Nicholas,

Er, it was me enquiring about Dos Santos. Cheers for the reply. BTW, Good luck with your fantasy league venture.

All squad members,

Following on from SempreSami's example (and linking in somewhat tenuously to this morning's Italian theme - he played for a large chunk of his career at Juve; and his most infamous game was his last international against Italy). Here's a compilation of 'The King' (Platini simply called him that), the maestro they called 'Zizou', the player that if I had to vote on who was the very greatest player of recent times I think my vote would go to him - Zinedine Zidane...

Platini is a fool, there is only one true king.

Ross K · 08-15-2008, 11:40 PM

Sempre,

Well, it's all about opinions... I share your opinion of Platini, and think Eric Cantona was an iconic, inspirational, semi-genius for Man U (and he really helped bolster the standing of the Prem. Lge in my view also.) For trophies won though for club (clubs) and country (such as Champions lge and World and I think Euro Cups), Zidane still gets my vote as 'king'. Anyway, both were utterly brilliant - and actually a bit alike IMO in spirit, having sublime touch, feel, skills, etc, an eye for goal, a love of the more physical side (and a tendency to enjoy a bit of aggro!

)...

To all squad members,

Do post up your club crests, crowd scene pics, fave players, funny photos, etc - this thread will only be as good as your contributions make it... and talking of funny photos... here's one who many will not miss here in England (perceived as arrogant and provocotive), and many others will (charismatic and funny.) I subscribe to the latter view (and he was a big time winner as well.) Shall be v/interesting to see what happens at Inter... annyway...

BTW, Good luck ppl this weekend if your team is playing.

R.

Sorry man couldn't resist, I don't mind Rangers, they've got an American playing for 'em. Shame Cuellar had to leave though, he was great!

Actually, We've got 2 playing for us now

Maurice Edu from Toronto for £2.7m confirmed pending a work permit.

Pedro Mendes..Man of the match...Fee agreed for Davis...Things are looking up! If we had King Carlos we'd be a force now

Finally the start of the season, and with it, the best hour on TV - the highlight show......

I wonder what will happen if Ramos has the same start as Jol did last year, which is quite possible considering the way Spurs played today.

What is up with Liverpool's away Kit, they look like a bunch of janitors with that boring gray.

Can't wait for the games tomorrow, common UNITED!!!!!

The green one is just as bad! It's funny though, their new home kit is the nicest around imo. The colour is much better than the old one it's simple but fitted so it's classy.

The grey and green ones though? Awful aren't they!

To Sharhar26 and others who might just be looking in here:

Anyway, if you want to talk football and join up, just tell me your name and your team/league, and you're in... like so:

1. Ross K... Tottenham Hotspur (English Premier League)...

BTW, I did chuckle at the janitor comment

. And I didn't at the Spurs comment

(although it's common for to them play brilliant in pre-season and then ragged and crap once the real thing starts

... let's hope Ramos knows what he's doing in the Prem. league, because to your average fan the tranfers in and out doesn't make much sense thus far... growwwl!)

Portsmouth looking crap against Chelsea, I wonder if they'll be like this against United

Bloody Harry Redknapp, I hate the saggy ****.

NickC · 08-17-2008, 06:33 AM

Chelsea were awesome today! What a display! Bosingwa was absolutely magnificant and as for their other new signing, Deco, all I can say is

What an absulutely incredible goal!

Seany · 08-17-2008, 06:34 AM

LOL, chelsea were f'ing incredible.

Feña14 · 08-17-2008, 09:04 AM

That was scary!

The pace and power is still there but the artistry, movement and creativity was mind blowing.

Portsmouth didn't play that badly as such, when we let off a bit in the second half we saw Portsmouth create some chances and looked decent. The first half though, they just weren't given the opportunity to do anything.. We were unplayable.

SempreSami · 08-17-2008, 09:06 AM

Oh please, Portsmouth played like crap, droopy Redknapp has made an error in selling a wicked midfielder like Muntari in favour of useless hatstand like Crouch to hoof long balls to (with which he doesn't know what to do).

What the hell?

You can only play as well as the opponent lets you. Newcastle played well today because Man Utd let them.

We could of easily drawn aswell today if we hadn't of shown the desire, quick passing, great movement etc..

Loco4Tennis · 08-17-2008, 09:22 AM

must i say more

Loco4Tennis · 08-17-2008, 09:47 AM

National teams:
#1 Bolivia
#2 Argentina
Bolivia local teams:
#1 Bolivar, always playing international games
#2 Wilstermann, my dads team
Argentina Local clubs:
#1 Boca Juniors, because of Tevez and also "pato" Bondanciery
#2 River Plate, because of D'Alessandro
English Premier League:
#1 Manchester United, because of Tevez, Ronaldo, Nani
#2 which ever team Tevez goes to, not too long ago West Ham
Spanish League clubs:
#1 Real Madrid, because of vannilsterroy, torres, Ronaldo (now i think)
#2 Barcelona, because of messi, ronaldiño, henry
American League soccer:
#1 DC united, because its the local team here is washington

Motherwasp · 08-17-2008, 09:56 AM

Poor result for United today, MOTD should be a good one besides that.

Breaker · 08-17-2008, 10:30 AM

Nice game by City today, even if the second half wasn't one for great defence. Played their usual go for it all aggressive style after the first half and but was matched and bettered by AV. City's going to be pretty good once their injured players come back and Jo gets back from the Olympics.

Newcastle played well today because we were light up front with Tevez gone and the reduction in creativity/effectiveness of Scholes when John O'Gay was brought on and the Ginger Prince was forced to carry him while usually Carrick is there to free him up.

Sorry to be a doofhead but what does this post ^ refer to? Plus also, do you want to be a member? Oh, and if so, one team will suffice!

To all Prem league fans (and especially those whose side lost),

It's probably worth remembering that this is only bloody week 1!!
