I was at the optometrist today, trying on glasses, and there was a huge D&G display. Is it bad that it reminded me of this comm?

LOLOLOL Definitely not! I think it's a huge compliment, to both the comm and your optometrist.

2. I'm sort of proud of him for not being all "NO! I WAS WEARING BRIEFS!" -- he just let it go and didn't worry about it, and now the truth has come out. Good work, Adi!
3. I am totally not kidding about that being the way I find him now. Do you think he'd believe us if we told him that he's going to look back on this time with shame, and needs to correct the situation?
5. I always tell Abby that I think of her when I find pictures of confuzzled looking Phil, and that since that describes EVERY PICTURE OF HIM, I think of her a lot.
6. It's a funny nose, I knew it'd leave you cold. *goes to look for pictures of his hands*
7. Hee. How could I resist his giant face?

2. Oh he totally knew -- I've seen it at a bunch of different newsie Romanian websites, and it's turned up in Italy now, too, there's no way he didn't know.
3. *shakes head affectionately* THE FOOL!
6. *dies laughing* You know, when I reread it, it does sound just a little crazy ...
7. I bet he'd love it, the way he sort of struts around with his chest sticking out?

The first time I heard the commentator sayContra's name, I burst out laughing. The guy has the coolest name among all. And Mutu was bored, yo.

I need a Rosetti icon.

HA! It's a video game? Good god, the poor man.

Contra used to be @ Milan. Did you know that? I had no idea! Apparently he had a huge kerfuffle with Davids during a match with Juve, which is part of the reason he left (though he now says it was his biggest mistake). Do you have any idea what that was? I checked YouTube but came up empty.

Oooooh that's a great idea. With his bright yellow ref kit, glowering?

Are you kidding? Some men (yes, men) would kill to be named Contra. It has been officially named the hardest video game out there-I'm sure HE knows, and is cracking up about it everyday.

No, I had no idea. And I don't know anything about the incident, but would it be fair to blame Davids over it? I'm sure he started it.

Family nicknamed him Mr. Bangs, or Guy With The Bangs. They were very disappointed when he showed up in the opening game with short, wet hair. We sort of like him, really.

I know NOTHING about video games -- are you telling me this is something he'd be proud of, rather that exasperated that he was born with this cross to bear?

*nods* Yes, I like that. Totally Davids' fault.

I sort of like him, too. He's so officious, but then he gives those huge grins to the ones who complain, and I get totally disarmed.

Chivu = puppy, remember? The lack of tongue-control makes perfect sense.

I was kind of skeptical at first that Mutu would let everything hang out, given how family-friendly he's become. And I've been proven half-right, and I'm totally okay with the half-wrong part. But dude, that tattoo on his right calf? Looks a little bit like a toy soldier, or something equally dorktastic.

Don't MOCK THIERRY. He can still be awesome. He's just missing the lack of short babies to mother (aka half of Arsenal, Bojan Krkic). All those French youngsters, no matter how cute they look, are about 105 in cynicism, seriously.

*smacks forehead* Of course! My expectations were so off.

The grin is so much better now, and I sort of love that his little "fuck you, tabloids" trick totally got turned back on him. (I know, I know. I was hopingt that by not mentioning it I'd keep people from noticing. *sigh* It sort of looked like a heart with a knife through it to me, AKA the second-most clichéd tattoo, behind "MOM.")

I'm not mocking Titi, I promise! Really, I'm mostly mocking myself to paying attention only to Captain Paddy. I am, however, oddly proud of him for hanging out with the kids -- he's totally confusing my assumption that he's a grumpy bastard. (Is Nasri cynical? That makes me feel better, b/c in every training picture he looks like someone's kid brother, sort of hanging back and hoping they ask him to play.)

Honestly, Adi. You are not a scheming bastard like CRon and so you suck at media manipulation. Stop trying. (At least that's not unintentionally(?) ironic like the sun on Vieri:P)

Nasri actually seems well-adjusted. But he's been in Ligue 1 for long enough, he has to have seen far too much shit to really be as innocent as he looks. Aren't you into Nice now? Have you not noticed the fucked-up-ness of Ligue 1 politicking?. Plus I understand Marseille kind of is like the Detroit of France, all ghetto-tough and slangy.

ETA: Oh, and I forgot to mention. The Mellberg picture. IS SEXY. The little grin lurking at one corner of his mouth, the slightly inclined head, the waves of Viking testosterone. Um. Yeah.

I find it a bit reassuring that he's such a failure at scheming, actually -- maybe he's less intense and calculating than I think.

I am into Nice but my sense of Ligue 1 as a whole is still pretty stunted. Apart from the fact that everyone good goes to Lyon, they're all on the national team, and apparently the Nice president is a disaster, I don't know much -- can you give me an example or four of the fuckedupness?

[Oh god, I totally agree. He's incredible, though I'm not sure even the presence Mellberg is enough to convince me to watch Juve, esp with Nedved still there.)

Samir does look 12 in that pic. And woohoo! Thierry is back in training.

Mutu is not emo anymore. :D But I am disappointed that he was, a bit decent in that balcony pics

In 90% of the training pictures, Nasri looks like somebody's kid brother, lurking around hoping they're ask him to play. It's really adorable, though I bet it drives him NUTS to look like such a baby.

LOL I know, it's such a bummer to know there wasn't even the slightest scandal.
