[Herr Matzat]

i got this guy and think he´s realy good. wen i let the computer put players on the field (i sometimes do that to see how it is different from what i am doing) he preferes to put other players on that have significantly worse states (IMO)... why might that be?

[NobBe Nobbs]

England 1-2 Italy (Final) Italy's second goal came in the 81st minute when Toni was clearly offside. I was asked to comment on the 'controversial' goal after the game, said he was offside, and the FA were suspiciously silent about the whole thing. So yeah, I was screwed.

Anyone that says English is the easiest language to learn has obviously grown up in an English-speaking nation.

English is one of the most impossibly complicated and fucked up languages ever Learning it as a second language would be ten times worse than us learning, say, French or German - the latter of which especially is a piece of piss.

Take Matzat for example. He's been trying to learn it for like, five years plus now...

It just so happens that we used to be better at sailing and killing people (and both at once) than the other countries. So there are lot more English-speaking countries in the world ¬_¬

French is a hell of a mouthful compared to English, but it's far more logical. English has fuck all logic in it anywhere

Whoever created english obviously took too seriously that rules are meant to be broken. So many exceptions to it...I come before E after C except in Science. WTF?!? What makes science so special that it can break a rule just because? It's madness.

I'm starting to feel that the Villareal chairman is too cheap to give me a transfer budget worthy of the team's status. Just $6 million to fix the shit they call defense and get a decent forward to replace Thomasson when his loan's over? Beside the fact that they have absolutely NO prospects apart from Matias Fernandez(Wonderkid that will own Riquelme soon). At least I'll probably be able to sell Riquelme once his loan to Boca is over.

I feel like starting with another crappy team now.

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

Yes, but it's after a 'c' in 'science'.

[estebanmon]

It was backwards then. It's still a rule that makes no sense.

It's not even supposed to be a rule, really. It's more an annecdote that someone, having only looked at a few English words, 'noticed' once and thought "that makes a catchy rhyme". Luckily English didn't pick up ALL the shit from other languages when they were all amalgamated into it. I mean, nouns with genders, what's the fucking point?

Also, Jamie Carragher is a cock who seems to have developed a fondness for dropkicking Swiss players in the kidneys.

[TheBoss]

Yeah, and I'm being perfectly honest when I say that you're the first person I've ever met who has that opinion.

Why do clubs continue to apply for loans when they've already reached the limit? It's extremely annoying to lose out on loans to a club only for it to be cancelled because they've already got 4 short term loans.

I hate when foreigners don't get work permits.

WHY THE FUCK NOT?! :@

[TheBoss]

Oh, I got a question regarding this whole work permit stuff.

In my Chelsea game some guys just don't get work permits, but I can sign them anyway to send them on loans to an European club, that way they can get permission to play in my team [it is Westerlo for me, Belgian League].

The question is: How long does it take before they get a work permit, playing all the time on loan?

Does anybody know?

[IAceI]

In Belgium, 2 years I believe. Belgian feeder clubs are the quickest to gain citizenship, after 2 years they'll gain EU Citizenship and won't need the work permit. Polish clubs are 3 years, I know that since I had one offered the other day, unsure about others but I think Spain might be 5 years.
