Football The 2013 / 2014 Season Thread

Oh didn't realise you had to pay to use the Telegraph one. Fuck that. :\

 

[DaGaffer]

the guy really is a fool isnt he

Unfortunately he's not a fool at all. An absolute self-serving, corrupt cunt certainly, but not a fool. Playing the "racist" card plays well with all the developing-world FIFA reps who vote for him.

 

[Raven]

Isn't it about time this ridiculous old cunt just retired or something?

He's got the support of all but 1 of the regions though. He's going to win and UEFA are just taking a protest stance. Its a shame that Platini is his mate and hasn't got the balls to overthrow him tbh.

 

[Raven]

Yep, cash in hand is what rules international football these days. I care less and less about it each season.

From my FB:

21 mins · London ·
Fabregas to Chelsea. I feel sick. Wenger better have some bloody big signings up his sleeve. That is all.

---

Fucking nauseating.
17 mins · Like

TROLOLOLOL.

 

[ileks]

Really weird signing. You have to wonder why City, Arsenal, Liverpool and even United (who put in a bid lat summer) showed no interest at all. They could all afford him. Is he just not the player he was a few years ago?

 

[megadave]

​

He was the best midfielder in the league when he left, in fact statistically he was the best midfielder at Barcelona last season but he never really fit in. They really fucked up by signing him since it meant they lost Thiago.

Costa/Lukaku
Hazard/Schurrle Willian/Salah
Oscar/Ramires Fabregas/Van Ginkel
Matic/Mikel

​

Looking good to me.

​

 

[Raven]

Excellent signing imo with him and Costa I would expect Chelsea to stop playing anti-football and start entertaining again.

 

[megadave]

We could easily play it as much as last season, 3 or 4 whole matches!

 

[soze]

I am glad Cesc is back but we did not need him which is why we did not buy him. We had a option to buy him back but did not take it up our small skilful midfielder quota is full.

 

[Bahumat]

I would love him at OT, but we need someone who is able to kick ass and win the ball.

 

[Shagrat]

You need someone like fellaini, oh wait....

 

[megadave]

Someone? You need more than one midfielder which could be hard to come by.

 

[Bahumat]

Yeah

 

[Vladamir]

Lots of Arsenal butthurt on twitter at the moment - have they forgotten they had first refusal on Fabregas?

Soze I omit you from this tar brush!

 

[Bahumat]

Didn't Fabregas once say he would rather die than sign for them?

 

[Hawkwind]

Sad to see as a Arsenal fan but as Soze pointed out we do not need another midfielder, strikers and defenders yes. At least we made some money out of it.

 

[ileks]

Didn't Fabregas once say he would rather die than sign for them?

I don't think him and Mourinho have ever been friends.

Fabregas is a bit of a cunt IMO. He orchestrated that move to Barca but doesn't seem to have fought for his place (like Di Maria did with an incoming Bale) at all.

 

[georgie]

Well, Cardiff sucked at the football side of thing last year, but at least we did it hospitably.

I'm sure everyone just enjoyed it cos they kicked our arse, but there we go.

It was a fake quote made up but an Arsenal fan.

We just Thank you for the Cornelius deal, haha

 

[caLLous]

Barça's fond farewell to Fabregas:

But despite glowing starts to each campaign, Cesc’s contributions to the cause gradually decreased as each season drew to a close. From being someone who joined in with the attack, supplying and scoring goals, the magic tended to fade later on in each season. He only scored one, six and one goals in the last 24 games of each season. For some reason, he was never as good in the second half of a season as in the first.

 

[Bodhi]

More than a club my arse........

Anyway we've just trolled Arsenal by signing Cesc, Spurs and Liverpool by signing Willian and Salah, any chance we can troll the Manchester clubs for a clean sweep?

 

[Raven]

Barca are so full of class.

You didn't really troll Arsenal as they had first refusal and weren't interested. You got sloppy seconds!

 

[Embattle]

Yeah because Arsenal are well known for their transfer tactics

 

[Raven]

Arsenal fans shouldn't fret. They will snap up a few free youth players on the last day of the transfer window.

 

[DaGaffer]

I want the Dutchies out of the WC in the next 3 games, Van Gaal back on the plane to Ringway ten minutes later, and some fucking signings ten minutes after that. I couldn't go through last summer again.

 

[soze]

We shouldn't worry because we do not need another little creative midfielder.
