For the sake of football, I really hope Hull don't win tomorrow and Watford get more points than them.

Also, Palace vs Peterborough is going to be interesting, Palace need to win to guarantee their play-off chances, Peterborough need to win if they want to guarantee their survival.

Feels like the season is already over. Scudetto is ours once again, Bayern basically won the CL. I know I'll hate it later on, but I wish the muppet season had already started.

That gif is as good as I've ever seen. No doubt.

Possibly my biggest contribution to Footy-GAF.

Make that to all of GAF. NBA GAF and gaf members in the maxim thread are all worshiping that gif.
 
Pirlo says at Euro 2012 before the final UEFA told him "You're the best at the tournament but we're only giving you the award if Italy wins"

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL fucking wankers.
 
? Xavi has nothing to do with it.

Does he say who from UEFA said that?

It reminds me of those guys at school "Oh yeah I could easily pass algebra, I just don't try". Aka, an excuse.
Excuse :lol

Go ahead and google "Xavi". He's a fucking cunt who never shuts up. "Nani wasn't a red", "Cesc come back home", "The pitch was wet", "We DESERVED to win", "It doesn't matter if we lose, it's about dat legacy"..

On the other hand, Pirlo is a private guy who RARELY speaks to the media. No reason to lie whatsoever.

Besides, half the Azzurri is Juve, he's not fucking stupid.

Pirlo is such a private guy that he wrote an autobiography. But that was probably just for his private collection, right?

Where did I say Xavi isn't a cunt lol, you're the one who brought him up.

No reason to lie? It's not a lie, more like common knowledge. He was Italy's best player, if they win the tournament, he wins the trophy. Simple. He knows some of his readers will be the fan-boys that still cry about him not winning Euro player of the tournament.

Saying that makes them all feel good. "Ohh so UEFA didn't want him to have it. I knew he would have won it otherwise".

btw private person writing autobiography. Sounds a bit off to me. :lol

Pirlo was a beast at the Euros and had Italy won the tournament, he would have had the trophy for best player, easy. But I reallllly doubt anyone said that to him, it was just something he knew it himself, had Italy won, the trophy was his.

The big trophy will bring the other smaller trophies, usually.

Bayern players have a realistic chance this season for the Ballon d'Or because they have thrashed everyone, but if they lose the CL, it goes right back to Ronaldo/Messi as favourites, just how it is.
 
Iron Man 3 was kind of shit.

It was quite disappointing.

Because The Mandarin turned out to be a joke?

Alright then, he lied to please the fanboyz. Moving on.
 
Right, I'm off to the pub for some breakfast and beer and to hopefully see the Wednesday secure our Championship status this afternoon.

WAWAW

Reda and JJ to the rescue.

lol, every morning when i check my usual sports websites, there are new interviews with dortmund's manager watzke. this guy surely likes to talk.
 
Hi, I've been following this thread for years (before GAF went NEO, the great cull etc).

Weirdly it's my birthday and I got my account cleared.

If anyone from N-Sider reads this, yep, it's the same guy.

I'm a Spurs fan. Be gentle.

/COYS.

Well hello there, welcome to the thread and happy birthday!

I don't quite like the way the turn of events in the Götzegate: Watzke could have played it smarter and further give the impression that he is a selfless grandpa who only wants what's best for his team and his players, and not ignite a petty war with someone who is way richer.

The sooner he shuts up, the better for Borussia's image and his. Klopp and Zorc handle things way better, I hope they sit together and discuss the PR issue they are having right now, with Watzke agreeing on shutting up at the end.

Glad I'm not the only one who sees it like that. If you ask me I don't mind if he continues to talk.

Zlatan prepared to drop from €12m to €9m wages

Inspiring generosity.

Speaking of lol owners, Fernandes keeps talking

Can you tell us the players you want to keep?

‘No. But the team wasn’t balanced. It’s pretty clear that we missed someone in the midfield. We missed Joey Barton. The team was better with Joey in it last year. We missed a real leader. We tried to get Michael Dawson, we tried to get Scott Parker.’

Fucking Redknapp. What a fucking lizard.

Was paying top wages a means to an end?

‘Yes, there’s no two ways about it. It wasn’t easy persuading Jose Bosingwa to come to QPR. It wasn’t easy convincing Brazil’s No 1 goalkeeper [Julio Cesar] to come from Inter Milan. It’s ironic that I’m being hammered for wages, because I’m one of the guys who wants financial fair play. During the recent vote, a lot of clubs rang me up to say vote against it. I said I may be getting relegated but it is the right thing to do.’

The thing is : Dortmund are in a very good position now. They can boost merchandising x-fold thanks to their recent success, they have gained a fantastic visbility overseas thanks to their successes against Man City and Real and the fact that they are playing the Champions League in Wembley, they are on their way to reduce their debt and their personal costs to turnover ratio is small, which means they won't be impacted by the financial regulations to be put in place next season.

Furthermore, they can advert themselves as the "Bayern-opponent" which is a quickway to be recognized in the eye of the neutral as one of the big teams in Europe. This recognition and goodwill can be capitalized on if Dortmund further stresses its image as an "alternative" club which has been able to build its success on its modest financial strengths and fantastic fanbase/youth development system/scouting. All of this is on the move, and Watzke is at the heart of it, as the public face of Dortmund.

He needs to play it smart if he wants to make this season a long lasting success, and that means among others to be able to attract sympathy. To go out of the Götzegate with a straight face and no whining would have helped that greatly.
