Cowabunga's Profile

I guess it's all the more offensive if a white guy says it. Slavery and all.

I have to admit, that video had some funny bits and looks pretty fake on certain parts. Pranking the viewers. The jokes are on them now.

We've has 8 managers in the last 10 years or so, staff have obviously come and gone with regularity too. Hoping it'll settle down a bit now, although if these guys have a couple of years of success it wouldn't be surprising to see them poached. Seems we're trying to set ourselves up like southampton, openly saying that they want to be a springboard for young/foreign talent.

Who needs multi million pound machines to train when you have creativity? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwpR5vc6KQU Granted this drill could have played a part in why none of our goalkeepers seemed to want to catch the ball last year.

Sports science encompasses a lot of areas. Things like medical, player nutrition, psychology and whatever voodoo magic they've implemented into football since I visited our training ground. Modern training grounds really are more like labs than what you'd consider a traditional training area. So Domogalla will be heading up all of those departments and making sure they're all running efficiently.

Fluthmann is a regular first team coach but he'll also be heading up the football analysis stuff, thus working closely with Farke and Reimer.

Frankie McAvoy was our last manager's assistant, he's essentially been double demoted. He's called a head coach but his job will more be about getting under 23s level players first team ready. You'd have thought that was the job of the u23s staff but apparently we need another link.

I wonder if the Brits are starting to feel s bit outnumbered.

Do a good number of people in western Europe understand English?

It just shows how time goes by. Who is the guy on the motor scooter?

I'm doing okay. There are times I feel like the old person on this site. I remember when I wouldn't see many people newer than me and now I see many.

Has been perfect here today, mid 20s with a nice breeze. Went over to the fairground at a local park with my nieces earlier on. Now for beer and perhaps some cartoons. Decent day.

Our new signing is a central defender but not the one from Arsenal. Christoph Zimmermann of you've guessed it - Dortmund 2. Never heard of him until a second ago, all we really know is he's a defender and he was Farke's captain last year. Oh right and he's signing on a free.

I wonder if our kit will have black stripes on it this year.

A few minutes after I posted that the club 'teased' a signing on twitter. Guess I'll see who that is when I get home from buying beer. Probs that Arsenal defender. or even that Dortmund coach who hasn't oficially joined yet.

Nothing too exciting happening here. Seems we're about to hire another manager from the Dortmund youth setup, not sure if he'll be a part of the first team coaching or perhaps manager of the development side. Other than that it's just strong rumours about a couple of squad players leaving, that's not surprising as we're trying to virtually half our £34 million wage budget this summer.

The big advantage is saving money and guaranteeing your seat. We'll sell around 20k season tickets which means only 7k tickets are available, including those for away fans.

I've never minded going to football on my own, granted I've only done that for a couple of seasons. Went with my stepdad when i was a kid and a West Ham supporting mate when I was a teen. As you're seated with the same people every game you should be able to find at least a couple to chat with at half time, or of course at half time you can go into the concourse and speak to people you know over an overpriced pint.

No special names, just season tickets and a membership package. The membership gets you priority for general sale tickets and various discounts on things, it's inly £25 per year.

Red Pass sounds like a membership to a cable porn channel.

Your stadium is about 2.5x bigger than ours and you have rival teams nearby, I'm not too surprised.

Got my season ticket anyway, decent seat too behind one of the goals.

lol yeah, Gaitan never did make that switch. I honestly know nothing about the player, I hope Benfica are getting a bigger chunk of the fee than they got with the keeper though.

FFP sanctions shouldn't be too hard to avoid for a club like Porto. Suppose they just didn't care.

Krystian Bielik will almost certainly be our fourth signing of the summer, he announced it himself in an interview. He's a young Polish defender at Arsenal. Looks calm on the ball and has an eye for a pass. Basically he's the opposite of our defenders last season, who started shaking whenever the ball was within 20 yards of them.

Also finally got to the top of the season ticket waiting list, will be going down to the ticket office in the week to get a seat sorted.

Also yeah, there was some black lives matter stuff here. Fucking ridiculous when they were quoting american police figures for their actions.

A lot of the early influences of rock music came from black music too, times have changed though.

Yeah, loads of historic trade off between the UK and the US. Financial, politica/military and of course culturally. It goes back to post war and a speech that Churchill made, he used the phrase 'special relationship' for the first time. Always makes me laugh.

Just seen that Hull have hired Slutsky, now that's an interesting one. Commentators will have to be careful when they come and play Farke's Norwich City.
