Utter bullshit. Worst officiating I've seen in a very long time. Didn't deserve to lose.

 

[Meier]

Fo real?

I think he may be confusing gross versus net. It's definitely not true in terms of gross transfer costs since we know they must have paid something similar to that for Sahin's loan alone let alone for Reus, etc.

 

[Keio]

Wigan is such a shit team. Nobody will miss them when they are relegated. Lucky cunts.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Never a good idea to talk shit before a game. Save that for after when you've got the result.

my favourite bit is the "the thought of senderos against bale is amusing me" part.

Oh Usho

 

[KidA Seven]

I think he may be confusing gross versus net. It's definitely not true in terms of gross transfer costs since we know they must have paid something similar to that for Sahin's loan alone let alone for Reus, etc.

They only spent around 300k for Shinji.

 

[Phantast2k]

Gross transfer spend in the last 5 years (according to transfermarkt.de)

1 - Bayern Munich - £136m
1 - Borussia Dortmund - £0,7m

Fo real?

/Yeah, Reus fee was avg. out be Sinji's fee.

//oh yeah, I confused net with gross.

Wigan sent out their Rugby team today because their football team is shit.

 

[arkon]

Wigan sent out their Rugby team today because their football team is shit.

Wigan's Rugby team better than Newcastle United FC confirmed.

 

[Scum]

Pleased with the result, especially considering the Spurs result. Puts us in a decent position for the international break.

You have a shitty schedule after the break, don't you?

It's all secret agent Gallas' fault. His OG at San Siro meant too many players burned out after extra time and Lennon's hanstring couldn't handle the extended cameo.

If we recover well and get our energy back in this break, I'm still confident. I expect a lot of our players will pull out of international duty now.

I wish I could share your optimism, but I trust AVB. Always loved the guy and hope for the best for him.

Unlike Gallas. Oi, Yurt. Straight swap for Chiellini. What do you say??

 

[Messi]

Wy the fuck would we be worried about Fulham? In the last 5 games against them we've scored 10 and conceded 1, they are shit and even worse away from home. If we can't beat this lot then we don't deserve top 4. The thought of Senderos against Dembele and Bale is already amusing me.

As long as Bryan Ruiz is kept in check they have no danger men, Berba's great but planks like Sidwell and Karagounis aren't going to be able to get the ball to him.

 

[Clegg]

Wigan sent out their Rugby team today because their football team is shit.

Yet they still beat Newcastle.

 

[Kyoufu]

Yet they still beat Newcastle.

Because they played Rugby, not Football.

 

[xintin]

You have a shitty schedule after the break, don't you?

6 games in 15 days. Let's do this shit.

 

[Ushojax]

karma

In my defense, I didn't think AVB would play two left backs, Naughton, or that Dawson and Lennon would get injured. We played a tired, awkward team today and by the end Bale had got injured as well.

 

[faridmon]

If QPR and Reading weren't so shit, relegation fight would have been saucy this year. The gap between 11th place and 17th place is only 4 points.

 

[Phantast2k]

So the expenditure alone is:
Bayern: £181.37m
Dortmund £59.58m

But yeah, when put against revenues it avg. out to almost nothing for us

 

[The_Hitcher89]

If QPR and Reading weren't so shit, relegation fight would have been saucy this year. The gap between 11th place and 17th place is only 4 points.

Yeah. Needs Wigan to win their game in hand to get interesting. Its Norwich at home, so hopefully they do

Keep the hope mate. Swansea away, then Everton and still matches against City and Chelsea. Going to be fun to watch Spurs in April.

You should progress against Basel as well which will be welcome.

 

[faridmon]

Yeah, but there is only one place to fight for, or rather to fight against, and that is not that exciting. 7 teams and the only 1 will go down? Blah...

 

[The_Hitcher89]

At least it won't be either of us

I think it's worth remembering that as much as we bottled it last season, we did finish fourth and missed CL on a technicality. We have to recover well during this break, too many key players flagging and getting injuries.

Dembele was god-awful today, as was Parker. That injury to Sandro is killing us . I can see why AVB is trying to involve Livermore and Carroll more, because we cannot rely on two CMs alone.

The silver lining to both of our season right there.

*high-five*

Spoiler

until we spend the half of next season in relegation spot

 

[Kyoufu]

Fuck football.

Hixx, pour me a drink.

 

[feel]

I want FIFA 14 to have the Champions league and the Europa. That would be awesome

Fuck that. PES reboot better have those.

edit- the best would be both games to have the cool licences of course (EPL, UCL, etc), but we just know that won't happen sadly

 

[dc89]

The fuck. Cole and Yorke on Sky? Where's Summerbee these days. Sky are so biased.

 

[Fernando Fernandez]

I think QPR aren't fully out of it yet - look who they have in April.

Fulham (A)
Wigan (H)
Everton (A)
Stoke (H)
Reading (A)

Points to pick up there. FURGEDABOUT May though with Arsenal/Newcastle/Liverpool

 

[Clegg]

Summerbee is a genuinely terrible pundit.

He's the most one eyed bitter City fan in existence. Everything he says is framed around his hate towards Manchester United.

He's a joke.

 

[Messi]

The fuck. Cole and Yorke on Sky? Where's Summerbee these days. Sky are so biased.

He was shit

 

[rodvik]

Newcastle single handedly bought 5 teams back in to the relegation scrap.

Yup. Thanks Newcastle. Jesus.

That would be amazing for everyone else, and heart-attack inducing for us


Mike Summerbee is a bitter old moron

 

[Freewheelin']

Fuck football.

Hixx, pour me a drink.

 

[dc89]

He was shit

No he wasn't. He foretold a Prophecy that day.

:lol at Nasri's face.

 

[Vivalaraza]

They should get Summerbee on for the derby.

 

[Mastadon]

What the fuck is that ITV England advert all about? So embarrassing.

 

[Clegg]

They should get Summerbee on for the derby.

And then film his face whenever United get a 50/50 decision or a goal.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

They should get Summerbee on for the derby.

Tell Neville to wear his Man Utd goggles and get him on as well

He'd smash him down with his superior logic and sense

 

[Fry]

No he wasn't. He foretold a Prophecy that day.

:lol at Nasri's face.

The dude pointing at him reminds me of Bale. And the dude at his right, reminds me of Sahin.

 

[Messi]

Neville is amazingly unbiased

Great pundit

ITV are generally embarrassing.

That ad is cringe.

Shit stadium

[Ushojax]

Asked if fatigue was a reason for Tottenham's below-par performance, Villas-Boas said: "No. We played lots of players who were not involved recently and had a couple of fresh legs on the pitch five at least."

Yeah........no. It's all well and good changing the back 5 but the front 6 was mostly knackered.

 

[Carbonox]

awesome

They really should play the sounds from Close Encounters of the Third Kind whilst changing colour each time just to mess with people.

 

[Fry]

awesome

so good. goddamn.

QPR can't even get a win out of a game against Villa that they'd been absolutely dominating for 45 minutes. They're going down :[

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Yeah........no. It's all well and good changing the back 5 but the front 6 was mostly knackered.

Managers don't like admitting to fatigue, as its an indirect criticism of their wider squad

Remember when O'Neill went ballistic because Terry said (rightly) that they were confident of beating Villa in the second half as they tended to tire because of O'Neill's non existent squad use? Good times

Atletico 1-0. Good for people who put money on them at evens.

lol fucking Costa, nearly messed up that goal.
