Ashley Cole (best fullback in the world at one point) always had Cristiano in his pocket but struggled against Valencia. According to some logic on here that wouod reduce to Valecia > Cristiano

So it worked once and Simeone, Hazard, and Conte are too stupid too adapt and change or even try to see if lightening strikes twice. You must be some genius to know about elite tactics that Simeone doesn't. Nice example by the way. The unnamed scenario that worked once before must be exactly the same as the Atleti v Chelsea match.

You do realise that plans that focus on elimating one player leave the other nine with more freedom? That is tactically naïve and a clown can see that wouldn't work; hence the reason it wasn't employed. That is so far removed from 'world class' it is school yard stuff; that is why Simeone didn't use such an obvious tactic. You think that within five minutes Hazard and Conte wouldn't see through something so transparent? You don't think Simeone doesn't have the foresight to know this? Someone that has watched this sport their entire life should know better and I truly beleive with that post your brought down the average IQ of this website 5pts. Sort yourself out

Why do you care? It isn't like their is a salary cap.

Jokes on you. I'm wearing mine right now.

You're a right mess of a Toffee, cunt.

Never gets old. The Slip,is one of the greatest moments in PL history

@SirBalon IMaybe it is just a difference if opinion but i've always thought language to be the ultimate divider. Put three people in a room; two white and one black. The black and one of the whites speak the same language, while the other white is completely unintelligible to them. Who will get along the most?

@SirBalon @Kowabunga What do you fellas believe would happen to Spanish national team? Would players of Catalonian descent choose between the two nations [if secession occurs]? What would happen with players like Andres Iniesta; whom aren't Catalan but have appeared for the 'unofficial' Catalan team? Would the Spanish FA block current internationals Spanish from appearing for Catalonia? Would it have to be arbitrated by UEFA/FIFA? There are also issues for players like Balde Keita. I could understand how Pays Basque would differentiate between Basque and non-Basque but the lines seem a lot blurrier for Catalan/Spanish.

Haha, I just realised that if I have kids with my wife they'll be about 1/64th Catalan.

It is a horrible photo.It should be great but it is pixelated to hell and back. I'd like to see a HD version

Spurs were a mistake

Yeah, it was a great watch. I haven't seen too many either. Didn't mind Vicar of Dibley, either. I'd watched that when it was on, never sought it out but always enjoyed it. Red Dwarf has always been my fav Brit-com (followed by Black Adder). I don't mind Peep Show but that came out around the same time (or before) the other shows I listed. Never seen Black Mirror, didn't know it was British.

To be fair, British tele has been for a long time as well (I can't think of anything that I've enjoyed since Black Books, or The I.T. Crowd). The Americans are kings at it but they tend to spoil it all by running everything for too long.

To me it is this but with sports.

It makes me uncomfortable how some culés talk about the kids at la masia.

Yeah but I'm pretty poor at it

It's okay to mediocre. I only play it once in a while with friends.

Because words are contextual and relative to the speaker and the listener. For instance, if I call a black friend of mine 'my nigga' is he going to be offended? No, it is between friends and understood as much. The word is different when used in different social scenarios, with different people, different inflections, and different intent. On the other hand if I said 'You're a useless fucking nigger'; even to my friend it is obviously completely different. This wasn't a racist incident; it did contain a slur but the slur wasn't used with racist intent. As you know words have several meanings; the word 'yid' has two, a derogatory term for Jews and term the Tottenham supporters refer to themselves as. 'Alonso notched a brace against the Yids' (context: football discussion) is a different statement that 'gas the yids' (context: violent racial slur; holocaust implications). Mate, you're a gweilo. Don't know what that means? Well, it is actually a Cantonese slur for white people. Are you offended? If you are, that is only because I told you it is a slur; otherwise the word has no context for you and is rendered meaningless because you don't have anything basis to form offence from. If we are to use the Post-Modern style of deconstruction, you would realise that the only reason we are offended by words is because we are taught to be offended by them.

An American Werewolf in London - 8/10 A sublime example of the horror-comedy genre. The humour is nuanced and the gorey special effects are in your face. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and would suggest it to fans of the Evil Dead and Dale and Tucker vs. Evil. Features a very catchy 70s soundtrack.

It cracks me up that Wonder Woman started as pretty much softcore bondage porn. Icon if feminism and all that.

But is it racist? It is directed at Tottenham supporters not Jews; it just so happens they share a slur.
