Arsenil 4-1 up with two sad Soton own goals and an ace freekick from Podolski. Berbatov reminding us about his typical graceful penalty area skills 2-0 up for Fulham

Anton snubs both Terry and Cole. He loses over the matter in a court of law, resorts to social media to complain in the public forum, and loses his dignity snubbing the handshake of a fellow man. He is a damn fool. Plus, have away fans not realized the more you boo JT the better he gets. Pshh QPR are fucking amateur. Let's stick a fork in the fucking tools

What's so bad about a defensive-minded lineup in a hotly contested derby match? We haven't won away in the capital in 7 games. The knee-jerk reactions are annoying have some faith in Robbie eh? Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see RDM pick sexy attacking teams, but I'd hate to see it backfire and get caught with our defensive pants down.

Why don't our PL kits have gold PL numbers? Swansea's home kit...

Welp...the coffee is top notch! it is an incredible place, nonetheless

Great choice man. The beer is cheap, and the ladies are nice

Did some surgery on my unibody macbook...proud of myself, these things are delicate when you open em up

Oscar lives here with D Luiz.

Assist was typical Branna RB play...making use of some space and cutting a pass into the penalty area. The goal was a screamer, smashed a low shot from about 20 yds out
-
Welbeck still cant fucking score, but at least its a lampard pen. That play was made by ryan betrands acrobatic save though
-
I expect Ryan to get the nod for this one since Ashley is nursing his ankle injury and RDM will need him 100% for the Juve game.
-
He won't be match fit for the QPR game because he's on an individual fitness plan, he's yet to full first team training. I'd expect to see him making a sub appearance or start against Stoke or Wolves in the league cup

College System or Youth academy's

To address your statement: again, I agree...but I wasn't arguing over that, I was mostly just qualifying what Cap had to say. -

I agree, I just figured those were all implied haha -

Essentially, kinda...yeah. The 'ghetto resident' thing is mostly just a stereotype, honestly. But certainly athletics are given presidence over academics. This argument is pretty pointless...the 'european' youth football system is far superior on all levels -

No the best players used to be allowed to go from finishing high school straight into the NBA (Lebron, Kobe, etc) but a couple of years ago they made a regulation of at least one year of college before entering the draft. The logic behind it is sound but it doesn't really solve any problems because colleges will recruit the best players regardless of academic aptitude. -

Yeah he was the US media's poster boy for about a week when he had a reasonable run of form. Mainly because he graduated college when most of the NBA didn't even graduate high school -

Jeremy Lin graduate Harvard with a 3.1 GPA http://www.ocregiste...a-american.html EDIT: But to add to the debate, 'soccer' is extremely under-funded at a vast majority of schools that have large endowments. College football (american) and basketball draw huge TV deals and ticket/merchandise sales. We're talking like large as, if not larger than professional teams. Plus, a huge amount of legislation was passed in the 60s to balance out collegiate athletics in the states (mainly men/women balance). At the end of the day, the college is going to spend its entire share of 'mens' funds on development of a football or basketball team (the economically productive option) and leave most of the other men's sports grossly under-funded -- note that the funding is balanced by gender and not by sport. So basically, most professional football league clubs in england and top flight teams through europe will have funding and resources that a mere handful of US colleges do. -
A Marseille fan in the transfer thread mentioned he was a javelin player in his younger years and that a long throw was a weapon of his. Never know when it could come in handy

My ex-gf did a work/study program in Switzerland for a year before she left for school. Taking time to experience foreign cultures -- no matter the context whether work of volunteer -- is invaluable to someone who has the opportunity to do so. She learned French, travelled around Europe and gained knowledge inaccessible anywhere else. Even if its just 10 weeks, I would highly recommend taking the leap and doing it. Costa Rica is beautiful, btw

Anyone know why McEachran didn't feature in the squad for the game against Azerbaijan today?
-
The bits about Mikel playing horizontally and Lampard folding when pressed are spot on, but I'm more than sure that Robbie would've noticed those problems too. Onwards and upwards boys... no reason to dwell on a game where the lack of fight and care in our players played as big a role as the tactics of the opposition.

Yeah one's his sister one's his wife I suppose. There's another one on his instagram where they are out at dinner with David Luiz. He must be a ridiculous housemate

Did you know that he's married already? Edit: apparently the girl in the dress is his sister and the one with her arms around him is his wife Ludy Emboaba
