Remember that goal from Metalist's Taison last week ?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJWEn9Y25Lw

Marco van Basten reacted as well : ''To be honest I think his goal is better than mine vs the Soviets during EC 1988, he shoots with the outside of his foot while my ankle was taped all the way. I really love the way he shoots the ball, both goals are absolute beauties, but yeah, his is better.''
 
LOL

Roberts seem to hate Suarez. On MOTD towards the end he seem to imply that Suarez caused the injury to JT on purpose, but at the same time he failed to mention that it was Ramires who pushed him. Also he had a dig at Suarez because he pushed Ramires off him for the goal but ignored how Cahill was holding on to Wisdom as if he was his girlfriend.

The interactions between Roberts, Hansen and Owen last night were gold-dust -- you could tell things had been said off air or something -- real snarky humour from Hansen!

De Gea seems to be settling in rather nicely now.

He's getting more comfortable with crosses.

We just need to sort out our defence and ten we'll be in good shape.

That gif cuts out the best part at the end :/ lol



Looks like it. Wonder if he was banned for being an alt or for the remembrance stuff with Arnie.

Probably the telling him to do one although in a more caustic way shall we say. He was always going to get banned at some stage just didn't have the brains to wait til he was a member.

Its hardly a surprise, he was really confrontational and had a holier than thou attitude.

Was at a Korean liquor store the other day and my phone went off. My ring tone is gangnam style. I was embarassed

Serves you right.

He gets a lot of the blame for goals when some aren't his fault. He's definitely saved us points this season

lol i swear fake ronaldo gets injured every fucking time there's an international break coming

and people tell me he's not a pecho frío?
 
Why so small man? Over here 32" aren't too expensive, bought a Philips a few months back for 350 euros.
My bedroom is like the size of Harry Potter's cupboard under the stairs :p :lol

Nah not really, I have two shelves above the end of my bed and 22" would be a good size for it, I think.

Whatever suits you and you room then :p

With a 22" it's best if you sit quite close by, it's small :p

In Liverpool's defense, maybe they were saving all the celebrations for the Suarez winner. (he came close a few minutes later!)

Interview with Judas

Paul Pogba has apologised to everyone at Juventus after he was dropped for the Pescara game for disciplinary reasons. “I don’t plan on being late again.”

The Frenchman was omitted from the squad that won 6-1 on Saturday night as punishment for arriving at training late on two separate occasions.

“I was wrong and I’m very sorry,” he told Tuttosport. “And of course, I apologise because I know I have been disrespectful to boss Antonio Conte and my teammates.

“It was not my intention to do so and my delays are related to issues that are very trivial, but they are mistakes.

“I know that mistakes are also needed to mature and every experience is useful for the growth of each of us. I realised my mistake and I will do everything to make sure that it is not repeated in the future.

“I think the matter is now closed. And I have no intention of re-opening it by being late again!”

Pogba has been a revelation in Turin since he left Manchester United in the summer at the end of his contract.

“This is a great club and there are not many differences compared to Manchester United, they are two of the most important clubs in the world,” he added.

“The difference here is that I feel appreciated, the players believe in me, the Coach believes in me and I have the opportunity to play.”

Pogba also revealed in the same interview that he almost gave up football in order to play table tennis!

“I played football because of the Brazilian Ronaldo,” he added. “When I was nine I had to choose between table tennis and football because the lessons for both fell on a Saturday.

“Then the 2002 World Cup arrived and Ronaldo bewitched me. That’s when I left table tennis for football. But I’m still quite handy with a bat…”

Interview with Jesus Christ.

Antonio Conte “I say to those who judge me that they should try to live one day as a guilty man when you are in fact innocent,” he stated.

“Do I miss the bench? My wife has constructed one at home for me! I watch television on it…

“It is inevitable that I miss the contact with the players and the fans. I’ve had to triple my workload as a consequence.

“I could intervene during a game before so now everything is a lot more difficult. But I have excellent collaborators and responsible players. Excellent professionals who help me a lot. I’ve been able to get into their heads, but I miss the pitch a lot.”

Conte’s Juventus had gone on a 49 game unbeaten League run until Inter came to Turin and collected a 3-1 victory.

“Juventus have never lost their hunger,” he stated. “We were less intense than usual against Inter. The defeat made us understand that we have to always play with intensity.

“I have to compliment Inter though, they’ll fight for the title with us.”

Turning to his side’s chances of winning the Champions League, he admitted that his club are handicapped financially.

“We have to remember where we came from. If Roberto Mancini and Carlo Ancelotti say that Manchester City and Paris SG need years to win the Champions League, with their investments, then we’ll never win it… Fortunately, money is not all that counts.”

Their European progress has been hampered somewhat by a shock 1-1 draw against Nordsjelland.

“We have to take things a step at a time. And we don’t look back. The draw in Denmark was right, even if we had a host of important chances.

“It made me laugh to read that Nordsjelland were considered as a Serie C side. They are an excellent team who deserve to be in the Champions League.”

Conte also spoke highly of Paul Pogba, the midfielder who he dropped at the weekend for failing to be on time for training.

“I didn’t hesitate at all in giving him a starting shirt in Serie A at the age of 19. I made my Serie A debut at 16.

“It’s up to me and him to turn him into a champion. He’s a good lad off the pitch and has the potential to be the world’s best.”

On his policy to continually rotate his strikers, he said: “I have five attackers in the squad and it is hard to keep three on the bench.

“But what I am interested in is that they always provide answers when they play. They are all as good as each other, they just have different characteristics.”

He also defended the use of his 3-5-2. “I’m more concerned about the principles of play than numbers. The 4-3-3 is the most defensive system we use. The formation we now adopt is super offensive.”

Atalanta, not only are they sitting pretty at 6th place, but they did so by beating Napoli, Inter AND Milan.

Whole interview, soon to be subtitled: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IbMRvXt2Os

I love this man. He just fucking gets it. Some real gems in the interview. 'We are horny' :)))
WE ARE

There's more from Pogba too!

Off twitter. just to avoid spamming everyone's TL I'll post it here:

Pogba: "Pirlo always looks serious, but in the dressing room, he makes everyone laugh"

Pogba: "Conte is more serious than Ferguson in trainings. He demands maximum concentration and I like it because he is a winnner"

Pogba: "The difference between Juve Stadium and Old Trafford? Not much. It's great atmosphere both places, but here the fans sing my name!"

Conte: "Congratulations to Dortmund. They play well and Klopp is a great coach. " BVB love! <3

Conte: "I hope to become the Alex Ferguson of Juventus. I always knew I would return to Juve"

Conte: " ... ovviamente devono essere forti come Marchisio, De Ceglie e Giovinco, non e' che possiamo portare in prima squadra delle pippe. [smiles]"
