Obviously the fee for Henderson is ridiculous but for me Hendo has everything to be a top player for us. Two injuries impacted yesterday's game massively but Henderson coming on also won us the game with his superb energy, willingness to work the channels and crisp passing.
The lad like a lot of others gets judged on his fee rather than his talent. As for RAWK I've spent a lot of time there recently and despite it being littered with some of the most fickle and idiotic fans around it also provides some brilliant and in depth discussion.
apparently tom cruise asked yesterday if there will be a penality shootout
No, Robert Duvall did. Geoff Shreeves just looked at him confused and didn't answer him, really awkward silence.

Yes that's probably true but in terms of the potential they've shown until now I think Jones has shown more.
Henderson is a neat player for sure and maybe he will progress steadily but personally I haven't seen anything which makes me think he could be a top player one day.
Jones has a long way to go but I think he has been genuinely brilliant at times.

Cunte pls? Haven't watched Ba play, I've no idea if he'd actually work within Juve.
Clichy is excellent for us but his decision to not clear the ball ultimately lead to the FK which lost us the game. He is more responsible for Nasri than the goal tbh.
He'd be a major upgrade to Bendtner. Lets just leave it at that.
Come on Newcastle! Don't get shit on!

Woah, what a graveyard:
Customers Called 'Fat' on Restaurant Bill - NeoGAF
Shit, I'd prefer to go in style rather than just being banned for joking about fat people.
/yes, I also feel like Dortmund (but also Juve) could pose a difficult challenge for Barca
//too bad Fry8 decided to go, but fuck bayern nonetheless.

What team poses the biggest challenge to Dortmund?

Am I glad I missed that. I might have said something rather unpleasant. I have this tendency to say stupid things which get me banned after all.

Tbh I don't see why half those people were banned.

For being fatcists.
I don't know, calling them fat or agreeing with that Jeff feller in a way.
Mancini's comments on Samir's lame duck wall effort. I was confused as to why Tevez moved away from the wall as well. What a clusterfuck that was.

Gary Neville analysed it on MNF.
Barry and Tevez tell him to move out of the wall because Hart asks for a wall of 3. If you watch it back you can see that first City's players take a long time to respond to Hart who starts losing it. Eventually they make the wall and by this time RVP is ready to shoot. Tevez comes to join and Nasri turns to Hart and checks he wants 3, Hart confirms and they tell Tevez to do one. Just as Tevez is moving Hart is still scrambling on his line and RVP shoots.
Just a total mess really.
But that is what can happen in the 93rd minute of such a fast paced and tense game. City obv made mistakes but I can kind of understand how. Nasri hiding behind his team mates however is just...poor.
Ridiculous bans most of them tbh.

You are a jerk lately.
You love it
3-3 draw pls, Coloccini with 2 and Ba with 1
edit: Oh Newcastle
I think my problem with Samir in that goal was that he made a very lame attempt to stop it at all. As Mancini said below, he should have done better.
3 points still lost - but it is nice to see Mancini take this loss very seriously. It is also nice to see him take note of some terrible mistakes that lead to the loss. Food for thought for the guy and hopefully he'll make better decisions eventually.
And Clolochini
Because Tim Krul is a great goalkeeper?

I think the secret is not to post just a few words (those condensed opinion burps), but rather try to invest some time & thought into your replies. Then you'll probably notice yourself that you're about to slip off the ToS while writing.
You won't break any record as far as post count goes, but you'll survive longer and may even contribute to the discussion, lol
I feel more threatened by the meta-stuff. I feel like I could break down any moment with the amount of dumb threads and myself being a dogmatic, opinionated cunt.
Hmm, well after we played so well against Madrid I am convinced in Klopp's tactical abilities and it was quite the test for our defense (dealing with CR, Higuain, Özil), so I guess it's teams that operate like a real collective, where most of the team is involved in defending and they should also be able to switch from def. to attack really fast. Juve comes to mind with Pirlo as their pivotal player for those switches, but they're shit when it comes to scoring, so we'd probably win.
I'd say it's mostly those teams you always tend to forget about like Porto or Shakhtar + the players could fall victim to this underestimating of opponents.
Barca too, of course, but we've dealt with the next best thing in terms of that possession based play style pretty well (your lot), so even with Messi in the equation I still feel like we've got a chance against them.

Fady K knows what he's talking about. Clichy was a steal at £6m. Thanks Arsene.
Also you are correct about Balotelli. Mou said Balotelli only trains at 10%. If he trained at 75% he could be one of the best in the world.
Yeah I'm sick of Tiote.

Reminds me a bit of Muntari. Highly rated on the basis of nothing but pace and energy

Was wrong about this. Balotelli really is not that good.
