Currently home for the holidays. Dealing with two members of my family who don't know how to shut up SHUT UP OH GOD FOR THE LOVE OF FUCK SHUT UP FOR FIVE MINUTES JUST PLEASE JESUS GOOOODDDDDD. It's constant yelling and bickering, and its over stupid shit, and its petty and I'm having difficulty just dealing with it. Lunatics running the fucking asylum. Now I know how Di Matteo felt.... Nobody is willing to give in a mm, and I've had to yell numerous occasions just to restore some fucking sanity in this place. They just straight up don't give a single fuck that its the holidays because WAHHHHHHHHH.

But then Messi's loss reminds me that this is family and I have to love them, but also FUCK THEM SO BADLY.

Fuck. You know?

This is why I hate Christmas.

Just mm and smile your way through it, don't bother yelling at anyone. :p

Yes, but there's a major flaw in his plan. Now with Barca 16 points clear at the top, they'll turn their attention to Europe as well.

Why are you comparing us with the wrong Madrid? We are only 9 points ahead of title challengers Atletico :p

Nah I know what you mean lol.

Malaga are 2 points behind Madrid now too. Based Pellegrini.

I hate when i have to see my mom's family. They just crack jokes about football/soccer. If some of them ask me a legit question about football its always about man utd.

Let's just sum it up for every club:

Man Utd - linked with every striker and winger in the world. Sign no one. Strootman and Wanyama move to other clubs, Januzaj on a free to Juventues
Man City - linked with Falcao. Sign Walcott
Chelsea - Benitez declares Torres is the only man to take them forward. Voronin brought in as Sturridge Replacement
Liverpool - Sign Sturridge... for £30milllion
Arsenal - Wenger signals his intention to spend big to correct the squad failings. Buys 2 teenagers for £15million
Newcastle - linked with several talented players from Ligue 1, buys some joker from Eredivisie
Tottenham - Levy suggests no more wheeling and dealin' with Harry gone. AVB declares interest in every player in the world

any others?

Roy Hodgson says it is not impossible for England to win the 2014 World Cup and vowed to "keep that dream alive".

"Not impossible" is not "the dream", Roy.

He really is the most acutely uninspiring man in football.

It's not even hype, though.

It's the enthusiasm of the kind of man who keeps a tea cosy collection. Impossible to imagine the players giving much of a toss, emotionally, about what he says.

I personally don't think taking that attitude is a bad idea --why would you enter any competition if you are just gonna strive for mediocrity? The problem comes from making it public and generating incredibly high expectations which in itself turns into unnecessary pressure for the players and public outcry when the failure to attain such an objective is met. It's the kind of talk that should never leave the dressing room.

We don't have to worry about Malaga. They are banned from European competitions the next 4 years, so if Malaga ends up #4 and we as #5, we will go through.

The England Cycle

- England cruise through qualification stage through against teams like San Marino and Moldova. The hype train begins – “England can win <enter tournament here>!”

- Lead up to the tournament. Media in full frenzy. England heralded as one of the favorites. “Greatest generation since 66!”

- England stumbles and bumbles through the group stages against average teams. Doubt begins to rise, but the belief is still there.

- Upon facing an above average team, England lose. Most likely on penalties. Team blasted for being chokers. Manager fired. Talk about needing to rebuild the team from scratch, preparing for the next tournament.

I watched Reading vs ManCity and about half of QPR and New Castle United. For some reason I recorded a bunch of games on Saturday.

I wouldn't mind a new CB in January.

Rio is nearing the end of his career and who knows what Vidic will be like upon his return. That would leave us with Evans, Smalling and Jones. And I wouldn't be 100% comfortable with Jones at CB. I think that will be his position in the long term but right now he plays his best football at right back. And that's Rafaels position.

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much
Chelsea want Assou-Ekotto? If Levy agrees to that transfer I will kill myself.

Why are you doing this to me? :p

Also, its Newcastle. I prefer New Castle though, and am gonna start using it :D

edit: Definitely no Huntelaar though. Became more of a pipe dream when Schalke qualified from their group, ah well. I'm more disappointed than I thought I'd be, since Sturridge will be filling that hole in the squad that I'd hoped was reserved for the Huntsman

I've been sitting here for a few minutes trying to work out what metric they could possibly have used to come to the conclusion that Neymar is a 'better' footballer than Busquets, Xabi Alonso or Özil.

Well they each ranked players 1-30 with 1st given 30 points, 2nd 29 points and so on.

But the results it gives are just a bit stupid.

I fail to understand how can you even compare a defender with a striker and say he's a better footballer
it would have been much better if they made a list of top players on each position.
