Se saltelli, la salta Balotelli!
The hell is this? Llorente + Quaglia makes no sense at all to me. Draw incoming.
So weird.

I image Wilbs means that if they drop points in a single match, they're out of the title race
@Arnie, what did his teammate do?

This pleases us. We feel there is a great partnership in the making right there.
I think so too, Conte dropped too many hints during the presser. The giant and the dwarf.

Portillo is going to score the winner.

Post a formation!!
Wilbrrrr pls they are playing against Osasuna. But otherwise Atletico are very good, looking even stronger this season despite losing Falcao, exciting!

Yaya Toure's free kick was really nice

You deserve to be rewarded for you undying faith in the Atomic Ant, arkon-chan. A hattrick tomorrow would to do it.
He's lasted longer than I expected, tbh.

Well, I think you know that Yaya does as well (offers more than goals). That he has 5 goals thus far is just a hugely added benefit. Three of them now have come from FKs although the biggest was the one against United which did not. Honestly though, I think a goal via FK is far more impressive than one from open play.
I don't advocate that he's playing better than Vidal per se, but I don't think it's out of the question to suggest as much. Both teams are very lucky.
Calderon feels so empty tonight, you notice it even more when the fans chant in response to the guy screaming through the speaker. There's not enough fans there this night. I suppose even Atleti fans don't give a shit about a game against Osasuna. Truly a two-team shit league :lol

Great football from Malaga there.
Oof. Guess I'll swap Remy in for him.. he seems to be playing pretty well right now.
Or Lukaku.. hmm..
Back from the DFB Pokal match against 1860 München. Boy was it a tough piece of work, I just had to look at the stats: 38 shots, 18 corners, hit the woodwork four times and yet it took us 105 minutes to score. I believe that if we hadn't gotten that penalty in extra time, the game would have ended in a penalty shoot-out. But with one goal and one player down, 1860 barely participated in the final 15 minutes. To be honest, they didn't have a single really threatening chance during the whole match.
The atmosphere was quite special, too. The 1860 supporters celebrated every corner, set piece and even throw-in they got. It felt like it was the game of the season for them. So many fans with match scarves and DFB Pokal shirts.
Oh and it's SO great to be able to ride to the stadium by bicycle. No traffic jams on the autobahn, no crowded trains. I could get used to this.

Fabregas does not count, Barca made him into shit. Suso wouldn't even be Arsenal-Fabregas's left nut.
I don't know if my heart would survive that.

Someone posted it. #Respect etc.
I wish Januzaj was loaned to Almeria too, would have been bad ass.

Benteke out for up to six weeks Sky are saying.
Villa fucked.
Villa fucked.
Januzaj isn't versatile enough.
Doesn't have that core strength that Suso does, nor the technical ability with the ball.

Getting told off by Messi.
Passing the ball to Missi.

Won us the super cup, assisted goals and performed better than Messi the rest of the time.
That's how we do it. Ronaldinho 2.0 is here.
And not even kidding, if Messi wasn't having this random bad finishing all of a sudden Neymar would have about 4 assists more. Messi is probably missing on purpose the jealous cunt.
Watch this plug.
Messi ruined the goal of the season.
I think he's beautiful.
Oh look it's Ray Romano in his younger years.

Suen pls, by the time Zenit play Porto Hulk will have lost his starting spot in the lineup to Arshavin. And no one can make a fool out of Arshavin
except Wenger's shitty management.

He is different. Scoring wise so far definitely not, but he suits the team better and looks to assist more.
Maybe the fact that he only was getting subbed in or just 55mins in the first few games has something to do with lack of goals but that is my only complaint so far really.
He defends, works hard, links up well, dribbles past players and assists. Just gotta steal Messi's shooting boots.

He's lanky, but is extremely good at using his body and working with his back facing the goal. He's not Shinji who can get shrugged off the ball and struggle with physicality. The only time he falls over is when he wins free kicks.
His technique is really really good. I don't think I've ever heard anyone argue the opposite.
It's true that he doesn't score much though. He does when he plays against players that are his age, but hasn't replicated his goal scoring form against older opponents.
Cheat sheet for Januzaj:
Pros: Vision, Technique, Decision making
Cons: Finishing, Pace (although he still manages to skip past players whenever he wants to)
I'm already pre cumming at the thought of him physically maturing.

Nah I disagree with your first point, there's a reason #DatHoldUpPlay is a thing with him. He has good balance and knows how to use his body.
He doesn't threaten the goal directly a lot that's true but he does open opportunities for his team mates to threaten the goal directly.

As well as being brilliant to watch, the arguments between ourselves and the Mancs would have been hilarious

Yurt would post weekly whoscored stat comparisons, it would be great.
