Of course he is. He'll only leave once he's had all the money he can get and his contract runs out.

Dat football/soccer thread.
I hate those threads. Nfl fans will say american football is better. Football fans will say football is better. And each set of fans will make stupid incorrect statement and assumptions about the other sport.
No point.

who said there was a point? We all know football is better, people like american football because they were raised in it but at least the current format of it is pure shit. Basketball is the only decent american sport

I love the NFL. Great sport to just watch with some buddies. You don't have to have much of an attention span to keep up with it so you can chat shit and catch up. I always watch one game a week with my mates.
But watching live at the stadium is a bore. To stop/start. Give me 90 minutes of constant motion anytime.

Someone give me good tips on interviews pls, got a BIG one tomorrow.
Study up on the company, when it started, who is in charge etc
Always express directly or indirectly how your experiences and achievements overlap with the requirements of the particular job.
Be clear on why you want the position
Make eye contact
and SMILE (not excessively in a creepy way though)
No one wants to see the same team win over and over again every single year.

Look and sound cheerful. Friendliness goes a long way.
Act confident.
When you enter the room, shake his hand while maintaining eye contact. Smile.
If you get all this three right, you'll get the job (if your resume is up to par)

I've been reading the company's latest annual report, vision, mission, and all that beeswax. My experiences don't really directly overlap with anything as this company is in a completely different business than what I'm used to, but I think I have a pretty good idea on how to indirectly link my shit with theirs.
I want the position because I want money :lol What the hell else am I supposed to say? Mmmm...maybe some bullshit on how I want to learn and grow side by side with them, with the aim of becoming a valuable member of the company?
I think I'm gonna jerk a couple of ones out before going into the interview, relax myself. Yeah, I've been watching "Wolf of Wall Street" today. D: Thanks m8er
pls you make it sound so easy

It is :/
Interviews are to see if a person is worth working with. No one wants to work with an asshole.

If its a sales job then your desire to make money will get you the job on the spot, but interviewers aren't stupid, of course you want money, who doesn't?
but it can't be your ONLY motivation.
Try and talk about what you like about the particular position what it allows you to do that you may enjoy...

Thanks <3 I hope so!!
In the spirit of job interview talk (good luck Pulga), I can't wait until I'm older and doing something not stereotypical of Teenagers work-wise.
Note: I am a cashier at Target for the time being since I realized that it is sort of hard to go a few months or so in the US and have no money ever.
But yeah, seriously, I am destined for so much more and I don't think I can take wasting my time like this too much longer. Need experience to get a real job later though, I guess. Woo.
As a side note, I have become so aggravated with the stupid Alex from Target bs from a few months ago, it has completely ruined my job, assuming it was tolerable before. Apparently I share some features with him and I am just so fucking tired of people asking to take pictures with me for the fun of it. Americans are crazy people.

It probably helps that I'm 17.

Hearing Wenger talk about the Man City reinforces my belief that we are a small team.
How many times has he come out with stuff like that after an important win and not built on it? We beat Man City with a good defensive performance, but it will mean nothing if we don't play like that week in and out. 90 minutes doesn't make a season.
We have shown we have the ability and now I want to see us cut out the errors for the rest of the season. We will get beat again and we will concede goals, but at least if we can play like that then it will take a special effort for a team to beat us, instead of us just giving a side three easy points.

But what if you are not? Embrace it dude, be the best darn cashier you can be
. I believe in you.Most likely some guy who keeps get mistaken with Probity from Target
An American social media phenomenon that lasted like 2 weeks where some guy that is a cashier for Target named Alex had a picture of him taken while bagging beyond his knowledge and it was posted on Twitter. Since he looks attractive or something at the angle, he blew up quick overnight and since he lives in Texas, had a lasting effect on all the people somewhat close by, like where I am currently.
He ended up drawing so much attention to the store that stock rose a little but he was fired due to the calamity of weird teenage girls swarming the store.
Here is the picture:

If I am not then fuck. I'm a pretty damn good cashier though, not to brag much. I have the highest ratings besides these two cheaters in the ranks that only get good surveys and stuff because one is a sweet old lady
who is secretly evil when not on the job,
The ironic thing is, I could potentially get terminated due to a weak company policy, which means all my pointless numbers and struggles with stupid 14 year old girls has been for naught.
So when Origi is in the team in the summer and we have an attacking line-up of Sturridge, Origi, Coutinho, Sterling, Lallana & Markovic... I'd say we've got a pretty nice looking team. Presumably we'll be bringing in a player on the level of what we wanted last summer with Sanchez, and the Sunday Times is reporting that Liverpool (among others) are looking at Falcao. Assuming the deal we'd potentially get is a little more grounded than what United agreed to, I'd be very much for that deal. Think Falcao has been used poorly by Van Gaal, or perhaps more so that he just doesn't fit the system he wants them to play. Falcao taking Suarez's old spot in the front 3 of Sterling/Suarez/Sturridge would have huge potential.
The other potential top class attackers I'd love to see us go for would be Lacazette, Dybala and Vietto, though I could see Chelsea swinging in to take Lacazette as a replacement for Remy, and Dybala could easily go to a team better than us, with more money and higher aspirations, leaving Vietto as the most realistic of those three options (and someone who we've allegedly been scouting for some time).
Rodgers pls, reinforce the battleship ;_;

Pretty cool. A timelapse video of a containership getting it's cargo in Rotterdam before going to open sea. Takes about a whole day to get all the containers on board.

Ans people say Italian football is dead.
I'd disregard that Falcao report if I were you.
Duncan Castles is a very, very bad source for these things,

Tony Barrett confirming Origi's not coming until the summer.
Never made much sense.

Tbh I wouldn't like Falcao to go to another PL club anyway. I don't think he's as bad as some are making out. He's getting into the right areas to score, but it's just not coming off for him right now. But that can change in an instant and he could easily go on a massive scoring run.

I don't really understand how a lack of relegation leads to less predictability at the top
@odd, we need to start climbing the table pretty fucking quickly to attract those players.

The biggest issue with Falcao is the price and his wages.
You just don't want to spend that amount of cash on someone that "needs time" or "might come good".
Plus with his recent injury and the age that he's at it just doesn't make much sense.
For that kind of money (including wages) you can get a couple of top class players in their mid 20's who can have an immediate impact.

If he was given a run of games I think he'll start banging them in but because of the amount of money his on people expect him to just come in and adapt straight away.
Meh, you see players, especially sub-25 talents, move all the time to teams that aren't challenging for top honors in PL teams. Give them game time, give them a good manager, and convince them that they'll thrive in your system, and it can be done. It's not as if Vietto, for example, is an Eden Hazard. He's been playing for Villareal for all of 8 months now, and didn't have an exemplary record in Argentina before moving over. Dybala and Lacazette would be harder sells, but both would still be entirely possible, depending on what other teams are barking up that tree.
I had no idea the Times article re: Falcao was written by Duncan Castles. Dude is hopeless. Still think given his agent's comments that Falcao won't be staying at United. He was being shopped around in the summer and United were the only ones to bite... if we took a second look and decided it was worth a go this time, then it wouldn't be impossible.
We're playing well without him and a 19-year old player coming in without a pre-season and being asked to be the difference in a CL spot challenge isn't a good plan by any stretch.

Not sure Falcao would go to yet another non-CL team at this stage of his career. Surprised he even came to us.
