update on my sending off : haha oh well.
after telling the clown exactly how incredibly intelligent he was and HANDING HIM my copy of the FIFA 07-08 Laws I figure I'd do better than just a 2nd caution.

EPL UPDATE:
L'pool:
Stevie G says 'pool must start to dictate matches from start to finish rather than relying on Herculean combacks, Torres at best, extremely doubtful for Saturdays Clash w/ Chelsea. Good news, Dirk kuyt is on fire.
Chelsea:
After the 'our-reserve-team-scored-5-goals-against-boro-outing' Chelsea certainly look to have the firepower needed to be on top when it matters. First Top of the table clash coming Saturday Liverpool @ Stamford bridge.
ManU: Rooney Started to score.. maybe he should keep the haircut.
Arsenal: *INJURY UPDATE* Kolo Toure out for at least a month, Arsene Wengers squad seem to lack "grit" the ability to win ugly.

Newcastle and Spurs..... No...

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

Newcastle.. maybe not.. but have you seen Spurs play? wow.

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

is klinsmann coming back to spurs?

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

That would piss me off if Klinesman went to Spurs. I was so happy when the "rumor" went out that he would take over the National Team. I think he would have been a great fit... Though last year when the 'special one left' I did advocate US soccer sending him a check and letting him fill in the amount.

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

as did I. as much as I hate him

I'm bloody livid now, as I won't be able to watch Liverpool v Atletico because it's on ESPN DEPORTES!!!!!!!:fl:fl:fl

I've got to get my head back in the game. I was home all day yesterday and completely forgot about United/Celtic. I am ashamed of myself.

You should be. You're a ManU fan. ;)

1-1 in the 80th. Keane and SImao

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

pool and A. Madrid go 1-1.

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

Was you're Liverpool-Atlético Madrid actually on Deportes? I had it on here (time-warner in Milwaukee) I had it on Espn 2. It was even in HD.
All in all I was fairly disappointed in both sides. Pretty choppy game, neither team really got into any rhythm. Reffing was pretty, although consistently bad. I think this played apart in the lack of flow. Was disappointed that Kuyt and Keane didn't get to start together. I think if they would have, Liverpool would have put it away in the first half. If Torres would have been playing,it wouldn't have even been close.

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

yeah down here it was only on Deportes, not happy.

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

Beckham to AC Milian? I thought it was just going to be the 'training' like he did last year but now they are talking it will be a permanent move. Why do people need an old, old. old midfielder whose prime is so past I don't even have those FIFA games anymore.

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

Becks still has some talent left... (not that he had an outrageous amount to being with) but certainly his experience is what makes him valuable.

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

he puts butts in seats and shirts over the counter

and he's not past his prime I don't think, he's as useful as he ever was. Take that whichever way you please :)

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

ROFL

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

I really should ding your rep for this Peter! There's only one team I like more then ManU and that is Ajax Amsterdam.

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

It's the mercandise he sells and the media coverage he will get for the club that makes him valuable.

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

Liverpool up 1-0 at half! Come ON you REDS!

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

Take that, Chelsea.

Liverpool records a 1-0 win with a goal by Xabi Alonso - who just happens to be on my fantasy team. :)

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

*sigh* no fantasy point from Xabi for me.... but THE REDS ARE COMING UP THE HILL!

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

I was pulling for Lpool (and for some reason guys became attractive). :) Great win. This is shaping up to be a fantastic year. I am amazed with Hull. 1/4 of the way through and with each game getting more and more safe.

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

Hull has certainly been fantastic. If they finish in the top half of the league thats pretty dogon impressive. If they keep at the pace they are, they'll finish ahead of all the teams that said they'd break into it this season... Man City, Aston Villa...

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

an impressive start doesn't guarentee anything. Reading just missed qualifing for the uefa cup in their first PL season. they relegated in their 2nd season.

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

True... and Liverpool were on top of the League last year before Christmas...

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

and in the end United will be champions again :)

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

I'm just waiting for somebody to creep up on me... but then I've only got 12 transfers left...

