Reus isn't a bad shout as he has rejected an improved contract from BVB. Plus time will tell how will Cavani cope with being the number 2 in the club.

You should know statistics do not tell the whole story. Lukaku is not the answer to our troubles up front regardless of his goals for Everton and West Brom. He has been the golden child of Belgium since he was a young boy and that has spoiled him. He is not a star to start demanding, in terms of football he is still a noone.

Wheeler dealers can put together a one season wonder but in the long term better managers will prevail. Best of luck lads!

I had to let go a 23 year old midfielder with skill 2, the offer was just too good.

A few pages back we had a discussion about it, You can catch up on it if you wish mate

Ukrainian forces are cutting off the supply corridor for the separatists meanwhile they themselves are being supplied by air. Most likely the separatists thought it was an IL76 transport plane carrying supplies to the Ukrainian army (separatists have shot down a few already) and by accident took down the passenger plane. What I've read and heard is that the team operating the BUK are already killed to cover evidence and the missle complex itself taken apart to scrapmetal. Leader of separatists has resigned and is missing.

Your source is RussiaToday, which is a propaganda channel. Search the truth from another source mate.

Nour you cheap bastard! I knew you made money for yourself with the betting thing but didnt want to interrupt it by bidding also.

At the moment they are without a manager and are cruising in 4th position in the Championship. Team is worth a little over 27m. GP W D L GF - GA GD P 12 4 3 5 15 - 18 -3 15

Be positive, if you stick to your goals and routines, then in a year or two you'll be amazed how much you've changed. Plus being an ectomorph has its pros - adipose tissue contains enzyme called aromatase which converts testosteron into estrogens (that's why obese people develop something certain communities call the bitch tits). You lack the tissue, the enzyme and your body has theoretically more anabolic properties to put on muscle.

What a teamwork to obliterate the start of the thread, salute.

Great alternative mate, but it has its limitations. I forgot to add in my post above that neglecting cardio is not a solution to gaining weight, Only thing you can gain from not doing proper cardio is higher blood pressure and the ability to sweat after going up the stairs.

Agree what Metsaj said, some very solid advice. Though, I'm always very careful when someone wants to start living a healthier lifestyle by working out AND jumps on the extreme diets, workouts immediately. Even though you seem a mature person with stable mindset and well above average IQ, focus I don't think it is wise to start drinking 4liters of milk a day. What is the purpose of it? To gain weight? You gain weight when you consume excessive amounts of calories (mainly from carbonhydrates through the nature of the metabolic paths and cycles). You can get the calories and OTHER nutrients from a normal diet, you just have to eat more than you spend and eat frequently. Milk will sure help you gain weight, but where do you draw the line? You can't keep 4l a milk a day for the rest of your life to maintain / gain weight. It is better to start eating proper food from the start that is 25%-30%fat (10% PUFA, 10% MUFA, 10% saturated - I'm on the side of people who dont think saturated fats are the devil and cause atherosclerosis and what not), 55%-60% carbonhydrates from good sources (potato, pasta, rice, bread, meat etc and 10-15% proteins from ANIMAL products mainly due to the nature of the proteins they contain (all the 20 essential amino acids, milk also contains 20 amino acids but it's absorption in the body may not be as good even though it contains casein - the protein that makes digestion easier for infants when their bile acid production is very low or non existent in the first year of their life, thats why the need to breast feed). Don't disregard greens, vegetables etc, they give you vitamins that are needed for healthy organism (we are not dogs that can produce our own vitC, we need to get it from plant sources, same with E vitamin and provitamin of A). Generally that i've read and heard is that half of the plate should be a salad. Also drink plenty of water to make it easier for you kidneys, they are not used to filtrating (or rather stop filtrating) this amount of protein before. Extreme diets can fuck up your kidneys. Visit a sports doctor, your family doctor - get a check up, physical tests done and talk to them about your wishes and views of the diets, exercises and ask if they could assess your health accordingly. I know, blablabla, seems very generic but it is for a reason, Again ,if youre serious about this, don't shy away from possible inconveniences, because in the long run this might save you from medical bills. Soon youll volunteer to do the physical exam bcs it gives you loads of info about you and your body PLUS you have a starting point you can compare yourelf after x amount of time has passed and follow your progress opposed to subjective glance in the mirror and weight scale numbers which can be deceiving, The key to gaining PROPER weight and not just lard is to install good eating, training and sleeping habits. The sooner the better, there is no magic cure for gaining muscle. Train like previous poster advised, eat clean (count calories at start if youre serious about gaining weight but not going fat, otherwise it is easy to get used to over-eating and when there is time to start cutting youll have bad habits of eating junk and will keep on putting on bodyfat). You might not see it this way but having a fast metabolism puts you in a prime position for weight training in the long run - you can eat and not gain as much meaning lower body fat %, being leaner and more defined. Just the start is hard. Like i said before, I think you are a person that has the MENTAL capabilities to stick to a program with eyes on the prize attitude. That's why I'm sure you'll succeed but don't go on extreme diets, workouts from the start - you will hurt yourself and your body, drain out mentally and what not. People who are super fit have been working out for YEARS with proper diets etc, if you're ready to follow their example. only then you WILL succeed. WIthout knowing you in person nor your previous exercise levels, I'd suggest start doing 100 push up series (google it), pull ups etc for the first weeks, ease into it - if youre serious about this then it will be the best option to let your body adapt to the new regime and those 3-4 weeks wont make or break your goals,though, vice versa can slowly destroy your body. Usually people have asked me irl how to rather lose weight, some how to gain also, but one thing that is common is that they are not committed to the cause. They want the beach body of models but dont realise it takes discipline to pull it off. They might theatrically eat one small carrot or a dry rice cake in front of me and complain that they cant lose weight but the truth is I have no idea what they eat or consume when they are home or out in the town - thats where discipline comes in. People accuse genetics too easily for their troubles, but it all comes down to motivation, discipline and staying HONEST with yourself. You can lie to yourself but it will reflect in the mirror afterwards. Milk contains calcium, calcium is needed for many functions but also for bone structure. Calcium and phosphate stores are regulated by thyroid gland (PTH, calcitonin) and vitD3 in form of calcitriol. If you consume so much milk, can it make your thyroid gland dysfunction? Too much calcitionin would mean over reactive thyroid gland -> higher metabolism -> weight loss. Underactive (due to lack of need of PTH) could theoretically lead to hypothyroidism. So it is a dangerous tinkering when it comes to extreme diets. This jibber jabber about insulin spikes - milk has relatively low glycaemic index meaning it will not spike insulin that much or so rapidly. So its anabolic properties are not that great as advertised in the GOMAD diet plan. Not that high GI is good, but low isn't great either in terms of absorption. I don't take any supplements, though, creatine is a relatively safe way to go. Only side effect noted according to a rather inconclusive study indicated a raise in DHT ( a metabolic product of testosterone that amounts to 5% compared to testosterone itself) that binds to the their according receptors. Raised DHT levels have been correlated to cause balding in the head and hair growth other parts of the body (usually men with male pattern baldness tend to be hairier - their receptors are receptive to DHT and too much DHT can not necessarily cause one go bald but if it is in your genetics then it can make it happen quicker. It's all theoretical so far but just thought you might want to know. When I used it I didn't feel any difference. In creatines defense, the raise in DHT was still noted to be in the normal reference range and as said the study was not well run. Creatine will help you gain weight through water weight and will give you energy in from of creatine phosphate to push out more reps -> more muscle stimulation -> gains. Regarding protein powders - if you can get enough protein from good sources (animal protein) then there is no need for them. Too much protein does not mean more gains - it means expensive stools and -in extreme cases- urine. Ask questions if youve got any about nutrition or workouts, I'll gladly help you.

