I believe we come pay you guys a visit in two weeks. That's three easy points for Utrecht :p

Nah, it will be a walkover for Ajax if our defence stays the same.

There's also a possibility that the game will be without supporters due to the fights on the stands yesterday.

Ilori has gone on loan to Granada. Be interesting to see how he does.

Liverpool v Arsenal u21's in 20 minutes. Looks like Chamberlain is playing.
 
if United had Garay the last 2 goals from Eto would never happen.

he would be the man marking Eto inside the box in the second and the one jumping with Cahill in the third.

Garay

Ribery's comments are great. I'm sure it'd be business as usual if he said some nonsense about how he's honored to have been on the short list, he just wants to help the team and doesn't care about individual plaudits, etc.

Much more honest... and he's fucking right, isn't he? How one wins the Ballon d'Or when you don't actually win anything with your team is beyond me. If you're just voting for who the best footballer in the world is regardless of achievement, then the answer is Lionel Messi.

I agree with this. We should rather give Balon d'Or to the best youtube skill video instead.
Individual class needs to result in titles, your team winning it, otherwise its just fancy art nobody cares about. Wasted potential.

And the team of the year is truly embarrassing, but its more politics than actual sport, anyway.

you're wrong about Lesnar, you're wrong about this... how many times can you be wrong about something, Morsel?
 
Of course Ribery is pissed that he didn't win it. Let's face it, this year was his chance to win it. Messi had a "bad" year, Ronaldo/Real didn't win anything, Bayern won everything and there was no WC/Euro in which France fucked up.

Ribery is 30 and all of that at once will not happen again in his career. Do I understand why Ribery is pissed? Sure. Did he really deserve it? Might be. Did Ronaldo deserve it? For sure. End of the story.

Nice Milch, never thought this would be coming from you :)
You're still a cunt, though.

I'm so confused!

@Arsenal: We'll bring you all the key moments from London Colney. Kick-off is at 1.30pm (UK time)

Is that referring to a different match?

Nah, apparently they're not broadcasting it live. Should be available later tonight.

Liverpool FC U18/U21 @LFC_reserves
U21s play Arsenal tomorrow at 1:30pm away at their training ground. Game is set to be played behind closed doors so may not be televised

Maybe I need to read the Ballon D'or small-print. How can there be this much disagreement about how it should be interpreted?

It's an individual award for a specific year. Why should team achievements matter? It shouldn't matter if Messi is the goat if he is eclipsed in that particular year.

That team of the year is a joke, though.

Because this isnt some circus were the daftest clown wins.
Its still a team sport and the individual skill needs to boost the team to win something. How can someone be GOAT if he hasnt won anything? This isnt Golf or Tennis.

I think I have worked it out, Chelsea wont sell Mata to a competitor, they also wont play him, Moyes grand plan is to have such a bad season that we are no longer competitors, including "losing" to Chelsea so we can secure Mata in the summer.

Moyes you devil
