    Jan Vertonghen

    he wants to play in the "mighty EPL" so y'all should probably just deal with that.

    Neymar - v2

    be fair now, he was heavily marked all game but still managed to own the half of the defence that Velez dedicated to stopping him with a megadribble then dished to Rentaria who completely fluffed the chance. but yeah he was quieter than usual. I put that down to Peruzzi, who had a stellar game...

    Copa Libertadores

    Velez shat it there. especially Canteros. that was a hideous Ramos-esque penalty. Santos' penalties, on the other hand, were superb. especially Ganso's. wrong-footed the 'keeper with just a faint lean! epic. and Arouca is such a fucking machine. he's like Makelele on speed. he eats up ground...

    Copa Libertadores

    Peruzzi did a stupendous job on Neymar. tho that dribble he went on before clipping the ball to Rentaria was just stupefying. Santos relied too much on Ganso to find a godpass. they gave him the ball and then spread out like it's a spread formation in the NFL. people needed to come to the ball...

    Gareth Bale

    it's hard to say if he's gone all hero because that's fundamentally who he is, or because that's what 'Arry has encouraged him to be. remember 'Arry has played him in LW, RW and even as a #10 lately. so he's indulging him in a farcical way because while he can be useful as a RW, it only...

    Gareth Bale

    Bale doesn't have to bomb on frequently, tho, much less every single time we have the ball! I don't want to sign Bale to be a marauding wingback. I think he has far more potential to do damage as a fullback that doesn't bomb on every time we have the ball (and, in time, a LCB that allows us to...

    Neymar - v2

    and Tevez would have gone on to be a stone-cold world-class forward (if he hasn't anyway) if his agent wasn't such a monumental cuntswallop.

    Gareth Bale

    except we don't do the "DM covering fullback" nonsense and haven't since the Treble season really. with Busi's emergence in the team we split the CB's and have him drop back into defence, effectively giving us a back 3 and allowing both fullbacks to bomb on. not that I want us to sign Bale to...

    Gareth Bale

    I'm not comparing him to Abidal. he is a different player for sure. but athletically and technically he has everything needed to replace Abidal. it's just a mental adjustment he has to make (and one I think he is capable of making given he started his career as a LB, and even guys as rampaging...

    Defender for next season?

    :lol: nah but I wouldn't tho, not if it meant destroying a young magic team on the rise like Athletic. the reason I thought it was alright to take players from Sevilla is that team had peaked and was on a downward slope. we didn't clip their nuts by signing their best players just as they were...

    Neymar - v2

    but he still delivered against Peñarol, as well as delivering against pretty much every other good defence Santos come across. could he have dealt with Quito in '08 or Estudiantes in '09? we'll never know I guess, but he beats what is in front of him. like I've said, there are only two issues...

    Defender for next season?

    me three. I don't understand these people who want us to buy the likes of Martinez, Llorente & Muniain. don't they have any heart? Athletic is a magic team on the rise, they must be left to grow!

    Defender for next season?

    we've shown this season that we can score from crosses if the crosses themselves are good enough. having Drogba (for example) in the middle won't improve the quality of the cross and thus won't really effect defenders. yes he'd win more aerial duels but we rarely cross the ball to go like that...

    Neymar - v2

    so much hating on Neymar. ridiculous. understandable though given the main person defending him is so batshit fucking insane that in order to balance him out y'all have to denigrate the shit out of the kid. the Brazilian League isn't weak, neither is the Libertadores, both competitions where...

    Barcelona 2012/2013 kits revealed

    fairly certain those kit shots are 'shopped, like the ones of Puyol & Thiago from last season, which is why the lads have such blank expressions on their faces.

    Barcelona 2012/2013 kits revealed

    real life > photoshop that said I dunno if anyone could pull off that Tequila Sunrise away kit. what's especially retarded is the shirt doesn't fade fast enough so the shorts look like they don't match. doesn't matter tho. the objective of that away kit is to blind the opponent with...

    Defender for next season?

    yes but Chiellini is a LCB, so could play LB in a back 3. not that I want us to get him. he'd flop hard playing for us owing to his style and the fact that he's Italian (when has an Italian ever performed for us?) and as you say woobie, he's not as solid as he used to be and Juve would never...
