Lemonade Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 You've missed my point. I'm annoyed by the fact that they aren't bothered about it being one of the best games of the year, more bothered about what Beckham will do.Like Channel 5 suddenly deciding to run an MLS highlights show when Beckham went there, when absolutely no-one gave a fuck about it before (including Americans).

Guest Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Anyway so what if they only showed it because of him, its fucking ace we might get more italian football on tv, better than watching the boring prem league or the shocking scottish league.The premiership is great. Best league in the world, in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nev Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 Sanny - absolute MOTMA poor second to Bobby Linn I'm afraid.Shame Scotland's sweariest goalie only lasted three minutes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartmaxwell Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 poor beast fife. Their fans were a bunch of arrogant cunts last season so I'm lapping it up...im worried about saturday game with Shire. if we don't win... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 aye game over after 3 minutes. sounded like both sets of fans were enjoying themselves by the end though. good to get bebo on the score sheet as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 The premiership is great. Best league in the world, in my opinionwhy?90% of the games are played with 5 across the midfield with more consideration to not losing rather than trying to win games. Even Liverpool and Chelsea do it and they are suppose to have some of the best players in the world.Watch spanish football or Italian at times, the quality level is miles ahead of anywhere else, people actually look to win games. The prem league has become like scotland in the way that only Liverpool, Arsenal, Man Utd or Chelsea will win it, yes Villa have had a great season but they will most likely fall down to Euro cup hopes next season, just like we have the old firm up here and every now and again the likes of Hearts or Abereen can have a good season and push them.

The money some of these players get paid is madness and heaps of them would struggle to get a game up here for the old firm!!I mean 18m plus 70k+ a week in wages for craig bellemy!!! What a joke.Because of the money most of the teams appart from Man Utd and Arsenal are too scared to even try to play football, they play one up front and hope he gets a break or they get a goal from a set piece its so boring to watch and so overpriced to watch, can you imagine actually having to pay 45 to wach boro vs wigan.

Bebo's goals will only encourage JC to play him! He took his second well against a tiring defence but over the piece I thought he was poor. Decent night out although I missed the first 2 goals and sending off so the game was over by the time I arrived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 i watch match of the day most weeks and when they get to the 'tony gubba' games such as fulham v middlesboro or wigan v bolton, it is terrible!man utd are looking class right now mind, they have (as always) a really good balance of foreigners and home grown talent with kids coming through the system. thats why they should win the league this year with ease.best thing about the prem is the man city circus, how they're always linked with world class players and end up with bruisers like bellamy on a stupid wage for a stupid fee. but then again if you have that amount of billions to waste....

Lemonade Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Last night's game was like a training match, the fans pretty much just sat on their hands after the first two goals went in, and the players took their foot right off the gas in the second half. It was one of the most laid back atmoshperes I've ever experienced at Todders. Good to see us dominate from start to finish, though Ricky Foster was still shite and got skinned numerous times.3 goals this season now for Maguire, all against Alloa and East Fife. I guess he's found his level.... before he scored his goals he missed an absolute sitter, one on one with the keeper, defence was nowhere near him, he just needed to roll it home. Instead he absolutely wellied it and put it about 10 yards over the bar, from inside the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Maguire obviously has some talent, would quite like to see him get a run in the team playing up top with Handsome Lee.He should have definitely been put out on loan this year, though. Toughen him up a wee bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a neutral I'd take the Spanish league even though the Milan derby was absolutely cracking the other day. I do think that while the English league often isn't the most exciting to watch it is still a definite contender if you wanna compile a "best league" list. Sometimes the entertaining value can be kinda low, yeah, but I'm sure if you watched a game like Reggina vs. Lecce or Numancia vs. Osasuna there's a good chance it could be bloody horrible too. The whole "English teams do well in the Champions League" thing is flawed to fuck and I don't really wanna use it, but I dunno.It's a great league, probably not the "best" (what are the criteria for this, anyway) in the world, but a fine one nonetheless. On their day, Arsenal and Man United are two of the most exciting teams in the world to watch though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right about man utd and arsenal like, on their day they will beat anyone in the world i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 the only real big name world class player they got in was robinho but i got the impression the player himself didnt even know where he was going - did he not mention chelski in his press conference? it makes me chuckle how they're linked with the likes of buffon and kaka....but i agree how do you actually class 'best league in the world' anyways? football is football and you can see cracking games at any level, for example i went to see mildenhall town vs kings lynn reserves in the eastern counties league recently and it was a corker of a game!

Even Liverpool and Chelsea do it and they are suppose to have some of the best players in the world.Watch spanish football or Italian at times, the quality level is miles ahead of anywhere else, people actually look to win games.The EPL is still, generally speaking, a more attacking league than Serie A IMO. Only Roma and Genoa play what you could describe as attacking football most weeks. I think the Milan derby the other night has misled a lot of people - Inter still played with 3 defensive midfielders and basically played hoofball for Ibrahimovic and Adriano. If they appeared to be playing positively it's purely because Milan's defence, particularly without Gattuso and Nesta, is pish. Milan probably looked more attacking than usual as well, because if Beckham's utterly inexplicable arrival hadn't happened and Gattuso wasn't injured, they would be playing the same system that people whined about when they won the Champions' League in '07.
