Given the fact that I live about an hour from Chicago, you can definitely count me in.

sweet, we're crashing at Joes place.

I'm there if you can assure me an invite to the player party after. I love cocaine.

[Mr.Italy]

Well my friends yes I am a fan of Inter and as I was born in England and grow up over there , my hometeam is Manchester United

Anyhow I want to say straight that in teh coming Uefa Champions League I will support Inter as I am now over here and of course we will WIN

What do you think of City that is going to buy Kakà for 120 millions euro.. you can buy with that money :


5 Ronaldinho Gaucho

500 Ferrari 599 GTB as Cristiano Ronaldo destroyed

11,2 milioni di Bibles

16,8 milioni pampers for Kakà's son

3,3 milioni Manchester City official jersey

1 Boeing 747

380 appartamenti of 100sm in Milano

so what you're saying is, he's a waste?

jason... for your pleasure... I'll ask if he'll bring his own...

The money is utterly ridiculous and bad for the game. They've upped their offer so high now that apparently Milan would like it, just down to terms with Kaka. I'm sure that boy's between a rock and a hard place, 240 mil for the club he loves? If he goes he's a (an even bigger) club legend, if he stays there will always be that spectre of the money that's not there hanging over his head. If he goes well, he's at Manchester City. Poor guy, horrible thing that couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

No, I'd love to see him here if he's still fit to run around!

[Mr.Italy]

I say that it's too much money, Kakà is a great player and very fit. But why City and not R.Madrid ? H ecan decide where to go if he leaves, nowdays it's players that decide I believ.

poor guy. Football is about to kick off here in less than hour. here's hoping Man U drops points.

Don't know if anyone has setanta, but the merseyside derby commercial is AWESOME!


******A contest A contest A khaaaaantest************************
thank you james tiberius.and Aldukey for such an Idea

So my team has started their practizin' for the up and coming season. 10 games, Win loose or draw in these matches. Looks like we're going to have a pretty decent squad. I've never played with any of these people before, and in a brand new division, with teams I've never played against. For a 5er of stogies, What will our record be? 1-8-1?
for the first tie breaker how many goals will I score? 0? 1? 5?* for the second tie breaker how many goals will my defense allow all season?

*the past 2 seasons I've been more like Jamie carragher (NO, NOT AGAINST SPURS) than Vidic, but scored twice in 2 seasons, a 25 yard volley, and a header off a corner. (If I score 10 goals this season, city will offer me 100 million)

record: 3-5-2
goals: 1
defense allows: 27 goals

my team is throwing a tourney in march- can you get your squad to come up here? we could get some interesting gambling going on around here.

I'm no Grobbelaar... but 27 goals allowed!?!!? Aldukey, if you win you're getting cremosas!


Liverpool v everton I hear might be postponed due to snow.... anyone hear otherwise?

[Don Fernando]

no, but I heard that City bought Bellamy and agreed with HSV about Nigel de Jong over a transfer, De Jong has to negotiate with City though.

[Mr.Italy]

City is going to be the new Chelsea, money money will bring players up there but to win and be a team you need time.

Any special story why arabs bought City?

[Don Fernando]

well, Chelsea did win some prizes right?

I apologize for getting my team confused with yours.

Aaaaaghhhhhhhhh!

great steven gerrard, great, but to concede in the last 3... so frustrating.

[St. Lou Stu]

I'm puttin a lil run together fellas!
Man, it sure is nice to have some transfers left!

[Don Fernando]

thank you Tim Cahill

Of course yes, but now it seems that Abramovich wants to leave ( news in Italy) so who will take care of them ( MONEY )? The tradition in a team is important anyhow just got nes that Kakà refused the offer of the city!

Woah unbelievable, all that money and he said no...I want a big team. The arabs will be very upset I believe.

[Don Fernando]

well, they are cutting in the costs, Ballack's new contract is considerably lower then his current one and that happens everywhere. Benitez wants new players at Liverpool but the board vetoed it and said to sell first to be able to pay for new transfers. Manchester United only ivested in two youngsters. The credit crunch will be good for football, the market will cool down a bit.
