Football The 2011/2012 Season Thread

I'm kidding, it's said he isn't suited to the Spainish game and more to the English.

 

[eksdee]

Keeping everything crossed that is 100% the case and Barca don't take him back.

 

[Everz]

That said.. Barce/Real both effectively 'loan' players to other clubs with the buyout clauses and then just buy then back when they see fit .

Should bury the hatchet tbh.. best striker Scotland has got.

Interesting to see him take that option, but hope he gets a farewell appearance from AVB.

 

[ileks]

There's another article on the BBC site about England basing themselves in poland for the Euros. Why don't we just fucking move to Ukraine? 6 months+ isn't exactly short notice.

 

[Aoami]

Anelka could be going to a much better team, possibly for more money. Very strange move. I'm surprised no LOLRUSSIA club came in for him offering £200k a week.

 

[Corran]

Surprised that mercenary stayed at Chelsea for so long. Now he can miss barn doors in china

 

[eksdee]

Anelka has been brilliant for Chelsea. Sad to see him go in a lot of ways, but I think it's about time. Good luck to him wherever he ends up.

 

[Madmaxx]

yeah I thought he wouldnt get another chance moving to bolton, then he had a good run of form and turned into a big fish in a small pond; surprised to see chelsea go for him and even more surprised to see him put in some good performances at times.

 

[caLLous]

I think City are going to rape Bayern Munich, very attacking line-up against a mucho weakened Munich side.

So... mon Napoli!

 

[Cerb]

*Gulp*

 

[JingleBells]

Oh dear

C'mon Basel!

 

[Ch3tan]

not the best start really....

 

[Sydrik]

Its far too early to start laughing. I do worry where Utd's goals will come from, Rooney has looked out of sorts last few weeks to me. Plus Basel are getting a lot of room in the middle of the Utd half

 

[ileks]

Shaqiri looks quality

 

[Cerb]

Ohmagawd Rooney you tit.

 

[ileks]

What a miss..

The pitch is shocking around the goal though to be fair

 

[caLLous]

That was sexual from Nani....

 

[Shagrat]

Rooneys going to get sent off before the end of this match

 

[Cerb]

Nani looks really up for it. Hopefully he can do summat

 

[Everz]

Shaqiri is a beeeeeast .

 

[Cerb]

I know I'm going to sound the typical biased fan here...but Basel are getting a lot of very soft calls.

 

[Ch3tan]

I think we'll score, but I also think we'll concede. 2-1 and out I feel

 

[Everz]

Come on Basel

 

[Cerb]

Park doesn't look at the races at all.

 

[Everz]

Rooney temprement is lol.. proof he'll never suit a disciplined role.

 

[Shagrat]

Nani's looking Man Utds best chance of a goal tonight

 

[Shagrat]

interesting way to clear the ball, by blasting it off your own crossbar!

 

[Bahumat]

I just wish when we have the ball and manage to hold it for more than 5 seconds outside their area, we pass it about and try a through ball into their box. seem so one dimensional as we always switch it to the flanks and cross
