Uh, 3 - 0. But three also means I've won three Premierships alone? wut?


Also, is that fact? That he's one more then the other managers combined?

[Macros]

I think it might be fact this season.

Only Pellegrini and Guardiola have won it (afaik) and only one each.

Still Jose is heading for a meltdown

[Tiste Simeon]

[Malankazooie]

[Tiste Simeon]

Yay we finally won!

[Macros]

I'm drawn back to the arguement of who is better.


And the answer again is Messi.

The man is almost ephemeral in a defenders eyes. It's one flick or touch and he's gone.
It's not 5 glorious (vainglorious shall we say) step overs then a route to personal glory. More times than enough it's a delightful flick on to his team mates.

This is why Ronny will never reach that level. He's a selfish prick.

And before amph and co start trotting out stats I'll tell you to fuck off right now

Everyone lauds the Holland team of the 70s as the greatest to never win a tourney
Point and case, they didn't fucking win but does deny their brilliance?

No

Ronny bangs in goals for fun.

He did one 30 goal season in the PL, out of what, 5? Harry Kane has 3 in 4. So fuck off.

Ronaldo fired in goals in a league where 8-0 is not that uncommon a score line.

Sure he's 33, but he reckoned he could do it in Italy too. Will he fuck. Italy is far tighter


I'm not holding Messi up against a different stick, would he have such a time of it against Stoke? Hell no. He would have the fuck kicked out of him.
But he would get up.
Ronaldo, who has 10kg and 6 inches on him would still be rolling in the dirt.
Not passing the ball

[Macros]

In short.
Shove your stats up your fucking ass


Messi is pure class

Hey soccer heads. What is the UEFA Nations League? And how long has it been around? I noticed ESPN here in the US is airing some matches. Any you guys watching? (is it worth watching?)

[Tiste Simeon]

I'm not actually sure I don't remember them doing it before and it seems quite soon after the World Cup...

[Morgoth]

So I went with my wild card. Also, Arsenal will crush it from here on out. I have spoken.

It is an attempt to attract more viewers to what used to be international friendlies. Essentially, when not playing world-cup or continental club qualifiers, national teams can only play friendlies throughout the regular season. However, no-one cares about them and that is noticeable in stadium attendance and TV-coverage (including the price of TV commercials surrounding the matches) and complaints by club coaches when their players return injured from a friendly.
So, the UEFA went and invented a new competition to replace the friendlies, which they hope will raise the stakes and thereby the public interest.

I wildcarded last week and promptly lost another spot on our ranking. and I think Liverpool needs to raise their game quickly to be ready for Tottenham, but if they get out of White Heart Lane Wembley the MK Dons stadium with a win, anything is possible.
Also, Chelsea is surprisingly good for a team that completely reversed their tactical set-up over the summer without much in the way of acquisitions. In comparison, Arsenal is quite far behind and might start crushing it somewhere after christmas only. I have spoken.

With the Dalglish and Rogers years, I had my share of suffering at Liverpool.

Arsenal is probably my second favorite team in the world. I'd love for Arsenal to do well. But Emery needs time and unlike Chelsea, the squad wasn't particularly balanced or suited for anything approaching the top 4.

Rodgers wasn't all bad, at least we had a bash at the league.

We will never speak of Hodgson, as he didn't happen

Who?

As for Rodgers: I think it was more despite him that Liverpool made that run.

[Tsundoku]

WTF? How did he do that? Zlatan the freak:
