Yay Arsenal's first game this year shown on ITV and we're already qualified and playing a second string squad ...

 

[The_Hitcher89]

He doesn't watch the Bundesliga as fiercely as I do. Ribery was the player of the year and that shouldn't even be up for discussion.

Even so, you seem to get far too wound up about these things

That is such bullshit. Why isn't he as impressive as he was at Monchen' if he has better players around him now?

That's a silly argument tbh. Some players ply better surrounded by good players, some play better when they're the single focal point in the team. Look at Gerrard's performances for Liverpool, and for England,

 

[faridmon]

He still is, not as obvious since he has good players around him...

Speaking of which, i nominate Inui and Vander Faart for the player of this season.

 

[bud]

while reus is pretty talented, i haven't exactly been blown away a lot by him in the games i've seen him in so far.

ribery is fantastic, but i feel he needs to score more often.

 

[Kyoufu]

I think I hate Bayern fans. They're so insecure. They're like the Liverpool fans of Bundesliga.

 

[Lightning]

WTF Wenger? Arshavin only makes the bench on a team with most of our original starters not playing? Yeah sure. Just sell him in January and be done with it along with the rest of the excess chaff we don't want.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Gotze was better than Ribery last year. Kagawa too. Blalalzjmighyu8gcy67ycgtcski also.

I'm secure in our awesomeness. 2 home wins in a row, with clean sheets to boot. Marching up the hill, top 3 here we come

All you guys need is maybe 2 awesomesauce signings and you'll climb to top 6.

Well Gotze and Kagawa were injured for a lengthy time last season, but you are right.

while reus is pretty talented, i haven't exactly been blown away a lot by him in the games i've seen him in so far.

ribery is fantastic, but i feel he needs to score more often.

He is more quiter this season due to Dortmund's philosophy ''press and attack'' but he is as lethal as ever. I do think, however, that Dortmund are using him a bit wrongly. He should be behind Evilore by playing afalse 9.

 

[Meier]

Just seeing that Savic scored a brace this weekend to earn a draw for Fiorentina. Sounds like he is having a helluva season.. good for him. I was hopeful that we'd loan him out for a year and not write him off but this deal has worked out well for both sides.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

.

Just 1 signing, just 1 signing, final part of the jigsaw, just 1 signing...

 

[Broder Salsa]

What the hell, I mixed up the dates and thought Shaktar beating Juve was today. I just rushed home through all this damn snow for nothing!

 

[Ushojax]

lol

Arshavin can't get off the bench even in this dead rubber of a game. IMO this season he's done more than The Man With No Brain AKA Gervinho.

 

[fuenf]

Reus / Götze / Shinji / Ribery it doesnt matter, The Hoff is the best:

Some players just don't suit the PL.

Look at Veron. World Class in Italy but wildly inconsistent at United and Chelsea.

Ehh, maybe top 3 in your Europa League group.

Well, at least you are here for Dortmund beating City.

 

[systemfehler]

What game should I watch? Ibracadabra or Dortmund destroying City?

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Le Tissier's grown on me these last 2 seasons. Charlie Nicholas and Paul Merson are still morons though. Champagne Charlie can at least speak English though, I suppose

 

[AndresON777]

FORÇA PORTO!!!

 

[Meus Renaissance]

Those Team of the Year banners...I was about to flip when i saw Gomez in the lineup, thinking this was official

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Dat Barca

 

[FootballFan]

^Bacon you have more Barca players than I did. Respect I didn't have Jordi or Xavi.

I think I hate Bayern fans. They're so insecure. They're like the Liverpool fans of Bundesliga.

:lol

Nah they're alright, they're team is awesome too.

What does annoy me though is the "our player is better" attitude, no matter what position or what discussion you are having about a player, Bayern fans will say their player is better.

Best gk? Neuer. Best CB? Badstuber. Best LB? Alaba? Best youngster? Shaqiri. Best striker? Gomez. Best winger? Ribery. Best box to box? Schweini. Best left footed player? Robben. etc.

You wonder how Bayern doesn't win every single competition every single year when they have the best player in every single position.

Still though, Baaaayeerrrn.

 

[Zabojnik]

The Dortmund game still matters, right? For City, I mean.

 

[faridmon]

Ok, that is a hard choice. I wnat to go for Ibra, but I though I would jut hilghight his awesomness later. I want to see how Dortmund destroys city.

 

[Hixx]

Merse talks incredible amounts of shit but he is fucking hilarious.

His tooth falling out live on air was great tv.

 

[dc89]

dc, why does that City kid who killed those people in that car crash keeps being selected for the CL first team?

I'm not sure who you are referring too, genuinely.

Impressive.



Yeah, McKellan has been openly gay for a very long time. I think the coolest thing about Kun Aguero is that the script on his arm is in tengwar, the Elvish writing that Tolkien created.

He does? Kun just shot straight up in the awesome factor.

 

[fuenf]

Best left footed player? Robben. etc.

doubt it!

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Pique in Team of the Year?

No chance

 

[Broder Salsa]

Well, at least you are here for Dortmund beating City.

It's usually pretty good fun yeah, although I think I might watch Ajax instead to see the amazing Poulsen. At least will watch until they are 3-0 down, which will probably be after 20 min.

:lol

I personally find that quite entertaining.

 

[Carbonox]

No chance

Agreed. James Perch should be there though. Best Newcastle player since Philippe Albert.

 

[AndresON777]

lol some French scrub in the crowd with a Dodgers cap

They do have strong talents, and I would see the point if one of each players are considered one of the best, but they are bottlers, end of the day, and sadly you will be seen as failure in that case even if you are a great player.

This year is the year of Bayern though.

[elseanio]

Does anyone know the capacity of that single stand during European games? (BVB)

 

[bud]

pique's one of my favorite defenders because he's such a good footballer, but he's been absolute poop for quite some time now.

shakira, dump him immediately.
you only deserve the best.
you deserve me.
please.

 

[Meus Renaissance]

 

[Phantast2k]

What game should I watch? Ibracadabra or Dortmund destroying City?

Yeah, I don't know about destroying, lol

Ribery is really great in 12/13 so far, but he's been somewhat invisible in big games (in 2nd half of 11/12 & Euro).

 

[faridmon]

You mean Poulsen Hattrick.

 

[Swance]

I'm not sure who you are referring too, genuinely.

Meppen-Walters.

 

[FootballFan]

doubt it!

You know what I mean lol.

 

[AndresON777]

doubt it!

James Rodriguez duh

 

[D_prOdigy]

I'm not sure who you are referring too, genuinely.

Meppen-Walter. I'm assuming the case is pending if it hasn't been 'settled', so I'm surprised they're letting him play.

The Dortmund game still matters, right? For City, I mean.

Something tells me Mancini is terrified of accidentally qualifying for EL.

 

[fuenf]

To be fair, i think he was rather good at the Euro, France just didnt have a striker (Gomez) who could convert any of his passes / crosses. I dont remember seeing Benzema inside the box at all.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Pique in Team of the Year?

Process of elimination.

 

[faridmon]

James Rodriguez duh

Leighon Baines.
