  1. I'd like a Dutch coach because they usually have an actual football philosophy and a bit of arrogance about then. Southampton got Koeman under the remit he had to sell half his fucking squad man.
  2. Disco tugging himself at Argie jobber making it big time.
  3. Loads of people said that for some reason, despite him banging in 36 goals last season to win La Liga and get to a CL final.
  4. Bit of a stodgy midfield for Atletico. They'll be playing for another stalemate. Should have one at least one of Arda, Griezmann or Cerci in there.
  5. http://www.worldfootball.net/attendance/ita-serie-a-2013-2014/1/ Should've said big 5, probably. Around 15,000 then. Ludicrous. Bit of wild generalising but it's gone the way of over here in the late 70s/80s for a lot of teams. Shitty grounds, threat of violence from fans/police, low standard of player compared to what was. Football mirroring general society. Shame. Shitty grounds is the biggest factor. Disproportionately sized, outdated and council owned. Slow and problematic bureacratic process makes it extremely difficult to get new ones. That coupled with every game being on TV means you have vast empty stands, which means you have a poorer product, which means you struggle to promote the league around the world. That leads to less revenue and poorer standard of play on the pitch. Juventus are the only club in the 21st century, basically.
  6. Luke fucking Edwards venturing towards speaking in the first person is odd but not particularly surprising.
  7. Spain really is a nation of gloryhunters. Anyway the Northern regions are the more separatist areas, so it makes sense.
  8. People who are massively picky with food abroad is an irrational pet hate of mine like especially when they'll happily shovel down various shite that they're just used to.
  9. Carrick is bobbins, he should be cast aside with Gerrard, Lampard and Barry.
  10. Where is Smith? Worse than all the CMs in that squad
  11. Good result, probably the hardest fixture dealt with easily. Rest of qualifying is basically a waste of time.
  12. Portugal are absolutely shite like, every qualifying cycle is the same
  13. He was born in Belgium, pretty difficult to do.
  14. Yeah post them directly into Twitter. It'll reduce the quality I think but the instant gratification of them in the timeline will take in retweets etc, as it has done with people who posted yours.
