Downing saying playing LB for us was the low point in his career. How about when he played himself out of the team by being shit for a full season? There's a reason he was put at LB. Because he couldn't fucking play in his natural position.
 
My comeback from injury today. What better day to do so than on my Birthday. Gonna head in to London in a few hours with the intention of not returning until tomorrow.

Apparently he's been injured in England training. His resolve isn't good enough.

I'm yet to understand the appeal/craze of burritos. There's always a 30-strong queue into the supposedly best burrito place in town, and there's 3 of them round the corner from me.

I came across (not literally pls) "Date my Pornstar" on reddit

"Jonathan has been addicted to porn ever since he found his dad's stash when he was 10"

Channel 4, never change

"At home in Bury St. Edmunds, Danny can't get enough of gay porn"

Madrids form is peaking early. We got them. In our pockets.
This is the best Madrid team I've seen in the last decade and to a certain point I do agree with your comment that we have peaked so early. If we can make it past the January/February window without injuries we should be good for the remainder of the season. Carlo has brought incredible balance, I remember even myself freaking out about Alonso/DiMaria leaving but I have to hand it to coaching staff for enabling James, kroos, Modric and Isco.
We could beat RM now, I mean it is a 50-50 chance but we're much better than last season. Now we are playing direct football and not that shit tiki-taka of last season and we got better players: Lewa, Xabi Alonso, etc. And RM are without a true DM, and without Alonso specially.
Our current midfield + Ramos/Varene/Marcello/Carvejal isn't too shabby.. We've played without a "true" DM for a good while now. James and Isco have helped in the defensive department because they track back a lot and fight to regain ball control when lost. This by proxy also enables Bale to be less vertical when need be.
After Brazil defeated Turkey 4-0 in Istanbul on Wednesday, Turkish President Erdogan has weighed in one the debate of Turkish football's future. He said that Brazil are better than Turkey at football because Brazilians have stronger leg muscles from playing on the beach, sand strengthens muscles, whereas Turks play on artificial pitches.
This is so god damn embarrassing. Politically I hope Kerry's visit puts some perspective to Turkey.

Bahahahahahahahahaha.. I mean there are rumors and then there is this garbage.
 
Also worked pretty well for Bayern last season until we faced RM.

Coupled with the fact that your set piece defending was garbage. Nevermind our counter attacks, we had you at set pieces. Also remember you going guns blazing and focusing too much on attack while exposing yourself to a counter.

What a game that was :)
 
...Speaking of. I get heat from select Turks on FB because I support Madrid when they faced against Gala. Just because I was born there doesn't mean I have to support their shitty league.

Sonuna kadar Fenerbahce!

Can't speak for the burritos over there, but in California it's fucking heaven

To be fair, the game in Bernabeu was a nearly perfect performance from Bayern. We caught a counter of course. Second game was over after 10 minutes though. Still, this years Madrid is amazing in attack, but Atletico already showed where your weakness is and a class team like Bayern, Chelsea, PSG and Dortmund will expose it again.

Is this Chiriches any good?

You're a traitor to your country and your club.

I dont think I agree with you because the Madrid team of today and the Madrid team that faced off against Atleti is a very different team. We were so unbalanced due to our new signings and positional play adjustment that came along with it. I have full confidence we can play and change our game to adjust to top tier teams, even coming from a deficit to win (see Barca) it.

Why are you so negative lately. WHY?

Also, why don't you have a PS4 and PES2015? Me and you vs. CuntBla and CuntJackcw. Imagine.

That would be lovely, but I doubt their netcode can handle my overseas cunt of a connection :lol

Being negative is just precaution to avoid disappointments ;_;

So when life gives you lemons you can act surprised and grateful

Allegri we're still waiting for our Coman-ade ;_;
