favela-tier stream. this is so ghetto but strangely satisfying

From this day forth my heart beats for Aina.

Does anyone in football have more of a baby face?

Who compares a player to coffee, outrageous

but i am also happy because Di Matteo is the greatest, the warrior, the magician, the one who served us the diamonds we asked for, the god of our times, the man who looks like a comical fly

I am so sad that probably only Di Matteo out of all our managers really love this club above all others

yes fuck yes he is the greatest

It just dawned on me. Serie A watchers call this guy the new Vidic apparently, no? Well, every game Vidic had in Serie A was pretty horrible. I'm not even sure if he played a full 90 minutes. Why on earth then, would they be comparing him to Vidic? It'd be beyond random for them to be comparing him to prime, Premier League Vidic - they'd sooner compare Maksimovic to a fellow Serie A player surely, if trying to say he's good. So maybe this guy is terrible.

Vice after Buffon, but right; for the price of only 3 Djilobodji's? Bite their hand off in that fantasy scenario.

Wait, what? What? At 32, you still don't get Chiellini that cheap. That's mad. Messi could be 40 and he'd still command high transfer fees. Giorgio isn't too different. You can't find 5 centre backs better than him, so why on earth would he cost less than inexperienced Bailly who cost £30m+? Sometimes age isn't everything.

If you believe in heaven it's acts like this which get you there.

They're going to do well this season but you really can feel suddenly the lack of soul in the stadium. The crowd aren't as connected with Jose as Twitter users are

I agree about Willian being a more central midfielder.

I don't know why individually we want this guy, it'll be for different reasons for each of us i'm sure, but the pros I see are pace, strength, physical presence, ball distribution, positioning, anticipation. Bare with me here. Azpilicueta offers all that bar the physical presence (yet he's taller than Cannavaro & the same as Puyol.) I really think we already have the ingredients all here, but the wrong recipe. Azpi / Christensen/Zouma could work wonders theoretically, I really believe so. I've so much faith in Azpi and I know when he loses his pace he'll slip into centre back for whoever we eventually offload him to. Let's start the party early and get him in there. Splash this cash on new staff members.

His son probably secretly runs our club. I imagine he abuses Roman behind the scenes with verbal abuse and stinging slaps. It makes complete sense.

I personally do doubt it. Which board member above Conte do you have faith in & trust to do their job to the best of their abilities?

The guys upstairs pick the players who must not be removed from the XI. They will not allow Ivanovic to be removed. Azpi will never be outplayed by anyone we sign. So there is really no logical reason to play with the idea of some new elite full back coming in, I think.

Yeah I'd run out of tissues if this happened

Our players are definitely avoiding passing to Kante when they can. Instructed by Conte I presume?

It already feels like we didn't sign a new striker, it's like we unspokingly all know already we'll see as much of him as we saw of Remy.

Well if Arsene wants him i must've been wrong about him.

My gut tells me there's been a conspiracy for a few years, some of the biggest football journalists got together and agreed they'd subtly start to change the economics of football via. well-timed articles and buzzwords. I mean it IS the journalists and vine users after all who made Pogba look like he's worth a freakish fee; it was regular fans who shed light on Neymar; it's journalists who highlight the new 'next big things' in football, which clubs always pay attention to. It's regular people like these journalists who decide who is/isn't a good player, and our owners/scouts/etc. all read the papers and eat up the shit put forth. They are responsible. Journalists are the voice of football even moreso than the fans I believe, and none of them rub me the right way. All of them have a smirk on their face like they couldn't care less about the future of football, because they have something to write about at least if things get out of hand.

Eh. Chelsea, United and probably Madrid or some big Milan team at the time were chasing Mikel.
