Re: The Barclays Premiership / Champions League Thread

this year rafa made quite a fair bit of baffling decisions tactically.
then again,he trains with the players every day, so he knows who is better suited for what kind of games best.

we get the easy job, sit down in sofa, one hand clutching beer, another had gesturing, we criticise decisions made when any gamble fails, or hail his tactical onus when it gets pulled off.

and also the players have to shoulder some blame, loss of form and lack of hunger and invention. they played :bullshit: at times.

that said, I still think Rafa is still a fine manager, astute tactician and he gave us the 5th CL cup in his first season. :D

Anyway, as for players. All teams will have fine players who r great and yet cannot replicate the form or gel in with the team they joined, not just liverpool.

Shevchenko - chelsea? Juan Sebas Veron/Diego Forlorn - Man U? Davor Suker - Arsenal? Mendieta - Boro? Riquelme - Barca? Saviola - Barca/Madrid? :eek: :eek: :eek:

hmmm....Collymore. He had a fine 1st season. but all the off-field partying he had got into him. machiam like ronaldo(brazil), ronaldinho. :boxing:

Will Man U cash in?

Real in £150 million Rooney bid
No one is safe from Real Madrid it seems, with the big spending Spanish side preparing an audacious bid for Wayne Rooney and Fabio Capello.

The Spanish giants are preparing a £150 million raid for the free-scoring Englishman claims The Sun, offering Manchester United £90 million for their talismanic striker and the player £250,000-a-week for five years.

Their spending spree will not stop there however; with Real reportedly also set to launch a bid for England manager Fabio Capello after the World Cup.

Capello has managed Real twice before, and has led them to the La Liga on both occasions.

Despite Capello being contracted to England until 2012, Real president Florentino Perez has shown previously that he is not overly bothered by red-tape.

Rooney is enjoying his best form so far having found the net 34 times this season and is yet to commit to a new contract with two years left on his current deal.

Real will tempt him with a five-year contract worth £60 million matching that of Cristiano Ronaldo's and beyond United's stringent wage structure.

Perez is desperate to recreate the Rooney-Ronaldo partnership, with Capello at the helm.

Capello has initiated the ‘come-and-get-me' game mentioning to the press that: "I like new situations. I won't close any door.

Re: The Barclays Premiership / Champions League Thread

pool has nothing to fight for. they might just give it away to prevent man utd winning the league 19th times.
i dun rely on pool.

Re: The Barclays Premiership / Champions League Thread

chelski lost to spurs and still has to play pool. things might just go belly up for em
 
Re: The Barclays Premiership / Champions League Thread

3 more to go, still chelski's to lose. 1 point ahead with better goal difference.

Man U:
- home vs spurs
- away at sunderland
- home vs stoke

Chelski:
- home vs stoke
- away vs 'pool
- home vs wigan

wigan still fighting for survival. :whipper:
