Taylor Swift

BAA

What a fucking irresponsible tackle, especially after being responsible for the third goal. What a fucking idiot.

Gosling you absolute fucking moron

Fuck this.

Obertan is such a stupid player.

Cabaye's so pumped. He's going to score.

Commentator says Ameobi has great 'lazy' skills.

Fuck!! Close.

This coverage is what I get for every match

Obertan needs to come off, but holy fucking shit Shola needs to be killed.

Cabaye needs to push forward more because he's capable of stuff like that.

What a pass by Cabaye. Someone take Shola out, please.

BA!!!!!!!

Shola is so unbelievably shit.

Shola you daft cunt.

Is Shola awake?

I don't understand why we have suddenly dropped so very fucking deep to defend

Santon looks so comfortable on the ball, and he looks quite rapid too.

Santon looks amazing.

thomas, your avatar :lol:

Taylor playing at RB, Santon at LB.

LOLOLOLOLOL. Christmas came early.

Please don't group us all together. I couldn't wait for him to leave and I was celebrating for weeks after the January transfer window. Worst signing of all time. 35m! I was laughing, too.

I think one of the most interesting things that has come out of the sports science revolution is the fact that it's now commonly accepted that player peak physically at ages 23-25, and this is most evident in baseball and the NFL. I suppose we will see transfer money being more and more directed towards younger players. Anyone who's buying someone who's 26+ has to realize that they're not getting the player's peak. I think we will see football teams realign their transfer budget accordingly in the next few years, and obscene fees won't be paid for anyone much older, which is different from the past when players aged 27-30 were still thought of as 'peaking'. I know football has a huge mental element, but there's no denying that fundamentally it is a very athletic game, and it's very, very rare that players who aren't elite physically are elite footballers. The physical part is a necessary feature of being 'elite', and thus the realization of when players peak and the allocation of transfer budgets towards younger players will be an irreversible trend. But anyway, at its heart, moneyball is just a way of understanding the game better. Do I think that football is perfectly explained today? No. Do I think analysis could be better and more informative? Yes. So moneyball will play a part because there is still a huge knowledge gap between what we think we know and what actually happens. Football is a very complex sport but I believe that we'll gain a better understanding if we employ the methods that other sports now prioritize.

Low crosses also have the advantage of being harder to defend because defenders don't have much time to react.
