As bad as that is, it doesn't stack up at all to the lengths they went to to sign Fabregas in the first place. This excellent blog post lists those lengths, the highlights being: Barcelona really are scum.

Don't make me go all Colombian on yo ass

I remember that game. Kalou made a nice assist

Scam or not, I don't imagine a Torres shirt would rate particularly highly for anybody. No matter how many times he wore it.

As a religious person it offends me mightily when I see ignorant fucks walking around with massive gold crucifixes hanging from their necks. I imagine for a follower of the Rastafari movement, seeing dreads everywhere would be much the same - extremely irritating. Mind, it was Indians that invented the hairstyle. We have a connection to them that is entirely different to the Rastafarian (and by extension, western; since the west equates marijuana smoking as a religious sacrament and dreadlocks with Rastafarians when in actuality both were originally Indian concepts) conception of them. So I suppose me wearing them wouldn't be disrespectful...

Show some respect

I bought a rasta beanie My dad saw me wearing it today He said he liked it because it was "colourful" He doesn't know what it symbolises He would be shocked if he finds out I've changed my mind. Dreadlocks are a badge of honour and a very religious important symbol. Disrespecting them by wearing them as a fashion fad shouldn't be on. It wouldn't be taken kindly if people started wearing Punjabi turbans or Jewish yarmulkes as a fashion statement, so why should it be different with dreads?

Listen to this Bun a spliff

I don't know how you can manage that. I'm a zombie if I get less than 8. And I don't feel good unless I get 9 or 10.

My best friend dropped out a few months ago. He hated his course and wanted to transfer, but because it was his first semester at a new university, he wouldn't have been able to internally transfer. So he's decided to go back to where he was last year but doing a different course next semester. It's based on what's happened to him that I don't think it's a good idea for you to drop out altogether. He has done absolutely nothing the last 10 weeks except get high daily. He had a job for about 3 weeks and quit. He's earned a few hundred here and there from writing our drug dealer's uni assignments (which I've been doing as well), but that's it. Other than that, the only time he has left his house is to get high with me and some other friends. He dropped out with the intention of re-entering at the earliest opportunity, and his life has fallen apart, he's going absolutely nowhere at the moment, just crossing off the days on the calendar as they go by. You're doing it semi-permanently, so I think it's safe to assume that if you can't find anything almost immediately that will keep you busy 30 hours a week, you'll be worse off. Especially if you go back to the outback.

I'm getting dreadlocks as soon as my hair gets long enough I had a Willian-style Afro (much smaller) a few weeks ago before I got it cut. It was starting to lock up then by itself. In hindsight, I shouldn't have gotten a haircut.

I imagine that flag rule is to stop people bringing in Palestinian flags or whatever. Stuff that's genuinely offensive. Well, no, actually it isn't offensive in the slightest, but people today etc.

Both apply to me (the first maybe not quite as much these days), but I'm committed to seeing it through because I don't know what I'd do with my life if I didn't have a degree. In the short or long term. If you want to drop out you must have something lined up that you can enter straight away. Full time employment or entering education somewhere outside of uni (i.e. learning a trade). It's better for you, even if you hate it, to be going there than staying at home all day doing nothing. Another thing you need to consider is that it'll be extremely difficult for you to drop this now and pick it up a few years later. The draconian budget will make it prohibitive for pretty much everybody to start a degree after 2016. I would suggest doing one unit per semester in combination with a job until such time as you can handle doing more.

Fabregas hasn't been very good since he moved to Barcelona. I think Arsenal's fans are justified in not clamouring to see Fabregas take the spot of somebody who has been good recently. I'd pick Ramsey on that basis. You're only as good as your last envelope.

I want to buy a pair of Clarks, but there's a hitch. How the hell can a pair of shoes be so expensive?

Brixton sounds like a cool place I'd do well for myself there

He doesn't play for Chelsea anymore, I understand. Besides which, Guarin hits it cleaner still. Think Roberto Carlos, Cronaldo or Beckham, not Gerrard or Lampard. He's above that level.

City have far bigger rivals than Chelsea, and vice versa. The two clubs haven't even directly competed for a trophy yet. When Chelsea have looked like or have won the league, City were nowhere to be seen, and the same applies for when the latter has been in the ascendancy. Sure you could cite this season but I think everybody knew a long time before the end of the season that Chelsea were out of the race.

I fucking hate Herodotus. He's not a historian, he is nothing more than a glorified storyteller, and yet here I sit, desperately attempting to find something, anything he said about Alexander the Great. He should have been discredited and struck from the historical record a long time ago, but I suppose all ancient history is essentially based on stuff that's only a little bit thicker in substance than the word 'speculation'. Having said that, it's only wankers like Herodotus, who are so quick to turn to the supernatural to explain everything, that give ancient history that reputation. Many of his contemporaries (very broadly using the term here, meaning every historian who lived between about 800 BC - 476 AD) were however genuine, top lads that went out of their way to present opposing views, to find explanations other than 'it happened because Zeus was Alexander's real father!' like Livy or Tacitus, and they get marginalised in favour of chancers of the highest degree such as Herodotus .

As I said, he is a very good striker of the ball, arguably one of the best in the world. From Chelsea's perspective, it's worth having him around as a squad player - he'll do a job here and there - and provide a very unique challenge for teams with his ability to hit the ball hard. Not many guys can offer that, in fact, being a good striker of the ball today is such a rare skill that managers probably don't even bother drilling their teams on how to deal with somebody who can score from anywhere on the pitch. Because even if a midfielder has that capacity, possession is all the vogue and a low percentage, risky move such as a long shot doesn't fit in with the Guardiola-inspired cowardly style of playing football that is the hallmark of the contemporary generation of the sport. Jeremy Clarkson once said that 'power and speed will solve everything'. He was right. The best way to defeat possession football is to be overwhelmingly dominant physically - quicker, stronger, more keen to take risks going forward. And so Guarin will definitely offer something different.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm from Australia

Here's a genuine random thought: punctuation is shit. Losing full stops and commas is the way

I'm not your friend anymore </3 Rmpr is my new TC friend

There genuinely are very few players in the world that can strike a football as well as he can. Look at these. Such clean hits. @Mufassir08 Apparently his nickname is Boom Boom as well Now admittedly that alone is not much of a reason to sign somebody, but if Villa landed him, I'd be delighted. Still, not like Chelsea can't use somebody who can actually consistently twat the ball really hard in a straight line - none of the current squad can do that.

I've never been more alive.
