This is amazing
Also I'm watching yesterday's MOTD, I love Snodgrass's terrible "beard" :lol:
Messi looks a bit too tall there.

Oh wow Messi has another hamstring injury? He never seemed to get injured that often.
He's almost unbearably Scottish looking
This was the day we proved ourselves. The day that Mourinho's tactical vision and philosophical daring paid off. Illusions were burst, egos pricked. Last year we were named champions but today we lived it. Glory, glory!
We will finish fourth and celebrate like we're Arsenal
Arsenal will be fifth
Arsenal stuck by RVP because they saw the talent in him. If he was shit he would have been shipped off to some other club asap.
Everybody's looking out for their own best interests.
Not for long, hopefully.
After they spent 90M this summer. Shameless. Conte hit him right back saying that Napoli have to win the scudetto after all the money they invested this year, anything less would be a failure. Dat pressure.
If by 'good' you mean he didn't completely suck, then yes, he did good. The team carried him though, not vice-versa. Ogbonna on the other hand had a very good game. He got the second yellow at the end and it was kinda the refs fault, since Ogbonna had to stop a counter-attack that the ref himself started by intercepting the ball, the cunt. Angelo will come good, he just need a bit more time to adjust, like Bonucci did.
United, Spurs and City all playing below expectations is a pretty delicious morsel but by far the tastiest bit this season has been Chelsea floundering.
If justjohn's posting history could be packaged as a pill it'd absolutely destroy the market for erection-inducing meds. I read through his arrogant posts about football and it's kept me hard for hours knowing he's been shitting out nothing but crow for the past few weeks.

Poor Messi,, the drugs aren't working as intended. Guardiola saw it coming.
He did before Guardiola showed up...

He has been banned for a while now.
What's this about?
well known fact that messi is a growth hormone pumping tax cheat
now that his drug supplier is gone he's gone back to being a injury prone tax cheat like before
I'm just so disappointed in how we played. This is the second big team PL team we play against recently were we lost. Our defense was the only functional part yesterday. Ramsey and Özil were anonymous, Ramsey moreso because Özil created one good chance for Giroud while he had another chance where he could had scored if he wasn't so afraid to throw himself towards the ball. Giroud barely did anything due to lack of chances created by midfield. Cazorla played worse than a poor kid playing on the street. Not only could we barely put a few passes together but many of them were so fucking bad that they went straight to United players instead of ours, what's worse is that those horrible passes were mostly on OUR half. Don't even get me started on how we didn't bother to shoot multiple times in their penalty area or how no one converted Sagna's perfect crosses into goals. Did we increase pressure in the second half? Yes but it was nothing spectacular, same problems we had first half was there, we barely threatened DDG.
The game was a big test, a test which we should have won in our form this season. Yet we couldn't win or get at least a draw against one of the worst United teams that have started this season. They might as well have played with no GK because it would have made no fucking difference. If this is how we will play against big teams in PL we're only asking City and Chelsea to make us look like fools. The return of some of our injured players better help us.
Winning three big games in a row is a massive ask for any team. It's all about how you respond to it against Southampton.
Rafa Benitez: "Juve are a team that make over €100 million more [than us] in sales, so it's normal for them to win."
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL oh COME ON! Half our team is like free transfers. The most expensive player in our XI is 15-18M tops, and he's not even that good.

Swedish people...
How we managed to get 4 points in CL is a mystery.
You're thinking about it all wrong. We don't need to prove anything or any tests. The Chelsea game proved nothing, we didn't have our best players on the field in that game. Ramsey is not a DM, we played Jenkinson, Flappy, Bendtner, Ryo etc... All that game proved was Chelsea have much greater depth than we do but we already knew that.
We beat Tottenham, we beat Napoli, we beat Liverpool, we beat Dortmund away. You're sounding like an English journalist where no matter what test you pass they always look to the next one for you to fail. For example after the Dortmund loss we were hammered then as well as not good enough etc... but we responded in the PL and in the return game put ourselves in the best position in the group. The United game is only 3 points, that fact gets lost of a few people. You're too pessimistic. We may not win the league, I don't think we will, but progress is being made this season and it's very pleasing to see. Cazorla, Giroud, Ozil and Ramsey all didn't play well today and it showed as this was the only game this season we've been keep scoreless in the league. I've seen enough this season to tell me that we will give both City and Chesea good games too.

