One of my housemates projectile vomited everywhere last night and it fucking stinks. Seriously, everywhere - like, up the walls and all along the top floor hallway and then when he finally got to the bathroom, he's done it all over the walls surrounding the toilet.

No idea how he's managed it but it's making me bork every time I step out my room.

It was cleaned (apart from patches around the toilet which is annoying) and the smell just won't go away. On the plus side, it keeps me in the library for longer.

Patrick Klepek is getting on my nerves more and more with each Bombcast. Weird because there was a good year or so where he was alright

Repeating other people's anecdotes, sulking like a child and making petty snipes when he can't back up his own opinion, being a very poorly masked Nintendo fanboy in a way that stifles discussion. If your big 3 allegiance doesn't lead to humour or come with some self-identification and awareness, its a bit pathetic really.

I've pretty much given up on the bombcast. It's a weird reason for doing so, but I found that the amount of dead air and mumbling really puts me off. There are often periods of silence for like 4 or 5 seconds where I normally end up pulling out my phone to check the podcast hasn't been interrupted by a call. 2 and a half hours of that is maddening to me.

I normally stick to Weekend Confirmed for gaming industry discussion and analysis, and the Rooster Teeth podcast for sheer randomness and discussion about misc crap. Itch scratched.

Shelvey's goal at Old Trafford had me cumming buckets last night. Quite happy that Gerrard's op is brought forward because now we'll hopefully get to see him have a couple of games in the first team.

Shelvey, Hendo, Lucas midfield. Coutinho floating. Downing stretching. Sturridge flapping.

In fairness Yurt, Conte returned to Juventus the minute I left Serie A to replace Klopp at Dortmund. Our feud was too much for him.

Speaking of all things Napoli, my mum and stepdad took a trip to Naples today. I'm praying for their safety.

So Ferruccio Mazzola passed away.

The 65 year old former striker was the son of Grande Torino star Valentino Mazzola & is pictured here with his brother 'Sandro. He died following a long illness.

He was hugely outspoken, most notably in his 2004 book 'Il terzo incomodo' in which he accused Fiorentina, his own Lazio & his brother's Inter sides of systematic drug abuse.

Mazzola directly accused former Inter coach Helenio Herrera of forcing players to take substances to improve performances & held the coach accountable for the premature deaths of players Armando Picchi, Carlo Tagnin, Mauro Bicicli & Ferdinand Miniussi.

Inter President Giacinto Facchetti sued Mazzola for deformation but the case was thrown out of court. In 2005 a judge ruled that the death of former Inter player Bruno Beatrice - at just 39 - was as a direct result of doping

Nothing bad ever happens in Napoli. According to Mazzarri and De Laurentiis it's all part of the local folklore.

Should've gone to Torino instead.

why are you so salty?

is it because we are ahead of you in the FIFA rankings?

is it because we are ahead of you in the UEFA rankings?

is it because Benfica is in the top 10 clubs according to the UEFA rankings while the best dutch is Ajax in 27th spot?

it's not my fault your teams are shit, bro. level up or step aside.

Mou is spot on about Lopez/Casillas by the way. Iker is a fantastic shot stopper but not really in any other department; positionally he's poor and there's been a fair amount of goals that Ramos/Pepe get blamed for that Casillas should be. A very good keeper whose talent has been exaggerated due to the team he plays for, his nationality, the captaincy etc.

Casillas is awful when it comes to corners. Diego Lopez is arguably the best hiring from Mou's Real. 2nd being Modric.

Mourinho's contract includes a clause that lays down a penalty in the event of the contract being broken unilaterally by either party. Although the figure is not public, it is believed to be in the region of €20m (£16.9m). Should Mourinho walk away, the club that sign him must pay Madrid that indemnity; should Madrid sack him, that fee would be due to Mourinho.

Lopez has been a fantastic buy, but because he isn't Casillas and the press literally don't suck his dick, no one really gives a fuck. Mou is spot on about him. Even the Pepe stuff has truth to it, although I think if you erased all mental problems, Pepe is a better defender than Ramos.

He is being a cunt with regards to his contract though. I want him to stay on and win La Decima if we don't win it next year. Chelsea can get fucked in the nose

slim. Casillas will snake his way into the starting 11.

We got burnt on AVB. Might me more problematic than you think.

Not at all. As much as I rate Carlo, he's a company man (Milan, Chelsea and PSG are all more or less run by someone other than the manager; Carlo's more of a first team coach) and if he comes in, Casillas will be back in the squad.

Whoever comes after Mou will have to face the fact that Casillas is the ring leader at RM, either accept that or be prepared to be kicked out. Happenned to Camacho, happenned to Lopez Caro, and many others.

I thought Iker was a nice guy considering his nickname. St Iker.

It's rare when Diego Lopez lets one in and everybody sees and thinks "His fault". With Casillas it was becoming a trend lately.

tarzanpuyol said:
he is nice, but come on man you can touch everyone at RM, just dont touch Iker, he is the last great madridista in the team and no homegrown replacement in sight.
Click to expand...

There are no true madridistas anymore. And Casillas is far from one, the fact he doesn't have the club's best interest speaks volumes. A true madridista would've shut the fuck up. He should be called St. Diva, he and Ronaldo make a great pairing.

people see this as a pure perfomance debate, its not. When Casillas started he was shit on by Hierro, he was seen as the kid with good skills but good enough to play in the 1st team, then Hierro left, then Raul left and El Madridismo was left with only one player that they can associate with the great homegrown legends, Iker Casillas.

You dont touch Iker, you dont go for the people's hero; it doesnt work like that.

Oh I understand WHY Casillas is praised so much, but Mou is either holding a grudge and using Lopez, or judging it on performance in which case Lopez deserves his spot.

Same would be said for a new manager fucking with Charles Puyol. You don't do it.

Lopez has been fantastic and deserving of his spot
