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

[EQ.]

The Lativian 3rd division isn't producing talent like that breh.


Liverpool lost £50 million on Adam, Carroll, Downing, and Aquillani.

Levy set them up, he consigned that Commoli appoinment like " Yeah i think he'll make a great acquisition for your organization"

Just finished reading Jonathan Wilson's book on Eastern European Football and it took me a while to finish because all the random names and cities and teams and problems just started blending together.

This team was the army team and this team was the people's team and there was corruption and the army general got killed so his team started to slide and the Soviet Cup Final of 1973 and Armenia's/Georgia's/Hungary's great (team) of (year) and Russian oligarchs and Soviet politics and the war stopped the league and dusty undeveloped roads and the match had to be replayed after allegations and this team changed names 3 times and everyone has a bunch of money problems.

All the smaller countries had their golden era to remember forever, Yugoslavian and Soviet football was fukking amazing back then, and the post-Communist split/Balkan Wars broke apart the structure and as a result absolutely everyone is struggling without government support and most leagues are much smaller and insignificant now.

Nice little stories to read though, even if I remember fukk all afterward.

The daps I get relating to forums/podcasts etc has led me to make a bit of a 'master post' on these matters, will put it together and have it ready later.

Surprisingly fast:

streams
http://www.firstrowsports.eu/ - flash streams, more variety
http://atdhenet.tv - same, one link a game mostly so have backups if they go down
http://nutjob.eu/ - flash streams, you shouldnt need anything past the first two links but good to know anyway
http://www.wiziwig.tv/ - flash, sopcast, last resort


podcasts
http://www.theguardian.com/football/series/footballweekly - easily the best podcast, grates at times cause they always trying to be witty and funny
http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/5lfd - most content of the list, basically taken straight from bbc 5live radio. monday night club is great, and they have recaps/interviews in audio form
http://podcast.timesonline.co.uk/rss/thegamepodcast.rss - another mostly-prem podcast, its a good alternative
http://meninblazers.buzzsprout.com/ - kinda smug wannabe-funny (brits in the united states, what a novelty!!!11) but always a decent listen for recaps

news/articles
http://www.theguardian.com/football - not straight news, mostly articles from around europe and asking questions
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/index.html - straight news, very in-depth

shows
match of the day - obviously highlights for epl matches, downloadable from various places like

forums
http://matchofthedays.com/forum/ - has a bit of everything
http://www.soccershouts.com/forum/forum/11-soccer-media-and-requests/ - bit of everything, you have to register though
http://www.nhltorrents.co.uk/login.php - I've found this one just recently, awesome site with german/dutch/french shows, but torrent site and with ratios if you dont mind that

the thing about the match/highlights uploads in the forums is that it's a very small community who actually bothers uploading stuff. and they cross-post in the various forums and sites you may see around there.

for us-people i think none of this stuff will actually matter now with the epl tv deals and the new espn/fox soccer shows along with the nbc american motd ripoff. guess this is just for 'extra' stuff

anything else?

Clint said he wanted to play with more freedom and get to express himself in the attacking third

Definitely confirms he was unhappy at Spurs on that front and with the selfish ass players he had to play with.

And just he mentioned playing with a team that has a good style again.

Can't say I disagree.

I take back my reaction on ESPNFC yesterday, maybe it's cause it was the first show and they had technical difficulties

And apparently the redid the show for 12am with full German and French highlights.


Almost all USA based today. Dempsey, EPL talk, US in Bosnia talk
