This page has slowed to a crawl due to the gif overload and Chrome. Poor Chrome.

This is pretty great -- from Roma's owner (an American!) in response to some comments from Lazio's owner:

Looool.
Its been going for days between them 😂 it's so fucking hilarious :lol it all started with Totti's selfie :lol (remember that it was a derby between them)

Lotito is a fucking shit head BUT he is right, their finances are a fucking mess and they were warned by UEFA.

Meier, please tell me you're watching Fox and heard Wynalda let Lalas and Barton talk about West Ham/Everton, and then just chime in with "get Alex Song off. He's bad" and then say nothing else.

Dortmund GAF would you be happy to sell us (arsenal) Ilkay for 16 million?

I'm only interested if he goes through the most hardcore medical ever faced by a player in the history of any sport. I wanna see him dead lift 240kg and have assessed by the worlds best chiropractors. If satisfied I think the move could be good for everyone.

He would probably die of injuries if he joined Arsenal.

They're sending Gomez to Swansea

Knee injury, missed a WC winning run and then flopped in Serie A of all leagues

I'm...worried about him

HAHAHA, nope, just listening to some Decemberists instead. That is wonderful though and absolutely the level of analysis I'd expect from Wynalda. It's terrifying that they're getting the next World Cup. If NBC loses the Premier League, I'll cry.

Sassuolo B are doing alright against Milan, only one goal down. If they bring on Zazo and Mimmo-kun in the second half, they can still turn this around.

Guardian saying we're close to getting Bielik now.

Dick Law came through.

Dick Law is a legend.

Just remembered we play City on Sunday. Of all the top teams we usually perform best against them. Really should have won at the Emirates this season.

I'll be happy with a draw at the emptyhad.

That goal felt like it was coming. I could do with penalties though.

That would be terrible. NBC's sports coverage is second to none. NFL, NHL, fucking horse racing. Their HD is light years ahead of Fox and CBS. It's embarrassing.

Aguero back, Kompany back but no Yaya. I still think we'll win, but could see Alexis and Cazorla posing problems. Is Giroud still banned?
 
What's West Hams secret to their better form this season? Don't they have pretty much the same team as last year? Is Alex Song a wizard? Or was the threat of getting sacked what finally made Big Sam get up from the chair?

Nope, last week was his first game back.

Not sure what lineup we will see.

Ozil, Ramsey and Theo are all back but I expect either Theo or Ozil will be on the bench for Santi.

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much
Why slide in when you've already been booked?

Stambouli did the same thing for us against Palace. He somehow didn't get sent off but why even attempt that kind of tackle when you're on a yellow.

Remember Costa Rica's antics at the World Cup? That's what going on.

With our lack of rotation we unfortunately kind of need those week long gaps at the moment! Would like a January signing to ease the load on Cesc and Matic.

Mou does not rotate, he grinds you into the ground and the replaces you. the special tactics.

They're playing a system that suits almost everyone down to a t, and Downing is in the form of his life. Valancia and Sahko are really good players, which is having a rub off effect on Andy Carroll causing him to score goals like he did last weekend. Alex song is a solid Europa league player, mate they are what Everton used to be. Just a really good ten playing to their strengths.
 
Big Sam I'll give you. But West Ham? We're the little team that could.

I'm Crystal Palace fan, and if you're that, then wtf are we? :) I've more seen you as the team that should, but most very often didn't. ;)

Big Sam is charming. He's a huge cunt and doesn't give a fuck, the way he reacted to Mourinho's comments were amazing too. What a man.

He's funny to watch, when you have some distance to him, but if he went anywhere near my beloved Palace I would f*cking scream.
