Discussion The Football/Soccer Thread

Congrats to Man Utd, a very deserved title but the title race was very challenging with Liverpool this season, points total are really coming down now; everyone's getting stronger except Arsenal!!! We really need to get some experienced players in, Arsene Wenger is tight with money, it's not as if it's coming out of his own pocket is it???

He really needs to rethink his whole strategy...It's all well that we play beautiful football but not everyone has that mentality so we need at least a plan B and C for those other challenging games and we definetly need some defenders, an out and out striker and some leg-breaking midfielders

@Lohnt: what team do you support???

My favorite club is AEK FC, and that was a typo, we lost in the cup final in a 34 penalty shootout to Olympiacos, after a score of 4-4. Right now we have the best coach in Greece, possibly the best goalie, and certainly the best scorer who once again got the top scorer title with no playmakers.

But sadly this season, we were inspired due to the possible return of a wealthy mafia investor who is claiming he has no money to support us due to the economic crisis.
So we have to sell players, unfortunately other clubs want the players we MUST keep if we are to advance in Europe next season. Also we're playing in the playoffs with 3 injured starting defenders, but surprisingly we're 1 point from the second place (which plays Ch. League).

Ok, so enough of my depressing club support, I have a question.
Does anyone follow the Italian league? Is Kaka at ALL anywhere near the level he was 2 years ago? IS it my imagination or has Milan become a joke despite the super-stars in its lineup?
Does it just buy and destroy star-athletes now? Is Milan that great of a party city that I should go and be destroyed like Ronaldhino, Kaka, Becks, Shevchenko, Pato and Gattuso etc I mean, they couldn't even win in their league and Inter, I'm sorry but are not as impressive as they seem if you defend Ibra well, I mean even Panathinaikos beat them pretty decisively, even if it was 1-0

Argh, ah well fought Reds, we'll get 'em next year!

Now let's go go go go follow the gossip for the drafts!
