hi bla
Hixx continually, like over multiple years, stayed the course on Ramsey, never once teetering from he's a good player but......
Even Wilbz wanted to exchange Mike for Ramsey.
Sensationally Absolutal.
TBF, Mike was kind of crap before. Maybe there's still hope for Ramsey

Everything was going fine, the squad was almost complete for change, and then ...
Asamoah out for 3 weeks.
Mandzukic out for 3/4 weeks.
Khedira out for 2/3 weeks.
Congrats Napoli / Bayern. Well undeserved.

Remember when Arsenal wanted to sign Suarez and paid 1 pound extra just to trigger his release clause?
What a time to be an Arsenal fan that was. Somebody should have been drawn and quartered.

sorry, i couldn't resist

So sad I missed the Liverpool x Leicester match, good to see that the Leicester 2015/16 BPL Champions dream lives on.
Got 48h to deliver a group project for Web Programming, the other 2 people in my group have said that they don't know how to do more than what they've done so far. They wasted nearly 10h in a simple piece code that I churned out in a simpler way in 20 minutes. Can't really blame it on them. 80% of the class is probably flunking at Web Programming.
By Bold 2 in One Go To PostI've never actually seen the Office, UK or USNeither are funny tbh.
By hixx Go To Postseason 5, handful of episodesBit of a nothing character but that Michael Scott Paper Company arc is one of the few highlights of post season 4 US Office.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostNeither are funny tbh.They're entertaining.
An easy watch while doing an assignment.
Prefer the UK Office by miles to the US one, though the US one becomes its own thing after the first season where it copied the UK series a bit too much. Also the Pam/Jim relationship is lovely to watch develop over the longer series.
The true story about bacon that will terrify sex addicts! It´s shocking!!
Someone give that marketing department an award already.

By Killer7 Go To PostHow has Martinez been sold for €42m. Thought he was avergae this season?Stupid people with stupid money. Stoke bought a shit CM that was a reserve for Porto for 24M€.
By LFMartins86 Go To PostStupid people with stupid money. Stoke bought a shit CM that was a reserve for Porto for 24M€.lol you don't know what you are talking about yet you keep parroting this crap. Imbula is far from shit he just has attitude problems.
By Bold 2 in One Go To PostI've never actually seen the Office, UK or US
I enjoyed both quite a bit.
UK Office is short and sweet.
US very much overstays its welcome but is very good tv for a number of seasons. There's like at least 80 solid episodes in there over the nine season run.
It's China. They got to pay insane amounts to get players to join them, and really football there is getting bigger and better. Who knows, it might not be that dumb for them to sign him at that price, or Ramires.
By Perfect Blue Go To Postlol you don't know what you are talking about yet you keep parroting this crap. Imbula is far from shit he just has attitude problems.Because I saw him play. Danilo Pereira is a far better midfielder than him but if Stoke had paid 18M£ for him, people would have said they were crazy.

By LFMartins86 Go To PostBecause I saw him play. Danilo Pereira is a far better midfielder than him but if Stoke had paid 18M£ for him, people would have said they were crazy.You saw him play for Porto when he didn't even want to be there. He wanted to stay at Marseille but because of the club's shit financial situation had to be sold. Like I said earlier his issues are with his attitude and that will get ironed out easily by Mark Hughes. The other stuff has nothing to do with anything and I don't know why you brought it up - the point is Gianelli Imbula was one of the best players in Ligue 1 in 2014-2015 and the money Stoke paid reflects that.
china is just going to make another retirement league at this point, but unlike the us they won't make few young talents here and there to export to europe
Not sure what makes you think that. It will take time for sure, but they are well in the right direction. Often hear svens assistant talk in the radio and it's obvious listening to him that it's not just a Qatar like vision they got. They are serious about their own youth development.
And say what you want about ramires and Jackson Martinez, but they are certainly impressive names for them, huge names really.

It will be certainly good for the league as the chinese players will get a chance to play and learn with Champions League players.
hopefully the players take it seriously unlike some mls retirees who couldnt give less of a shit if they tried
I try to avoid Arsenal debates/arguments these days.
I said it back before the Liverpool game. That was a game we had to win to show we are champions in waiting. We threw it away and have continued to fail at getting the results we need.
We might still win the league, but these players will not be good champions.
The club will not return to domination until he has gone. People always say "well he always gets the CL spot". Who gives a fuck? 20 years ago a mesure of a team's quality was finishing 4th.
He fails to address the weaknesses in his squad, which is down to either stupidity or blind loyalty to average players.
Arsenal have a team that is full of just squad players, except maybe four or five.
And again going back to how he always kept us in contention while managing a budget. Look what the likes of Dortmund, AM, Udinese, and Leicester have done. You can go a long way with a workable tactical plan.
Forget about what he is done in the past. The guy right now is a bum. He is an average manager. I can name at least ten Italian managers who are better than him.
He doesn't deserve to be managing a French bistro, let alone managing London's finest sporting institution.
And the worse thing is that board will never be held accountable for keeping him here. There is serious gross negligence at the board level if the club did not try and hire Pep.

By KidA Seven Go To PostI have a feeling China is going to produce better talents than the US in about 10 years.Certainly. That population combined with fewer immensely popular local sports to siphon top athletes from the potential pool will indubitably produce some respectable footballers in a reasonable length of time.

Arsenal being Arsenal
Leicester punking Liverpool

People are acting like the hate on Rooney and United was unjustified after last night's game.
Even though the last 2 good performances were against Derby and Stoke
And we had that tremendously poor series of draws and losses before. Now LVG stated that his team can beat anyone.
After wins against a championship team and a mid table EPL team.
