Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

[Mané Swagincha]

Frush, i really dont know where to begin with you, ill just get one point across and that the World Cup isnt for another two years and right now our promising players are at their make it or break it point.

Our biggest problem is Mano trying to play the 4-3-3 when everyone knows that national teams arent like clubs, where you can play attacking football. If he'd stuck with the same 4-3-3 during all these years of building then we'd be playing some sexy football but since hes gotta test new players, formations, olympics, etc. then he should adopt a more conservative line-up.

Hulk, i believe should play up top, hes got the build to win aerial challenges and can take on a defender or two, and i hope he does go to England, he needs a higher learning curve and i think he can adapt quite well, hes got a canon on his left foot but for godsakes he isnt Messi

Whose wife was Alan Thompson shagging? Aka why was he sacked?

Dunno if he was messing with anyones wife. He's a bit of an ugly c*nt, our Thommo.

“Alan was a 38-year-old middle-aged bloke who was behaving like a teenager.

“He was out boozing too often and got himself blootered once too often for Celtic’s liking.

“The view was that he was becoming a bad influence.

“The opinion was that he had turned into the sort of guy Neil Lennon would be better off without.”

I enjoyed this quote:

Sources say he threw himself into a bachelor’s lifestyle after splitting last year with his wife Joanne – a lifestyle which has now cost him his job at the club he worshipped.

Joanne, mother of Thompson’s three children, has said he is in the grip of a “mid-life crisis”.

After their split, Thompson bought a bachelor flat in the swish Park Circus area of Glasgow and began dating model Kirsty McLeod, described as a one-time Britney Spears lookalike. The pair were photographed leaving the flat together last summer.

Well he is a Geordie, so his behaviour is no real big surprise. Just look at Gazza

Olympics mate, only 3 or 4 players in the 23 man squad can be over 23 years old. So our recent friendlies have been with some of our top prospects. We'll rarely see gems like we did in Phat Ronaldo and Rivaldo, etc. But you can add Lucas Moura, Oscar, Casemiro and hopefully Damiao to that list of Brazilian league talent

The reignited issue threatens to overshadow England's preparations and it raises the prospect of the squad's black players being placed in uncomfortable situations. "Rio is very angry and he feels that every black player in Britain, every black fan and everyone in the black community has been insulted by this," the source said.

rather have Kevin Strootman if we are going to net in a midfielder this summer, the Euros will be his chance to shine and show his talent

Euros ? He aint seeing the pitch breh.

 

[SCORCH]

Rio don't wanna accept them football reasons

Give it up you mug.

 

[Ukbrotha]

Nah, He just dont support racists.

 

[SCORCH]

ESPN been showing quite a few 30 for 30 recently.

Watched the LA/Oakland Raiders one last night. Good stuff.

Am I right in thinking Al Davis was a bit of a boss?

Nah, He just dont support racists.

Terry > Ferdinand

Come at me bro.

 

[Ukbrotha]

Terry > Ferdinand @ being a racist

For sure, no argument from me.

 

[SCORCH]

For sure, no argument from me.

It's almost as if you don't want to discuss the football reasons.

 

[Ukbrotha]

What football reasons? I said Rio just dont support racists. It almost as if you're ducking the fact your brave captain lionheart is racist...almost..
