It's sad that the final years of Piqué, Iniesta and Messi will probably be spent underachieving...
Iniesta expressed some thoughts a couple of days ago and it sounded like he wants to leave. In addition to that Messi still didn't sign his new contract and he will be able to transfer without any fees in January (statement from Augusti Benedito, german source).
They fucked up big time...

I won't shed any tears, they could use some humbling.
Ehhhhh, Pique maybe... but Iniesta's a pretty nice guy


...and Messi can do whatever the fook he wants, he has earned the right.



If I can see Messi play at Stoke I'll die a happy man. Make it happen, City.
 
They are trying really hard to fuck it up

Looks like it's over now though. Shame for their unbeaten run, also shows you gotta be prepared for anything in the CL.

I actually meant Barca could use some humbling, but since they use their players as illegal agents in transfers, I don't care too much about them either.

Michael Owen and Owen Hargreaves should sign on to do the commentary for PES. The thing is, it would probably actually improve PES commentary.

They'd be less insightful than the female commentators in Adidas Power Soccer who made lewd puns throughout the match

No please

I legit mute the commentary in PES, its pure shite

It could probably legitimately be used as a torture tactic. I can imagine in a time of war Governments playing sound clips of PES commentary on repeat for days to extract info from prisoners. The thing is, you could do that with Owen and Hargreaves commentary too.

Incredibly inhumane. Wouldn't do it to my worst enemies.

Sneijder and Balotelli in for Nice. Hope Napoli don't fuck this up.
Not gonna happen. Napoli are way too strong for these bums, especially with Mertens up front. Surprised to see Seri playing though what with his imminent transfer to Barcelona.

25 minutes into the game away at Palace with a bunch of kids and it's currently 0-0.

I think Ronald or Frank De Boar will be the first manager out.

It's between Bilic and De Boer for the sack.

Rafa Benitez for the walk. He ain't staying.

I think if Bilic gets sacked I can see Rafa being poached by a club with actual ambition.

Why does he wear the mask!?

Get Van Dijk back up to fitness and we have this:

Cedric....Van Dijk.....Hoedt....Bertrand

Probably one of the best back four in the Prem.

Basaksehir did great in the first half. After the early goal they pretty much salvaged their power for the second half and a (hopefully) second goal.
It would be so much easier, if they hadn't lost the first game; undeserved imo.

Anything with Clive Tyldesley is bad, he is hands down the WORST commentator in footballing history; he is the perfect combination of annoying voice, pointless meandering commentary and stupid 'clever' one-liners that never land.

Before you throw out your Niall Quinns and your Robbie Savages and your Trevor Brookings, let me remind you of this fucking gem

"JUSTICE FOR THE ENGLAND ELEVEN!"

Man, watching a team with all this possession, chances created, & shots is so boring. Poor football from Napoli, they really need to lob the ball to midfield & stop playing from the back because it clearly doesn't work.

I kinda expected it. Now they are playing like a real turkish team: Like shit. :D
The quality is just not there; especially in central midfield, which is often overrun in mere seconds and on top of that they do nothing to structure their attack.
