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.

I dont understand the reasoning behind Man utd buying Kagawa who played behind a lone striker at Borussia Dortmund for all those years then buy another striker. I dont see Kagawa playing on the wings or in the middle alongside carrick or scholes. They should have bought a traditional central midfielder. I think that RVP and Rooney will play in the EPL more often than in the Champions League, unless one of them pushes to the left to accommodate Kagawa.

Yeah totally agree with that, although I have a feeling that kagawa might be played as part of a 2 man central midfield as he did in a lot of the pre season.
I think with the current team there is a lot of good players that can all play in more than 1 position and I can see the front 4 or 5 attacking players constantly switching with each other to confuse the opposition, kinda like when when we had Rooney, Ronnie and Tevez.
I think we will see a few different formations during games.
Anyway, I'm sure sir Alex knows what he's doing lol.

Well Fergie's said that he didn't intend on purchasing RvP, as in he didn't think he would be available and if he was he wouldn't be coming to Utd, so that's why Kagawa was purchased first.

Will be interesting to see how Fergie decides to play it.

I'm just hoping Millwall don't lose another bloody game, away to Peterborough on Tuesday. Gotta win that one!

Well you can't argue with that! We have had a few decent Irish players over the years! We've got fordey in goal at the moment and maik Taylor who's northern Irish as his No 2
