I just managed to watch my first game of this brand of football in 6 weeks and it was a pretty good one.
Kyle Walker is having the very definition of a sophomore slump but Spurs would have been desperately unlucky to finish without the late point. I'm really not sure how United are winning this league. They're just not that great.
No they're not, but neither is anyone else. United are winning it because they've been more consistent than everyone else. Oh, and RVP is carrying them like he carried Arsenal for years.
I'm sure that later in the interview he must have been full of praise for Dempsey for when he fought to stay on his feet rather than go down when he was clearly fouled in the box. No?

It's sad when probably the greatest manager in the history of football is also the most classless. Worse that the FA continually lets him get away with it.

Are you including the years he spent on the treatment table? Which would be every season he was at Arsenal until last year.
I've seen some Liverpool fans, not Si or ISWT, that have bitched and moaned about Sneijder going to Galatasaray, and claimed he did it for money. This picture kinda shows it's not just that.

LOL Gate, you're such a muppet. Liverpool wouldn't pay those wages for him. Comparing trophies in the EPL to the Greek league is shaky at best and nonsensical at worst, but you've never really been known for your knowledge of how football actually works.
And as for the broken record comment, shelve it. Arsenal have been pretty poor for a while now, and things don't look like improving any time soon. Another year without trophies and another year where the better Arsenal players start looking to take their talents elsewhere. Arsene has been getting by on qualifying for CL football for the last several years, he won't have that luxury this year. Two big matches coming up for Arsenal - West Ham and Liverpool. Lose both of them and it's squeaky bum time for Arsene.
Gate... there is no comparison between the two clubs. Don't be ridiculous. And as for Sneijder, wasn't all that into him coming to Liverpool. I'm very excited about the youth movement in the club and don't see the need to bring in a wounded, aged midfielder that noone but the Greek league seemed to really want. To clarify (and feel free to educate the iliverpool fans you seem to be discussing) Liverpool offered to take Sneidjer on loan at 90k a week. Inter wanted a full transfer, and those wages are less than half of what he was earning. So both he and Inter chose another path. More power to him

What a dumb chart. What exactly are those trophies that they are winning? The Turkish cup? Liverpool is still one of the top 7-8 biggest clubs in the world. Sneijder can take the extra money and go play in obscurity.

Picking between one of the "Top 8" clubs in the world and a team that's actually in the Champions League last 16 must've been a real tough call.
Wanna try and railroad Arsenal now? The only thing you can possibly question about this game was: Where was this Arsenal in the last 2 league games?

I still stand by what I said. Galatasaray is only relevant when they are playing in champions league games against bigger clubs. I wasn't all that excited for Wesley to come play for Liverpool, as I don't think he really had a place to win. I'm happ for him, but when the lights turn off on the UCL, I don't think he will be too excited to play against Besiktas (The only other Turkish club I can think of)

Knew you'd do this. You're insane if you think beating shitty West Ham 5-1 at home means that all is well at Arsenal. Wise up.

Doesn't mean Arsenal are world beaters, but that was the real Arsenal playing yesterday, not the half and half team from the last two weeks. Easily that was their best overall performance of the season, you thinking that I think all's well and fine and dandy after only 1 win is more insane than what you said. Maybe you'll wise up next week if and when Arsenal beat Liverpool, who I just so happen to love how everyone's claiming has finally found stability after essentially doing an identical thing to Norwich(who's pretty much in the same position as West Ham). We'll certainly see who's more stable after next Wednesday, won't we?
In one corner you've got the Chelsea nimrods who are vilifying the kid and in a way condoning what Hazard did as what the kid deserved. On the other side you've got the people who are demanding the kid be left alone and draging Hazard's name through the mud. And then in the middle is the people who are saying that are blaming the kid for instigating it but not letting Hazard off scot free in the least.

Gate, we won't see who's more stable after Wednesday. Arsenal are underperforming this season. Liverpool have been inconsistent. It is what it is. Arsenal will not win a trophy this year, and probably neither will Liverpool. No-one said that Liverpool are now suddenly 'stable'. What does that even mean? Your results are your results. Arsenal are off the pace of the leaders by a mile and are on the outside looking in for the last CL spot.
To your second post, Hazard needs a pretty hefty ban for this one. The kid should never be a ball boy again. The ref is the one who would need to sort out the time wasting on the ball boy's part, it is NEVER appropriate for a professional player to lash out at someone like that during a game. I'm thinking at least a 5-match ban for Hazard, and well deserved.
