look milan are top of serie a but they arent that great. spurs will go out and attack with every player bar 2 defenders and gomez.....well 2 defenders anyway. the italians do not like that one bit. spurs still have the suprise element and im sure bale will still confound his opposite number. ill take a nil nil draw in the first leg in milan and take them to the lane for a win.... very very possible!

barca's got this

It's a joke. Chelsea have called off their game against Man U because of the difficulty Man U fans will have getting to London in the snow. I thought most Man U fans lived as close to Chelsea as the average Chelsea fan.

leeds great win against qpr yesterday got us upto 2nd in the championship and bechio signed a new contract. feels good to be a leeds fan right now.

feels rubbish to be a palace fan right now

how many of the main players are still injured? Was Lampard and Essien due back yet? Or maybe not quite match fit? handy...

shit.. they ain't fuckin around at the airport any more

Ive somehow had the best week of anyone in the fantasy league. they should never have postponed Cheslea Man U yesterday

RIP legend :(

I seriously don't know what happened to me. I was a steady top 20 and then, over this month I've dropped to the 60s! I'm guessing it was me overdoing some transfers on a couple of the gamesweeks.

leeds v arsenal, i am going for a 1-1 and a replay at elland raod which we will lose spectacularly.

yep..my fantasy team has taken a winter nosedive as well....shame!

fucking hell! i was right.

does anyone know of good live games today? something they would recommend? i'm ok also with recent games (e.g. friday replays) or sunday games so i can watch tomorrow. thanks.

England is having a weekend sabbatical from proper (ie league) football to make way for the FA Cup. Arsenal v Leeds was televised live on terrestrial TV today but I'm not sure how that works in other countries. If you can find a way of watching Liverpool v Man U tomorrow (Sunday) at 1.30 GMT, that might be an interesting one but personally I can't be arsed with the FA Cup.

new f.a. cup thread for downloading


spurs man united game next sunday will be a doozy i reckon. maybe just maybe the right result will happen as beckham is now close to being a yid, for a while anyway.

Wheres this thread gone?



COYS!

I spent the night in my friends house with no TV, no internet, and no radio. I was quite nervous for quite a while...

Of the English clubs left in the CL, I'd definitely like Spurs to go furthest. I'm not a Spurs fan and can't stand Rednapp but given the seasons both Man U and Chelsea have had, I really don't think they deserve to achieve anything that might be used to make this year look like a success for them.

yeah i forgot this thread....c.o.y.s. indeed. the most frustrating and stressfull 90 minutes ive ever had to endure but it was worth it!! last 8 for the tottingham...unbelievable jeff!

Prem season's end, wondered what and who those who followed it or any other league thought were:

Best Team: Blackpool (despite getting relegated)

Best Player: Scott Parker (West Ham); Leighton Baines (Everton)

Best Manager: Fergie (Man Utd); Ian Holloway (Blackpool)

Best Signing: Hernandez (Man Utd)

Most Disappointing Team: Arsenal

Most Disappointing Player: Torres (Liverpool/Chelsea)

Worst Manager: Avram Grant (West Ham)

And so it ends, an unforgettable record-breaker season for FC Porto, one of the absolute best of the club's history, with 4 titles: (undefeated) Portuguese League Champion and Europa League/Portuguese Super Cup/Portuguese Cup winner. FCP is now the most decorated Portuguese club of all time and surpassed titans like Manchester United in number of international titles. I hope we can hold our best players for at least one more season, as this year reminded Porto supporters of the glorious UEFA Cup and Champions League victories on 2003 and 2004 (I don't think we'll go so far this time but I feel we can make a great campaign, anyway).

And one very special thank you for the world's best striker: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIFoB5sk3Eg

Best Team: West Brom getting a top 10 finish and Everton turned their season around big time

Best Player: Scott Parker Gareth Bale

Best Manager: Kenny Daglish Tony Pulis

Best Signing: Darren Bent

Most Disappointing Team: West Ham or Arsenal

Most Disappointing Player: Diddier Drogba (past it?)

Worst Manager: Mick Mcarthy or Avram Grant

i'm fairley sure Falcao and Hulk will be Premiership bound this summer.

shame, teams like Porto need to be able to keep their best players to be able to challenge in the Champions League. Money Money Money...

plus, congratulations to AFC Wimbledon!!!

and of course Palace survived another season in the heady heights of the championship. Another team who have no chance of keeping their best players (sit and watch as Neil Danns, Nathaniel Clyne and Julian Speroni head off to somewhere like Sunderland or Wigan. Only to be relegated in a few years...)

Actually, maybe we can keep both. Porto's president said that this year he won't sell anyone below its rescission clause. Hulk's contract was renewed a week ago, having now a 100M€ clause and Falcao's contract is also on the process of being renewed (his clause is currently a bit low, 30M, which can be easily offered by any major club). Oh well, we never know. Our coach André Villas-Boas (another great responsible for the successful season) is also not available for transfer, as he's as much of a Porto fan as I am and apparently wants to continue for some time.

thats great news, especially your coach. he's been talked about alot in the uk press

just fantastic! it was kind of inevitable but fantastic all the same

Yup, Barcelona is the best team I've ever seen, no doubt. Can't wait for the Super Cup final (even if I also can't be very confident on a win, hah).

thoroughly enjoyed it, in the prescense of a middle aged man who wasnt my dad

Campeones !!! Mes que un club !!!

We had the nicest end of the season here in Austria:

Me too. I've not seen anything like this current Barcelona team before. Previous great teams have tended to be dominated by single great players but while the press go on about Messi, it's that organic understanding between the entire team that makes them feel at times almost supernatural.

nice...

had the sound off but the police looked like they dealt with it pretty well

I know the UK media are told to turn the camera away from pitch invasions and outbursts of violence in the stands but I do sort of wish they'd show it. From the comfort of my armchair, a decent bit of violence* usually adds a little spice, especially to an otherwise boring game when it might be the only real bit of excitement on offer.

*decent as in no children or animals were hurt

dunno about that!!!

Either way, West Ham are appointing Sam Allardyce as their new manager. I honestly find that even more depressing than being relegated. Just horrible. I've not felt this dead since the last election.

i feel your pain
for some reason Sam seems to be respected in football circles, and he is a big name which will help you keep and attract players to the club.

but yeah, i'm clutching at straws for you! Anyone but "Big" Sam!!

*edit*
i felt that way when Neil Warnock came to Palace but after a while i grew to like him. He was our cunt.
If Sam gets you straight back up i'm sure you'll feel differently
