At 28, Theo Walcott is the oldest promising teenager in the world. At 25, Jack Wilshere is a riddle wrapped in a mystery shrouded by the smoke of a cheeky cigarette. At 28, Kieran Gibbs is at West Brom.
Ibrahimovic returning will be great. And all the better if he's playing a more withdrawn role leaving Lukaku to run in behind.

By Bold 2 in One Go To PostMy goodness…
Uros Porno Matic, the shit brother, also got pretty decent taste
Quite impressive considering he is even uglier than Nematic.
By Laboured Go To PostGary noBetter than him joining another team as a coach, like the England staff for example.
By Pele.gif Go To PostThe Ox is better than Lingard.Lol
Considerably.
Rather Lingard than the complete non entity that is Ox
By Pele.gif Go To PostThe Ox is better than Lingard.No one is questioning that when it comes to talent.
Considerably.
Just the performance. Ox is a large flaccid question mark.
By Laboured Go To PostInteresting that Zlatan now sees himself as moving to a no. 10 role. In theory I like it.He said this?
Lingard is a decent squad filler. He’s happy to be where he is now and is delusional enough about where he can go that he’ll keep chasing that carrot until his career is over.
Wanyama (and Alderweireld) is the only one missing for Tottenham this weekend. Everyone else are back in training.
It should be a good NLD.
But if there's one fixture where I'd expect Arsenal to turn up after being discounted, it's this one.

reminds me of that PES 2 bug where the keeper was always way up the pitch when you were on midfield, some spectacular goals after crossing the midfield line

Kick off boost back in the game?
Also, they are shutting down Marvel Heroes, only game other than FM where I had clocked 2k hours. Well, maybe Diablo 2 as well, but this was pretty much a Marvel themed Diablo 2. RIP $600+ spent

sounds about right. i defend like my life depends on it after a goal. but if you steal it quick enough you can steal their kickoff boost.

yeah but lingard applies his little talent better than ox's rumored massive talent.
Quite happy O'Neill has "turned us down". He's done well with Northern Ireland but absolutely fuck all of relevance in club football.
Gr8 cookery show on bbc1: a chef cooks while Michael Buerk goes "corr, imagine what the Queen has for dinner."
Would take Lingard over Ox any day of the week and can’t really fathom choosing otherwise. Lingard has scored goals in high leverage situations before and generally keeps quiet and follows orders. Dude is average af but gets too much scorn for the dabbing and what not.
Ox still thinks he can be the next Gerrard.

Curious to see if we play the 442 that faced West Ham again. Think it could be our best defensive formation due to the two DMs. Probably only for away games though.

ox would infuriate me, teams need 6/10 players, lingard is fine, acceptable and seems happy to be a bit part player.
They're both average players but I feel Lingard is better, by some margin. At least he tends to serve up an assist or score a goal on a semi-regular basis.
Bench material.

Looking at the World cup seedings:
There really isn't any potential group of death. Although I'm hoping we avoid Iceland.

Fuck me, Ox scored the same number of league goals for Southampton as he did for Arsenal
Lower leagues or not, that is terrible. He only played 36 league games for them.

Great Serie A weekend coming up.
Saturday @ 18h CET: Roma - Lazio
Saturday @ 20h45 CET: Napoli - Milan
Sunday @ 15h CET: Sampdoria - Juventus
Delicious. I'm hoping against hope (certainly in Milan's case) for two draws on Saturday, because I very much doubt we'll come back with more than 1 point from the Marassi.

Bale? I guess its to make up for his mediocre skills.
By W Go To PostThe one legit fucking horrible thing, is the batvision shit for simple shit quests, of collecting and finding clues. Fuck that shit. Was made even worse with that camera zoom in effect.It took me awhile to realize it, but they did enable you to turn off the Witcher vision/weird blurry thing on consoles too. That may have been added later in the game's life but it was crucial.
Why are we having this discussion?
Both are shite.
Wouldn't want them anywhere near my imaginary children.
