On the bright side, off to the south till Thursday

I'm on holiday as well, but today is the Eid and had to get up early to go visit the family

I haven't even tried, I just looked at the clock and was surprised to see 2:30 am! I don't know why I'm not even sleepy..

Because Mandzukic has assets that fit Guardiola's system better. He's ten times the diver that Lewa is!

I need to be up less than 5 hours from now...I think I need to go to bed now..

The truth hurts, Jay-jay

Tbh, I'd be more confident if they hadn't beat City. They deserved that victory as well. They can definitely play. Better than Fulham, imho.

Haha, well he's younger than Frank!

Welcome James, great to have you here If you need anything, feel free to contact me or any other admin/mod ( except for @, he's an outright cunt )

Well that was surprisingly sensible and level-headed. What the hell has gotten into Martin Lipton?!

Hey, don't use those mind games on me!

I think Hummels will be a terrible partner for Luiz. They are very similar, he's basically a worse David Luiz. I think he needs a partner who is physical and aerially dominant like JT. Someone who has the intelligence to cover for him while he anticipates passes and breaks up plays.

Working fine for me, must be your browser.

Oops, my bad. Still he's younger than Frank and Ash

Right! I remember that from 8th grade biology I've donated once when the red cross had a campaign for people to donate and another when a family member of my friend's needed blood, so no, not to a specific hospital. We have some groups in Lebanon where you register your number and blood type and when someone needs your blood type they give them your number. I meant that he obviously can't donate every week. He actually got Anemia from donating too much at the start of last summer and hasn't been able to donate since.

I'd like to see Kevin as well, possibly in the number 10 role which he performed brilliantly well in during preseason. Give Oscar who flew halfway across the globe a rest. Mata/Willian on the right and Schurrle on the left.

Haha, I love your breasts, ya ahbe

I'm still laughing here Tom, you can't do that to me!

I think that we'll likely move Frank and Ashley on, perhaps Cech given the Courtois situation, but JT is not that old, he's still 31 and if Frank was given an extension last season despite the rumors of Roman not being happy with him, I think JT will get a one year extension this season.

Who wrote that for you? LMAOOO

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I'm literally on the floor here! CAN'T....BREATHE!!!!

Good Sorry, I can't translate it, it just becomes very lame....would be much easier if you just learned Arabic!

Once or twice, but my blood type, A+, is the most available here in Lebanon (not sure if the world as whole as well) so there's no real need. My best friend has a blood type of AB-. He gets calls to donate blood almost every week (obviously he can't answer them all).

Yeah, of course we can't go into next season with only Luiz Cahill and Kalas. But I'm assuming we renew JT's contract as he's been one of our best players along side Oscar so far.

That is an unfortunately frequent misconception. There aren't two groups of players in a team one responsible for attack and the other for defense. When you have a proper system, you attack as a team and, perhaps more importantly, you defend as a team. Meaning every single one of the eleven players has a defensive duty. That's how you get the most out of your team. As for building a team around him, I think it is best that we build a team on a footballing philosophy rather than around a player. What happens if he gets a long-term injury or hands in a transfer request? A philosophy lasts for years and provides stability and consistency regardless of who comes and goes.
