capriccioso

Big does him an injustice. He's probably the tallest professional footballer ever; he would put about 7 cm into the tallest in England.

I like Lacina Traore. He's a big unit. Might turn out to be rubbish but you can't argue with 208 cm of Ivorian muscle. Whoever we get he can't be a helpless baby like Torres who needs everything set up just so for him. Someone with a pair, in short; and someone who can flourish no matter how rubbish the 10 behind him are.

Tragic (in terms of the decline of the sport) that he's still the best left back around. Magic from a Chelsea perspective

David Luiz is far too complex a defender. What happened to the 6 ft 3, shit kicking, hoofball archetype? Bring him back!

We're caught in no man's land. We don't have the attacking firepower to beat teams 4-3, or break down buses. We don't have the defensive stability or 11 players that can bus it, either. Drogba was vital to the bus, and now he's gone. To a lesser extent big game men like Bosingwa were as well but they're hardly irreplaceable. In a defensive context replacing Kalou or Drogba or Ramires with Hazard/Marin/Torres is suicidal. Can we coax Makelele out of retirement?

The only proper way to run a country is a one-party state. No dicking about for minority votes/caring about popularity at all. So long as you keep the army onside, you can act in the best interests of the country every time though it may outrage certain sections of society to have their issues ignored.

Better a draw than a 1-0 loss from a counter-goal.

Next time someone parks the bus we should just hold out for a 0-0. Try scoring from a fluke long shot or something.

Banter

You're not allaying my fears.

Are you alright, Spike?

Fuck attractive football. Loan out all these technical players and replace them with 190 cm tall muscle men. Playing ugly wins things. We should play a 9-0-1 all season.

That's simple, take only enough for travel, drinks and entry. Leave your bank card at home. There's no way you can overspend.

Di Matteo and Wenger still miles away from the rest

Its 12:30. Also I woke up like half an hour ago, I got fucking drunk last night at the strip club. Hangover

Its my crew, biatch.

Have you ever been? Its not that 'stimulating', just a lot of fun.

What the fuck is wrong with America's tax system? 30% flat rate for everyone earning more than $200 a week, up to 40% for anyone earning up to $9999 a week. 50% for anyone earning more than 10000 a week. There's trillions in taxes that can be claimed. Follow the Australian model (which is excessive, tbh.) and tax 200% on cigarettez and alcohol. At least until the US government can meet its liabilities.

TOO MANY TROLLFACES

Lol, unlikely.

Strip clubs are amazing.

He has an awesome name. And we're short of West Africans, every club needs at least 4

There's no better feeling than that which you get after stepping out of a long, warm shower on a cold winters day.

I couldn't think of anyone richer, lol. Also my comparisons for Sri Lanka, South Africa, West Indies and Pakistan are perfect!

I would say Bradman's Invincibles were as good, and they were more than just Galacticos. They were called Invincibles because they didn't lose a single test in 1948, not even warm up matches against county teams: Morris (3533 career runs) Barnes (1072 career runs, averaged 63) Bradman (6996 runs, averaged 99.94) Harvey (6149 runs) Toshack (47 wickets, averaged 21) Hassett (3078 runs) Loxton (6249 runs, 232 wickets, rarely got a chance for the national team) Lindwall (1502 runs, 228 wickets) Miller (2958 runs, 170 wickets) Johnston (160 wickets) I also support the Arsenal of cricket
