300 bucks for a bet? That's huge. I would like to wish you luck but I really want Madrid to just lose

 

[Meier]

If you lose there will be tears.

I lost around 500 last week and had to make some questionable bets to make it all back + profit. It was a learning experience.

You'll have enough to buy Debuchy soon after his UCL performance.

 

[faridmon]

Isn't Levante considered a boogey team for Madrid?

Good luck, Lego, that is all I can say to you at the moment.

 

[PowderedToast]

*classic*

 

[dc89]

JT is having a MRI scan on his knee tomorrow.

 

[Wes]

You're such a bad influence on me. I never usually make huge bets, but I just put £300 on Real Madrid.

 

[faridmon]

I think Ibra is the best Striker in the world and much better than Villa in terms of Skills and goals.

Yeah, come at me Bros

 

[LegoArmo]

That lizard thing is pretty cool.

I'm not nervous. My boy Ronaldo will save me.

 

[jtb]

Yeah... no. Stats have become increasingly ignored because they are deemed unimportant. But some stats DO tell you a lot.

Eh, some do, some don't. They're all misleading though, and that makes them useless in my eyes.

If Xavi and Iniesta don't assist, then how do Spain keep winning international tournaments? How do Barcelona keep winning trophies? Because assists aren't a meaningful measure of anything.

I mean, how many assists did Downing get before he transferred to Liverpool?

 

[Tc91]

Think it's time for a Avatar change, looking for a Chicharito one with his new C celebration if anyone will do the deed

 

[Kyoufu]

You'll have enough to buy Debuchy soon after his UCL performance.

Excellent.

 

[Wes]

I think Ibra is teh ebst Striker in the world and much better than Villa in terms of Skills and goals.

Yeah, come at me Bros

That's only because we're a young team at the moment.

Lol

holy fuck. good luck!

 

[Yurt]

Fry you can't take the stats stance and declare that Ibra > Villa btw

I think Ibra is teh ebst Striker in the world and much better than Villa in terms of Skills and goals.

Yeah, come at me Bros

David Fucking Villa.

 

[Bo-Locks]

You're such a bad influence on me. I never usually make huge bets, but I just put £300 on Real Madrid.

 

[Kyoufu]

Time for Atletico. Hope Falcao is up for this.

 

[Clegg]

Then I'll take Ozil and Pirlo over them I guess.

There is a very good argument to be made that Pirlo is superior to Xavi.

But Ozil over Iniesta? I can't agree with that.

 

[Tc91]

Not Atletico these JT's lost me money last week.

 

[AndresON777]

Falcao show coming up


---Valencia is awesome not their fault

 

[bud]

nigga is you for serious

 

[Yurt]

There is a very good argument to be made that Pirlo is superior to Xavi.

But Ozil over Iniesta? I can't agree with that.

Pirlo has to be the most underrated player this generation. Milan's Pirlo in 2003-(WC)-2007 was a demi-god.

I like (well, love) Iniesta, but I've seen him do fuck all countless of times in La Liga.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

nigga is you for serious

I hope your knee injury isn't too bad

 

[Wes]

Woops

 

[LegoArmo]

Pirlo has to be the most underrated player this generation. Milan's Pirlo in 2003-(WC)-2007 was a demi-god.

That whole Milan team was sexy as fuck.

 

[Clegg]

Why did Milan let him go?

He was brilliant for Juve last season and was definitely missed at the San Siro.

 

[Yurt]

^I'll leave that for TheLucifer.

That whole Milan team was sexy as fuck.

Indeed.

 

[Splatt]

Why did Milan let him go?

He was brilliant for Juve last season and was definitely missed at the San Siro.

Because Allegri is an idiot. He prefers a destroyer type of midfielder like De Jong.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Why did Milan let him go?

He wasn't really playing well for Milan, weirdly enough. Maybe just cause he had shit players in front of him.

Spoiler

Yes Fry

 

[LegoArmo]

Indeed.

Except Dida, maybe. I didn't like him.

 

[Wilbur]

Busquets is the best at what he does. Xavi isn't. Iniesta isn't.


Overhyped, so overhyped. Fuck them and this discussion.

Nuts. Schweinsteiger consistently bottles it at European tournaments hahaha

 

[The_Hitcher89]

 

[dc89]

How's De Jong doing at Milan?

 

[Splatt]

How's De Jong doing at Milan?

Dunno.

Ask Lucifer.

 

[Yurt]

Except Dida, maybe. I didn't like him.

HE WAS WAY OVER HIS LINE IN THE SHOOT OUT!

Spoiler

so was Buffon

He wasn't really playing well for Milan, weirdly enough. Maybe just cause he had shit players in front of him.

->

“Milan offered me a one-year extension, but I wanted three years because I was younger than the other players whose contracts were expiring,” he told the Gazzetta dello Sport.

“But the real reason behind why I left Milan was because Allegri wanted to use Massimo Ambrosini or Mark Van Bommel in front of the defence instead of me.

“That meant that I had to change position on the pitch. So I said ‘no thanks’ to Milan and chose Juventus.

“Milan decided that I was no longer useful to them. I understood that immediately during our meeting.”

Some were surprised by Pirlo’s decision to leave champions Milan for a team who had finished the previous two seasons in seventh place.

“When I was at Gigi Buffon’s wedding in June last year, people asked me if I was crazy because I had left,” he added.

“I then replied that when I decide to join another club, I do it because I want to win. And I also said that we would win the Italian championship.

“And now those same people thank me because they went and put money on us winning the Scudetto…”

While Juventus enjoyed the assists of Pirlo, Milan did struggle at times without his calmness and vision.

“A lot of my former teammates told me that they missed me during the campaign,” he added. “But I’m happy as I won.

“Almost all of my former teammates at Milan sent me text messages congratulating me on winning the Scudetto.”

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Dat Solskjaer.

 

[Broder Salsa]

"It's a fucking nightmare. We have to get down and talk in the dressing room and then just try to make them not score more". I love it when opponent players are that straight forward.

Dat Solskjaer.

 

[Fry]

Nuts. Schweinsteiger consistently bottles it at European tournaments hahaha

Do you mean finals?

How he got there is more important. It's the course of a tournament against a single match.

 

[Splatt]

Cmon Porto and Atletico...

 

[Broder Salsa]

How he got there is more important. It's the course of a tournament against a single match.

That sounds like something Wenger would say.

 

[Clegg]

Congrats to Solksjaer on winning his second title in a row as Molde manager.

 

[AndresON777]

Busquets is the best at what he does. Xavi isn't. Iniesta isn't.


Overhyped, so overhyped. Fuck them and this discussion.

[jtb]

But Xavi and Iniesta got through the course of the tournament... and won. Isn't that more important?

I think this is the first time I agree with Fry on something.

I highly rate Xavi and Iniesta but top 4 players my ass.

 

[dc89]

Milan goofed letting Pirlo go.

 

[Timurid]

We all know Valentino Mazzola is the best of all time!!!

 

[Wilbur]

In the Euros, Iniesta was probably the best player of the whole tournament.

 

[Kyoufu]

That was onside

Xavi isn't any more, but over the last 5 years he has been.

For me, it's Messi and Ronaldo ahead of everyone, and then probably Iniesta. Cliched but fuck it
