Not the best gifs I could have made, but at least they're there. I'm too sleepy to care. Good night!

Does Diego have a cap in the Brazilian national team?

Hey Faridmon, to me it has always been Slowdive > MBV. Souvlaki fucking rocks. Oh and The Joy Formidable is playing Lowlands this summer so I can check them out.

Have fun at the British Seapower Gig.

Samsung ready to invest €120m for stadium naming rights & other activities.

Ribery and Giggs pls

I hope we call our stadium Samsung, because it means 'Three Stars' in Korean! :p

-Age is just a number
unless you're an underage chick, then it's basically handcuffs in human form
-Stop caring about 'achieving something in life' and enjoy what's left of it.

Which makes it obviously inferior to Chilsung (seven stars) Cider!

Our next sponsors hopefully. :p

Could be! But I dont get my hopes up. He wont deliver against Barca :(
Could we go with a Schweini - Martinez - Gustavo - Shaq midfield against Barça ? Schweini being more defensive and Shaq running and dribbling like mad. This would diminish the influence of Messi/Xavi/Iniesta while leaving space open on the right to assassinate Alba.

Here is a quote from last year

Sichtlich bewegt kommentierte Klopp den denkwürdigen Höhenflug: "81 Punkte – das ist eine historische Marke, die vermutlich so bald keiner erreichen wird. Wenn wir uns in 30, 40 Jahren daran erinnern werden wir ein Lächeln auf den Lippen haben."

Quick Translation: Clearly moved by what happened Klopp commented on the current run: "81 points - that definitely a historical benchmark which probably no team will ever reach again. If we remember this in 30, 40 year, we will have a smile on our faces."

Current table. 5 games left.

...I need to know more ! :p


Also, Hoeness thinks Shaq is not quite there on par with Ribéry (in German):

http://www.tz-online.de/sport/fc-ba...qiri-noch-lange-kein-ribery-meta-2856786.html

Honestly, I think he is right. Shaqiri cannot orientate the game prior to the last 20 meters of the opposite goal, but still, he has all the qualities to step up his game in midfield given his ability to dribble, cross, deliver precise in depth passes, and endurance.

Shaq can compete with Ribéry starting next season and is already on par with Robben in his current role. I can't wait also for him to be more level headed when it comes to defending. Then you got a perfect midfielder/winger.

Ribery needed years to come where he is now. 2, 3 years ago he didn't work half as hard as right now. Give Shaq some time and he can our future best player. Dat talent. That raw strength. It's just fantastic! I think yesterday was the second time this season already where he threw Naldo away lol. Here was the first time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7M_miDbK-U

Love Shaq <3

I'll be sure to check it out Mr Fady!

Would love to hear your thoughts if you did :D

I liked the DLC, felt it was BioShock 1 esce, but what did you like about it so much?

Hey there Sleepless :D What I loved about it is that the plot overall was far more enjoyable than what was offered in Bioshock 2. I also felt the gameplay was a bit more fun (the level design helped the gameplay shine more).

If Chelsea want to go back to 4-3-3, then they need to make some seriously good CM signings in the summer.

This. We really need more CMs. Teams run through our CMs far too easily, making it almost impossible for the attacking midfielders to do their job.

it boils down to this: i'm 25 and should've had a law degree already, but, obviously, i'm still working on it. i'm in class with people way younger than me and it fucking kills me because i shouldn't be there anymore. law doesn't even interest me that much anymore (civil law is actually kinda interesting, but that's really it), but the only reason i'm not dropping out is because, well, i just can't do that. i wouldn't have a degree in that case. that would be fucked up. i only have a year left, but then what?

i i don't know what i want in life. i have accomplished little to nothing. people i was in class with years ago have successful careers whereas i'm still a student. i still feel like a child.

i'm having a quarter life crisis.

I feel you Bud. I am 27 and I have not enjoyed my job or cared much for it since I started working in the fall of 2008. It's been over 4 years now and I'm still not sure what I want to do. Know this though - finishing a law degree is an achievement in itself. Don't let the age of others around you bother you bro. There are likely a lot of people who end up pursuing a degree of interest in their 40s possibly. However since law does not interest you much - why don't you try to think of fields of interest and try to follow that path if it is feasible? You can also ask some family and friends who know you well for their feedback, or a career advisor in your university as well. Since you only have a year left, keep it up and think of it this way - you almost have your law degree and then you will never have to worry about being degree-less. Maybe you can explore other options this year for what you would like to pursue after you graduate? I know this is easier said than done, and many would consider it to be cliched at best, but thinking of the future too much can only bring anxiety. What you have now is the present and what you do in it now is what matters as it can affect your future for the better.

As for this part: "i i don't know what i want in life. i have accomplished little to nothing. people i was in class with years ago have successful careers whereas i'm still a student. i still feel like a child." Not knowing what you want in life is not as bad as we all think in my opinion (I too have this problem), try to turn this "problem" on its' head. Think of it as an opportunity to explore the idea of what interests you in life. As for comparisons to others who have had successful careers, that is not the best idea in my opinion because it doesn't necessarily tell you about how unsuccessful you are, it just tells you about how successful someone else is. A lot of people are ambitious and want to be as successful as others, and that can invite a lot stress as it could very much be insatiable. I think you will find a lot more gratification by comparing yourself to your own self and that way you can appreciate all the little steps you take in improving your life in different ways.

I hope this helps bro. Never give up. Godspeed :)

I hit an important milestone today. I am now at my lowest weight since before I started gaining weight. From here on out I am breaking new ground baby.

Congrats buddy! Keep it up.

Well.. I can relate lol.

I'm 23 and my friends starting to get kids is just weird, when I'm only one year in on Uni (2 ½ left) and can barely be bothered to actually do stuff. At least everyone in my class are old for some reason, only think 2 are younger than me and nearly all of them are women, so it's like having 25 moms which is not too bad other than them trying to set you up with ugly chicks. I think I just stopped caring though at this point what people think, I'm a lazy bastard and do things slowly, I've accepted it haha.

My God wooden this is how I feel about my working life haha! I am actually thinking about getting into football commentary, analysis, and writing. But I barely get off my ass and try to explore this path either! Ugh.

Damn it. I'm back to praying on other teams results for Arsenal.

Go to hell Giroud. Enjoy the bench all next season you bastard.

Worry not Lightning, we (chelsea) still have to play Man United at Old Trafford (we are losing), Tottenham (a very tough game), Fulham away (we have not won there in many years), Everton at home (very tough, could see us drawing), Liverpool at Anfield (a definite loss), Swansea home (a possible win?), and playing away to a resurgent Aston Villa (maybe draw). We are possibly going to lose 15 points in the next few matches. That is how inconsistent our team is.

Fuck a career, enjoy life.

That's my motto!
As long as you have a job that pays enough to live the life you want, all is good.

Perhaps you guys should stop making 20 posts a day on GAF and actually do something with your life. Go out, get to know people, and finish college/uni asap. Im 23 and im a teacher. Life is good. PSV sucks.

Today is my birthday btw.

I'm 34 and a buyer/planner, life is also good.
Didn't finish college though.

Man, learn to translate :D

It's "which no team will probably reach again that soon."

Which I guess was totally okay to say after last season.

I'm 25 and been working as a softwae developer since 2008.

I don't think I waste my time on GAF or browsing, but It's an important part of my life.

Sky Sports' comment section is more depressing than I remembered.

My girlfriend is a teacher but do to a nationwide lockout she is currently at home. It sucks as I cannot go home from work early and play video games without her disapproving comments. And yes, PSV didn't look their best on Sunday.
