  1. I'm doing one at the moment mate. If you want to get away from here, then it's the perfect thing to do. You can pretty much go anyway and get paid to teach English.
  2. Same with me. I thought I was liking posts quite a lot but I've never once run out of them. I didn't even know you could run out of them until Muzchap told me he couldn't like my comment, which was only yesterday. I've heard you have 20 likes per day? Not sure though.
  3. Well, sort of. I'm not doing anything here at the moment. I'm going to be teaching English over there. But it's more of a year away than a year off. Okay mate, take care!
  4. Well, to be honest the media and tv etc. are so sensationalistic with most things. There are parts of Ireland where I would feel afraid of answering my phone because of that, but fortunately I don't live in any of those parts. Ireland isn't as bad as I might have made it out to be. I just wanted a change in lifestyle because my life here has become very static. So I decided to move to Cádiz.
  5. I don't know much about the economy there but I'm sure there many positives to living in Brazil.
  6. It told me when a box of Marlboro Reds became €9.50. Madness.
  7. You live in Brazil. Yeah, I have nothing tying me down here so I decided to take this opportunity to move. I'm going to spend a year in Cádiz and then move somewhere else, unless I really want to stay in Cádiz. I'll have to wait and see.
  8. I've grown tired of Ireland and Cádiz seemed like the perfect place for me to go. That's pretty much it.
  9. I'm sure I will. The only negative now is that I have to wait another 5 months. Damn. Oh well, it gives me time to improve my Spanish.
  10. I've spent the last 20 years in miserable Ireland. I've had enough!
  11. Maybe so. But a lot of people have this myth about David Villa that he is finished or past it. He's not. He's Barca's second top scorer this season in all competitions and that's without being a guaranteed starter.
  12. That's irrelevant. Both of those goals (especially the first) need a very high amount of ability to pull off. Whether you're playing a Liga Adelante team or a Primera Liga team, it doesn't matter. A player doesn't simply just lose those abilities. His positioning, skill, technique and instincts make up for his apparent lack of pace.
  13. For those who said David Villa is 'too old' or 'lacks pace' or has 'lost it,' I hope you're watching the Barcelona vs Cordoba game right now. After 25 minutes, David Villa has already scored two insanely good goals. Goals that Torres couldn't even dream of scoring.
  14. I'm not suggesting JT is bad on the ball, just that he's on old-fashioned centre-back who will happy stand around the box all day long and throw his body/face/legs in front of every shot coming in and heading away anything that gets near the box. Why I think he won't have a place in the squad after another year or two is because of his injury problems at the moment and his lack of pace. With possession football comes a high line and every defender needs to be quick. I could be wrong about Terry fitting into this system though because his positioning and anticipation is so good that it almost makes up for his lack of pace.
  15. Don't be a hypocrite. What happened to 'not forcing your opinions on others?'
  16. The funny thing is... AVB was told to play attractive football last season but with last season's squad, a squad that wasn't capable of doing so. This season, we have the players to do so but lack the manager. And I agree, AVB would be great.
  17. According to Guillem Balagué, Chelsea wanted Negredo. But didn't want him enough to meet the asking price.
  18. To be fair, he gave AVB a lot more time than many expected. And he probably would have given him more time had a couple of players not been acting the way they did.
  19. I agree. We as fans may love good old-fashioned centre-backs like JT and Ivanovic, but the truth is that Chelsea have moved on. We're becoming more and more possession based which is exposing the weaknesses of playes like Ramires, Ivanovic and even Cole at times. Soon enough there simply will be no place in our team for Ramires and Ivanovic. We may not like that, but it's what I think will most likely happen.
  20. Replacing Torres with Ba in the starting line-up would be a great fucking start though.
  21. Do you need a PayPal account to donate or can you just use Laser?
  22. You just have to be a bit stricter, that's all. You're too kind!
  23. @Muzchap: I thought your likes were gone?
