Village Idiot

Some really tasty games in there.

It's all the brits leeching off our social security!

It's kinda sucky, but with the recession, extending subway times for now it's not feasible. Financial efforts have been focused on keeping fares low, which is pretty important when you have the kind of unemployment we do.

Well, at least they take fans into account. When Barça gets a 22.00 Sunday kickoff you have to run like Usain Bolt to be able to catch the last subway home (subway closes at 00.00).

Reckon they've become so fixated on being focussed on tight defending they've lost their limited way going forward. Doesn't help Griezman is off form at the moment, Carrasco missing too. Their two wildcard players. Yeah, they are slow and dull going forward. Teams got savvy enough to not let Griezman run wild on the counter, and they don't seem to have much more venues of creating chances at the moment. They are missing Turan, on that regard.

Just heard the director of Radio Marca saying that Celta are better than Arsenal anyway, so bitter

Who would've thought that after buying Vietto and Jackson, and having Griezman already in the squad, Atlético would have such trouble finding goals.

Well that would work if every team was Barcelona. Yeah, a CB with great recovery is exactly the kind of CB we need alongside Piqué. We push up our defence a lot, so we need a pace-ish CB to deal with counters and long balls over our back 4. Him and Piqué complement each other well.

Mascherano is great for us. He gets a lot of stick as a CB but truth be said we miss him a lot when he's not there. His recovery and tackling skills are unmatched in our squad. I think he's one of the best tacklers around to be frank. Him and Piqué complement each other well. Problem is that beyond that we have a lot of dross in defensive positions.

By the way, extremely telling that Lucho didn't make any sub tonight. It's pretty clear he doesn't trust anything from the bench when facing the big boys, I just hope their legs don't fall off when we get to the business end.

English football in general that though, far from exclusive to Arsenal. It's ridiculous though, I'd stay just to watch Messi, Neymar and Suarez play together. Yeah, I wish I could do that. Oh wai-- EDIT: okay, that was a bit cuntish, wasn't it?

Fantastic result. Thought that Arsenal put up a very good display but we managed to get the better of them during the second half.

It looks like it was just Nauzet and Araujo.

I suppose there's more to the story than it is being let on. Drinks and young people can be an explosive mix.

Several Las Palmas players were beaten up by their own fans after being caught partying after their defeat against us, this past Saturday night. Nauzet Alemán got glassed in the face and has received 18 stitches. Nasty stuff.

Wait, have we won this thing already? I don't want to jinx it...

I work from home anyway. And I never work the full 8 hours, just don't tell my boss

Nobody forces you to take the full hour, but you have to arrange it with your boss to then go home early. And there's a lot of peer pressure to not be the first to go home. That's actually a quite bad part of our working culture.

wat Starting work early sucks, but finishing work late sucks more. (work sucks in general, but hey...)

If we moved back to GMT, we'd have: 9-13: Work 13-14: Lunch 14-18: Work Which starts being reasonable.

They get two hours off in the afternoon, I believe. Used to be, but most workplaces have done away with that and you just get one hour for lunch. Our typical work schedule: 10-14: Work 14-15: Lunch 15-19: Work

They get two hours off in the afternoon, I believe. Just delaying the end of your work day. I'd hate that. Get it all over and done with. The earlier you start in the morning the better. That's where the wrong timezone comes into play. We have a late sunrise compared to other countries, so our workday starts later, and everything cascades down from there.

That's because we should actually be a GMT country, not a GMT+1 one. Our schedules are f***ed up because of that. Incidentally it's Franco's fault because he moved our timezone to match Germany's. Fascists...

Tellies control kick off times, so they are "optimized" to maximize viewership, matchgoing fans be damned.

Wasn't it at 19:30? 18:30 local time. Everybody's at work.
