Football The 2010/2011 Season Thread

[Wonk]

I wouldn't go to the same amount of footy games, if our prices were like the english.

Speak for yourself.. I watch every home game and as many away games as possible during the season

where?

 

[CorNokZ]

B2 ofc

In the hundreds of live sporting games I have attended. Not once has it ever crossed my mind to log on to the internet from my phone at half time to post on a forum. Nor has it ever occured to anyone else I know.

The more likely scenario is he trying to save face after being questioned about not going to the game when he could have just said "I didnt go".

every saints game i go to i get on my phone at half time and check all the other scores, not a massive leap to post on a forum really (i don't support saints i just go cos thier close and got a few mates with season tickets)

Aston Villa lose captain Stilian Petrov for two months | Football | guardian.co.uk

This leaves us relying on Nigel Mediocre, Steve 'Invisible Man' Sidwell and Stephen 'Overrated' Ireland. Argh. Being below Albion hurts, without Petrov we'll probably sink even lower.

What a stupid view to take by the writer there -implying that spending more on wages makes you better?

Let Man City spend what they want.

I was surprised that our wage to turnover ration was better than Arsenal's though. I know that's because we have a higher turnover, but still a surprise.

 

[cHodAX]

Quite amazed United's wage bill is only 46% of turnover, when I stop and think of how much actual income is though it does make sense.

DONT WATCH IF EASILY UPSET

Salamanca player has heart attack at the weekend. Thankfully he was resucitated on the pitch and taken to hospital and thankfully, as of writing this is fine and might even play again. If it wasnt for the betis doctor he might not be here.

That pretty horrific, glad he's going to be ok.

Reports say he wont play sports ever again but hes still alive.

Why isnt Wayne Rooney on the ballon d'or shortlist? And how come there are only 2 players on it from the best league in the world? (Im not counting Gyan because he didnt play in the premierleague during the period that this relates to) Even the german league has more representations :S

 

[Madmaxx]

Because its a team game and whilst messi can run rings around randoms liks he's at school still, the prem league is the height of competitive leagues; a bit like the cricket IPL everyone wants to play with the best. Just look at Ronaldo playing great for United then going to Madrid, and pretty much failing so far. Imo

 

[Wonk]

yep, he's failing.

Remind me again what happened last time Messi played against the creme de la creme of English football in man united Ran rings round randoms you say?

Thats why Ronaldo left united. As you say, wanted to play with the best, but because hes now playing against better players, he didnt manage to score as many goals as he did for united when he was up against randoms in his first season

 

[Vasconcelos]

He just scored 4 goals last saturday......

- Current Top scorer and most goal assists of the current season in La Liga
- Current top scorer among all the big EU leagues (10 goals)
- 33 goals in 35 matches last year
- 43 goals in 45 games as real madrid player (improving real Ronaldo club's record)

Failing? wtf??

Same thing happened to Staale Solbakken and look at him now. Got a team in the Champions League and top of our league!

Madmaxx, please never ever again help against Marc's blatant trolling. You leave us all no choice but to side with Marc

Ronaldo is on fire at Real. Granted he's only playing against shite teams, barring Valencia. But the man is destroying the opposition, he's on the best form of his life so far.

If he carries on this form, he might walk away with the Ballon D'or. Granted its for last season but as Chodax once pointed out, doesnt always work like that. if the captains and managers do base it on last season its gonna be between Messi and Sniejder imo

Xavi deserves it far more than those 2.

 

[Talivar]

If its for last year Ronaldo wouldnt deserve it anymore than rooney or lampard and co ect IMO.

Couldn't argue with either of those.

 

[Shagrat]

Nope, Sneijder of the two would be my fav to get it I think.
