@Kunty McPhuck Cycling season is here breh you can't abandon the mandem :to:

@Liu Kang who wins the Giro :lupe:
@mastermind should really look if there's some RIP messages on Kunty's facebook. It's sarting to be weird.


And I don't watch the Giro unfortunately. But out of all the big names, I'd chose :



Had a great first Tour, is build for mountain stages and has greatly improved on time-trial.

Honestly? If I was Movistar I'd throw the Giro in the bushes. Sky are looking weak as fukk right now and cancelled the Porte effort to focus on getting Frrome another tour. If Movistar went into the tour with a fresh Nairo as the leader and Valverde as his mans I'd have him as the favorite to win. But he's definitely not winning the Tour with a gt on his legs.

Didn't Arsenal meet the release close and Liverpool just refused ?
Yeah, but i can't blame them for 3 reasons

1. Contracts mean fucc all in football

2. We offered £2 over the clause which still boggles the mind :mindblown: and was a total pisstek

3. Bale did go for £80 milli, so why would you sell suarez for £40 million? It just wouldn't many sense looking at it from a fee to player skill ratio comparitively

Initially he looked like a very good all-round midfielder. He could pass, tackle, score, press and link play well if not brilliantly. Even though he was built up as some fancy-dan Brazilian #10 he's really nothing like that, he's more of an #8 in the 4-3-3 system.

However the wheels fell the fukk off this calendar year. He struggles to even control the ball at times let alone do anything else. He says he's been carrying a hip injury so there's that I suppose. When he's on form he's a very good player but when he's off he is completely off, no redeeming qualities at all which is ridiculous really.


Mourinho sent Mata packing because he had faith that Oscar is an better 10 for the team. Let's hope he's right

NT's just been called up by Felipao

GKs - Júlio César, Jefferson, Victor.

DEF - Dante, David Luiz, Thiago Silva, Henrique, Dani Alves, Maicon, Marcelo, Maxwell

MF - Fernandinho, Hernanes, Luiz Gustavo, Oscar, Paulinho, Ramires, Willian, Bernard.

STRIKERS - Fred, Hulk, Jo, Neymar

So disappointing to not see CL Finalists Miranda and Filipe Luiz in the squad, as well as Cruzeiro players Dede and keeper Fabio. Julio Cesar has done nothing playing in the mickey mouse league and hes probably gonna be a starter. I would've liked to see Lucas Moura in there at least coming on as a super sub...although i am glad to not to see Kaka, Ronaldinho and Robinho on the list


Is it just me of does anybody else think Hulk is overrated?

Coutinho is a fraud. What has he really done?

Set up a few goals against Norwich and scored off a Kompany fukk-up.

Oscar's first half of the season > Coutinho's season as a whole:mjpls:
:stopitslime: early season form counts for fucc all tbh...as of today, who would you give the ticket to out of the two? :mjpls:

Valverde isn't a great teammate from what I saw in the lasts races. It was clear as day when he fukked up Purito's chances in the World Championship last year. Dude seems to think he still have a legit chance to win a big tour and absolutely wants one W because he's already past his prime. Therefore he's reluctant to help his teammates when their chances are higher. Quintana has a huge potential and I agree that he could def win this tour if he's #1 (though Froome and Sky are still favourite) but I kinda like Nairo's approach by trying himself as #1 at the lowest of the big 3 before trying it in the Tour or in the Vuelta.

Willian and Fernandinho:clap: both deserve to go. Should be guaranteed starters really.
Not entirely sure what the point of Paulinho is tbh:ld:what does he actually do?

Oscar better perform. He's pretty much taken the second half of the season off:pacspit:

:yeshrug: he's waaaaaay better fot the NT than Spurs. The amount of trust Felipao places in him ensures that he's vital to the team.

For Brazil's sake he better be.

Fair play to Scolari if he's staying loyal to his guys that won the Confed Cup. :tu:
