Conversely, a player with Nagbe's touch could change where the ball is rolling at the last second (you can see him going to get around him as if that was his intended movement). You see it all the time with how people tackle Messi/Iniesta, etc.

 

Memories of singing this over and over in multiple languages in Spain circa summer '10 washing over me. This is nice.

 

Jordan Speith is the Arsenal of golf tho.

 

This is the point I'm trying to make. De Jong hasn't learned his lesson after all of these horror tackles and it certainly doesn't look like he's going to put in the effort to learn why this shit is wrong. If he can't keep his emotions in check, he needs to fucking go. He's not playing the ball in that situation at all and I can't see how one can make the argument that he was.

 

Idk, it goes unnoticed and there's no way to quantify it, but players hold back from challenges all the time. If you've ever played, you know it happens. You know you're not gonna get there, so you don't commit. (Unless your intent is to foul)

 

In the photo I posted, it looks like he's staring at Nagbe's ankle, not the ball..

 

The point with that tackle (whether he's gone for the ball or whether his foot has accidentally gone over the top of the ball), is that he has his studs showing before he's even got his foot to the ball or the man. If you go in like that, you're massively likely to injure someone. He's always been like this. His tackling style always seems to be to get the ball and damage the man.

It's the same with his slide tackles. He seems to make sure that he scissors or catches players with his trailing leg. I don't think it's even an emotional response. I think he's just an animal.

 

He's won things though.

 

Like us the last two years in a row then? ;)

 

Hey I got a favor of someone in here with photoshop skills.

Can someone take this badge and just make it like a picture in stead of fabric?

Like same exact thing just a nice pic, I guess you'll have to make it but in my mind that would take like 5 mins I just have no artistic ability.

It's for a team I play for, and I might end up getting custom kits for us with it on it.

 

Following in my footsteps
Mediawatch didn’t think that even Tim Sherwood would have the nerve to take credit for Tottenham’s wonderful season. We were wrong.

“I gave a lot of those players their debuts so he has been able to see them first hand in the Premier League, and see that they can do the job,” Sherwood told BBC Sport in an extended PR campaign interview.

Funny you should say that, Tim. Because by “a lot of those players” you mean ‘Nabil Bentaleb’.

Yes, Bentaleb is the only current Tottenham player given their first-team debut by Sherwood; he’s played 168 minutes of Premier League football this season.

Never change, Tim.

I bloody love Tim

 

Tim just seems like he's that one mate everyone has that's always blagging it into places with little to no knowledge or experience.

 

I would totally do this if my laptop hadn't broke about 10 days ago haha

 

Ah unlucky. Hopefully someone can do this, how long would that have taken you? I know it's annoying when people ask for free but with the correct software I feel even I could do it in like 20 mins. I just don't have it.

 

That's the best I can find online.

 

Hope PSG win tonight. Would quite like to see Madrid go out too.

 

Come on Wolfsburg, let's do this.

 

Come on City!

 

Oh wow. Just turned on the Real Madrid/Wolfsburg game and saw the score.

 

PK!!! Close to a red there.

Edit: Wow he missed.

 

Oh my, Kun

 

Wolfsburg 2-0 down and now Draxler injured, great start...

 

PSG have been utterly awful in every way.
