It's cute that he still cares.

I think sitting next to Buttner would be worse, he looks like the kind of guy that would smell.

Mandzukic is top quality
Most Juve players are still lacking energy compared to their best periods of last year and the one before. They used to do lots of pressing for almost the whole 90 minutes, now they manage to do so for about half the match.
At least it's an improvement compared to how they played in the past months, but I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever see them reach that level this season.
Thinking about this, the concept of "Caceres costed them the match" is difficult to accept for me because the "best Juve" I'm thinking about just improved the pressing efforts after taking a goal, not the opposite like they've done today, even more so if they were losing.
Also, I remember watching a game with my dad about 1,5 years ago (this doesn't happen often) and, seeing a Juve player throwing in the ball without wasting a single second in the last minutes of a match to start a new offensive play, he said something like "they're winning with a single goal advantage and the match is almost finished, why they don't waste some time?". I just smiled, thinking he was not used to see how Juve was playing in that period.

This reminds me of the infamous Gervinho miss.
Tbf the ball bobbles up, just as he's about to strike it.
Still should have finished it though. Guess it wasn't our strikers day.
A laser on Ibra's eyes
In the original pic, it looks like an e-cigarette.
Rooney is probably better on the left than Young and Kagawa. Shinji is definite quality in the middle too. It would be the beat use of the players we have imo. Probably unwise to try it against Arsenal, but I'd like to see that formation at least once this season.

"I have seen it and the boy certainly tugs [Young] in the box. The referee is two yards away from it and decided to give it."
"The referee made decisions all night, and he is the one who saw fit to award pen and send a player off."
Is Moyes saying it was a penalty or it wasn't? ITV's interview was pony, got nothing from that either.

Having no real evidence to back my prejudice up I'd say Moyes is legitimising the dive there.
the fucking cunt
The sad truth.
Some players are lacking grinta this season. One goal up to Madrid, there was no reason to relax.
But to be fair to them, it was a tough month in terms of fixtures.
As much as you lot hate him, Rooney has been pretty top this season. Not out of this world, but damn good.
And sticking him out left is a waste. You play your best players where they are best, not compensating by playing people who aren't in form in his spot.
But whatevs, still think arsenal will bum you lot on Saturday unless Rvp turns up.

If we top our group, a pretty big if right now, every team that finishes 2nd will be hoping to get us in the draw.
Feels bad.

Completely off topic, but I was having a chat with a few mates from uni today about Harry Potter. We've come to the conclusion that he's the biggest fuck up to ever exist in all of fiction. Internationally famous for defeating a dark lord when he was a baby, beats him multiple times as a young teenager, is Triwizard champion, reasonably handsome and best sportsman in any year.
Yet he never got any while at school, the gobshite.

RVP won't even be in the game unless our midfield turns up. Need Carrick back and playing well and need our wingers to be effective on the ball to get it to RVP.
I'd like to see Moyes try it with Rooney left and Shinji through the middle. See how it works out.
Adnan should start most games. Team plays a lot better with him playing. He brings a sort of unpredictability to our game which has been missing.
We still need to sort the midfield out.
The beauty of RVP is that he doesn't need to be 'in' a game in order to win it, unfortunately for us
And he played the hero role in Quidditch.
Team's getting battered, down by 300 points, who gives a shit Harry's just swallowed the golden testicle by accident.
Yet nobody put their mouth near his testes, did they.
Because he's a fucking twat.

First thing Moyes needs to do is stop playing Smalling at RB.
Please just stop.
Rooney can't be dropped or moved from his position right now. Playing well. Not a fan of him and his style of play at #10 at all but with so many other players playing shit it really doesn't make sense to move one of the few doing well.

Cho was vulnerable, crying all over him, mistletoe above and all he got was a 10 second lip lock; the massive fanny that he is.
He spent more time wanking over Ginny than actually doing anything about getting her. Dean Thomas got more from Ginny than he did. Dean fuckimg Thomas.
Ron had his shit together tho.
It's great to see Mandzukic proving Pep wrong every single time.
I don't think playing with one DM is going to work in the Bundesliga, or in difficult CL matches.

Who dat?
I always assumed that Harry gave Cho a good bumming at the Christmas DA meeting, there's a time lapse between the mistletoe and Harry getting back to the Gryffindor common room

Activision throwing around court orders on some guy because of FOV fixers for their shitty ass broken game lol
Aguero, CR7, Ibra, Messi, Lavezzi, Falcao... he's on that list for sure, but I really don't know how you can single out any of them and say they are the best.
Would you classify Cr7 as a striker? Lavezzi isn't striker.
One of the things the books are praised for are its accurate depiction life in a boarding school; magic notwithstanding. Bloody well wasn't accurate.You sound quite bitter clegg
You alright fella?
Luna Lovegood was a year below me in secondary school. No lie.
