I've luckily never broken a bone, but damn if the back doesn't sound like the worst case. Hope you can manage to stay comfortable while you recover.

Me neither. Are we lucky or we just don't live life dangerously?
Since Tiote came on, the entire play has changed for Newcastle. Looking much more convincing. Though it helps folks like Ryan Taylor also came on for more experience and stability.
Also, surprisingly, Obertan seems to work better up front. His pace is scaring the shit out of everyone. Gotta go fast seems to work in this position!
Edit: Fucker scuffed a one-on-one. Still, his pace got him in to that position. Bit more work and this could be something special. At least we don't have to witness his shitty decision making on the wings. Playing as a striker is straight run-and-place. That's all I'd want from him.

Allergic to morphine/codeine despite its obvious qualities. Diazepam was my drug of choice. Stopped my spasms.
Shiiiit. Hope you're alright, Yenrot. No permanent damage, I hope? Home after 6 days, well, no, I suppose not.
Never felt pain like it on tuesday/wednesday, and that's saying something as I have had ribs broken before. It should be a fairly minor fracture if I'm out this soon, I guess. The cast will stop further damage. Originally I thought I'd need surgery which would've meant strapping me to a board for 3 weeks, along with all the pain surgery brings.

Thanks for the well wishes all. A summer of lying on the sofa watching movies and tv awaits. Still going to England next week though! Risky!

Anyone from Mexico watching the Liga MX opening presentation? It looks so fake.
As long as he can get in those positions, which he is fast enough to do on a regular basis, that would be all I'd want. Needs to work on his finishing big time though. I'd rather him play as a CF than a winger though.
I wouldn't want anything else.
WTF Tiote. Though :lol at Monaco for not hitting the ball and trying to walk it in.

Sky Sports News understands Chelsea have agreed a £25m deal in principle to sign Brazil international Oscar.

It's bad that I now have to double check if it says Sporks every time someone posts SSN as a source. Poor AVB... Actually nah.
Mancini's Dad, Aldo.
He was in hospital last year and it looked really bad. But he got better and he came to a few of the important games, United & QPR to name two.
Now he's pretty much always watching training or traveling with the squad.
So nice to see Mancini and his pops together in a day such as that. Mancini looks so loveable when he's not angry.
You know what we need more of this stuff! I only hear Bayern fans with this stuff.
CHELSEAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOONAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Lol, what a photo.
The same thing happens to me btw, I keep having to check if its Sporks lol! One of our fellow posters once got mixed up and did the opposite - posted a Sporks article that he thought was Sports
I won't believe it still. Tomorrow we'll hear more news about how Oscar did not even receive a bid in the first place

December will make fifteen years of not winning a trophy for Cruz Azul. I'm not optimistic for them.

Weren't they just bringing quotes from the agent saying he didn't think Chelsea would agree with the club? Hardly the journalists fault if Chelsea just decided to pay up.

And 7 Real Madrid players.
Who will win it? Messi. Why? Who knows.

Probably because he scored 70 goals.
Terrible.

Fuck it, He already owns 3 Ballons D'Or.
Give it to a Euro Champ like Mata or Torres, who have won CL and Euro 2012.
Man, if Torres wins it this thread is going to be glorious.

UEFA at least pretend you watch Serie A
He reminds me of Matri. Decent with the ball at his feet, quick on the turn, confident enough to take an extra touch to put himself in a better position. Loan him out to another Serie B team and see if he repeats his form.
And, yeah, Immobile is wonderful but it'll take a year or two for him to turn into the type of striker we need. We'll have to give him the opportunity to play in Serie A, however. Either us (less likely) or with a minnow, but he needs to play regularly in a top league. Hope Verratti learns that, too, as he's going to either rot on the bench or he needs to be loaned out.
Welsh player of the year? A Welsh journalist nominated him.
Nah fuck them, they don't deserve it on individual merit.

Torres doesn't, but Mata? He's been Chelsea's best player along with Drogba.
IMO, the real one who deserves it is Casillas, but we already know how popularity contests treat keepers.
A lot of the players nominated for these awards are always players who had a few good games at international tournaments.
The award itself is silly, would prefer just having a UEFA best XI.
Oh, never heard of him, time to check dem YouTube clips (if there are any
)

A few good matches can't be enough to be on that list.
Coentrao over Busquets or Alba?
:lol

Torres, fine. Can't say much about Lampard, either.
But Balotelli won the English league, got into the Euro final and played amazingly, and Coentrao had an amazing Euro and played admirably for Real Madrid.
I guess playing for a team that gets more of the spotlight probably helps as well.
I agree about Busquets it's really strange how he gets overlooked by pundits, the media and average fan. Very similar to how Makelele was constantly overlooked.
Coeantrao wasn't even a regular for Real in the league, he didn't even play a specific position. He was mediocre domestically and a good EUROs doesn't make up for that. Same for Balotelli. He stamped on a player's head and was banned, was sent off multiple times and while he scored a few goals it was nothing more than you would expect from a £20m striker. To say he's worthy of consideration for the 'Best Player in Europe' award is a joke.

I either want this to happen now, or for it to end, and us to move on. Hulk and Maicon (or another RB) should be our focus.
new cruz shirt looks nice. u think they will suck less than last year this time?
Kit looks clean. More pics here: http://imgur.com/a/nG0l3
Wow at Coentrao at that list. He was shit for Madrid, only had few decent games there. Great for Portugal though so I guess that's the reason?
Speaking of that... How does he look so good for Portugal and so mediocre for Madrid? Same for Khedira I guess. Weird. It's usually the other way around (like Messi and Ronaldo being better in their club teams versus their national teams).

6 City Players.
1 United Player.
6-1. Now that's familiar...
Kagawa doesn't count.

And yet it took you into extra time of the last day to secure the league.
Bahaha, well played dc. You'll get some shit from the Man U fans, but that was clever.
Also, I'm surprised you didn't select this one of Kun to post. It's hilarious!
Haha nice.
