wtf is Dzeko doing, this league is a joke if this isn´t punished.

he had tough fall on his shoulder. ref made up for those minutes. i don't see problem. he is not type of player who makes up injuries.

btw, i'm sad to see fulham and cardiff relegated... especially fulham.

on the other side, i'm glad leicster is back, but not happy for burnley to be honest (what to think about club who said it copied aston villa kits colors hoping to be like them one day). cannot wait the day to see leeds united back where they belong.


p.s. also glad that sunderland now have a very good chance to stay.

Am I reading this right? :CONF: A Liverpool fan is outraged at a player he thinks was pretending to be hurt? :CONFUSE:
 
what i mean is always referee to deciede if the player is diving, time wasting pretending injury or not... sometimes it is difficult to deciede, but yesterday, the player fell himself, not even a hard fall, the ref stand there for 4 minutes looking at him... Dzeko refused to stand, with medics coming on etc.. total farce..

all players dive, but the ref yesterday didn´t do what he should, the delay was to long.
 
Ah well, guess if Man City and Sunderland win, it won't be so much, Super Sunday on Sky.

Pity, as it would have made for an interesting finale.

well umm...what a performance by Liverpool so sad they will loose the cup this way i almost say Manchester City deserves it more after the match against Palace
 
The next Joey Barton lol Ashely's next interview he'll speak w/ a Italian- English accent. He'll probably start gesturing w/ his hands too.
 
There is so much ego with his generation. I've always wondered how Becks manged to captain the NT with so many loud mouths in the dressing room :?
 
Thanks for posting this Pipa.
Loved reading it.
People will see it as complaints from a player who never fullfilled his potential, but i have a feeling Bentley is right...
 
Nice article, but I tend to agree with his coaches. If he fell out with every single one of 'em then something is wrong with him, notice how he didn't talk about his time in Russia, because he can't blame it on PRs there. If he's looking for a reason behind his failure he should take a look in the mirror, but he won't because he's obliviously full of himself.

That Neymar/Sterling, James/Barkley comparison was hilarious though.
 
So eventually it finally struck him football is a business. A job. Wow, really?
Not the sharpest knife in the drawer, is he? :LOL:
 
UEFA were challenged before but it was rejected and nothing happened, UEFA just care about how thick their pockets are, and FFP is only there to protect the magic elite, FFP is the modern g14, corrupt shit only protecting the established elite clubs.
 
That's one hell of a spike. City relatively frugal :LOL:

I remember our splurge in the early 90's. Curle and Phelan most expensive defenders at the time at 2.5m. We had some decent players but Swales decided to sack Reid when we were 4th (after finishing 5th the season prior) and we went from shit managers to even shittier managers :CRY:

Good read... up 'till the conclusion (which's mostly one sided, but it's alright).

Good read indeed. But one thing I can't figure out is that there's tone of complaining from non-sugar daddy teams when there's ways to fight their dominance. Just look at the Spanish Example. In the 90's when Barça was overspending and dominating La Liga, RM develop a strong academy, and soon players like Raúl, Morientes, Helguera, Casillas, etc. came up and re-balance the power between the clubs. In early 2000's it was Barça who was struggling monetarily and RM galácticos that were over-spending, but a strong commitment to La Masia proved right. Even Bayern at the International level can only compete because they also saw the academy as their way to compete.

The number of top team players coming out from the academy of English clubs is ridiculous low (even with all "sharking" of youth talent all over the world). You barely see any kidthat goes to the first team. That should be the focus for teams without a multi-billionaire. Not complaining on how Abramovich ruined the league.
