Year Round The Football/Soccer Thread v2

[FrostyMouse]

Juve really choked in that match, although the biggest story of the day is Torres, like always. As a Chelsea fan, this was the last straw for me; I want someone, hopefully Falcao, but I'd be fine with Cavani or Reus, in in January and Torres out.

Today, the most important football match of the year will happen in just 2 hours.

I never knew what were yout thought´s about our league and national selection.

Looks like Man Utd cheated their way to a win again I really feel for Torres and the Blues... it's not the first time that Evans has got away with such blatant cheating. And of course, Liverpool denied 3 points because of a very bad call by the linesman. I've really started to hate this season

Suarez had a good performance, despite two tackles which seemed accidental, and they still write articles hating on the guy
Give the guy a break, he stayed on his feet all game and this was a Merseyside Derby of all games lol

 

[FrostyMouse]

Suarez did dive once, but it was more just because he has to dive at least once a match. There wasn't any malice intended with it though, at least I don't think, and no one was really around him.

Clattenburg and the 4th official handed the match to United. I've been raging since it happened, but there's nothing to do about getting robbed of 2-3 points.

 

[Imperium]

We are witnessing the latest "crisis". Tomorrow will be a shitstorm in the papers. More racism allegations, now including the Clattenburg plus his dodgy decisions. If it picks up I doubt he will be in a job come next week. I am a cynical fuck but the premier league circus never ends, I am just happy its not focused on Arsenal.

@kakashi - Suarez is hated on because its not only that he dives but how he does it. He has a bad reputation, but he brings about general animosity in how he play acts in even neutral observers. I've heard him described as a 'rat' more than once. How many other divers in the premier league are there? From Nani and Young to Gervinho and Santos at Arsenal, none of them get it as bad as he does. Its a question of character. A similar thing use to occur with Ronaldo early on, people just didnt like him.

Handed on a silver plate. It might sound bitter but one cannot watch United matches and think there is no favouritism. There is a stunning pattern of these decisions stretching back a decade.

 

[FrostyMouse]

There are times where we've just taken it to United and played them off the pitch, but today was not one of those days. After the first 15 minutes or so, we were the better team and did make the comeback and probably would've won assuming that Torres isn't sent off and Evans is booked/sent off.

In last season's home fixture, we were taking it to United and crushing them, but then along came Howard Webb and his United love and gave them two completely undeserved penalties, at which point we lost all momentum and I believe Chicharito added the late equalizer.

Imp, you could almost say that the amazing thing is that Chelsea had actually had more wins than United head to head in the Premier League until today, even with all of the questionable refereeing at times.

The Jose years where we just did not concede and were unbeaten at home for 86 consecutive matches were just amazing and United couldn't completely compete in our head to head matches, in large part because we had better players at some positions.

Right now, we've often been on par with United team-wise, but poor reffing decisions cost us two home wins (this season and last) and perhaps some points at Old Trafford.

Wasn't Chicharito's goal offside? From the pic I saw he was behind all defenders and the goalkeeper

But yes, I know they hate on Suarez because of his reputation, but its ridiculous how the media is always on the guy's case. Everyday there's an article hating on the guy lol.
Oh well, if he can play like he did against Everton and stay on his feet every game, I think he may challenge for golden boot. Btw, his celebration was funny as hell

Yes, it was way offside. He runs back from a massively offside position and somehow the 4th official misses it.

If you take away the Evra affair and the diving, Suarez really is quite a good striker. If Liverpool can get him enough service, he could definitely get a lot of goals this season.

Yeah, you either love him for his talent or hate him for some of his tactics. I like the guy cuz he's one of the best, but I hate how he goes down so easily most of the time. Can't blame him though...you see the way he runs? It's like he has no control over his feet

I personally think that both sides should forfeit the League Cup match and someone else should take their place. Does anyone want to see this match?

I'm surprised that Torres' suspension hasn't been rescinded yet, honestly.

Meh... Want to bet Chelsea are gonna win and Ferigie is gonna blame the refs?

Only match I'm looking forward to is the Swansea vs Liverpool. Should be a really good game, especially BR facing his old players

Anyone watched the Reading vs Arsenal game? It was awesome! A great come back and a great game played by Reading

Bugzee, Impy and some others were watching it while posting in the FF, Arsenal was losing 4-0 and I said "PEOPLE GIVE ME A LINK I'M A LUCKY CHARM"...

The rest is history

One of the best matches I've ever seen.

 

[Jorge D. Dragon]

Well, Arsenal was a surprise!
It was one of the greatest if not the greatest comebacks in whole history of modern ffotball. They managed to do an impossible thing. Even though they tried really hard to dig their own grave, especially with Koshielny's own goal, but in the end they managed to pull a brilliant victory.)

 

[FrostyMouse]

Indeed, Jorge. With all of Arsenal's poor performances this year, when they were down 4-0, I was laughing. It has to be the greatest comeback in football history (at least score-wise), although Arsenal does have a much better side than Reading, it has to be said. I think Liverpool's comeback against Milan in the CL Final in Istanbul was the greatest comeback in football history, however.

 

[Jorge D. Dragon]

Well, that Liverpool was damn impressive, cause to have such a comeback against that Milan is really a very impressive fit.) I remember that, because I finished school on that day and half of my city lost electricity, so I went to a street party and then my family who was living in another part of the city that still had electricity in tact was always on phone with me, telling me all the news about the match even though I was already drunk.)

 

[FrostyMouse]

Let's face it, Reading isn't that good of a team. That Milan team was amazing, but they came up against the magic of Liverpool, who had looked well and truly beat up until that point.

Well, that match change the way I look football. If a team that is getting it's ass kicked is able to make a 3-0 comeback in 6 minutes, then anything is possible.

 

[Jorge D. Dragon]

Well, of course Reading is weak. Still, to manage to make 5-7 out of 4-0 was really funny. Especially, when they scored one of the goals as an own goal. I was really laughing at Koshielni as it wasn't the first one he scored like this in the current season, not even talking about his entire career in Arsenal.

Well, Liverpool did one of the best performancer in football history in the Champions Final. I can't forget it even now. I watched it several times since then and I'm never board of it. Though that Liverpool was really impressive, not as current and that's a great pity.((

Koshielni just might become one of Arsenal's greats. Look at how many own goals Carrigher has for Liverpool, in fact he has the record for most goals against Liverpool by a single player... 7 or 8 lol. He is still considered one of their best defenders ever.
