Hahaha rio looks exactly like the zombie(?) things from the movie I am Legend lol
I can’t stop laughing at the picture of Rio Voldemort… er Ferdinand.
1910 piece is fantastic. Italy was, and continues to be, corrupt. Inter should have that title stripped and Pro Vercelli should have it reinstated.
Makes me root for the rise of the old time powers in Italy. Though Vercelli aren’t in the big time (or even close), it’s nice to see Genoa back in the top flight, and fighting for a European slot.
Looks a bit orcish in that photo…
For PR reasons Philadelphia should interview Lalas and whoever else they hire will be considered a great choice.
“NEWCASTLE: The Grateful Dead
Blessed with an unbelievable number of rabid fans who can see no wrong in their heroes whatsoever. Everyone else looks on in total bemusement.”
LMAO!! Great link–thanks, Ives!
Matt Reis looks more like ‘Dave’ from Lost, Hurley’s imaginary friend. Still, enjoyable and something I’d made a connection to in my head before now.
I’ve also played Pro Vercelli many times in FM – I love the whole challenge of reinstating a fallen giant. They’ll never be big again, only in FM and only under the right guidance….
LMAOOOO the lost look a likes were TOO funny lol. that made my mourning that much betta! lol thanks for the laugh ives
I was gonna ask for a new picture of Ferdinand, that’s not what I wanted to see waking up…
Having a cousin who went to grad school in Exeter, that was cool, and the Teams as Bands was thoroughly enjoyable.
Is it me or does Rio look like something from I, Legend?
The 1910 champion piece is wonderful.
this feature is almost getting to the supreme level of http://www.theoffside.com Keep it up and you might have me switching allegiances.
