capriccioso

Angry, at myself. Self-hatred is a lot of fun.

Yes, he clearly wasn't fond of the "Crouching tiger, hidden wanker" stereotype he had garnered.

I did say that Falcao 'appears' to fit the bill. And the striker doesn't necessarily have to be built like Drogba. They could for example just be great at dribbling and suddenly carve out a 1v1 by themselves by dribbling past a couple of defenders.

Just out of curiosity.

Bad Moment It's a fixture in our clubs season now

Off topic, but do you post a lot on your phone?

I am sick of the 'service' argument. We don't need a goal poacher, we need someone who can create all by himself to replace Drogba. Falcao appears to fit that bill. If Torres needs the ball to be served up on the platter a dozen times a match to put away a goal, then he would be better served going to a club like Atletico or Liverpool, where current circumstances dictate that its worthwhile to set up a team to do nothing other than bring out the best in a player.

So, the Socceroos. We're shit and we know it, shit and we know it, shit and we know it.... Mind it'll be fun singing "Have you played in the World Cup? Have you fuck!" when we're taking on the mighty Singapore at home for the next dozen years or so before we qualify for another World Cup. Of course I'm referring to the fact that after the Germany Generation go (presumably the 2014 World Cup will be their swansong), we will be embarrassingly shit until about 2030. Alternatively we can go down what I like to call the English cricket route and naturalise a whole heap of East African refugee's that we've taken in. Not sure if they'll be any good, though.

Double post.

You know, it's early days, but I think we have an outside chance of winning the league. Obviously it would have as much legitimacy as Man United's 2010/11 win which was basically everyone else being shit and United being the least shit of them all. The point I'm getting at here is that every other title contender so far has been utter cack, excluding ourselves.

Change the skin, one of them looks really good. And Chelsea are the standard bearers for everything evil in the world.

I think we have just about enough cover all over the pitch. The problem is that the cover provided is unreliable. GK: Cech Hilario Turnbull (lol) Blackman RB: Ivanovic Azpilicueta Paulo Ferreira Ramires (lol) CB: Terry Cahill David Luiz Ivanovic LB: Cole Bertrand Paulo Ferreira? DM/CM: Mikel Lampard Ramires Meireles Romeu Malouda Oscar AM: Oscar Hazard Mata LW: Mata Hazard Marin Sturridge Moses Bertrand (lol) Malouda RW: Hazard Marin Mata Sturridge Moses Ramires Malouda ST: Torres Sturridge Moses The main problem here is we go to very inconsistent and unreliable players in most of our positions once the first choice is unavailable. But if we get lucky our squad players can fill in playing out of their skins, as the likes of Bosingwa, Bertrand, Kalou et al did in the CL run last season.

I don't think it was a bad move, so long as they are playing his wages. Watching him play last season was a bit like watching a cripple trying to finish a marathon. The mind is willing, but the body isn't.

Gilgamesh is possibly the coolest name any ruler has ever taken. He was supposed to have ruled over Mesopotamia for 127 years

They're all fanatic about something. Either football, country or religion

I wouldn't be surprised if they resurrected Gilgamesh himself.

I hate to sound racist but I have yet to meet a Turk, online or in person, that wasn't insanely patriotic/jingoistic.

It seems we were invaded by the Ottoman Empire.

I'm not going to do this test. It's annoying. I hate pattern-based questions. The only 'test' I've ever sat was one set by a TV network. Ended up with a score of 118, surprisingly high- I didn't think I'd be much over 105. @, how did you get 142? Aussie IQ tests don't give out numbers above 130. If you score that well it's just given as '130+'.

What's this? @Liquidator

The cricket thread there is all kinds of awesome. No prizes for guessing who started it

@Solonapoli, This Burro Banton video almost makes sense! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEO689j3taY&feature=related

How is it pronounced? Like what it looks like or Iron Brew?

Except Irn Bru!

Whats wrong? JD is piss, btw. American whiskey is awful. Scottish whiskey, labels like Johnny Walker, Teachers and so on are where its at regarding whiskey.
