According to the Telegraph yes
He was doing so well with Wales as well :'(

What makes it more galling is just yesterday he was having some banter with Gary Mac over the upcoming Scotland.

 

[Satangel]

I'll be honest, the name doesn't ring any bells. I've just read some of his memorable records and performances, but didn't know him at all. All I can say it's very tragic and he was way too young to die.... He was in Brussels this week to discuss the World Cup 2014 calendar with our national coach, it's amazing and just plain weird to now lean of his death.

Shay Given really shouldn't be playing. The fella's was in tears.

 

[BlueStar]

Dunno who I want to win this one. Who are a more detestable bunch, City or the Bin-dippers? Tough call.

 

[emigre]

I vote for a draw.

 

[Satangel]

I vote for a draw.

Would rather see Liverpool win, just to keep Utd in the race. But I don't think it'll help that much, City is just too strong this year/at this moment....

Newcastle fans were singing "You're just a shit Man City" and "Where were you when Dzeko scored" yesterday, the prawn sandwich brigade weren't too happy about it.

Balotelli sent off Only been on the pitch 18 minutes.

Yeah the second yellow was just a stupid decision by Balo.Joe Hart made so many big saves to keep us undefeated.

Sup guys? Missed this part of the Temp. I don't suppose that other so-called "Football" Thread is still here? LOL

Anyway, really shitty week - 2 draws. Not much to say. Hopefully we can get around to something come January.




PS

Belated Thanksgiving to all you discerning footy fans

[actually, isn't it still Thanksgiving weekend?]

I actually welled up seeing that for the first time. For those who can't see it, it was before the Swansea vs Villa match where there was meant to be a minutes silence for Gary Speed. It lasted ten seconds and it became a minutes applause. Usually I would be complaining about Villa not playing football but honestly I don't care about the result. Instead today has felt very sobering, Speed was one of the very first footballers I saw and he quickly became a hero to me. I know I'm usually a dick when it comes to the Wales national team but Speed was a committed who earn't my respect and admiration. He wasn't a great player, he was just a good player who earn't a great amount of respect in football. And you take into account how moronic and tribal football fans are, the fact no one can say a a bad word about him really says a lot.

R.I.P Gary Speed.... One of the good people in football! You got my respect!

Anyways, my team in england (i'm from portugal, and i like to choose 1 club per country, always placing my Portuguese Club, Sporting CP, in 1st) is Tottenham Hotspur and Man.United.

I just love the way they play, And they are doing really good this year, they have the chance to get to 2nd place, as they have 1 game to do, and United drawed against Newcastle.

United has to get a better midfield.. They really don't like investing much do they? Manchester City invested like, 100Million +?

And United? 20M? xD

What a bad weekend, the Mexican team I support got eliminated stupidly and arsenal couldn't beat fulham. Well at least, aside from chelsea, almost no team in the top part of the table won.

I actually prefer a minute of applause/singing than a minute of silence. Much more suited.

Uh yeah, that's because Manchester City has super rich owners (like super super super rich, oil sheiks) that just see City as a fun toy, while United has owners that want to get money out of United, more than invest money in it. And United at least tries to build off their financial debts, City just laughs with it.
United their MF needs some new blood, true, but we prefer to give our own youth a chance instead of buying a 25 year old player that will cost way too much.
I don't think they should buy Sneijder actually, I like M'Vila his style, he's younger and cheaper, I say buy him (if Fergie sees it in him/willing to invest)

Sorry for the double post

lol Arsenal lost to City in the Carling cup, if you watched the match you would see that Arsenal were by far the better team, City just got one chance and they managed to take it

Yeah the result was pretty unfair, but both teams played with reserves, and City's reserves are clearly superior, most of their substitutes are great players. But the match I'm looking forward the most is the EPL match in a few weeks with both teams with starters.

 

[Sick Wario]

result unfair?? ahaahaha

that counter and goal from kun was a glorious 14 seconds from end to end. the type of play the arsenal support USED to witness
