Look everyone knows FIFA is corrupt... It's what they do with that level of corruption... The thing is, like all Governing Bodies, they've believed their own bullshit, thought they could do anything and have now been caught with their pants round their ankles whilst Mrs Qatar is busy pleasing them... Metaphorically speaking... A 'smart' man - would have followed the tried ad trusted (Bill Clinton) way out of this. Deny full scale backhanders, concede some 'low level' corruption could have occurred, slaughter a few sacrificial members in public, promise it will never happen again, go away and donate to charity and move on... However, Sepp Blatter is not smart... And with ridiculous comments like this, attempting to play national identity and pride off against people that know he is corrupt - will not end well for him... There's a great saying - 'give them just enough rope, and they will hang themselves' - well Sepp, you have the rope, now - please, do us all a favour and use it...

Yeah and because it was aimed at Gooners fans - notice he had to repeat it 4 times... They love the number 4 at Arsenal!!! Celebrate it every season

Woah cut the fucking attitude! He has had some great games for us, but has gone missing in others - this happens to lots of players, Thierry Henry being the main one to spring to mind... I said next season is make or break (in my opinion) and I hope he makes it - but according to you I'm some kind cunt that hopes a decent young player turns good? Fucking sick of this place lately... How hard is to be slightly positive?

Yeah the media are playing a big part in this... BUT the solution is simple - say NOTHING and it cannot be misrepresented He does talk to the media a lot - and this is where his problems are - he needs a decent advisor or PR man... This is where his youth and inexperience are counting against him, a wise man would say 'nothing' and let his stuff on the pitch do the talking

It's the World Cup and next season - make or break for him He can be amazing on his day - just lacks consistency - it's more likely a 'mental' problem - I'm sure next season he will step up

Lol I didn't mean that bloke I meant TOPTB Oh well no harm done

Rumours today Ancelotti wants him for £25 million - dunno I'd maybe sell for that TBH I think some of our Academy players could do just as well... And that's another £25 million in the kitty - could cover 90% of Luke Shaws transfer fee...

I don't think he is to be 'fair' He's just saying 'if he said this...<journo comment> then this is what I think <opinion>' I would love Lukaku to stop talking to the press, knuckle down, and have a great season here at Chelsea - I think every fan wants the same, but some probably wont admit it... Lukaku can learn a lot from the players around him, with the squad additions this summer (planned/rumoured) he's got an amazing midfield behind him... We could even go to 4-4-2 against teams that park the bus - now that would be awesome Lukaku and Costa smashing through defences!!!

Schwarzer has re-signed according to the London papers...? So looks like Courtious, Schwarzer (Czech when he's recovered)

Would hope so, but as you wisely informed me - try reading around the place

Agree with everything except renaming the Stadium - I like it being called Stamford Bridge Don't forget our tie in with Sauber etc in F1 - the Board are doing a lot - some will work, some wont - I love our Samsung deal, good company

Lol I do avoid certain threads

Evidence is subjective and easily manipulated The old bill have been convicting people on 'evidence' for years People love to moan, a scandal sells, success is boring to most Although to be fair to TC members - I only really remember pure outrage when RdM was sacked and FSW came in even though the RdM decision was correct and the FSW won a trophy, it did feel like you'd fell asleep on Clapham Common and a train of dudes had been through you with no k y ...

Possibly, but unlikely. Lets all consult the oracle of FM when it's released - lol

Yes, fair point - but seeing us in that list, with probably the smallest ground out of all of the entries, is some feat... You also have to take into account country size - the Munich catchment area in mass is huge - almost equal to half of England (guesstimate) - plus Germany doesn't have Rugby competing for money/fans etc. they have handball (sucks, but some of the women teams are hot ) Spain is also much larger than England... Man City are the anomaly - but how much influence do they carry in the UAE - a fuckload I'd estimate and the footprint of the UAE is massive! So pound for pound we're actually doing a fucking great job I have slated the board and EMANELO many times - but I'm always willing to give people a second chance and credit where it is due! I actually thank Torres for my newfound compassion in giving second, third, two hundred chances to people - every time he plays, I still think maybe this is the day... Then the whistle for kick off wakes me up

A Canadian Spa and matching gazebo Spa: http://www.canadianspacompany.co.uk/Hot-Tubs-and-Spas/Niagara.html Gazebo (except mine is grey) http://www.canadianspacompany.co.uk/Gazebos/Frazer-Gazebo-Coffee.html Looking forward to relaxing! I am getting old after all, 38 this year Plus £40 on a new battery for the Elise - started it up and forgot had taken exhaust off - wow that was loud Ooh and last week picked up a 1971 Triumph Stag, with overdrive and hardtop (needs a soft top) - also needs a little restoration but amazing car

Yeah but it's a nice pay day in a slower league - why not? If you were working 80 hours a week and someone offered you the same money for 40 hours a week and an easier job, you'd take it right? That's all this is - Villa has suffered from injuries and just fancies playing a few games and earning some final cash. Lampards body is staring to fail (a little). I don't begrudge him anything - he could even join Arsenal for all I care - he's still Super Frank and will always be a legend...

I would have him here - but I think he will end up at City - especially if Toure decides he's still not being loved enough If I was City - I would ship out Toure immediately... Surprised Kolarov is also going - dirty fukka - but quite a good player

They fucking owe us a favour for beating L'pool!!!

As much as he is dickhead - he is a great player and I would take him in an instant for €30 million I prefer him to Pogba

Ok - my take on Oscar... When Mata was here he was playing unbelievably well. When Mata left and he had ALL of the responsibility - he suffered a dip in form... Coincidence or cause/effect? Pressure is a strange thing - we hear about World Class all of the time - to me 'World Class' is doing it on the big stage when there is tons of pressure... Oscar hasn't managed that yet, but is 22 and will grow. He has also played tons of games in a short space of time, so we could be guilty of pushing him to burnout... I have complained all season that what we lack as a team is not skill - but mental strength, this is hard to coach - but I expect Mourinho to be able to make a difference here - and that's what our players need. If you want to ship him out fair enough, but Ozil suffered the same as Oscar this year - it happens... That's why squad depth is also an important factor. I will hope to see him perform on the big stage, prove hs doubters wrong and carry that form into next season... But yeah - I'm a sentimental old fool...

Lets see after the WC Have a feeling this post will come back to haunt you

Hmm - I see you are new here - that's cool, but er want to be much more of a cunt? I'm voicing my opinion - in a non sarcastic way, if you don't like it then fine - but no need to be a bellend about it... Traore is a nice player - has great attributes and could do a job along with some of our younger players. I hope Traore does get some game time. Then I can remind you of this post

Disgusted isn't the same as jaded I was disgusted that RM felt the need to pay €100million for Bale. I'm not sure he's worth that - but RM are happy - so good for them I'm happy we got €50million for Luiz My only gripe is with PSG and City who are under FFP restrictions/sanctions being able to splash that amount of cash around - its a mockery... So not jaded - just plain old disgusted

Wow this thread heated up whilst I watched some on demand 24 I still don't know what to say - but that €65million is a potential curse on a young lad Look at Neymar he's done fuck all at Barcelona - yet he was heralded as the new Messi... Saying this guy is Workd Class is confusing to me. My 'old' definition of World Class meant doing it on the big stage ? That's not the same as a rapidly declining Serie A... As we have all agreed - money DOES NOT equal success. Is there any point in risking €65 million on this guy when we have Chalobah, Traore and Loftus Cheek? I remember the hype around DeBruyne - turned out to be average, same with Moses, same with Marin - in fact a lot of 'Internet (Fifa/FM) players turn out to be shit in real life... Strange that
