I'm looking forward to seeing how Liverpool does this year. Suez is my favorite player in the league he, Andy Carroll and Charlie Adams will be there for the entire year hopefully. Delglish is also there for the entire year. If they can pick up some defensive help top 4 should be in their grasp. If Tevez leaves City do they become one year wonders? I'm rather new to this but I still can't see why Terry is so highly thought of? Chelsea's going to regret the move for Torres..

demonrail666 07.12.2011 12:14 PM

I don't think Tevez going will have that big an affect on Man City. They literally have the money to buy any player they want and if they seriously want to challenge for Champions League titles, they'll need to bring in better playerts than him. Tevez is always popular when he's happy at a club but his agent continually unsettles him.

As for Terry, a once very good defender who may be coming to the end of his shelf-life. He's a big presence in the team, maybe too big a presence and Villas-Boas is gonna have a job on his hands if he's even contemplating sidelining him.

Since Dalglish took over Liverpool, they definitely seem on the up. There seems to be 6 teams realistically looking at a top 4 finish next season (qualifying them for the Champions League: Man City, Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool. I can't see either MC, MU, or Chelsea failing to make it but any one of Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool could make the other slot. A lot's gonna depend on the transfer window, I suppose.

(i can see Tevez going to Real Madrid.)

i can't see why Liverpool sold Raul Merelles and bought Charlie Adam! Just like they forced Alonso to leave by chasing Gareth Barry. I must have missed something...but yeah, they are definitely a team who will do well this season (2nd again?)

I read he's pretty close to signing for Corinthians. A bit odd seeing as how it'll have to mean a major drop in wages.

chicka 07.13.2011 03:01 PM

Supposedly the move to the Corinthians is to be closer to his family who have moved back to Argentina as they just can't adjust to England and the language barrier. Yes Man U will probably stay in the top 4 because of their defense and Mancini's schemes. I actually can see Chelsea as the odd team out as they're old and bound to be bickering over playing time.

Paul if you're out there are we still going to have the liquid league this year? I hope so.

Redkapp still refusing to let Mordic go as Chelsea just upped their offer.

chicka 07.13.2011 03:05 PM

Also did anyone else catch the USA women against Brazil? One of the best matches I have ever watched male or female.

That's becoming silly. I respect them for standing up to a team like Chelsea but once a player decides they want to go it's difficult keeping them at any price.

And yeah, Pauly, is Liquid Football being revived for this season?

Saw it too and I felt happy the US won.
I must say I don't feel the same now Rapinoe ended French hopes (to me, she's among the best players of the tournament; she's been excellent in all her games, and it relieved me seeing her on the bench; then she came on...).

I was going crazy at home wondering when the hell she (Rapinoe) was going to get into the game. Clearly the whole game switched when she came in. She was the reason they beat Brazil and now France.

More EPL rumblings Steward Downing also on his way to Liverpool and Snjeder has signed with Man U.

Andy Gray and Richard Keys getting their opinions on women's football in early

Bertrand 07.14.2011 04:23 PM

Let me shrug off that insult with this...

I'd not seen that one before. Keys and Gray really are scum, and shame on Talksport for employing them.

chicka 07.22.2011 03:20 PM

Paul are you out there? The Barkley Premier Fantasy Page is up and running.
I picked a team today to join a public league. Still hoping we're going to have the Liquid League as my ego wants to see if I suffer a sophomore jinx or I move up into the top 5 this year. Can't wait for the season start. Lots of switches made how will they work out. Will King Kenny bring Liverpool back to the top or is Sir Alex to cagey to be caught? Is Villas Boas the answer for Chelsea? Is Torres washed up? Will Ashley Young become a superstar at the Old Trafford? Is my man Jermain Beckford ready to bring Everton to new glory? Will Luis Suez win the Golden Boot?

PAULYBEE2656 07.25.2011 01:43 PM

sorry guys..ive neglected this place a bit! yes dont worry as soon as the game gets going ill reactivate the liquid football league for season 6. if you are in it you will be automatically reentered.

chicka if your a facebooker, hook up there. i tend to use that more than here lately.

demonrail666 07.25.2011 04:12 PM

Pauly, I've had to set up a new account cos I lost the details for the last one so if you could post the league code for LF when you have it, that'd be great.

the ikara cult 07.25.2011 05:29 PM

I dunno if its worth bothering seeing as bertrand seems to sweep us all up every time. I reckon he has pictures of all the head honchos at the FA and he only keeps them under wraps if he's guarenteed to win the fantasy league year on year

PAULYBEE2656 07.26.2011 07:10 AM

Anyway, any of our US members see this?

Can never tell if I love Balotelli or hate him. Right now I love him but he's undoubtedly an utter wanker.

chicka 07.26.2011 03:51 PM

I would cut his ass and eat his contract before I'd put up with his shit. He is one for all and all for me his head is never in the game. He takes stupid fouls. Sure he's big fast and has a great shot when he feels like it problem is he never feels like it.

chicka 07.26.2011 03:53 PM

ok Paul I sent you a request on facebook I am also known as Mike Childs.
