Spike

Of course it's a popularity contest. Nearly everything concerning democracy is a popularity contest. It's naïve it beleive otherwise. I can't understand why you're criticising it because of that. MOTM is always going to be the most popular user of the month. For instance let's say an Arsenal fan joins the forum and throughout the month makes top quality posts, that are better than everything else on the forum so good they make everyone look like brain dead fools. Will he get MOTM? Fuck no, he is an Arsenal fan, he can go to hell. Or another another instance, let's say a Chelsea fan makes some of the best and most relevent posts during a month, clearly he is the best poster but saying that he is an overly hostile arsehole that attacks people for disagreeing with him. Will he win MOTM? Fuck no, he is arsehole, he can go to hell. Shogun is one of the better posters of this forum (in my opinion), and I don't think he has even received a single nomination for this award. Why? Probably because he is an Evertonian. There seems to be a stigma nowadays where people seem to think that popular=rubbish.

@Muzchap,

Yes. But there is enough East Asian, Indians, West Asians and Irish to provide good cultural and racial tension! Rarely our ping is that bad.

I'll rate the final version. Looks nice though.

Because Willian is a midfielder, right?

I'd like to go to Perth, but damn that is just too far away. Best country in the world. Unless your sensitive to racism. Then don't come here.

I love Australia.

Damn you...

Yes. Nothing more to say.

Protest; it's time. Sources: Spike are very good at speaking and penning England. Me was learned well at school.

Chelsea is merely a means to an end for a man to resurrect his career. Whether the resurrection is successful or not remains to be seen. Intrinsically selfish.

Never heard of him.

Good for him.

What a terrible name to go through school with.

It works on most forums.

Thank fuck Cap isn't here to read this.

Might want to put up spoiler tags and an NSFW warning. It's hard to tell what's going on, but I imagine they are dead.

I don't really care how old players are. I'd sign Zanetti if I could. That guy still has at least a couple of years left in him. I can't talk highly enough of Gonalons. I can't understand why M'Vila gets all this praise whilst Gonalons is just quietly doing an amazing job. His is a tough character too, when he was a teenager he got over a staph infection that threatened amputation on his ankle, but he soldiered on, and here he is now, skipper of his club. Criminally underrated.

People are dying in Queensland due to the floods. A four year old boy was crushed by a tree because his 'mother' took him outside to have a look around.

I could stand to delete a few. Only about 30 worth having methinks.

This guy is just brilliant. A central midfielder with great defensive and attacking skills. Able to get stuck in with the best of them and pass with a touch of finesse. I'm surprised the Lyonais skipper hasn't been linked with a single club, in this window or any of the previous. I'd take him over Capoue, Benat, Tiote or M'Vila. Cabaye and Moutinho are the only two players higher on my list of potential new central midfielders. He would work well in the two man midfield with someone like Cabaye. Cabaye's a little more offensive so it would be a great balance. His paltry five caps for France is testament to how the FFF is run by complete muppets. It would be worth raiding Lyon in the summer... Note: Spike refuses to use the term 'double pivot' because it a stupid term and everyone that uses it should be ashamed.

I love that. My friend showed me about a year ago. It became a drinking song for us.

I have about 90 friends on FB.
