you can't blame him for not calling him though. He failed (multiple times) in Serie A and B.

For when he finally snaps, I assume.
If you feel you need a gun to help save your life, move.
I miss this guy

Been playing LOTR. really enjoying it. Hardly done any missions because I'm just running around killing shit.
Nemesis system is great. Killed 8, 9 captains without any trouble and then one of the ones who I already killed resurrected and killed me, and then I got into a fight with three at a time and around 40 fucking foot soldiers, got killed by a random one and promotions abound. It's a really interesting way of motivating me to go about killing them all. Really liking it.
Off to see Gone Girl now.

Lazio actually!
yeah apparently that's why he was benched last night :lol
I'd like to see this formation:
Fernando - Fernandinho
Navas - Silva - Milner
Aguero
Fernando and Fernandinho has mobility Yaya can only dream about, it would give the team another kind of punch. Yaya has saved City over the years but it's my belief that a lot of the problems originate from him to start with. Literally every opposition counter-attack becomes lethal due to him (and his lack of interest to defend) and everyone has to rush back and start over.
When Fernando came on with Lampard at central midfield (and Yaya was moved up), everything completely changed in that regard. However, Silva was moved out wide to give Yaya the CAM position. I'd like to see Silva given the freedom with Fernando and Fernandinho behind him. Milner and Navas make the runs on the sides with Silva feeding them.
dunno, Guardiola says in the book that he can see himself coaching Man Utd, the same thing he said about Bayern. LvG is already setting everything up for Guardiola to replace him.

Exactly, we're going to spend another £300 million on players then Pep's going to roll in like he created the whole fucking team.
You know, I would quite fancy Roberto Martinez taking over, but I don't think that would happen.
wanted to catch a showing right around this time, but i took too long taking a shit.
might see it in a few hours.
I wonder if Erik ten Hag will get a shot as first team coach once Guardiola leaves.
I mean, he left Go Ahead Eagles after getting promoted to the Eredivisie to coach the Bayern reserves in the 4th division? That doesn't make any sense, surely there must be some promise behind it

Nella fattispecie lo farà il Pd Marco Miccoli, che ha spiegato, in parole povere, che chiederà se qualcuno ha rubato e che episodi come quelli di ieri penalizzano il mercato del lavoro italiano, altro che articolo 18:
«Ricordo che Roma e Juventus sono società quotate in borsa, e quindi gli incredibili errori arbitrali (oltre a falsare il campionato e minare la credibilità del Paese) incidono anche sugli andamenti della quotazioni borsistiche. Per questo, con i miei atti parlamentari ispettivi, sollecito il ministro Padoan e la Consob a chiarire se ci possono essere stati atti che ledono le normative vigenti, svantaggiando e penalizzando gli incolpevoli azionisti.
Ritengo anche che la partita di ieri, trasmessa in tutto il mondo, abbia dato una pessima immagine del Paese. Meritocrazia e qualità vengono messi in secondo piano a favore di decisioni errate. Più che dell'articolo 18, sono sicuro che gli imprenditori stranieri siano messi in fuga soprattutto da questa arbitrarietà e mancanza di certezza nell'applicazione delle regole, assolutamente impensabile in qualsiasi altra parte del mondo civilizzato. A Roma c'è l'americano Pallotta che continua ad investire in Italia. Speriamo che ieri non abbia visto la partita. O, almeno, che l'abbia dimenticata in fretta».
Ps: Dopo la pubblicazione del post sono state annunciate nell'ordine: un'interrogazione parlamentare da parte di Fratelli d'Italia; un'interrogazione alla Commissione europea da parte della Lega.
http://www.huffingtonpost.it/?ref=HRBH-1
Basically even the EU has been asked to investigate on yesterday's match
I can't stop crying, everyone is turning a suffered 3-2 into a huge world catastrophe. GIVE ME MORE.

Not enough goals I don't think.
But I think that is exactly how you should line up when you go away in Europe. Fernando looked great on the weekend (only Villa etc but he just knows what to do)
I don't think it's a matter of who wants the job though. It's going to be Giggs - they already decided that pretty much it seems.
Of course a lot could happen between now and then for it not to go as planned.
Fuck that.

It's fun at least for the first two seasons. It's started to get a bit tedious after that.
It's good though I would recommend it, you'll blitz through and some good laughs and views along the way.

I don't think any club would reject the chance to sign Pep
Totti's penalty wasn't a penalty, Marchisio was tripped in the box and Morata's red wasn't even a booking.
Roma to Serie C confirmed.
in all seriousness, isn't it common knowledge and wildly accepted that Rocchi is just a shit ref?
Thanks guys
Netflix Germany only got the first 2 seasons anyway. Will continue then

You would think so - but we did just appoint Moyes when we probably could have got Mourinho for example.
There is still this idea that it's Giggs' destiny to have the job.
But yeah - if Guardiola goes on to win another CL with Bayern and then he is stepping down the same time as LvG (and Guardiola wants to go to MU) it might sway things. I can see Guardiola staying at Bayern for longer than 3 years though. What do you think?
Silva is world class, but he is not outrageous by any stretch of the imagination.
Put it this way, currently Silva is a better player than Hazard but I expect Harazrd to become a far superior player (if and its a big if, he get to that level required) by fulfilling his potential. And he's not far off atm.
In Premier League atm I'd say only Di Maria is really challenging him for status as best Number 10 however thats due to a lack of form of a number of other plays rather than he actually is....

Just add, I've never seen why people marry the the two (Pep and Man U). Is it because its a big team big name? I dunno. But I do not think Man u would enjoy pep as their coach and I dont think pep would enjoy being their coach with the way he plays football.

Di Maria was fantastic for Real, and was MoTM in the Champions Cup final.
Come on guys. Just accept that Di Maria is amazing. He's world class, and currently one of the best players in the world.
Yes he is, but he is a shit ref just because we pay him lunch so that we can easily beat stronger opponents. As every other referee in Serie A.

Silva might just be the best Spanish player in the league now though! Depending on how you rate De Gea and what you consider Costa as lol
