  1. Don't be like that. Nobody likes an 'I told you so'.
  2. My favourite NFL team is the Chicago Bears because they are a joke and sometimes I need to have a laugh after a fucking Chelsea match.
  3. It's not anti-football. There is no such thing; that is just a buzzword created by condescending mongs that think there is only one way to skin a cat. There is nothing wrong with defensive solidarity and tactics as long as it is done correctly. This is just fucking boring; no mincing words. Just boring.
  4. I used to think Pep Guardiola's tactics were the epitome of wanking the ball around the penalty box with needless passes but then modern Chelsea and Jose Mourinho happened.
  5. I always love a good diving header from a defender. I'd love a goal more but it's a not a bad consolation.
  6. You could euthanise people with a Chelsea match.
  7. Of course it will make a difference. Suicides and murders plummeted in Australia due to difficulty of gaining weapons after they laws were legislated in 1995. The average joe schmoe isn't going to go out of his way to get guns if they are illegal, sure the radicals might but they are the minority. It won't stop gang violence or a organised violence that happens but it will make it a lot harder for a 15 year old to go to school and shoot up the place. A 15 year old doesn't have the connections to get weapons, most of the time they get it from their parents or vendors. It also makes it harder for people to kill themselves, a lot of people kill themselves only because a gun is easy to use and quick. Deterrence doesn't work like that. I've said it before I'll say it again: everyone having guns proves nothing. There is too much human error to be involved. A criminal can easily rob someone because there is a 50/50 chance that they won't get shot. Not everyone has what it takes to attack someone that is robbing them or shoot them in retaliation. It can also raise tensions making people preemptively attack in fear of being attacked first. This could cause robbers simply to murder their target instead preemptively instead of simply just robbing them. Everyone being armed only makes people more alarmed. That was the major fault in nuclear deterrence during the cold war. Russia was afraid the USA would attack and vice versa. But if they managed to get a preemptive strike that destroyed the other before retaliation it would secure their safety but a screw up could ensure mutual annihilation. But then there is the issue of the 50/50 reaction. What if the person in charge didn't want to retaliate and ensure mutual destruction? There are too many loopholes in deterrence to take it seriously as a solution. Do not forget that in 1962 the world was literally one press of a button away from Nuclear holocaust. If not for one submariner's refusal to attack the world as we know it wouldn't exist.
  8. I can't say I'm a huge fan of this sort of predatory buying. It's once thing to buy a player from a club, it's another to buy 1/4 of their bloody starting XI.
  9. If that wasn't a penalty neither was this. #brothersinarms
  10. Defenders typically have long shelf lives. Think about it like this: in two years, his contract would have run out, so either the club can renew his contract on probably higher wages or let him go for free. This gives the club a little wiggle room; especially if they ever want to sell him. Besides, he signed a 2 year deal anyway. He had two years left + two added.
  11. That is a good summary of what Adebayor isn't. No, no, no, no, no. Everytime no.
  12. Well those some are wrong as in every definition of North America, central-america is a part of it. There is no country that officially recognises central-America as it's own continent or as a part of South America. Central-America is always a part of North-America.
  13. Thanks for the idea. Shared far too many too be a coincidence. Could be a friend or family member but that doesn't matter on the anonymous internet.

  15. Whaddya talking about? Central America is apart of North America or simply the American supercontinent. There are no continental divisions taught in any country that list Central America as a part of South America or as a separate continent.
  16. Robben scores goals because he cuts inside with his accurate left. Everyone knows this but it doesn't help them.
  17. No I didn't say that at all, please refrain from putting words in my mouth. I was more referencing early development in childhood and teens years.
  18. What an English thing to say. I'd say technical skill is either something a person works hard at or doesn't.
  19. I would have thought that too but then Schweinsteiger left.
