not as much but still yes. having a chance at winning the serie A on the last day, and getting to the semis of the CL is a lot better than Madrids exit in the round of 16 of the CL and not even having a chance to win the leauge. but in the end winning nothing is still winning nothing.
And juventas had to cheat to win the leuge. That shit aint correct man

Without Gallas, our defence has a big hole in it. Maybe you think im over-reacting but im not. Gallas is one of the best defenders in the world, hes so underrated. I hope he stays, hes a key part of the squad and i would imagine it would cost alot to sign him.Quote:

You must ask yourself, is it Chelsea ruining the league or the other teams just not performing as well as they should? Since when do Arsenal lose 11 games in a season?
every team has to rebuild now and then. its just arsenals turn. the problem with the new chelsea is, with the current owner, they will never have to worry about that. they can consistantly replace old/hurt/underachieving players with the best that money can buy. other teams just dont have that luxury.
and i agree with you, i think gallas is a very good player, hence my want for him to move to milan. but youll have roberto carlos to replace him so no worries...8O
Fuck Carlos, I would take Gallas over pretty much any defender in the world, hes really that good!
Gotta disagree there, Barca have more than 2 world class players. Puyol, Xavi, Deco, Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Messi... these players could pretty much walk into any team in the world.Quote:

crouch is dope. way to many people dog him. he obviously is not gonna look all flashy like a ronaldo and people hold that against him i think. but his size is an asset that not many teams cannot boast at having.
only problem with crouch is he aint consistent, he will stuggle against solid defences. and the man cant head the ball.
i actually prefer gallas to terry, by far your most consistant defender over the years, the only reason terry looks so good is cause gallas and makelele make sure he doesn't lose defenders and give him a certain amount of protectionQuote:

last week to join in the fantasy football leagues we're doing.
you can join the Mcdonalds one or the Metro one or both if you haven't already, the details are in this thread a couple of pages back or just ask.
peace
John Obi Mikel. I dont know much about him other than chelski paying 22 million to man u for him and another 10 or so to some norwegian club for his services. Is he really that good?
And I dont get why all these players want to go to chelsea, especially the younger guys. They stand almost no chance of getting pt. Hes going to a midfeild with cole, lampard, ballack, makelele, essien, phillips, duff, robben. Thats 8 midfielders that would start at probably any other club in the world almost, why on earth does he think hell play a lick. Prolly wants to get paid and shit but doesnt he love the game at all to want to play and win trophies on his own?
right, i don't understand those players who go to Chelsea...
and whitey, you forgot all the young players, Chelsea got Lassine Diarra, which is too good to be forgotten.
but it's modern football. when you have the money, you get the players.
so, you don't like defensive midfielders ;)Quote:

chelsea just like to splash the cash on players. look at shaun wright phillips £20million and not even started a game. now with players like ballack and lampard in midfield no young player is getting in that squad. word is that makalele will be dropped as well, essien will replace him. but then they got this player named kolou as well. and it seems drogba aint gonna leave. i also see Duff leaving, and theres a possibility that Robben might also go. at the moment a player that goes to chelsea hoping to play is gonna make the worst decision in his life.
FrenchShin... I think attacking midfielders will score more points than defensive ones in fantasy football terms, so i dont really mess with defensive mids. But when i play Football Manager, I always have 2 wingers and 2 defensive midfielders, im a brilliant manager, trust me ;)
Obi Mikel was signed for £16m, £12m going to Man U for some stupid reason, and £4m going to Lyn. And lets not get carried away with it Han, Wright Phillips started 15 games last year and came on as sub for many too. When Makelele retires we have Lassana Diarra to take his place, Kalou is more of a winger. Robben wont leave, im pretty sure we'll line up with 4 wingers in the squad which will be; Cole, Kalou, Robben and Wright Phillips. Duff may possibly leave, unless they loan Kalou back to Feynoord for a season which is possible. Jose said Drogba is staying and will start upfront with Shev next season which will be intersted. Crespo said he wont sign a new contract so he'll leave in a year i think. And sadly Gudjohnsen has been told he can leave, i hear Barca are after him which is a good thing for his career.
But i feel you, we need to stop it with the spending now and concentrate on bringing though youth players. I just hope we do it properly and not the way Wenger has been doing it over the years... stealing the best youngsters and claiming them as his own.
Defoe should go to the world cup. drop theo walcott or a keeper.
defoe's a back up if rooney cant play. defoe was on the plane when the team was leaving for germany. so far no news on rooney's mythical toe, english media are over doing this whole rooney saga. it will have a negative affect on the rest of the players because the message given out is that without rooney they cant win. as soon as rooney got injured, the betting shops dropped englands odds on winning.
theres a lot of injuries happening, gattuso, zambrotta and nesta. baros is also doubtful for first match.
who watched brazil's match with new zealand, was it me or did they take the piss out of new zealand. kaka's goal was killer, the pace he had.
unluck for cisse`. breaks leg, out of the cup.
looks like rooney is making the trip to germany too. dont know what game he will feature in though.
yea and unluck for Marseille who were gonna sign him ... Im mad.Quote:

Lets hope he recovers as quick as he did after the leg break against Blackburn..
real sad what happened to cisse, the guy deserves better luck. such a shame. govou is his replacement for the french squad.
rooney's also fit, but i dont think he will be match fit, he will definetly miss the group stage and second round it is a risk to play him in the quarter finals. in the semi-final and final he wont be match fit.
forget all about this rooney thing, England can still do very well without him
i hope Cisse recovers soon too, so L'pool can sell him and get some cash
yeah shame about cisse..
haha wtf, are anybody watching the ceremony? Hell, it's just weird IMO.. Why cant they just stop that and start the game!!
yeah all that shit is just a waste of time, i can't watch the match cause its on at like 12:30 here and ive got an uni exam tmr. i'll catch the replay though.
The opening ceremony isn't even on live here in Britain by the look of things. Nice to see Anglo-German relations being strong as ever heh
they were banging huge bells with their dicks... mad funny german folk.
2 crackers by ze germans. good opening game.
Damn, I really hoped Costa Rica would make it a draw today. Paolo was one of my favorites when he played for Derby. Germany's defense seems like a big problem, they can't play that way against the better teams.
germany need to fix their defense if costa rica can score two goals, other teams will walk by the germans. lahm's and frings scored two amazing goals. but looking at frings goal that new ball did look awkward in the air. no wonder goalkeepers dont like it, the curl on it is amazing. gonna see a lot of long range goals this world cup, a good game though, although defensively both teams were shit.
the defence wasnt as bad as what youse are making out,yeah they chuffed up 2 or 3 times but overall they tracked back pretty well and cover defence was fair, just a few problems with thecentral defenders,they seemed nervous on the occasion,especially mertesacker,omg twice he chuffed up balls in the box and should of been punished, but i think today was more of a get the occasion out of the way now its down to business, especially for the young ones, i think theyll rise up, they know they wont get away with shit like that,theyll go up a level against polska,speaking of, poland was shit house, sooooo much hype was made about them,just like 4 years ago, and just like 4 years ago their gonna choke, its like 5 world cups in a row or sum shit theyve failed to score a goal in the opening game, so far 3 top notch goals, frings goal aaaaaaahhhhhhhh sublime, still cut he left bayern :(
yeah poland were shit, ecaudor owned them. watching that match it never felt like poland were gonna score, even if they dominated the second half. whenever ecaudor came forward you felt like they were gonna do something with the ball. and they did twice two well worked team goals.
Great win to Ecuador, I hoped they would win, definitely a great team, I hope they'll reach the quater-finals, haha..
But tommorows the big day! Cant wait for England's match!!!
Frings' goal was a boomer, nice start to the tournament.
did u ninjas saw poland and ecuador 2day lmao
poland got owned hard
