How people aren't picking one of the most gifted footballers of the past 25 years in CM is beyond me.

couldn't help myself

People need to read up on the 'can we make the CL' thread

Very good shout this.

So that would still be in West Ham's hands then?

Has anyone who's seen Bayern much this season able to let me know if a front three of Robben, Ribery and Mario Gomez with Schweinsteiger spraying it about is as good in real life as it is salivating on paper?

lol k nn =)

Hans how can you not get the fact that it simply isn't in our hands right now? If we win all our games and so do Tottenham, then we finish on the same points. If they score more goals than us for each win, or even if we don't score enough to catch up their goal difference, then they will get 4th. This shows that factors external to our control (that Tottenham can maintain a superior goal difference and win all their games) would prevent us from getting 4th, and thus it isn't in our hands.. In our hands would be if we were 1 point ahead of them, or the goal difference so weighted in our favor that it would be simply improbable that another team could make up the difference, and only with a mathematical chance. Right now, it's in no-one's hands, but if Tottenham were to win all their remaining games by a 1-goal margin, they would have +24 goal difference. We would then have to win all our games, making up a 16 goal deficit in goal difference, 16/5 = 3.2 clear goals per game on average for all our remaining games, including Man City of course. Can you see how this really isn't in our hands, not in Tottenham's, but in the realms of reality it's Tottenham's spot to lose?

They're all fakes for the retro-shirt sites, but the only thing that is missing is the maker badge. I could live with that =)

We don't have an old Kits thread.. if worthy please make my post into the start of said thread Dave/mods http://www.kitbag.com/stores/kitbag/products/product_details.aspx?pid=100310 http://i41.tinypic.com/6iecfl.jpg I have this uncontrollable, unreasonable urge (3 u-words in a row, awesomeness) to get Ben Arfa 10 on the back of this.

*titter*

Villa's form pretty much bang on ours when we went down.

Being happy to have your players sign for Barca/Real is normal, it's sort of a big 'I told you so' to the rest of your mates who don't support Newcastle who are fed up with you raving on about them.

We've got an easier run in than Spurs, 4 of the bottom 6 are not easy games as everything is still to play for down that end. We've got games against teams whose season is already over.

Ben Arfa vs Bolton, that Goal. That was the moment when I thought, oh my god, what a team we have that we can pull out magic like this.

Looking at the table, I have no idea why I had the compelling urge to do this.. http://i43.tinypic.com/5alz4i.jpg but I did

When was he born and was he your first HTT? My first was born 9th March, son also =)

Chelsea away a fair few seasons ago near/at the end of the season, 1-1 away draw with Bramble getting our goal. Anything can happen

Turn that tattoo 90 degrees it looks like he's face down with his head dangling over the edge of a swimming pool with his brains blown out into it.

He made an account to actually post that. Apologies to our sound American fans, but that is nail on the head for the typical American stereotypical 'soccer' viewpoint

Thanks for the translation, much appreciated Was really a strange sentence from Ba here indeed. Said something like : "Hatem doesn't like when we say it but he dislikes when we see him working hard"... Well I would say I'd pay to see Hatem training hard because he's not very near to be the laziest player I've ever seen when training. Look at him during the warm up before matches, he just does the minimum effort! It's crazy, don't know how he does for the match after... But if he can score goals like yesterday, don't care tbh... There's something about that sentence which reminds me off someone who lacks(or lacked) inner confidence - they're shy of people seeing them try hard...and also a sign that a previously troubled person has been able to turn a huge corner in their life Yep, looking into that WAY too much Just the ego tbh, the ego of a genius who also has to tidy up his lego set after he's had a bash at replicating St Paul's in only 2x4 red blocks.

They've also laughed at our Ben Arfa Messiah photoshop =) They are following this thread.

aye but doesn't thatmean having to take each post and basically babelfish it ? no way to translate the site ? Use Google Chrome and it has an auto-translate button that will pop up, push that and it will translate the entire forum as you go through it.
