fuck michael dawson and his rash risky tackles. what the bejaysus ws he thinking, 95th minute, just sheppard him out to the corner, he was going nowhere, but no, lunge in...it wsnt a penalty but still no need to run the risk of a desicion going against him. i dont like thinking about going to elland rd now!
yknow spurs may have hit a wall. the last few performances were lacklustre, liverpool game they were awful. hull game they were immense but myhill was on fire, no one would have scored against him. leeds game...well they were ok but not good enouigh. i am now worried about the rest of the season. we seem to depend on aaron lennon too much. paulychenko sadly is on his way out and if ruud van nistelrooy does come, where is the room for keane? he is the captain and a long standing team player, yeah he maybe off the boil but he still holds a lot of respect with the players. huddlestone not getting his game all the time which is criminal. i fear that the spurs are going to hit their slump to coincide with the rise of man city and the pool and villa..... it is possible spurs may finish 8th, its too close to call but spurs better get their foot on the loud pedal immediatly! finish the job.... dont carry on the tradition of spurs being a "nearly there team" plays fantastically but then bottles it! any less than a top 4 will be a major dissappointment. the leeds game tho, fantastic match for a neutral! |

Rud Van Nistleroy has moved to Hamburg so he's out of the equation.
I think you're right about Spurs hitting something. Whether it's a wall or not though, I'm unsure. I've heard rumours that You've offered West Ham Keane as part of a deal for Carlton Cole. Personally I think Cole is overrated and would happily swap him for Keane but I don't think the new owners want to get rid of him. Redknapps problem, and I know this from his time at West Ham, is that while he gets behind some players he seems to completely ignore others, which I think might be the case with Huddlestone. Given the amount of points Liverpool, Villa and Man City are dropping, I'd say this season might be the best chance you'll have in a long time to to come of breaking the top 4. Give it a season and I think Man City will become the strongest contender and, if anything, the battle may be to try and grab Arsenal or Liverpools place. Meanwhile west ham are now owned by a pornographer dwarf. Joy |

As an outsider I have an observation is there a lot of guys changing teams at any given time?

i dont think getting rid of Keano was the right move, we should have ditched Pav.

Please explain the difference between Champion league and Premier for this soccer neophyte? I've been getting hooked as my Dad and I watch matches on ESPN Saturday morning.
That Messi is some kind of player thanks for the pointer Demon what's the question? IS it will he come through for Argentina?

The premier league is England's top division (Spain's is La Liga, Italy's is Serie A, etc). The Champions League is when the best teams from those different divisions around Europe play together to work out who the best team in Europe are.
The 'question' is whether Messi is as good as Maradona. Most people think Messi is the best player in the world right now (although some say it's Christiano Ronaldo, others say Wayne Rooney) but Maradona is recognised as one of the greatest players ever, alongside people like Pele, Best, Cruyff and Zidane That's why it's the 'big' question. |

Ronaldo and Rooney are no match for Messi.

Yes I read an article that raised that question comparing Messi and Maradona and also why does he play better for Barcelona than Argentina. The writer of the article seemed to feel that Barcelona was more on an attacking team than Argentina.
I haven't seen a lot of Maradona but watching that you tube video that you posted sure made Messi look incredible the way he just stops and changes direction, his dribbling skills are the best I've seen. Perhaps I need to see if you tube has video of Maradona and Pele. In the meantime go Everton!!

Maradona v Pele:
Argentina's problem is that they're coached by Maradona at the moment and while he was a great player is a disaster as a coach. Usually, Argentina are a brilliant side but so long as Maradona is in charge they've really struggled. The problem with comparing Pele with Maradona is that they played in such different eras. Pele's more like an immovable icon, a bit like Muhammed Ali in boxing. Quote:
For much of the season I thought Rooney had overtaken him, and I still think Rooney is Messi's only real competition at the moment. At their best they're equally unstoppable, as would be any team who were able to bring them together as a strikeforce. Messi and Rooney up front and Ronaldo playing on the right would just be ridiculous. Unplayable. |

Stu, I guess you're missing much by being Englishman and not liking football at all. If I were British, I'd pick a team according to my location, would buy a season ticket and be on the pitch every single weekend.
British fandom of football has always been very fascinating for me.
