1st of all. Azgirl, Attorney/Witness ones were classic . I have knid of a same material about a TV host, and his interviews, but I'm too lazy to translte it right now. Anyway, 5/5 stars, and much thatnks. ------------------ Now: ------------------ A man commits a crime at the age of 20, and gets sentenced with 30 years of jail time. During those years he stays alone in his cell, nobody comes to visit him, and during this times he completely loses his connections with the world outside. After 30 years he becomes a 50 year old man, and gets his freedom. But he has nowhere to go, so he goes to a park, and sits there watching the people around. After some time a lady with her 5 year old son comes to the park. Lady sits next to the man, and her son goes to play. After a couple of minutes the kid comes back, and asks her mom. . . Son: Mommy, how was I born? The young lady gets embarresed from the old man beside her, and replies. . . Lady: The Doctor injected me a needle, and I gave birth to you. After the kid goes back to play, the old man who heard this conversation goes like: Old Man: Excuse me ma'am. May I ask a question? Lady: Yes sir. Old Man: Isn't the old method applied anymore?

I actually think that Gallas is captain material. IMO the captains shall not be the good guys, but the ones that hate to lose, never give up, and even sometimes yell at each other when it's due. That being said, I think he shouldn't have been the captain of Arsenal in the first place. I'd say the main thing for a captain selection shall be to look at whether or not he has at least 3 season with the team, and the more the better. In other words, captains shall be sort of symbols of their team. If it was up to me, I'd give it to Toure, with vPersie as 2nd, and Almunia as 3rd. Down here I don't usually hear news about dressing room incidents, but my money would be on Eboue as well, simply because he is the player that had the biggest downfall in the team. In 06 he was a starter, and now he is becoming reserve of the reserve. I won't be surprised to hear that he is unhappy in the team. Good shout. . . . I was erring more towards van Persie personally. I find him rather irritating but I'm not sure if that's because he is a truly annoying character or because I'm a Tottenham fan. :| I bet it's the latter one Well, now maybe I'm a little late, but here's exactly what I would've typed if I had replied to this a week ago: Considering our capability of losing our captains in 05 (Vieira), and 07 (Henry), I guess they'll go with Cesc. Last Saturday was horrible :yuckky: . Same thing happend my personal "big four" as well. (Juventus, Arsenal, Valencia, and local league team Liria). Neither of them scored, and only one of them was able to draw. All I said was Rijkaard is better than Domenech.

He seems usually like he doesn't know that wing backs are supposed to defend as well. If he can manage to be active on both ends, he may be a way better RB (but he'll never be among the elite of WBs). Also in this weeks game against Bate, Cannavaro didn't play, so instead of switching him with another CB, Schuster moved Ramos to CB, and replaced him with another RB. True That! I was just replying about "looking defensvely unstable" comment of yours. Overall he had a mediocre game. Yeah, thats what I meant as well. He just wasn't like his own self in this season, or maybe the whole year (with the exception of last years derbies.) I hope in 2009 he will be back 100%. You'd think not, but the sad reality is no one remembers all the goals, they only see the number And then these clowns people are called "experts".

Flamini was a filthy lil' bandit but my how they miss him. I usually rate all of the Arsenal players really high, and people usually don't agree. Even before the last season started, I was claiming that Clichy is the best LB in the world (though he needs some back pass practicing), that Almunia is better than Reina, that Fabregas is better than Lampard, Gerrard, or Ballack, and that vPersie is better than C.Ronaldo, Rononey, or Tevez. Among all the players of last season, there was only one, that I'd call him overrated, and that's Flamini. He was good, he never was something special, excluding games against Newcastle. Denilson is not a great CMF neither. I'd so much rather see Diaby in there, and sadly he's not great neither. I wish we'll manage to get either Aquilani, or Yaya Toure in the next season. Juve is in race for both of these players as well. Hopefully each of my teams will get one of them. Soccer = Football Football = Soccer They are the same thing. You are welcome to disscuss MLS here, while NFL is the one that is a different sport, even though they go by the same name. -------------------------------------- And the main event of the saturday night is Inter v Juventus. The Magic of Ibrahimoviç versus The Class of Del Piero. Thats exactly how the TV says. Seriously I'm looking forward to this game. If Juve wins we'll equal Inter in points. BTW did any of you see Ibras freekick the last week. Nothing special actually. . . Just that it went :|

