Football The 2010/2011 Season Thread

It's also incredible for the fans when you buy a player for a huge fee, and he starts performing instantly You wouldn't know much about that anyway, not lately

Chelsea do remember what a league title looks like though.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

According to Opta, Stoke have not dominated possession in any game in three complete Premier League seasons.

Disgraceful. Get fucking rid.

I don't think the so-called "ash cloud" affecting airspace over the UK is ash at all. Man City have just dusted off their trophy cabinet to put the FA cup in.

bad dum

Over 100 goals from two brilliant players. Almost 200 goals between them in just two seasons, sensational.

 

[Corran]

Fergi come out and said we got De Gea apparently... w00t. May be young but he could be a great long term replacement. Something that be much appreciated if he performs anywhere near VDS

 

[Cerb]

Shame VDS couldn't be around for a while to have a posative influence on him :/

 

[megadave]

de gea is absolute quality already, i was hoping you'd get stekelenberg instead

 

[tierk]

The odd one there is Ahmed Khalil.. tierk know if hes any good other then on FM?

I saw a few clips of him playing when in between channels here but tbh i couldnt tell you much about his playing style /skills but as with most players from the Middle East, would struggle in Europe.

Iran had a player called Karim Bagheri, who was considered something really special over here. He played in Germany and England. He played 3 or 4 seasons in Germany and had a stint at Charlton Atheltic (one season).

I can remember one interview with Alan Curbishley where he was asked about Karim and the best thing he could say about him was that he was very good at playing Ping Pong

Bitter much? Wouldn't expect any more than this trite rubbish from a Liverpool fan anyway.

Did anyone really believe a player who has a very specific style of play that is unsuited to the way the team he is joining plays would work out in the short-term? No, I think not.

Does anyone really believe the deluded scousers will have anything to cheer about next year other than fighting for a Europa League spot again? No, I think not.

Keep believing in your shit club, it's entertaining. You're just a red Newcastle these days.

Pot kettle black?

ps. Lucas average? Dominates Chelseas midfield at least!
pss. Here's another stat for you, if Liverpool would have played Chelsea every game of the season we would have won the league undefeated

He's also seems to be forgetting the arrival and instant impact of king David!

 

[eksdee]

What does that make Bran then? Duke Ivan? Actually I like that. ALL HAIL THE DUKE.

Pot kettle black?

You should try looking up the definition of the word bitter. Regardless, I've nothing to be bitter about - a shit season for us equated to 2nd place and CL football next season. A season that went as expected for Liverpool ended with no European football next season and the false hope that next season (like every season for your club) will be 'THE SEASON', when in fact you'll end up losing to Wolves at home and bottling it away to Sunderland or whatever it is mid-table clubs like yours do to end up in such a pathetic state.

Keep polishing your trophy cabinet full of former glories, and keep hanging on, because nothing is going to change. As I said before, you're just a red Newcastle.

Wenger sweet on Benzema | Sky Sports | Football | Premier League | News

Hasn't been great at Madrid, but he'd certainly be an upgrade to the likes of Chamakh and Bender!

Useless goss: Bender just bought a new Audi from the dealership in Gunnersbury where my girlfriend works. Wonder how serious he really is about leaving? That said, if Benzema comes in he becomes 4th choice striker and I can't see him liking that.

I think despite Benzema's poor time at Madrid, if Wenger makes him the main man alongside Van Persie (when he actually plays), he can still be a great player.

Arsenal ride to Barcelona’s rescue | The Sun |Sport|Football

See I told you Arsenal would be involved in the Champions League final And queue the rumours of a secret deal for Cesc being signed

 

[Ch3tan]

According to Opta, Stoke have not dominated possession in any game in three complete Premier League seasons.

Disgraceful. Get fucking rid.

Oh no! They don't play passing football, that's not fair. They should all only pass the ball and not tackle.

Seems Arsenal fans are worse at being whining little bitches than Platini.

 

[Ch3tan]

Oh and Benzema is only leaving if Aguero comes in to Real. Jose's finally got Benzema playing for him, and scoring goals.

 

[Ormorof]

hehehe yeah what good is possesion if you dont win?

im pretty sure most teams in premiership would trade possesion for wins any day

 

[Calaen]

Oh and Benzema is only leaving if Aguero comes in to Real. Jose's finally got Benzema playing for him, and scoring goals.

Aguero said he would never join RM. I guess we'll be seeing him in the premiership!

 

[Ch3tan]

Yeah, and Real said they don't want to sign him - a lot. So he'll be there on Friday.

not watched much of them in la liga, didn't realise they both play as out and out strikers now, ronaldo's goals are all in the area mostly taps ins 10 pens 6 free kicks and 2 non set pieces outside the area (1 v gomes LOL)


messi scored much nicer goals liek flicks and lobs ect but still laods of taps ins and only a few moments of magic to turn the game, both of them recive excellent service, niether of them carry the team atall they're just goalscoreres

not that that's a bad thing, just niether of them seem to light up the pitch anymore (from the goals they scored, obviously dunno what else they've done assist wise)


was expecting some real magical goals but kinnda disapointed in the ammount of fifa goals (back post tap ins)

 

[Ch3tan]

They don't play as out and out strikers gohan, those vids are misleading. They both tend to run in from midfield. Attacking mid-fielders would be more accurate, maybe supporting striker.

Xabi Alonso on why he left LFC. No surprises in this article really...

For me this was the beginning of the end for Rafa - with the benefit of hindsight off course.

 

[Ch3tan]

Don't worry, Rafa will be back soon - to ruin Chelski! Cannot wait

:lol: now that would be a fine sight, i can just imagine next seasons footie thread and posts from all the CFC fans.

In other news, seems Aquilani situation to be resolved in the coming two days - heading to Juve, probably for a reduced fee.

Yeah

Hasn't Benzema has been quite good since january? Thats what i've heard at least

 

[Vasconcelos]

hehe sum1 knows Real very well....

Yeah

Hasn't Benzema has been quite good since january? Thats what i've heard at least

He has been great indeed. 26 goals this season and he never got into the starting eleven during the first half of the season.

His problem is always his attitude. He needs more hot blood in those veins and gt rid of his passive attitude.

If Agüero signs for Real, either Benzema or Higuain will leave, BUT: Benzema is one of Florentino's lovechild and Higuain is the preferred option for Mourinho.
