Great performance by him today. Definitely his best game for us so far. More of this, please.

5 more to equal the PL record and 6 to break. Will be very tough to achieve this season, unfortunately.

No need to rush him back while we have someone like Petr as "backup". As Jose said, 100% Petr > 85% Thibaut.

That was fun :blue scalf:

Am I the only one who thinks this is the perfect game to put Remy on?

Second game for them, right? I read he absolutely bossed it on his debut. Impressed a lot of people.

On the hypocrisy and the media double-standards on the "right to offend": http://www.medialens.org/index.php/2015/783-charlie-hebdo-and-the-war-for-civilisation.html An excellent must-read article.

"Can't see City dropping point" In their last three EPL matches, they have lost 2 goal leads to Burnley and Sunderland and drew with Everton. They're hardly setting the world alight to merit all this hype..

Anyone know what the deal with him is? Last thing I read a week or so ago is that we may not be able to loan him to Bordeaux because he's played 45 minutes with Burnley and a random game or something with our U21s so he's already been technically feature for two different clubs this season and can't feature for a third according to UEFA rules.

Won't hold my breathe until he actually plays for them. Still time for him to end the loan before it even begins! It was the work of his agent.

Yeah, his positioning is pretty bad for a supposed top goal keeper. Always seems to be a step off where he should be. Even in FKs you can see it. And when I say technique, I mean his shot saving technique which is unorthodox to say the least. Particularly for low shots where he for some reason always tries to save with his feet first instead of hands. And yes, inconsistency, hence why he's been dropped many times over his performances since he joined utd. People forget this, but when he was chosen the best keeper of the year two season ago, he had been dropped for almost two months by SAF in that very season for his poor form. De Gea, is however, probably the best in the world at making reflex saves which are the most "glamorous" and make him look very good. No, none of what I mentioned, apart from inconsistency in deal with crosses and high balls, applied to Petr. Petr, for me, remains as the best in the world at positioning and anticipation, maybe on par only with Neuer in that area. Hence why A LOT of the really difficult saves he makes look fairly easy (example in the last match against Newcastle, the low save to his right he made at 0-0. De Gea would have most probably let that one in.

Those are Europol stats about Europe alone. I doubt you can find anything like that for Africa, or even make an estimation for that matter. Countless tribe on tribe violence, separatists attacks, militias, ivory trade mobs, drug wars...etc. Boko Haram are inhuman, but there are plenty of other pretty terrible militias and tribes in Africa. The attacks listed are the ones that are defined by the police as terrorist. So, no, I really doubt that school pranks are there. Those also include the failed and foiled attacks. So plans that have been stopped before they materialize are also on the list (talking about the ones in Europe, the FBI link shows the attacks that actually took place). The environmentalists are probably mostly burning down offices or attempts at placing homemade bombs or plans for hostage taking or things of the sort. Is the definition of terrorism subjective? Of course it is. For example, there have been an estimated 60 attacks in France since the Chrlie Hebdo incident on mosques, Muslim cultural centers...etc. with guns, grenades and Molotovs but these are not classified by the French police as "terrorist". In the US and most of Europe, attacks against Muslims are labeled "hate crimes". But yes, you are obviously right. The attacks by radical Muslims in recent years tend to be a lot more deadly and there is a very simple explanation for that: these radical Muslim groups originate from countries that have been for decades the stage for for world power conflicts which has created environments of complete chaos due to the intervention of those world powers like Iraq Libya and Syria now or Afghanistan, Pakistan and Chechnya before. This and the enormous amounts of funding and weapons that were and are still are being poured into these countries (mostly by those same western countries they are targeting) gives rise to groups that are very organized, very well trained and with access and experience in a lot of weapons that are capable of these more lethal attacks. So the severity of the attacks is more down to circumstances, funding, arming, freedom to plot and plan and lack of ability to stop these groups from outside the target states than to religion or culture or race as is largely being advertised for in mainstream media. It is not even questionable that the so called "Islamic threat" is being magnified beyond belief in the public eye. The actual threat, and there undoubtedly is one, is no where near what the perception for it is (I refer you to the Economist graphic I posted above in this page).

Reading that this clip has been banned on dailymotion in France. Some freedom of speech defenders.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0brG6JLrpYE PS: Le-pen! :lol:

Very weird. When I copy the link and paste it here, it stops working. Try it this way: google "fbi reports and publications terrorism 2002 2005" and it should come up as the first result. Should work this way. EDIT: Original link works now.

I am honestly embarrassed for them! They might as well be wearing a "small club mentality" badge

In Europe for the years 2006, 2007 and 2008 (from Europol): And here you can find the FBI record I mentioned of all of the 318 terrorist attack in the USA between 1980 and 2005 and who committed each: https://www.google.com.lb/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CB4QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fbi.gov%2Fstats-services%2Fpublications%2Fterrorism-2002-2005&ei=WTy5VJi_CYfZatXggLAO&usg=AFQjCNF8fW7KVr5Vy8YgfT8zyDKPzAFyJQ&sig2=l9J0kdooxFnkHcbg8-57Dw&bvm=bv.83829542,d.d2s (right at the end there is a table summarizing everything that includes the perpetrators of each terrorist act)

Another hostage situation in Paris today. All the interest and the media coverage evaporated when the French police announced that the situation was "not terror related", meaning the hostage taker is a non-Muslim white man. After that, the issue is done as far as the public is concerned and won't make it into your news again, or if it did, it would be something along the lines of "suspicion of a terrorist hostage situation that turned out to be a man with a mental illness". The involvement of Muslims has now become a necessary condition for anything to be labeled as "terrorist" by the media and no one even contests that. "Why do we feel like it's always the Muslims doing the terrorist acts?" Maybe because that is how your media defines terrorism?! In reality, according to Europol, between 2006 and 2013, only 0.7% of all the terrorist acts committed in the EU have been done by radical Muslims. 6% in the USA between 1980 and 2005 according to official FBI records. The perception of the public of the so called "Islamic threat" is hugely magnified by the Islamophobic propagandist media in order to create a crippling fear in the public to secure and increase state power. This is shown pretty conclusively by this graphic by the Economist:

Speaking of Tottenham: Wonder when the DVD is out I actually feel a bit sympathetic for the sad cunts.....

HAHAHA Okay. Maybe if we forget his awful positioning, physical weakness in the air, failure to deal with crosses, average technique, atrocious footwork and lack of consistency....then sure..

Of course, we've already sold out all the tickets for the match against Liverpool, meanwhile, the "best club in history" with the "best fans in the world" have had to put tickets on general sale: http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-fc-v-chelsea-fc-8445251

Just been confirmed that City will lose to Arsenal since Pellegrino has been named the manager of the month. Big chance to get the gap back to five points!

Don't forget to add "o"s at the end of worlds

Actually, the source they are quoting says nothing about that at all. This is coming from:
