haha

you have just wasted 800K on some player.

that is always injured.

another great move my the most incompentent manager in football

Ifill will be fine, don't worry about him!!

Part of me hopes you get promoted so we can thrash you at the Lane again.
I came all the way from America to see us kill you 3-1.

least you had another great season, acheiving nothing, signing a heap of useless strikers.

must suck to be the smaller club in the city :wink:

Remind me again what league you played in this season?? :?

Remind me again what league you'll be in once Hartlepool beat you 4-1?

i can't believe there is a pig that would fly across an ocean to watch that rabble.

I know, I can't believe I had to pay to watch that Blue & White Scum take the field, but at least I got to see a real football team beat them

Well its 5:30am and in just over 14 hours time Liverpool begin their quest to win the european cup, i can smell the champagne already!!!

or maybe that's the massive dissapointment that you are smelling. Just accept that it was a great feat even getting there and be happy with your runners up medal

I wanted Chelsea to win.

Each tie i'm sure Liverpool will lose. I hope tonight is finally that night.

Okay, its the begining of the second half and the red scum are down 3-0, let me repeat in the queens english THREE- NIL, LMAO. At least Man U represented by out playing their opposition, Liverpool look like Tranmere right now

Sorry Kdawg what did u say? WHAT A ****IN GAME THAT WAS i cried my eyes out, yes that correct i cried my eyes out after that game!

Who's laughing now, scum!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHHAHHhHAHAHAHha Best game ever! How did you like minutes 55-60, scum? Man U cupless, and Liverpool Europe's champs.... In all honesty, Liverpool looked totally outclassed for about 115 minutes of that game. It's a good thing there were 12o minutes, huh. The Mighty Red hoist another cup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing.

the only thing that I'm gonna say is read the thread I made about this

at least Liverpool is still the Champions of Europe!! hhahahahahahahaha


I'm not a Massive Team USA fan.. I root for them in principal, and I went nuts when they upset portugal ( one of the top 5 upsets in world cup history... and I'm sure you know what the number one upset is, don't you, John? I'll give you a hint, the score was 10-1... as reported by the London Times) But really rabid Team USA fans in any sport come from the super nationalists in this contry, and those guys tend to be nascar/ american football fans and not soccer fans. And England is my second favorite national side ( as daft headed and wrong footed as they can be some time. I'm talking to you, Beckham. )

Now, getting back to Liverpool love, I haven't heard a peep out of njligernj since the glory day. At least Kdawg was a man, and gave credit to the reds... but you, you blue scum.. you've just been sitting around, with yet another Liverpool cup sitting in your craw, as your ONE CUP WINNERS CUP sits and rusts. want a measure of a better team, how about how many CUPS they won in a season? HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAH. Your team is still a jopke, it is still the worst English side to qualify for the Champions league, it still has a NEGATIVE 1 goal dif, and it's still going to lose to Dynamo Kiev, or what ever crap team they draw in qualifing. Whereas, Liverpool will be Europe's raining kings.. hahhahahahahahah Oh everton fans, enjoy your trip to the qualifying round. It's the last trip to the champions league your team will make in 20 years.

YOU"LL NEVER WALK ALONE, ALONE, YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE!!!!

Getting a little nervous about WC qualifying? hahahhahaha oh, it will be a shame if you smelly frogs don't get to compete when the cup is just one country over.. way to screw the pooch, France..


Oh, and Everton fan, I still haven't heard your mealy mouthed rebuttal of the CHAMPIONS LIVERPOOL!! what's that, still nothing to say? Didn't thinkg so.. YOU"LL NEVER WALK ALONE!!!

looks like Figo is about to join the Toon. Souness is really getting some players. He shipped out Robert and has picked up Scott Parker and looks to now pick up Figo. Will the Toon army be marching into champions league places this year?

As much as i am a fan of Souness, being a former red and all i think The Castle have a long way to go b4 they can achieve that...
Parker hasnt played first team football regularly for over a year and Figo is on the way down, why do you think hes considering a move to Newcastle?

And with Mr Shearer leaving next year, gonna be a big loss after a season of building the team.

As i say im a big fan of Souness so i hope im proved wrong altho of course not at our Expense

I like Newcastle a lot, they have some great fans there, especially being able to tolerate Freddy Shepard. I really think Shearer has several seasions left to give to top flight football. I think he really could've played at WC2002 also. He is a class unto himself. By adding Scott Parker, they really have a nice midfield set up for them. GIve them a couple of years and that midfield will be just amazing. OF course, the rumor is Sir Alex is looking at bringing in Jenas( which I love). Is Micheal Chopra still there, for some reason I thought he got sold.

and in other news, the first test between teh Lions and the All Blacks is coming up. THIs Lions team looks real good and Driscoll will give the All Blacks a very hard time

Yeh they have a great manager and Some of the best fans in Europe... there is no doubting Alan Shearer has been an absolute credit to the game and he'd walk into my England team right now, all that said if Newcastle dont move into the right direction this season then they wont be attracting what they are really going to miss next season and thats a proven world class goal scorer....

They are certainly in my estimation going to have an improvement on last season they have quality all of the park with the acception of a strong back 4 unit but im sure i dont need to tell Souness that.

They now look good up front (for this year anyway) and their Midfield is looking like a force to be reckoned with ..add Shay Given to that and a couple of Solid defensive players and top 6 is realistic.

I have No idea about Chopra's association with the club now im affraid.

I must say without being to biased and egotistic i havent been looking forward to the start of Liverpool season so much for a long time what are your honest and unbiased thoughts on that??

Liverpool's talent is a distant 4th in the priemeirship. Gerrard and Carragher are the only two truely world class players on the squad, the only two that I think could find a spot on say, Chelsea..

But there are so many players on our beautiful team that have the ability to become world class and are certainly a class apart from alot of other players in the Premiership and alot of Chelsea's bench so things boad well for the future.

yea, Gerrard and Carragher can jump right in to any team in the world, but outside of them you guys have some serious questions. If chris Kirkland could ever stay healthy we might find out if he is an england qualtiy keeper, and Cisse will be coming off of a badly broken leg, so there is the possibility that he might never be the same.

I don't know about Man U's chances either to be honest. I don't think getting Van Der Saar was all that great of a move at this stage in his career, and as much as I love Wes brown, he needs to go. FInding a replacement for ROy Keane is paramount and we really need someone who can be creative in teh center of the midfield. THe striking positions are the only ones where I feel very confident about our chances. We have done nothing so far to try to catch up to chelsea, and with Aresenal looking at getting Guti, I don't know about about us even getting second this upcoming season. here's to hoping that we can win teh FA Cup

well, one thing is for certain, you guys have a world class gaffer, and we saw what that did for you guys in europe this past season

Three Cheers For Rafa!!!!

In coming back to liverpool? He picked a good season to jump ship/. He joined real so he could play in Europe, when he could have stayed home. Owen's stay in Real reminds me alot of Steve McManaman's, I hope Owen can jump Real's ship faster. Why they even got owen, when they had Raul and ronaldo, I'll never know.. anyway, Owens my all time favorite, I hope he comes back. Either him or Robbie Fowler.. (sw)

this is very funny BigD and Ju And Da, Liverpool will be playing TNS. ROTFLMAO, they have to go to wrexham to play a european tie. THe european champs have to qualify in each and every round


on another note. Props to Dean Ashton. He is a great young striker that could easiley move to another prem club, but he instead chooses to stay with Norwich and bring them back up. It takes a special player to stay in a situation like that, and he will be much better for it

Spanish soccer is way better than English

yeah, that's why there were two english teams, an italian team, and a dutch team in teh championsleague semis. And an english team won it. How many times have spain won the WC, none, england have at least won one, and should've won in 90, and really should've done better in 82.

and brazil has won five (6 maybe?) and there league still blows.. your point is??

Im not saying English club soccer sux, Spanish is just obviously better...if you dont know that, its either because you havent seen many of their games do to the limited coverage of the Spanish league (I believe only GOL TV shows it) or because you dont like watching sports in another language...I'm Mexican, I have no reason to defend Spanish league, but it is the best in the world, the games are the most exciting, and the top players' dreams are to go to Spain not England, no contest..

BTW, I havent been able to keep up to date on European soccer this past year because I moved to a place w/ no god damn cable...

I watch argentine football all of the time on fox sports espanol, and libertatores cup. Sapinsih football is good, but look at their record in european play over the last couple of years, outside of madrid and valencia none of the clubs have really done all that well. BTW, brazil's league is probably the best in this hemisphere

Yes... is the spainish league top to bottom better? No... the FIFTH team in english league won the champions league, ( That would be LIVERPOOL) so that should tell you of the depth. Is the spainish league more fun to watch? sure is, more south american players, alot more "exciting" league. Better league? Nope. And the best players in the world dream of playing for the club that pays them the most, and gives them the most money. You don't think players all over the world are chomping at teh bit to sign with Chealsea?


And Real Madrid, for all it's talent, have won nothing the last couple seasons.

Barca and Madrid are the only clubs in spain that players will drop everything to play for. Aresenal, Man U, and Liverpool have just as much history, and so does Tottenham. NOw chelsea has all of the cash and is in one of the best areas of London to live. Madrid and Barca are the only clubs in Spain to have won teh European Champions League/Cup, whereas in England Liverpool(5 times), Man U( twice), Nottingham Forrest(twice), and Aston Villa(once) have all won Europe's top club prize, also Glasgow Celtic which is a british club has won the top prize once.

I don't have UEFA Cup/Fair's Cup winners off hand, but English clubs have done well in that comp too, plus there have been several english clubs to have won teh defunct Cup Winners Cup(which for a time was considered the second top club prize).

Do I enjoy watching La Liga, of course, but the results speak for themselves and england has been one of the top destinations for generations, and it has been for a lot of clubs that england has been a destination, you just don't see an argentine player dying to go to Sevilla or Valencia

what about Atletico, osasuna,( and btw Sevilla and Valencia are great teams that would make Argentine players drop Boca and River in a sec.)
you cant tell me that Barca is not the most entertaining team to watch play, because it is. Look I enjoy watching Premier just as much as the next guy, but If Barca and Madrid where playing on Gol TV and Man U and Liverpool were on Fox Sports, I would be watching Gol TV .. NO DOUBT... Boca is probably (or at least from 2002 to 2004) the best team of the world ( results based of course) but that doesnt mean that the Argentine league is the best in the world, or that I'd rather watch Boca play than Barca.


Oh and what u said about brazil's league being the best in America.. you're kidding right?.. Argentine league is the best if you want to base it on accomplishments, or if you're like me and base it on which is more enjoyable to watch...its still the best. Brazilian league is OK, I enjoy the Mexican league more. In fact, if u made me rank top three it would probably be Argentine, Mexican, Brazilian..I am glad you watch the Argentine league though K-Dawg, now all u have to do is watch the Mexican primera division and become a Club America supporter and we'll be cool :wink:

Good post Party P, I think the Man U / Liverpool games I've watched on Fox Sports are some of the best I've ever seen. But the Argentine league is simply amazing, I haven't seen more than a few games though.

The Mexican league? What channels are they on? The only regular games I get are Premier League on Fox Sports.

Long Live Futbol, Honestly America missed the boat. I don't think it's going to gain popularity here for a while either because of the growing Lacrosse phenomenon... Yeah Yeah I'm partial to my sport. But honestly Lacrosse is the fastest growing game from 8th Graders through the Professional level in the past 3 years and it's growing faster now.

Lacrosse is the most entertaining game to watch and America is catching on, I would rather watch a Monday Night Lacrosse on ABC or ESPN than Football any day of the week.

Anyone watch/play Lacrosse?

okay, as far as osasuna, you had to be typing that with a smile on your face because you know how utterly silly that it is. Sevilla maybe, but valencia has only had a good run in recent years and had a good stretch in the early 80s. Quite frankly, I'd be just as willing to watch the Madrid/Barca derby as I would be to watch Manchester/Liverpool. As far as Barca being teh most exciting team this year, you obviously didn't watch chelsea when they had their full side going(aka, when Robben wasn't injured). Just look at how they took it to Barca at Stamford Bridge, that was probably one of the best games I had seen all year. You must've missed the champions league final, cause after Liverpool clawed their way back, I was on the edge of my seat for the rest of the match.


I do truelly believe that Brazil is the best league in the western hemisphere. I have watched them all to be able to compare(or at least watched as many as possible). You can also look at the results in continental competition, as Brazillian teams have fared well in all of the south american competitions. I do like the Argentine league a lot, and it is a great league. I think with the changes made in Brazil recently to their national competition is gonna really help the league a lot. The mexican league is definetly not as good as brazil, c'mon man, you're just saying that because you are of mexican heritage :-) . Watch the MLS, its a good league, and it is definetly improving year by year. Obviously it isn't of the best quality, but the play has definetly gotten better every year, and just look at how well the US National team has been doing since the MLS came into existance

Lol, i just logged on saw that and laughed solidly for 20 minutes.

As I said in a previously, Ive missed all European soccer in the past year.. and yes chelsea does have an amazing team.. but in my book, if Rohnaldinho is in a team, its the best team to watch play.




