I'm seriously sick of international break. Can't they put together all the international matches in a single month each year?

spurs lol

HUGO LLORIS admitted he is planning clear-the-air talks with Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas — despite not yet playing for the club.
The French keeper, who signed for £8million from Lyon, is angry that Villas-Boas claimed Brad Friedel was his No 1.

what a pointless dilemma to have. no shit you're not going to be thrown out into the fray immediately; anyways, probably going to see Friedel play in the Europa League/domestic cups while Lloris takes the league. Everyone's happy.

It will be interesting to see if AVB will treat the Europa league with the same non interest that Redknapp showed the cup.

I would like to see Lloris playing because I feel he is the better keeper. He is in for a learning curve no matter when he plays.

I think he will; he has to at least take it seriously. AVB has a big squad, and frankly winning the Europa league is basically the only impressive thing on his resume. Given the league is out of reach, I think the Europa League is a very achievable prospect and could be enough to save his job if Spurs miss top 4 this year (especially with Chelsea's resurgence and no Modric). FA cup... no one gives a shit if you win it. I mean, it's great and it's certainly better than the League/Carling/Capital One/whatever cup, but a European title would represent ambition and progress for a club like Spurs. Which is good.
 
I come back home to see Salvadora was banned. RIP. But you know what they say, ̶̶h̶i̶p̶s̶ pics don't lie. NSFW, indeed.

yeah I was at work so I couldnt check that thread too much. You just know with a thread like that that the ban hammer looms large.
 
Besides the regular national team games I like watching the u-21 team play in the international break too. Less stressful and you get to see the upcoming talent in action.

Si me preguntas Chile es un equipo muy sobrevalorado.

I know but they can score and we defend like shit some times. Our keeper is great though but he wasnt tested against uruguay. I mean we lost to ecuador in july and it took a miracle to beat peru. I havnt seen chile after bielsa so I dont know if they still play that crazy kamikaze style

This thread derailment escalated quickly but I have some nice memories of that thread.
That redhead Czech actress is one fantastic curvy angel.

I saw after it happened. I don't know what he was thinking, though it was rather amusing how all-in he went on it.

He knows that the Arsenal bubble will burst and he didn't want to be on GAF when it happens.

lol at the Guardian: "James Milner's hard graft may become England's trump card".

Do me a favour.

Chile suffers from the same thing every Bielsa team has ever suffered: predictability and lack of pause. They are a team that continues to ride on the swing of the Bielsa oomph, but look incredibly frail at the back. Plus their off-the-pitch squabbles make for a lack of cohesion that betrays them at important times.

P.S. We should have a Spanish thread like that German thread in OT, but I'm too lazy to make it.
