everyone knows Gerrard and Lampard aint meant to be part of the same midfield. for some reasons managers disagree. sometimes you have to cut a big name players so the team itself can improve.
look Spain left Raul out and won the Euro's.

Exactly !!!!!!
Alf Ramsay hit it on the head...
Jack Charlton :
"Guv, I Could Name At Least 4 Defenders Who Are Better Than Me...
Why Am I Here And They're Not ?"
Alf Ramsay :
"I Don't Pick The Best Players in The League...I Pick The Best Players For My Team"
And that speaks volumes because England won the World Cup with that phillosophy ?!?!?
........Shit makes me laugh.
england is by far the most over rated of the "super powers" and have been for some time ... how any english fan could of said with a straight face that they'd of won euro if they made it (there's a fucking reason they didn't make it!!) is beyond comprehension ... and yes there were plenty of them because thats all i saw on setanta ... i mean lol wes brown? they're kidding aren't they? ... emile heskey? ... england keep going back to the tried and failed and scratch their head when they go nowhere ... i thought capello would be different but obviously he's not
silvestre to arsenal ... wow ... what a random transfer that is
england suck the dick at football. straight up. bunch of robots. thats why any good epl team needs latin/mediterranean imports to inject creativity and imagination in their football. unless england naturalize some brazilians or some shit its gonna be a while for them.
England have always had a lack of creative players. they aint solved it.
like i said the Croatia game will really determine where this team is going. England are lucky that they have fallen into an easy group for qualification.
Croatia just played 2:3, winning in Slovenia, yesterday
let me say it again
Slovenia
and I don't wanna hear nobody say no Luka Modrič, their team was still hell strong...so, if England saw that game, they'll know what to do....I guess
oh yes my turkish league starts today. and finally i can watch the games on TV. it cost 300 euros a year for 1 damn channel. fukin hell..
English Premier League Half-Time. 6 Games, 3 Goals
ahahaahahah Sunderland 2 - 1 Tottenham ahahahaha. Spurs lose at home. Cisse scores the winner on his debut.
2 late goals give Liverpool the win. fukin hell thought we were gonna lose.
oh yes the big news Stoke City win.
haha Derby 0 - 1 Southampton ! Go on you reds !
read from a Russian news website today that Arshavin was sold to Spurs for 20 mil. True Or False ?
false. i doubt Arshavin will look for a moves to Spurs. going on the fact that his buddy Pavluychenko the Russian Striker said he didnt want to move to Spurs.
Luis Aragones loses his first league game in charge of Fenerbahce. ohh the media is already drilling him.
the russian press seems REALLY serious about Arshavin moving to Spurs
theres no word of an Arshavin deal over here.
theres news about Shevchanko to Milan. apparently the 2 sides have agreed on a deal.
Arsenal lost today to.
sheva is home. that is HUGE for the milanese.
Inter win the super cup i didnt watch the game but it went to penalties.
Besiktas Won YAY. again i was ripping my hair out we were playing an mediocore team and were losing 2-0 up until the 78th minute. then somehow we scored 3 goals. ahaha fukin great. they played the game at midnight cause it was soo damn hot. was 37degrees at midnight with something like 75% humidity. crazy.
Milan have completed the signing of Arsenal defender Philippe Senderos on a one year loan deal, with the option to make the move permanent next summer.-goal.com
still looking for confirmation on this though. but milan needed someone in the back so, hes better than favalli or simic or some of the other guys they were working with last year.
zambrotta
flamini
boriello
ronaldinho
sheva
senderos
abbiati (loan recall g)
vuidez (19y.o. Uruguayan f)
cardacio (21y.o. Uruguayan m)
atleast i cant blame milan for not being active this transfer market.
your right Milan have been active. its all about making the correct transfers though. we gonna have to see how Milan do this year.
God I hate being a Spurs fan. Supporting England and Spurs is about as depressing as being a football supporter can get.Quote:

and tottenham it seems love to shoot themselves in the foot.
senderos i don't rate too highly but for a 1 season fill in milan will do alright ...
so the champions league draw is upon us ... these are the pots
POT ONE
Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Barcelona, Arsenal, Lyon, Inter Milan, Real Madrid
POT TWO
Bayern Munich, PSV Eindhoven, Villarreal, Roma, FC Porto, Werder Bremen, Sporting Lisbon, Juventus
POT THREE
Marseille, Zenit St Petersburg, Steaua Bucharest, Panathinaikos, Bordeaux, Celtic, Basel, Fenerbahce
POT FOUR
Shakhtar Donetsk, Fiorentina, Atletico Madrid, Dynamo Kiev, CFR Cluj, Aalborg, Anorthosis Famagusta, Bate Borisov
fiorentina and atletico in pot is scary ... could possibly have 2 mega groups of death ... hoping bayern can avoid zenit, atletico, fiorentina and dynamo
anyone interested in a chelsea robinho kit? http://www.chelseamegastore.com/stor...search=robinho
i wonder who real will buy in the next 3 days.
and pavleyachenko (sp) is going to tottenham ive read. cant get one russian so they get the other. he will help.
but than again i just read something that said tottenham will only let berba leave if avshavin comes in. the saga continues.
no real stand out groups of death but groups D, F and H look tough. really any group that ended up wit fiorentina or Athletico were gonna be tough.
GROUP A: Chelsea, Roma, Bordeaux, CFR Cluj
GROUP B: Internazionale, Werder Bremen, Panathinaikos, Anorthosis Famagusta
GROUP C: Barcelona, Sporting Lisbon, Basel, Shakhtar Donetsk
GROUP D:Liverpool, PSV Eindhoven, Marseille, Atletico Madrid
GROUP E: Manchester United, Villarreal, Celtic, Aalborg
GROUP F: Lyon, Bayern Munich, Steaua Bucharest, Fiorentina
GROUP G:Arsenal, Porto, Fenerbahce, Dynamo Kiev
GROUP H: Real Madrid, Juventus, Zenit St Petersburg, Bate Borisov
Arsenal and United got tough groups.
arsenal are fucked...
hmm interesting group for Marseille, each team can end first or last (xept liverpool maybe)
There is no legit group of death. The only remote groups of death are F and H. For the rest if the top 2 don't come out its their own fault. In the two I mention I would not be suprised if 3 or all 4 out of the teams could possibly come through. The rest the two that should go through, should go through, ya dig.
**I guess for the other groups its not even the top 2. For a lot of them there is not even a top two. Its the top one. If arsenal doesnt go through they suck dick.
all british teams have a cosy group ... as always ... LOL @ united and arsenal have tough groups ... you kidding? ... i'd definately take their groups over lyon and fiorentina ... but seeing der bomber II playing against his old club and un finished business against lyon is too mouth watering
H is a tough one
A:Chelsea, Roma
B:Inter and ??? (prob werder, but wouldnt be surpised if it was any of the 3)
C:Barca and ???(wouldnt be suprised at any of the three coming out)
D:Liverpool and ??? (I give a slight edge to atheltico (just because i like them/players on their team) but it could be any of the three and I would not be suprised)
E:Man U and ??? (once again I tip Villareal, but I would not be suprised if any of the three came out)
F:Bayern better come out of this group or they suck, other than that I say Friorentina because they are an italian team (hopefully Gilas worthless ass is not playing a minute) but I really dont have a preference and could see any of the 3 coming out of this group
G:Arsenal (like i said, arsenal better come out of this group or they suck dick) after them its up in the air. but i really could see any team coming out of this group because so far arsenal are not geling right ya dig.
H:This is the "group of death" to me. not one for the ages or anything but you have real who have underachieved in the champions league the past bunch of years but is retooled. juve is finally back in the CL after a couple year absence and it is up in the air as what they can do against big teams outside of italy. Zenit proved they can beat big teams, as their 4-0 demolishion of bayern proved last year, but who knows if they loose Arshavin, and or it was just a 1 year wonder, it could be interesting. I dont think BB is shit or will do shit, but 3 teams that have a legit chance at moving through make this the most deathable of the groups.
This is my drunken ass forcast for the CL groups, put your groups up if your not as pussy.
Man Utd got a piss group. considering Nihats injured for half the season Villareal wont be as good as they should be. Chelsea got an easy group to.
Liverpool aint playing good either so thats a real dodgy group for us. getting Athletico in the group really does suck.
im interested to see how Inter do.. will they continue to choke under Jose??
Arsenal have a dodgy group to. this Fenerbahce team scares the crap out of me in the Turkish league. i think if Aragones gets it right they can be a real problem for Arsenal.
Zenit St Petersburg 2-1 Manchester United
A game of two halves in every sense of the phrase as Zenit controlled the first 45 minutes and United looked to creep back in for the second. The showpiece was marred by a cheating Paul Scholes who was sent off the pitch for punching the ball into the net in an attempt to bring the game back level...
Zenit is magnificient with duh arts and crafts.
memo to Paul Scholes... "You aint Maradona and never will be you ginger cunt"..
heard SWP is back at man city. way to waste 4 years of your life dog.
Wright-Phillips was a dickhead to move to chelsea in the first place. if he had stayed at City. he would be an England regular and seen as the most talented player in England.
Robihno stayed with Real, funny Chelsea already started to sell Robihno shirts fuked up..
yesterday i was watching the Koln-Karlsruhe game. it really sucks when a player faints in the middle of the game. Umit Ozat went down, and fuk when i watched it i thought he died. real sad cause the guys known as the Gentlemen and like his done loads of charity work in Turkey. thank fuk he was ok.
apparently he fainted due to dehydration, then when he fell on the floor he swallowed his tongue..
^so they waited until they knew he was ok before restarting?
Was Cristphophe Daum really crying?
That was horrible to see though, you cant really restart a match if all the players think that their teammate might of just died.
yeah they waited until the 4th official gave the thumbs up from the sideline.
yeah Daum was crying and so was the goalie Mondragon. Both have known the guy for years, Daum was his coach at Fenerbahce, and Mondragon played against him many many times in Turkey.
haha another season of the draw is upon inter ...
hoffenheim got smashed by leverkusen 5-2 ... surprisingly they lead the league up until that ...
we got hertha tomorrow and need a win to kick start the season off ...
