He's got like 3 kids already :x

Just seen the posts on Twitter

Raheem Sterling is the ultimate scumbag, Has lots of kids floating round with different women and apparently pays nothing to support them,

Makes D Wade look good

View media item 771080Been meaning to put these up for a while if you can see them well enough. On my phone so I don't know. First should be the 06 WC where in Germany I saw Italy vs Australia. Italy won PK in like the 90th. And the other is West Ham game I saw. Their fans are amazing and the bubbles floating around are cool. Reason I'm a fan of them amongst other teams. Those seats were above a goalpost lower section. We were near the away fans side Everytime a game is on I can see my seat when there's a shot on goal. Also gotta Love stadiums that have the fans so close. West Ham game was opening day of the season, we won

Sounds about right, Alot of English girls are easy, Need to work hard to find them good ones in this day and age
You get girls here who go out to try and pull a footballer and that is there ambition in life, Never want to work and just feed off the guys wages

Loanee's can't play against loaner clubs tho

 

[tramericanjr]

I wonder if kenwyne jones plays for cardiff today as well

Oh snap, I completely forgot it wasn't a transfer, but a loan.

You're right.

 

[eiddyfouw]

Pedro is underrated man.

Only 26. Feels like he's been performing at a world class level for an eternity.

Very underrated, I used to wonder why the hell would he be playing for Barcelona

He's been my favourite Barca player for a while now. Often goes unnoticed playing next to Messi, Iniesta and Xavi, but his work rate, skill and talent are there.

 

[JJ Goon]

You're right.

Fabio can play though as he moved on a Permanent transfer

Not that he's going to make a difference.

Would David dare start Rooney, RVP and Mata tonight??? 

 

[mastamind89]

@SkySportsNews Borussia Moenchengladbach say forward Luuk De Jong is travelling to Newcastle for a medical

 

[hansi]

Luuk de Jong for a check in Newcastle.

 

[jking0821]

I am excited to see Willy Zaha finally get some playing time

 

[Coupé It]

Would David dare start Rooney, RVP and Mata tonight??? 

If he has any balls he will. 4-1-2-1-2!! I dare you Moyes

 

[abovelegit1]

A fellow Barca stan sent me this vid of Alba & Alves putting in work yesterday.

It was good to see Xavi play like he did yesterday looking like his old masterful self. His understudy Sergi Roberto bounced back from a sub par performance last outing & looked great again.

I loved how Messi dropped back again & helped orchestrate things from the midfield.

Glad to see Alexis still working hard. Ditto for Tello. He didn't score yesterday but his runs on the left side were still great.

Good to see the Dutch kid Ibrahim Afellay make it back on the pitch...

Despite the score, that Malaga goal keeper Caballero was putting in work.

Why'd you rate Roberto's game as great? He played around ten mins and made ten passes or so. I wouldn't consider Roberto to be Xavi's understudy. For one thing, he's of a different profile - more box to box than controlling playmaker. IMO, Rafinha is better, esp in that role. I'm not sure Roberto will be more than a squad player as he doesn't stand out in any respect in terms of talent. Same goes for Tello, whose decision making has somehow failed to improve in all the years I've watched him. His touch lets him down entirely too much as well. I think he'll rightly be sold this summer, considering a forward may be brought in and Deulofeu may return.

Agreed about Messi, he's been great as the 10. Tata suggested he'd see more playing time behind three forwards.

Don't understand why Caballero doesn't get national team consideration. Quality keeper.

They call that a 4-4-2. Or a 4-4-2 diamond. Fergie tried it a couple times last season to poor effect. It'd be interesting to see how it'd play out for Moyes with Mata in the hole.

So basically they are exactly the same as American groupie chicks then.

According to Sky Sports...RVP seems more likely to start than Rooney.

 

[jada2001retro]

RvP will start and get injured again.

When Sergi came in, I thought he slotted in very nicely. I didn't realize he played that little but he was passing the ball with amazing accuracy & working the ball around very effectively. He shows remarking poise. I think if given a chance, he could make himself into a solid midfielder. Even Xavi has said so several times.

Rafinha? He's shown flashes of great promise, however I have to wonder why he went on loan & Sergi hasn't? Rafinha is on loan to Celta Vigo right? I haven't paid much attention to them this campaign but will try & catch more games to see where he's at developmentally.

Deulofeu is an enigma. Very talented but has the reputation of having trouble getting his head through doorways with his large ego & sometimes petulant attitude. I haven't heard anything really concrete from the Everton stating this has changed. Prior to his injury, he looked good on the pitch for the Toffees.

Tello? With the arrival of Neymar to occupy the left side, Tello doesn't seem to fit in the grand scheme of things but I thought he was making great runs on the left side against Malaga, he just didn't get to see the ball much. Overall, there has been a lot of change since Pep's departure & I think it's negatively effected what Barca is doing with it's young players.

Zubi & company really need to sit down & review what they have & orchestrate what they plan to do. There's a bunch of 16-17 year olds that coming down the pike from La Masia that will factor into wanting playing time sooner than later...
