Dennis Wise is also in the frame to land a top job at Newcastle. The Leeds boss is being lined up to become director of football at St James' Park. (The Mail on Sunday)

Can the fucking Premier League get off our backs, how the hell are you suppose to win anything when the bastards above steal everything that is ours. Loosing Poyet almost destroyed the team, and now the manager too? I feel hate.

Yeah, Ajax couldn't beat NEC (1-1) so we're still 3 points ahead.

This year's Eredivisie is really really exciting stuff:

Code: 
                       GP        Won   Draw  Lost   Points       GS              GA
1	PSV	        19	12	4	3	[B]40[/B]	41	-	15
2	Ajax	        19	10	7	2	[B]37[/B]	53	-	27
3	Feyenoord	19	11	3	5	[B]36[/B]	35	-	16
4	FC Groningen	19	11	3	5	[B]36[/B]	31	-	30
5	SC Heerenveen	20	10	4	6	[B]34[/B]	48	-	27
6	FC Twente	19	8	9	2	[B]33[/B]	30	-	16
7	Roda JC	        20	9	6	5	[B]33[/B]	37	-	31
8	FC Utrecht	20	9	5	6	[B]32[/B]	44	-	34
9	Vitesse	        20	9	4	7	[B]31[/B]	28	-	24

Twente is beating Groningen at the moment, which would put Twente at fourth place with the same amount of points as Feyenoord and Groningen.

Also, note that AZ is not even in the list. They're the current number 11, where last year they could have been the champions if they had won their last match.

Also the next few playrounds are very exciting. This wednesday/thursday there's: Ajax - Utrecht and Feyenoord - Twente. Luckily PSV's got it easy (in theory atleast) at home against Sparta.

Next weekend PSV's got it easy again (again, in theory ;)) against Excelsior at home, whereas Feyenoord will play Groningen at home and Ajax will meet Vitesse in Arnhem.

This is really the time for PSV to grab a decisive lead.

EDIT: AC milan still 0-0 against Udinese, Juve 0-0 against Sampdoria.
 
One of those games I really didn't give a fuck about.

Man City v West Ham sounds like it should be more interesting, but we have a couple of very recent matches that shit all over that idea.
 
This Juve match is shit. These people need to fucking stop diving. I've seen 4 or 5 that would be at least yellows in the Premiership.

I'm sure it's fascinating on a tactical level.

That's what the Serie A fans call Italian football games, fascinating.

We just say shit.
 
Oh, the tactical level. I completely forgot about that.

Poor Pato. If only he was English, then nobody would expect anything of him.
 
You guys are watching it all wrong, the UKers anyway. You're not supposed to watch the halves, just the pre-, half-time a post-match analysis.

With lovely, lovely Laura.
 
Oh god it's finally over. I hate it when people think a draw is a good result. Especially nil nil. They really need a rule where nil nil games go to the higher ranked team unless the game was good. Or just fucking fire somebody for this shit.

City Hammers is going to be nil nil too I can feel it.

The fucking italians really do just live in the woodwork.

I know you're only messing, but that makes no sense. Should be the lower placed team if it's 0-0.

But that encourages those results. If a team can't use the park the bus strategy to make it nil nil then they'd have to at least attack. Sampdoria had one or two shots in the whole game, they'd get the ball and not even try to go forward.

The better method would be to just make them go to extra time if it was 0-0.
 
But your way would just encourage the best teams not to try and attack, if they could get the points at 0-0. And it's a hell of a lot easier for a top team to play out a 0-0 than a poorer team.
 
HOLY SHIT COLE WHAT THE FUCK GOOOOOOOOOOOL

WOWOWOWOWOW

How about that Italy?

Mama that sucks I dunno how to fix it.
 
I don't think he was offside, was he? He was when Petrov's ball came in, but that didn't go to him. By the time it came off Bianchi (?), Vassell was onside.
 
this game is getting rough lol. Bodies are starting to fly.

This is what makes the EPL better, in my opinion, than any other league in the world. The physicality of the league puts the game on a whole other level and demands that much more from the players.

EDIT: btw, is my avatar loading correctly or no?

he was offside when the ball was crossed, as soon as he touched it afterwards it should have been whistled.

I just don't think he was interfering. Once the ball didn't go into him, him being in an offside position when the cross went in is over, imo.

I'm currently stuck at work! I've got people waiting for me in my flat, enjoying themselves while they wait for me. 8'(
 
Just a heads-up: Ghana - Guinea in 10 minutes.

Can't find the lineups just yet, but I think Addo will play for Ghana. He's the only Eredivisie player at the Africa Cup.

I dont usually like watching serie A, but I love watching Juve matches because watching my dad when he's angry at the Juve players is quite amusing.

I'm not sure. He was in an offisde position, but he wasnt interfering with play when the cross went in.

Offsides for those sort of situations have been given loads of times though. It happened yesterday in the United game when Ronaldo took that free kick and Vidic headed it. There were other United players offisde but Vidic wasnt.
 
I think the rule needs to be clarified and given to an official upstairs somewhere with some high form of technology who can get it right.
