THIS IS ENGLAND

Inter are an interesting team and Mazzarri is an interesting coach. I look forward to seeing their lineup and formation. Going off his time at Napoli I believe Inter will use a 3-4-3 formation. Icardi Kovacic - Palacio Pereira - Guarin - Cambiasso - Schelotto Ranocchia - Samuel - Jesus Handanovic

I don't drink any of those beers because they aren't really popular in Australia. Try a night on VB that'll give you a hangover worth remembering. You literally have to build a tolerance to a VB hangover.

Maggot means very, very drunk. And now today I'm munted. Just before I munged out on some Nando's paela. Australian slang does have it's lovely sounds.

Goddamn I was maggot last night. I talked to some crazy people. Good night, everyone was maggot as fuck when we got back to the house.

I wouldn't use the VIP section. I find the idea completely ridiculous. I have nothing to say in an exclusive section where only a select few can interact.

Well it needs to be said that it's not a transfer window without a painfully prolonged Chelsea transfer saga. At least this saga is no way near as painful and torturing as the Modric, Hulk, and Robinho sagas.

Haha, he has packed on a few kilos over the holidays. Too many sangrias and fajitas for Juan.

Didn't see that coming. I guess this is the reason they call it 'funny season'. Well he will bring defenisve solidarity to Barcelona, the one thing they are lacking at the moment. A good appointment if true.

What do you drink normally on a night out/in?

Sort of. He can play DM like Essien can play RB. He can do it, but it doesn't look comfortable.

Come on Australian All Stars.

You are a year older but you are still a cunt. In fact your probably a bigger cunt.

What the fuuuuck...how did you survive that? How are you not in hospital right now? You silly boy, all that work to trim fat, wasted! you dun goofed

That's only one way to look at it. Inter for instance only retired number 3 after Giacinto Facchetti passed away in 2006, the man that gave over 40 years of service to that club and only that club. I don't buy into the idea that any club has the 'mentality' to retire a shirt because 'that's as good as it's going to get'/'won't get any better than this', intentional or not. I believe that's just an entirely cynical and negative view on it.

Agreed that number 1-11 shouldn't be retired, but that other stuff seems pretty mental to me! I find the whole retiring numbers a silly practice. I wouldn't mind if the old days returned when the starting XI wore the number 1-11.

So much is really up for debate. The squad depth would be unbelievable. I haven't even included Lazar Markovic, Alen Halilovic, Nemanja Matic, Goran Pandev among others.

Hey have you heard about this new invention!?! Scientists call it the television. I think it's nonsense but they say you can look at moving pictures on it from your home! You don't need to go the theatre anymore? What will they think of next?!

I doubt it. Sheva was Roman's idol, past 30, missused and neglected by Jose. If Sheva got the chances that Torres has been given I am 100% certain he would have been a success. And just for a heads up Ferando Torres as confirmed by Ray Wilkins was an Ancelloti signing. As far as I know Romam has only ever pushed for one player, Sheva.

He was fired from Chelsea for his apparent taste for the drink.

YOU DON'T SAY? NEXT THING I KNOW, YOU'LL BE LECTURING ME ABOUT HOW THERE WAS A SECOND WORLD WAR.

Haha, look the Spaniard thinks he knows Australia. The last time I checked Redfern, Parramatta, Canterberry, Bankstown, Liverpool were all in NSW.

Haha, go fuck yourself.8 YEARS It's doesn't roll if the tongue as nicely as seven years. But still it sounds better than zero years.

Eight years.
