By flinbad the flailer Go To PostHow exactly does one many international players?You need at least 3 non-loan players who are going to be playing in internationals to be able to request that a match be postponed. We had issues last season with having to play matches last season without Armstrong & Kent because they didn't qualify as our players.
Also, I misspelt too.
being back for the international break is great actually, more stress-free days ain't itttttt
oh wait ventura
I wish I was really dead
Pja-Hig-Dyb as in both of them playing slightly behind him? Because juve-ing Dybala wide just to accommodate Pjaca would be a crime of biblical proportions, you criminal.
what about a 4-2-3-1/3-2-3-1? Or something equally as stupid? :lol HEY it isn't beyond Allegri!
yeah I don't like this whole 15-20 mins system, you either place YOUR WHOLE TRUST in the boy or you don't. I doubt we'll see anything of him properly until...I dunno, we get ravaged by injuries. If he's really good then might as well rotate between him and Incredybala, right?
wrong?
I dunno, I'm just rambling based on your assessment of the boy

By KidA Seven Go To PostSometimes it's good for us to see De Gea make a mistake. He is human after all. Him being so good makes us believe he is the one true goalkeeping god, but he's human like every other goalkeeper.
By Zabojnik Go To Post*MY EYES. IT BURNS. DELETE HIMwait lemme wash my hands and eyes with acid first
Call it a crazy hunch, but I think Allegri might be contemplating a Pjaca - Higuain - Dybala attack in the not too distant future. Someone asked him about it and he didn't outright dismiss or deny it, he said that it's a possibility and then procedeed with the usual shtick of 'Pjaca needs more time, he keeps improving at a steady pace, I'm very happy about his progress, etc."
My feeling is he'll soon become too good to be left out of the starting XI and Allegro will have to do something. I mean, I might be exaggerating a bit about his prowess, as one does when he's excited about a new signing, but it's definitely not fan fiction. He's been getting more and more play time as well. Never more than 20mins or so, but he's not an extra time player anymore. Every time Max puts him on, he creates a couple chances and goes close to scoring / assisting. You may say he's Januzaj'ing it, but it's kinda hard to do much more in 10-15mins, often when the match is either dead or dying.
I don't know if he'll make it, but I've seen enough "another level" players to recognize one when I see him. Please believe in Marko.
P.S.: Yeah, Asa and Rugani will be out for another month or so. Benatia should be back after the international break. No biggies.

You're back to being FF#2.
Just finished Uncharted 4.
Was pretty good, but let down quite a bit by pacing and basically any combat situation. Story and character-wise I think it's the best of the lot. Loved the epilogue.

By Ciaran Go To PostPja-Hig-Dyb as in both of them playing slightly behind him? Because juve-ing Dybala wide just to accommodate Pjaca would be a crime of biblical proportions, you criminal.Yeah, 4-3-2-1. Dybala obviously can't play a la Cuadrado in a classic 4-3-3, although he often goes very wide on the left, trading places with Alves and Khedira when the situation requires it.
By Ciaran Go To Postwhat about a 4-2-3-1/3-2-3-1? Or something equally as stupid? :lol HEY it isn't beyond Allegri!
Yurt m8, if there's one thing that's beyond Allegri, it's a midfield without three midfielders. His Coverciano thesis was about it, ffs.

Read it, it's short and very to the point. He does also talk about the inverted triangle, but as we know, Allegri's trequartista is very much a central midfielder at the core, not the old school 3/4ista who's supposed to hover behind the two strikers. Also, check his description of the qualities to look for in a regista. He's basically describing Marchisio, it's uncanny.
4-2-3-1 is absolutely out of the question with Allegri. 4-2-1-3 is doable in theory, but highly, highly unlikely. He loves his regista way too much.
By Ciaran Go To Postyeah I don't like this whole 15-20 mins system, you either place YOUR WHOLE TRUST in the boy or you don't. I doubt we'll see anything of him properly until…I dunno, we get ravaged by injuries. If he's really good then might as well rotate between him and Incredybala, right?He's receiving Morata's and Dybala's treatment, nothing more, nothing less. The difference is we needed someone like Dybala badly at the start of last season, so Pauolo got thrown in the mix much earlier than Elbuyback and Piazza, mostly because he was already familiar with Serie A / italian football. Allegri mentioned it several times. It's just what he does with young foreign players, he doesn't want to "burn" them. :asciishrug:

Watching MotD2
Definitely the best attacking performance I've seen from Man Utd this season. Must have had 9 or 10 clear chances.
We'll get nothing from the game if we do a similar job to Stoke in restricting them.

By Hitch Go To PostWatching MotD2Probably why I'm not... as depressed as I was last season. There's improvements, big improvements at the moment, but we still need to buck up in a few areas.

Apparently he re-married some Brazilian who came to Sweden a few years back and worked as a cleaner. How's that for stereotyping lol.
So yeah, his kid.

Decided to look at my gmail account from oldest to newest. Found an old email where I had a haiku I wrote about the oasis album leaking early (2005):
"new oasis album
leaked thanks to zee germans
got to love those krauts"
Is the term kraut technically offensive? Not sure what the stance is on that.

By FortuneFaded Go To PostIf you can imagine Jeremy Clarkson saying it, then yes, it is offensive.That is a pretty great barometer.
I feel kind of like it should be the equivalent of Yankees or Yanks which I don't have an issue with. I thought there was sort of a general consideration that it's offensive, but I wasn't sure if it had passed over to just like okay.
Sporting has announced that the club´s paid membership has reached 150k members. 3 years ago it was below 100k.

Westworld's premiere was pretty damn good. Its theme is a bit too familiar to sci-fi hardcores to evoke true wonder, so I'm curious where they'll take it in future episodes / seasons. Other than that, no major complaints. It's extremely well made. Doesn't scream 'god tier' for now, but we'll see.

Will have to use the ol' linux distro later.
Mama Toure might not be the most prolific goalscorer, but when she wants a goal, she will take one.

Playing a league on PES with Spurs. 9 wins, 1 draw in the league (0-0 v Chelsea). Haven't let in a goal in 7 league games. Won at Anfield. Leicester - City - Arsenal all in a row now. Real Madrid sandwiched in between the first two. Welp.

I really enjoyed it as well. I know they made 1 (or maybe even 2?) sequel(s) to Westworld so I'm curious of HBO's long term plans for it as a series.

They said they are planning for five seasons I think?
Of course it is modern HBO so I doubt it makes it past 2.
Feel like saying it's the best pilot I've seen in a few years, though I might be forgetting something.
By Wedward Go To PostThey said they are planning for five seasons I think?Nah, HBO is going all in with Westworld. They are hoping it will replace Game Of Thrones when it ends. They apparently spent 25M$ just on the pilot and the budget for the first season is around 100M$.
Of course it is modern HBO so I doubt it makes it past 2.
By Stolichnaya Go To PostFeel like saying it's the best pilot I've seen in a few years, though I might be forgetting something.
As far as pilots go I think The Night Of was really high up there. Too bad the series as a whole wasn't as great as the pilot. Still good though.
EDIT
@Martins
All very ambitious from them, but is Westworld the kind of show that can hook millions of people and gather great following? I doubt it can come close to GoT honestly.