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

So... I play in the Huntsville Adult Soccer League http://hasl.org/ in the first division for the team WOLDE, We are currently in 3rd from the bottom (read that as 1 game away from relegation or not) we have currently 12 points. The team below us, in the relegation spot, has 11 points. They will play the last place team, we will play the first place team. We've already beaten the first place team, 1-0. How exciting! Last year, we were a single point away from promotion... this year... fighting relegation... hilarious. By my math, and the 3 points for a win 1 for a draw, 0 for a loss: If the team we are fighting relegation against wins, and we win, it no matter. If the opposition wins and we don't win, we lose. As long as they don't win, we win. This is so complicated! They are a good team, who should be on top, we are a mid level team who should be mid-level. On a note that affects everyone: The National Weather Service is forecasting a 40 degree kick-off.... (that's a bit chilly down here in 'bama) I guess I'll post Wednesday night the results... honestly It'd be really funny if we got relegated, because the talent level on the team is just awe-inspiring, minus me of course, I just hit people.

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

What if you loose and they draw, wouldn't that put you tied at 12 pts? Would you then be relegated because of the goal differential? Then it wouldn't be "As long as they don't win, we win". But anyways, your fate is your hands so just win and don't worry about it.

It also snowed here yesterday so you have no sympathy from me with your "chilly" kickoff.

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

You damn yankees and your SNOW! you know me Joe, 45 degrees and I look like the kid from A Christmas Story.... http://kimandjason.com/blog/wp-conte...y_snowsuit.jpg

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

well we managed to avoid relegation. We won 2-1. I got my rear handed to me all night as one of their strikers was a bad man. I had two solid tackles, one saved a shot on goal, and one just kept my pride from getting hurt as I got burned. The shot on goal tackle was the most exciting, and earned me 4 duct tape butterflies as my medic fiance informed me that it needed stitches... I passed... and got the other guy kicked out. They play a long ball to (my) right of the field and then switch it through sending my man on, he was faster than me so he just went around, but when he slowed to shoot about 18 yards out, I saw my chance. coming from my right to left, I tackled in and hit the ball out to my teammate who was coming pounding in, right before this guy shot, when he put his foot down to try to go get the ball back, he stepped on my lower right thigh... hamstring area and just ripped my leg up. of course I've got to leave the field, and I point out to the official that is sending me to get the blood off, that normal dull cleats don't cut like that, you might want to check his boots. he does, the dude had filed the edges down til they were sharp and thin. If he had gone and changed boots it wouldn't have been a problem, but he saw fit ( the opposition was mexican they talk more than the bloody italians) to argue about it, and promptly cussed out the official... red... they picked up one more red card with about 10 minutes to go. So we held possession and passed until I would screw it up and just blast it down the field instead of giving it up. I had one really good opportunity to score and managed to screw it up as well. We had a free kick from about 40 yards, and I went up to had some height to the front line. Shot right at the keeper who drops it right on my foot... and I hit the post. I think if I was forced to reach for it I'd have scored... oh well. I'm way out of shape and it really showed tonight. SO my goal for the next season ( spring ) is to be in full 90 minute shape. WE shall see how that works out... but I need to get in shape bad because I sucked it up last night.

besides Liverpool won, who cares..

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

I got tossed last night on a long ball I was attacking, I was quite a bit faster than the defender and on the run to the ball he smartly got in my way.. While trying to jocky through his attempt at slowing me down the guy pulled a Ronaldo, Flailed to the ground as I broke contact and was going to be unopposed to the ball. Like I shot him in the head, where my contact to him was arm and maybe a bit of chest. Whistle blows and they claimed I struck him in the face. I was warned a little bit earlier for being a bit 'mouthy' in requesting a free kick as I was being tossed around like a rag doll.

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

I mentioned that to the official last night, the whole I'm getting shot by a sniper .50 BMG, he was very quick to tell the dirty mexicans to get the hell up. It was honestly kinda funny.

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

The last couple of match days have been good to me in fantasy (and Liverpool). Also, good thing you didn't get relegated because I don't think I could be friends with anymore.

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

youre all a bunch of dirty players.

Maybe, but I'm not diver. So I got that going for me, which is nice

Re: The Official Soccer/Football/Futbol/Calcio thr
 

GO SPURS!!!

Ajax won the tough away game against FC Twente today and are now in 2nd position, equal points to AZ but a lesser goal difference.
