"They [the women] may later use these photos for political ransom against our country or sue the players for harassment.
I'm sorry but what?

Arsenal defended really well, they had a lot of promising counter attacks too. Coqueling did really well and Santi was great. Man City was disappointing, there was the defense but their attack offered nothing, zero, nada.
They did have a SAF lookalike

LOL at Napoli's fit jazzypom January 19 2015, 10:29:24 UTC

The brand designer say that they are inspired by fashion trends but - come on, there's surely something to be said about keeping it simple and clean?

RE: LOL at Napoli's fit marsyke January 19 2015, 10:32:15 UTC

which trends? and what fashion?

Re: RE: LOL at Napoli's fit jazzypom January 19 2015, 10:35:53 UTC

Same fashion and trends that gave them this kit a couple of seasons ago

BALE TAKE THE DAMN HAIRBAND OFF jesscp January 19 2015, 10:46:18 UTC

WHY HASNT MRS BALE BURNED THE HAIRBAND YET? IT IS TRULY AWFUL. Can someone give him a haircut, I can't bear looking at Bale photos now for fear of the HAIRBAND! Ugh. Rant over ( ... )

Re: BALE TAKE THE DAMN HAIRBAND OFF jazzypom January 19 2015, 11:01:38 UTC

I hear that Bale might be thinning on top, so that's why he keeps the hair band? I do try and get photos of him from the back- it's best for all involved.

LOL, Gerrard will go soon enough. I can always drop the Gerrard links (I already do try and keep them to a minimum) if there's enough pushback against their inclusion? The posts are supposed to be enjoyable, a bit of trivia and and a giggle if you're doing elevenses or a lunch break at the park or something, with the odd long article when you're on that trainride home (I do the posts as to how I'd like to see 'em done).

It's just that there's an FA cup semi this week, I think, so it's behooves them to keep the narrative going.

Arsenal must have realised that they need to get to the top four to play Champions League next season. :P

Yeah, Giroud's red card break was pretty restorative, no?

Hah, yeah, I'll be pouring libations to Dortmund and LFC, trust me. Bloody hell, can't our teams get a break or nah?

RE: Re: BALE TAKE THE DAMN HAIRBAND OFF jesscp January 19 2015, 11:14:10 UTC

He's probably thinning on top because of the constant headband use! Its just like putting a lot of heat on your hair, if you keep doing that it will damage the hair and same with hairbands pulling on the scalp too. i remember when Bale was on the Sky adverts and he said something about always making the right choices (can't remember his exact words) and every time I would see the ad, I would shout to the TV 'the hairband wasn't your best choice ( ... )

Re: Re: BALE TAKE THE DAMN HAIRBAND OFF jazzypom January 19 2015, 11:29:15 UTC

LOL, it's so weird. It's not as if Gerrard is David Beckham (who really courted the whole press attention with his wife), and even Alex Gerrard who used to be so hype and uberwag has calmed the hell down over the years, like, her role is supporting wife and mother and she doesn't seem to chaff at it like she used to. For Gerrard's sake, when he's at Galaxy I hope he ignores LFC and does his own thing for years though. I think once he gets the sun and realises that he can walk about without being Steven Gerrard LFC captain, just Gerrard squad player, that's going to knock that idea of him coming back 'on loan' to LFC on its head. Ian Ayre takes the piss, that one ( ... )

Jenko is an Arsenal man! Currently on loan at West Ham. And that one Barca player is Marc Bartra, very handsome.

Santi was a beast! That one moment when he ran through 5 City players before finally falling down was just top class. I'm on my phone so I'll link it when I get home. But Arsenal were excellent and Le Coq and bb Hector were fab! They've molded into the squad so well.

So Santi fell down for that penalty? jazzypom January 19 2015, 11:03:15 UTC

How... Spanish.

Ah, yes, Marc Barta! I just forget his name this morning. It's too early to be remembering things. I turned on my Spanish app and did rubbish, tbh.

How's Ospina doing? Will he be Arsenal's no. 1?

RE: So Santi fell down for that penalty? the4thjuliek January 19 2015, 11:47:14 UTC

No, that was Monreal and Kompany fouled him. Santi didn't do anything really. He was very well behaved. If you watch that moment, you'll see what I'm talking about.

He made some excellent saves yesterday. Overall, he communicated well with the defense and was throws and passes were accurate. It will not be an easy comeback for Chezza.

No news on whether he'll be #1 but he'll be playing the FA Cup match this weekend.

If it weren't for the stereotype that exists around football in England, I'd rock a football jersey.
What do you mean?

I keep looking at Ramos' new tattoo and I can't make out what it's supposed to be? Man, footballers and their tattoos ...

Well.... jazzypom January 19 2015, 12:04:36 UTC

It's seen as rather chavy, and in a lot of ways, as much as England has stomped down on the football hooliganism (that was one of the main reasons why we were banned from European competitions for a while, that and the stadia deaths with Juventus and LFC fans), football is still seen as a working class sport (although the ticket prices haven't reflected that in years). So it's one thing to wear a football jersey to a match, but to wear it out and about? It's cute when you're five or six, but as an adult ? Nah ( ... )

RE: Well.... mundodeamor January 19 2015, 12:17:41 UTC

Ah, that. I thought you were perhaps referring to wearing a jersey of a non-English club. I guess that's common in most places, I don't see many adults were football jerseys here either, only in the gym or so, it's more usual for kids. I sometimes wear it when I do sports, though! xD

Re: RE: Well.... jazzypom January 19 2015, 12:23:38 UTC

I've seen Dortmund jerseys when I've gone on walks - I think the parents like the yellow and black so if their sprog wanders off, they have a visual check. It's pretty high vis.

When I vacationed in Malagá I saw a lot of people rocking Chelsea shirts? Granted the kit is pretty sweet this year, but in a bar? But yeah, I'd get a long sleeved jersey (which seems to be for the players only though), and have it when walking/rambling - they look as if they can wick the sweat away while keeping you warm at the same time.

It's just football jerseys in general over here? I do know that for the ladies, the football clubs do try and have a stylish alternative - like Spurs with their cabled ladies jumpers with the Spurs logo to the right.
