What new fighting game?
I'm glad you admitted that about Redcafe. I browsed it the other day, reading a thread about Ballack's retirement. Saw a post expressing regret that his grandparents weren't bombed in WWII.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure All-Star Battle or something like that.

Fuuuuuck, looks crazy. Why was I not informed of this sooner? Also, fuck you Yurt, Parts 3 & 4 forever! <3
Collective punishment is always daft.
Yup. Mancini is guilty of this too in this respect. But Mancini did blast him, but he went back on that. Maybe that's worse?

I feel morally superior to Ashley Cole and JT. Damn right I do.
The underlying problem there however is that Chelsea as a club already went out on a limb backing Ashley Cole.
Di Matteo should have acknowledged that Cole made a mistake and said something stupid which he should not have said.

This is so true. Yesterday I tought I finally found someone who didn't quite because it was already 6-1 in my advantage, but after that sixth he decided to leave anyways
I am surprised Nasri isn't in that GIF. I thought he'd be a shoe in to you guys.
My god this is horrible. But I don't blame him, I would've done the same if I played for Inter.

That's a legitimate minor criticism imo (if it applies to him)
The 'twat' gif is amazing. Dunno what Suarez is doing in there, but still.
If Man City kill my accumulators, heads will roll
@Mumei, is there any chance at all of having a betting thread, either for football or all betting? Understandable if its something Gaf doesn't really want associated with it
My word. This is horrendous.
Would betting GAF advise me to lump £20 on a Nasri hat trick today?
What would I get for that
So much of his passing is short, and so much of it central, that I don't really know where the space that he's supposed to be using exists. And the strength of his game isn't so much in the penetration of that passing (advanced playmaker Clev is acutely bogus) but the speed of it. Which isn't incompatible with intelligently weighted passing, but it doesn't lean hard towards it.
I agree that there are players who can tailor 90% of their passes to accommodate the potential and predicted movement of the receiver, but fuck. Xavi is an alien.

We're gonna lose to Newcastle.
Fergie will go with 2 in the middle, Cabaye and Tiote will eat them. Ben Arfa will play right side and absolutely destroy Evra. Papiss and Demba are good finishers so they will put their chances away.
Then it's a 2 week international break for us to mull over how much we suck.

That's fair, but if he's passing it to feet when the room is there to pass it in a way that creates more momentum, its something that could probably be coached into him. We have a coupleof players who only pass to feet, and I think its a mental issue. Spearing, Enrique, Carragher and Downing will only pass to feet, and I can only imagine its because they're so terrified of making mistakes they actively look to pass the buck onto the receiver, even if it means you're putting them into a situation where they're forced to fanny about with the ball before looking to do anything productive with it.
In fact, everything Downing does gives me that impression. He considers a shot to be good enough as long as its on target. A cross is great as long as it gets into the box at head height, even if there's nobody in there. A pass is fine as long as it touches the receiver. He isn't disappointed to come out of a game with no goals, assists or any productive play. He's disappointed when he's given the ball away a few times. Like the opposite of Nani
But so will we
Both teams come alive in the second half. Just gutted i'm at work during it.
Nah. We will be gash in the first half. We haven't had a good first half in the PL yet
Sounds more like a very bad experience for this one lad than something that is endemic to the entire academy of Inter - I mean, even though the dates are several years apart Inter did win the Next gen series last year, so the academy must be doing some things right.

You basically just described Allen. Clearly Rodgers & Kenny were barking up the wrong tree trying to turn Downing into a LB, when all along he is the replacement for Lucas Liverpool have been waiting for.

Anyone else find the anti-judgmental brigade increasingly irritating on here?
On here as in GAF or footy-gaf?
Can't speak for everyone but I personally am not irritated by this 'brigade'.
I view anti-judgmentalness as a good thing.
I reckon Fletcher will get a goal, City have presented chances to every team this season, and Fletcher isn't the kind of striker to not take advantage.

@sohois, recycling possession and maneuvring the ball into spaces from which to attack is pretty much Allen's job. If he was doing it as one of the front 3, that'd be a problem. And Allen makes the right move and pass 95% of the time, Downing makes the easiest one 99% of the time. I hope I never have to watch him and Enrique on the same wing again. Soul-destroying
Plus of course Allen's been playing as our most defensive midfielder for all but 1 match I think
Verratti- "I see Immobile and Insigne starting, it makes you think, that could be me at Juventus. But you don't make decisions based on 'if'. I am a fan of Juventus, a huge fan, and my idol is Del Piero."
Italian Verratti is in Paris and French Pogba is in Turin. Why?

Imagine if Andy Carroll's last name was Immobile. The fun we'd have...
Time to make Joe Allen on PES. Shouldn't be too hard, he couldn't look more generic

He needs to get the Ronaldo transfer done so he can pursue Messi and create the ultimate strikefore. And he still wouldn't win anything.
If his season with Messi is anything to go by, it's not possible. He wants to be the center of attention.
99% they will concede a goal. None of their defenders are playing well and their midfield lacks bite at the moment.
Its not like Sunderlands attack is that strong. I am expecting them to play boring park the bus like tactics to try and steal a draw.

Is anyone willing to make me some bets (UK members only)? PayPal suspended my account. Will explain that later
They whooped City for most of this fixture last season and were unlucky not to win. Adam Johnson, Larsson, Sessegnon, Fletcher, McClean, they have more than enough to trouble the City defense. I think City will win but Sunderland are certain to score IMO. City look vulnerable from every possible situation right now, from set plays, counter attacks, through balls, they just look all over the place.

Fucking loving Parks and Recreation at the moment, it's brilliant.
How do you think we'll go against west ham?
And I see Wenger is going to try Walcott as a striker. We really need his signature before doing that.
