hey hey hey, it's not over! We still have a few England games to go. Guys? Hello? Where is everyone?
Oh yeah somethings been pissing me off.
WARNING RANDOM SUBJECT CHANGE:
Real Madrid and Barcelona are on equal points yet Barcelona are ahead on goal difference, i was watching Revista de la liga on Sky and the guy said Real Madrid were ahead on Head to Head.
....WTF is Head to Head?
BACK TO THE RECENT EVENT:
I wonder if Benitez will rip the team apart for next season even moreso than before this match, seeing how the story of Benitez's rein so far has been lack of attacking threat in the team, then again getting young talent isn't cheap either.
Awe come on that's international, now this thread is all about the ins and outs at club level predominantly.

I think it's silly that there's still internationals scheduled now btw. All the players are exhausted and in need for a holiday. I have a feeling we will see games that will actually top the fa cup final in non-quality.Mama Smurf said:
At least there's something to do though

Yeah i know, hence why I've never heard of that term, hence why I'm asking what the hell it is.
Oh I see so Barca vs Real Madrid carry such an extra importance than just a 6 pointer match. :O
Who do you think will win promotion via play-off my money is on Derby but my gut is saying West Brom because they're hooked on that premiership drug.

There's actually a B international this Friday too.

Probably more interesting than the game will be seeing if Wenger is in the crowd. It's rumoured he'll be there to watch Owen, we'll see if it's true or not.

I feel that 7 attackers have a better chance of scoring than 3. Yes it leaves the back vulnerable, but that doesnt even matter if you cant score a goal.
Gremio - Defensor Sporting starts right now, and the first match was 2-0 for Defensor, so Gremio needs to score 2 for penalties, 3 for a win (assuming Defensor doesnt). Lets see what strategy they follow.
(Theres not much seeing right now, the field is a smoke mine)
jamesinclair said:
Yeah but the way Milan are setup all they'd do is soak in the pressure and just spring a counter attack and score like they did Man U, and like I know all so well what Arsenal did earlier in the season to Liverpool. (senses hadareud with a big grin on his face).
Anyway even if we did have 7 attackers they'd still be as inneffective as they have been all season we don't have that many players who can come off the bench and change the match the story of our season I'm afraid.
Whereas in the barcelona match i DID shit one when Barcelona brought on the likes of guily as a sub, no human team should have that type of sub.
I'm very upset that liverpool didn't win the cup
Although we didn't deserve it two years ago , this time around, we did deserve to win it. Hopefully we can be a contender for the title next season and, yes, I'm trying to forget this defeat with alcohol. Congrats to Milan fans.

Congrats to Milan fans.too bad for Liverpool. i was hoping they'd win. they looked great for most of the game too. i was waiting for that miracle come back after their goal, but no such luck.
cool, have fun. the Home Depot center should be a great place to watch a game.
true, but these are the growing pains of an expansion team i guess. still, you guys have a great thing going up there. i cant wait to visit the place.
sorry if i missed it, but are you from the area (Toronto)? have you been to the stadium yet? looks like a real blast.
yeah, just talk mostly. he's not up for trade and i doubt we'd let him go. Celtic wanted him too, but were declined.
id hate to see him go for sure. i just wish we'd pay him what he's asking for. i guess thats what the qoute from the article meant about him having a rough season, cause it sure isnt his play on the field. (scored a goal on the road agains Houston last weekend
)

Reality is:
- Milan was penalized with 8 point in his score by the Italian Football Federation at the beginning of the season.
- Uefa allowed Milan Ac playing in the preliminary step in this Champions League edition.
- Milan won the final match
- It was a fair match
- Milan won the ****ing Campions League
Reality is, you are a sore loser.
So, please, stop blubbering about your own guesses and/or fancy.
Reality is rock solid in this case..