And yet
Juve Transfer Expenditures:
2009/10 59.300.000
2010/11 59.270.000
2011/12 102.010.000
2012/13 68.400.000
from transfermarkt
I wish Gazprom had that much money.
what a ridiculous statement from that fat slob
everyone knows juve are broke thieves trying to steal other teams youth
Brilliant!
Lol, you Canadian bellend, this isn't even NET expenditure.
Anyway, I'll bite:
1-Three of those years are still LESS than Higuain+Callejon+Albiol.
2-Rafa spent 86.920.000m this year, we spent 31.760.000m and still made a profit.
That's almost x 3 innit.
LOOOOL WTF
If anything calls for a post-lunch footytube scour it's this.

Arsenal have got everything to prove and massive tests to overcome.
You've won nothing for 8 years.
Not to say ydays result gives us the verdict, but really, jury is still out and will be until you get it done and having something to show.

First of all, the only reason you made a transfer profit this year was that some club was dumb enough to pay actual money for Allesandro Matri.
Secondly, looking at net expenditure doesn't do you much good. Cunte's first year you guys spent 82 million net. Rafa's at 16 million net. Nice try. You can't spin it, old lady has some deep pockets. Just because you got some good players for free/cheap doesn't mean you guys don't spend money. The money spent on the Islas, Pepes, and Giovincos(sorry Arkon) of the world still adds up.
What an amazing free kick from Pirlo yesterday. Baffling techinque. It's like he hits the ball with his nails or something. No curve whatsoever and the balls dips like a motherfucker. Can't fine a video from this cam without the banner, so this will have to do.
Godba. Thank you based pagno1972 on YouTube. SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Special thanks to Napoli's defense. <3
But is this WHY we won last night? No.
Is this WHY we are winning under Conte? No.
Did we spend more than Rafa this year? No, not even close.
Is our XI more expensive than Napoli?
Are you Canadian? Yes.
We ARE a rich club, but we are also cheap as fuck. You don't know what you're talking about, clearly.

I wish Rafa wouldn't go on about money so much. Just get on with it.
As an aside though, Napoli were a little fucked in the summer. They lost their best player, a world class striker, and
a) They didn't have the squad to blow all that money on one like-for-like replacement
b) Don't have the reputation to attract the very best players unless offering them insane wages
c) Everyone knew how much money they have, which when combined with b), lead to them spending way over the odds for players who are no more than decent (Higuain is great, but nowhere near Cavani), but play in positions that needed to be strengthened
c) is similar to the position Spurs found themselves in tbh, unless all of their summer signings are far, far better than the form they've shown so far (Chiriches has been very good so far I think)

His past doesn't concern me.
Watched a bit of Fleetwood v Gloucester. Bloke playing for Fleetwood the spitting image of Hitcher.
Along with Jon Parkin, the lower-league physiological everyman, among the goals.

I'd do a google image search, but I know it'll prove fruitless
Read the words 'spitting image of Hitcher,' saw John Parkin, popped the pill container open and got the vodka out of the cupboard

Look I don't care much for Napoli but I think it's more fair to compare Rafa's spending to Conte's first year in charge instead of a 2x defending Champions squad. Of course that wouldn't be convenient for your case.
Second of all, sure you may not spend 30+ million on one player. But you guys have no problem to instead spend 10 million three times on mediocre players. Cheap isn't exactly the right word for this. Dumb, would be more appropriate.
Edit: Just so people don't misunderstand, I don't give a fuck about what Napoli does or what Rafa says. I just don't want Juve-bros decieving everyone into believing that Juve don't spend a shitton of money on players.

Unai Emery is a hero and a saint. Dat 5-0.
Alright then. Rafa spent 86M on his first year, and on better players to be honest.
That's true.
But is spending 10 million from our deep pockets (on mediocre players no less) the reason why we won last night? Which is basically Rafa's point I guess?
I'm not sure what the fuck is your point though, it seems like you're just arguing for the sake of arguing.
edit:
DECEIVING LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Everyone knows Marotta sucks at spending money and we complain about it all the time.

Rafa's at 16 spent on net. You're the one who wanted to talk about net spending, remember?
You want to see my point? I'll give you an over-exaggerated example. A team buys 100 players for 3 million each. 20 percent of them turn out to be good, the rest garbage. And then someone comes out and says "look how cheaply we assembled this team, all our starting players only cost 3 million each". You see how that statement would be misleading?
