Re: The Official Football Thread haha, why does it have to be cricket? i bet all the managers hope that their opposing team's best players are unfit, or unavailable. Anyway...Arsenal would still finish 2nd in the EPL with or without Eduardo. There first team XI is good but Wenger should...

Re: The Official Football Thread yes, woot!! he's a decent striker but just like another Ukranian was an utter-flop in the EPL, he'll own in Russia as thats his type of conditions. :spin:

Re: The Official Football Thread Edit: mate, there is no 'is', replace that with a 'was', then it'll be true. He 'was' a beast in his glory days at the Gunners, and Wenger knew when Vieira didnt have it, thats the day he moved on. He 'used' to have a 'fighting' mentality, now its like a...

Re: The Official Football Thread yeh, you should of won that, but its great news for non-arsenal supporters. C'mon Eduardo, break your leg again..wheres Stephen Carr :sun:

Its a worth-while tutoring centre.

Re: The Official Football Thread This is the best transfer for Man City...:mad1: they really need a 34+ year old energy-less midfielder in their first XI....i wonder how Patrick is going to get playing time with more versatile players such as Kompany, De Jong both fit and available. Vieira...

re: The Official Football Thread The Merseyside derbies are nothing now, the recent 'derby' was a fluke win for Liverpool as Everton had a billion injuries to deal with. Plus, the fact that Everton owned the scousers in the midfield, if only they had a clinical finisher...thats why they are...

re: The Official Football Thread Ha.

re: The Official Football Thread good logic; maybe offering the south-american region another place as the top 6 from this year were very, very close.

I agree x100!! There was no logic behind the transfer of Robben. Instead Madrid could of sold of VDV for a nice price to any German Club or to Ajax. Sneijder had to move, he's World Class and a player of that Calibre doesnt deserve bench time in Spain. I'm questioning Florentino Perez's...

re: The Official Football Thread Neuer and Adler are both going to fight for the #1 place in the future..but someone a little more experienced should be played atm, maybe Wiese..he's been pulling stunning saves at Bremen and he's 27 (peak age??) :D

re: The Official Football Thread one correction to this...the 3RD name on your list doesnt count as a huge blow. Mikel will only ever get sub appearances as long as Essien is playin at the base of the diamond formation. Seriously, how is Mikel going to compete with Essien, Ballack, Deco...

re: The Official Football Thread exactly; and the transfer ban has been suspended..hence we can buy Brazil's future midfield/forward in Santos Alex Teixiera and that 19/20 yr old Fabio Coentrao from Benfica. BAHAHAHAHA at Liverpool; i guess its welcome to Europa League for them.

What a joke at Portsmouth!!!! AHAHAHAAHA The Premier League has put an Embargo on them, i wonder how they will buy new players. :sun:

re: The Official Football Thread Ur right about Casillas but as long as Stubborn Lippi is coach of Italy, he'll pick players based in Italy. Sorry, Mannone but Lippi hates English clubs. I think the only italian international in England who has a decent chance of the 2010 World Cup is...

re: The Official Football Thread Yeh; although I hate Liverpool to the bone, Reina is in the Top 3 EPL goalkeepers. ROFL, Arsenal have a wobbly polish Fabianski and a 33 yr old Almunia (never regarded as good enough for Spain national team...I wonder why??) Mannone may eventually be an OK...

re: The Official Football Thread so true; Liverpool fans were probably licking their lips when rumours about a 'Saudi Takeover' were revealed; now look at them. Liverpool are a 3-man team; the three players are: Reina, Gerrard and Torres.

re: The Official Football Thread it was a great game; though this proves nothing as we all knew Real madrid were gonna struggle without their $162 million boy. Milan deserve to finish outside top 4 in Italy, so that they can begin bringing down their average squad age down a little bit.

I agree with that; he'll be selected as the 'impact' player or Super-Sub...along the same lines as Italy's golden boy: Alessandro Del Piero (NOT considering positions, only amount of attacking talent)

In addition to his position being doubtful already; players like Hummels, Hoewedes, Bender are quite talented at CB/DM positions (part of the U-21 German champions)
