  1. @capriccioso, But my score is 126 Every single point counts especially since LumH is only 2 behind. Fix it!!! I'll try going for 130 soon, must meditate first
  2. Wow, it suddenly started working here Thanks @Jim (I assume it was your deed)
  3. whatever, as long as it's a link to the whole article
  4. source source source! http://www.goal.com/...o-amid-interest
  5. Hopefully Torres gets some time with Hazard and Marin behind him, would be interesting to see how it works out with a more mobile striker.
  6. People, don't you know that Sloth is an eternal pessimist? You should by now, he can't help it, don't be mad with him.. He has his worries, so what? It's better than being indifferent.
  7. For all we know Hazard could have been reluctant to take it so soon after Drogba's departure. I can understand him, he was introduced in England as an egomaniac. Not taking a vacant legend's number was a possible demonstration that he's not as arrogant as people think he is. Well, could be? If he indeed was offered number 11, the more I commend him for not taking it, opting instead for the tormented number 17, trying to revive its shattered reputation from scratch. Challenge accepted indeed
  8. True, I did it in my native language. It was my second try, my first try in Estonian was shameful, a bit over 100 WPM. I did it to test out how it would fare against English... tbh, there was no real difference. The words were generally longer, which is reflected in the amount of keystrokes and words (more keystrokes in Estonian, but significantly less words). I don't know how I got 126 WPM tbh, since in the English one I typed more words, but less keystrokes, which is probably why. I still feel I can do better though. In total I've done about 5-7 tests, so there is naturally room for improvement. I make some annoying mistakes, get lapses in concentration and thus slow down a bit. I find the best way to do it is if you read the words out loud while typing. And yes I think it would be fairer if it was allowed to be done in native language, otherwise the English speaking folks will have an advantage
  9. Yep. Especially the fact that he's been given a first team number shows that he won't be a measly squad player.
  10. I'm so good that I'm at position 0, it's a step up from being a mere first.
  11. How is Cahill an exception? He's English, our team is English, we have many English players. Now Marin is a better example, hopefully he paves way for a German influx
  12. Terry denies FA charge http://www.chelseafc...2863078,00.html E: whatever, I see that the discussion is in JT thread
  13. The title: Chelsea will have to sell off or loan players as club expects to sign two more, says Roberto Di Matteo The first 12 words of the article: Di Matteo did not confirm that Chelsea were hoping to make further additions
  14. Opera does have it, and it's the main reason why I like it - 2 in 1. Also I like to support the smaller companies or who are (at least partly) open source, Google can fuck off with its world domination (big brother, if you're watching, i didn't really mean it) It's best that they don't become extinct due to big corporations, we have to support them. Ideally I would use Firefox, who are fully open source and the main trigger for Browser Wars II to contest the awful IE's monopoly back in 2004, but Opera just edges it for me. Without those little rebels we'd be still likely sitting with an Internet Explorer 6, stuck in early 2000's.
  15. Does it have a built in e-mail application?
  16. We probably have our eyes on Markovic
  17. The cases of Hazards and Musondas are clear, the less prominent ones were brought to accomodate the real targets. The Belgian, Spanish and Brazilian are probably both, to create harmony and sense of belonging while still profiting from their talents. With those 3 nations it's easy, because they have many good players and it makes sense to acquire a handful of same nation players, instead of an "outsider" with same kind of talent and resale value. This, I suspect, is one of the reasons why we are watching Azpilicueta more closely, instead of Van Der Wiel, Debuchy or Piszcek, who would be outsiders. We were also close to signing Maicon, a Brazilian.
  18. Luiz is our Brazilian ambassador and Torres is our Spanish ambassador. While he's at it, he might as well convince Damiao and Hulk and Torres could brainwash Cesar together with Mata.
  19. I'm not changing my custom title, because I'm the manager And I'm too lazy to alter my sig, Drogba belongs there.
  20. I've noticed that too, although it's still early stages. I believe our double pivot of Mikel and Lampard while mostly effective defensively, is slow offensively. They dwell on the ball for too long, probably old habits. I've noticed Lampard trying to change his style since AVB, release the ball quicker and more direct, but his head is faster than his feet.. his release is still slow and sometimes inaccurate. I don't think Mikel and Lamps are quick one-two passing material. Young Frank probably would have managed it, but time has caught up. His best times were in a 4-3-3 with Drogba upfront and no real emphasis on quick passing. Same goes for our defenders actually, they dwell and overpass in their backline. Perhaps it's to provoke the opposition higher up, I don't know, but it kills the pace and intent.
