It was amazing in 3D so I recommend that.

mrscrapbag May 22 2015, 11:24:31 UTC

i watched it in 2D, but people say it suits the 3D format as well so maybe you should try that.

I'll do the tags :)

God, Giroud and Debuchy really are inseparable.

Arteta is still alive?!

Lol, yes. He's using his time off the pitch well; he's started working on his coaching badges and has overseen training in the academy.

Also, OT but I have to rant. I can't step outside. It's so hot. Google tells me that it's 39°C, Yahoo tells me that the 'feels like temperature' is 49°C. This is what I get for celebrating rains in May.

thank you! jazzypom May 22 2015, 07:53:54 UTC

I'll be on the road for the rest of the day (only on my phone) so you've saved me a job.

Arteta doing coaching, eh? Madness.

mrscrapbag May 22 2015, 11:26:00 UTC

sis i feel you. the other day it was recorded to be 41°C i felt like i was melting...

Probably Real Madrid doesn't need a loveable coach jazzypom May 22 2015, 09:01:56 UTC

The good thing with Rafa is that he isn't swayed by fan opinion for good or ill, and he'd be great for the Real Madrid academy set up (he worked at Real Madrid before, I think, he was their B coach). He knows Europe and Europa cups and isn't above getting everyone to defend and sit in for a draw. But he'd be rather like Mourinho in that he'll drop players, stars or no, and isn't above telling a player if he isn't good enough. Besides, I think Real Madrid wanted him circa 2009, so they were going to get him sooner or later. Besides, unlike Ancelotti, he'll rotate. :D

Well players going to Qatar is all about the project not about the money, obviously.

Well, if it worked for Pep Guardiola...

RE: Probably Real Madrid doesn't need a loveable coach marsyke May 22 2015, 11:35:39 UTC

That's true but the inner workings of Real Madrid don't really suit a coach who wants to do his own thing. Mourinho couldn't and I don't think Benitez can do it either unless he wants to exact same things as Flo. I mean Ancelotti won La Decima and he barely got any freedom, they sold one of his key players.

annoyanni May 22 2015, 09:12:23 UTC

Lmao I just read that Barcelona want Ramsey. No fucking way.

mrscrapbag May 22 2015, 11:27:06 UTC

over my dead body, barca!

the4thjuliek May 22 2015, 15:41:30 UTC

Lol, they should just fuck off with these stupid rumors.

Besides, if history is an indication of anything, Hector seems more likely to go (back) to that hellhole.

The Sterling saga is exhausting jesscp May 22 2015, 09:52:52 UTC

seriously, does Sterling not realise all of this drama is making him a liability for prospective clubs?! Idk, I certainly wouldn't want to take him on if he and his agent are this prone to throwing their toys out of the pram. Considering Sterling IMO hasn't been that impressive at all this season, he's got a hell of a lot of damage control to do now ( ... )

RE: The Sterling saga is exhausting marsyke May 22 2015, 10:24:57 UTC

If they can get some decent money on him, they might as well do. But he's definitely going now. Their actions don't make him trustworthy at all. I mean what are they trying to achieve? He was nowhere near the level that would have warranted this kind of behaviour. He was nowhere to be seen in the World Cup or Liverpool's CL ties and his competition form wasn't the greatest either.
At a top club, he'll be scrutinised, just ask Bale.

RE: The Sterling saga is exhausting jesscp May 22 2015, 10:49:30 UTC

Agreed! I hope Liverpool do get good money, but Sterling has shot himself in the foot big time here. Any future clubs will be wary of this happening again if he isn't happy.

In his head and his agents head, it's like we are talking about a player with the talent of Messi. Sorry but Sterling is no where near that level and if his ego carries on, he won't ever reach that level. This saga stinks of someone who maybe isn't the brightest person and is surrounded by people who say they will do the best by him, but you can sense the ulterior motives here.

RE: The Sterling saga is exhausting jazzypom May 22 2015, 10:35:55 UTC

Tell me about it. To be fair to Sterling, LFC hasn't covered itself in glory either, and as long as LFC has Brendan Rodgers (who seems to have hit his peak or needs time at a lower level club to work his kinks out, as well as other things) top players won't come, but oooh, Sterling and his agent could have handled it a lot better. If Sterling had said (putting off the contract signing) that he wouldn't sign until LFC reached top four and get CL football (like Schneiderlin bangs on about his tenure with the Saints, and him telling everyone he wants to move to CL), most people would understand. LFC is used to it being a stepping stone; a team stage in a well known league for someone to swoop down for you. Or if Sterling had said that he wanted to move back to London, because he missed it, again, no harm, no foul. But his agent hasn't done himself or his client any favours ( ... )
