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

Second one is even better

So many struggle players in Lyon right now... Miguel Lopes is useless, Fofana, Koné, Dabo, Danic are bums. Mvuemba is never played. Benzia and Ghezzal are and will be shyt. Jimmy Briand still not traded Brittle ass Gourcuff is likely gone.

I don't think we will even be a Top 5 team in Ligue 1 this year

And the new stadium is still years from being finished

All black people look alike according to ESPN

According to ESPN, this lookalike is Sir Alex:

ESPN must be hiring work release prisoners as interns.

So Xabi is out for 3 months and Illaramendi is also injured leaving Real with Khedira who is also supposedly injured leaving Real with Modric and Casmerio for their midfield.Given how they played against Betis in midfield Carlo has some serious work to do in a lopsided league where a draw for the big 2 leads to questions about their title ambitions.

What happened to all the money they got from selling players and also the scouting department that always found replacements. Porto has a similar thing going for them but they have managed to get talent and replace players they sell.

Spurs closing in on Willian for £30 million , Spurs spending 30 million on one player never thought I would see the day, Spurs spending 30 million on a player before Arsenal . If it goes through they would have spent more than £90 million in the window . Madrid paying £93M for Bale he'll be the biggest flop in world football history if he goes right now. Spurs getting £90M + Coentrao in the deal

Porto allows 3rd party ownership

Lyon got a good youth academy, but their current first team is ass. They tried to make the step up to the Madrids, Barcas, Uniteds, Bayerns in the summer of 2009 but it failed.

 

[yoyoyo1]

a lot of smileys.

anyway, I like reading the comments complaining about Turkish fans and how "uncivilized" they are and that if the fans were British they'd be given bans and that disturbing Arsenal in the middle of the night should be illegal and how'd you like it if we did that to you only we don't because we're civilized and blah blah etc

a big to these people, would love to see them head to El Salvador or Honduras, at least they're getting the 5 star hotel treatment.

If they got 30 million on hand I got a player for them

Already a brand

You lyonese ?
But seriously top 5 is garanteed. On the long run, L1 is poor outsise Paris, Monaco, Marseille and maybe St-Etienne (I'm not even counting Lille anymore and they have their new stadium for a year now )
You'll be alright. It's a shme what Lyon have become because they were honestly a top 5 team in Europe around 2004/2008 (that Essien/Diarra/Juninho midfield ) but they always lacked a great striker and often lost against the CL winner (Porto in 04, United in 08, Barça in 09). And 2005 when they lost against PSV were the one they really could have won. If Benzema was 2 years older, I'm pretty sure, they would have had a CL final.
I still remember the epic matches against Madrid (Carew Fred )
