mojo2NV Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) Arsenal did finish above LIV.....But not above United.Welcome back Mojo. Haven't seen you here in a while mate. The kids indeed did not finish above ManU....kids Been busy slaving for the queen lately...cant wait for the next season....are you goin to set up another MTC EPL and CL fantasy league? Have you tried Hat trick? yes you make them, and you feed them. :thumbsupsmiley: and again, the inability to gain domestic success by Rafa is a highlight. yes, sad fact. but give time, any manager should deserve time to tinker with available options and adjust accordingly. Heck even Sir Alex himself almost got sacked not until after 5 years before he kickstarted to winning ways up till this day.honestly, id say give it 2-3 more years, (similar to Houllier's tenure) and let the magic begin. We add value and sell them on...3-4 times their originl value :thumbsupsmiley: dunno why but the word tinker reminds me of...Ranieri Looks like Rafa will have a bottomless bucket again this coming transfer period...as reportedly assured by the Yanks ibang klase this tournament.would you believe it? all the qfinals that have been played have been upsets, and this one is the biggest yet. after watching the group stages, i thought the dutch were the strongest team and russia were the weakest to go through. and this happens. and i would have to say russia deserved it. the dutch controlled possession, but russia by far had more chances.i wonder if spain can avoid the upset tomorrow?re rafa: true, towards the end of the season rafa did settle on a formation and rotated less. i think he found a formula that works (torres up front with gerrard as a support forward), but moreso because the league cup was over and liverpool was out of the fa cup. so there were less games to play and he could afford to start the same eleven. i believe one of the reasons why liverpool are so good in the champions league is because in the latter stages, their players are still relatively fresh compared to teams who play the same players in all competitions. Arsharvin have indeed tripled his market value....Russia lookedlike a different team when Arsharvin returned from his 2 game suspension holy mofg. Noooooooooo!!i cant believe what im reading. 3-1 to russia?!its going to be hard for Hiddink to step in his own turf after the tournament. expect snipers in the airport Guus.well what do you know. Adebayor might go to Barca or AC.acording to reports.'Arsenal want to sell him to Barcelona, for their own motives. Barcelona tell me they already have an agreement with the player.http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id...820&cc=4716whos next, bendtner? ROFL rumours.... rumours....even if this is true (which is highly unlikely)...what the heck...we bought him for peanuts and now Europe's top teams are drooling over him....from 7 Million to 31 Million in 2 years is not bad :thumbsupsmiley: Edited June 23, 2008 by mojo2NV Quote Link to comment
redshirt Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Yes, mojo. I will set up another EPL and UCL fantasy leagues when the time is right. DH, I told you ESP will win. Viva la España. Quote Link to comment
xycho_g Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 wahahaaha! spain won!!! got damn casillas the best goal keeper! Quote Link to comment
denimhead Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 spain escaped by the hair of their chinny chin chin ... if buffoon wasnt so buffoonish ..... rusiya will beat the castilaloys Quote Link to comment
redshirt Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) ^ I told you so, ESP will go through. wahahaaha! spain won!!! got damn casillas the best goal keeper!No, Scott Carson is the best keeper in the WORLD! (10) Edited June 23, 2008 by redshirt Quote Link to comment
denimhead Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 im willing to bet the spain supporters were shitting bowling balls the whole second half Quote Link to comment
duchessXI Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 nah, no bottomless bucket this season for Rafa. funds been constrained due to the funds being forwarded for the new stadium.just some tactical purchases this season with his usual trademark player + cash deals. lol, yah sell them for twice or thrice the price and get more kids. the reason why they werent able to last in the EPL and champs league was due to the fact that they did not have enough experienced players on the pitch when you needed them. Now they get Nasri? although a good buy, id prefer a star veteran player (esp with all the cash readily available) rather than a kid whos impressed with his club for just a season.Wenger better get his tactics on course again if he wants to replicate his zero-loss season years back. on the other end, i do not understand why Rafa would want to get Barry. we have surplus of midfielders and adding him would just further cause him agony of being placed in the bench. (although he would get the champs league exp he craving for) and of course, liverpool brand status, as all players england intls come from the top 4 of the EPL. o well, cant wait for the transfer season to start. i hate it when they cram for deals.

xycho_g Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 No, Scott Carson is the best keeper in the WORLD! (10) havent seen him play and he's young pa. haha. btw f#&king heckle and jeckle. ang mahal dun. 1 bucket P250 4 beers lng. pang kano pla dun tapos daming pokpok. haha. Quote Link to comment

Carson used to be no. 3 for liverpool 2 years back. was loaned to Villa and now Villa might get him for a record fee depending with the Barry offer. liverpool has a knack for creating World class Gks: aside from carson, Brad Friedel (no. 1 US GK, blackburn)David James (no.1 England GK, portsmouth)Jerzy Dudek (famous skeleton dance vs Milan in 05 champs league final which won them the trophy)Jose Reina (starter for liverpool, no. 3 for spain after casillas and valdes, incredible shot stopper) arguably the best GK for me due to the fact there is a sometimes fragile defense in front of him, and s@%t, do you see him throwing a long ball, its like the length of a goal kick but with maximum precision and turf control/bounce. idol.Chris Kirkland (now no.1 GK for Wigan, consistent at that)Sander Westerveld (now Gk for Real Sociedad) all in a span of, what, 10 years? tnx to the goalkeeping backroom staff.

Where is heckle and jeckle exactly in makati ave? Dutchess, WTF is wrong with Anfield? Why get a new one? Higburry was awsome why change it as well? And I think pepe is second fiddle to Iker. Valdez sucks balls. He's ESP's Scott Carson/Calamity James. (minus James' awsomeness when not in calamity mode) Edited June 23, 2008 by redshirt Quote Link to comment

He's ESP's Scott Carson/Calamity James. (minus James' awsomeness when not in calamity mode) theres absolutely nothing wrong with anfield. we just cant compete with other club's stadiums' seating capacity, hence the renovation towards a bigger stadium. same goes with highbury i think. i think valdez is good in my opinion, why would i choose him over my clubs GK, plus why would barca stick with him over the years. hes not with the catalonian giants for nothing. heck jeckl is along jupiter ave. parang sa may esquinita na maraming pokpok nakatambay. go there usually cuz thats where my friends go, and im not referring to the DOMs. haha just plain football loving fans whos there for the beer and the show. cheers. :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment

Mascherano currently play in that position and unless Barry wants to be benched/ or be 2nd fiddle to Mascherano...Rafa I think is just trying to secure the holding midfield position and have a straight like for like substitute (to go with his rotation policy :thumbsupsmiley: and have a deeper bench fo rhis favorite European games) Ifever I get to see that arsehole I will sucker punch him.Where is heckle and jeckle exactly in makati ave?

redshirt Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I get it then. But I really think Highburry and Anfield are one of the "legendary" stadiums allong with the santiagio bernabeu, old trafford,st. jame's park, camp neu, benfica's stadium of light to name a few... I really want the clubs to keep them so when I go to ENG I can take some nice pics and frolic at the pitch. I know it might be still there but where's the fun in an abandoned stadium....
