This has to happen. I know people say that maybe a midfielder and another foward are more important but with Luke Shaw the LB position is fixed for the next decade and more.

Stating it's my opinion is just your opinion, dude.

I swear sometimes I think this place is heading down the RAWK and RedCafé route. We as a community already have the meltdowns, bickering and the delusional rants perfected.

He was merely introducing himself, no need to be so rude. Ciao, signor. I've a soft spot for Internazionale myself.

Someone has to bear that burden every loss though...

Not really. I know a lot of people that have done it. I know plenty of people the frequented pubs and bars at 16/17. My best mate at 16 would even just walk into a bottleshop and walk out with loads of goodies just because he had a goatee and his brother's work shirt on.

Step 1: Sign Beckenbauer, Maradona, Matthaus and Cruyff Step 2: Win? Step 3: ??? Step 4: Profit Class is as permanent as form.

Upgrade maybe, but he offers nothing different, nothing new.

Over hated and under rated by the Chelsea faithful. He isn't a bad manager he just has been given tough jobs by his bosses. He failed in the end at Chelsea but by all means he put down some pillars and groundwork for the changes happening now. Remember the breath of fresh air he was when he joined? Look past all the bad memories and remember some of the good ones. Anelkaouda was the most hated triumvirate ever at Chelsea and AVB had a very influential hand in their demise. Roman and the board are fickle if anything. Levy isn't much better. Tottenham aren't in a good situation. They have a lot of new players, that have never experienced football in England. On a side note the win% arguement is poorly thought out. You must appreicate the differences in squad, competitions and expectations of different managers. For instance: Martin Jol 45.27% (relegation candidates) - > Harry Redknapp 49.49% (challenging top 4) -> AVB 55% (transformation into a hopefull permanent top 4 team) AVB had the hardest job of all three. All Redknapp could do was get the team out of relegation. That was all that was expected, maybe get to midtable. And he did that and more. However AVB has to get to the top four and maybe even win trophies (depending on how insane Levy is). Different strokes, different people.

I said I didn't want to change it too much. What I pointed out is at SeB's discretion. Well, next time I won't offer advice to someone writing in their second (or even third) language. Besides, I never mentioned his grammar being bad. In fact his grammar is fantastic. I was giving creative writing tips. He doesn't have to follow them, I was just stating my opinion. For fucks sake, how about I never help anyone again. God fucking dammit, I've had enough for today.

Sorry I didn't edit it very well, I was rather drowsy when I did it. I didn't want to make too many changes to it, given that the main problems were just sentence structure. The tended to wind on with uncessary words that just make it an exhuasting read. Sometime more is less. For instance: "Despite a fairly decent 63 ball recoveries in that game..." would be better as "Despite a decent 63 ball recoveries in that game...". An incredibly minor change at first glance but I belive that it makes the statement more definitive and powerful. Or even "Despite 63 ball recoveries during that game.." which requires the readers opinion to fill in the gap: "Is 63 ball recoveries, good or bad?" I'm not that learned in French so I'm unsure is this applies, but when it comes to writing English; I usually look towards the rules of Orwell: 1) Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print. 2) Never use a long word where a short one will do. 3) If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out. 4) Never use the passive where you can use the active. 5) Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent. 6) Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous. A few sentences were absolutely nonsensical but they were all restricted to the first and second paragraphs.

Because there seems to be an idea that Steve Clarke is a really good manager because WBA punched above their weight for a few months in 2011?
-
Why because he is from Africa? And there seems to be an idea that all African footballers lie about their age?

The camp nou is fucking dead for atmosphere. And Cunt Fibreglass is starting as the 'false nine'. Gross.

How you can compare the two boggles the mind, really. I've read some stupid things in my life but that surely has to be somewhere near the top 5. Besides I'm not on here that often anymore, well during uni time anyway. Holidayz for the win.

I feel only regret for reading that. I have limited minutes to use in this lifetime and I'm devastated that I wasted just a few of them on reading that. I'm not even being factitious.

Ever consider that Chelsea weren't sloppy and Crystal Palace just had a particularly good game?

Arsenal first tough match and it's showing the world what pretenders they are.

I christen mine Van Damme. The penis from Brussles.

I can vouch for the hunger though. I really enjoyed all that food I ate last night. It's a mystery how habitual smokers are thin, though.

I know right? haaa.

I smoked weed with my mother. I am now a man in my tribe.