Not greeeat, really, the libertadores is the only reeeal competition w/ prestige here in America, and brazil has done well, BUT its honestly too hard to beat Argentine teams (at least these past years it has), if some one does ( like Once caldas) did so by fluke. I havent been following the libertadores for ever, but Im pretty sure if u check the Finals for the past years its gonna say Boca, Boca, Boca, Boca...I like brazilian teams, but honestly they develope new players and then they leave, they cant keep them there. Argentina can barely keep there players, and Mexico acctually does spend quite a bit in keeping, and buying good players (they cant compete with europe though, obviously)



what do you mean by this? that they added Robinho and others? and took out Roberto Carlos Cafu and all the old schoolers?



I hope that heritage part doesnt mean you think I'm some cholo that says Vato and stuff :-) ..Im from Mexico City, only came here to study.. anyway Im not just saying that cuz I'm Mexican, I say it because I've seen it first hand, I know the passion, and Ive played for the league..honestly it IS a great league, they have all their stars except Rafa Marquez from Barca (although I wish this wasnt true, and that more Mexican players were in Europe, it does make the league better) plus they have great international stars like Claudio "Piojo" Lopez from argentina, Cardozo Paraguay, A BUNCH of brazilians, and most of their South American (except Brazilian) players are starters/stars for their national teams. Honestly it is an exceptional league and I would say better than Brazilian, creeping up on Argentine. If I had taped the America v.s. Chivas game I would mail it to you.



I agree, it will get better, its a shame no one will watch it. What sux even more is that the national team is going to be a powerhouse in a few years (it is inevitable, the US just has better resources for athletes than any other country) and they wont get recognition for it. Honestly (hehe even though US nationals are HUGE rivals) I hope they do good, and I hope they get the soccer enthusiasnm gowing here. It will be hard though, my opinion is that the US doesnt like things that they cant own, they cant own soccer so it will be hard to get people to enjoy a sport in which other countries are involved.

I was at a party last night and we got into the Spanish/English league discussion, and although we all agreed the English leage is amazing we all thought that the Spanish league was better, I guess its an opinion (or cultural) thing , or it depends on what you prefer to watch in a game.

btw, just finished watching Brazil Germany, for anyone who didnt catch it, theyre repeating it on FSN in a couple hours. Also watching the U-20 World Cup quarters right now, Argentina Spain looks like its going to be a good match. Tomorrow Mexico Argentina in the confederation's semi's is gonna be crazy as well. the Finals are going to be amazing regardless.

and Jayson, Mexican league is on Univision sometimes, If you get a channel called Galavision, or TV Azteca, you'll be able to watch it there also..its not in season right now though :-)

fuck you queer..

Wohooo Steven Gerrards First Hatrick For Liverpool, its like the script was written for Holywood!!! Liverpool 3-0 Tns.
Did any of u guys see the game?

Was too busy cursing your namesake for bubbling out yet again... stellar number two pick I had. If I'd picked greenstein instead of junada, I'd be in first, not seventh

Lol, i got him top 5 myself but gave up on the Fantasy Pool about a couple of weeks ago. Team Juanda, if you can be bothered to look it up and tell me how poorly im doing.
I just wont be able to take the pain of being dead last!!

And Yeah you missed a Sombre game to be honest Crowd at Anfield was not its usual Vociferous self, being that it was a champions League first round qualifier against a bunch of Part timers.

Gerrard had an awesome game as his hatrick woud suggest, i dont think anybody on the pitch had a bad game, its hard to be troubled when ur opponents manage one shot on target the whole match.

Was good to see a few of our new signings tho aswell, i was impressed and Cisse made a 15 minute appearance and looked the best ive ever seen him.

Tns' Keeper Saved it from being 6-7 had the game of his life and fair play to the guy the last time he played against Premiership opposition Man City Put 7 past him.

uh, guys, it was just TNS. shit, Newport County would be able to win the LoWif they weren't in teh english leagues, and not to mention Wrexham. the fact that you only scored 3 at hom is kinda sad. Now bring out a real side when you face TNS at Wrexham's ground so that Wrexham can get some pounds in their bank and find a way to survive

Figo to Liverpool.

viera to juve also, which makes moi very happy

how well has Bolton been doing? I havent kept up on Europe, but they just bought Borgetti so i was wondering...

Long time No Footy Chat Gents, i think the previous post to this put me off replying for like 2 weeks... Someone actually cares about Bolton???

So what You guys think is hot and whats not recently?

opening day today, and my ManU won 2-0 at goodison, Ruud's goal was something sweet, it looks like he is back to his old form
