capriccioso

Harsh on Torres. Besides, the man in my avatar has a knack of scoring vital goals, or so I'm told

Drogba won't play. Sad, he deserves a final battering of Arsenal to end his Chelsea career. Mind, he'll be 100% for Barcelona. Even if this injury is real and not mind games, Drogba has the willpower to ignore everything his body is telling him. He would have made a brilliant cyclist, if he was about 40 kilos lighter.

Steve's grandad was the 5000th member some 3 weeks ago. So thats 166/21= roughly 8 per day. We'll hit 10k in around a year at that rate

They have a piss poor defence these days what with injury taking its toll and all. We should score 1, then we have that vital 2 goal buffer to shut them out a la Inter 2010.

This is Didier Drogba. The man who played a World Cup with a broken arm and several seasons with fucked hernias. Sheer willpower will get him through it, as always.

I think we have slightly better depth than Barcelona, our players may be light years away from them but there's not too far a drop in quality from starter to substitute. With Barcelona there seems to be a pretty large drop.

CANNOT... RESIST... USING... TROLL.... FACE....

Anyway to get this thread back on topic, I want to get out of the 1300's in terms of post count ASAP. Before Wednesday morning at the very latest.

It was at night, I don't think there's anywhere in Australia where you have weeklong runs where the maximum temperature is less than 0.

The irony You were mocking what the Scousers were saying about us, right?

We'll not come across "The Dutch" unless we want to go skiing The coldest I can remember here (in the western suburbs of Sydney) was last winter where we had a run of 0 to -3 degrees for about a week. I would imagine its much colder than that in the outback and the states of South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania; and the Snowy Mountains.

I shudder in fear at what that could mean

Forgot to mention him :P/:Goober:

It didn't really bother me. We've seen that from him before, and there are many other players around the world who do the same thing. Faking injury is not as big a problem as stuff like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgfRCa71Kmw

At least in 3 of those incidents he was in genuine pain. 2 involved the testicles and all bets are off in that area. He also fell about 8 feet and landed on his hip, thats got to hurt.

Since when has playing at home been equated with finishing chances? That's not a given. They could turn up and be rubbish again, they lack natural finishers now that Villa's out for the season.

What can't he do? Score, assist, bully, defend, and timewaste!

Lukaku can be a good player, a very good player, but he'll never be Drogba. One of the great strikers of his era, and I think he will never be surpassed as the best African striker of all time (with apologies to Samuel Eto'o).

Happy Birthday

Hahaha, I thought you lived in Coventry not Siberia Anyway to put in context, 10 degrees is bitter chill by Aussie standards. Unless you live in the mountains, outback (Spike I'm looking at you ) or far southern states.

My God, that is so contemptible, hating on a community that have been alienated from society for thousands of years, who have been killed for something that they can't control. How many millions of LGBT's have been murdered? Way more than 96, I'll bet. That they can get away with that but a dozen Chelsea fan's can't making booze-fueled chants has left me speechless.

I hurt a lot after Moscow. It was probably the closest football has made me come to cry, excluding when Australia beat Uruguay in 2005 where I cried tears of joy. And yes, I was only 14 at the time of Moscow so I was an immature idiot (one may argue I still am now, but I hope I'm better than what I was 4 years ago), but I mellowed to United as the years have gone by.

That's typical banter. It's not "Fucking Chelsea with their fucking plastic flags go back to the gutter you cockney racist faggots", as spouted by the average Scouse, is it?
