I remember when Germans thought Balotelli was world class just because he scored 2 goals against us in 2012. Shitting their pants.

Even though it was obvious that he was just mediocre. He always was. Yes, he scored some goals here and there. But so Crouch and Demba Ba.
But Neuer doesn't so I don't understand why he was nominated for the balloon door.

I wonder where Liverpool would be now if they swapped Suarez for Sanchez and Fabregas.

I reckon 7th place

In the alternate universe where Sanchez and Fabregas allow themselves to be make weights in a swap deal and an alternate universe where they would actually go to Liverpool?


What an absurd alternate universe that is.
 
What shows are those

And don't be silly, ain't nobody got time to flip pages

Flash, Arrow, Person of Interest, Blacklist.
Madam Secretary

I got one episode of Homeland to look forward to watching.

Everything else I like is even finished, cancelled, or a new season starts in January.

I have such a massive backlog to fill that void. Nothing to worry about. Mid-season breaks though, blegh.


I might try working on my gaming backlog, and there are a few animes I want to watch, but American/UK TV show are pretty much done.

Haha, at Birmingham making a top 10 on any list. As someone who lived in London for 22 years, not once did I ever feel the urge to visit Birmingham. I can't imagine why anyone would want to visit there quite frankly.

Okay, I need help. What's the easiest and most efficient way to migrate all your data to a new phone? I used to just swap the sim and reinstall/reconfigure everything. Is there a better way?

I don't think I've ever lived in a place where I felt I'd be stabbed at any moment like I did with Birmingham

...hate me...
1am here man, a bit late lol.

I got to 18-1-1 W/D/L on a new account on FIFA, FootballFan-senpai.

I hope you notice me.

The L came from a bloke who was apparently doing the same as he also only had a few matches, almost only wins :(

it's actually a pretty friendly place on a night out. You'd think you'd get stabbed, but i've had more violent interactions in Leamington than I have in Birmingham.

Can't take the accent seriously, though :)

Best FIFA game ever was me and one of the guys on my course against two of our tutors. We were 3-0 up, started pissing around, they got it back to 3-3, we won on penalties. I was shitting bricks at the end though haha

Yep!

Have you missed my previous post? Maybe you can give me advice!

There is lots of great introductory reading for new players. You can just start playing games. You'll probably lose and be confused at first but you'll catch on.

I think you gotta try jumping in the pool before you learn how to swim.
