Expecting a phone call any moment now from the War Z dev's asking me to save their credibility.

What a disaster that game appears to be.
:lol

Shredding news about Tito. God, I hate cancer. It's almost guaranteed that Pep will take over the helm whilst he recovers, I imagine he wouldn't want it any other way. The club have a duty to regroup and make sure Tito's great work won't go to waste, and despite his current position, Pep's very much still part of Barcelona.
 
Carzola and Arteta wouldn't of never been there. Man, if Fabregas was there last season with RVP that would of been amazing. Too bad RVP will never get that kind of support for the rest of his career.

Other news, it looks ogbonna is going to leave in January with PSG, utd, and Rubentus roaming the waters. Hopefully, he doesnt go to juve merda and be with his bitch marchisio. It doesnt matter anyway, because Cairo would just buy another villa in Saint Tropez and do fuck all for Toro.

Welcome to Torino!


Mother of god... he's still on our books! I'm sure we'll let his contract expire, but please don't tell me he's going to step up in the food chain with Bendtner injured..... has he been training with Primavera?

Zabo saw him in a casino in Slovenia.


Chiellini out for god knows how long and Asamoah is leaving for AFCON. Twitter reckons it's time for 4-3-3 again!

I have a feeling we're signing Bocchetti, and then we have De Ceglie and Giaccherini for use on the left. In which case a 4-3-3 is fine (but no SP7....). It might also be necessary if we can't find a good striker and have to deal with a reduced strikeforce plus three competitions.

BREAKING NEWS
England midfielder Jack Wilshere is one of five British players to sign new long-term contracts with Arsenal.

Wilshere's five-year deal will come into force at the end of this season. He is joined in committing to the club by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Aaron Ramsey, Kieran Gibbs and Carl Jenkinson.

No Walcott.

Could the Nani rumors be true?

It's a real shame too, because Chiellini finally recaptured his King Kong form. :(

It's time for..

He's not an amazing CB, Yurt. In a pinch he's grand but I much prefer him as a RB/RWB where he can sneak forward.

He plays on the left of a back three for Uruguay! But yeah, me too.

Ashton Kutcher is better in a back four anyway.
..right?

Vuci-Qua-Gio is quite explosive upfront, but their defensive contribution is minimal to say the least.

Shocked about Tito. Hope he gets better.

Mou needs Guardiola back. They're like Batman and the Joker.

Dat British Steel at Arsenal.

Ramsey deserves a chance at least even though he can be frustrating. He had his first full season last year lets not forget.

Well... I like PDC. I prefer him over Caceres on the left, but I know you're not a big fan of Mister Kutcher. :p

Absolutely think that would have tons of offensive potential. Matri would prosper as well if both Gio and Vucinic can be compelled to serve him in the box. Quagliarella as well. Vucinic's defensive contribution is surprisingly high given his past with Roma, though. I think against smaller league teams we can absolutely get by with that pairing.

Gio-Villa-Vuci... oh god my pants.
 
Anyone see the clip of Mourniho and Perez at the Real Madrid Christmas lunch?

Dat body language...



Get well soon Tito :)

Its down for the Hillsborough inquest. You should perhaps start thinking about things before mindlessly attacking everything to do with our fanbase

I have been told by Mother that my Uncle have passed away to days ago.

I really feel shitty. Not because we were close, but because we weren't at all. In actual fact, I have only seen him once and that was when I was rather young to recall anything. I feel regret that I have never communicated with him when I should have. Always, have I told myself (and to others in the family) that I will visit him one day. Days and weeks... Years have passed, but I didn't get the chance to do so. I really felt that, as long as I keep doing what I do, I will see him. Bloody hell, now, I will never see him. He lived in Indianapolis. That is far, and I hope, when I graduate and start earn some money, I would have visited him (and America in general)

Stay strong faridmon. Sadly, distancing ourselves from the people we care is almost inevitable as we grow up.

