Magic Lamps

pool are so fuckin useless. never gonna play a part in the title race. It is between us and City and no fuckin else.

Deeply saddened by his death. One of the greatest directors in the film business of all times and also a world class actor. I will never forget his wroks esp. Gandhi and Cry freedom but also shadowland and a bridge too far are very underrated movies - coincidentially the latter is is about young men going from Britain to Arnheim for work. Sounds familiar to me^^

There is no way, they can start all Di Maria, Mata, Rooney and RvP in a regular league match. Not even in a 3-5-2 with Shaw or so in the mix. Given Herrera is not exactly a good tackler as well, it would leave them with at best 5 players who actually CAN defend.

The problem is not buying another player but getting rid of Torres. No one will ever be so dumb to pay his wages +Torres won't be so dumb to accept a significant cut. I also wonder how on earth we could be so naive to give him a 5,5 year deal. He will be on 175k pw when he is fuckin 32. Wouldn't a 3,5 year deal have sufficed? We could have easily prolonged it with these wagesn if he had been a hit.On the other hand, we could still just buy wickham or rodirguez as a 3rd striker. But honestly, how much better would they do Torres? Torres has 10 turnovers per game, 2 or 3 decent dribbles, an incredible miss and a goal every few months. But you know Torres will not completely lose it in a CL game. Would you really trust wickham or Rodriguez vs BAyern or Real madrid in the cl?

decent game from him. On a different note. Barca has become a little bit disappointing. Players like bravo, Rafinha, haddadi and matthieu. Ok players, but Barca used to have a WC one on every position.

It is a mix of Louis van Gaal's siluoette and David Moyes face - the latter of course has no eyebrows.

maybe, but men grow until their early 20ies and Courtois is listed as 1,99 since he joined us when he was 19. It is probable that he gained two or more cms since then

Chances are that Utd are already out of the title race once di Maria is actually integrated.

Everton donate Arse point. They will probably not be so kind to us next week.

Arsenal are always so easy undone by big strong strikers with their "intelligent, modern defenders". Honestly which striker in the world will be scared by mertesacker or koscielny? i hope costa and Drogba rape them even harder. Arse: buy a collection of decent attacking midfielders - play them out of position all the time

Agree, he was unbelievable today. Did his job defensively, most burnley attacks came through the middle or the azpi's side. (him and matic had rather average games) But more importantly he was everywhere. He bombed down the flank like a 2nd winger, but recovered so fast, leicester did not even dare to attack his side. When they did, he defended it no-nonsensestyle and got the ball our of play with a simple tackle. Playing RB, RW and ST,no problem for Iva. Absolutely loved how a player this big gets on mazy runs in the opposition's box, easily passes players and completely roasts two defenders witha simple feint. Could have had a hattrick today if it wasn't for some amazing goalkeeping by schmeichel

Iva would be my motm. shown exactly whe he has that RB spot nailed on for years. He maybe can't cross but he surely can attack

that should do

our shots from 16 to 22m are shocking. Schmeichel is not exactly a top goalie

the ref is laying rocks in our way the whole game, probably will whole season but this time it won't matter

ivanovic has had an unreal game so far

finally

we could use a proper finisher from close distance here

the ref is a shame as usual

we have to get the counter attack on andnot dwell so long on the ball

Wouldn't a passport also mean he could be listed as HG player? IMO that would not be charity but benefit our club. Maybe Mikel is not a real rotation option, cos he limits our play, but in certain situations he can be a tactically important option, like protecting a lead but also calm down the play and he is still good enough to play the lower sides. Tho given his limitedness, it is important we keep MvG.

The thing about Oscar is, he will never be a creative no 10 like David Silva or Özil. The defensive responsibilities he takes here make him more of a no 8. Still he remains one of our tactically most important players. Having a defensively disciplined player in the CAM position enables Fabregas to have the play in front of him when he drops deep and cover when he advances to play the killer passes like he did monday. Also Oscar often serves as a ball carrier and picks up the ball between the centre-halves when Cesc temporarily takes on the no.10. position. This way Oscar and FAbregas complement each other just fine.

By far the best ice buckett challenge yet. Because he mentions what it is actually good for + uses an enormous amount of ice water + because it is fuckin JOse MOurinho.

lol. Imagine his team mates lifting that ice buckett over his head and he's just: "this does not fuckin slip now"

True. But the problem is most celebrities don't even mention that it is about ALS in their videos. Should do it like Charlie Sheen and donate money (maybe a bit more than 10k)
