Hiring Lambert was always going to guarantee you ship lots of goals. The thing is that Lambert's Norwich also scored a lot, too. This season you've only got one goal threat in Benteke, and not enough attacking impetus from wingers and midfielders. Holman hasn't really done the job.

In an alternate Universe somewhere Ronaldo is a Barca player.

I've got loooooads of Japanese friends but I feel a bit awkward about asking them. Especially since they'll set yes anyway even if they don't want to cuz they're Japanese. >_>
Just get a textbook, learn a bit on your own (I recommend GENKI published by Japan Times), and ask your friends to answer individual questions. Then, when you feel like you know enough to have a conversation, go out somewhere like a museum or shopping and ask if you can do like 1 hr where you only speak Japanese, no English. They'll be happy to help, I'm sure.

They chose Quaresma instead. That's hilarious.
He had a lot of potential though. Some of the things he did were mind boggling. Dude fucked his entire career due to his shit personality. That's what makes guys like Ronaldo special.
Ronaldo was just a (poor) Quaresma wannabe back then.

Cancelled my Japanese lesson today so I can sit at home and play Dota 2 after work.

Quaresma is only good on youtube montages, probably the most useless player we ever signed(i'm an expert etc..lol), his problem wasn't only his attitude/personality but the fact he was simply shit, he only thinks of doing that stupid trivela instead of actually playing football.

Bunch of great football games today. Hope the underdogs win today, West Ham, Swansea and Roma!
Some players are just arseholes - Talented arseholes but they always manage to fuck up what talent they have. Sad to see people throw away a career that most would kill for.
I hope inter win so that they'll fuck up in the weekend against us!

They were pretty different. Quaresma was a bit more of a Figo with tricks wannabe. Like Nani.
Yeah. I a still angry/baffled we have not bought any midfielders this window.
zidane dedicated his championsleague final volley to his mentor, Quaresma

I had a discussion with one of the villa fans here about Holman when they were in the process of signing him.
Told him that he was shit and would pretty much just run around like a headless chicken getting in the way of the real players.
It's sad for villa that I was right unfortunately.
I have a professional teacher who I meet twice a week, and I recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind paying.

Seems like Ronaldo was being shopped around then. Wenger claims to have met his mother to discuss a possible move before Utd finally signed him. Sir Alex also confirms the player was getting offers from other clubs before he finally moved to Manchester. It kinda makes you think how it would have turned out if these transfers had taken place.
Ibra to Arsenal
Henry to Man Utd
Ronaldo to Barcelona

Quaresma's outside-of-the-boot crosses were amazing. Shame what has happened to him.
ibrahimovic would've wasted half of his career winning nothing like rvp
henry would've been at pele-maradona level
ronaldo would be bulkier and slower and turn fat later in life due to growth hormones from la masia

What a cunt. Who would rub it into someones face after being up 5-0.
You forgot the biggest possible-transfer of all times.
Would be glorious , and we don't need to rely on the ever injured RVP . Probably could have won few trophies these 7 years . Arsenal fans here btw .
Maybe playing with a squad of gutless circus midgets somehow contributed to RVP's injury rate.
He's been the picture of health for us.

Your jibe lacks the truth-stone it needs to weigh it down in the land of sense, and has floated into the mists of nonsense. He was fit for the entirety of last season, playing with the aforementioned gutless circus midgets
See a doctor. You post like Arnie.

You're just happy because when he hits his prime posting years he'll just go over to Barca.

Looking forward to your smashing?
Shame Sturridge won't be dancing in front of your ultras
Sterling will have to do

You haven't done so yet, but then again not every gooner is as loyal as you. Or maybe you just haven't hit your prime yet.

As I said during the game, deserved draw. Juve are crazy to think they can get past Cana and Marchetti with more than half their first team not playing.
My bitch for today:
Go to buy Mad Men season 3, go to the usual cheapest place. They have:
Mad Men Season 1, Season 2, Season 4 and Season 5.
Every other place has it for 20$ more. I'll just order it online I guess.

I got the majority of the grammar learned. I just need to practice my listening skills and vocabulary. Thinking in the language is the hard part.
I'm thinking about doing pen pal shit.

Well we did look absolutely dire against Shakhtar yesterday which doesn't instill much confidence. Plus Criscito is injured, Bruno Alves is suspended and Yanbaev was recalled from his loan by Loko, so we basically have no defense. Still though, I don't think we'll lose at home, we never have in Europe during the winter. Your boys will freeze their balls off.Looking forward to your smashing?

Plus our ultras don't care about your black players, they just don't want them in our team. They want some sort of Athletic Bilbao type set-up where only local players play for the team. Provided they have the proper sexual orientation of course.
Buy Akinfeev to replace Valdes and I'd consider it
I'm planning to hit my prime at the World Cup as Russia steamroll their way to victory. Wouldn't mind it if your All Whites were part of that warpath.
Grammar is shockingly dense. On the surface it appears algebraic and simple, but even when understanding the formula there are different connotations and meanings that arise even when using the same words. I still struggle with it I've found reading to be the easiest by far even considering kanji

Would they accept a black player whose grandparents lived in St Petersburg?
United winning a title.
Barca winning a title.
Arsenal not winning a title and selling Ibra.
I don't know about that, they did absolutely nothing in the game. They came to park the bus and it almost worked. Vidal should have scored two goals at least.
Sviatoslav

Possibly, but that is a very theoretical question since there are very few blacks in Russia but being half Russian didn't help Peter Odemwingie with some some of the Loko fans.
But in the case that you're speaking of, if this theoretical player was from St. Pete's and came up through the academy then yes I think that group of fans would accept him.

But did Vidal deserve those goals ?

I'm kidding lol, it was a dull game and if deserved* exists in football then yeah Juve did deserve* it more.
*gotta watch out with that word on FootballGAF. I'm not part of the deserve crew but there is one, and there is an anti-deserve crew too. They deserve each other.

I always watch replays of great games, even if Barca lose(the game where Arsenal beat us in the emirates is a good example).