This was the big elephant in the room and noone mentioned it earlier. Agree with you guys. Only one who could oppose this is TermX but I'm sure he sees the need for this, otherwise he will be dividing the titles with bots. Potential new players want to win and the sooner the better, as it stands the new teams promoted to premier league will lose a season in terms of development and will go down - all of the other 5 teams have cemented themselves in the big game and it takes something special to change that. A change is needed, noone wants to be second best all the time and it does not come down to skill etc, it comes down to whoever had the luxury and time to get a head start.

Insert a clause in the 'Terms and services' before registering and before posting that TC is not responsible nor the owner of the images posted here, all the rights are reserved for their respective owners blablabla.. have a look at ScoutNationHD videos in YouTube - he has implemented this on every video of his. Other thing is the payment methods that limit the donations - no PayPal for a lot of people. Hope this resolves quickly!

If it is in your genetics to go bald - you will go bald. Using a blowdryer might make your hair a bit too dry and damage them a bit (hence why women sometimes cut the ends of their hair) but it won't affect the follicle itself.

Have you heard the terms 'of last resort' , 'when everything else fails'? These are the words used when describing alternative medicine incl. acupuncture. Why do people go all through this? Because they WANT to get better. There is no greater force in the universe than the willpower of a man in need. This is classical placebo effect. Stingray gave you multiple articles to reassure his case. Only thing you can come up with is cocky demeanour and an article about acupuncture by biased acupuncturists from a pop-scientific page people use to diagnose indigestion. Aslong as you don't link a scientific study, don't be surprised if your snobby outbursts are replied with arguments and not 'likes'. I'm sure you'll reply with a cool comeback and use 'brah' and 'do you even lift' several times thinking you're a genius, but remember that the difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits. Having seen you edited your post to add more links. Only the last one had a scientific study liked to it and the author's own conclusion was ' Significant differences between true and sham acupuncture indicate that acupuncture is more than a placebo. However, these differences are relatively modest, suggesting that factors in addition to the specific effects of needling are important contributors to the therapeutic effects of acupuncture.' Don't only concentrate on the headings.

Portugal's national football team has rose-scented pillows waiting for them in Brazil. Will it help their performance? Maybe, maybe not - they are professionals, they know the best, right? Point being: even if certain teams or sportsmen use this kind of ALTERNATIVE medicine, it does not make it scientifically proven. Even fortune-tellers get it right sometimes.

I'd guessing he was just joking, atleast I hope so. Otherwise it will verify the stereotype that every gym rat is a narcissist, looking down on other's who necessarily don't like to work out -which should be ok, everyone has one life- and the unhealthy need to swamp social media after every little exercise or workout just to feel better about oneself and show others how great he or she is. Everything in moderation, especially sports if it is not something you do professionally.

Stop lactating, you are trying to see a ghost where there is none.

I'm fine with this but aslong as the Englishmen are as good as the foreigners they are replacing. Otherwise it would be an idealistic thought that would weaken the squad. In a sense this HG rule is hampering the trading and developing of English talents, because the selling club is in a very good bargaining position knowing that the clubs - in order to maximize their squad depth - will have to cough up.

And there's the dilemma, when is the right time to swap them? Do and should we risk letting a young excellent GK go because of sentiment? I really hope that the club leaves feelings out of this and tries to focus on the footballing matters.

If he was to stay, it would be fair if he'd take a reasonable pay-cut. He has been a great servant for the club, but at the same time he has been repaid with his wages, trophies, privileges and gratitude. Would be only fair.

I'm guessing he is overplayed. Same happened to Torres in Liverpool, where he was injury prone.

Congratulations Atletico Madrid!