Ooh, I've got some bad news about them. Nah, seriously I think that they are just like they were during 04-07, which was a pretty succsessful period. They are averaging like 3 goals a game, which proves that they may crush most of the teams that may stand on their way, but at the same time this playing style against the better teams will raise some eyebrows. Congratz. Along with M'Boro, and Sunderland, AstonVilla is one of the teams that I enjoy watching a lot this season. And Agbonlahor and A.Young are kicking ass. Actually Silvestre has been better than I'd expect in his first games, but I don't have big hopes about his games. That being said he makes a good backup, which is what he actually is signed for. I'd say the bigggest mistake that we made was loaning out Senderos. He was always a great backup, and a big threat in the corner kicks. Zuhahahahahahhaahhaha Pheew . . . Somethings I'll just never get. Players are getting booked for taking off their jerseys, but nothing happens when they drop their pants.

Well, IMO there are still quite candidates when it comes to winning WC. Before the WC06, rarely someone was picking France over Brasil, or England, and even though I was one of them, France was only my 4th pick. I'm sure that there'll be 7-8 teams in WC2010 as well, that may be counted as favourites, when the time comes. And I won't exactly call Italy a team who struggles in qualification rounds. Last year they struggled, only because they failed to defeat France (which is normal), and France lost twice to Scotland. At the end, they took care of that, by defeating Scotland twice. Actually Brasil may be the team to compare with France for struggling in the groups. Maybe Netherlands as well. But France has a clear lead in this departament, and Domenech is the only one to blame. That being said, France's success on WC06 depends only on their great roster. IMO, even w/out the legends like Zidane, Thuram, or Vieira, France still has the best players to make a complete team, which'll make them a threat in every tournament they'll participate. I feel you when you say that there is something wrong with Domenech "coaching" a team to the WC final, but can't we say the same for Avram Grant "coaching" a team to CL final. IMO Domenech is a coaching joke, but I'd still take him over Grant, any day. And even names like Rijkaard (who is better than Domenech), A.Ferguson (who is better than Rijkaard), or C.Anchelotti (better than Ferguson) are not great coaches in my book, even though they have hardwareful coaching careers. If the point is the performances in domestic, and champions versus the performances in World Cup, than I definitely agree with you. However what I tried to say was that if two players from two different teams, and different nationalities play nearly about the same during the course of the season/year/whatever, and one of them ends up winning Domestic Tilte, and CL, and the other wins the WC, I'd rate the second player higher than the first. And I enjoy watching Champions League a lot, too, maybe it's the most fun out of them all, but in my honest opinion, Luck is much more of an indicator in UCL, than it is in WC, or especially in domestic leagues. In Champions League you have no luxury of avoiding the booking of key players, to save them for the latter games (unlike in Domestic Leagues), and injuries have much more impact than in the World Cup, cause it's played in a shorter period, or in domestic League where you won't end up out of the copetition the next day. Just my thoughts Last year it was so, and I don't think it was that bad. We had Valencia - Real M., and Juventus - Milan finals in the past and it was Premier League's turn. If I'd see another ManU - Chelsea final maybe it would become boring than, but an Arsenal - Liverpool final is welcome to me. And I won't agree with you about CL becoming the Premier League (or any league for that matter), until I'll see like three straight titles from teams of the same country, which is really hard to believe considering lately no league has took back2back titles of UCL.

You mean never? In general, maybe, but Ramos is a player who is good (actually, really good) in the air balls which is one of the main tasks of CBs. Plus WBs shall not lose their way in defense, and completely concentrate in offense, which is a common thing when it comes to Ramos. Well, he is actuaaly really good at making the last touches in the box, as can be seen at his goals that came from Corner Kicks. And I can easily bet that Ronaldo as CF = 15 penalties per season. :| Hey, I like Kuyt! But yeah, his games against 'pool weren't any sort of impressive. However how you liked him against C.Ronaldo on Wednsday? He was quite good both ends of the field. Plus he scored an amazing goal, which got outshined by Elano's latter goal. Plus Kaka' got the best of Ronaldo in another of the direct meetings. You. . . Lampard . . . Fat. . . Frank . . . :shock: . . . OMG, you giving a shout to Lampard. My eyes are burning. Oops, may bad. For a sec I forgot that we were talking about Golden Ball, and I just mentioned which keepers I like the most. But no, definitely not this year. Well, after this week, probably yeah. However how much a goal is worth shall depend in lots of criterias. Sure the more you score the better, but if you are leading 4-0 against Stoke City, making it 5-0 in Loss Time. . . is that really something that shall effect the POTY awards?

