oh, schalke arsenal finally ready to watch on replay, w00t!

demonrail666 · 10.24.2012, 04:08 PM

Yeah. I think there was a lot of doubts about Mancini last season but winning the Prem covered over the cracks. He seems to be a terrible man Manager and must have lost some authority in the dressing after reinstating Tevez and Balotelli. He's too emotional, which can come across as passion when things are going well but hot headedness when they aren't. I'm expecting the back pages to start filling up with 'Mourinho to the Etihad' rumours.

No one can love a team that has Suarez in it.

A great match, that was.

I remember everyone wanting the Palace team for Subbuteo just because of the strip - and the fact they could be doubled up as Peru!

i've always loved that kit, but just presumed that was me being biased

when they have tried to bring it back in recent years it's been a pretty poor version.

YES.

I think City will have a really bad season, and Mancini will go.
For me, Chelsea look really good. I reckon they'll win the league

demonrail666 · 10.25.2012, 04:11 PM

MC seem to be going backwards this year. I'm increasingly starting to think Mancini's just out of his depth. And yeah, Chelsea are the surprise package for me. I really thought they'd plummet. Although it still seems too freaky for me to be able to take DiMatteo seriously as a manager. But I keep thinking that and he keeps proving me wrong.

He might be my favourite player in the prem right now. Definitely one of them. Impossible to condone, though.

Spurs getting a 1-1 draw in Slovenia tonight...

We're probably not going to win the UEFA CUP (I refuse to call it the Europa league) and are unlikely to finish top 4, so Im prepared for a season of silence. Its nice, it takes me back to being 16 again, only this time Arsenal arent beating everyone

h8kurdt · 10.27.2012, 07:53 AM

I am dreading the Everton/Liverpool derby tomorrow. Feel sick just thinking about it.

BUT I do hope Suarez gets his legs broken.

h8kurdt · 10.27.2012, 08:26 AM

If not that then at least this...

boo, sir, boo

but if you wanted to hurt him, the front teeth is where it's at. just saying.

---------

dortmund/freiburg just played in the snow. nice.

DEMOÑO: frankfurt plays tomorrow if you wanna watch them vs. stuttgart. 10:30am "eastern time" so figure out the time zone difference between ny/you/germany (i have no idea).

demonrail666 · 10.27.2012, 11:05 AM

Awesome, thanks!! I think the time translates to 2.30pm here which means I can still see the bulk of the Chelsea Man U and Liverpool Everton games.

They'd better fucking win. West Ham going down to Wigan this afternoon is all the defeat I can take in a single weekend. Wigan, for fuck's sake!

Want the Dolphins to win tomorrow, too; my default favourite NFL side.

pokkeherrie · 10.27.2012, 12:23 PM

As far as I'm concerned there's only one game that matters this weekend.

This was at the start of the final training session today:

I expect twice as much fireworks tomorrow during the actual game, both on and off the pitch.

hot damn

that looks awesome

ps @ half-time, man city is sucking balls!

h8kurdt · 10.28.2012, 11:02 AM

As much as I hate Suarez (his first goal celebration pretty much had me ready to kill) that offside was a bad call. HOWEVER I guess you could call it Karma.

!@#$%! · 10.28.2012, 01:27 PM

DEMOÑO i hope you had a taste of what you asked for w/ the frankfurt game lolololol

anyway bayern got fucked by bayer leverkusen. crazy-ass game, im not sure what the table is going to look like after this weekend.

NEXT: boca-river which im going to watch out of curiosity just becuz it's going to be fucking bananas

demonrail666 · 10.28.2012, 01:46 PM

Haha, I watched it on a stream. At this stage it's hard to know if Frankfurt were a bit crap or Stuttgart are quite good. Although it should've finished a draw given Frankfurt had a perfectly good goal disallowed towards the end.

Curious to know how the Boca v River Plate game pans out. I know they're intense affairs but wonder if that's just a fan thing or if it translates to the pitch.

They're showing live NFL here, tonight, too: the Denver Broncos vs the New Orleans Saints. Perfect for me, seeing as I've just come down with flu and expect to be up most of the night. So something I can watch in the wee small hours. Today was also the first of two scheduled 'International' games to be played here in England. I'm currently listening on the radio to the Patriots destroy the Rams. (Since when did St Louis stop being the Cardinals?) It feels weird having NFL fixtures here but I should maybe make an effort to go to the next one.
