I'm surprised this topic hasn't gone into total meltdown.

Well in English White, Grey, Black, Green are typical last names. You get Rossi in Italian that means Red.

What are you talking about?

Who cares? There are lot of Aussies with Eastern European heritage playing for the Socceroos but that's it. Heritage. They are Aussies so they play for the Socceroos. If they weren't, they'd be trying to play for Croatia or Ukraine. German, Mexican, English, Scottish or Russian. It doesn't matter, if they show up for the team and play with passion and love, that's all you can ask for.

THIS STARTED OUT AS PRAISE FOR VAN GINKEL BUT TURNED INTO A RANT. PROCEED AT OWN RISK. He looks like a proper number 8 all action midfielder like Lampard, Gerrard, Ballack, Marchisio and Matthaus. Those are the type of players I think about when I think of the 'perfect midfielder'. Players that give 100% every match, that lead by example, that take the game by the scruff of the neck, that man-up and take penalties when they need to be scored. None of these poncey regista types that graze about passing the ball around like it's a hot potato. Xavi, Pirlo, Carrick, Schweinsteiger...all brilliant players in their own right but they can fuck right off as far as I'm concerned. They don't run around and kick people enough for my tastes. That brings me back to Schweinsteiger. He isn't world class. He isn't a leader. A leader takes it for the team, the good and the bad. For instance in the CL against Chelsea, where was Bastian when it was penalty time? He let Robben walk all over him and waltz right up to the spot to take the personal glory. All Robben wanted was to be the guy that won the match. Bastian should have said fuck that, puffed out his chest and stamped his goddamn authority on the team. You think Lampard, Ballack or Gerrard would let a ponce like Robben walk all over them and demand the penalty? They would have told him to fuck off back to Holland while they smashed that ball into the top corner like a motherfucking leader of men.

How fucking Scottish Is Ryan Davidson's name? It's like my name being Barry Brian or Stingray's being Willem-Claude Jan van Sneijder or Peace's being Pierre-Yves St Etienne de le Douche-Blanc or rmpr's being Ramires Ronaldo Torres Silva.

Ryan Davidson

You what, mate?

Anyone follow ice hockey? I'm getting NHL2013 soon and I'm wondering what team I should play as. Leaning towards the Montreal Canadiens right now, mainly because if I were to do a year abroad I'd like to do Montreal.

The most anti-climatic end to the Wayne Rooney saga would be if Chelsea sign Samuel Eto'o.

2-0 with goals from Marco van Ginkel and Eden Hazard. CALLED IT HERE FIRST, FOLKS.

And in the end you did add quite a lot of nonsense. Mainly because there are 200 pages of nonsense not 400.

I was a RB that was good at kicking people and arguing with the ref. The end. Not even lying.

Waking up in Slient Hill.

I don't think he is 6'11. He is 186cm...

Bloomberg lists the most vice prone countries. http://www.buzzfeed.com/jakel11/the-worlds-most-vice-prone-countries Try and guess who number 1 is with all the vices selected.

You write the check and I'll deliver it myself.

Really in the long shot of things a loss here is brilliant. It brings the lads back down to earth and gives Jose further insight on what needs tinkering with.

You'll get sick of doing these soon. You'll see, you'll see.

Skateboarding. Freak stack. Tried to drop into a really steep bowl, when I've literally never dropped in.

That's me. It's the risk taking associated with one half of my affliction.

Asspergers isn't a laughing matter. 89% of kids nowadays have it due to government forced vaccinations. Really depends on what you find more disgusting.
