Klopp:
"If I was Matthias Sammer, I'd thank god every morning before driving to the Bayern training centre that someone came up with the idea to sign me. I think FC Bayern wouldn't have one single point less without Sammer."

Klopp sometimes talks pure stupidity

Was a comment on Sammer telling that Bundesliga clubs should stop whining about Bayern being so much better and start working with 100% commitment.

Might be true for some shit clubs like Schlacke but what a cunt thing to say. Klopp's remark was short and fitting.

Sry but no. Remember how great we were with Nerlinger in his position? Yes, we were beaten badly by Dortmund. With Sammer, things changed tremendously. Klopp is great but he sometimes tends to idocy with statements like this or his beyond stupid comparison of Bayern and the Chinese. Dortmund might have more points if they started looking at themselves instead of their daily bullshitting in Bayerns regards.

Tuttospork are saying PSG are offering 78M€ for Pogba. Bidding war with Real, pls. Hopefully his price tag goes further up after the Mundial!
 
Fuck this, Steamworks is taking ages to get in Dark Souls, I wanted to start it once the achievements were activated, but I decided to start it in an hour or two.

I just can't hold it anymore.

Henderson girlfriend gave birth to a child last year. I suppose he's an 'easy' target for tabloid speculation as he's kept it very private who his girlfriend is. And rightly so it's none of our business.
You are right, whatever he does in his home life should be private. The rumour is probably bullshit anyways.

Yes, that's more important than the coming-out of the first Premier League player.
It shouldn't be a big deal no, but unfortunately for the sport it is, homosexuality in sport still seems like a bit of a taboo in general, for football especially. If it takes an England player to come out to make people realise maybe these people aren't all that bad then so be it.

But I honestly don't see how going to the Sun is 'glossing over' what they did, if this player felt most comfortable talking to a Sun journo to get this story out to try and get the game moving forward than again, so be it. Moving past ridiculous prejudice should transcend the Sun hate, not that it should be in any way diluted or forgotten.
Of course I am, everyone is. Going to the Sun won't change that, be happy he went to someone at all.
Homosexuality in football has always been somewhat of a taboo, with many professionals coming out after they have retired or even in extreme cases ,being forced to leave the game due to their sexual orientation . Whilst I agree, if the rumour is true, the player coming out should be commended and the newspaper in normal circumstances but a Liverpool player coming out in a rag like the Sun isn’t a normal circumstance.

Completely unfounded rumours about a footballer coming out in the Sun on Sunday - only believe stories when you see them in the paper.

I have about two bosses left, trying to beat it before Steamworks is patched. I'll probably play it again sometime later to get all achievements, should be fun. It's one of those games which you can play through quite many times without ever getting tired of it.

But enjoy, playing any Souls game for the first time is always great experience.

Nerlinger was an incompetent idiot and certainly didn't help Bayern. Sammer is obviously an improvement over that, remember the new signing on Facebook thing masterminded by Nerlinger? loool

But still, what has improved Bayern is beyond Sammer's or Nerlinger's control. Simply said, signing a shitload of players.

Edit: And I'm not sure about Sammer's contribution and I think that what Klopp is saying isn't right. But giving Sammer a verbal punch in the face is awesome and well deserved.
 
DS1? I started playing it yesterday. Let's die together!
Oh yes! :D

I actually started it already one year ago, then it went straight to the backlog and between that and FM I lost interest (the same thing happened with Demon's Souls). Having DS2 this close and seeing all that hype (and the Steamworks support incoming) made me want to go back to it and see what all the fuss is about.

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much
Tottenham Hotspur ‏@SpursOfficial 43m

Positive news on team news - Tim reported that @kylewalker2 and @YounsKabs4 are 'both in contention' to play tomorrow. @ChrisEriksen8 remains 'doubtful' and that Danny Rose is out alongside longer-term Etienne Capoue, @Coco_Lamela and Vlad Chiriches.

So we have to choose between Vertonghen or Naughton at LB.

Haha, Lehrlinger... god, I'm so glad we got rid of him. But to be precise, Sammer has a wider area to cover as Nerlinger ever had. Sammer is part of the squad, the players are listening to him and react when he critisizes them and he is Peps link to players like Schweini and Lahm and a cache for Pep and the board. His influence is bigger than any other of the 4 leading heads at Bayern.

