use the subscriptions folder whenever you want to access this thread.
Yea, I'm subscribed. Just wondering, its hard to navigate even with the subscriptions right now.

It's not hard. Click on the OT Community tab. So simple!
Is it bad that this kinda turns me on?
It's not even a fight, it's a straight up beating. So yes. WEIRDO.
Women properly fighting is horrible... much worse than watching 2 blokes go at it.
She looked too quick for Scholes to catch
Wrestling is for people with no brain.
We're Newcastle fans. Who said we had brains?

Man, next month is going to be such an incredible month for football.
Good article here on contrasting play styles
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/...-stoke-city?commentpage=all#start-of-comments
Personally I agree; watching Bilbao the other day, of course Barca are a better side but they're not as exciting to watch as Bilbao are, or personally I even think Madrid are a more entertaining side to watch.
And then Norwich, who play a lot of long balls forward, never seem to have a lot of turgid displays because they get it forward with pace and it's pretty exciting, same with O'Neill's Sunderland. And I've said before I prefer 2008/09 Barca to now's.
I like Stoke. Except for when they play us.
EDIT: Although that's a lie, Stoke don't just play long ball; they're cheating, dirty, rough bastards. I hate Stoke. I just don't agree with the long ball sucks argument

I don't mind Stoke when they have the ball in play. The have a direct, no-nonsense style and a good shape. It's when they don't have the ball or they are taking a set play that they become utter twats.
They played well at times against City the other day along the ground, and yeah when they have the ball they're pretty exciting to watch if they can get it out onto the flanks quickly. But like you say it's specifically set plays and their rough tactics. Sometimes they'll pull a brilliant defensive masterclass out their arse but it's not as often as it used to be.

Stan Petrov 8(
Its amazing he has been playing as well as he has given he has leukemia.
I hope he can get as well as possible and stay with the club in a coaching role, he was looking at that as a career path anyway and he has always been a very intelligent man.
Wait what? Hope the guy gets well.

I believe he will. But I don't have anything to go on. He is going to be appointed player-manager after he is cured, and go on to win us the Champions League as a manager.
Also, Gabby Agbonlahor is being linked to Martin O'Neil and Sunderland. While it isn't necessarily a bad move for either party, I'd be worried that this is the start of the same cycle.

Spanish clubs have agreed a deal in which they pay just 10% of the 750m that they owe to the state in the week that the Spanish gov have announced multi billion Euro cuts. Madness.
Spanish football is in terrible terrible financial health, much worse than even the UK. Needs to be addressed soon.
Back on the pitch KAGAWA scores again. Man I think I'll have to get a shirt with him on the back next season. Hopefully it's a United one =)

Oh wow Petrov. That's horrible..
Love it! Hopefully we get a great game like the one in San Paolo!
Haha one goal from Estigarribia is way better than TWO from Pandev!

10% in one lump sum?! And that's it?! Fucking hell that's ridiculous, I can't believe that.
As a spanish person, that's fucking bullshit.
As someone that follows a team in La Liga that is fucking bullshit, punishing the teams that do it right, and letting the crooks of the fucking hook..
As a person of the world.. is Spain, did anyone expect different?
Edit: looking at the papers it seems the 10% is a one time amnesty to get cash in for all tax irregularities, not just football clubs.
Hopefully he'll stay in Dortmund. They are trying to extend his contract (from 2013 to 2016) by doubling his salary (1,5m to 3m a year). Personally I'd say he deserves more than that but the average salary for a Dortmund player is just around 2m .
Give him 5 Fergie!

Kuba makes it 2-0. Dortmund should take the points now. Will be their 16th win in 17 games. Relentless run of form.
Yeah I am torn about Gabby. he is real Claret & Blue, on the other hand I think he would thrive at Sunderland as they play counter attacking more which we dont.
Hmmm.
Have you guys seen the new Nike commercial? It is about the new
boots (Mercurial Vapor VIII)

Yeah this is cool. Ronaldo is a big tennis fan, pretty sure Nadal is a RM fan also right?
I do like Nadal but I'm #TeamRoger
