I thought you weren't allowed pork? On a serious note, I had a double down the other day and it was lovely. The only problem is, you don't get much with a "meal", so you need to buy a few pieces of chicken. They are nice though, but what I don't get is why they advertise them with just cheese or bacon and cheese together but not bacon only? Obviously they will give you one without cheese if you ask, but why not advertise it that way? KFC's service is slow as fuck while on the subject. If there are more than 2 people in the queue then you will be in there for about 3 hours. They take the piss.

Masta Killa's verse on that still takes some beating. Back when I was at secondary school Masta Killa was my favourite from the Wu due to verses like that. Unfortunately he never really brought out any great solo albums or anything and it was all about certain verses on Wu-tang albums where he stood out. For this, he will never be one of the top clan members like a Gza, Method Man, Raekwon, Ghost-face or Inspectah Deck(Ol Dirty was great as well but not as skilled as those 5), but that verse on there is still one of the best in Hip Hop full stop. it's same as Cappadonnas on "Winter Warz", an absolute beasty verse. One of the best verses you'll get in hip hop, even though he's not one of the top artists(thinking of it, masta Killa also has a class verse on Winter Warz himself). In fact, let's post that beast of a song as well:-

Have you not started a career mode yet mate?

I got Neymar on a free for Dortmund on Fifa 17.

Just been bleeding him into the side mate, but he's currently first choice either way as Umtiti is injured. I rotate a lot and like to use my squad. Eventually it'll be Laporte/Umtiti as the 2 centre backs and likely Grimaldo at left back. Ter Stegen Semedo -- Laporte -- Pique -- Alba Verratti - Busquets - Rakitic Messi ----- Suarez ----- Dembele Subs: Umtiti, Grimaldo, Ceballos, Saul, Denis, Iniesta, Deulofeu, Antonio Sanabria, Sergi Roberto, Mascherano, Paulinho. Now in January:- Outs: Paco has gone to Arsenal after they paid his clause in a deal worth 35.5 mil. Andre Gomes went to Atletico Madrid as part of a swap deal for Saul. Rafinha had his 45.5 mil clause bought out by City. Aleix Vidal has been sold to Leganes for 6.4 million. Chelsea have come in and stole Cilessen by buying out his 27.7 million clause Total earned: 115.1 million Ins: Saul in for Andre Gomes and 15 mil. Antonio Sanabria in for 28 million. Dani Ceballos in. He had a clause of 32.5 million so I bought it out. Real Madrid would be fuming. I approached Kepa from Athletic Bilbao, who has 6 month left on his contract. He accepted and will join the squad next summer on a free transfer. Iniesta has signed a new deal, with a lesser role Total spent: 75.5 million I didn't plan on doing all that business, but clauses were bought out leading to the window, so I had to make replacements(which I would have done eventually anyway, as nobody I wanted to keep in the long run have gone).

I knew he'd have Laudrup in there. Iniesta loves Michael Laudrup. Not surprisingly though as he was an incredibly talented player.

Massive news with Ineista signing a new deal. I was starting to believe that he was having thoughts on trying somewhere new next season and ending his career at another club, such at Juventus. That would have been disastrous from this board as Iniesta should retire at Barcelona. He's a true club legend and will always have great importance to the side whatever age he is, barring he isn't overused and burned out.

The key is to sign all the players you want to keep to new contracts and don't add a clause in their new contract. I did this straight away, but left clauses in some of the player's contracts, including Paco Alcacer's, who has had his bought out and will be joining Arsenal in January Ter Stegen Semedo -- Umtiti -- Pique -- Alba Verratti - Busquets - Iniesta Messi ----- Suarez ----- Dembele Subs: Laporte, Sergi Roberto, Grimaldo, Denis, Rakitic, Deulofeu, Paco Alcacer, Mascherano, Cilessen, Rafinha, Andre Gomes, Paulinho. A deal has been agreed to swap Andre Gomes(and money) for Saul with Atletico Madrid in January, so he will be gone in the next window. Also Paco Alcacer will be off to Arsenal, since they paid his clause and I was thinking of replacing him with Antonio Sanabria, who has a 30 million clause at Betis, although I should get him cheaper. I'll also be shipping out Paulinho when it allows me to and it looks as though I will be losing Iniesta next summer as he won't sign a new contract with the role I'm offering him. I'll probably bring in Thiago Alcantara as a replacement. As for Paulinho's replacement, I'll bring in Carles Aleñá from Barça B and loan him out for a couple of seasons. Carles Aleñá is a Barcelona youth product and both Sanabria and Thiago spent time in the youth teams originally so that is one of the reasons for buying them, or rather "bringing them back". Likewise, I got rid of Digne and signed Grimaldo.

