Football Thread |OT13| This title has been fixed

Hitcher, and willing others, throw a best 11 of the premier league era at me. You're allowed 5 substitutes (as unbalanced a selection as ye like).

Try not to be partisan, innit.
 
To be fair, we're the ones who betrayed him. We never made a serious offer to Pescara and we went for Pogba. It was either him or Pogba, and Mino made sure it was his client.
take him back from PSG. give us Godba back you zebras!!

I haven't followed football for long enough tbh. My knowledge only covers about 6 seasons from 24. I'll throw one in that's a mix of my limited knowledge and media bollocks though

Bias led to me choosing Gerrard over Le Tissier, and Keane over Le Tissier as he could play DM or CM
 
Grazie. I was paying a kind of unintelligent attention to football when the PL kicked off, but I suppose we're all pulled towards the recent.

The bloke who asked is a Spurs fan who rates Ginola over Giggs.

Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio is a big fan of Paris Saint-Germain’s Marco Verratti. “He’s the closest thing to Andrea Pirlo.”

The 20-year-old continues to be linked with a future in Turin and Marchisio would happily welcome his international teammate.

“Marco is young and he needs to improve, but he already has some great qualities,” the Bianconero told La Stampa.

“It’s disappointing that a talent like him has had to go and play his football outside of Italy, but, as he says, the market opens every six months so there is always a chance…”

The Old Lady did make a bid for the player in the summer, before PSG offered Pescara €12m, given the belief that he will be Pirlo’s heir in the Italian game.

“He’s the closest Italian player to Andrea,” Marchisio added. “Pirlo is a great and he still has lots of years to play.

“We’ll be happy if he always played for us, but Verratti has some important qualities in the Pirlo role.

“Will he come to Juventus? That is a question that you should ask someone else…”

YOU MAD TIMURID?
 
Johnson makes mistakes, but Walker has the greater capacity to produce sheer fucking wobbling chaos out of nothing.

I find Johnson more likely to switch off and let someone run past him off the ball, but less likely to drop an absolute bollock, or be dribbled past, or balls up an offside trap.

@pappe, neither of them are at all shit, if you're being serious
 
Inexpressibly excited for Spurs v Newcastle.

Debuchy is going to try to punt Bale into the stands. I can feel it.



a) 16
b) browsing for lols

Seems a pretty boring thread tbh. Only talking point is whether we should retire the number 23 :D


The way gaming-side reacts to David Cage is quite pathetic


edit: Champions Leage this week

HYPE
 
If I was playing to win with every PL player in their prime:

-----------VDS
Irwin---Rio---Stam--Cole
------Scholes--Vieira
-----------Fabregas
Beckham------------Giggs
------------Ronaldo

Subs: Keane, Gerrard, RVN, Adams, Solskjaer
 
Personally, Beckham would be nowhere near my team. I missed his prime though.

Why would you have Solksjaer and RVN? What did Solksjaer provide that van Nistelrooy couldn't, to a far more effective degree?
 
Bruno Alves hinting that he'll be leaving Zenit in the summer.

And I hate airports.
I had a sweet day in Munich airport a few years ago, but apart from that I'm with you.
As in so many cases, we differ absolutely, intractably.

And as in so many cases, I am right.
I enjoy looking out the window once I'm in the air, but the whole check in, security, queue, boarding pass, queue, squeeze, cramp, take off rigmarole gets right on my tits.

I rate Ronaldo as a better winger than Beckham. But you want in-his-prime Beckham in the team for his dead ball ability. So I'd shaft a great striker to have both of them in my side.

A given, no ?

Gratuitously implicating urself in the Australian sport fiasco, there.

Heh. Good thing I'm not invested in Australian sport that much these days. Michael Clarke and his mediocre cronies have spiked any affinity I held for the cricket team. League and AFL never been my wheelhouse. Pity about Union.

Yeah, I'm sufficiently detached from it all to find most of it, at least, pathetic and or funny.

I'll care when it's English football's turn.

Fucking good team, Freewheelin.

Sir Alex Ferguson has declared Ashley Young fit for Sunday’s clash with Everton and played down fears over Phil Jones, who contracted shingles earlier this month.

Speaking at his weekly press conference at Carrington, the boss also confirmed the fitness of Michael Carrick and the Reds’ plethora of international stars, although he is yet to speak to Javier Hernandez following Mexico’s 0-0 draw with Jamaica on Wednesday.

“So far everyone has come back fit from their excursions into the rest of the world,” Sir Alex told reporters. “The only one we’re waiting on is Chicharito. I’ve not had anything back that says he’s not fit so I expect everyone to be fit from their games.

“On our own front, Ashley Young is fit again, Michael Carrick should be okay and Phil Jones will hopefully be okay, irrespective of Stuart Pearce coming out and declaring he had shingles - which we thought was doctor confidence. We’re disappointed in that, but it’s not anything serious for the boy. It’s a mild condition that has surfaced but he should be okay.”

Sunday’s match with the Toffees offers a chance to build on a nine point lead at the top of the Barclays Premier League, but after last season’s 4-4 draw at Old Trafford, Sir Alex is taking nothing for granted.

“Everton are very experienced and they've only lost three games this season. Our memory of last season is disappointing - we lost the title versus Everton! But we're playing well, I’m pleased with our form. I'm changing the team around and everyone who has played has done well, which creates competition.”
 
Robben is such a bastard. Complaining again about Heynckes. After the netherlands game he said: "It's a great feeling when the coach (van Gaal) trusts you"

for fucks sake robben. just shut ur fucking mouth. after all what u did to us last year, thats the least thing u can do. fucking hell.
