Juve fans (and others), how do you rate the Juve CBs? I'm talking to Cox over Twitter, he's saying Chiellini and Bonucci are a fair amount better than Barzagli and that if he played with a front three he'd press those two + Pirlo.

Now I wouldn't necessarily disagree with that but only because Chiellini and Beckenbonny are a tad more proactive in their defending and can be got with when pressing, whereas Barzagli is the type to latch onto your mistakes and wait it out for you to have the ball.

Barzagli's probably been the best centre back in Europe this season. Can't really think of many others, apart from the other Juves.

Do we have any doctors in here? My left eye is messing up and the whole side of my vision is fucked up, I think I'm dying

Find a virgin. Extract a cocktail of their tears and semen. Rub it in your eyes.

Might help. Dunno.

The new FA Chairman says he's a big believer in FFP and clubs spending within their means.

As should we all be. But he's a United fan so clearly the PL will lie in ruins as we storm our way to our fourth treble in succession
 
wooden, are you serious?

Well not on the dying part... I hope. :p

But yeah, my left eye is messing up, having a hard time even reading in front of my laptop right now unless i close my left eye.

I can attest to this, cut back like I did and feel like a champion

This is going to sound quite sad but : fifa GAF has taken away all my fapping time.

Also wooden try hitting the side of your head like you do a tv when the signal is bad

You might be laughing right now but won't when believe FC loses their best player.

Yeah FIFA GAF is dangerous.

Feels like playing an MMO. You just don't get time to do anything else.

Thankfully I managed to pull myself away and play Soul Sacrifice.

New VP for Marketing we've hired at my agency comes from UNICEF and his first name is Ryutaro. Already sounds boss.


Lots of stuff online about Suarez leaving if the right team comes knocking. I don't see how Real don't come knocking if he's seriously looking for Champions League action.

Boy do I hope we'll beat Juve.

We're not afriad of a goddamn mouse.

I'm terrible at judging players, so ... All I know is our defensive trio has been beasting across all competitions for the last year and a half. Barzagli has been very good for quite some time, way before he joined us. Right now, he's at the top of his game. He's found the perfect partners in Bonny and Chiello and vice-versa. It certainly helps that we're a very organized team and I'm sure every defender would be glad to have Vidal and Marchisio playing in front of them, as they neutralize most of threats coming our way. However, Barzagli has been unreal. The last time I've seen such level of defensive perfection, it was back in 2006 from Cannavaro. I'm not saying Barza is *that* good, but, fuck me, it certainly looks that way.

What do you mean by messing up? Is it stinging? Did you notice any stickiness when you woke up in the morning? Like your eyes were closed shut and you had difficulty opening them? Any yellow discharge in the corners of your eye? Any redness to your eye?

My first thought is possibly conjunctivitis. Would need to know more really. I'd advise you to pop down to your local pharmacy and speak to someone there.

Off to work now. Hopefully you get it sorted. I've had conjunctivitis as recently as last year and it ruined my day. Most unpleasant.

What does Michael Cox know? You should point him in the direction of Zonal Marking and tell him to have a read of that site. Dearie me.

I had something similiar occur with my right eye about 18 months ago. Went to GP immediately then got referred to two specialists. I'm very squeemish about eyes but luckily it turned out to be an inflamation on my cornea which went away after a few months of putting cream on my eye (as weird as it sounds).

Basically, go to your GP as soon as you can. If you're particularly worried you can call your local practice and book an appointment with another doctor.

No felt nothing this morning or have any pain, have had conjunctivitis and it isn't that i'm fairly sure. Just suddenly started noticing in class that my vision was getting blurry + having some weird... Ugh, hard to explain, noise/artifacts on the left, and it got progressively worse for an hour from being barely able to notice it, to not being able to read at all. It's not that bad right now and never felt dizzy. Will go home and sleep for an hour or two and see if it won't be completely gone then.

Was it you yesterday who managed to slide tackle one of our strikers without pressing a button?

Chesney is after apologizing for his father's behaviour.

He had a go at Wenger for "scapegoating" his son and blaming him for recent Arsenal losses.

How embarrassing.

Are your eyes bloodshot or red at all? Like others have said if you're not immediately concerned get some rest and then see how you feel, how you can see and how your eyes look in the mirror.

I'll wait for Fifa 14. :)



Dat De Scoglio. When is Brazil - Italy on, btw? Might take a peek. Italy's plane was struck by lightning yesterday while landing in Geneva, so I'm curious to see what superpowers the players acquired.
Hopefully it turned Maggio into a decent defender.
 
Interesting forum post which describes the history between Croatian manager Igor Stimac and Serbian manager Sinisa Mhajlovic.

Fucking hell, intense.

Igor Stimac:
- He claims that I’ve wished for his family to die but I don’t express myself like that. Mihajlovic doesn’t exist for me anymore. Since his mother is Croatian, he’s always the one trying to prove something, like he’s a greater Serb than anyone else.

Sinisa Mihajlovic:
- That he can’t stand for what he says makes him an even lesser person in my eyes. He should just vanish. I don’t believe in violence but Igor Stimac is the only human I would actually want to kill.
Holy shit when is the match and where can I watch it.

John Cross is the biggest Arsenal cheerleader in the world. They haven't lost in two games and now they're in the midst of a "resurgence".
