I really just wanted an excuse to use this icon and think about the finger waggle.

Ugh, I have four more pages to write, one for each hour I have left. Clearly it's time for drastic procrastination.

So! PT this week, on the defense, and Daggerboy in particular:

While the midfield and strikers worked their socks off, covering every blade of grass in a manner reminiscent of the visiting Valencia side of 2002, it was the defence

IS THAT DAVID VILLA LOOKING LIKE HE COULD BECOME ENGAGED IN SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH FERNANDO MORIENTES errr I mean.

[of_doom]

I seriously hate you all.

[canarycreams]

aww, but we ♥ you.

[niche]

i...lol. (ps, YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.)

i love it whenever you mention canizares' compression shorts, em. i think having seen the outline of oliver kahn's scrotal sac was probably as bad as it gets; compression shorts, however, threaten worse.

also, y to dagger being the next heart of defence. though carra will always, always, be my mumma ho.

[of_doom]

Um, LAMBIE, you are the only one who can type something like "mumma ho" and instead of me laughing mercilessly at you, I just want to go around yelling it at people.

[niche]

♥ & FER REALS. :(((( he is a mumma ho of such magnitude that i cannot decide if i really want xabi's, finnan's, agger's or carra's name on the back of the shirt i will soon purchase.

(and ps, re: tomkins' article, what is a penalty-corner? :0)

[of_doom]

I have no idea what the penalty-corner is referring to, embarrassingly enough. :| I may have to look this game up. *fails at life*

re: shirt, I was going to get Carra, but they were out of the mini-threes. and then I just caved, and I'm not proud of it, but:

[niche]

google gave me a bunch of links to ...hockey? is it a penalty taken from a corner? which technically wouldn't be a penalty at all, would it.

also, i don't know how i managed to type all that seeing as how i was just about actually screaming irl wrt the agger shirt. oh em. :-* if i get a carra one and i meet you, we'd make up the rock solid central defense system just walking down a sidewalk. (that is like kel telling me she saw people wearing gerrard and alonso like a midfield duo!) just. aldjhfaljhs. our home shirt is so much love.

[of_doom]

I think he was trying to be clever, which means we should probably find out all the details about that particular game. Oh, PT. :x

Haha, and the best thing is, we might actually get the chance to do that because you're brilliant.

Penalty-corner explanation: "The referee appeared to give Roma a penalty for a handling offence, even seeming to point to the spot yet then awarded a corner, much to Roma's disgust which lead to a raft of bookings." Ok then.

[niche]

thanks so much :)

[canarycreams]

ow my brain ;__________________; Oliver Kahn's scrotal sac was not something I ever needed to see. Full stop.

[of_doom]

although, I don't think anyone can deny that it takes a large set of balls to wear a jumper like that. *hides*

[canarycreams]

*does not deign to reply, okay.*

I want to create a league of batshit insane superhero goalkeepers.
