The Mirror say Gerrard is to have pain-killing injections in order to play the friendly against Germany. Ugh.

I wonder does Wooden like Agger's new tattoos.

I'mma be real: playing the Ox on the wing reeks of trying to put a square peg in a round hole. He didn't develop as a player last season either in my opinion (think Lightning has echoed this too). Whats worse is that Wenger acknowledges that he should play centrally "in time". Feel bad for the lad, he isn't going to get any opportunities to play in the middle at Arsenal, considering Aaron "Zidane Zidane" Ramsey and co.

Having Gnabry has made me appreciate the merits of a 'real' winger.

Don't know that I agree with that. During the Ox's first season he looked good on the wing. Had pace, power and courage. He was taking defenders on and beating them, unlike Theo. He has both the strength and pace required to play out on the wing. He is a much better passer than Theo.

The reason he didn't develop last year is because he never played. And why is that? Because Theo was banging them in for us. And when Jack was healthy Ramsey was moved out to the right wing. And Wenger doesnt rotate enough.

Ox needs consistent playing time. Like Jack. It seems all too often Arsenal fans toss aside players when the new shinny thing comes along (Ramsey, Gnarby).

That's a pretty bad tattoo no matter who it's on. But going by the principle that any change to Aggers appearance is an improvement, I can't be too against it.

It's amazing that Wenger, for all his knowledge of the game, doesn't know how to rotate properly.

We have never had the depth to rotate. Still don't.

Whether that is Wenger's fault or not is another discussion.

I firmly believe this was the first summer he had a large amount of money available to him.

Don't think many like to rotate, a lot of clubs have a first eleven in mind. Spurs are obviously suffering at the moment because AVB doesn't know his.

Fergie was just very good at analysing an opposition and knowing what would work best against them (as well as just giving minutes to his squad). I remember how fucking vexed I was when Giggs, Welbeck and Jones were part of a midfield five against Madrid. All three were absolutely phenomenal.

Hernandez against Chelsea always seems to work as well.

No. Only judging from the gifs though, under a 1080p closeup look he
might lose.

please refer to images of my asshole

It isn't about tossing to the side, although I was all in favour of doing that to Ramsey last season, but more to do with the glimpses I've had of him playing centrally which have been unanimously positive.

On the issue of Walcott.... I don't know. Very frustrating player at times, but essential to our side nonetheless.

Wenger's lack of rotation is a problem, I agree. You can really see that when players are thrown into the deep end having had a lack of recent game time, young players in particular (like Jenkinson).

I always laugh at;

"Where do you think you are, in some fucking regency costume drama. This is a government department, not some fucking Jane fucking Austen novel"

Tucker is so good. And I forgot about Jaime.

Damn that movie is so gooood.

I'd love to see him play in the middle more, but it's just not likely. Unless Wenger thinks his best position will be the #10, in which case he can play when Ozil is injured/resting, but I don't know that he is ready to play at the 10.

We have a lot of youth that are going to be fighting for spots in the middle as well. If i were him I would be happy getting time anywhere on the pitch.

In regards to Theo I think he will be gone in summer 15. He only signed a 3.5 year deal and by 2015 hopefully Gnarby or Ox will have taken his starting spot.

If you think Spurs' issue is squad selection then you've been listening too intently to the lord of spin, the great almighty Usho.

"calm down, we don't want you to have another haemorrhage."

I fucking lost it. The whole bleeding from the teeth sketch. Malcolm in general.

And that eliza was really tidy
 
Bale yes Ronaldo no

Ronaldo's defensive work is really bad. Even Neville said so, but he was allowed that freedom because of how good of an attacker he is. That is the reason why his average position is always the highest of his team most of the time.

Toral has apparently put in some good performances since his return from injury and we all know how good Zelalem looks to be. They both seem to be the next big thing in regard to our midfield youth players, with the later making the recent step up.

Walcott's signature was paramount at the time, but closer to 2015 we may feel differently about his contract situation. It will be interesting to see whether Sagna has any intentions of staying on.

It's not the only problem, but AVB just doesn't know his best team and that means there's no cohesion. Silly bum should just go HAM, Lamela on the right, Townsend on the left, Eriksen behind.

The bit where Gandolfini is counting dead soldiers on the kiddie calculator thing is great as well.

hold on here's the line

"I can't stand to see a woman bleed from the mouth. It reminds me of that Country & Western music which I cannot abide"

LMAOOOOooooooooo fuck its hilarious

"Well, it is out there, it's out there now, lurking like a big hairy rapist at a coach station. You know, if I could, I'd punch you into paralysis!"


"No, you're right, I'm being unfair. I should be thanking you for not throwing up. Well done, you're a star. You didn't wet yourself, did you? You're in the right city. You didn't say anything overtly racist. You didn't pull your cock out and start plucking it and shouting "Willy Banjo""

no it was because a bunch of fucking mangoes think Antonio Banderas is going to turn up at a Sony event or some shit

I mean some of those initial gifs were damn funny but it's getting a bit creepy now.

This is how religions get started.

And i hate so say I told you say, but that KZ review thread. Oh boy, nearly rivals In the Loop for the amount of laughs.

Most people predicts 9s and 10s.

Gets 70 ish on metacritic.

Game journos hate either a) Sony b) FPS' or c) They are shills or d) Don't get the majesty of one this generation's greatest franchises.

Maybe it's that the game isn't very good?

I haven't seen anything from Townsend to suggest that he should be in Spurs' first 11.

I'm bored of him as well to be honest. For England, the plus was that he isn't Ashley Young. For Spurs, he's scored a flukey goal and cut inside a lot so people think it's Bale reincarnated.

If I was in charge I'd have Lennon and Lamela starting; Lennon's pretty underrated if you ask moi.

He deserves to play on the LEFT but if he's a quality inverted right winger then I'm a small pie made of Chicken.

He looks good for England because there's a fuck tonne of space and they need him to carry the ball up the field, with Spurs it's a competently different game.

Well he's giving them a bit of hope isn't he? If it weren't for him slapping the ball into row Z twenty times a game from outside the box they'd be staring at two statistical demons: no goals scored AND no shots.

It feels as if anything remotely negative about the PS4 on the gaming side gets immediately shot down.

Towsend had a good start because he hasn't been exposed much to PL footy and nobody knew what to make of him.

But now, once teams have cottoned onto his game, his one toned stick is so obvious, defenders don't even need to think. Oop, he cut inside AGAIN. What a shock.

He is as predictable as a porno.

He is still a good player, just needs a new aspect to his game.

I see Arthur Gies is stirring some shit again.

Everything that comes out of his mouth regarding the PS4 is so negative. It's not even constructive criticism. There's plenty of stuff he can actually criticise about the console, but all he's doing is shitting on the product.

Listening to him now and I think he's mentally deranged.

He's like Kyoufu but for the other side.

When I heard he was doing Shadow Fall I knew shit was going down. He's pretty open about hating the franchise in the past.
