I don't understand why only Fiorentina is after Gomez. Although I heard that Gomez's wife really wants to move there. Can't blame her, beautiful city and a great country to live in, especially if you're rich and famous.

Arnie your chicken cards are in the post btw

How weird.

I just got an email telling me where I'm gonna be working in September.

Dept of Health here I come. No idea why they emailed me at this time though.

good lad <3

Regarding your earlier point Wilbury, I think Wilshere in 2010/11 form is a match winner.

You may see it again this season.

Yeah, agreed.

In which case, Gerrard is still a matchwinner

I almost wrote Gerrard actually

I agree.

At his best Wilshere was damn good. A shame we have seen so little of it so far.

Just looked at the stats and apparently he made 25 PL appearances last season. Really didn't think he'd played that much, even including sub appearances.
It's important to note that the players Wilshere was playing with on his return were completely different from those he left. Couple that with so long out of the game and it's understandable he looked a few steps behind.

I remember (and possibly other Arsenal guys here too) complaining that Arsene was overplaying him last season.

A proper pre-season with the squad will do him the world of good.

I may be one of the few persons living in Tuscany who fucking hate Florence. Too snob for me.
 
Fuck imagine living in Tuscany or Florence. They look gorgeous

fucking england

I wouldn't swap London for anywhere.

Maybe New York.

Depends what you're looking for really, but in London you're at the centre of things. Having lived here I don't think I could move away.

In other words, be grateful you knob.

Pete Colley, Sky journalist for the Midlands, and Mat Kendrick, the Villa reporter for the Birmingham Mail, are having a twitter banter argument with a notorious female Villa fan, who is adamant Kiyotake will be signing tomorrow.

Embarassing all around.

Well you see this was never the plan.

The plan was for Benzema to leave. At one stage we were just days away from Benzema handing in his transfer request, 11 days I believe, people in Lyon were relating all of this back to us.

It seemed as though nothing could be done about it.

But then things changed, situation was fluid and Perez and Benz had a chat and Benz felt loved again, Benz forgave the betrayal that Mourinho sent down upon him and agreed he would stay and fight for Madrid and lead them to glory.

Benz is just that good, so Higuain had to do one.
This post was absolutely sublime.

I don't live in London London tho, I live in Outer London. A London borough, which has nothing unique about it whatsoever apart from the fact that Darius Henderson was born here.

So are you guys playing L4D2 because I started playing it?

I'd like to think that anyway
Bacon, sleepless is afraid of putting you on the Monaco list.

Btw kinda disappointed if the rumours(?) of Fiorentina not being able to afford Gomez is true. I'd love to see him there only to see how Fiorentina would develop with him. They'd certainly have a great chance at becoming even more competitive compared to the previous season, interesting team.

Southampton's alright.

Just wish everything didn't shut down at normal times. I'd love to be able to go grab a coffee after work somewhere and chill at like 1AM.

I suppose it's not that uncommon. I've been to Firenze a bunch of times, loved it. If I could choose, I'd live nearby though, not in the city. Dat villetta in the Tuscan hills. Couldn't give less of a shit about being "at the centre of things", as long as there's a decent sized city nearby.

Only just found out about Cliff Richard aha.

HG Wells lived here for a fair amount of time as well. I don't mind London, but I don't love it. Appreciate I have everything on my doorstep but aesthetically it isn't great for me.

I know :/ just utterly tiresome doing modules I have no interest in. Next year perks up a little bit, there's a Bob Dylan one and a Writing Children's Fiction one which both sound right up my street (ooh er). Shitting myself over dissertations/extended essays already, welp.

When are you starting work again, September?

Having a look online. Seems that apart from the area around Marrakech, it's not too expensive.

Wouldn't be a bad holiday destination.
Have had several friends visit it. They didn't talk about price but all of them enjoyed the trip there. Said it was fairly relaxing, interesting and nice. When are you planning to travel there?

This. I mean seriously you can't be upset about his choice, who wouldn't want all that.

Ten years and he'll be playing in the second division of the Colombian league because he wasted all his money in the Monte Carlo Casino
