  1. A club desperate to sell will take whatever others are willing to give, they are in no position to play hardball, but they can definitely bluff. It's either sink or swim.
  2. Rastafari movement speaking about nature... yeah, I can see what Malouda actually meant by retweeting this.
  3. Oh ffs, the most annoying part is that Ramires is viewed as a winger. I hope that's only Eddie's view, not Robbie's, but there's little to suggest that.
  4. you were only 17 and now you're what, 18? that's a long time E: damn, I missed the point of your post. sorry, now I understand.
  5. Amazing, isn't it? In fact, you are me, I am you... why am I talking to myself?
  6. In the state of Queensland, Australia, it is still constitutional law that all pubs, hotels and bars must have a railing outside for patrons to tie up their horse. is it so?
  7. Cech, provided he's still a regular after John and Frank step down. If not, then Cahill or Ivanovic. No other real contenders, but we may sign some.
  8. They are probably trying to stop him from waking up
  9. Tub? I'm not talking about a tub, I'm talking about sauna. Anyway, you talk, drink beer, whisk yourself if you want and throw sauna steam (I don't know if it's right to say so). And you don't have to be naked, you can wear a towel or swimsuit. You can read about it in wikipedia, Estonia is also mentioned there quite a lot, even in a separate chapter. It seems us and Finns are the most avid users
  10. Well, strangers (mostly homeless people) go only to community saunas to wash or in spas to relax. But mainly it's a recreational thing what you do with friends or family.
  11. My condolences. I know what it feels like losing a friend.
  12. As I said, it's very popular here. Everybody likes it, I'm in a great minority.
  13. Dieter Rams: Apple has achieved something I never did
  14. You mean a sauna? Here it's very popular and average degrees in which people boil is 90-100 celsius, hardcores go over that. I'm not a fan of it either, but it's supposed to be healthy and it does feel good after coming out and splashing yourself with cold water.
  15. Soon? It's almost 6 in the morning here.. my biological clock is screwed up. And I know you have good eyes because I've seen your picture
  16. Hello my friend, I see you still got your sharp eyes. Anyways, good night
  17. You miss the point. This game was one of many in the last ~2 years. We often look lost against big teams with established game plans. Too often I've heard commentators saying we play without purpose or direction, I don't like to hear that but I can't disagree with it either. I don't think it's solely about attitude, and even if it is, then our players' mentality is too complacent. We get to point A again, because we haven't had a manager who's had a chance to establish his style. And somewhy when we hit a rocky patch, it's really bad and hard to get out of. Our team has been too inconsistent in the last few years, we can play either brilliantly or terribly.
  18. Everything that he said makes sense. Aggressive pressure on our midfield has often worked for the opponents, because we are often static and slow in that department, hence the frequent backpasses to goalkeeper, who has no other option but to hoof it and we naturally lose the ball without DD. To counter it we should start exploiting the spaces left in the final third by their high press more effectively, which other teams often do against us when we go further up - a quick pass to the striker/attacking midfielder/winger and quick combinations in front of the backline without giving them chance to properly recover. That is the reason why I think Mikel and Lampard pivot isn't a permanent solution - Lampard, when under pressure, can't hold onto the ball and opts for the safe backpass... while Mikel, who can hold on, plays mostly horizontally or not quick enough directly, so the opponents can drop back and anticipate the forward pass, in which case we need to start playing positional attack again, which hinders our quick new attacking players in a congested area and tempo.
  19. ISTJs are responsible, loyal and hard working. They have an acute sense of right and wrong and work hard at preserving established norms and traditions. Because of their deep sense of duty they are dedicated to everything they do and are very dependable. ISTJs care deeply for those closest to them.
