I don't like to tell but I had to pm a mod about that post especially due to the Events the day after London got the Olympics which I presume he was alluding to

Made me rage and slip into mod mode ha

 

[Salvadora]

Just read that NBC skipped the 7/7 tribute. Pretty disgusting in my opinion.

 

[Broder Salsa]

I don't even know anymore.. You guys..

Jeff Gerstmann got a haircut and Ryan Davis shouldn't smoke, right you guys?

You think this thread is getting nasty and you bring in Ryan and Jeff of all people?

He has punched me in the balls twice.

I am lying on the floor writhing in pain while he is laughing his head while farting and groaning at the same time. Its making me sick

Sounds like good brotherly games to me.

yeah. you can just imagine the reaction if the shoe was on the other foot and we skipped a 9/11 memorial for some bullshit interview.

The hell... I want one!

Exactly. Just reading reactions such as this makes my blood boil.

Oh, that. Yeah I wouldn't expect most Americans to remember that. Probably why they skipped the memorial.

No idea what you are referring to, is it another football GAFer?

You can't look much more youthful imo.

What did NBC do?

 

[Clegg]

What did NBC do?

Cut to an interview with Michael Phelps instead of showing the memorial to the London bombings.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

What did NBC do?

Cut the entire section of the ceremony that was a tribute to the victims of the 7/7 London bombings

Dick move

Lesson 3: Never buy Brazilians. No matter how talented and proven they're, they never make it with us. A well documented curse. You hear that Damião?

Although to be honest, he's probably the least 'brazilian' brazilian player I've ever seen. Speaking of the past, Nene' was pretty good, as was Altafini. But yeah, we're not particulary lucky with the Carioca.

I honestly had a tiny amount in a crystal glass, and even then I took about 5 or 6 sips to get it all down. It's like a £100 bottle that he keeps tucked away in a cupboard, and whilst he's away I thought I may as well have a go. The logic being that anything as expensive as that has to be good, right?

Tasted like pure death.

Just had a glass of semi skimmed to calm my body down.

Aren't you like 14 though? No one likes alcohol at 14.

Fun article about the Olympic village. Hope solo has some choice quotes:

Some ITK on RAWK saying Andy Carroll is staying at Liverpool. I don't really care either way. I hope he takes his chance.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Our development squad got smacked 5-0 by Middlesbrough. Fryers played left back. He's officially ours it seems.

Looking forward to Spurs vs Liverpool today, even though we don't have any strikers and are definitely going to lose!

 

[Salazar]

Hoping for a crushing Spurs victory. Sufficiently thumping for Carragher to feel the need to come out and talk about how everyone feels like this is a title challenging Liverpool side.

Gerrard: "I do think we will win the title get in the top four. I think we will get it. I am confident we will get it."

Seriously though, they should win this one easily.

 

[Meier]

Gerrard is obviously just doing his duty but I can't see any realistic scenario where LFC finishes higher than 6th. 5th seems their absolute best case scenario.

 

[Zabojnik]

Hertha Berlin - Juventus later today (15h15min CET, Berlin).

JUVE: Storari, Leali, Branescu; De Ceglie, Lichtsteiner, Lucio, Masi, Rugani, Untersee, Pazienza, Appelt, Bouy, Vidal, Padoin, Marrone, Asamoah, Krasic; Matri, Quagliarella, Boakye

I'm expecting some experimenting, will watch primarily for Masi. We're likely to lose Bonocci, so we'll need another CB. He could be it, if he continues to impress.

It's hard to say. Who would have predicted how good Newcastle performed last season? If we can sort out our scoring issues, then we can realistically push for fourth. I think people forget how well we played at times last season, and how much our shitty conversion rate hurt us. We were abject in the second half of the season, but I think our heads dropped and we made a decision to focus more on the cups.

I personally think we'll get 5th or 6th, but I honestly don't think a top four finish is impossible. As long as we're pushing for 4th towards the end of the season, I'll be happy.

Maybe a bit. But when Gerrard talks about it in "deserve" terms, it's exceptionally difficult to take him even a tiny bit seriously. Not that I'm ever really capable of extending pre-season gibber any credit whatsoever.

It was a pragmatic statement. He has to give the likes of Skrtel and Suarez a reason to stay here another year. Rodgers and Henry have already intimated that top 4 isn't necessarily a requirement for this campaign, and I imagine that that doesn't sit particularly well with our more ambitious

Like Jesus.

Edit:

Who says Adam Morgan doesn't have the technical ability to succeed?

Kill me. Kill me now.

maybe if he didn't beat up his team mate (riera) @ GS, he would have stayed there

We've brought a much better squad with us than Liverpool. They've got way too many kids and unwanted flops and they don't have many strikers either. Outside the back 4 their teams on this tour have been very poor.

Hopefully Gylfi scores.

 

[Arnie]

Aren't you like 14 though? No one likes alcohol at 14.

15 and a half, actually.

Seriously though, they should win this one easily.

We've only really got one striker, and they've only been training for a few days. In fact I'd probably rather start without a striker than play Nathan Ecclestone.

Lad from my indoor league seems to have passed away yesterday. Early twenties. Fit enough to push the ball one side of me and go the other. Which isn't saying much, but christ.

Horrible. Any idea what happened to him?

Nope. Nothing obviously up about a week ago, then a message yesterday that he was struggling, and today he's gone. Didn't know him that well, but you don't need to in order to feel it like a gut-punch.

Edit: Just asked around. Heart attack in bed. Got him on life support but they decided to switch it off yesterday.

No doubt. Going to take a break from indoor now? Don't think I could go back if that happened to someone in my league.

Well they do have a fantastic record with Spanish wingers.

I don't know if someone already posted this, but Shevchenko left football today. He'll get into politics: I remember that a few years ago he was somehow influential in Ucraine.

So many memories, so many goals (Juve-GAF will remember 2003, I guess ), so many trophies. Too bad that he had to leave with an incredibly stupid excuse.

I was going to try and write a clever response but I got nothing - but an explanation would be nice.

Vela is Mexican, and is a striker, not a winger, no?

 

[Freewheelin']

Reyes was actually pretty good for us. Until he started being a fucking baby and said he was homesick even though his mum and his brother were living with him. He also said that there were some bad people at Arsenal.

Glad to hear we might have upped our bid for Cazorla, think he would be our record signing.
