I got bit by Canadian geese as a kid. They are cunts as well. They are very arrogant birds, they just have this arrogance about them. I think it would depend on which part of the arm and maybe even the person. But either way, the cunts can definitely give you a nice old bruise atleast. To be fair though, I don't blame it as it thought I was a threat to its young, it didn't know I was helping it. It's just one of those things.

Swans are little bastards. I was fishing from Friday until Sunday and on Saturday morning a guy had his line tangled on a cygnet(a baby swan), but there was a mother and father with it, which wouldn't let him near the cygnet so he was unable untangle the line, while keeping the parents distracted at the same time. Anyway, I went over and helped, I tried to distract the mother while the guy was untangling the cygnet, and the little cunt smashed me on the arm with its wing. I've got a massive lump on it now. They have some power in those wings, it was pretty much like a punch and I used to think it was an old folk's tale that they could break bones. They definitely could in my opinion. Luckily the cygnet was untangled, it was unharmed and returned back to its family where they headed off, but seriously watch it with swans as the little cunts are dangerous . @Cannabis that's another injury to my list.

Alot of Brazilians have historically done well at Barcelona so this could end up being the case again. He has certainly impressed me when I've seen him and I don't personally view him as being a signing similar to Marlon or Douglas and let's not forget that Neymar came directly from Brazil to Barcelona himself.

Fuck that off.

The next signing looks to be Rabiot. What do you think of him Riccy?

Yeah that one is like a series. I'm gona start watching it soon.

I think I'll stick to going fishing as my hobby!

Yeah he did a lot better than expected in the first half of the season and looked a real good box to box midfielder, but it was short lived and he ended up becoming a player where everytime he entered the field you thought "surely Barcelona have better options than this?" him going back to China is for the best. He will be remembered more for his good services and important goals if he goes now as I think he would struggle a lot next season. What is the news on Aleña's injury @SirBalon?

I actually forgot about that. But this is great news as Yerry is class. Anyone judging him on one game against Levante when he had barely played and was thrown into the deep end are overreacting. He deserves a chance and needs a proper run in the side. I'd have him in my line up over Pique at this point.

At the same time though, the club need better quality players than him to continue progressing, so it's a good deal all round. As you say he was a likeable character and at first looked similar to the Keita signing, although it was shortlived and he was awful in the second half of the season. Now to get rid of Digne and Andre Gomes. Time to ship out the junk and bring in better players to improve the depth. Arthur is on his way, which is a big plus. Let's hope it works out as it doesn't always. As for young players. Oriol Busquets now has a 200 million clause in his contract. That is the type of direction the club need to be going in. Himself, Aleña and Cucurella potentially have what it takes to be the future of the club.

Yeah I've seen murder rap. In fact, we have actually discussed this aleady on the old forum if I remember correctly. I'm not sure about the Puffy part and whether he ordered it, although the South side crips being behind it seems almost certain to me. Puffy could have been behind it though. He's always seemed like a bit of a weasel and sneaky guy. The Biggie one is more mysterious as it could have been anyone from the South side crips themselves, the mob pirus, the LAPD to some random crazed fan.

All this talk lately about Keffe D admitting to being involved in 2pac's murder. Keffe D was the uncle of Orlando Anderson, the South-side crip, who was jumped by 2pac and the Death Row entourage after the Tyson fight, the night he was murdered. This makes the most sense(and always has) as you don't jump a crip without reprisals, especially not one who had a reputation to keep like Orlando Anderson aka Baby Lane. People just try and start conspiracies, when in fact the South side crips being responsible sounds the most logical explication due to obvious reasons. It's not official it was them, although I believe it to be as good as solved in many senses. We will never get the full story though and the Biggie death is a lot more mysterious for me. This isn't something new mind as it was documented in this brilliant home made documentary that I saw last year:- Speaking of Orlando Anderson, his uncle Keefe D and Co, they actually made an appearance in a few hip hop videos from back then, including this one from rapper Mel Low(which also actually features Redman, who is an Eastcoast rapper surprisingly collaborating with Westcoast artists during the east-west beef):- You can see Orlando Anderson rolling dice at 1:34. All this shit was was much deeper than just music. @Panflute, @6666, @Teso dos Bichos, @JOSHBRFC, @bozziovai

For 50 million they are saying, so hopefully it's true. Barcelona need better than him, let's be honest. He had a bright start to his Barcelona stint, but has since been very poor. I think the club need to start looking at higher quality players if their intentions are to win the Champions league.

I'm surprised there has been no talk on here of the kids and football coach being stuck in the cave in Thailand. Fuck being stuck in there. It looks like it's going to be some mission to get them out also, as one of the rescuers(an ex Thai navy seal) has died today.

@Marc

I personally believe Messi should retire from international duty, but after the Copa América next summer. Full focus can then be on Barcelona, which would massively benefit the club as it would mean a longer career due to not having to play all the extra international games. @SirBalon I think there is a big season ahead for him myself. Last season he was excellent. The only let down was against Roma, specifically the first leg where he was trying too hard to do the spectacular in an uncharacteristic manner. Other than that though, he was as key as ever in a successful campaign and was brilliant against the likes of Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid, Juentus, Chelsea and the Copa del rey final. He also seems to come back angry and unleash his fury after World Cups as seen in 2010-11 and 2014-15. I expect similar next season as he's in good shape. Coutinho is also going to be massive next year. I think the team in general looks strong, there just needs to be some work on the depth of it. If possible, I think keeping Yerry Mina is important for the near future. The lad is quality and also has leadership qualities. He is easily deserving of more minutes and a place in the squad.

I think I do mate, I can't even walk on it. I wonder if Any O is selling his mobility scooter?

I've fucked my ankle now, fuck sake. I don't know what it is with me and injuries this year. I should sign for Arsenal.

@Cicero

I'm genuinely considering getting a Sparrowhawk.

3:30 on Is there any better part of a song ever, where it changes to a different beat? Hard as fuck. Just great. @bozziovai That is what you call hip hop mate

Maybe it was actually Cosmo? I should have kidnapped it and demanded some high grade Californian bud

Don't get me wrong, I find them cute as well in that regard and like all animals, I have time for them, but we do need to watch what we are doing by releasing animals into the wild. It's just a shame that they don't target only seagulls, crows and magpies, as all are over populated and don't have any natural predators! Speaking of cats, as I was chilling eating my dinner today on my brew at work, some cat randomly came over wanting feeding and petting, so I gave it a bit of my sausage and chips(it didn't like the chips though ) and chilled with it for half an hour. It didn't look stray or anything as it was in far too good condition. It looked very well looked after in fact.

Class signing, although I was never sure why they sold the lad in the first place personally. He's always had the talent. I suppose moving to Espanyol helped him progress though and 12 million is nothing today.

Sickening.
