i have a mac mini hooked up already. problem is no football add-ons that i could spot-- all add-ons looked pretty commercial and "legit". i have a paid service for the CL but the bundesliga one didn't work here-- it would just fail to load. i'd rather pay & keep things honest but crap service has made me an outlaw. anyway, i'll keep looking-- thanks. |

shaqiri loaned out to inter w/ buying option at the end of the year for 18M euros. a pity, but at the same time he rarely gets a chance to play these days.
also, hojberg loaned to augsburg till the end of the year (but strictly a loan, as bayern has extended his contract-- this is a good thing). === Quote:

Ronaldo wins the Ballon d'Or again. Totally expected, but totally deserved too.

Haha! Best bit was both Messi AND Roy Hodgson voted Mascherano as their best player of the year. God knows why.

don't know about hodgson but mascherano was the most reliable player for argentina (literalmente se rompió el orto) so that was probably an homage from messi's part. plus barcelona. |

No. Just no. He wouldn't even rank in my top 5 defensive midfielders playing at the moment. Hell he isnt even Barca's best. And what I say goes, so ner.

That'd be awesome. Quote:
Not surprised and he definitely deserves it. No disrespect to Neuer but I reckon it'd have to be a very mediocre year for outfield players before a goalkeeper ever wins it. Quote:
I agree. although if you're talking about other defensive midfielders, you can only compare him with those (like De Jong) who function purely in the 'destroyer' role, rather than those (like Busquets) who've edged it into more 'creative' territory. What players like Mascherano and De Jong do seems very unfashionable now, as the vogue is for more multi-dimensional players, especially in the defensive midfield role, but I think they're still vital and would rank Mascherano at the very top of his field. Never a candidate for a Ballon d'or but I see Hodgson's point. If I was a manager putting together a dream team he'd be one of the first names in my starting XI. Busquets is a better player but perhaps more reliant on a certain system, whereas you could slot Mascherano into any system and he'd still function (aka destroy). Meanwhile, West Ham v Everton tonight. May the best team win, unless the best team on the night happens to be Everton. |

Bring on round 2. Hopefully Lukaku can carry on from Saturday's game, and double hopefully Carroll is injured cos he kicked a feather pillow too hard.

Carroll's playing, so they were obviously super-soft feathers. And thank God Nolan's out. It really is too close to call. Wouldn't be surprised if it goes to pens.

Eh I like Nolan myself. Everton fan gripe-starting Mcgeady instead of Mirallas.

whatever you think of nolan, his legs have gone. People say it about lots of players and it's often crap but in Nolan's case it really is true. He just cant run anymore.

Great game so far. Very open. Could go either way. Valencia missed a sitter.

Yup. Meanwhile Robles without a shadow of a doubt will do at least, AT LEAST, two things that make me audibly groan. NO FILTHY THOUGHTS, YOU ARSES.
