Spike

Not many children are at the legal age to order pints of beer at pubs...

@Rmpr, your old dad looks like a famous Argentine....

Yo-yo dieter. I've been working on my cardio lately. I'm trying to get abs because I'm a vain bastard, haha.

It's the glasses. It must be!

Spike in August last year, drinking with my best mate that I hadn't seen in about a year (he took the photo). Relatively sober (first beer). Spike in all his hipster glory. My iPhone case reflected yellow/green when the flash is on. Drunk. Spike today, as an uncouth maverick. Hungover from the greatest day on the Gregorian Calendar.

I'll just redirect the tornados. That'll fix it.

You're going to have to ask nicer than that.

What do you think I look like? I have a feeling it'll be something like: "You look like a Spanish Goalkeeper."

Yeah, people tend to throw their weight around because they know most people can't do anything because of the ' consequences'. Still doesn't justify anything. I'm very loyal to those I consider my good friends I'd do anything for them if they needed it.

I had a pretty good Australia day actually. But my friend said he lost his dignity because of what this fuckhead did to him. I've had problems with that arsehole in the past so it wasn't anything new. I'd never seen my friend cry or anything like that but he was getting teary because of it. So angry just thinking about it. The problem is that I'm still living in a small town so if I did anything it would have bitten me on the arse twice as hard.

This guy upset one of my best friends tonight, I was literally ready to bottle this cunt if he laid a hand on my mate. Not even joking I probably would have fucked that guy up if he touched my friend. Still fucking pissed off about it, I kind of regret not kicking the cunt in the head. So pissed off.

One season of no trophies doesn't equate to almost a decade. I don't see this need to constantly compare how the team is now to other teams. The best thing is to compare this Chelsea to to the Chelsea of five years ago, not the Arsenal of five years ago. Or something like that, I didn't proof read.

Just appreciate that Makelele was 30 when he joined Chelsea! Age means a bit less for defensive minded players, I reckon, fowards hit their prime at 26-29 but I think defenders peak at 29-33. I'm just holding onto hope that Mikel will peak at 30 rather than 25. I think his style would be more suited to a 4-3-3. A midfield trio of players like Ramires/Tiote (ball winner), Mikel/Capoue (anchor) and Cabaye/Moutinho (playmaker/box to box) would be perfect.

I don't get where this idea that Mourinho leaves after three years come from. He has only done that twice, he left Porto after winning everything with them and left Inter after winning everything with them. He as fired from Chelsea and looks like he will be fired from Real Madrid. A complete assumption. How are Chelsea turning into Arsenal? Because the club is replacing the old guard with youth? Arsenal let Henry, Bergkamp, Toure, Adams, Keown, Pires, Ljungberg, Viera and Cambell leave. Who did they replace them that old guard with? Eboue, Van Persie, Clichy, Fabregas, Djourou, Nasri, Flamini, and where are all those players now? It's incredibly unlikely what happened to Arsenal over the last decade will happen to Chelsea. Chelsea have not been a selling club since Roman tookover and I doubt the club ever will be.

AUSTRALIA DAY

Got it on special. It was about $2600 (£1700) marked down to $1700 (£1100).

Agreed though I'm not sold on Brazil's defence at the moment. Alves? Marcelo? Not good enough to win the WC. Alves can defend really well but he often chooses not too and Marcelo can't defend at all and never does (unless kicking people's shins counts). Your midfield looks great, that's your main strength, a great mix of grit and flair. Ramires, Romulo, Ganso, Oscar, Hernanes, Fernandinho, that's a sold selection. Can't fathom why Ronaldinho is still getting minutes...Kaka even with his faults would be a better choice....he could be important next year... Trust me on this, you'll play Argentina at some point at the WC2014. Whether it's through rigged draws or dumb luck it has to happen. If Argentina is allowed on the ball to much they will destory Brazil, as their firepower is just too overwhelming however if Brazil wins the midfield battle, I think it's a formality.

Blue and white is much more aesthetically pleasing. In my (less biased opinion) Argentian is heads above the best country for producing Fowards and Defensive Midfielders. Brazil however has more greats from all over the pitch. Besides Javier Zanetti I don't think Argentina have ever had a world class defender! Haha!

A time machine for Maradona!?!?!?!

My RAM is 4x4 actually, I just remembered that! I got confused with my old computer which had a total of 8GB in 4x2, I just got a bit muddled up. I'm not quite sure, I've looked at the HDD and the sticker on the front says nothing about RPM (or much else for that matter) whereas on my past rigs it has. I had a look in the device manager and it revealed nothing and I even Googled the model number which revealed just about everything except the RPM.

It's just an unpartitioned internal HDD, I've no idea what company produced it or what model it is, as far as I'm concerned it's just generic. I don't normally concern myslef with things like the CPU cache but here is a screenshot: 2x8 RAM

You want to know my specs? Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit 2TB HDD 16GM RAM Dual Quadcore Intel i7 @ 3.40GHz 3GB Dedicated nVidia GeForce 545 That's probably all you want to know...

McAfee is bollocks. Get yourself some Norton. Or use Bit Torrent instead, it gives you a heads up if any of the files are infected. My current beast of a computer is virus free since I bought it, becuz im tech savvy.

Swansea are only being insulted by proxy. Because you know...

It's amazing that the most negative websites out all the ones I've visited today are this and Off The Crossbar. Hell, I went to the Bleacher Report and most journalists (haha) are slamming the ballboy and so are the commenters, haha. It's not a lack of intelligence, my friend; it's just different opinions and philosophies. I understand what you are saying and most of it I agree with, I'm just disappointed you are attributing the differing opinions on differentiating levels of intelligence. Because even facts as concrete and objective as they exist are still open to subjective interpretation and that's where most people conflict. What I saw was not something that was intrinsically wrong [he didn't kick the ball boy] but something that be interpretated as wrong [he handled the situation very poorly as he shouldn't have put himself in that position in the first place and it (falsely) appeared that he assualted the ball boy on when viewed on different angles]. In the heat of the moment yes, he deserved a red card, in retrospective less so, but what's done is done and I don't believe and appeal should be lodged however if they appeal is accepted I won't complain... However I don't think he deserves anything more than the usual three match ban, given that the incident didn't occur as first observed and that it wasn't and intentional attack, like Cantona's jump kick or Joey Barton's (fairly weak compared to rugby...) rampage against ManCity. It was reckless and impulsive and he should know better, but given that he is human and like all of us is subject to rushes of emotion that cloud judgement, we shouldn't be too harsh. And in the end he and all the ball boy showed maturity by apologising and moving on. If only the media could show such maturity!
