*Official* English Football Season 2010-11

Next you'll be telling us that you once read a book about them and therefore consider yourself a hardcore fan

Yeah and then I got a tattoo since you can't be a fan without one. Ooh and don't forget the merchandise.

Is it that hard to believe that people outside of Europe may not care one bit about the Prem and not know the clubs?

 

[GIMH]

Continue believing that. Wenger's right.

Maybe it's because you don't get enough coverage over there that you don't see why he's a bad tackler; you know, the same reason you didn't realise they were a big club

 

[Furball]

So if I didn't care about club football for years I'm supposed to acknowledge that I paid attention to Man Utd just because they're a big club? Pfft, this isn't Britain. The news wasn't and still isn't saturated with information about European football. You only know if you look and I didn't so yeah.

Our news isn't exactly saturated with news about Argentinian domestic football either, yet I still know that Boca Juniors and River Plate are the 2 biggest clubs in Argentina.

To be unaware of the standing of Manchester United, you'd have to spectacularly ignorant, or stupid.

There's a then and now to that. I get enough to have seen him make some brilliant enough ones and that he's a midget plus who he'd have had to face in training to know that no one who's that good can be bad at tackling. The guy just likes getting his foot to let the opposing team know he's not going to be bullied about.

Nope. You'd have to see things from the perspective to know what I'm talking about. If one doesn't watch sports on TV much, is only interested in inane drivel on the net and neglects the news then yeah they'd pretty much not have much idea. Didn't even know about the treble until a few months into my first season of watching the Prem.

DEAR GOD. Why do you have to speak to him like that?. Horribly rude posting...SMH

 

[GIMH]

SMH?

 

[roseboy64]

Shake My Head

 

[Furball]

Lol, Gallas to Spurs.

Stockdale looks decent. Early doors yet but would, probably, rather see him in the next England squad than whoever we called up as backup to Hart last time.

Squillaci medical tomorrow ftr.

Indeed. Would be nice if Schwarzer does go to Arsenal as reports i last check couple days back. More ENG players starting for clubs the better.

The battle between the next 2 spots behind for the 1st EURO qualifiers is between Foster, Harper, Stockdale.

 

[Jarquis]

To think Carrol nearly never made it, was a left back, and a **** one at that. So Newcastle were going to release him, lumped him upfront for a game and he scored a few headers. Kept him on and, as they say, the rest is history.

Makes you suited as a Utd fan then

Hmmm, irony.

 

[roseboy64]

Oh indeed.

There are regulations regarding what you can do. You can't, for example, take over a club, sell all its players and assets then close it down for a quick profit.

But there's no "limit" as such on how much money you can make from one, so long as it's run fairly. Besides, PLCs have to make profit by law.

Surely there has to be better investments to try and make a profit from then buying a football club? It's one thing like Abramovich buying Chelsea because he can, he's a billionaire regardless if he owns Chelsea or not, but I don't understand why people like Hicks and Gillett would buy Liverpool to try and make a profit out of the club. You assume all of the debts, you are expected to give the manager more or less a blank cheque by the fans, and meanwhile to make money if dependent on whether you win anything of note or make the Champions League at a bare minimum.

 

[Furball]

Odds on Martinez being sacked before October?

When you've conceded 10 goals in 2 games, the solution isn't to sign the other Caldwell brother.

 

[Uppercut]

Looks like Citeh might be good at home, poor away again this season. Owned Liverpool from the word go here.

Ngog and Torres up front just doesn't look a strike force that can work.

 

[Jarquis]

Think it's a case of Liverpool being pretty dire Away as well tbh.

 

[Uppercut]

Can't believe Mancini started SWP instead of Johnson last week.
