hey, they didn't lose! and conte might stay for the rest of the season. there was this strange article in the guardian that said he should go home to italy before all his friends there die, which read like he dropped some hints to the journalists, so he'll be gone after the season. we disagree tüche...

let us know when you change your mind :-) yes, conte is not responsible for lloris' own goals and you're better on tactics than me, but what we've strongly felt for some time (and what the guardian also writes about today) is that it's no help having a manager who always maybe wants to leave. (that'...

(actually i never minded the yuppie in naked at all, a) because i was in the first class dominated by the kind and as sombody who identified as a hippiesk post-punk jazzhead developed a proper hatred of them, and b) i thought he was an early british answer to american psycho the book, and as such wo...

can spurs please go for tüchel now before he takes over another worn-down klopp team? spurs so very obviously need a tactics geek, the lack of energy might seem befuddling with conte on the sidelines but really it's because nobody knows what to do. and miracle of last season my ass, what's that to d...

John Scofield: Solo, ECM … i’m playing more guitar again, the electric is all pedaled and amped up beside my desk always. so sco, the greatest living jazz and all-time dad rock guitarist has to come along and show me what i’d be trying to do if i had any sort of chops (this is not the first time eit...

anyone know a truly realistic depiction of the Middle Ages in film? lancelot du lac, of course. happy new year! over the holidays, we saw: https://i.guim.co.uk/img/static/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2014/10/30/1414686837418/Mr-Turner-scene-from-film-012.jpg?width=700&quality=85&auto=format&fit...

you guys are amazing! i remember nothing

well deserved ... why didn't the french just play on in extra time ... great in-game management from deschamp, but at the cost of good penalty takers left on the field ... unfortunately one can't argue with the result. stupid world cup

so far exactly like expected, first an attempt to take lloris out (by his own spurs mate), then an utterly stupid penalty (di maria already falling before being clipped at the heels) ... if france continue that naively, the have no chance

so. i went with messi before the tournament and i still fear argentina will win, but by now i really hate him/them and am rooting very much for the french. probably the latters' chances are best if they continue to apparently take things less seriously than they should. with any level of nerves, jud...

you lot strangely lack an edge ...

ahaha that's incredible



(for those who can see the embed. for those who can't, it's the harry kane penalty vid.)

so great from morocco. another set of mentality monsters, though of a very different mentality. it just seems highly unlikely they can keep this up with their injury list. england i think were overhyped by the commentators still during the game. yes, lloris made a couple of great saves, but they did...

oh i'll root for croatia ... i don't mind a little shithousery, but argentina were really hateful ... so i'll prepare for a battle of the attitudes

ahaha, i spoke too soon. "Pep" Gvardiol the player of the tournament (at least on the defensive side) for me. Will be the best CB in the world in a year or two. What a player. he wasn't that remarkably good with rats when i saw him, though the talent is clear ... i think he partly even plays leftbac...

to the neutral, argentina vs croatia will be tough watching

congrats! xcept for the goal awful finishing from brazil, they didn't dare enjoy themselves

boring results. only portugal switzerland looks hard to predict.

[it was called out on the field but var overturned it and let the goal stand. yeah any part of the ball still touching the air-line is enough, but there was no official photo/computer diagram/whatever so they probably went with in-ball sensors or some such nonsense that shouldn't allow for millimetr...

so so funny about germany going out ... especially if the winning japan goal indeed was some var goof-up
