Its easy to say I don't dislike him anymore now that he's shit, but I'm not enjoying it any more. He did a lot for us, and it turns out his moving to Chelsea didn't really disadvantage us at all, assuming he'd have been as bad for us as he was for them. There came a point where it just became depressing thinking about his situation compared to how good he used to be, not helped by the way he looks like he's had his soul ripped out of him.

And honestly, a lot of his career trajectory should be blamed on us for rushing him back from injuries so often.

I've said it before, but it was insane for people to be turning their noses up at guaranteed goals. People wanted Suarez's flair replaced when we needed someone to do a job replacing his goals. And Bony's general ability on the ball is underrated as well, he's not a 5-a-side goalhanger

Especially bizarre when some of those same fans celebrated Balotelli's signing as though we'd pulled a genius piece of transfer activity, disregarding the fact that he was horrendous for City in his last season, is generally pretty brass, and creates more problems than he solves.

If we'd bought Bony, we'd have had to change the way we played from last season for sure, but we've had to do that anyway for Balotelli and Lambert, with fuck all reward to show from it, from them individually, or the team/results as a whole.

Porto only got 18M so far ;_;

Juve get a bigger slice of the pie when the other Italian teams fuck up

As the only Italian team to get to the knockouts, that's a lot of TV money that goes to them exclusively. I don't really understand why they get more as well as Roma and Napoli getting less though.

Fuck you, PL. I already can't watch Monday night games and I've basically resigned myself to having a shit day if I have to wake up at 3am to watch a CL match.

So we could be looking at over half of the games per week being on TV. 1 Friday then the usual 4 scattered between Saturday and Monday?

Not sure.

What I am sure of is the price for Sky and BT is about to go up again, though.

They're not going to significantly increase the number of games on TV

Only 14 more games a season.

Dybala was fucking horrible for almost half the season, then just started scoring crazy amount of goals in all games.

In my FM14 game, Dybala stank in Serie B and in the first season after promotion. Then he engaged God mode and led the team for the next decade, becoming Palermo's Del Piero. I think my Palermo save in FM14 was probably my favorite ever. By 2020 I basically had a starting XI that had 9 Italian superstars, with three of them actually from Palermo. Bollino was nuts too, far outperforming his ability year after year.

Santanaldo. But Cristiano is a selfish egotistical monster underwear seller, who only focuses on himself and kills for the sake of winning.

Cristiano Ronaldo wanted to thank his teammates for the effort made to conquer La Décima last season and gave them a personalized watch with their name and the words "la décima" on the back of it. The Portuguese player often does similar things with the coaching staff, as reported this past summer, when he went shopping and bought each one of them -- more than 50 people involved on the trip -- an iPad.

I always end up buying half of South American as Palermo, I just can't help myself. Bollino has done me very well in FM14 too though.

I'd do the same if I had his salary

I'll probably buy all of you Lamborghinis too

Except Shanks, he gets one of those lousy Ferrari's he loves so much

Gervinho 'hates Arsenal'

“He [Wenger] never had confidence in me,” Gervinho is reported as telling African media by Gazzetta dello Sport.

“Garcia doesn’t differentiate between those who are playing and those who aren’t playing. That’s important for a player.

“He doesn’t only speak to those who are playing, he talks to everyone as there are 25 players in the squad, not just 11.

“As a child I dreamed of playing for Arsenal, because I loved them.

“Now I hate them for the way Wenger treated me.

It's an emergency. I have to risk it. Which one of the big teams are likely to choke this weekend?

What kind of odds are you looking for, which is to say, how much $$$ are you putting on the line to get the 5000$?

Anyway, just be aware that it's pure gambling. It's not a small risk that you'll lose your money. That's the expected outcome. You can win of course, and it's more likely than winning the lotto, but it's still highly unlikely.
