capriccioso

Sorry if I sound pushy, but I would really like to see that join our pantheon of emoticons. Those who follow my posts religiously (I know all of you secretly do ) will have noticed I use it fairly often in an effort to get it noticed but it never does

Sorry to bring up an old topic, but I have done some number crunching. At the current rate, you'll get to 30,000 in 533 days. At which point I will be on 15,600 posts. I give up The race to 40k is looking more open. At current rate, I'll get there 1543 days, you will get there in 1258 days. Not impossible for me to come across a 285 day gap. Especially if someone disconnects you from the internet for a couple of months And the race to 50k should be mine by around 100 days. I'll get you in the end

What about Sturridge and Lukaku? I think between the three of them there's just enough goals to get us through to January in a position to still be competing for trophies. If needed, we could buy Falcao then.

Good point; but da Costa means business, I think. He's said something along those lines every transfer window since January 2010.

Hulk said in that interview that it was entirely the clubs decision and he is happy at Porto because he has 4 years to run on his contract.

Word on the street is that Kenny will be moved upstairs to a DOF role.

Maybe we should just all learn French. All I know is allez Thomas Voeckler

Excuses, excuses

Vidic?

Now people (i.e. the diehard Hulk supporters) are going to think the link is a lie and this thread will go another 10 pages before someone can find a link not from crunchsport. For those people, I repeat: The President of Porto, Pinto da Costa, said in an interview with Porto TV, that he will not sell Hulk unless we pay the release clause. He's not an 85 million pound player, pretty much no one except Messi and Ronaldo are.

Quote was made to Porto TV by the President. It is as legitimate as you can get.

It would be hilarious if Rafa got them firmly entrenched in mid table, like 13th or 14th. They love him even more than Dalglish.

I really, really hope Rafa gets the job and he puts them in a worse plight than they are currently

Perhaps Scholes or Henry or Lampard would have been better choices.

Nicely put.

Portuguese teams won nothing unless they were coached by Jose Mourinho or Andre Villas-Boas. France had a losing finalist the same year Porto won the CL, and a losing finalist in the UEFA Cup as well. Feyenoord won the UEFA Cup exactly 10 years ago. France has had 5 CL quarter finalists since 2008. Portugal has had 2.

The video is certainly doctored. That much can be confirmed. Those quotes, however, can't. If they are true though... , :lol2: and don't even begin to cover it.

Oh my God, seriously, what the fuck?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4091378/Bin-tricked.html

I know you're talking about me

Really? I'm new here and I've loved it. I never knew such a friendly place could exist on the internet. You're all awesome Obviously there's the odd spat, almost always over football, but they are good natured debates and there's no name calling or personal abuse of any kind. It wouldn't be much of a forum if we all agreed with one another all the time.

Damn you for the Italian reference, Sh0n3x

Fair enough, I'm just very defensive about Kalou.

Mind games, BM. Mind games. He's thinking in his head "If we lose to this lot I'll hang myself out of the shame" Edit: Just reading that article and saw the Robben joke. It would have been funny if Eva had been present at that press conference
