Never heard of it, prolly too Indie for my ears
Shitty band name as well.
Dropped by their label before their album came out, having been heralded as the next best thing by indie sites. You wouldn't know this because you are not totes indie, like me.

Someone in the Euro thread just referred to Gareth Bale as a chronic diver, in the same breath as Ronaldo and Robben.
My job is complete. Adios football GAF.
That was me btw.
And are you saying he doesn´t dive frequently? Maybe you have been watching a different kind of Spurs.

There is nothing on L'Equipe's website to suggest this...?
Confirmed and I am crying manly tears.

No, I agree with you. I think he's a diving little tit, and I've been propagating that gif for what seems like eternity. It seems to be catching on.
Smashing talent though. Just a shame his heart is evil to the core.
RE England team selection: Good luck in the knockout stages, should we get there. Can just visualise having to play Henderson in the Semi Final, him putting in an average performance and the entire nation getting on his back because, lo and behold, he isn't Steven Gerrard.

I think most people in here recognize him as a chronic diver. But we also recognize that pretty much every team has one (or a few, in Barça's case).
Yeah, his high work rate results in a higher rate of sucking. Never should be a starter for England.
He's like a much shitter version of Dirk Kuyt, without the goal and assists.

Is Hodgson secretly being helped by Daglish? Carroll plays well so he is benched? Welbeck plays like crap besides the lucky goal but he starts?
Oh okay. Judging by that indepth article, I'd say it's a cert that one, if not both join Utd.
Agree, don't see the hate for him really. Walcott's great when you're chasing a game and need a burst of pace in the last 20 minutes, but Milner's a willing worker for the first half of a game at least where you're trying to feel your way in and establish control. As Yenrot says, he's definitely reminiscent of Kuyt, albeit without as much of a goal threat.
It's Ashley Young that everyone should be directing their confusion towards, who's been fucking shite in both games so far.
I think it's a shame for Carroll, who did well, but I don't agree with your assertions about Welbeck. I think he's been excellent so far.
Cavani has been my #1 target for awhile although I'd love Llorente too since he has the height we'd need if we offload Dzeko. Hopefully we can get Napoli to come to terms on a reasonable price.. the fact that Mancini has been a fan of his for many years certainly makes me think he'd be more invested (literally and figuratively) in making a run at him than the other targets.
I, for one, am glad Milner is starting.
Do you really want Glen Johnson covered by Walcott? Milner does little things well and puts in the work rate. Something that went completely unnoticed was that he chased down the Swedish full back right in the corner of the pitch who then had to rush his clearance which went to Gerrard before he did that cross.
Walcott had to miss a day's training too. Bring him on in the second half and scare the hell out of them. Your a defender who has been running around for 60 minutes. The last person you want to see coming on, fresh as a daisy and with confidence, is Walcott.

That´s the problem, we overlook these kinds of behaviors when they come from our team.
Ask any ManU fan about Rooney and he will say that hes a true grit kinda guy, but he still goes to ground very cynically, same for Ronaldo, Robben, Bale, Silva, and many others.
You know what leaves me livid? when a player is clear on goal and goes down trying for the penalty instead of getting a shot off.
Anyways, im betting on England and France getting trough, should make for a pretty strong field of contenders in the quarters.
I don't have a problem with Milner starting. He might not be anything special but he does a job, had a few nice crosses against Sweden and did some dirty work. Young has been far worse and bordered on invisible against Sweden and France. He did nothing in either half of the pitch.
'Le Croate, lui, est lié à Tottenham jusqu'en 2016. Agé de 26 ans, il est évalué à au moins 30 millions d'euros.'
hahahaha
Berba was £30m in 2008. If you want Modric prepare to get your wallet emptied.
Its obviously bullshit.
L'Equipe are just rounding up the rumours that have been circulating over the last few weeks.
Loyal youth product: Diego Contento extends stay at Bayern

Nope, we've had the World Cup too
Also known as the vuvuzela OT.
EDIT: You could say Diego is Contento csi.gif
Is he going ginger or just unfortunate lighting?
I agree, but I'd like to clarify that Milner is deputising for Johnson's attacking play, not any major deficiency in the defensive side of his game. Johnson's been one of our best performers so far, I'd say.

Yup my bad, it's Young I'm thinking about that was really crap. Welbeck didn't play up to his standard against Sweden though but it wasn't crap.
Didn´t he get some kind of hair implants a few months back?
Edit: Dunno why Carroll isn´t getting more praise for his goal. That was a fucking beautiful header, perfect in every way.
Remember he was bald? hair plugs are a paper-over-the-cracks measure, they aren't going to look perfect while wind blown in a picture with the sharpness increased drastically to highlight his features in an unflattering light.
Dear god I'm defending Wayne Rooney. A sign that it's past my bedtime.((

Ginger infestation!
Of course it must be lighting. Unless everyone are ginger on this picture.

Man should be proud of his baldness.
See? i´m perfectly proud there.
Yeah, but it's starting to thin out.
Last December:
Now:
Lighting conditions, hair length and product, camera, humidity, surroundings, did he blowdry his hair or towel dry it?.... All these things matter. I don't think it's actually thinning out. He's just having a bad (normal) hair day.
That picture cracks me up every time.
YENROT, YOU GOT THAT CHICKEN OUT?!

I had a friend like this. Had.
No, lol. The black women agree, Terry is no racist!

Well there's a black dude there too, so clearly not a racist meeting.
I had grilled salmon and mash the other day, now that's bland.
Raphael Honigstein perpetuating the idea that Pep is interested in Bayern. As long as he doesn't go to Chelsea I'll be content.
