The minus vs abload one was horrible. So was 'should bayern have a thread title' including elsk calling some of the English users assholes :lol :lol
Best looking one.
That wasn't a debate. It was a rule the english people established. 'Nothing Bayern related goes to the thread title.'
British assholes!

Diving is a major problem in the game. Players like Suarez and Bale dive every chance they get.
They need to deal with it differently though. It should be dealt with after the game through suspensions when players get caught doing it. Once players start getting suspended when they get caught diving, even after the game, they'll soon stop and clubs will start punishing their players to stamp it out of the sport.
Does anyone know where I can get enger's post match interview? I'm interested in finding his spin. He better not be blaming Arteta for the draw, it wasn't Arteta's fault.
I remember the stamp on Suarez when you played Stoke. Did they even bother to take action against that?

That's now become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I agree it is very difficult as the lines are very blurred.
I don't blame the officials at all though. At the moment they are being very harsh on "diving" and we're seeing players getting booked when they haven't actually dived. But that's only because the same public and fans who are now having a go at them were previously complaining that divers get away with diving.
They can't win really.
I agree.
It isn't a foolproof method by any means but I think it would be a big enough sanction to prevent players from even taking the risk.
The bigger question that would arise though, would be the use of technology post-match in general and extending it to other decisions.
Do they fuck. They've done it in the past but you're talking out of your arse there.
Nope.
Neither did Fellaini's kick on Allen.
Those are even becoming t-shirts. Contact The Hitcher to print them.

Wonder when the 'Betting GAF' phase will end
Personally I only put on about a tenner a month total, not fair on the family to spend more than that plus I take out any profit
I rarely win anyway though

When they're all broke and homeless and Wilbury ask them to go live with him

When Barca, Real Madrid and Manure stop being predictable winners every week.

I meant the debate between great graphics/30fps vs normal graphics/60fps
Oooooh. Ok. Fine.
*Puts gun away*
JesusBale is boss.
He should have gone with that look in the Batman trilogy
Did you watch The Machinist?
I can't remember if it was you or Wilbury who asked about it.
Big spender, I'm about a fiver a month at most
annoys me a bit when my Facebook feed is full of people talking about betting, most don't realise that they've spent more on it than they've won but instead delude themselves with the odd £80 win or something that they get.Freewheelin'

Assuming that neither of those comes in, I'm done for the foreseeable future, except for that £20 bet which I'm desperate for somebody to either give me a tip with, or buy off of me. Might have to try selling it for less than £20

What's this nonsense about Maclean refusing to wear a poppy? Maybe he should leave the country if he can't show a little respect?
Anyway don't want to get into a big row about it and i know his reasoning but needless to say I think it's shite

Master troll.
Not the first time Wenger has done this and we've seen the consequences.
You should!Nope I don't think I've seen that! Don't think Wilbz has either
Hmm, it was definitely someone here.
What the hell Llorente, keep a low profile man!
I have faith in big Sam.

Yeah it weren't that great. A few funny bits though.
He was poor today though. Gave away a penalty, kept getting caught in possession and giving it away. I think he's a great player but today he was very bad.
So do I.
I'm always a bit torn on the issue. At the end of the day people are allowed to express their own beliefs and I'd never want something like the poppy to be enforced in any way, as for me that would defeat the object of wearing one.
On the flip side, if you're the sort of person to go that far out of your way to publicly refuse to honour something like the poppy, which represents the loss of so many throughout history regardless of current conflicts, then I personally have absolutely zero time for you, don't care what you think and don't want to listen to your opinion.

Like that's much to shout about :lol
Don't underestimate West Ham though, playing well and there's an insane amount of personal scores to be settled tomorrow!

I think he does it on purpose.
I don't agree with him but I think he should be well within his rights to make his choice.
He is Irish so we don't need to think too hard as to why he made that choice. Again, don't agree and don't condone - but I get it. Recently I have found people going too hard on the poppy business. I wear one myself but it's slowly become an obligation without being one - that's not right IMO.
I'm not 100% confident about tomorrow but if we do win, we'll be 7th and breathing down Tottenham's neck
Must win game at all costs.

He's Irish
It leads me to think in a more extreme example what would I do if say I went to Germany and they had a similar thing to mark the war dead (not sure if they do) I think I'd still be respectful
Refusing to wear a poppy shows a huge lack of respect for me
Edit: jaunpablo see above I don't need to google it my point stands

But why?
He followed the minutes silence and I am sure he feels sorry for anybody who has lost their life innocently.
Not wearing a poppy should not equal being disrespectful.
