Thanks for the clarification.
I'm looking at a whirlwind Euro trip in Jan, how difficult is it to get tickets to games? I am thinking of going to an Emirates tour/Arsenal game and then doing a Contiki 2 week sex tour.
Oh, that was Marrone? Fantastic pass, that. He's been really, really solid as a CB, considering it's a new thing for him. I kind of wish Conte would use him as a midfielder, as he clearly has the vision and technique required, but in the end I'm just happy to see him getting any play-time. Forza Luca!
C'mon Urratia, let the Lion King go!
Can't wait for Bundesliga and Serie A to start. Finally I'll be able to watch Bundesliga on TV also! fuck GOLTV!
I'll watch the Bundesliga in High Definition for the first time. I really can't wait, too!
I'm even thinking about paying 8$ to have the HD pack on cable.
Do it!
I sure miss HD channels, they started as free channels for basic cable subscribers but a year later they found out they could start charging for it
idiots.Just read an interview with Asamoah. He has to be the nicest, humblest and most dedicated person in the football business. Just a great read about his family, religion and Ghana's problems as a developing nation. "When I'm down there I take the car, fill it up with food, clothes and toys and distribute it around. I really don't like to talk about it. It's just something I know I have to do."
The black Robin Hood.
You know, I was kind of hoping we would get Armero from Udinese and use him as a LM in rotation with De Ceglie, but seeing how fantastic Asamoah's been even when used slightly out of position ... fuck it, I want him on the pitch at all times!
----------- Vucinic - El Rey Leon ------------
Asamoah - Marchisio - Pirlo - Vidal - Isla
------- Chiellini - Bonucci - Barzagli --------
Dat midfield! The Asamoah + Isla deal will probably go down in history as one of the greatest ever. Can't wait to see Isla Bonita in action!
Excite!

This video is awesome. So many butchered chances, Arsenal, lol.

Indeed, in the Spanish league you will see more priority given to technique and ball skill. The pace is slower and it's much less physical than the Premier League.
It sounds good but I personally can only take it in small doses. Overall the games are quite static and really exciting box-to-box battles are rare. The team I like most is Atlético but their games are still snooze fests most of the time.
Barça are insane though. Their one touch passing is mesmerizing to watch. But watching a team win untested over and over again can be tedious, no matter how beautifully they do it.

Cerezo Osaka's U18 spent two days in Dortmund
Working on the new Shinji, I see.

Making almost 20 million Euros after 3 or so years of playing must be a good incentive. :lol

I love our board, our manager and our players. Berlusconi is still conviced that this team, this particular team, is acceptable. Allegri is apperently unable to speak and ask for reinforcements. Cassano, after having a team that decided to wait for him (TWICE) says "I miss Thiago and Ibra, let's go to Inter! ", regardless of what Milan did for him (nothing much, saved his ass, again, twice).
He really left me speechless. Milan did a lot for him, yet he decides to go to play in Europa League. I guess he loves to travel to completely unknow eastern Europe cities, to play against completely unknow teams. Whatever, he has become a Borriello and doesn't appear to have enough balls to stay and fight for something.
I think I'll enjoy this season, we can't get any lower, we've reached the bottom. Thank fuck Serie A is one of the worst championship of Europe, at least we can still reach the third place with this team, otherwise next summer could get ugly, for both supporters and the board.
Oh and I loved (LOVED) how Juve-GAF changed their avatars yesterday. Too bad I was busy watching Contraband (okay-ish movie, I guess), it looked like you guys had an epiphany.

Hey Football Gaf is there a Fantasy Premier mini-league to join in with this year? And if so, what's the code?
Would think so. He's been going on all pre-season about he couldn't wait to get back into the thick of things. Vidic also said he looked forward to partnering up with him again. Alas, it's not to be.

I think it is in the second post in the thread. Might have to quote it to see it
Good god, it's almost physically painful to watch the WBA game highlights. Those penalties were horrible calls... and Suarez, for fuck's sake. I really hope he's brought out wide and Borini takes his spot in the middle. We aren't going to get anywhere relying on him as our primary finisher. His chance creation is phenomenal. He'd be much better as a No. 10 IMO.
They said the same about Aguero. Doubted his ability to do it in the PL too. Said he'd struggle to adapt. I saw no sign of a struggle.
Talking about Aguero, I know it's not a patch on United's Facebook but some of the things on his post about his knee are funny.
I'm really hoping dc that you're not happy that Ferdinand might be out considering what with Aguero and all. Ferdinand's been wanting to play with Vidic again.
Why would I be happy about it?
Aguero's injury could ruin his and City's campaign not just in the league but also in Europe. The same applies with Rio & United. It's not something to be happy about.
When City beat United I don't want any excuses! I want to beat them at full strength.

You started Vucinic ahead of Giovinco.
Not amazing, just above average, IMO. Of those, only Dembele and Sandro are legitimate talents that would suit a CL team.

Why thank you sir!
How many top teams have more than two top class CMs? You have your two main men and a cast of useful supporting actors around them. Some teams only have one top CM, like City (Yaya), some teams don't have any (Chelsea). Players like Parker, Song, De Jong, Diarra, Barry, etc play for top teams and though they aren't world class, they do a fine job.
I think RVP will start on the bench.
If we offer Jol his darling Huddlestone + a bit of cash I bet we could get him.

One of them will - more likely Kagawa due to his international duties.
