The Footy Megathread!

[Horhay]

Well we keep finding more and more fans, garlad you are just adding to the group. So let's keep all football related content in this thread since we are small group of fans who actually follow we can't make threads that only one person will reply. Anyways Scott, Baliey, Dattebayo and myself all follow pro football. The same people in addition to Bravesfan and jrocca have/play FIFA09.

To answer your question from the other thread, yes I do follow. I don't have a particular team in the EPL, but I enjoy watching the games. However I am liking Liverpool this year, I think if they don't win it now they won't in a long time! they are finally reaching that talent threshold and it's their time! Torres is in a fantastic level and Benitez is having no issues with players so what else can I say? ManU is finally losing grip. Chelsea is a mess I think, they keep buying players and more players that bring a huge ego and that's why the teams is so inconsistent! the egos that team has will not let them find their rhythm. Arsenal has a relatively young team that will only get better and I keep reading everywhere that they might lose Fabregas this next summer....

I used to watch plenty of the Spanish league, but I lost GolTV which used to show all the games every weekend. Fox Sports channel now shows the EPL and the Serie A Italian league which is not bad, but not the same.

 

[Horhay]

No, I just haven't had time to update the scores of the weekend.

Damn I am going to miss the Fiorentina v Liverpool today.

 

[Scoot87]

you didnt miss much they lost 2-0 lol

Arsenal won 2-0

 

[Horhay]

I saw the scores last night. Seems like Barca also had an easy night.

barca always have it easy still think they got ripped off selling eto though

Of course they did! Eto plus 25 million seriously?! they are stupid.

they are stupid lol inter got a good deal

you like my sig lol

 

[Horhay]

they are stupid lol inter got a good deal

you like my sig lol

yup I thought that was a stupid move, in Inter everyone played to Ibra in Barca everyone plays to Messi. So far the explosiveness of Ibra is a bit nonexistent. 25 million plus Eto is stupid!

 

[Scoot87]

Well time will tell what happens i guess and then we can see. I dont honestly see Barca winning la liga though. I just think Real will. I may be being a bit biased because i like ronnie, kaka and benzema.

We'll see, Real is depending too much of Kaka and Ronaldo. There's always a way to beat them there's no one like Messi

i tell you what barca vs real this year is going to be a great game i cant wait

 

[Scoot87]

Anyone been watching any games lately?

 

[MacDaddyOJack]

Only game I have watched recently was in the MLS. It was New England vs. Columbus for the last remaining playoff spot. Not an overly great game, but not too bad.

I did see that Real Madrid was beaten by a second division team 4-0 the other day though

 

[Horhay]

I just saw the scores yesterday of that Madrid spanking, that coach is freakin garbage! he couldn't keep Riquelme in line what made the big wigs of the team think he can handle 20 bigger egos at Madrid? haha their possibly 200 million on the field could not salvage the defeat! haha!

BTW I saw Arsenal eliminate Liverpool last night! good game!

Yeah was a good game we had all our young players out aswell, which was good.

Im convinced he will be sacked in Jan if Real do not pick it up. they ahve failed so far to beat any big teams. Im looking forward to the Barca vs Real game.

 

[Horhay]

Tell me about it! I read somewhere that Guti insulted Pellegrini at Real. I am telling you that coach is garbage, he couldn't handle a team with lesser egos so is just stupid to bring him to a team with bigger egos.

I dont think its the manager, its more the players and thier attitudes to be hoenst.

How many players at say barcelone do you see that happening with. Its because at Real they all thinkt hey are the best. to be honest the team looks poo without Ronaldo he carrys them.

Yeah but you need a good coach that can handle the team, without leadership it will just sink fast!

Anyways I hear Sunderland is looking for this 20 yr old in Mex. Also I read about Wenger's Wonderkid lol that 16yr old kid in Mex that the Gunners are following.
