West Brom are a force at home especially, Clarke is doing very well.

Southampton are basically down, they need more than a miracle.

Learnt his trade and worked under alot of good coaches, instead of the usual #2 route of either working for one job under the same manager for a couple of seasons then goin off on your own, or being that career #2 under the same bloke goin from club to club

Pitch Invasion podcast. It's not your typical podcast, it's interviews and discussions about the American supporter culture, and sometimes supporter culture around the world.

Pitch Invasion - A Soccer Culture Blog

It really is the best soccer podcast I've ever heard. Not in terms of entertainment or silliness or analysis, but just about the people involved in the American game.

Where better to delve into supporter culture than America really. The development of a sporting culture like this has never been documented to the extent it has been (forums, podcasts, twitter, etc) so it's nice to see how far people have come.

Ian Darke is very overrated.

I agree. I don't wanna sound like I'm hating but man is overrated as hell. I focus on commentators a lot cuz I wanna be one after I graduate and Robbie Thomson who commentates Ligue 1 is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The FB political fukkery has already begun

Twitter is about to be bonkers. If Norm Macdonald is tweeting for the election it could be a classic night

I hate it but I love it

this is true, but he also took over at a club which has a good mix of being a solid defensive unit and also having players who can score... long, lukaku, odemwingie is a stronger attacking trio than a lot of clubs.

plus they have some handy midfielders.

example of the right way to run a club tbh.

Neymar is doing everything right before he snatches Messi's throne, imo he shouldnt go to Barce though, he's gotta do his own thing at a team that will be his, and that he'll call the shots, challenge Messi and Barce in the CL at least and he'll be the World's Best.

Messi is 25 years old, he isn't going anywhere.

 

[gho3st]

long, lukaku, odemwingie is better than at least 10 premier clubs.

La Liga plays football at such a high level, i Can't believe some people still say PL football is better.

PL is more entertaining that's why its better

African Player of the Year - Ten-Man Shortlist
Alexander Song (Barcelona/Cameroon)
Andre Ayew (Marseille/Ghana)
Christopher Katongo (Henan Construction/Zambia)
Demba Ba (Newcastle United/Senegal)
Didier Drogba (Shanghai Shenhua/Ivory Coast)
Gervinho (Arsenal/Ivory Coast)
John Obi Mikel (Chelsea/Nigeria)
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Saint Etienne/Gabon)
Yaya Toure (Manchester City/Ivory Coast)
Younes Belhanda (Montpellier/Morocco)


Gervinho? really? is that deserving?

obviously I want Ba to get it, but it will probably be Katongo, maybe Toure
