trem_two posted:Kamara is a prototypical volante that is able to disrupt the opponent's second/third phase. However he is unable to function as mediocentro. Kamara can also be described as an 'ön libero' in the mold of George Boateng, however he cannot mark two angles at once like Cambiasso 09/10. For me he is best deployed in an asymmetrical 442, what we in the business like to call the 'rhombus', alongside an interior and a shuttle. Is this a post about Kei Kamara? We in the business?

So as an American who watches the Premier League and Champions league every week from his comfortable couch, I've never understood why fans are so hateful sometimes. I get it, they're hardcore, just like me. I scream when Arsenal scores even though I usually watch games alone. However, I've never understood why fans boo THEIR OWN PLAYERS AND TEAM. Like okay, maybe they made a mistake, but is it really necessary to bring your own team down like that? Gee, I think it's even harsh when they boo the other team. This weekend, I was horrified to hear my fellow Gooners over at the Emirates booing Giroud for his first-half performance against Sunderland. He's one of the best strikers in the Premier league, he works so hard, and that's how you repay him? England isn't the only country guilty of this (even though they are pretty bad about it), I've seen this kind of stuff all over the Champions League too. I live in St. Louis, and every time I go to a Cardinals game, the fans are super polite. For example: The Cardinals and the Cubs are bitter rivals, and once I was at a Cubs vs. Cardinals game. Jason Mott, who had previously won the World Series with the Cardinals, had signed for the Cubs the previous year. When he was brought on IN THE CARDINAL'S HOME STADIUM, he was clapped and cheered by everyone in the stands. I just don't understand why Europeans are so hateful sometimes. It's just a sport.

it's always arsenal fans I found a great quote when I, without any goal, just lazily googled around (which I too often do). Do you want to hear? No? I'll tell it anyway, and I do it with joy: "This world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel". Why is it good? Why has the British writer Horace Walpole, who has been dead for a couple of hundred years, managed to capture my interest? Because the quote rings true. At least for me. The more I think, the easier I have to see the humor in Arsène Wenger's nervousness. The more I feel, the easier I become annoyed with those who see the humor in Arsene Wenger's nervousness. Football and love are two areas where I more often feel rather than think, where I take strange decision, and reach emotional states that I didn’t know I had. This means that I suffer when I watch my Arsenal, with other people who don’t care as much as I do. Those who think instead of feel. Those who laughs when Per Mertesacker slip, those who mock Mikel Arteta perfect hairstyle. Right there and then, I hate these people enormously. I think I have come to the realization that there will always be this way: that I will always be an emotional wreck when Arsenal play. I don’t know if it is always healthy, but I have a feeling that it sometimes can be useful to switch between emotions - to exploit the full emotional spectrum, which can often be severely underutilized in human beings. When the match is over, the grieving process begins, but during the game all feelings are allowed. Even crying (when Thierry Henry made his comeback for Arsenal in January 2012 and scored against Leeds in the FA Cup tears came, totally unexpected, which I don’t seem entirely comfortable with telling you guys, so therefore it pops up in this parenthesis rather than in the real text). I know how non-football people, "normal" people, look at this. They think I'm ridiculous. But I think like this: if you have children, you understand how other parents are feeling. Right? And when your child, a little bit clumsy, walks into a door and starts crying, you obviously don’t laugh even though you from on an intellectual viewpoint can see the humor in the situation (and perhaps wish that you had captured the incident on video and could send it to one of these bloopers shows on TV). It works exactly the same way with football supporters. And I don’t mean supporters like my brother that once every six months watch a match with Liverpool, and only discuss them when they are playing like they did the spring 2014. He’s a non-committed dad in that way. He doesn’t care about the team's development, crises, all the interesting stuff that only one who looks really carefully can see – he just want to be part of the fun when there is fun to be part of. He isn’t like many of us who have daily contact with our children, i.e. our favorite club; we who update us about injuries, and watch all sorts of interviews to get a better feel for how the atmosphere is among the players. We, the committed parents (I really don’t think I can stretch this analogy further now…). How you relate to football are obviously individually and as Buddha said: “Nothing is better or worse than the other”. But I always try to argue for friends, family, and really every person I encounter, the interesting thing that happens when you truly surrenders to a team; to this strange emotional roller coaster, where you let a bunch of strangers decide how you will feel in the near future. I know how that sounds, it sounds so drat irrational. But that's also the beauty of loving a team: to decide that at least once a week to feel rather than think; not to reflect or ridicule the feelings that arise, but just dive into the sensations that occur when Olivier Giroud receive the ball with a too heavy touch and see where they take you.
