Dat Cristiano.

Playboy offered me so much money last year. I was like, No way!"
I really, really fucking wish Mourinho would start giving Jese/Morata a run of la liga games. The leagues lost, so why not use it to test out the cantera?

That was all because of this shitty McLaren dude who thought it would be smart to bench him for Friedrich who then fucked off to the MLS.
I'm sure I will find some time to post here. But I probably won't be able to watch the cup game against dortmund next week
Don't worry, you will find out at your own leisure
Taking off Morata in the 28th minute after he scored was some shameful shit.
And goddamn, Irina is a beaut.

Stuart Robson is such a cunt

I hated that when I was studying in China...
Turning on the comuter in the morning. Going to bild.de. See the result.
Kaiserslautern 2:0 Bayern
The fuck? That was the first championship season for Dortmund and since I couldnt watch many games I had no idea what the fuck was happening in Germany

WTF?
My brother's channel-hopping, and Film4 are shpwing some Lassie film with Peter Dinklage. One second he was doing an Olde English accent, then he suddenly changed to a bad Irish impression

That's awesome. What part of China are you going to?
Are you going there for pleasure or work?
?
Don't quote that assface's picture.
my gf is doing her master degree over there. so I'm doing it for the pleasure
im going to dalian which is in northern china! also where i studied and met het some years ago (shes mexican, not chinese).Volkswagen team needed Italian motors to be champions (Benaglio, Barzagli and Zaccardo) in 2009. They all three had an immediate impact and were brilliant during their career there.

Couldn't be helped though, we've got the shitty ref calls and history of Ramos being a dick to blame. Felt bad, man.
Oh god, tell me that's not Messi's girl. You did not just start a CR7 vs Messi WAG fight :lol
NO, leave that for After-dark. How am I supposed to read GAF at Uni?
That is what it boils to, for you and Footballfan. I wish FootballFan would stop defending blindly some of the Barca JTs. Even he knows that the team is full of them.pulga said:
Interesting. That was with Grafite and Dzeko up top yeah?
According to Meus logic, Bayern should have won the CL final in 99 because they played well for 90 minutes (let's just ignore the final 3 minutes). It's seriously flawed logic.
You cannot dispute the league table. It's impossible.

lol you can't have a go at faridmon for spelling words right. That's just not fair!
Yes. And Josué was at his peak too, and was part of the Brazilian IX along the likes of Kaka and Pato. So much talent from those years went wasted with time, it is sad.
Still better than Benitez.
That awesome football that Madrid fans deserve.
The league table isn't a perfect metric for performance and quality because you have external factors like refereeing decisions, injuries etc.

Pun of yesterday: Kroos missile
Leaving PSG? That'd be a surprise, even if it is Madrid.

No, it accumulative set of results that is good enough to be judged by the quality of a team, regardless of any internal factor.

99 times in 100 the best team win the league. Its not an absolutely reliable piece of evidence as to a team's quality though, for a number of reasons

Mourinho wants to be the best. You do not become the best by rotting in Ligue 1.
I don't even know if you believe everything you say in this newly-found shtick anymore.
Mourinho is going back to the EPL.

This always bothers me.
Wenger really hasn't done much with Arsenals academy. He buys youngsters at 17/18 and puts them in the reserves or the first team. Very, very few academy players have actually made the step up to regular first team level.
He's excellent at nurturing young talent. They usually don't come from Arsenal's academy though.
Leonardo? He's like Vieira at City, glorified mascot with a ridiculously fat paycheck. We already know he's a terrible manager so I dunno where he'd go.
I highly doubt Mournho will go to Paris. He'll probably set his sights on building another lasting PL team.
Madrid already have a decent academy though. You're just hacking away at a straw man at this point.

Who else here agrees that the above is flawed?
The team that scores more goals deserves to win. The only time that's not the case is glaring refereeing errors or unfair play, etc.

Well fuck I don't know who I want then.
Can we have Klopp? He seems awesome ;_;
Why would I waste my time asking for a coach for that shitty club -___-
I was going to edit that post and say that Meus would have a better argument if he could point to several egregious refereeing decisions that directly cost Arsenal points in 07/08, but he isn't even making that point.
As for injuries, football is now a squad game and clubs spend millions in sports science, physiotherapy, recovery programs etc, which reduces (but does not eliminate) the chance of a club suffering particularly badly with injuries.
Gary Neville also talked about how United players are able to stay in the ear of a referee, interact with them and generally curry favour, whereas other teams are not experienced or canny enough to do it as well as United.
There are of course external factors, but I'm a strong believer that they generally even themselves out over the course of the season. But there is also an element of teams making their own luck like how I described. Some teams just can't even help themselves sometimes, like how Arsenal allow their players to run their contracts down to the last year, which creates media pressure and scrutiny.
It's not a perfect metric, but it's pretty close, and nothing else even comes close.