Examples plx.

Neuer and Boateng were signed by Nerlinger.

Shaqiri,Dante and Mandzukic were signed before Sammer started and the only one that might be influenced by Sammer was Martinez, and even we don't know if it was his idea or Jupps.
Thiago and Götze were clearly favorites of Pep.

Of course he is better than Nerlinger, but he's only a small part of the chain and we don't know how involved he is.

Slowly improving my FUT team.

http://www.easports.com/fifa/football-club/ultimate-team/show-off?showoffId=gqoL5TlvnKWCv:ps3

Bought Dembele as a CAM, then used the CAM - CF then CF - ST. Pretty curious to see how it works out as I haven't played with him at all yet. Kind of funny that Sterling has been my most expensive player - by far - at 3,500 coins since he is the lowest rated person on my team. There is a real dearth of LMs in FUT that aren't 8-9k or more. :(

Roberto Martinez re:TC23
"I don't understand it, I just don't," said Martinez. "Tom is part of a new generation of outstanding English talent. There are only a few English players who have had the sort of education where they look as if they could have been brought up in Holland, France or Spain. Tom is part of that.

"My disappointment is that he is being judged so aggressively. He is still growing. In other countries you wouldn't get this. You would judge someone at 28 or 29 – that is when you would expect such strong opinions. But for a young man to have such pressure, it's incredible."

Only one rating matters in FIFA/UT: speed. I've seen some shit players selling for big money just because of speed.

I guess my point stems more from the fact I just don't have that hatred of the Sun. I understand it but to me, they're all fucking rags.

Those players weren't signed by Nerlinger, nor by Sammer. I'd bet my ass it's still Hoeneß making the decisions on big transfers. Martinez was Heynckes' wish and Hoeneß believed his old pal. Rode and Kirchhoff are the only signings that were probably 100% Sammer signings. And well...

But Sammer at least talks a lot with the players, Nerlinger was completely useless. How much influence that is in detail, nobody knows.

When your whole team gets bought out, it's no suprise to see even Kloppo go bitter.

Also, just finished South Park: The Stick of Truth, GOTY.

I tried it for a couple of hours last night. So far so good.

Is my character supposed to be good at everything though?

In theory that means a little less this year but I know it doesn't. I actually have found Vlad Chiriches to be a really nice defender in FIFA due to his speed. He's my Ogbonna this year. I added Loic Remy to my team because everyone else uses him due to his speed.. gotta fight cheesers with cheese I guess. :(

What do you play on?

PS4. I didn't touch FUT for months but started playing again with some regularity recently. Think I am in D6? I mostly play clubs with The Gentle Lovers.

Juventus president Andrea Agnelli was yesterday seen with PSG president Nasser Al Khelaifi in a downtown Hotel in Paris

Agnelli & Al-Khelaifi met after the UNESCO dinner, the meeting lasted an hour, in a very friendly atmosphere

So we met with Madrid a few days ago and now PSG. If I had to guess...he told them both to fuck off.

If you are talking about difficulty, game is piss easy on all difficulties.

Just enjoy the ride, it's a stress-free experience
you'll have Dark Souls 2 soon enough for that :D

then he had to stab me in the heart by saying we have Khedira

Madrid are pretty well balanced in that department. A striker to light the fire under Benzema is what's needed. Though admittedly he's doing rather well of current.

Still blows my mind that you turned down 35m for him. Was there just not enough time to get a replacement in?

fake edit: It was in pounds?! Jesus, Madrid have no clue about value these days :p

and they still knew Neymar would turn into an embarassing financial farce

Just finished Killzone: Shadow Fall. Looks amazing, but outside of that, it's a collossal heap of shit. Story, characters, basic mechanics, all shite.

I'll play the multiplayer for a bit, but if that doesn't hook me, it'll probably be gone over the weekend.

Next up, Black Flag.

Yeah, the hate is pretty strong for the Sun here. Newsagents and shops still refuse to sell it. I used to work in a WHSmith where a few of the staff refused to stock it.

You see "Don't buy the Sun" stickers everywhere in the city centre too.

Yurt, don't try to make sense of Killer Joe. The finale is so off the rails it's ludicrously amazing. It makes no fucking sense and yet I really wanna eat chicken every time I think about it.

Coco_Lamela?

Is that his wife's account or his porn star name?
