The Football Discussion

[G7SEV]

For all discussions of Premier league, Champions League, internationals etc.... here is the thread.

What are your thoughts on anything football?..............

Ronaldo needs to wise the hell up

[G7SEV]

He does, i agree. His attitude is pretentious and pompus. It takes away from the fact he is a great great player. in some aspects the media and commentators make him out to be worse but i do agree

[nani17]

I don't mind him as long as he's scoring or playing well i couldn't give two shits.

Now Joey Barton deserves a good kicking he's always up to no good and as a footballer he should be a bit more responsible.

[Suffwan]

I just wish Rafa Benitez would stop playing Dirk Kuyt... I mean effort is one thing but when the guy has no talent then he wont produce on the pitch.

[nani17]

I have to agree with you suff he's not the best,. Do you think Selling Keane was a bit stupid so early IMO he should of at least waited till the end of the season.

[01srainey]

the robbie keane sale was just stupid, tottenham realised they made a huge mistake when they sold him, he just needed time to settle in at liverpool, maybe if they had decent wingers, keane would have got more service

[nani17]

He did need more time to settle i think it was stupid to sell him Liverpool made a big mistake.

[Suffwan]

The Robbie Keane sale was a rash decision. Especially given that Torres has been injured most of the season. I rate Keane and think hes a great striker, but unfortunately he doesn't fit into the Liverpool system, which makes me wonder if he really was a Benitez purchase. What we do need is some Wingers!

[nani17]

Maybe he wasn't a Benitez purchase but why did they sell him so quickly i just don't understand it.

ok, who here was impressed by eduardo and velas two goals this afternoon?

cause i bloody was, a lovely nutmeg and chip from vela, and a superb heel volley from eduardo

quite sublime

[nani17]

I was very impressed amazing recovery for the young lad

[Adam]

Super Pipo get's a hat trick, and Beckham was awesome for Milan today.

But still I can't believe how awful our defending is. Senderos is pants, and Maldini should have retired last season. I can't wait for next season. Thiago Silva can finally play for us, and from what I've seen of him he looks awesome.

If we do manage to nab Agger from Liverpool we'll be much better. Who know's, we might be OK much sooner if Nesta recovers sooner than expected.

This week is huge for Liverpool as we play Real in the CL and Man Yoo in the EPL. I have a bad feeling about one of these games and it aint the tie to the Spaniards

C'mon CW... you have to believe. I know times are hard and Liverpool have literally given Man Utd the premiership this season but have some faith mate.

[xCW]

I think over the last few seasons Rafa has shown he has the tactical knowledge in Europe but when it comes to domestic matters he still hasn't quite got a grip on it yet. I would love to see us beat the Mancs and win the title but I am not building myself up for it

[nani17]

As a Man UTD fan i feel the pressure from Chelsea and Liverpool the race is close.

I agree with you to a certain level Suff that Liverpool have given United the league but you have to give United some credit. Unbeaten since November (Arsenal 2:1 Man Utd) and didn't concede up until Kuzjhack went in goal versus Blackburn a week or so ago. On the other hand your team has faltered quite a bit and some reason's to that would be Rafa having an outburst, selling Keane, playing Lucas and other mediocre players (my view) and relying to heavily on Torres and Gerrard. A bit of a & b really.
Also i find the reason why Man Utd are very strong is because there is youth in the squad plus depth. I mean the second choice players at United (Park, Da Silva, Fletcher, Nani, Tevez, Foster etc) are better than most teams first choice (in my opinion). Anyway i hope its a good end to the season and entertaining.

Yeh I have to agree with that. I hear many people say that Man UTD have won the league by default rather than their own merits but I disagree. In the big games they consistently turn up, and more often than not just do enough to get the result. The lesson they taught Inter at the San Siro was breathtaking, shame they couldn't score.

Saying that, I have a feeling Inter will score at Old Trafford.

[G7SEV]

Adam don't jinx it lol. I am waiting for that game nervously lol. I am not sure they will score (Inter) Vidic is back, Ferdinand looks to have shaken off the injury (not confirmed). Also Inter are without Burdisso, Materazzi and Chivu through injury. Hope they play Rivas lol.
If Utd have had of started Tevez (love him he is a work horse who plays for the crest) or Rooney instead of Berbatov then Inter would have conceded in the San Siro.
