oh, I was looking exactly there because no matter what, Mr Gingerbeard will be there, you should have done worse to him as well, Tom! I thought there was a topic about avatars, sorry.

the best thing is that you have yours constantly in the front page because of the prediction league... there's no predictions now

where is that?

that wouldn't be bad for someone else, but Tom deserved much worse we all know already he's gay

I wonder why @Stingray's avatar is still the same. Are you letting him off of the hook, @Hutcho?

I will never get it

nooooooooooooooooooooo you're no fun! look at mine!

as a feeble attempt to make me any less pathetic than my avatar may show now, this is a dare in the Pub thread., and as a good sport I'm honoring my part. I'm embarrassed beyond words by it, but please guys, try to overlook the impossible to be overlooked

Thank God this is supposed to last only 24h and I have quite the busy afternoon and night so I won't post much in other threads although I already posted on Oscar's and International Football's plenty today. And that's how you lose any respect you may have had! @Ankit you can't change the line in your title. It's awfully fitting

you can't change it love, i've already done the change and added my comments in my title about it.

dear, @Ankit I want you to have a COVERED boner avatar whose it doesn't matter. sorry, love, I still love you, but for the sake of the game that's it.

wasn't that how you approached @Hutcho? I suppose because you never had to pick a girl's avatar before? That's what I meant here I'll have to think about it... I have no idea what to tell, do the honors please

tell me @Ankit how do you want me? Are you crazy, Tom? I'm shit afraid of him

I'm in as well

I said I was in love, but I was completely ignored. My heart is broken

Again, adapting from France to England isn't the same as adapting from Brazil to England. It passes through everything: football style, level of team mates, weather, responsibility and role in the team, etc... We can't compare Eden's adaptation to Oscar's. We can compare Oscar's to another Brazilian going to Europe in a competitive league like EPL, for example Ramires'. So I think we could compare him to Lucas Leiva for example. I don't remember Lucas' first season on Liverpool - and I'm not even sure LFC was his first club in Europe. We can compare it to Lucas' in PSG last season. That's the situation you can compare. It wouldn't be a stretch to compare other South Americans, as the football culture isn't much different from country to country here. But comparing an European change with an intercontinental change doesn't seem reasonable or fair. I'm quite happy with Oscar's first season. It was better than I expected and he showed a lot of personality and strength as mentioned above, by taking the challenge, the ups and downs all with the same attitude. There's only one player in our current squad that has potential to be more than Oscar (when he also reaches his potential) and that's exactly Eden. I think in a couple of years they will be the best players in our team and Eden will certainly be one of the top three best players in the world.

I disagree. Being a great passer doesn't mean you don't make mistakes. It's about the rate of accurate passes and I think his is good.

no, love, I'm saying the manly thing might sound wrong, be wrong and lead to a discussion that won't end well. The cheating part is a different subject... and on that I agree SA would do it more often, though I can't be sure as I may not watch enough European football. The naked example is so funny!

THIS. I do agree south american cheat more than Europeans - or so it seems because again it's cultural, but at the end of the day each individual should be held accountable for their own actions, labeling everyone or generalizing may be dangerous, although we do see much more cheating like that around here... but maybe it's because I don't watch enough European football (which is improbable as I watch more European than Brazilian footie these days)

thank you

woah I think it's all the same, guys. I just mentioned Busquets, Pedro and others in Barça team - who are Spaniards - who also dive and act the heck out of their arses... it's not exclusive from South America, nor do I think men here are manly... Let's not delve into that discussion though? It smells like things getting personal, out of hand and misunderstandings seem to be likely.

not surprising about Messi, but they do sell the perfect angelic saint image of him against Cris' devilish one. I take Cris any other day

I can't read that, love what is it about?

best post ever!!!! When Barça team sees this, they'll smile to each other happy with themselves. Neymar is showing he already has the same skills as Busquets, Dani Alves, Pedro, Messi (oh yea, the holy saint also acts) and company in Barcelona. Success guaranteed.
