I guess if it doesn't work in Amsterdam we can assume that line doesn't work anywhere else in the world. ps: the best reaction was from that lady preaching about God, LMAO.

I meant in the sense of how many clear chances he was going to miss. Like these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxlaBOShck4 I thought cost could be used in that sense. My bad.

Why Viper22? What trophies do you think we're going to win this season? Who's the team that is going to finish behind us as second place in the EPL? How many goals is Costa going to score this season? How many goals will Torres cost us this season? Cesc as #8 or as #10? Cech or Courtois? Messi or CR7? Zidane or Ronaldo? Maradona or Pele? Brazil or Argentina? Coke or Pepsi? Windows or Mac? Ferrari or Lamborghini? Dodge Viper or Nissan GTR? Boobs or butt? Beautiful face and ok body or beautiful body and ok face? Blondes or Brunettes? Math or Physics? White chocolate or black chocolate? Belgian chocolate or Swiss chocolate? PS4 or Xbox One? Fifa or Pro Evolution Soccer? Israel or Palestine? Coffee or tea? Marvel or DC Comics? Cats or dogs? Glass half full or half empty? Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Spike, Rmpr and Jason - gay or straight?

In all honesty I'd rather see any of our youth players capable of playing the striker role in the line-up than Torres. At least I'd be getting surprised positively or negatively and there would always exist hope that they would get better since they're young. With Torres you're never surprised - you know he's shit, you expect him to play like shit and he never fails to deliver your expectations. Ok, I'll even be fair here, he's failed to deliver his shitness once - the game I voted him for MOTM, but that was it. I rarely ever bash any player, but Torres just deserves it. He is that bad.

Oh my God, WOW! Take a bow, mate

What you said is all true. But it is kind of the same situation as City has in Fernandinho and Yaya. Fernandinho is by no means bad offensively, he's quite good actually - has good passing, speed and a good long shot - but Yaya is simply better, therefore Fernandinho's attacking instincts must be restrained because Yaya will be bombing forward here and there. If we play Matic Cesc the same should apply - Matic should tone down the risks he's taking and be more conservative with his positioning to allow Fabregas to be offensive. The holding CM will always get restricted in favour of the other. I've always said 4 3 3 would be better for us too - although not with Ramires there, but supposing we do play 4 2 3 1, Mat - Cesc isn't a certain recipe for disaster if done right. I think it could work very well - and because the pressure is lower when playing in the pivot, misplaced passes should be even fewer for Fab there - unless they deploy an AM to specifically chase Fab there, he would impact and control the game a lot better than playing as a #10. And the evidence we have to this moment is that Fabregas has performed better as #8 than as #10 in the pre-season.

I think for Lukaku, Costa was more of a problem than Drogba. If he's afraid of competition with a 36 years old Drogba and fucking Torres, God help him. He left because unless he performed significantly better than Costa, he wouldn't be getting a lot of game time. The choice has never been between Lukaku and Drogba.

Alex = Roman Abramovich confirmed.

By the way, I have been willing to ask you - why don't you bring us stats anymore? I remember when your name was still BluesMaster you used to post tons of stats and be a lot more active in footballing discussions, I have missed your participation. I'd also like to use this opportunity to add that I find your new (well, it isn't as new anymore) avatar very dislikable. There's something about his face in that particular pic that makes me wanna punch him so much and part of that feeling is transmitted to you. I don't know if anyone else sort of relates the avatar to the person writing but I do it to some degree.

Sorry, @Jason, but Justin Bieber? I have no words... even the way Bieber is pronounced is similar to how we say fag in brazilian portuguese, that's how gay he is, we hear it as Justin Fag here in Brazil.

I could still make a point to defend him if he had fucked another dude. Like Ainsley Harriot here, I mean, sucked his best friend's dick... pretty strong evidence, but has he kissed his friend on the mouth in his dreams? There are still loose ends. We cannot be sure. Listening to JB on the other hand... it's settled.

Come on, he does not. I refuse to believe it.

I mean, I imagine a lot of people have wondered about it once or twice in their lifetime but dreaming about it would be going a little too far. I think Spike can help you better on that matter since he has experience dreaming about Jason

But seriously. You dreamed about having a cock in your mouth? From your friend? Are you serious?

At the same time his passing accuracy is the highest amongst our strikers and he's fairly strong which implies his link up play and ability to maintain the team in possession is really good when he can't shoot from close-medium range. If he isn't confident in his long shooting he shouldn't be overly trying them, I'd rather have him pass the ball while we keep looking for chances to infiltrate the box.

I hate to be the one to give you the news but...

Yeah. Kind of like that. I met the girl because I decided to play tennis. I decided to play tennis because of Gustavo Kuerten. And I only met her because I happened to live in the same city as her. And because this class happened to be the closer to my house. And because my parents moved to the city some years before. And Guga only had this kind of influence on me because I happened to be born in Brazil. And that keeps going further back until the day you were conceived. Every thing that happened since you were born led to that moment. And the first things that happened were beyond your control. If the first ones were out of your control, so are the others that came subsequently, if that makes sense. And because every experience molds you to be the person you are and every single one of them happened no matter what you had to say about it, we could also say that you didn't even choose to be the person you are in the present. What you said is a consequence of this train of thought. Because all of these things are out of everyone's control, things are going to happen in a set pattern and there's nothing we can do about it.

Which reminds me of the free will examination. To what extent or degree do we really control our decision making? Do we really decide anything at all? Or do we only have the illusion of choice, when in reality every choice we make is the only decision possible considering the person we are in the moment we make them? And maybe the person we are in every given moment is not a product of our choices but the product of genetics and our previous experiences - both of them beyond our control. One could come and say - Hey! But we can choose our experiences, that part isn't beyond our control. To which I would reply - not exactly - our first experiences are totally and completely beyond our control and they will already influence and taint every other decision we make in our lives from that point. Even when we're still in our mothers' wombs we're already being influenced by her nutrition, stress levels, hormones, external sounds etc. All that will have effect on how our bodies and minds are going to work in a similar fashion to a "butterfly effect" or like a rolling snowball, that coupled with genetics, of course. At the end of the day their influence on us may be so big that in reality we would be just a byproduct of it all and we wouldn't be really deciding anything in a conscious manner. Every grain and fiber of ourselves, our every reaction and decision would have been molded by factors totally out of our control. Giving rough examples and ones which affect us in a smaller degree than what I'm talking about - I may think I chose to play tennis on my own accord, but in reality I had a massive influence from Gustavo Kuerten's (brazilian tennis player) success at the time I was a child. And then I meet a girl in my tennis classes and I decide to date her, well that decision in itself was already tainted by Guga making me play tennis prior to meeting her and many other circumstances in which I had no say. I may think my detached/aloof way of relating to my friends may have been somewhat a choice of mine but in reality the fact that I was always moving from city to city due to my parents jobs have played a huge part in it, if not in all of it. And the same logic applies to pretty much everything.

@, has Green Day stop being punk before or after American Idiot? Or do you still consider them a punk band?

That's what he said, he's talking about a greater purpose or meaning beyond ourselves (or that's how I understood). We can only give it our own meaning because it has no meaning at first, it is a blank paper. Every person must build their own meanings for their lives, their own paths.

I wouldn't say disgusted. But certainly most are displeased. In all honesty he's probably not going to face us anyway. I reckon he won't even play that many minutes. He's going to be a super sub at most, no reason to be alarmed. Of course every one of us would have liked if his last game at the EPL had been for us but it's not that big of a deal. The fact that there wasn't a bigger fuss over him leaving us should be enough to perceive that the aged Lampard isn't the same player, he's not really a threat to us. Also if it was so important that he wouldn't end up in another EPL team maybe we should have kept him in the first place. I don't even dislike Citeh as much as Spurs, Loserpool and Utd.

The choice is between either 1bn people dying (and 6bn surviving) or 6bn people dying (and 1bn surviving)? If that's the case I would gladly push the button for 6bn people live instead of only 1bn. I'm sort of an adept to utilitarianism. You didn't add any details so I'm assuming every person is worth the same, so 6bn > 1bn. If the choice was between 6bn infertile people vs. 1bn fertile people I'd go for the 1bn. It all depends. Another interesting scenario would be if was amongst the 1bn, I'm not sure I'd be able to do what's best then.

Neymar's is wrong. He scored 60 domestic league goals when 21. 54 at Santos + 6 at Barcelona. Just sayin'. Also this information is all out of context but whatever.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Seriously, I laughed so loud reading that and damn it is 3:27 A.M, everyone is sleeping. So asking once wasn't enough, you had to ask him again to be sure? Poor Jason. And basically you're saying the staff forum is a gay sauna? Can't say I'm surprised
