Given time he will get them playing. I'm sure of it.

I may have to check it out then Fady!! Are you still playing Prince of Persia?

@Dc :) You should, it was a pleasant surprise! Yes, I'm nearing the end of Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones. Never got around playing it until now. Have you ever played the series?

It'll be exciting for Chelsea fans to see how AVB does at White Heart Lane. He better not work his high line mentality onto the club and dent their chances though. That stuff sucks.

I'm not sure of anything in that regard. Some of the mistakes he made at Chelsea weren't time related, they were just fucking stupid.

Bobby Charlton
Bobby Moore
Steven Gerrard (yes)
Ashley Cole
Rio Ferdinand
Paul Scholes
John Terry (yes)
Tom Cleverly
Glen Hoddle
Matt le Tissier
Alan Shearer
Robbie Fowler (debatable)

And that's before we even get started on the Tom Finneys, and I'm sure I've missed a fair few from the more modern era.

Yeah! Prince of Persia games are usually quality I loved the art in the cel shades one!

OH GOD! I didn't know it meant ever! Well no, he's not.

Cleverley shouldn't be on that list yet. He's not proven enough.

Colin Bell is another quality English player.

Thanks for the info Fady and dc (or, well, lack of info :p)

Would be interesting if Chelsea managed to get Hulk. Wonder where that would leave Torres.

Yeah! Tricky. Now Drogba has gone he should play more.

Torres is a confidence player it seems, at least he's become one since joining Chelsea, he needs a run of games and he needs to play even if he is playing poorly

If AVB looked like Dirk Kuyt and originated from Belgium theres no way he'd have been afforded the Spurs job after how he handled things at Chelsea.

Torres should just do the sensible thing and come back to Liverpool. If any manager can build a system to benefit him, like Rafa did, it's Rodgers in my opinion.

I just found out about this Norwegian band, Motorpsycho. They've been keeping me awake way too long right now.

Yeah, they are great and really popular in Norway. However, they are quite unknown outside Norway. While you are at it, check out Span and Turbonegro. They are amazing.

He should come to Newcastle. A club with passion. He'll score goals like he did in his Liverpool days.

Twitter says Spurs have had their bid accepted for Lewadowski.

Fucking London clubs buying their way to the top... /bitter

I think he needs a player like Gerrard behind him, who will feed him balls and draw away opposition players. He will never have the pace he had back in his glory days at Liverpool, but he's still an excellent poacher and knows how to handle the ball.

Maybe Mata could be that player, now that Chelsea have gotten new wingers in Hazard and Marin.

Hello everyone, i just got my account validated yesterday. I still don't understand why Wenger didn't go after Vertonghen. He can play LB and CB spots both places effectively and that is where we need strengthening. Hopefully, Arsenal signs a DM or a CB before the transfer window is over and do that rvp + cash deal for Villa would be amazing. Also, First time seeing Juve fans in an english forum. Most of the forums, I go to are filled with EPL and Barca/Madrid fans. It's nice to see some serie A people for once, but too bad i'm a Torino fan. FORZA TORO!!
Click to expand...

A Toro fan?! Damn, you must be close to retirement age! Joking, joking. :p Welcome! Finally a potential nemesis for us Juve fans? TheLucifer is too much of a gentleman, while Inter fans are nowhere to be seen. Truth be told I'm actually glad the Granata finally made it back to Serie A, I really miss the derby. Hopefully you guys will be able to get together a decent squad and avoid relegation. We need those 6 easy points from you. :D

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Obligatory Maresca welcome photo:

Yeah the ball has to be threaded to him, he's best running on to the ball. Chelsea have Mata who can do that, but if he had a bad game it resulted in Torres having a bad game.

Be interesting to see how Torres and Hazard play.

Go away. You're only getting one of them and he's the old injury prone one with a single good season under his belt.

While waiting for Federer to continue his victory, one should listen to Baroness' new record.



This is my devil's post (666) :p

Sorry. I am enjoying the new Kreator Album (Phantom Antichrist) to bother with anything else that is Metal these days. Soo Good!

:p

Also, Sludge Metal isn't My stuff. Give me a good Death, Thrash or MeloDeath and I am bloody there Day 1.

I'm sorry too, I'm far from a metalhead and this new Baroness record is anything except metal :p

Some hardcore Baroness fans expected the band to lose many fans but gain a bunch new ones too (like me).

I just pulled the trigger on a Samsung Galaxy S3. Essentially a free phone thanks to Balotelli and Van Gaal.

Slizz if you're around, how you getting on with it?
