word. i really respect the way arsne runs the gooners. same with munich i suppose. i feel buying players on credit and going into debt is almost like cheating. clubs are using players that they dont in fact technially own. they spread payments out on players for years. man losers take the cake for me. i do not respect how they do business at all. not only do they have massive debt, they are still constantly trying to snap up young talent from home grown clubs as cut rate prices, so the small clubs cant really bank on their investment, not to mention they are always in the mix for buying big name players. when you need to sit tevez because there is no room on the pitch for him that is fucked up.
that's why the bundesliga is so good from an administration point of view ... clubs just can't find themselves in the level of debt most EPL, serie a or la liga teams do
borussia dortmund was a pubic hair away from never being heard of again but they managed to fix themselves ... teams like man u, liverpool, chel$ki, real madrid etc... wouldn't exist in the bundesliga
like lol how the hell can real madrid be in soooo much debt and offer man u 150m for ronaldo?
Terrible Sports Editor Wants To Lead With Beckham, AC Milan Story

PHOENIX—Lousy Arizona Ledger weekly sports section editor Gene Crewdson "went with his [idiotic] gut" once again Thursday, deciding to ignore what may be the biggest steroid scandal yet and lead with David Beckham's decision to leave the U.S. and play for AC Milan. "'Beckham Bends It Back Overseas' is our story, boys," Crewdson said to his staff of writers, all of whom stared back at him, mouths agape, for nearly a minute. "Big-name celebrity doing controversial big-time things with a big color picture on the cover. Soccer's the sport of the future. This is obviously what we run with." When gently reminded of recent baseball news, Crewdson responded that nobody cares about steroids anymore, it's not baseball season, and in this economy you do not want to risk missing the big story.http://www.theonion.com/content/them...terminator.gif
ya for vandegay. a not totally useless contribution to the football thread.
the beckham thing is real news because its actually happening.
the steriod stuff is bullshit because its all stuff in the past people are just dragging up. they are talking about shit going down in 01. who gives a shit. they like a sport full of sterioded freaks. big suprise americans like a lot of stupid shit like that.

Common place over there. fuck knows why :?
peace wherz..
apoligises for comeing across agrressive and hateful..
did u see the england team made of villa players? thats the reason why the wont do shit.. england and villa.. their team hasnt the players that technicaly control and dominate a match. same as england cant ever do that..
people watching everton v villa today.. will see which team has the flair and class..
its been quite obvious when we have matched up the lats 2 seasons.. 1 team dominates the other counters..
england are shit
spain are class.
anyone in the uk got to watch the argentina france match? any links for goals or highlights..
i have to say.. barca are the best side ive ever seen play. the work ethic (besides hlbe last nite) this whole season has been amazing. knew after their 1st few games of the season if they kept up what they was doing.. they would rape everyone in europe.. man u barca final would be fun..
spain has later kick of times.. as its a hotter climate their.. they work later in the day.. mornings usually off.. or late starts. thats what happens when u have a hotter climate..
i need to visit wtc more often..!
MILAN DERBY!!!!!!!!!!!!
If Inter win Milan are out of the title challenge.
Great game of football.
hope we see Italian footballbackonour screens more regulalry now.
was a really good game. Adriano's goal was funny, clear handball but got away with it. Inter had loads of chances to bury the game but didnt happen. Milan coming back was good, Inzaghi is a hilarious player. the disallowed goal he scored was fuckin amazing, the sik cross by Pato and the volley by Pippo. shame he was offside, though he was offside on nearly every run he made. Typical Pippo and he always argued with the ref.
quality game.
they showed the highlights for the Juve game aswell, unlucky for Juve, Del Piero had a free-kick which hit the top and then the side of the bar.
clearly dissapointed with the results of the game. means we are most likley playing for a free pass into champs league. but o well. inter are good because they have so much depth. we reallllllly miss nesta back there, as was seen today.
but adriano looked to be back at his best. the dinho made some really fucking nice passes, starting to look more comfortable dribbling with pace too. thats what has been missing with him at milan. his half field runs, dribbling several players and than golllassss. soon hopefully.
i was disinterested in football over the weekend. man u are looking like such a better team, all be it against weak opposition... but its annoying them getting a free ride through the fa cup(and the carling cup), playing lower ranked teams....
im just waiting until sunday, so we can beat man city again... to train for real madrid.
