Maybe a tad strange but the guy's not played football for a year.
So Kagawa had a good first game? That's nice to hear. Yay for the new thread. Will post responses from the last thread later on today :]

I actually agree. Chicha looks really out of sorts at the moment. First touch is terrible.
Do you think we'll see him in the PL next season? Serious question.

gg Japan. They took their chances, unlike us.
Mexico needs to stop being so wasteful. We are no longer playing in CONCACAF.

Bebe? if he keeps this form up he'll be in a starting 11 at Newcastle.
We only let French players in our starting 11.

Found these on twitter just now:
De Laurentiis: "My job is not to moralize but sometime I look football players in the eyes and I think: Come on, have another tattoo on your dick if you still have enough space."
De Laurentiis on the Coppa Italia: "Oh I enjoyed so much fucking them in the ass in Rome. I couldn't stand anymore listening to other fans singing our celebrating chants when they were winning."
De Laurentiis on friendly with Shanghai Shenua: "Actually they are shit but they have Drogba and Anelka, so to organize this friendly against them they asked me 120,000 + flights for our people + 15,000 for our accomodation. In the end, this will cost us 400,000, but I didn't want to miss the chance to advertise Napoli in China."
De Laurentiis on Jovetic:"We are ready to pay him 30m and leave him one year to Fiorentina, but if he is uncertain and he makes me understand he is thinking about Barcelona, so you can go to fuck off."

I dont expect that to change vs. Korea so Im hopeful vs the other 2 teams to get a shot for 2nd place.

Tena's team always started their process awfully and improved on the road. The problem is that there's no longer any margin of error.
There are plenty of positives to take from this though. Gio and Fabián looked great together, Aquino was a beast, and Ponce proved he deserves a starting position. We dominated the match and should have won... but football is not about meriting victories.

So its the most overrated goal of all time?

Made a nice flick into Berbatov and got forward more than I expected. Certainly tenacious. Needs a PL loan, I think.
He can't pass or cross for shit, so winger is out. At his best, he's the equivalent of a horribly, horribly out-of-form Chicharito in the forward role. So, no?
Hah. Volley from about 5 yards, decent technique, I guess, but it was an open goal.
glad I'm not the only who thinks that...
Oh, you'll hear us chanting "O'sordato 'nnamorato'" again soon enough, you giant douchebag.

I wouldn't say it's easy. An over rated goal but to volley against the direction of the ball like that and right into the corner...pretty good.

Wouldn't disagree. I can't say I'm 100% sure he meant it, but he probably did
edit: I think Di Canio's goal is easy in the context of how hard it is to pull off some of the brilliant goals we see.

Must say I like what I saw of Powell. Very promising.
That would probably be my choice too. Rooney's shinner deserves to be up there IMO.

Me too. He looked confident and was spotting some good passes.
Fergie said he will stay with the first team squad so I hope he gets some minutes in the league.
Rooney vs Newcastle was much better IMO.
Meh, I prefer the time and place aspect of the overhead a little more. No doubt his Newcastle one was incredible though.

What's happened to his shooting from outside the box? He seems to either chip it over the bar in an attempt to replicate his Portsmouth goal, or drag it wide these days
We had 3 brilliant goals last season to choose from for goal of the season
Scored a screamer against Fulham this season and the one against Bilbao wasn't too bad either.
There was also one which should have counted against Liverpool this season but didn't because of the moron ref saying Evans had committed a foul beforehand.

Hey guys, I'm on my way downtown for the meet and greet. Im going to try and take lots of pictures and you'll be able to see them on my twitter (@tfisher21) and my instagram (tfisher2180).
The game is tonight at 7:30 CST and I'll definitely post a recap once I get home Sunday or Monday.

Crouch vs City was my favourite. For a big man, he pulls off some brilliant goals.
^ Hope you enjoy it awsome

If I remember it was a 50-50 which Evans won and it looked pretty unsaveable.
Ah, maybe Reina would have got to it.

Danny Rose's goal against us wasn't a bad hit, but that goal was down largely due to poor goalkeepIng from Almunia :lol
My favourite goal has to be either Henry's flick and volley or Bergkamp's turn. Biased I know

Speaking of goals. I was always disappointed how Torres' miss against MUFC completely overshadowed the cool peach the scored the same day.
Edit: Some ball from Anelka too.

To be fair, that was the perfect narrative for the media and neutral football fans
