You can't measure temperature in dollars.

 

Should be even hotter when I go in 6 weeks. Can't wait

Where else in the states you been?

 

It's not hot in the Villa!

 

Stop cheating by looking at my twitter page.

 

Was that her say on the side of the hot tub then?

 

That was my mate pre Mrs. That picture played a big part in landing her.

 

Mate as in a sexual way?

 

May as well do if your going to use fahrenheight

 

Celsius is so much easier. 0 is ****ing cold and things start to freeze, below that is ridiculous and above is survivable. 100 water boils, simple.

Fahrenheit is just random numbers.

 

No freezing is 30 degrees, or was it 32? Maybe 35? Somewhere in there.

 

32

 

He's a yank that uses Fahrenheit despite not knowing how to

 

Is this the transfer thread?

Talking of transfers, I'm dropping one now at work but haven't the time to go to the paid thread.

 

Maverick derailer

 

Way to get the joke.

This quote from rodgers seems to put the damper on anyone who has a deent enough name in the world of footy. Kind of makes me think Eriksen might be one of them unfortunately.

 

Gerrez can suck my balls

 

I'm not worried about it really. he says a lot of things.... most of it contradictory depending on his mood or whatever.

you can just as easily read into it that he want's people of a certain work ethic and mentality as if you look at suarez, gerrard or coutinho whey all try to provide leadership to the rest on that score. Of course that then begs the question of how on earth downing is in his team all the time seeing he's not that brave or the guy to ask for the ball when the chips are down unlike the others mentioned.

lets face it messi is all about messi and ronaldo is all about ronaldo... we know this but guys like alonso, xavi and iniesta to mentio but a few understand the team ethic and make it work. There's nothing to imply an eriksson can't work that way too.

I don't think its about names so much as wages anyway... I think he means guys who won't try a leg for the team to track back etc or press are not needed.

 

I read that as "we don't want primadonnas, we want players that are willing to work hard for the team". That doesn't mean we won't go for a top name if the opportunity should arise, it means we will only go for them if they are also prepared to run through a brick wall!

 

I guess the way I look at it is the likes of Llorente, Damiao, Coentrao, etc we won't go after. Those who are in that tier right below the world class players.

 

I want a players first quality to always be effort, talent comes next. If a player is not willing to work hard they can do one as far as I am concerned. Perhaps why I supported the likes of Kuyt, Lucas and Henderson whilst they took stick of many fans!
