    [ENG] Premier League 2014/2015

    Not really, but I heard some economist-type earlier saying that this deal shouldn't really be compared to the other shirt deals around just now in terms of value because it isn't the same sort of agreement that other clubs have with Nike or adidas at the moment.

    [WC] World Cup 2014 - General Talk Thread

    What I didn't understand was Belgium putting Fellaini high up the pitch, but then not playing to that. They weren't getting crosses in and they weren't prepared to play long balls, so why put Fellaini high up the pitch? All they ended up doing was leaving themselves exposed to...

    [WC] World Cup 2014 - General Talk Thread

    The 7-1 game is also allowing people to keep trying to claim that it was a great World Cup. It was a good World Cup, but the 7-1 was the only memorable game in the knock-out rounds. And even it can't be called a great game. With Reus in the team you could probably get away with playing...

    No doubt this generation is a relatively weak one. Dale Steyn is worth watching, as is Mitchell Johnson if he bowls like he did during the last Ashes series. Anderson was good, but is a couple of years past his best now. Yeah, I like the batsmen you mention. Would add Michael Clarke to them...

    [WC] World Cup 2014 - General Talk Thread

    Find it quite amusing how articles are being written praising Germany and Loew now as if they were just unbelievably brilliant throughout the tournament. Firstly, Loew got things horribly wrong in the first few games. Germany are good enough/the opposition were bad enough that they got away...

    Substance over style for me, so not interested in the romantic choice. Which is exactly why I may have greater admiration for Dravid than Tendulkar. I want someone who scores runs in all conditions and gets tough runs when the team really needs them. And F1 comparisons are wasted on me -...

    Wishlist and General Juve mercato talk (2014-15)

    Heading to Lazio, is he not? Be quite the defensive upgrade for them if they manage to move from a Dias-Biava pairing to an Astori-De Vrij pairing in one summer.

    Kallis. :stuckup: The England v Sri Lanka series just past was great. Both matches decided in the final over of the fifth day. And England lost. :D And it featured Sangakkara, who is probably my favourite among the batsmen who'd be considered modern greats.

    What Are You Doing Right Now?

    Because I banned him. Go and look through his last dozen or so posts. I'll bet there are more that are infraction-worthy than aren't.

    :kiss: - - - Updated - - - Only problem is that we are just coming off a Test that pretty much everyone knew was going to be a draw before the end of the second day. Ain't a great advert for Test cricket when you have three days of people just having to go through the motions.

    Non-Juve Transfer news (official or rumors)

    BBC is saying £35m. That's a fair bit more than Juve are paying for Iturbe.

    Arguing about players based on stats. :sergio: Baines has been the best attacking left-back in the EPL for a few years.
