  1. As I have said many times, all FFP will do is increase the role of creative accountants in football. The owners of these clubs are largely a corrupt lot who have cheated governments out of tax money for years by using said accountants; and UEFA's auditors are likely to possess nowhere near the skill that government financial forensics do. Even if they are equal to government level auditors, the accountants should still get the better of them. If you do slip up and get caught, you can bribe FIFA/UEFA officials. They're as corrupt as can be, anyway; if Barcelona or Real Madrid or Bayern or one of other UEFA Historic 10 Clubs are caught they'll probably be let off.
  2. Except he got caught on the ball by Downing and let him have his first assist in about 3000 minutes of football
  3. Out of curiosity, what was the gif you planned to use?
  4. Is the correct term monobrow or unibrow? He could be the Unibrow Undertaker or something.
  5. For fucks sake. Hopefully he'll produce one of his typical "Must play like a competent defender against brilliant wingers" performances.
  6. Surely we're not going to let the Monobrow Menace, Jose Bosingwa, start?
  7. What if we play him on the left wing? That would make it a bit more difficult for him to shoot/cut inside all the time, as he'd be doing it using his right foot. That could force him to become more of a team player, though I don't know what's going to improve his work rate.
  8. Paulo needs some game time, we can't just throw him into the CL Final without any prior match practice. If it is Bosingwa, Kalou 100% must start on the right wing.
  9. What do the winners of each category get? A custom title like Member of the Month?
  10. Cech has turned into the best keeper in the world in recent months. He won't be dropped.
  11. What if Spurs, Arsenal and Newcastle have signed a Devil's pact to play shit until week 38 to keep us interested in the league, thus tiring out our players for Munich for no reason? Fulham can beat Spurs, Everton at Goodison will not be easy for the Toon. Arsenal will probably win, though. It would be great if we could sneak 4th place.
  12. Pique shouldn't be on anybodies top 5 defender list. Bit too cavalier for me to ever trust him should we sign him.
  13. Perhaps, like Kakuta we overrated him and thought he would be the best of his generation. Not saying either are shit, I just think blue-tinted goggles made us feel that way. If we manage them correctly they'll still be top players, mind; just closer to a Florent Malouda or Arjen Robben rather than Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi.
  14. Why do we always tour the USA and never Australia
  15. Unimaginative, but still pretty good.
  16. He would be AVB MkII, just with more respect from the players. Our squad is just not capable of playing tiki-taka, and Pep is not capable of changing his philosophy. The only clubs he can go to and do that are probably Arsenal and to a lesser extent, Roma. You need an exceptional attack, capable of outscoring nearly any opponent, to play that high line, 3-4-3 shit with one recognised centre back. We don't, and virtually nobody else does other than Barcelona.
  17. Anywhere near the centre automatically makes a US politician a commie. Obama is centre-right, at best, and the conservatives still loathe him. I don't know why most American politicians hold capitalism as some kind of divine gift, when 15% of your huge population are in poverty that's a good indicator that something isn't working.
  18. Thank fuck. Pep would be a disaster the likes of which we have never seen in football, he'd make Benitez's Inter look brilliant.
  19. 5 am in Australia. I have an exam on Wednesday so i've been studying all night. I think I'll go to sleep now.
  20. To get 7th place spending that kind of money is brilliant. Moyes would probably win the League if he had the kind of money Liverpool do. 43.5 million over a 6-7 year period, I'd imagine? Liverpool have spent 5 times that in 3 years.
  21. What is this PM campaign? You deleted your TX vote and voted Strike, didn't you?
  22. Well then, that's all done. Battersea it is. Sigh.
