_eRon_ Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 sabi nga nung discussion about up and coming sides sa espn; tottenham will challenge for the final champions league spot next season; juande ramos is a great tactician and manager; the spurs will be an exciting side this coming season .. berbatov will be a manutd player in 48hrs; declared the bulgarian striker to his teammates at spurs ---> sana nga; he will be a welcome addition to the EPL champs; kitang-kita ang lack ng finishing sa game against Portsmouth sa Community Shield kasi wala si Rooney at C.Ronaldo; having berbatov gives manutd a big sturdy forward who's strong in air, can hold the ball up and finish if needed; a quality signing for me; good choice by sir alex yey! EPL season na ulit! puyatan na nman to sa mga EPL at CL games; i hope ManUtd can defend their crowns well this season.. any olympic updates? napanuod ko 1st half ng game ng china vs brazil; lamang brazil 1-0 at the half Quote Link to comment
biggyprox Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 a lot of things do happen off the pitch, mas lalo na how management handle their side but at the end of the day its still that 90 mminutes on the pitch that'll matter. I know that it'll be hard for keegan to make good on his word that he will be contesting everton for fifth place in the epl. Man, for me that would be a fantasy in itself. To follow in the foot steps of leeds, definitely not, that is most unlikely, the club has been a main fixture in epl for years. My best hope for the club is to finish at the top half of the heap. 10 or 9th place, would be a great season for me. And as a new season comes, there is also new hope that the big four wont be in their places at the end ofthe season. Last season was a giant for english football, but could one of the teams please contest arsenal n liverpool. If tottenham are the next ones, sana nga or maybe pompey, they did win the fa cup. Everton is always a serious contender to be one of the big boys. Hopefully this season we will see a changing of the guards. Quote Link to comment
_eRon_ Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 tama ka biggyprox, most probably everton, portsmouth and tottenham will be the ones to challenge liverpool and arsenal for the 3rd and 4th Champions League spot.. Portsmouth are a quality side; their defensive line is superb; diarra and kranjcar are quality midfielders; crouch and defoe are in theory a great pairing but need more games and practice to execute quality attack play; what they need are wingers to supply crouchy with quality crosses so he can score or dish out some assists to defoe Everton are also a quality squad; cahill and arteta are the key players here; their main problem is their shaky defense which has shown late last season is still not consistent enough to win key games for them Tottenham is also a quality side; juande ramos is signing quality players to his team; making sure that each position has consistency; the main problem of spurs especially last season is their inconsistency; with ramos' leadership i know the spurs now have what they need to challenge for a CL spot sana wag ma-unsyami un berbatov deal at maging manutd player siya; tpos magdebut siya against newcastle and he scores a goal in his debut game Quote Link to comment
biggyprox Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 yeah, i wouldnt mind if berbatov does score for manu against newcastle. he's a great player. just wondering how tottenham would fair now that keane is with the livers. wouldnt it be a smack on the face for benitez if either tottenham or portsmouth do grab champions league spot from liverpool. hehehe! by the way, any new on ac milan? heard that kaka will be leaving... maybe there isnt enough room for any more brazilian egoheads in that italian club.
