capriccioso

It is possible, if we keep those 4 towers and their supporting structures and knock down everything else. (with apologies to Terminator X)

Essien shouldn't even be in the 70s. For his position, if I am correct, his overall is calculated as an average of his: Stamina (65) Short Passing (84) Long Passing (65) Tackling (65) Acceleration (68) Strength (73) Which averages out to 70.

U mad bro?

You've vastly overrated the likes of Malouda and Essien though. I didn't finish, here's the final four ratings Hilario 73 Turnbull 47 Blackman 60 Courtouis 81

Those ratings are biased. These are more realistic: Cech 88 Ivanovic 81 Terry 85 Luiz 83 Cahill 82 Cole 86 Essien 69 Mikel 80 Ramires 88 Lampard 81 Meireles 78 Malouda 70 Kalou 79 Torres 80 Drogba 84 Mata 86 Sturridge 75 Bertrand 77 Romeu 70 McEachran 70 Piazon 69 Kakuta 71 Feruz 67

I didn't know he could play well as a full back.

Kalou Tight run between him and Mata as to who looks more comical in an F1 car.

I agree with Essien, but why Mikel? Who can we replace him with without spending 30 million and above?

Essien isn't fit to be the engine of a toy car, let alone a Bentley.

Why not? The cycnics will say he's just a signing like Dong Fangzhou and Park in that he's only been signed to raise awareness in Asia.

Just because they're black doesn't mean they're automatically 7 feet tall and as intelligent as Kalou. Thierry Henry is an example of that. And I don't think the Africanisation of the French national team is a bad thing, some of France's greatest ever came from Africa, like Zidane, Thuram, Desailly, Makelele, Vieira, Henry, etc. The only non-African white French footballers I can think of that had a similar impact would be Platini and Fontaine, perhaps even guys like Barthez and Petit.

Windy old day here. There's been a steady 30 km/h or 20 knots/h wind all morning. It is fairly sunny, though I would imagine the wind makes it rather cold.

I wonder how Terry will be feeling. This may be the last final we make for a few seasons.

Yes, there is a winger crisis. Salomon might be leaving and that would be disastrous

He must be like 40 now, surprised to see him still doing the rounds. Anyway, for me, he'll always be best known for this:

If we sell Cole, who's going to play at left back when Bertrand is injured/suspended/needs a rest? Not van Aanholt?

We've missed the boat with him. Unless we are on a massive wind up with Man United and sign him literally moments before he completes his medical at Old Trafford. What scenes that would create

Bah. Humbug.

I am disappoint. When you leave Woop Woop and move to Brisbane, try to get your hands on a digital TV. There's a sports channel called One HD which shows 1 live and one delayed Bundesliga game a week. They also show the same amount of Serie A games if you're interested.

Keeping him is still vital, there's a dearth of world class/potential world class left backs in the world right now and we hold 2 in Cole and Bertrand. It's a problem position for most teams.

It was calculus that ended any respectability. Rubbish as I was, up until 11th grade I would usually scrape passes but that wasn't possible in the 12th grade

Sorry if this was posted earlier:

I blame TX for raising my hopes with those models he made.

I never said anything about hating you. Take it easy, rob

Unfair to call them Bayscum. They've never done anything to us and barring their imperialist technical directors/chairmen/board members like that cunt Rummenigge spouting that anti-football shit, we shouldn't hold anything against them.
