1. I think that belly tat is new and I do not approve. Ick. Subtlety is a virtue and this positively screams "look at my dick, yo." No imagination involved, no seduction, just.... ew.
2. And further as regards the nekkid, Pasquale actually looks like a professional athlete. But Santana? Well...... AND WHY IS HE WEARING SOCKS WITH HIS FLIP FLOPS? *shakes head ruefully*
3. Two things about the new guy: First, I see his bits know how to perform properly in Viola pants. Second, I hope you see his Friday Rage List on Dirty Tackle, and I hope it continues.
4. Scrolling...scrolling... LDS without sleeves.... other new guy that should be wth Juve except for the suits and their fuckitude, looking better with more hair......Gambit's armpit hair, DNW..........crotch everywhere...LDS belly..... MARCO! Now we're talking. *adores*
5. CZ LIVES! At least we know he starts the pre-season in an ambulatory condition. And what's with Donadel? I thought I read somewhere that he was already gone.
6. JMV again. With clothing. OK, this is better. Just keep that tat covered and we'll be fine.
7. Jojo: please shave. ugh
8. I. Am. So. Over. Mutu.
9. LOL Gambit. Does he think anything is fun?

1. Is definitely new, am ashamed to say I don't mind it so much, since it's JMV. Would, however, like it much more if it said "THUG LIFE." Obv. (I hope at least he got his wife's approval, and didn't come home one day like "SURPRISE HONEY!")
2. &hearts He needs FC Dirtybunny more and more each day.
3. I know the lists exist, but don't know that I've ever actually read one. If they continue, I will definitely do so!
4. lol "Crotches everywhere" -- if that's not a common refrain for a Fiorentina fan, I don't know what is. Well, that and "No, Adrian, don't take that."
5. I think Donadel's the new Dainelli -- every transfer window, he's leaving, but then he never goes. If he's really is Dainelli, he might go at this time next season.
8. PREACH IT SISTER.
9. HA! Surely there's something, we just haven't discovered what it is yet.

And didja see who got back today? \o/

1. You are so much more forgiving than I am.
9. If you want to tell everyone that football is fun, Gambit with that expression on his face is not going to sell it.

I DID! Finally! \o/

[bustedflush]

1. I wish I could be tougher! There are just people whose wrongs don't bother me. (See: OMR.) Adrian Mutu WISHES he was on that list.
9. I cannot believe they're playing in that kit, but am also ashamed of being embarrassed about a positive message. So conflicted, just like Gambit.

But Vince turned up injured? *bangs head on the wall*

[dirtbunnies]

9. Would you prefer "Cancer is bad." "Children Are Our Future." "I Honk for Jesus." *g* Surely there will be a new sponsor soon, right? And then they can go back to old-fashioned advertising.

AGAIN? Oh. Still, not again, like that's better somehow. *joins you in banging* I read one of those rumors that I'm ignoring that went something like Diego Forlan in exchange for Vince +10 million. This is never going to happen, of course, but imagining Vince gone is probably equally as realistic as imagining him healthy.

Looks like Insua is really going to Fiorentina. He's a decent fullback and not a bad addition if they don't pay too much.

[bustedflush]

9. BWHAHAHAHHAHA!! Definitely "Cancer is bad." Or "Jesus is crap at football," one of the two.

Wait, still?? He was hurt in SA? I had no idea. And it was bad enough that he's STILL got another month out? Cripes, he's even more of a trooper than I thought. Good Vince. *pats* And Forlan is coming to Inter, not Juve, jeez. Inter are planning the oldest, most ass-kickingest South American strike force every to take Italy. Or, at least, some bored fans are planning it.

Insula >>> Gobbi/Paqual, y/y? No offense to either Pasqual or the dear departed, of course. Where he hell is he, though? This has been almost done for freaking WEEKS. Did he get lost?

[dirtbunnies]

Yeah, Vince is a trooper is one way to look at it. And he is, bless him. And he really wanted to be there and he tried his crappy best. But another way of looking at it is my concern that Lippi would think "match fitness" is pretty much the same thing as "doesn't need crutches any more" seems to actually have been a real issue. Vince did not recover fully before he returned to the zebra line-up last spring and it showed, so this was a known issue. So coulda shoulda woulda maybe if someone healthy had been chosen instead...... Nah. The suckage was well-nigh universal.

And if by "some bored fans" you mean yourself, I find it hard to believe that you have any time on your hands at all now that Titi is in your town and on your local team. Squeeeeeeeeee! not

Uh oh. I asked Mr. D about Insua and he hemmed and hawed in a most unsatisfying way so I put it to him point blank: He's better than Gobbi/Pasquale, right? And he said "Yes. Probably." And then he reminded me that Reds fans still think the rightful Reds fullback in that spot is left back is Alvaro Arbeloa (he's the one I think is Raul Albiol). Of course, Mr. D couldn't tell you squat about Gobbi or Pasquale, so my take is that he's a reliable regular starter, but not an all-star. Perhaps not as capable of greatness as LDS, but also not nearly as spazzy and out of control (&hearts).

Man, I just remembered that match from last year where Monty passed LDS a beeyootiful ball and LDS blew an absolute sitter and then sank into a child's pose on the pitch while everyone glared at him, and we all thought "Monty will never pass that boy the ball again." How quickly they grow up, huh?

[bustedflush]

I think I'm starting to feel about Vince like I frequently did about Paddy-at-Inter -- if they're out there when they shouldn't be, they're not to blame, and will do the best they can. Hate their stoopid Lippis and their Mancios, but don't hate the dudes who are doing the best the their broke and/or old asses can. *gives out more pats* (Man, I get more and more protective of the aged. I don't think I want to know me when I'm 60.)

lol It's not just me! It comes up periodically in forums and in the papers, but I'm pretty sure it's mostly made up. (Alas, I've not even got time to squee over my big chance to get a #14 RBNY kit, b/c I'm busy getting ready to move! :/ It's all happened rather suddenly, but no Titi for me -- I'll be back in the midwest, coaching kiddies and trying to keep a positive attitude.)

Aw, "as capable of greatness as LDS" is such an optimistic phrase, and so true. If only Comotto come somehow imprint LDS with his nasty guile, the boy would be well on his way -- after that, all he'd need would be a smidge more skill and a dose of finishing, so Monty isn't forced to kill him in his sleep. (I figure Sinisa can teach him pretty much all those things, cos he was nasty, nasty, goal-scoring defender in his time.)

[dirtbunnies]

Oh no! I totally blame the coaches. Vince earned his way off my shit list last season by trying hard every time no matter what. Sometimes I worry about players who get overused and then just can't perform (like Rooney at the end of the year and in S.A.) and I blame the coaches for that too. It's not just the players who suffer and maybe end their careers too soon from being worn out, but the teams suffer, and the fans who love them suffer by being deprived of them before it's time. Paddy's only 34!!!\o/ Vince is gonna get busted and broken once and for all if they don't give him time to heal.

woah. Back to the square states? Which one? Coaching kiddies at what? (Plz God don't let it be optimism. *g*)

I'd like to see LDS achieve his potential, but if he does, I'm going to miss the crazy fuck-ups of his misspent youth. Oh well. We'll always have Mario Alberto. He's beyond the point of growing out of his awkwardness.
