Pixel art is mostly shit cause it can be a cheap way around not having a budget. But some games man...

Not to forget Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP

 

[omgkitty]

There's no way we would spend £18m on a young Brazilian who may or may not get a work permit.

Other clubs do it. Not sure why we never seem to be able to pull it off. The kid seems good enough to at least be backup on our team.

Iniesta hugging Gahl. Tap that cunt up Gahl!!!

 

[noal]

Cheers

I'm on their TV but my parents aren't, and they'd be the account-holders.

Might be easier to cancel my sub, get them on the full package, and get Multiroom. Not sure what'd happen to the dish if I did that though

Sky have never bothered with the dishes or the boxes. Sometimes if installing they will use your old one or replace it. When I moved house I just ripped it down myself.

Do they?

I'm trying to think of a large team from England buying a completely unknown South American for that kind of money and coming up blank.

Oscar, for example, was very highly rated (and already involved with the national set-up iirc).

 

[Wilbur]

BBC is so much better than ITV

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Rio script reading like mad.

 

[Honey Bunny]

Dat montage

But I feel like if we spent that much they'd have to give us a work permit. Obviously we wouldn't be fucking around.

:lol agreed.

He has potential, I guess. Nowhere near as bad as I was expecting.

 

[LTWheels]

Been getting back into Titanfall. Haven't played it for months, but been quite fun jumping into a few games between World Cup matches.

 

[90TilInfinity]

Who is Rodrigo Caio?

He was player of the tournament at Toulon this year.

 

[Wilbur]

Rio script reading like mad.

Just the fact they're even attempting to acknowledge and analyse this stuff as opposed to Chiles talking about Cannavaro in shorts...

 

[Granadier]

Giff me online stream FIFA!!

World Cup hates people without a TV subscription.

edit: nvm fixed

 

[Broder Salsa]

Mourinho spotted tapping up players in Brøndby

 

[Wilbur]

This Dutch team is so weird. Haven't even heard of the keeper.

Would love a holland win but don't see it.

 

[bud]

so many empty seats.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

First red card of the tournament coming up.

 

[Salvadora]

I believe the circumstances a work permit is given is if he's had a set number of appearances in the national team or, he has 'exceptional talent.'

I'm not sure how they determine the later, but I can't imagine they are very lenient as there seem to be very few examples of it happening.

Holland's national anthem sounds like a medley of about 7 different Christmas songs

Yeah, our work permit guys don't piss about with this stuff. If the player you're after doesn't check the necessary boxes, he's not getting a permit, no matter how promising he is. We spent ages getting Mark Gonzalez and Sebastian Leto as we struggled to get them permits.

It's about being under the rule of the King of Spain too, IIRC.

According to where omgkitty got that tweet, the kid is going to apply for dual citizenship in Italy, so a work permit wouldn't come into it.

The Jorge Mendes thing makes this pretty interesting though, lol.

 

[bud]

sneijder you utter fucking failure

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Oh dear Sneijder

 

[Steverulez]

Wesley, that was pretty bad.

 

[Wilbur]

Terrible shot

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Costa looked like a Chelsea striker there. Welcome.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Really did :lol

Shevchenko Mk III cometh

 

[Steverulez]

Costa looked like a Chelsea striker there. Welcome.

Perhaps Torres sneezed on him in training

 

[Wilbur]

Costa looked like a Chelsea striker there. Welcome.

The booing is jokes :lol

Still find it odd he's gone for Spain over Brazil. Imagine if Messi had done the same!

That national team appearances rule is a bit bullshit, as over 30% of the people given work permit doesn't have that. Also the FA has a "football expert panel" that more or less controls that crap.

 

[BlindCommunication]

De Jong's special. Not as good as 4 years ago.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Fucking Busquets. Fuck off.

 

[bud]

welcome to chelsea, costa.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

So far so Torres.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

9 league goals next season, book it. Save us Ba.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Well at least he will probably spit on Aggers face, well worth the money for that imo.

 

[Steverulez]

9 league goals next season, book it. Save us Ba.

We're swapping Morata and Lukaku apparently so he will save us!

 

[Wilbur]

Costa looks good under Simeone, in a direct counter attacking side. He will look good under Mourinho, in a direct counter attacking side. So will Fabregas. Spain are only set up to make midgets look good

 

[Salvadora]

In all likelihood, it's mostly political.

I believe Wenger had to make an appearance for Ryo's hearing.

 

[bud]

please sub de guzman. worst player on the pitch.

 

[bud]

that's an amazing dive.

i hope he dies.

 

[BlindCommunication]

Diego Costa outplaying Fred. Brazil's loss.

 

[Steverulez]

that's an amazing dive.

i hope he dies.

 

[Wilbur]

that's an amazing dive.

i hope he dies.

Don't think it's a dive. He played for it, but De Vrji caught him. Clever lad. Naughty lad. Not cheating lad.

 

[Tc91]

Fuck off Costa you cheating cunt, hope Vlaar snaps him.

 

[LTWheels]

Looked like Costa stepped on the defenders trailing leg.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Yup that's initiating contact if I ever saw it.

 

[Granadier]

Didn't look like he tripped at all.

Looked like he saw an opportunity and took it.
