Football Thread 2014/15 |OT8| - Sunderland 0

As a centre forward he is incredibly poor, doesn't have the best movement, doesn't do any defensive work and is best games have all been out on the left wing for us and that spot is taken. Podolski's not an out and out centre forward and hasn't played well in that position for us. You take the FA cup final, he was shit.

Podolski's left boot is one only great thing about him. He scores frequently but his overall game us just so poor. You need more than a left boot.

He actually did a very good job when he had a few games up front at the end of his first season. Let him have a few games and you will see his quality show again.

Yeah, same reason why I don't play Driveclub anymore. Such a fantastic racer but online is still broken for me.

Bingo. I stopped playing it as well. Even though I enjoyed it a lot. Don't even care for the new update. Just give me a message which says "DC is working now" and I'm back. But fuck all those online problems lately.

I'm having a great time with GTA btw. I just love this game and its missions.

Our 19 y/o midfielder

Mattiello on his idol "Gerrard, he's the type of player that I always admired & wanted to be, he has everything including class.

What's with Italians and Gerrard :lol

So only yesterday I arrived in Rome and twice people have tried ripping me off already.

At the airport some guy wanted me to get on his taxi shuttle to the city for a cheap 110€! But I remember from last time that it is a fixed price of 48€ at the official taxis.

Then I went to a shop right next to St. Peter's and bought some rosaries for my Grandma and they were marked down to 2€ each. Went to the cashier and he said 40€ for the five pieces! He wanted to charge me the price before mark-down and probably even higher than that. When I pointed out the new price he said nothing and only took 10. This is a shop selling religious paraphanilia! Even they do it! What's up with Rome!

pulga, pls

If its bad there, never go to Romania.
 
D Studge has had 13 injuries since joining Liverpool, most of which were muscle injuries (nice that they have those special recovery regimes for him then). Those 13 injuries came in 21 months, in the previous 2 years the player suffered 9 injuries.

On average D Studge has had an injury every 4 games for Liverpool.

haha

i hate that in foreign countries.

when i was new in china i paid 80€ for 1 NFL shirt and 1 NBA shirt. I thought 40 each is a good price.

Later, once I got used to China I found out you could buy stuff like this for 10€ each haha.

What a ripoff back then.

That's not very smart. You'll buy it again you know.



My psn is UCK_MY_ICK

I won't be able to play tonight. Gonna play far cry 4 first mate. Just had some great exhibition matches though.

Nah, I'm good, FF. I'm good.

Exactly, they'll always test the stupidity of visitors.

They are all mangos, mangos the lot of them!
 
Conte losing it ahahaha that's all I wanted really

He's right. Obsessing over Balotelli is so 2011 (and June 2014), journalists need to get over it. He stopped being interesting a long time ago, it's pretty pointless to talk about him all the time.

Also, thank god he left Milan. Can't imagine how the past two months would've been with him on the pitch.

Finally got to play some Halo on tc's XB1. Damn, it's bloody great, when you finally get a game that is.
So good, the controls and shooting are really tight. What a game.

Nothing will change unfortunately.

Bla the moment he saw his name was back.

Haha, you're right <3. I love Blablurn <3

Too bad. I really liked Snitch.

It was terrible and not funny, and undeserved. I really hated it.

YES FF! Had a FANTASTIC run of online matches with rvy yesterday. I haven't had that much fun with a football game in ages. So fucking good.



WHAT. THE. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. Seriously.

:D PES is made for poor southern European countries. Enjoy it, fellas!

<3 i'm kidding. i love you all

Dragon Age Inquisition is pretty cool. I've barely scratched the surface though so I have yet to really see what the game has to offer. It seems like a gigantic game—not always a good thing, mind, but so far the quality has been consistently high.

That awful jutter in cut scenes needs to go though, ASAP.

This can be fixed on PC I believe.

Chelsea and their devil magic. It's bullshit man.
 
People caught playing 'Rule Britannia' on a fucking trumpet should be locked up.

Forever.

Apropos, this made me laugh:

I agree with Lightning, Lukas offers us nothing in terms of general play, he's not quick enough nor is his movement good enough to really contribute much. He's effectively our James Milner (without the effort and which is replaced by a left boot). I mean he can score goals and will always score goals but thats not enough for me.

And Welbeck isnt great... as yet, when that boy learns how to play between lines, make better runs and improve his finishing. I reckon he could overtake Sturridge.

In other words...when he learns how to be a striker.

Picking up 3 injuries without playing a match is fucking ridiculous. Finding it hard to apportion any blame to Hodgson and the England setup now, its becoming clear that he's simply made out of wet toilet roll. He'd be picking these injuries up no matter what.

How the fuck does a thigh strain turn into 3 and a half months out?
