Official Football Thread - 12/13

[SajN]

SajN, changing the title would be appropriate right about now

Any predictions for tonight's El Classico?
Did you know that when Pepe doesn't play, Madrid doesn't win?

What title?

EDIT: Got it.


I never really give predictions, but I would guess 3-1 to Barcelona.


Yeah, I read something about that. So your team only depends on one player, uh?

[SajN]

So do I. I was just joking, bro. I just lost 2-3 against Real Madrid on FIFA.

Hopefully this won't happen, lol.

[Fleka]

Busquets is just so annoying. Just play the fucking game, stop falling and diving all the time. And he needs medical care all the time, you would think that players are armed with knives and shit. And Alexis just falls, like he has no intention to score, he just dives and asks for cards and penalties.

El Classico sucks.

[SajN]

10 minutes left. 3-1 to Barca.


COME ON



EDIT: WHAT THE FUCK, VALDES??????????????????????????????????? That's why you're not the greatest keeper in the world!

[Guess_Who]

Valdés sucks.

I was coming back home 30 minutes ago, and there was noone in the streets....Bars love El clásico.

[SajN]

Fuck the first half, the second half was fuckin El Classico for real.
Disappointed at the accuracy of Madrid's passes but a one goal difference is alright.

EDIT: Yeah, I called it 3-2

I guessed 3-1, but I forgot to count in Valdes

Oh well, good match.

[Ku53v]

A win is a win but the goal difference should have been more. Real Madrid did absolutely nothing and got to score twice.

I hate sanchez

My Official Transfer Window Review:

United: RVP will get injured. Kagawa will amount to nothing.
Chelsea: spent too much on glamour players, needed a new defender. But looking good. And i'm impressed with their bottle for completely ignoring all financial rules.
City: Jack Rodwell? Financial Fair Play has really fucked us, otherwise we'd have Hazard and RVP. Good enough, regardless.
Arsenal: Depressing. Clichy, Toure, Nasri, Song, Fabregas, Adebayor, RVP - imagine their team with those guys in it? Will still finish in the top 4.
Liverpool: no longer relevant. Rubbish team, delusions of grandeur, will achieve nothing.

Prediction:
City
United
Chelsea
Arsenal

FA Cup: United
League Cup: Chelsea
CL: Real Madrid

We're not ignoring FFP at all. We can afford to spend like this and still comply.

It looks like we're getting Azpilicueta which should strengthen our defence. Moses is also on his way and he really impressed me when we played Wigan.

You've spent about 200million in 18months!

Nobody makes that much in revenue, even united (vomits), especially with a small ground....

Might revise my top 3 to put Chelsea in second but I have a complex over United and always expect them to be there or thereabouts

[Innovation]

Just heard on Sky Sports that Azpilicueta's move to Chelsea has now been confirmed! Excellent news.

Most transfers are paid off over the duration of a players' contract aren't they?

FFP is going to be interesting though. We may be in a good position, but a team like PSG have pretty much no hope to complying. Let's see how serious Platini is now a French team is spending a ridiculous amount of money.

[Guess_Who]

Valdés is being heavily criticized today for his performance yesterday.

This is how people in Marca values each one from 0 to 10.

Marca is Madridista (don't know the English word) anyway.

[Guess_Who]

Marca president can say Mass. If he said that I'm even surprised. Of course they are Madridistas, lol, everybody knows it. People here who is a R.Madrid supporter buys Marca. Here It's also known as "diario madridista Marca".

And Sport is other way round. A barça supporter.

An this is as clear as water.

edit: In case of confussion because the word is Spanish, Madridista means that they support Real Madrid.

put 20$ back in my betting account again, here's my bets:

Swansea x West Ham, I bet 1 $ on a draw (odds 3.35)
Aston Villa x Everton, I bet 1$ on Everton winning (odds 2.45)
Chelsea x Newcastle United, I bet 1.5$ on Chelsea winning (odds 1.5)
Stoke x Arsenal, I bet 1.5$ on Arsenal winning (odds 2.05)
Liverpool x Manchester City, I bet 1$ on Liverpool winning (odds 2.9)

so in case I won every bet (which never happens), I win: 14$ taking my credit to 34, if I lose everything, I will lose the 6$ I bet, thus my credit drops to 14$

Arsenal 2.05?! That's a brilliant price. As a matter of fact, the odds across the board look pretty good. Bookmakers over here aren't anywhere near as generous.

For the same Arsenal bet, I'm offered 11/10 (1.10).

@Chelsea supporters...Is Terry gonna be able to play next match?

It doesn't look like he will.
