Football The 2012 / 2013 Season Thread

Owen's retiring :< fuck you football FUCK YOU

 

[eksdee]

He retired years ago, it's just finally official.

 

[Marc]

Even worse with Dave Whelan coming out and saying he got the ball "clean as a whistle", and that he expects Haidara to be playing "next Saturday". Catastrophic idiot of the highest order.

The best part of that was when he touched on the challenge that ended his career, saying it was a fair challenge etc when it was only a couple of years ago he was complaining about the tackle saying it was over the top etc. The guy is senile

They real? Bit early, but better than this season's monstrosities. Nike have just got the England contract; I shudder to think what they're going to come up with.

Link doesn't work for me, is it this?

I remember as a kid having a Barcelona shirt with Romario on (so around 94) and it was glorious, how have they fucked up such a nice and easy design?

Both look rubbish, sponsor is massive.

 

[Raven]

The women's versions should suit them nicely.

 

[Scouse]

Suarez is off in the summer...

 

[DaGaffer]

Suarez is off in the summer...

His agent has been saying that for months. Bayern under Guardiola is the favourite.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

He does deserve to play in the Champs League IMO, he's a great talent.

 

[Billargh]

Hasn't Suarez been saying he's happy at Liverpool for quite a while now though?

 

[Cerb]

Stockholm Syndrome.

 

[soze]

Hasn't Suarez been saying he's happy at Liverpool for quite a while now though?

Yeah so it's the same as when Liverpool bought him. He is not demanding a transfer and not refusing to play unless he is sold. But if there is an offer good enough for Liverpool to accept he will be off. It is a non story.

 

[Aoami]

Finally seen highlights of the utd madrid game. Don't get the fuss. A karate kick to the ribs nowhere near the ball... intent or not, people have been sent off for much less.

Spanish football seems like a ticking time bomb.

good, about time they got brought to heel. spanish govt's been propping up clubs overspending for years

 

[megadave]

Only 3 clubs being safe is crazy, and for two it's because they take everyone elses' share of television revenue.

This. Real and Barca take the biggest slices of the pie and leaves the rest to battle for crumbs

[DaGaffer]

TBH, Real and Barca should also be in trouble if the historical government backhanders and "property deals" they've received are taken into account; but the TV revenue thing is the biggie; I think I read recently that Real would go from first to fifth in the richest clubs league if Spain had a TV share structure similar to other countries.

 

[Himse]

Marios goal vs Brazil was lovely.

 

[Olgaline]

I've never seen Czech play this badly....

 

[CorNokZ]

We're winnningng it all now! CORNER CORNER CORNER CORNERCORNILUIS!

 

[ileks]

West ham have the Olympic stadium for £15m & £2m a year rent. 2 fucking million. It will only cost £150m to redevelop it for them...

 

[Billargh]

Anyone watching the USA v Costa Rica match? Playing in an absolute blizzard. The ball's barely moving and they're all slipping all over, it's a fun game!

 

[Billargh]

USA! USA! Need heated cameras.

 

[CorNokZ]
