Football The 2012 / 2013 Season Thread

[DaGaffer]

Personally to me he semi retired when he left Man U.

Not really, he won La Liga, and generally had a credible career in Spain. Once he went to the States, then it was all a big wind down.

Ronaldo to Chelsea. Chelsea will walk league next year.

No idea where you're getting that from, but I'd be hugely surprised if that happened. I doubt he's going anywhere. The "Rooney to Arsenal" rumours are more likely than that, and they're not very likely at all.

So, Wembley tomorrow.

If we win Cobblers will be playing Wolves next season. Who would have thunk it a couple of years ago!

The Spain part of his career was Ok but nothing more, to me he could of been one the best but brand Beckham became more important and thus his football while steady at times generally waned over time after Man U.

In my mind he joins the ranks of someone like Owen where there was great hope but in the reality of retirement he seems to benefit from an English multiplier effect, one that Rooney will also join if he doesn't rapidly improve soon.

A Utd contact I have, has confirmed this. He has been spot on so far with Pogba, Fryers, Rvp, Morrison.

Who were all either going to or leaving United. Why would this contact know about Ronaldo going to a team who don't even have a manager for next season? Very simple, if you have confidence in this, put a bet on. It seems to me that people are adding 2+2 and getting 5....

 

[Embattle]

I've read the odd thing about Ronaldo and Chelsea but personally to me it is either Man U or another country should he leave RM.

 

[Aoami]

I'd say if Fergie was there it would be United or nothing, but times have changed yo

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Still baffled by Santi not making the team of the year but Hazard getting in ahead of him. Madness.

 

[Embattle]

Or Mata

If you mean Mata then the stats you have posted speak for themselves. Minutes per goal and minutes per chance.

No, I mean Hazard. Everyone knows Mata's been miles ahead of Hazard, and Santi's been just as good. But Hazard gets in team of the year? Qué?

 

[Raven]

Oh, dunno then!

While I think Cazorla is an excellent player, I think what has let him down this year has been that - when I have watched at least - he hasn't produced his best form against the best teams. I work with two Arsenal fans and they both described him as anonymous in big games more than a few times this year. With that said, you could level the same criticism at many other players at Arsenal (and other teams). Personally I would have had Cazorla over Hazard in the TOTY, the only thing I can think is that they opted for two central players in Mata and Carrick plus two wide players in Bale and Hazard.

Nice moves by Falcao

What is up with Ronaldo tonight?

 

[megadave]

Because Hazard does flicks and skills and fancy shit that looks amazing in highlights, these awards are always about hype. Otherwise you'd get the likes of lampard in there every year for outright efficiency.

What's the comparison between mata and santi over all competitions?

Doh.

Not the best start.

Stoke really do have some prize cunts there. A pigs head in a Muslim players locker is meant to be banter? That really is out of order.

 

[Aoami]

He is a rasta, it even says it in the article

 

[soze]

Plenty of reports saying he is a Muslim too. And his bird mentions religious beliefs too. Either way they are still cunts

 

[Raven]

That club needs to cease to exist.

 

[DaGaffer]

Doesn't matter either way, Rastas don't eat pork either. I think his girlfriend is the moslem.

Well that happened .

 

[Everz]

Amen. Horrible club that were nothing till they were in the Prem. Can't wait to play Port Vale, the only club that is worthy of note from that cesspit of an area. Detest Stoke fans, most of them were United till 3-4 years ago, back when this myth that they were 'great fans' didn't exist and the Britannia was always half empty, even on promotion day they got no more then 20,000.

Cunts, the lot of em.

 

[Turamber]

It's been deferred by a season. Sadly he's not expecting that they'll be promoted... :O

I can confirm, I live in Stafford, and before Stoke got into the Prem most of their "fans" were either United, Liverpool, or didn't follow football at all. If there is any justice in the world they will get relegated for the next few seasons and end up playing local derbies with Stafford Rangers.