Just got finished with the match. Meh. I was hoping for a better game. If Liverpool had some better wingplay on the left side, this could have been a different game. Oh well. I'm not even going to wade into the "should AC have been in the Champions League" argument - all I'll do is congratulate the players and fans for AC, and I'll leave the management out of it... My condolences to Liverpool.
Yeah, I'm pretty excited about it. I haven't seen the Nats play since the debacle last summer in Germany.Daigoro said:
I hope he sticks around with NE, but who knows what's going to happen. He hasn't seemed very pleased with his contract situation for the last year or so, not to mention that he still seems bitter about not being able to leave for Celtic. The man deserves a raise. Same story for De Rosario.yeah, just talk mostly. he's not up for trade and i doubt we'd let him go. Celtic wanted him too, but were declined.

Gremio just beat Defensor 2-0 taking the game to penalty kicks.
I dont care about either team but a MUCH better game than Liverpool-Milan.
If Gremio wins the pnalties they will play either Cocuta or Santos in the quarter finals
If Defensor wins they play Cocuta

Its about as rock solid as air. Look, if we ignore the people that run milan and focus on the players, the manager and the backroom staff, then milan are worthy winners. The players and managers had no idea about match fixing so its not fair to criticise them. As a group of players, they were the team that deserved to win it. People can talk about how badly AC Milan played, but they got that bit of luck you need and inzaghi took his chance in the second half. Liverpool missed a handful of chances and they didnt create enough. If you score your chances then I guess you deserve to win, its as simple as that.Il Piccolo Fiammiferaio said:
However, you've got to include the other people that run the club and they did cheat. Milan were very very lucky that juve, lazio and fiorentina got relegated, but they somehow managed to stay in serie a. I know that the decisions were appealed, but you were very lucky not to have gotten relegated in the first place. Having to play the preliminary stage isnt a punishment, its easy for a team like ac milan to get through those preliminary rounds. The points deduction isnt a fair punishment either. Compare your punishment to juve's. I know that juve were the most heavily involved, but despite that, milans punishment was weak.
Anyway, Milan won in the end, so congradulations to them. They've been a fantastic team over the last 5 years. They've reached 3 finals in 5 years; thats one hell of an achievement.

Congratulations to Milan. I was at the game. Hard to take, but you guys won it fair and square. The Milan fans were magnificent too.
I took a video of Liverpool fans singing the day before the game in a central square, check it out:

Don't know why but that tickles my funny bone every time i look at that word.
I needed cheering up after last night.
Wow after all the trouble it took to get Gonzalez over here with the work permit we're just going to let him go like that.... then again he never did look comfortable in a Liverpool shirt.
Looks like we're going Left Winger hunting.

Richardson is on the market. He took world cup winner klebersons place in the team and he did score twice on his england debut. It just proves how much quality he has.Steroyd said:

Football365 talk about about yesterday's game
http://www.football365.com/story/0,17033,8742_2145893,00.html
The author of the article says that Liverpool's performance was the best from an eglish side in a final and that rafa's tactics were good, but what let him down were the players on the bench.

And here is football365's first part of their season awards. They've got some funny awards, such as cesc fabregas's worst miss award. There' also a court attendee of the season and the winner of that sounds very hot.

confirmation on Baptista's exit:
even though it's the right decision and I actually was quite vocal about getting rid of him, I still think it's a bit sad. I really wanted him to succeed, mainly because he's called the beast and he looks like one too. Such is life, goodbye.

Yeah, the general opinion seems to be the plan was fine, but the personnel were not. I'd have Crouch for sure up front. I've been banging the drum on Crouch against Milan for so long it's ridiculous. And Kewell over Zenden, though our options are so limited on that flank I can see why Zenden started. I mean, I didn't expect him to be good, but I also didn't expect him to drop an elephant turd of a game on us.
But whatever. Nothing can be done about that now. We did all we could.

And even i am moderately surprised
Okay, the statement from the UEFA guy ****ing stinks
"Collected responsibility of the fans"... what about collective responsibility of you letting fans throuhg 7 checks without checking tickets, thereby rewarding the people who ruin football and punishing the real fans.
Also - it's always tough talk when it's the English. I mean, our fans do have a bad element, but when any other country is involved it's a different story. See : death of leeds fans in Turkey "Oh, it's just the turkish passion..." ****ing cocksuckers.
