Football (Soccer)

wow and i thought Nascar wasted a lot of fuel....

 

Right after Birmingham City have to cancel a match because they don't have the under-pitch heating capabilities of pretty much every other Premiership/top Championship team. Irony

 

i find amusing how two former leeds players demolished Leeds this week

 

Ridgewell scored for us in a derby after leaving, and now Carson has too. At this rate we should sell Knight and Shorey to Wolves when they go up. Should guarantee six points.

 

Fuck Le Mans - Lille and Nancy - Nice have also been postponed.

 

!

Getting closer still.

 

About time Rennes started getting results to be honest, they have had a great youth setup for a good part of the 21st century, its good to see them where they are now, GO RENNES!

 

Nice goal by Gourcuff yesterday against Paris:

And awesome one by Sow against Grenoble (at the beginning of the second half)

Oldham 2 - 1 Hartlepool United

damn we have a match on friday too!

 

That Gourcuff looks like quite a good player

 

A lot of people talk about him as the new Zidane (which is a bit too early imo but I'm sure he'll be a "big" player in the next few years).

He's a loan of AC Milan by the way (he wanted to move from Milan because he didn't play enough).

 

wasnt Gourcuff a Rennes Youth System product? i remember seeing him with Rennes in Fifa Manager 06 or 05...

 

Yes he was : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoann_Gourcuff#Carri.C3.A8re

 

If Kaka actually signs for Man City I will eat my own right hand.

 

Gourcuff is a brilliant player. He had the choice of joining us or Milan and unfortunately he made the wrong decision because his career has pretty much halted ever since.

 

haha West Ham are complaining that they only have 900 tickets for the FA Cup match with Hartlepool United.. i think they are guna be a bit upset when they see our ground and the maximum capacity is only like 7,500

 

Haha, he won't. Kaka has said he wants to, "grow old with Milan", just like the rest of the Milan players.

He won't leave, and I'm glad, Man City are going the wrong way about signing. They should be using that 100m to sign about 6 quality players for the team, not just relying on one player to solve all their problems.

 

Okay there's PSG - Lens in the quarterfinals of the League Cup tonight but all the radio stations and tv channels talk about is that flag of last year (like that never happened before).

Edit : PSG 2 - 0 Lens

Semi-finals:

OGC Nice - Vannes
Bordeaux - Paris

 

i said once and i'll say it again, MONEY SPOILS FOOTBALL and also MAN CITY ARE A BUNCH OF INDIVIDUALS, theres no team ethic at all since Eriksson left
