You say Spurs sold their soul, but I thought the biggest story of the transfer window was that no one did a deal with the Red Devils.

Headline Correction: "Washington Football Team LB Tackles Two Bucs At The Same Time"

i was just going to say the same thing. This group does not compare with Group D from last year.

Of course Ribery was the favorite for the award. It's only three years old.

Hey everybody, That Guy showed up.

Agreed! I do a strawberry - jalapeño infused vodka/tequilla that's great mixer and blows away anything you can buy on the shelf. Super simple, too. Heat 2 lbs of frozen strawberries with 2 or 3 chopped jalapeños in a small pot with a scant ¼ cup sugar and a splash of water to make a simple jam. Now pour that into…

Are you sure? I thought this was the recipe for the stuff he put in his hair.

I tried a habanero margarita one time and my body told me never to do that again. I got the loudest hiccups I've ever had in my life and hiccuped uncontrollably for about 3 minutes straight. It was tasty tho?

Anyone else want to punch that smug 1800 guy right in the face?

Yes, you're right: the best way to make a margarita is to make some whole other drink. Shut up.

Not at all. Check out the net spend here: http://www.transferleague.co.uk/premiership-tr…

Yep that is true. It's a FIFA rule prohibiting a player from moving that frequent. There were rumors during the January transfer window that Hulk was gonna try and get out of Russia (because that was a dumbass move for him, giant sacks of money be damned) but yeah, FIFA rules deny him from doing such.

I don't keep close tabs on european football outside the brazilian players.
Is Bale worth that kind of money ? Is he -the shit- ? Is he for real ?

Because for 100 million bucks, dude better be the second coming of Beckenbauer.

I love how the commenter with the Bucs logo as his avatar has demonstrated a more nuanced & comprehensive understanding of the game, rather than simply pointing at a statistic repeatedly.

I'm not even watching this game (Watchespn crapped out on me today), so I have no idea which team, if any, is dominating at any given point. I was just pointing out that you made the broadly sweeping claim that possession=dominance, then in response to criticism crafted some straw man argument that we were saying…

Why are you being a petulant baby about this? The commenters really aren't being that aggressive with you, and they're right.

It sounds like we're arguing different points. Yes, if a team has an overwhelming possession advantage they will probably win. But possession advantage does not necessarily equate to dominating the game, for the reasons I stated. Same with American football—time of possession often correlates with success, but if you…

That's overly simplistic, especially when talking about a team with Barca's style. In general high possession will often correlate with a team controlling the game, but not if those numbers reflect just passing the ball sideways and backwards in the midfield without doing anything with it. Barca can easily have 65%+…

barca had over 60% both times bayern demolished them in the champions league last year. using possession as an indicator for when barca should win is like using payroll as an indicator for when the yankees should. they're always going to have it, they're not always going to win.