One more thing I shall ass. This week was great for my teams. Real Madrid-Juventus, and Arsenal-Manshester United games were awesome, as both Real and United got bitch - wait for it . . . slapped . Tottenham is absolutely on a roll. When they hired Redknapp, I thought that they made it with perfect timing. They were going to beat Bolton anyway, while no one won't get at Redknapp if he fails against Arsenal, Liverpool, and M. City. IMO 2 points would have been really good in the last 3 games. Instead they got 7. :| Plus Bent scored 5 times in less than 72 hours. :| x2 And what do you guys think of Maradona becoming the new coach of Argentinian National Team. IMO thats one of the dumbest moves ever in football history. Now that Argentina (IMO) has the best squad among all the nations, and Brasil struggles a lot, Maradona is really a horrible gamble. He has zero experience as a coach, and even from his interviews you can get that he is way too untalented to become a coach (like most of other great players). This change is actually going to represent a first for me. I started to watch football(as in continuously) in 95-96 season. After that there have been 3 World Cups, and in all of them I used to yay for Argentina. But if Maradona is their coach, I'd like to see them fail.

Do me a favour and reserve your optimism for Arsenal only. And be sure to watch the Valencia games (but don't be optimistic :avada:)

First of all...

It finally started I was able to watch Lakers vs. Nuggets, and Kobe kicked ass in the 4th , I mean as usual :morning:

We beat them but now I fear the backlash at Anfield Yes, and you avoid Portsmouth aswell. I guess Gerrard has decided to care of bussiness all by himself, until Torres comes back. Now if only they can avoid the Spurs, which likely they will, they are 95% the Winter champs. just like this I am ninja Errmmmm,. . . Nothing that I can't handle Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, . . . Jealous pig? How about football genius! :anger: Seriously, with the current form of Walcott, and Joe Cole, it'd be offense to invite Beckham to the National team, while he doesn't play the game on the top level. And I'm a Beckham fan as well, I'd place him in starting England line up, but he's gotta now, that he's not unreplaceable. Besides You shall be thankfull. Because of Capello, you'll be able to watch Beckham for a lot more.

First of all, did I really have to open my big mouth? Valencia immediately responded with losing 2 points against Recreativo, and now Arsenal tied against Spurs. I guess it's time for me to use Eds pessimism tactics. <_< Anyway . . . Well, they have a solid defense, the best in La Liga actually. Not that their backline is great, but their midfield helps them a lot, and they don't allow lots of occasions to their opponents (it was so, even in this weeks 4-4 draw with A.Madrid). And they always risk you somehow. Even against Man.U, in a game that they didn't look so strong, they were the side who got closer to the W. They hit the post from like 6 meters, while the best that Man.U was able to do, was trying to shoot from the distance. Out of the big teams, they are the team, that changed the least from last season, and last seasons games against them were nightmares to me. Pires, Nihat & Rossi are great at moving the ball in the dangerous area, which is exactly what threatens us the most (Braca's frontline may be better, but they are not really pass orientated). Last year in El Madrigal they defeated us 3-0, while having 4 posts, and numerous missed oppurtunities. I'm a big fan of Valencia for years now, and except of 04-05 season, I continously have followed their games, and that game was by far the most desperate I have ever seen them. Now, I don't want to sound all pesimist, actually I'm pretty optimist about this years games (we just can't be that bad, last year there was really something going on with the team), and hopefully we'll get like 4 or 6 points from direct games, but still, if I'd be given a wild card, to win a game w/out playing it, I'd use it against Villreal. I like Renan actually, but I'm one (of the few I guess) that actually likes Hildebrand better. There were games last season that I had watched the whole game, and Timo was the reason we didn't get routed, but when watching the short version of the games, or just goals, it usually seemed like he was the only reason we were losing those games, as to be honest he allowed some type of goals. I think our defense is our weak point, but not our Keepers. I have faith in both Timo & Renan. As of our offense, I think on paper, we've got 5 world class offensive players (Villa, Moriantes, Silva, Vicente, and Jouaqin). If we have 4, or at least 3 of them on the field (sure with them being like 80%), I don't think we'll have hard time to score. Especially if Silva & Villa are both playing, I'd say we'll have only like 2 games, that we won't be able to score. Our defense on the other hand,. . . Well, Maybe we shall convince Villa, that there's a spell that curses the argentinian players who play for Valencia, and that his career will have a falldown after he leaves the team. *genius* Come to think about it,. . .
