i've been avoiding this thread, because i am a bit disappointed with my club.
can you image a club selling their most valuable players about two weeks from the start of competition, and then changing the team manager after the first game of the national league? that's benfica.

they had a pretty decent team, the manager was pleased with team and got everything ready and planned for the season, but then they sold simão a key element of the team. fine, it was a matter of time for that to happen, for 20 million euros it was understandable and we still had manuel fernandes and a bunch of new players but then they sold manuel fernandes one week from the start of the season. and about two weeks ago they fired the manager.

anyway... we suffered two draws in the first matchs of the league and today we qualified for the champions league groups phase with a overall result of 3-1 against copenhaga.

Liverpool raped Toulouse for a 4-0 victory yesterday, I am bloody well proud. Our midfield was untouchable.

You wanna try supporting West Ham, a team that kicked off the careers of Frank Lampard, Joe Cole, Rio Ferdinand, Michael Carrick and Jermaine Defoe, before watching them disappear from Upton Park. Not to mention players like John Terry, Sol Campbell and David Beckham, all of whom started out at West Ham's under 17 Academy and then left before actually moving to the first team. Pretty frustrating, all in all.

Don't forget Yossi Benayoun! ;]

I was just listing the players that started their careers at West Ham. I sort of respected Yossi for wanting to go to Liverpool when he said it was a childhood dream to play for you, but he's already talking about being unhappy with the rotation system and that he wouldn't mind a move to a 'middle ranking' team. Sounds like a bit of cunt now.

the champions league draw is about to start

edit:

ah, i messed with the time zone, the draw is over now:

Group E looks fun:

Barcelona
Lyon
Stuttgart
Rangers

Are Sporting and Man. Utd. going to be grouped together indefinitely, all the time?

Hip Priest · 08.30.2007, 02:35 PM

Liverpool could be a high-profile casualty. That's a tricky group.

I don't expect a favourite of mine, AEK Athens, to overturn their deficit to Sevilla, so I'll be left rooting for Dinamo Kiev to do well.

I'm so relieved that we have no Aston Villa fans here on the board. Of course, there are far worse teams to lose to, but Villa are just... rather annoying.

All in all, a rather naff weekend for the Chelsea, especially with Liverpool going top for the first time since the mid-1980s.

I'll admit, I watched match of the day 2 so I could see Chelsea defeated. But really, you deserved it. Anyway, who saw the complete humiliation of Derby County at the hands of Liverpool on saturday? Huh? Huh?

sonicl · 09.03.2007, 08:36 AM

I missed it. I was in London for a Sonic Youth gig.

I was still in London too, I just watched highlights later on..

jico. · 09.03.2007, 08:51 AM

6 - 0 wtf?

i try to keep up, but i'm a premier league outsider. i didnt watched any of this season's matches yet.

chelsea it's still not out from the injury crisis, uh?
anyway, it was no big deal... it happens.

sonicl · 09.03.2007, 08:57 AM

I predict a season-long injury crisis for Chelsea. I think that the demands for success that are being heaped on the players are going to be a little bit too much this year. John Terry, for instance, is a dedicated madman and will play through any pain, but one day, and I think that day may come soon, his body is going to say "no more". But I notice that The Special One is already starting to make his excuses for a poor season, saying that it's not just going to be the "big four" pushing for success. Sounds like an insurance policy to me.

PAULYBEE2656 · 09.03.2007, 09:04 AM

3 ALL AWAY TO FULHAM

what apotent team of future champ league stars we have....

...irony factor is up to reader!
