*Official* English Football Season 2008-2009

[Redbacks]

VIVA RONALDOOOOO

He F***'ed Off To Madrid
Just Like Beckham Did

VIVA RONALDOOOOO

 

[Trumpers_Ghost]

Seen Liverpool's finances?

Yeah good point.

I'd hope that if they got a 80m pd (can't do the pound symbol on my keyboard, just realised that now!) windfall then they'd use it pay off debts too.

 

[Smith]

Real repeating the same mistakes. Going for stars rather than actually making up a team which can gel.

 

[Craig]

Would rather Barca win anything then Real Madrid anyday.

 

[roseboy64]

Roseboy's just being weird, everyone else loves the guy. Well we would if he didn't appear to be seriously considering going to Citeh.

Nope lots of people I know have been getting annoyed with him.

 

[cpr]

Personally I'd like to see Tevez leave

1) We owe it to the guy, he's played his heart out for us but he's not going to be a starter, so cant begrudge him the move.

2) He can run, and scores the odd goal, but tbh, Rooney does 80% of that running too and is far more effective when he gets the ball. Rooney's suffered sorta by trying to get Tevez in, £25m is about £15m too much for that sort of player

3) We need a striker who only see's goal, a Van Nistelrooy. Let Rooney and Berba sod about behind, our weakness is the lack of threat in the area once the fancy works done. Tevez doesnt fix that (thats what I like about Macheda, lays it off then points himself at goal and gets in there)

But Berbatov does offer that threat in the box like RVN, thats what he did for the Spurs. It would be very playing him a CF role. Just need to be patient with him.

Cant sell Tevez, even if he may not be guranteed a first team place all the time. Competition & depth is key in a champion side.

 

[roseboy64]

Eto'o in for cheaper than Tevez would cost. (y)

You don't have choice, he's not yours to sell and if you can't give him what he wants (regular starts) he will go without United having any say.

Will seriously struggle away from Spain IMO.

 

[Craig]

Speculation is that Real Madrid will now move Inter's right back Douglas Maicon which will then push Sergio Ramos back to centre back.

In other news, Liverpool's Andrea Dossena, much to the delight of Liverpool fans, should join Juventus soon.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Real Madrid spend zillions: wow
City attempt to do similar: DESTROYING FOOTBALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Getting my goat now.

 

[GIMH]

Don't take it personally. It's more an attack on English football I tend to find (unless of course it's English folk who've been saying this, in which case, d'oh!)

Who says it's destroying football?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Who says it's destroying football?

Fatini, for one. "Financial doping" he called it, IIRC.

Did you happen to read any football website during the January Kaka drama? There was 1500 comments per article lambasting City and saying they were ruining the game and football would collapse because of this (among other ridiculous bull**** like "Citee hve noe histori!" from ****s from Malaysia and ****).

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Fatini, for one. "Financial doping" he called it, IIRC.

And of course, he's been silent about this.

 

[BoyBrumby]

And of course, he's been silent about this.

Had missed that in all fairness.

Felt happier when I thought he was a hypocrite as well. Feeds into my persecution complex more. They all hate us, you know; the French. ****s haven't even got the decency to learn English, half of them....

No, that type of bull**** is exactly why i don't bother to read the comments on football websites.

 

[grecian]

Yep, football websites are ****. Despite my love for the game, I think the only football things I have bookmarked are Exeweb (and god that can be depressing at times), and BBC's football section. Don't get me started on the pointless speculation that Sky think is lower-league news

 

[GIMH]

Been going on the Tranmere forum for the last week, since Moore got sacked. It's painful as anything.