The club didn't want to go ahead with the game, but La Liga and Las Palmas did. In the end, the game HAD to go ahead or Las Palmas would have been given the 3-0 win. Get over it. You just wish it didn't happen so that Barcelona lost 3 points and your bottle job of a team would have a chance of clawing their way back into the race. It must be embarrassing at the moment for Real Madrid to have one of their so called strongest sides ever, yet be 7 points behind a "team in crisis who are heavily relying on one player".

I hope he was there to encourage Messi into getting this new contract signed ASAP. If it wasn't for injuries then Puyol could have just been retiring around now, or last season. Unfortunately injuries took their toll and he had to retire earlier than he wanted to. Either way, he managed to have a long career and one of the most successful for any defender(both for club and country) in the modern era. A warrior who always gave 100% and a true professional, who didn't care about the fame side of football or the media attention you gain from it. You don't get many players like that anymore.

The only thing with Big L is that he died too young or he wouldn't have been touched. Biggie and Nas' were both influenced a lot from Kool G Rap if you listen carefully to his original material. Both(Biggie and Nas) were among the best though and anybody putting them in top 2 wouldn't be incorrect, but Kool G Rap's influence was massive on Hip Hop for me. Raekwon and others in Wu-tang are ones I rate highly in these discussion as well as they took hip hop to the next step and brought something very different, but I was always big(and still am) on the east coast hip hop scene full stop, Wu-tang, Mobb Deep, Nas, Biggie.... Big L was original as well. It's MCs like him who made rap battling what it is in many ways as he was always spitting those battle type rhymes and rinsing people on street corners growing up with his punch-lines and multi-syllables. Before that Rap battling was different, it was less about dissing your opponent and more about simply showcasing your lyrics(Lord Finesse and Percee P for example), then Big L came with this new style. I was going to mention Treach mate. He's massively underrated when it comes to these type of discussions and Big Daddy Kane as well. Big Pun was brilliantly as well and people underrate Redman and Prodigy from Mobb Deep.

That beat. Where is it from? It's off something(probably a Wu-tang killa bees song) but I can't think what. It's brilliant either way. Black thought goes in. For me Kool G Rap and Rakim are the GOATs. They aren't necessarily my favourites, but they set the tone in making Hip Hop what it is and truly taking it to that next level. But It's difficult to say the best ever as there are too many with different styles and back then hip hop was about who could come with the most original styles and lyrics, they were hungry and competing with each other. Kool G Rap and Rakim and the likes of these took it to the next level, then other rappers carried it on to make hip hop what it is. It's hard to say a GOAT and unfair on other great artists for me, but if I had to pick 2/3 it would be those 2(G Rap and Rakim)

He's gona beat him after having 5 bongs and a blunt again.

He's the worst diver in the game by a margin. Some players, such as Busquets have a terrible reputation due to 1 or 2 moments in their younger days, but this man has been at it in nearly every game he's played in for over a decade. He actually made diving more popular than it's ever been in the sport, as despite it always being part of the game, it's the past decade or so when it's been taken to another level and he was one of those who took it to this level. He was obviously much worse in his younger days, but it'll never completely disappear from his game and he'll never grow up in this respect.

Yeah I'm actually going Carp fishing in 25 minutes mate until tomorrow afternoon for a good 24 hour session. I might as well make the most of it before it gets too cold.

Bootcut jeans Where have you been for the past 10 months? Retrasado mental!

Nelson Semedo is the best right back in the world.

Personally I wouldn't bother with Countinho now(especially not for his ridiculously overpriced fee) as there is no need for desperation anymore, there would be loads of time next summer to address whatever problems. Not to mention, who needs him?

He's dropped a level.

You can only see when it comes to Barcelona, but so far so good. Sevilla won't challenge and will drop off as they do, as they don't have the real quality and depth to go all the way like the top 3, but I don't see why they can't put up a fight for European spots.
