The 2015-16 World Fitba Thread!

"Zambamalandia":l2:

 

Significant footballing power is Zambamalandia. They must be - practically every English Premier League club has a midfielder or three from there.

Physical fitness and the ability to run a lot = beautiful football

 

Taarabt is just as talented, only fatter and lazier

 

:: No he fucking isn't.

MTF

 

Eder's goal = Taraaabt's entire career

 

You know he's a badass when he's in shape and motivated

 

still, I've never seen him charge forward in a huge game with the score level and only minutes left to play and casually flick the ball off the ground and volley it a zillion miles an hour with a ridiculous 12-6 curve right by an elite but completely frozen keeper

 

To put Taarabt in the same sentence as Peter Beardsley, unless that sentence is 'Adel Taarabt is nowhere near as good as Peter Beardsley', is insanity.

MTF ::

 

Taarabt ever score a goal like this at Wembley?

Does that share a border with bongobongoland?:scared2:

 

Yes.

MTF

 

Both are just poor men's Paddy McCourts.

 

Who is a homeless man's Hans Dieter Von Gaschluftenfleebel.

 

:mj:

Greatest ever fitbawler from Derry named Pat

 

The Timmy Johan Cruyff! Elegant, snake hipped, poised, raffish......(drunk, shiftless)

 

Lets watch this again :)

(out of shape, self-indulgent, undisciplined)

 

In terms of raw footballing ability? He absolutely belongs in the same sentence

 

No, he didn't, because he's Moroccan

 

The ITV news just called Greater Manchester a 'city'. Interesting.

 

Slice thinking there is a bye-law which prevents Moroccan fat cunts from scoring goals at Wembley, there.

MTF

 

The mistake you've made there is watching ITV News.

MTF

 

Wasn't deliberate to be fair. In fact, I actually have no idea how it happened.

 

No he doesn't, ya bam. Tarrabt is a Ben Arfa level of player - in fact the two of them are remarkably similar in terms of talent, actual achievements and attitudes.

Beardsley is a multiple-honour winning, two-hundred-odd goals scoring, Hall-of-Fame footballer. Tarrabt is a talented fat cunt with an ego and attitude completely disproportionate to his achievements.

MTF

 

That kind of mitigates it. ITV News is absolutely appalling.

MTF

 

The other councils in Greater Manchester are smart for agreeing to the name, i think in my mind. It makes the whole region more marketable than if they'd called it 'Southern Lancashire' or some shit.

 

Decent Shellick team, that.

MTF

 

It was OK. Quite a few pishers and Larsson wasn't Larsson quite yet. But it stopped the ten so it'll be remembered forever. Lambert was a fantastic player.

Oh God the atmosphere in those days. It could make me cry thinking about it. I ended up tumbling about ten rows forward when that goal went in. Grizzly, tattooed men were hugging strangers and crying.

 

Even a semi-baked Larsson is better than anything I've seen for Shellick the last few years (I haven't watched much outside European games, tbf). And aye, Lambert was a hell of a player. He was immense for BvB in the 1997 CL final. Kept Zidane quiet all game. Remarkable how poor a manager he seems to be - his Villa side is absolutely fucking rank.