Hope he's okay, wherever he is now.

Chelsea - Leeds.
BVB - H96
Lazio - Siena *now*
Udinese - Viola
Napoli - Bologna

Oh hey it rhymes!

Again?!

Chiellini could be out for 3 months.

I'm glad the world ends in two days anyway.

What the fuck?! When? Where? Out of fucking nowhere. He's been in beast mode for months too. Gah. :/

Yeah, we'll probably go for Bocchetti now, o chi per lui. But it's Caceres' time to shine. I think he'll do just fine as a CB. Move Barzagli on the left, Keiser Bonucci in the center, Pelado on the right. Done. Or we could switch to 4-3-3 for a while, indeed. Makes perfect sense, since Asa is leaving.

Fade is right, 4-3-3 is the only way to go if we're still hoping to squeeze something out of Matri.

Watching revisita, They're saying Tello has a buy-out clause of 10m. His agent made sure of that. Plus it'll increase the more he plays.

Spanish tv were reporting Falcoa to Chelsea is done but Perez wants him at Madrid. So yeah...

Arsenal spending their transfer budget on their own players. Makes some sense.

No Walcott though still.

Good to see Wilshere and co. signing new contracts. AOC, Wilshere, Ramsey, Gibbs, and Jenkinson are all solid players now that can still improve (even Ramsey) so I'd much rather they get the extensions.

Walcott must be on his way out now... Can't say he'll be missed.

He's one of your best players...

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much

He honestly isn't. He looks very good against awful defenders and 10 man sides *sniff*, but he's easily dealt with most of the time, any player would look good with the amound of space he's been given by Reading, Coventry and Spurs (the only teams he's actually hurt this season). He's obviously not a bad player but he's not worth the 100k he is demanding. Any side paying him that wage must be utterly desperate. Even Bale doesn't earn that much.

He's not good enough to be on 100k, he's not good enough to be a striker and 9 games out of 10 he's complete shit on the wing. Though I suppose he is better than Gervinho...

Time to cut our losses.

Thanks

My rational side tells me this. But I do feel a pang of regret that, maybe, I should have, at least talked to him and whatnot.

I think I will just stay low and not go out for a while Maybe reflect on things and ,hopefully, I will be fine. Hope my mum stays strong though :(

Cagliari - Juventus will be played in ... Parma's stadium. I'm sure the fans that booked the flight to Cagliari months ago are really happy about this last minute change of venue. Cellino uomo di merda. Well, at least it's Parma, so basically a home match for us.

It's a calf strain or whatever. Caceres came back in a month after being ruled out for 6, same for Lucio. So here's hoping!

Sorry to hear the sad news faridmon. :(

On a brighter note, Guidetti has finally returned to training after an 8 month lay-off due to that nerve issue he had. I know a number of teams are interested in loaning him in January although I wouldn't mind Roberto trotting him out for a game or two for City first. I saw Mario apparently dropped his appeal and won't be going to tribunal but I'm over him. Hoping we just cut ties.

I've never rated Walcott, the guy can run and nothing more.

As for the contracts, I think Wenger finally gets what got him so much success in the nineties and that's a strong English backbone. Wilshire and Jenkinsin could be excellent one day.

Damn sorry to hear that man. I know exactly how you feel. My uncle died years ago and I barely knew the guy and I felt really crap when that happened. It still bothers me till this day, it's the reason why I try to stay in contact with as much of my family as I can.

I think this is just a huge myth, the guy's a really competent finisher, some of his goals are sublime. Assisted a hell of a lot of RVP's last season, too.

In other news I just saved the Sturridge celebration to my 'Liverpool gifs' folder. Uh oh.

Unfortunately Pep stepping in would make zero sense. This will be a prolonged absence for Tito if it's not permanent.

Saw something from Tancredi Palmeri before that suggested he could be back within a month, if the operation's a success. I think it's all a bit speculative at the moment.
