During the period between your first and our second, Spurs were fantastic.

Just seen the winner of us and United play City in the next round... getting a bit sick of playing Manchester teams, we'll have played United 5 times by the end of the season.
And City 4 if we get through.

It is indeed.
Aye.
First season: Italian Cup.
Second: Scudetto
Third: Italian Cup and Scudetto
Fourth: 2nd in the league at Christmas, Udinese first. Got Shaktahr in the knockout of CL.

Picked up Lord of the Flies this Friday at the library but fuck physical copies! I'm going to download an ebook version.

Watching Pool/Spurs highlights.
First goal was so good. Suarez has to be PotY now. Fuck the awards they're bollocks anyway. RVP will need to find his form again if he's to get the nod from me.
Fucking Suarez...

I think it also helps that our defenders seem to have sorted out their positioning when it comes to crosses. For a while we were leaving players unmarked or doubling up on the same man for no reason.
That's weak son.

Let's hold hands and pray that Pep is watching him play.

Nah. I'd rather Suarez stays. If Liverpool were gonna be challenging us for the title then I would want him gone but for now I'm happy he's in the league.
Today's game was another reflection of the poor quality of our league. Really can't think of many games between the "top" sides which were played to a high standard this season.
Also Fuck Bayern.

Didn't know Messi broke the league record for scoring goals in consecutive games. 17 games in a row at least 1 goal. The record he broke was made in 1937 lol.
PS3 for the free exclusive DLC!LOL I can't bro. I wish I could.
Would you like to tell me why I've started Hitman Absolution?
After the intro level this does not feel like a Hitman game
Edit: Btw, Xbox or PS3 for Metal Gear? I read online Xbox is better.
There's no online in Rising so it won't matter.

What more can I do?
I keep getting mullered by Barca in the CL.
Pep couldn't manage Suarez.
Spurs certainly dominated for long spells and it was obvious AVB's plan was to starve us of possession and it had a big impact on our play.
For me though all of this ''Oh we had it in the bag before a silly mistake'' is being a little biased. Both of your goals came from the delicate flower that is Gareth Bale getting free kicks that weren't fouls.
Our second was flukey as fuck but we took the lead on merit from a brilliant bit of play - Not from two non free kicks.
Had a look back and see a few people moaning about Joe Allen coming on.......The crowd were a bit unsure at the time as well but the lad evened it up in the middle and stopped Dembele from dancing around the pitch acting the hard man.
Let's see how you feel when Suarez causes you to drop points next season as Newcastle win the league on goal difference.
Yeah son. What now?

The only one that comes to mind immediately.
Definitely the only one involving us anyway. I suppose our game with Spurs at OT was kinda good.
I've missed a few of the "Super Sunday" games though.

I know it's your birthday but let's not get crazy.
Cisse must have made your day. I'm quite annoyed because Cameron was heading for a FF clean sheet which didn't come through for me and in the process Morsel got some assist points for Sissoko, but because I love you I'll let it slide.
The fb comments about Lana Del Rey were good too.

Are you playing with La Liga as a playable league? Cos you could just Add Manager, call yourself pulga and totally eviscerate the Barca squad the week before you play them.
I've never done anything like this before, of course.
But you could do it.
The VR missions? They are coming to Xbox also. I read that frame rates are smoother on 360 that's pretty crucial for me. Hate FPS drops.

Good week for the top 4 in the FPL, but not good enough for me to get any closer to the meaningful spots
Surprising, especially with the lack of games for Arsenal, Man Utd, Man City and Everton
Top 2 running away with it

Frustrating for me cos if I had left Suarez as captain I'd have gone back to top spot.Good week for the top 4 in the FPL, but not good enough for me to get any closer to the meaningful spots

Also I keep leaving Bunn on my bench and he's consistently out scoring Mignolet.
But all told can't complain, Morsel's been on fire so glad to be hanging on. Things will get interesting with all the fixture changes.
Whether they were soft free kicks or not (and you still have to defend them anyway), after 65 minutes we were in cruise control and the atmosphere was dead. The crowd knew their team was under the cosh. But as happens in football, Liverpool managed somehow to divert a third goal onto the post and then we did silly things in our own half that gave you a lifeline.
Mentally Liverpool were not in the game until they got the second goal, your attacking players had their heads down and Lloris had nothing to do. You put your two chances away but I think our mistakes had far more to do with the result than anything particularly good from Liverpool. You kept chugging away and somehow scored twice. It was a bit like the game between City and Liverpool at the Etihad (you played much better on that day that we did today). You were in control but somehow gave them a free goal out of nothing.
Hmm they always recommend going for the PS3 version in the OT. But just to be absolutely sure, go ahead and ask them over there.

Why does Suarez always tape his fingers? He's had it for a while now
To help restrain himself from swearing at the crowd
Rather keep him, one bad season is nothing to scoff at, but Zaha is definitely going to make it interesting.
Why does Suarez always tape his fingers? He's had it for a while now
To stop himself fingering negritos.
Why does Suarez always tape his fingers? He's had it for a while now
To control his urge to handball.
Players have him figured out now. He's not going to get any more effective unless he dramatically changes the way he plays. Genuinely wouldn't have any aversion to having Nani, Young, Zaha and Welbeck (kind of) as wing options next season.
