Let's just worry about getting second. We won't be catching wolves.
-
It's looking good at the moment but this is villa so take nothing for granted until we have the mythical '(R)' after our name in the league table.
-
All players go to the team that pays them the most money. It's not anything strange and I don't really see why they get called mercenaries. It's just capitalism at work. The 'i want to play in the champions league' shite that players come out with is just code for I want more money.

The gap is already there. It was a two horse race for title between the two Manchester clubs before the season started and the only club that *could* challenge them is Chelsea as they have an owner with deep pockets. For spurs, Liverpool and Arsenal they are a tier below and are in a fight with each other to finish fourth. It's not a top six as the sky propaganda would have you believe. It's a top three (although Chelsea are a bit disorganised) and then a secondary three and then the rest of the tat that makes up the best league in the world.

Bayern mopping up any talent in the bundesliga for a pittance, nothing unusual there.

Players that you think are Good/Excellent

Problem for Ronaldinho was he didn't have the hunger to really give 100% every week, and didn't live the life of a professional athlete (to say the least). If he had then he would have been one of the greatest of all time. But even at 50% he could still be the best player on the pitch in most games. Can't say I blame him, if I had half his skill and half his money I'd have built a tunnel from my house to my nightclub too. -
I'm not a FistFace fan by any means I have been hugely critical of him and his "non" style of play. However you have to say that we are right in the race for 2nd and if we sign Ulloa (as rumoured) then we really do have a big chance to get automatic promotion. The remainder of this season is make or break for Bruce. He'll either prove people like me wrong or he will fail but still have done enough to keep us in the playoffs.
-
I think it's been the plan for sometime now for the Jags to move to London. Once Spurs's stadium is built then everything they need will be in place. The issue they will have is that they will have to play ~4 games at home in a row and then 4 on the road and so on but it's nothing that can't be overcome.
-
Good stuff, the sooner you take action the better. If you let things fester than its much harder to fix them.
-
Jesus what a collections of sub-par managers that is. One day we will appoint a good manager.
-
His family live in Liverpool and are quite settled there by all accounts. I'm sure managing Newcastle suits him and his family life. Also it enhances his reputation as even if he fails nobody will blame him due to the ownership. He's a good defensive coach but isn't anywhere near as good as his reputation/clubs he's managed suggests IMO.
-
Errr...they are completely different games maybe?
-
Can he play right back? We badly need another one.
-
Bruce mentioned this issue when he did his ankle in the first place (it's mentioned in this thread). Wouldn't surprise me at all if he never made it back.
-
Sadly it's probably the going rate for someone like Walcott and that's before you take on his 120K a week salary. The game's gone.
-
I know Wales deliberately don't play many friendlies to keep their FIFA ranking artificially high but how can Giggs stand there in a Press Conference and say anything about how his team played in a friendly when he never bothered to play in them himself. I hope he crashes and burns.
-
They used to play a high chirping sound anytime a graphic changed on setanta back in the day, drove me nuts.
-
Liverpool do this as well. It means you are paying out good money to the players who are contributing to your team and not half as much to the Richards, N'Zogbia's, Gabby's etc. It a very sensible approach and I'm surprised most teams don't do it.
-
If the figures reported on Monday Night Football are correct he's doing alright by this move. 300K + a week, around 1 million a month, 12 million a year. The lad won't be in the poorhouse.
-
He said yes when they asked him if he wanted it. After being turned down three times Stoke needed someone they knew would take it.
-
I think I know what their reply will be. Payoff, in full.
-
Unless they win the EL it looks like it will be another year with no champions league football which will eat into all that money they have. I wonder how long they can last without CL football before they have to scale back spending and wages.
-
I wasn't that surprised. They play a fast break counter attacking style that is the exact type of football that's going to cause City problems. City's weakness is the back four & the space in behind them and Liverpool can exploit that on the break.
-
I wouldn't be, Hernandez is turd. He's just a poacher who barely scores and offers nothing if he doesn't get you a goal.
-
Otamendi.
