Love it how he calls them his teammates, not ex-teammates

Are you serious? Probably sarcastic But if not, then how can you call Russia a civilised western country? Throughout history they've opposed themselves to west. And Russia is the leading country of neo-nazis, it's an extremely xenophobic and racist nation. Anyway, like everything else there, their football league is corrupt.. that's where they get the money.

Meireles was our "Ballack" last season. True, a more flawed version of him, but nonetheless. Ballack was also often labelled a flop or not good enough, but everybody realized his worth after he'd gone. He was our midfield workhorse who didn't seem to have any objections to being a stand-in squad player, and to be honest, you can't find many better squad players than him. He is the type of guy you want to throw in to harrass the opposition and cover more miles. We will miss him once we realize that we have to play our fatigued starters in less important Capital One Cup games, when we lack options, when Lampard realizes he has no more competition, or when injuries screw us over.

What? Meireles has left? What were the club thinking? We have considerably weakened our weakest position with the departures of Essien and Meireles. Who do we have now? Mikel, Lampard, Ramires and the lost son Romeu... this midfield won't last the whole season unless we revert to 4-3-3, I see no players there who can play in 4-2-3-1 consistently in an honours challenging side. Playing Oscar there will murder his potential and won't benefit us in defence, which is shit as it is.

Yeah, it'd be weird if you were loud with yourself

Can't be bothered to make the test, but I'm definitely an introverted melancholic phlegmatic.

Fuck.. I liked the idea of him being as far away from Barcelona as possible.

Lampard has been written off numerous times, I can't even count. Yet he's always found a way to come back... actually it's his pattern, he always starts the season slowly, he said so himself. I am tempted to jump on the bandwagon, but I'm more cautious now with things involving Lamps, because he's proven us wrong before. One thing is for sure, he's a year older than last season and at his age every year counts, so he will keep getting slower, that's inevitable. And there is also the matter whether he suits in the midfield two with Mikel in an offensive shape.. and the answer is no, not on consistent basis, they're too slow together.

Yes

I don't care about the skysports deadline show, but I'm watching purely because of the female presenters. Is that wrong? They sure know how to lure and keep viewers.

The competition was originally played over two legs, one at each participating club's stadium, except in exceptional circumstances; for instance in 1991 when Red Star Belgrade were not permitted to play a second leg in their native Yugoslavia due to the civil war which was taking place at the time. Between 1998 and 2012, the final has been a single match, played at the Stade Louis II in Monaco. From 2013 onwards, various stadiums will be used. The following venues for future UEFA 2013: Eden Stadium, Prague, Czech Republic 2014: Cardiff City Stadium, Cardiff, Wales 2015: Mikheil Meskhi Stadium, Tbilisi, Georgia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Super_Cup#Venue

The Super Cup has always been held at the Stade Louis II stadium. This year will be the last one there though.

It didn't feel like revenge to me tbh. I had actually forgotten about that 2009 tie. We fucked ourselves at that time, we had an advantage and couldn't capitalize on it. Yes the ref was a wanker throughout, but it was he who gave us the hilarious 1 man advantage and we still had to resort to penalty appeals even when we were dominating them... and Iniesta should never have been in position to make the shot, that was another fuck up from our side. It always feels good beating them just because they are considered the best. But I didn't see it as revenge so I won't vote. After winning the trophy I was thinking more about 2008, that finally we'd corrected the mistake. When you think about 2008 and 2009 and the manners in which we failed, you just can't help but think that it wasn't meant to be. I mean such unluck 2 years in a row and now we had all the luck in the world just as the "old guard" was about to collapse?

The forum's main theme is PES and football. It was opened in 2006 when we were still kids and PES was the best game out there. In 6 years a lot has happened, PES has become worse, the core of the forum has aged or left and isn't into gaming that much anymore. I can't discontinue running it either, because it's part of our childhoods and memories, like an archive.

Scotland is the head of the poodle with two large ears (or tussocks) pointing backwards, the southwestern point close to Northern Ireland being its nose. England and Wales make up its body and Ireland is just a pile of shit that the dog is sniffing or looking at. All my life I've seen GB as a poodle, but noone else has On the other hand I fail to see Scandinavia as a tiger, while everybody else sees it.

Does anybody else think that Great Britain looks like a sitting poodle sniffing its excrement? Ireland being the latter then. I mean look at it closely That's stunning

Those bastards are offline. Sleeping I guess, although We Hate Scouse is most likely spending his nights changing diapers, cursing his fate and regretting his life.. and his days he spends giving out refunds to me. capriccioso on the other hand is watching reruns of Grey's Anatomy and is drunk and passed out, that's a given. is too busy being Scottish.

What is this? I'm not dead, stop being so morbid I was away from home for 2 weeks and at one point decided to tinker with my forum a bit. There are also periods when I lose interest in posting in forums, but it always comes back (like bipolars with their long mood swings). Since I haven't written anything about the season yet, I will do so shortly here. The beginning of the league season showed what crap pre-season is, never to be used to judge a team's quality, which thrives on pressure and competitiveness. 2 clean sheets, top of the league baby. And my oh my what a player we have got in Hazard.. his decisiveness results in effectiveness, he has like what... 6 assists and 3 motms so far? Crazy. I can definitely see it working out with him and Mata and getting better and better, with Oscar hopefully getting integrated in there soon. And this transfer window has been amazing. The best one since 2004. For once we got all the major problems covered. Can't wait to have a glimpse of new boys Moses and Cesar. Moses was good against us, beating Cole and Ivan easily a few times. Speaking of Ivan, he desperately needs some competition, this is where Azpilicueta comes in frame so hopefully he will get his shit together. It's a bit premature to say, but if we are able to maintain consistency, especially in december to january, then we have a fighting chance of challenging for the title.

A clean sheet, finally!

Somebody learned a new word today, good for you

Desire C, no contest really. If you can afford it, then I suggest you have a look at Galaxy Ace 2 instead.

Not entirely true. For example a former illegal file sharing giant mininova now provides only legal torrents.

What did Tevez's shirt message mean?

This game highlights our biggest weakness - the bottom 2 midfielders. The ref is a cretin.
