I'll have fun laughing as you form a guard of honor for us. I'll laugh again if you don't even get 4th.

PS

3 replies ago, it was 2nd. *shrug*

---

So, Suarez has been banned for 10 matches, effective immediately, pending an appeal. Looks like Golden Boot for RVP again, then. Maybe Player of the Year, too. :ph34r:
I said its possible but i'm being realistic. 3rd is us.
I have no respect for Man U fans who dont live in manchester anyway,

Wow, if I had a pound for every time I saw that in an internet football forum, I'd be able to move to Manchester.

PS

Love the way people here go for the same old line when they run out of things to say. Stay classy.

Shinigami357 & Black-Ice you both need to chill. its just football.

Black-Ice: he can support any team he wants, why do you think teams spends millions on making fans aboard.

Shinigami357: Arsenal are more than capable on finishing 3rd or 4th they have beening doing it for years and years now.

now play nice both of you. :yaysp:

Hey, all I'm trying to get at here is this.

I can try to discuss the UFL [our Philippine league] or even the Azkals [the nickname of the rather popular Phillipine Nat'l Men's Football Team] here, but I'm not likely to get anywhere with that, really. Fact is, the only other league even vaguely available here is the EPL, so it's not like I'd suddenly support some other team in some other league that would be relevant here.

At least Satangal has Club Brugge, and people can say "oh, yeah, he supports a local team". What do you want me to do? The most relevant Filipino players in Europe are Etheridge [backup keeper in Fulham] and Schrock [Left-back/sometimes left winger] who plays in Hoffenheim.

Oh, and there was Paulino Alcantara who played for FC Barcelona a long time ago. Probably our one football legend.

What more do you people want from me? Can't I even discuss the league table now?

EDIT:

Oh yeah... Just about forgot this. David Alaba [yes, the player in Bayern Munich] is half-Filipino. Philippine law states if you have a Filipina mother, you're a Filipino citizen, but he's already playing for Austria [do I have this right?]. Biggest talent we missed out on, according to my countrymen, and I gotta say, they have a point.

Come to think of it, I could be a Bayern fan. LOL

Didn't expect both spanish teams getting trashed, really surprising, specially the barca game. And I just read Gotze actually signed for bayern behind Dortmund's back. They arranged terms themselves, bayern paid the release clause and just then they told BVB that Gotze wasn't their player anymore, pretty cuntish from mario if true, even more considering he went to a league rival and that he was in the club since 9 or something. Also losing the slight liking I had to Bayern.
And the talk of us having to "pray" for top 4 is laughable, making arguments of why we won't get it is as easy as making some of why we will:
We are 3rd, above spurs and chelsea
Yes, they both have a game in hand, but that game is between them, there's no way they can both get over us with just that game.
Chelsea have the hardest fixture list, and they have EL too which I guess Benitez will want to win, since it's almost sure he won't be there next season, so top 4 is useless for him.
Tottenham have harder 3 last games than us, we go against an already relegated QPR team and 2 relegation fighting ones while spurs have to face the rising Sunderland and Stoke away, which is as annoying as it gets.
Bale was rushed back from an injury, doubt he'd be at top form.
Spurs are the biggest bottlers in the league.
We actually have the best recent form in the league, while spurs are 7th
The list goes on and on......
So it's not a fact we will play CL last season but it's laughable to say we should be praying for it, almost as laughable as trying to make fun of us with that guard of honor bs, that's hardly humilliating, hardly compares to us winning the title at OT on 02, now that's humilliating.

Apparently Lewandowski could also be a Bayern player soon.
Dortmund players' release clauses are way less than their true value. Dortmund still have Bittencourt to replace him and should have the money to bring in a striker but I just don't know if that player will be anywhere near as good as Lewandowski.
Götze for only 37 million is ridiculous.

As for Arsenal's top 4 finish I think when it's all said and done Chelsea will be the team on the outside looking in.

Tottenham have been a top 4 team since last season. Perhaps that fact was lost to some people when Chelsea usurped their european spot due to their [Chelsea's] win in the ucl. They've managed to take points from both Manchester clubs in the top 2 [United actually managed just the 1 point off of them, LOL]. In fact, they've beaten the top 4 teams they've recently faced [Arsenal and City]. That doesn't scream 'bottler' to me. Sure, they have consistency problems, but considering the scrap they're in and that this is AVB's first season in charge, I think you're underrating/grossly misunderstanding what you're up against.

Form isn't really at all effective at seeing how the league will go. Form suddenly shifts [good to bad, bad to mediocre etc]. Like I said, Arsenal's last match didn't seem too indicative of their form, struggling to find a second goal against a 10-man side and whatnot. In fact, the reason I've been poking at Arsenal with the 'guard of honor' is that things like this can distract players, and let's be honest, Arsenal isn't the most stable team mentally. Their struggle to bang goals in despite possessions/chances has been touched upon before, too. There is no such thing as a 'walk in the park' when you struggle to score.

I don't think Bale was rushed back, really. Fitness issues are rarely clearly reported/detailed in media. He played well enough, has had time to rest further and their upcoming fixture isn't as taxing. As to Stoke [no offensive punch] and Sunderland [2 wins? like I said, form isn't everything], I don't know, but those look winnable.

Hey, in fact, I never explicitly told Black-Ice that you wouldn't finish in the top 4. I was just telling him that dreaming of 2nd is way too much when they're locked into a 3-team squabble over the 2 places available in the top 4, when the other 2 teams have a very distinct advantage of the game in hand. Read it again if you like. I could care less if Chelsea drop out of the top 4, but I think Tottenham have more then enough to finish 4th or 3rd.

In close fights [with 2 opponents, no less], you have to be realistic. But hey, believe what you want. People believed the UCL Final would be an El Clasico 3 or so days ago, too.

Drew with Man U.
Great! QPR, wigan and Newcastle are easy wins. And an easy 9 points

Chelsea still have Man U, Tottenham, Everton and Villa.
Only one of those games is guarenteed for a win

Tottenham have southampton, chelsea, stoke and sunderland.
TBH if they cant beat wigan shit could go any way.

So it looks like Arsenal will catch 3rd this season ^_^
But thats just my estimates.

Sturridge didn't fuck about did he ? Fate offered him a chance to shine, and he bit its hand off.

I said "He bit its hand off"


Oh please yourselves.

LOL @ draw. Fair enough result, could care less, title's in the bag already, anyhow. Already it's summer transfers the media's going on about. Lewandowski, anyone?


Not when they draw to wigan.
Huehuehue

Gotta agree with that. Unless you draw with Wigan too, that is. LOL

Real vs Dortmund looks like it will be a cracking game! I swear the tie could be level by now if Real had some composure in front of goal.
Just started watching after my friend almost forced me to watch it. Didn't see the 2 chances, it's a shame they didn't score though :/ Come on CR07!
