Zlatan: "I'm a living legend'

Yesterday, Ibrahimovic left his mark in the Walk of Fame in Swedbank Stadion, Malmö, his birthplace. And reacted with his traditional lack of modesty.
'It's a big honour. It means I did something during my career. Normally, people say you can't become a legend before you die, but I am a living legend. At least in Malmö.'

:lol

 

[Messi]

I wanna buy the new Porto kit, any of you guys used sportsdirect to buy kits?

 

[Broder Salsa]

Not sure if being a legend in Malmø is something to be that proud of.

There are reports Fiorentina are introducing an ‘anti-Juventus’ clause into Stevan Jovetic’s new contract to bar him from moving to Turin.

The two clubs were already in talks for the Montenegro international this summer, but the Viola rejected a bid thought to be worth €25m.

The rapport between the sides has always been tense, but the situation exploded in the last days of the transfer session over Dimitar Berbatov.

Fiorentina publicly accused Juve of acting unprofessionally by intercepting a done deal with the Manchester United striker, but the Bianconeri insist they only approached him after being told Berbatov had turned down the move.

According to the Corriere dello Sport, Fiorentina are not going to let that ‘snub’ pass and will try to include a clause in Jovetic’s contract ensuring he won’t end up in Turin.

This would bar Jo-Jo from joining Juventus even if they were to pay the €40m buy-out clause.

---------- + ---------- + -----------

The inferiority complex is strong in this one. Never change, Viola, never change. Un solo grido, un solo allarme, Firenze in fiamme, Firenze in fiammeeee!

I bought an England shirt off them before.

Someone should fire Macron after designing this seasons Napoli kit

Edit: Rio Vista?

David Villa could only dream of being a legend in Malmø.

Why did you buy an England kit? I thought you were Irish :lol

 

[Yurt]

Lol Ibra, that's quite sad.

They're assuming Jovetic is stupid enough to sign a contract without reading it. His agent, and hopefully the player himself

with Vucinic in his ear

won't allow this to happen.

Northern Ireland. So some of us support our English overlords.

Messi, your taste in women is impeccable and seems very in line with my own.

 

[Sviatoslav]

I can't blame you after watching Russia play Northern Ireland. They were pitiful.

 

[Salvadora]

I pretend Northern Ireland doesn't have a national team. It's worked out well so far.

We're utter shite. But god loves a trier. At least England offer us some

glory.

I don't even watch our games any more.

Edit: As if commentary from Jackie Fullerton wasn't enough to put us off our own games already.

Fair enough. Watching Northern Ireland must be dire :lol

Da fuck?

It was a question? haha

 

[Arnie]

All this FM talk has me wet. I'm going to take a lower league club to win the European Cup. I'll select Liverpool

That doesn't even make sense.

 

[Fry]

That doesn't even make sense.

He should just take Arsenal to try giving them their first European Cup ever!

 

[Wilbur]

That doesn't even make sense.

It will in FM2014 lolololololololol

At the pub and everyone's left me with the coats to go smoke. What should I do with their drink, guys? Dick dip?

 

[PrematureQuiche]

If the new Football Manager games network mode actually works, how hard would it be to have a Gaf network game going? I could see that being fun if we only played at certain times.

 

[José Mourinho]

I've always hated FM games. But what I hate more, is when people try and base their argument of how good a player is on FM ratings. Gets right on my pubes.

It took us an hour just to play one game last time we tried it. The problem is some people take ages to tweak their squads and prepare their teams, respond to messages etc.

Don't clubs do it though??

 

[Clegg]

Fellaini is a good player irl but he's vastly overrated in FM.

With time limits and a set day to play it might be alright :lol

Just joined Chelsea from Madrid on my one

Now that truly would be an absurd case of Football Manager bullshit.

My parents were once in a hotel bar in Belfast (can't remember which) but the news was on in the corner and Jackie Fullteron was giving a report via phone. "Yes, I'm in Tel Aviv and Northern Ireland are holding on for dear life etc." But my parents turned round to the lobby and saw Fullerton standing there using a hotel phone, pint in hand.

 

[José Mourinho]

Don't clubs do it though??

I would doubt it and very much hope not.

Everton use it as a scouting tool, I think.

I believe they use the (real life) scouts that compile the player reports for the game.

Oh, must have misinterpreted then.

 

[José Mourinho]

Oh, must have misinterpreted then.

Also, don't a lot of these games use fan feedback for smaller teams or something?

I remember reading something about this from EA. Like they have a bunch of fans who effectively scout the younger players of teams and smaller clubs as a whole. Then they cross reference the information and draw up numbers.

 

[Kyoufu]

Who has higher stats in FM2012, Krul or Reina?

Most of FIFA's ratings are wank haha, shit job fans.

PES is awful as well. Xavi and Iniesta 97, Fabregas 95... Busquets 83.

Jordi Alba 77... Adriano 87.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Reina obviously!

He's one of the best keepers in the game.

 

[Fry]

Fifa ratings are 8 out of 10 times spot on.

 

[Kyoufu]

Reina obviously!

So they do listen to fan* feedback

Spoiler

[Clegg]

Javier Saviola was a god in Championship Manager.

 

[Kyoufu]

Also I wonder if there is any bias with the FM developers and teams they support. Like if a certain club looks stronger than they really are?

Haven't you seen FIFA 13 ratings? Krul 94, Reina 56

It is, apart from when we beat Spain and England a long time ago now...

Haven't seen a Fady post in a while though, international break/afer dark football-GAF scared him away I believe.
