  1. 90% Passes Completed 3 Chances Created 2 Assists 7 Ball Recoveries 2 Take-Ons 2 Tackles 1 Clearance
  2. For me, he's the second most talented player in our squad after Hazard which makes it even more frustrating!
  3. If only Willian would make up his mind as quickly..
  4. Depends on CSKA: -If CSKA win, City have to win or get a scoring draw to finish 3rd. -If CSKA draw, they'd have to draw with any scoreline to get third (Roma would be second, and CSKA 4th). -If CSKA lose, City would finish third ONLY if they draw 0-0 with Roma. Personally, I'd like them to go through because the EL is played at a completely different intensity than the CL which is obviously a lot more consuming. They are not a threat to us in the CL, imo.
  5. The City group calculations give me a serious headache. The rules are, if two teams have the same points, you refer to the H2H matches between them unless the H2H is exactly the same then you go for the general GD. But if 3 teams are tied with the same points, you refer to the GD in the matches played between the three teams only. Now, all of City, Roma and CSKA have 5 points, that means: - If Roma get a win, they go through regardless of the other result. - If City win in Rome, they go through unless CSKA beat Bayern in which case the Russians go through because of the H2H with City. - Similarly, if CSKA win they go through unless Roma win and qualify on H2H. - Now, if City get a 2-2 or higher score draw they qualify on away goals in the H2H against Roma as long as Bayern beat CSKA; in this scenario, if CSKA get a draw against Bayern, all three teams would be on 6 points and they send Roma through as the team with the best GD in the matches between them. If CSKA win, they go through on points. - If City get a 1-1 draw, they go through on general GD as long as Bayern beat CSKA. Again, if CSKA get a draw against Bayern in this case, all three teams would be on 6 points and they send Roma through as the team with the best GD in the matches between them. If CSKA win, they go through on points. Pretty simple, eh?
  6. Where I come from, that's how you make love! Plus, that cum-stained picture of me in suit under your pillow begs to differ :eyebrows:
  7. Damn, Iva, that would've been goal of the season!
  8. His head completely shot-circuited on that goal!
  9. I think it's FOI: "Fairly Obvious Information" because I could honestly tell from the tone of your previous post before you even said it
  10. Schalke: Fahrmann, Neustadter, Santana, Howedes, Uchida, Fuchs, Kirchhoff, Boateng, Hoger, Choupo-Moting, Huntelaar. Rule of thumb: Rob Beasley is most likely wrong in anything he says
  11. Courtois, Ivanovic, Terry, Cahill, Filipe Luis, Fabregas, Matic, Schurrle, Oscar, Hazard, Costa.
  12. Seriously, how in the world is that guy a pundit? I watched him 'analyzing' Liverpool and I think I know less now than before I watched! My bet is that Gary's mother told him that he's not allowed to go do punditry unless he takes his brother with him...
  13. This is a very good article by Ben White about proposed "Jewish state only" law in Israel right now is no new news: https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/blogs/politics/15457-jewish-state-law-furore-misses-the-point-israel-already-discriminates
  14. Looks like electing a black president doesn't eliminate racism. Very worrying how much the militarized police have power there. Unfortunately there is very little that the protests can achieve under the circumstances. I missed you, please don't leave me again I feel like I'm not getting my point across regarding this, so let me try to simplify it: The definition you used for terrorism makes everyone involved in warfare, at least in the region, a terrorist which makes the label completely meaningless, because if everyone is a terrorist then the ethics of warfare in the world are no where near the standards you are putting up which would mean that the issue is not group-related but global. Further more, the international use of term "terrorism" seems to be very different than what you suggest and rather completely and utterly political rather than ethical. Take Syria for example. The so called "moderate opposition" also kill civilians and behead people like ISIS and Al Nusra (granted not in as much force or numbers because they are obviously weaker) but they are not labeled as terrorists but instead are being strengthened by the US and the coalition to become as strong as ISIS like "Ahrar Al Sham". There are no ideological differences between ISIS and Ahrara Al Sham. The differences are all political. Now, do I condemn everything that Hezbollah has done? I don't, there are attacks against civilians, especially when they first started, that I cannot accept. Do I think Hezbollah are 'bad'? No, the good they have done for this country and the region by far outweighs the bad and their existence is crucial for the existence of Lebanon. Almost all of the incidents I've mentioned above have been directly aimed at civilians and none have been punished. The Israeli army even has military strategy where they aim to maximize destruction and civilian death; they call it the "Dahiya Doctrine": http://www.bbc.co.uk...canada-22683261 Do I know what was going through McCain's head? No. Do I think he went on a official capacity? It doesn't seem that way. Personally I think he went there to talk to Salim Idris and to he thought was against Assad, not to promote ISIS or a conspiracy. It would fit with what we know of him and his subsequent actions. Would I deal with the North Storm Brigade. No. Apart from Baghdadi, the rest of the ones I've mentioned were confirmed by the opposition websites and social media accounts. Of course you won't find them in major western news outlets. Those are the "wrong kind of facts". I honestly doubt McCain knew who he was meeting with or he would not have allowed the pictures to be taken. But that's besides the point because real cooperation and planning doesn't happen at the level of senators, that visit was clearly meant as a publicity stunt. However, it does show the kind of people and groups that the US was backing and arming. Because, let's be real, McCain didn't just meet some random people, the meeting was obviously set up by the agents in the US government/army who do organize with these groups. Which was the original point I made: The US backing and arming and funding the extremist groups in Syria just like they did in Libya and Afghanistan and even Egypt. Of course Hezbollah has more weapons than the Lebanese army. Our army has nothing! I know it's hard to understand for someone who doesn't know Lebanon, but "official" and reality are two VERY different things. It would take decades of arming and training, even without a 'ban', for our army to even stand a chance against the IOF. That is why Hezbollah, as the current main component of the resistance, is needed, because they are the only thing stopping an Israeli invasion and occupation anytime they like. EDIT: Forgot to answer this but aside from the fact that the Lebanese army is not equipped to face the IOF, the main reason why there was never a declaration of war is because Lebanon has never officially considered Israel as a state. According to our constitution, it is a Zionist entity occupying Palestine, never a state. Having an official declaration of war against Israel would be admitting to its right to exist which Lebanon has never done.
  15. More from her and less from that deluded idiot, please.
  16. Are you saying you're wanking to her and not to me now?! :o
  17. Apparently they are. Dunno why I thought Brown was 19, he's very mature for his age! On Boga, yeah, that is indeed a worry. And I think it has to do with his style of playing a bit as well. He likes to take on players and go where the tackles are flying in. Not everyone has the ability of the likes of Hazard and Ronaldo to take heavy tackles and then get right back up.
  18. Anyone's got a stream for the U19s match? It just started.
  19. Well, he's younger than the likes of Baker and Brown , so I guess he is being protected.
  20. Isn't club trained as well? That would also help in the CL.
  21. That would've really pissed off the scousers!
  22. Well, Europe obviously wasn't an option at the time with the ban, do you think he could have actually won us a title?
