Hahahaha I don't know why but that has just had me laughing my head off.

Watching Football Focus at work. Michael Owen is a guest...oh god.
Even more reason not to watch that crap.
They just completely embarrassed him by showing Piers Morgan taking the piss out of him. :lol
Pulga, you'll be living in Rome soon. Start learning the roman dialect! Here are some expressions you'll need to understand as a juventino living nella capitale: "Rigore paa Riomma!!!", "Aho', ma era foriggiocco!", "Er solito complotto!", "Er gol de Turone era bbono!"
I don't understand Italian, but I'm sure someone is cursing.

Did you try PAD? Seems inconsistent verging on poor, from what Kyoufu's said

Fair enough to say 'competent midfield stop-gap?'
edit: We Are The Champions is such a shit song
PAD has been great for me, but I use it exclusively with my iPad.

It's the only PL match tomorrow and it's not on UK tv?

It was moved at pretty short notice when Swansea reached the CC final and we were both knocked out of the FA Cup I think. The channels have other matches/live programming scheduled, and its the only day that really makes sense for the clubs and fans. Annoying but understandable in the context of the Brits having the most difficulty accessing their own league matches because of attendance fears
It was great for me initially, but then I encountered a problem that prevented me from watching anything on my Mac, so I didn't resubscribe. Had no qualms with the quality of it, just that I couldn't watch anything. Interestingly the problem occurred, or at least I first noticed it, on January 1st.
Still seems a bit odd. They moved a few reality shows and CSI NY (or Miami) here in order to fit the match in. There'll only be 5 minutes of pre-match coverage - something I'm completely fine with. At least I get to enjoy it in glorious HD.
In a pair, in games where our midfield actually operates up the pitch, against tough-ish opposition, I think he'd struggle. Potentially really struggle.
He's much preferable there to post-illness Fletcher - who worried me quite a bit, as pleased as I was to see him having a crack. He's a physical beast, his recovering runs are special, he can draw a couple of players to himself when he runs with the ball, and he worries teams when he overlaps down the side.
But yeah. Only an emergency option if we're expecting a full range of midfield play from someone.
Pure fucking divs saying he should be in the midfield for all our big games. HE'LL GET BUGGERED. I rate him, I really do. And I recognise that ClevGOD is an imperfect creature. But I can't see Phil passing/turning his way out of a well-composed pressing game. I can't. And that's fundamental.

I'd quite like a system where Sky gets dibs on these hastily rescheduled games, and streams them for Sky customers with no buildup or commentary. Everyone wins
Unmarked police car responding to an emergency call.
Nani might be a plonker, but I would speculate that the police car is the more likely to have been driving fast/erratically.
Still can't fathom how the lad I played against on a slanted, boggy pitch in Leyland started against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.
He played as a striker that day (given his technical superiority to almost everyone), played in midfield against Real, and made his name professionally as a centre back. Fluid motherfucker.

A lot of pro footballers who end up in defence start as strikers I've noticed.
Apart from Kevin Phillips who started as a right back which would have been a fucking travesty.
Who are we talking about? I missed it.
I really wouldn't mind if we had sufficiently fuck-off-brilliant wingers to be able to install mean, relatively-limited-mobility bastards at LB and RB. Quick enough to chase, but just positionally-disciplined hard cunts.

I just can't imagine somebody with Carragher's robotic movement and lack of technique and technical ability playing up front. He must have grown quicker than everyone else in his age group to the point that he was used as a target man
Sol Campbell and Linvoy Primus both played for the same team as a striking duo.
But he did well against Real fucking Madrid at Bernabeau few opponents are tougher than them.
But yea i do agree with you. Playing him the mid field completely kills our momentum due to his lack of passing ability and hampers our creativity. But against opponents like Barca where a more physical game is needed he would be extremely competent and help us quite a bit.
Its weird how last season it was Smalling who was apparently in God mode and now Jones is stepping up and doing a very good job.
