Football The 2009/2010 Season Thread

Technically pique is better, but as a defender Evans is very good. We will have to agree to disagree on this one, Pique is further along in his development than Evans.

BREAKING NEWS! According to Sky sports, FIFA have asked the ROI to be present at the 2010 world cup as an extra team - no further updates as to what this means just yet.

To clear up the above, it is actually the Irish FA that have asked FIFA to expand the world cup to include them. Story here: Sky Sports | Football | News | Blatter confirms Ireland request

Evans is decent and thats about it. I will be extremely surprised if he is anything more than a squad type player, rather than first choice centre half.

Quite laughable really. Will be amazed if it happens. Apparently Costa Rica (I think it's them) are requesting something now because they conceded an off side goal.

They should get over it and move on. They didn't take their chances and lost as a result. They also didn't automatically qualify, how many chances do they want.

However, if it were the other way around, I am sure France would be accomadated in some way.

This is what I read about Pique's leaving Man Utd.

"Alex Ferguson got rid of Pique because he had no pace. That is why he played Ronaldo as the main striker in the Champions League final".

I don't know if Pique is slow, but he did a good job of marking Ronaldo so it's egg on Ferguson's face.

(back story on fifa i played as united when they had ronaldo cos him upfront was just insane, i played 3 CB so evans played and my mate i played agaisnt always slated evans, everytime he said how shit evans was i'd go score like 2-3 goals in 2 mins)

 

[Ormorof]

woo hull arent loosing all the time (and i have internet again, briefly)

oh and johnny evans isnt great (could be who knows, a few years ago people were saying pique was rubbish!), but beeb rumor page reckons SAF might go for Micah Richards

 

[faw]

How good has Puyol been today?

Vidic could learn so much from the greatman if he moves to Barca in summer.

I don't care how good Puyol is, he is a cheater and a disgrace to football.

In fact, I have no respect for any of the Barca prima donnas.

Actually, I have no respect for Barca. Since when has a club, who has little history in comparison with the true European greats, adopted such an elitist and snobbish attitude towards football. It makes me sick just thinking about it.

Because we are so good, we can be elitist

 

[faw]

The thing is, you are not so good. This is the very elitist attitude I speak of. I don't wish to waste my time discussing this with you.

Well, Messi won the Ballon d'Or, Ronaldo came second, Xavi third and Iniesta fourth. Not surprised, Messi was in the form of his life last year. But Ronaldo is better and I think if he can get back to his best the Ballon d'Or will be his.

 

[Lethul]

I think the question really is, what did Kaka do to warrant his place?

Well we are top of la liga, current holders of the champions league, completing the treble last season and have just beaten the team who have spent more on 1 player, than our entire 1st team cost. 3 of our players were in the top 4 Balloon D'or places.

So please tell me, why arent we so good?

If you knew anything about Barcelona, which you dont, you would know this isnt a club built on elitism like Real madrid, but you know fuck all about football anyway.

I look forward to your next goodbye thread.

 

[CorNokZ]

Well we are top of la liga, ...

LOL CANT SAY WE AS YOU DONT LIVE IN BARCELONA!!

hurr durr

Like Barce with Cesc?

 

[Marc]

Like Barce with Cesc?

There is a difference between tapping up and destabalising someone

 

[megadave]

How can you say Ronaldo cost more than Barcelona's squad?

Ibrah - 69m
Henry - 24m
Alves - 40m
Chygrnskiy - 25m
Keita - 14m
Toure - 9m
Abidal - 15m

And several 2-10m im guessing.

Ownage.

 

[megadave]

Forget about Milito, that's another 20m euros apparently :O

Not a shot since Barcelona obviously have the best youth ethic in the world. Bringing through Valdes, Puyol, Pique, Xavi, Iniesta and Messi is an immense achievement but still don't go shouting about Ronaldo's price especially considering how badly you got conned for Zlatan

 

[Marc]

I wasnt being literal, but yes, fair comment.

3 Real madrid players cost the same as the current champions league holders squad then

 

[Marc]

lol, just lol.

............

Ownage.
