obv in a country where every attacking move isn't a 60 yard lump forward to the big man/quick man it's possible to manage better in fog

chippy vela proves he is not always shit with a beaut of an overhead (i.e. he is the mexican rooney).

u wd think that Abramovich, with his boyish Tim Roth-esque good looks and enormous stolen fortune, wd realise that it's more fun to play the loveable, generous gangster and despot rather than just being a fucking cunt all the time

(James - am I right that the Emirates is ticket-free? How does it work? Do you swipe your card to gain entry?)
You use your membership card, which you wave under a scanner thing in the turnstile. Unless you've got tickets off General Sale, in which case they send you paper tickets in the post.

They send a man round and he presents thenm to you on a silver salver.

That fog's great. I particularly like the parallel universe results scrolling along the bottom: Stoccarda v Colonia, Amburgo v Norimberga, etc.
That reminds me, not only did Monaco get relegated last year, but they're now three points adrift at the foot of Ligue 2

i watched the first half of that parma game, wasn't actually that bad, iain dowie on the co-commentating duties seemed to particularly enjoy it. The game itself wasn't all that tho.

i've never understood chelsea shitting on alex. he has always seemed their best centre half whenever i watched them; even when cavalho was there. does he have a stereotypical shitty brazilian footballer attitude/eating disorder?
― big popppa hoy, Monday, 5 December 2011 12:10 (twelve years ago) link
Also on offer in the Chelsea's January sales - Paulo Ferreira. I'd forgotten he existed.

not gonna be able to catch the game until tomorrow but if the line up isn't -----------------reina------------------johnson-----skrtel---agger------enrique------------henderson--adam-------------kuyt-------------bellamy---------maxi-----------------suarez-----------------
i'm gonna need a written explanation from king kenny. Perhaps downing for kuyt is the only acceptable difference. Cue Carroll starting and bagging a hat trick.

Feel like this is a huge test tonight. Win and there's a huge top/bottom split that likely won't be bridged again this season; lose and there we are in the middle ground, could go either way, season of transition type-of-thing.
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 5 December 2011 19:55 (twelve years ago) link
nah that gap won't be bridged this year nor next regardless of tonight

― HI IT'S RONAN, Monday, 5 December 2011 20:10 (twelve years ago) link
It shouldn't be but bear in mind this has been a longish undefeated run. If it ends with us in middle ground, then there's a slump, the season could feel pretty dispiriting come new year. Spurs doing the good run thing the right way imo.

So who is Tony Hart then?!
Beloved creator of Morph?

HI RONAN
Good start here both teams with good chances
― Sad Banter (p much resigned to deems), Monday, 5 December 2011 20:14 (twelve years ago) link
Actually now that i say that, it occurs to me that Tony Hart didn't create Morph he just hung out with him
― Number None, Monday, 5 December 2011 20:15 (twelve years ago) link
yeah good game so far. liverpool have had some disappointing results this year and they won't finish fourth but they are definitely playing better football under the current regime than they have for many moons.

RIISE BELLAMY
Carroll's looking a bit more assured. When he does get it under control he could take his time a bit more, have a look round, because he does tend to bounce his man off a yard - he gets rid immediately, like he's always worried about being caught out.
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 5 December 2011 20:21 (twelve years ago) link
Lovely from Suarez, he didn't even drag it back but sold his man totally.
