Someone mentioned Soldado yesterday in relation to Bacca
I genuinely can't come close to understanding how he's flopped so badly.

Re: Firmino, in the 13/14 season he had an absurd 16 goals and 11 assists, which would have made him the most productive AM in the premier league, if he had the same stats. edit: actually he would have been 2 g+a behind Toure
Now, this season he 'only' managed 7 goals and 10 assists. I can't speak for whether 13/14 was an outlier and this season was closer to his expected stats, but it's very much worth pointing out Hoffenheim's performance as a whole. They finished 9th in13/14 and 8th in 14/15, but their goals are remarkably different, with 72 in 13/14 and only 49 in 14/15, but also with a fall in goals conceded from 70 to 55. I don't think it's too much of a reach to suggest that Hoffenheim adopted a much more defensive system and that this had a knock on effect on Firmino's output.

do you remember animorphs
my theory is that he is one of those and can turn into a seagull at any time. He isn't actually a footballer but a genetic experiment to create the world's first animal/footballer hybrid.
But they accidently crossed him with the bird shit instead of the bird
No, I mean, I think Arsenal can definitely improve, and if they can ride on the 14/15 end of season form with a few key additions, then they can have a very interesting start next season. But things aren't ever so simple. Just like form fluctuates throughout the season it doesn't simply carry over from one season to another. Also City and United (especially United) aren't just sitting on their butts.
I wouldn't scratch out the possibility of Arsenal fighting for the title, and I would even enjoy seeing it, it's just that fans can never resist on embarking on that boat every summer that they sound convinced it's more likely that Arsenal will fight for/win the title next season rather than not, and where every decision made over the summer was amazing, if they didn't get a player they were never in for him, and Giroud and Welbeck are good enough that this transfer season can be considered a success even without buying a quality striker. But I digress.
I'm really not hating on Arsenal, I truly would have some enjoyment seeing them winning the title for a change (same goes for Liverpool obviously, or at this point even United winning it would be refreshing).

Nah m8.
By L1NETT Go To Postdo you remember animorphsSo was that Soldado that dropped into Ashley Young's mouth?

By Slizz Go To PostSeptum piercing on a female, y/n?Only some can actually pull it off tbh.
By Slizz Go To PostSeptum piercing on a female, y/n?No, look shit.
Bid in today for Wijnaldum. We will probably have to go higher but definitely a bid in and both clubs trying to hide it means they are willing to negotiate you would think. Aw yiss.
By Laboured Go To PostWhat a time to be dc.
Etihad's new stand looking much like it will mid-season.

I just look at him and see someone who can fill Suarez's role in the squad. He'll likely never be as good as Suarez and that's okay, few footballers ever will, but he's got the same tenacity, the same aggression, he plays in the same areas, and he's both a creator and a goalscorer. Similarly to Suarez, he'll probably start out in a midfield position or maybe as a second striker in a 4-4-2, but will harass opponents all over the pitch. Coutinho is maturing into our best player, and Firmino would be a great foil for his creativity since he's always on the move, like Suarez was.
Stylistically he's the closest thing available to play the kind of football we played last year, outside of maybe Alexis Sanchez or Carlos Tevez, but one of those players we already tried to get and the other is 32.

Indeed, it's worth pointing out that his tackles+interceptions per game are superior to pretty much any other attacking player out there, both this season and the last.
I saw a bottle of this wine on Sunday and it was a sign.
I don't speak Italian but I am fairly sure it says Falcao is Torres. We have to pull out before its too late.

I know why you are asking this

That was me, and i think he will be.

By Woodenlung Go To PostI know why you are asking this
Part of the reason, but not the whole reason. Lots of females are getting it lately(like normal ones not celebrities). I personally like it.
By Zabojnik Go To PostI defer to Wooden in all matters of mutilating one's body.
I'm afraid of needles. Will never get a piercing. Don't want one either though.
By dark_prinny Go To PostNo piercings pls.No bellybuttons or nips?
By dark_prinny Go To PostNo piercings pls.Pierced ears are completely fine, belly buttons too. Prinny pls.
By dark_prinny Go To PostNah, they are vulgar and unpractical.when is mass, father?
Don't mind it on a girl if she does not over do it. Also it feels great to have your salad tossed if they got a tongue piercing, I heard.
Prinny was also very upset with the whale I got on my arm. But man. It's a whale. How awesome is that?
No piercings, no tattoos, no rings, pendants, medals or anything. Clean and pristine. Then dirty and wild.
ear gauges are fucking gross though, even if she/he is hot as fuck
its like a new set of holes that you dont know how to deal with

Just saw Jurassic World.
Man, they're lucky the inherent concept of dinosaurs is so fucking cool :lol. I'm sitting there watching raptors run in tandem with a motorbike and thinking 'yeah this shit's cool'
Unfortunately the rest of the film - save for the first couple of minutes where I heard the famous music for the first time - wasn't very good.
Diabolical script; like, literally awful. Every character was an exposition machine. One fucking guy decided to drop exposition just as he was about to get eaten. "IT CAN CAMOUFLAGE" lmaooooo I was dying.
Bryce Dallas Howard is a horrendous actor but mad props for running in heels.
They couldn't even bother to go all out for a good animatronic dinosaur and instead it had shitty looking eyes and did the same repetitive flapping in the entire duration of its screen time.
The fucking Indominus kept creeping up on people and only making noises when it was right next to them.
That fucking kiss in the middle of the pterodactyl scene. Fuck off.
Worth it for the score and the brief bits of nostalgia. Everything else was pretty shit.

This is fantastic.
"Newcastle would do well to sell Cisse for £10million while the player now 30-years-old and four years. That fee would represent a profit, the club having signed him for just £9million from Freiburg."
WHAT
This is fantastic.
