Fuck City. If they wanna be a big English club they should invest in English players and English youth.

Portuguese press is reporting that Marco Silva, Estoril's manager, will be announced on Monday as the new Porto manager. Not sure how much of that is true, I can see him accepting the job for next season but it's a bit silly for him to go there now. The team is in shambles, they have a terrible schedule in the next weeks and they are extremely close to finishing the league behind Benfica and Sporting, something that never happened since Pinto De Costa became their president.

Yurt, I enjoyed Broken Age very much, although it certainly isn't Wilbur's dad best work in the point & click genre. Love the art and the characters, but the puzzles are just too easy. I get where they were coming from. Act I is a great introduction to graphic adventures for people who never played one and have no idea what to expect, otherwise it's pretty much a cakewalk. Hopefully Act II will be a tad more complex!

Innit. The game was WAY too funny though, I have never played anything like this before. It's like, their main objective was to fucking kill me :lol I didn't even care about the puzzles, I just wanted to hangout with my homie (the tree). :lol

And the ending was very cool!

THREE years ago today, Saints were in third division action at Colchester United.

In front of a few thousand fans at the Weston Homes Community Stadium, Rickie Lambert, Adam Lallana and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain helped Nigel Adkins’ men triumph 2-0.

Back then, none of the trio could have ever dreamed that they would be contenders for a place in the England manager’s next World Cup finals squad.



So based.

Aaron KD Bourn: Would love to see Carroll and Nolan take their West Ham partnership to the World Cup. Fragile defences beware!

UEFA fiddle while Bayern kill German football

Bayern Munich are 20 points clear at the top of the Bundesliga table after just 23 games.
They average 2.8 points per match, compared to the 1.9 from nearest rival Borussia Dortmund.

Next season Munich will take Dortmund’s best striker, Robert Lewandowski, on a free transfer, having already deprived them of Mario Gotze. They are also interested in Dortmund midfielder Ilkay Gundogan.
Carry on this way and very soon German domestic football, and a league that had been won by four different clubs in the last seven seasons, will be dead.

The Bundesliga, hailed by UEFA chief Michel Platini as a beacon of fairness, is becoming a one-sided farce.

If Michel Platini succeeds in killing one of the greatest leagues in Europe, if the crowds begin to dwindle as Munich’s unmatchable strength grows, if talent begins to drain from the land as German players realise unless they play in Bavaria they will never win, maybe the arguments against UEFA’s competition wreckers will become so obvious, so irresistible, that FFP will die.

We wish. Munich’s power is particularly dangerous as the club is intent on a German identity.
Barcelona and Real Madrid have always been international in outlook. Their biggest stars are foreign: Lionel Messi, Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale.

Munich love Franck Ribery but their ideal has always been the German powerhouse. It is the home players who are given positions of prominence at the club in retirement, not the imports.
So, by the time they have bought the best from every rival, and those rivals have been prevented from investing heavily in order to match them, what is left?

Jurgen Klopp — Dortmund coach and sure to leave soon because who wants to lose a league by 20 points and counting? — has compared the Bundesliga to Scotland.

Some thought he meant in the days of Old Firm domination. He didn’t. He was referring to Scotland now. One club, Celtic, that is so unhealthily strong its competitors are powerless.

Yet this week, UEFA secretary general Gianni Infantino held up Klopp’s Dortmund as the model of a club that had succeeded within the rules of financial fair play.

Succeeded in being 0.9 points per game behind Munich every weekend, succeeded in selling or losing its best players to them; succeeded in being steamrollered as the Bundesliga slides towards irrelevance. Just how UEFA designed it.
