Eh, it has always been around :/
I just upgraded my internet from 10mb to 150mb fiber broadband.
Ireland has 150mb? God damn. The power of trees.

Of yeah, but it certainly has taken two steps back over the past year or so.

Up in Tyrone, my DL speed is 100kb/s and BT say we won't ever get infinity.

Just been reading about the 2013 Anfield Run, announced yesterday.
Between April 4th to the 6th 2013, volunteers will run 96 miles starting on the pitch at Hillsborough and ending on the pitch at Anfield, at half time in the game against West Ham United. Last year the run raised £15,000 for the Hillsborough Justice Campaign and the Hillsborough Families Support Group, and this year the run will also be raising money for Alder Hay Childrens Hospital in Liverpool and the The Sheffield Children's Hospital. The run is being supported by both the HJC and HFSG, and by both Liverpool and Sheffield Wednesday, who are all working together to make the run possible.

I think this is a wonderful thing and thought would make a nice mention between all the talk of racism in the papers at the moment. A very nice example of the wider impact and importance of the football community in the face of numerous recent difficulties.

Newcastle don't need him, they have Anita!
I hear he's the bee's knees and starting to become a regular in the French squad. Has played in the team next to Cabaye a few times. He's supposedly been in contact with Cabaye too about a move.
If we do get him, he'll replace Tiote no doubt. Unless we cut our losses with Anita OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh
lol, I like Anita. Versatile and stuff.
I'm thinking Tiote will be sold for at least 20 million. Simpson is probably off in January too (he's waiting on a move before negotiating contract).
So we could possibly get 2 more French players in January...
As a Portsmouth fan, I'd be disappointed to see Adkins go. I don't see how recruiting a manager who used to be a striker is going to make your defense any better.

Can this guy pass? If yes he's already better than Tiote.
lol
Sissokho is a box-to-box midfielder... which means he's better than Tiote.
Sign him up.
Bring on the muppetry.
I'm watching Brazil vs. Japan Futsal. Pretty entertaining
We need a central defender and i'll be happy.

The thing is, its so excruciatingly obvious where the holes are. But then again, the same was true in the summer, and we somehow weakened the main area that was already weak, and we lost the two 'wingers' we had who had proven themselves capable of scoring a goal or two.
Did Suso play btw? Also, I hear that Joe Cole was a predictably dismal pile of shite. Feel bad for Pacheco. He should be ahead of Cole. Its a pointless endeavour putting Cole in the shop window, every time he plays he puts another club off of the prospect of signing him.

Pogba ...
Do it, Marotta. COVER HIM WITH MONEY! That way we'll get to keep him for at least a couple of years, before Mino does his thing again.
Money doesn't matter. It's all about loyalty. Ibra had no loyalty. Nedved had it in spades. One stayed, one left.
It doesn't sound to me from his statements like Pogba has any intention of being a Juve bandiera unlike Vidal who has publicly said that he'd be happy with Juve as his last team. Sounds like he's wanting to prove himself worthy and Serie A is a stepping stone. Possibly that's wise move if we don't pick ourselves up as a league. But, to be honest, I hope he realizes that even if we're unbeaten Serie A champions, that we're still on the rise and we haven't really accomplished anything. We still have a lot of work to do. But if he sticks around he can be part of something special. He can be bigger than Thuram and Davids for us and we can go on and win more than just Serie A.

I thought Bendtner has a perfectly decent game. Some decent touches, some decent runs, a decent shot or two. He's very inconsistent, though. He's constantly fading out. I wonder how much of that is form. In any case, he's played two matches in a row now which in Conte's heavy striker rotation means he's not playing against Inter.
Think Yurt was being a bit harsh about De Ceglie. He caused the goal, but Taider really had a killer shot. Anyway, he shouldn't have been given the room to shoot by our CBs.
So, who do we start against Merda?
For me, I think:
Buffon
Barzagli----Bonucci-----Chiellini
Licht-----Pogba-------Pirlo----Vidal-----Kwandwo
-------------------Vucigol---Matri--------------
Matri has historically done well against Inter, as has Vucinic so I'd start them. Going to need a physical presence against Inter's defenders, and as much as I like Giovinco for winning fouls around the box in zona di Pirlo I'd much prefer Vucinic's one touch and shoot style against Inter. If Marchisio is fit, he starts ahead of Vidal for the same reason as Matri and Vucinic.
Damn good in FIFA and FM! According to wiki, Spurs offered £15.5m for him in 2009 but the Toulouse wouldn't sell him.
Yeah fuck Wenger and not surrounding him with good players.
You talking shit about Gervinho?

They were good enough to help him to 32(?) goals last season...
The quote is hilarious though, he's not surprised cause at United he's surrounded with good players. What was he surrounded with at Arsenal then?
I think you've misinterpreted it.
Would have been easier to say "I'm not surprised, he scored 32(?) in all comps for us last year"
That isn't doublespeak so Arsene wouldn't say it.
:lol

Can't stand stuff like this. Similar to footballers who say they "deserve" to be paid more than what they're on (thousands a week already) "because they need to provide for their families when they're retired". Yeah, so does every other person, for most of who it would take years to earn what you earn in a single week.

Yeah it was. I didn't know driving at speed was not a crime in Germany though, or is that only on the autobahns?
Ticket is in Spain

It's a human tragedy this man isn't on Sky. Imagine listening to him commentating rather than Gary Neville.
In regards to the Arsenal - Man Utd game, Santos simply cannot play. He will be the single greatest threat to us, more so than any Utd player. This is how bad he is. It's like having Ronaldinho play left back. I would prefer a youth player to start there

Even if he's wasted all his money, there's no reason he wouldn't be able to make a living off Bundesliga analyst or trainer for some big football club

I know. I'm talking about driving at speed not being a crime in Germany.
Ah, yea. Lol maybe if he wasn't an international star he could plead ignorance to speeding.
