Tottenham in group A

!
Well, it looks good for them lol.

 

[Flame]

im hoping Norwich can do something today, but unlikely.

I just don't think it's plausible, at all. Arsenal are a team that looks on its way down unless some miracle happens.

Also, I didn't say that we didn't lose fair and square. I just said I friggin hate them. I don't know how many people can sympathize, but that's twice that I kept up for the whole night til 3 or 4 in the morning [effing time difference] to watch and then see us get beaten. It gets to you, y'know? I tell you, I'd be very pleased to see them get absolutely pwned.

I can't wait til SAF takes them all down in one fell swoop. [ I assume he'll be the one to orchestrate it, since the man hates losing]
Oh okay, I understand why you have such a grudge then. Staying up that late and then getting such a disappointment, I can see why you hate Barca then.

QUOTE(ThatDudeWithTheFood @ Aug 25 2011, 09:36 PM) FUCK

City has to play Villareal,Bayern and Naples.WTF

Madrid has an easy group though even though lyon and ajax are potential upsets.

What's so fuck about that? That group is definitely not impossible. I'm 100% sure we will City still in Europe after the winter, either in the CL or in the EL.

Also, Club Brugge has just placed themselves for the Europe League! Together with Anderlecht and Standard, while we already have Genk in the Champions League. First time in the Belgian history we have 4 teams in Europe!

It's still the worst possible group.

Honestly, I don't give a fuck. City deserve to lose and get knocked out soon.

Can I ask why?

Can I ask why?

There's resentment in general about the rather classless way Man City have gone about things, jsut throwing money at player after player, players leaving clubs for a big pay day happy to sit on the bench at city and get a load of money rather than actually play football etc.

On the other hand, at least Manchester City actually have some fans in Manchester (Although saying that, all over a sudden, like Man U, you start to get people from all over the place deciding they're 'fans' who didn't give a shit about them when their best player was Stephen Ireland) . And it pleases me that even with all those big money signings we still get bgiger crowds at Newcastle

This + I've been a United fan ever since I saw Beckham play in the Utd jersey.
Kind of logic that I can't really root for one of their rival clubs. City gets some respect though because they helped Kompany reach it's current level, and Kompany is from the same country as me

The same applies to Chelsea, if not more.

@Satangel If it were City who was having all the success and Beckham was a City player, you would probably be a fan of Man City and not a Man U, just like many others.

1-1!!! You must be ecstatic now, glad for you

Also, saw Lukaku warming up.....

I think it's difficult for people who've only started watching football since Sky made it into this global brand to appreciate what's wrong with just choosing a club because they're good, or you like a player of theirs or whatever, when for most people in the UK it's a matter of local pride, birthright etc.

Imagine the olympics come along and loads of people in your country and the surrounding ones deceide they're fans of America and Russia. And then suddenly China are good and everyone's waving Chinese flags and screaming "Yes! We won!" when the Chinese athlete crosses the line.

Would be if City played in red (favourite colour, as a toddler that really mattered to me

) and they had the same history (Cantona, Giggs, Munich, Best immediately come to mind). If City had all those specifics I would be a City fan, yes.

@BlueStar, I know what you're thinking, that I'm just another gloryhunter that doesn't know jack shit about 'his' team. I try to be more though. I browse the United forum daily, reading topics and sometimes giving my opinion. I know their history quite well thanks to Wiki, and try to watch at least 10 United games every season. I really try to be more and I don't pick the most popular player as my favourite player. I rather have Rafael or Smalling than Rooney for instance.

Also like it says in the OP, my favourite team is actually Club Brugge KV, the town where I was born and grew up in. I watch every single game of them and have a subscription (don't know if that fits this context, but you know what I mean

) to watch them when they play at home.

So... What the [bleep] happened to Drogba? They got 11 minutes for something, and apparently that was it. Huh...

John punched him in the face.

 

[Shinigami357]

Was it enough to justify 11 [some say 12] minutes of extra time? Never seen it go that long, honestly.

 

[emigre]

I understand he was taken off the pitch via a stretcher and some oxygen. So it sounds a little serious and might just about justify the amount of injury time.

Saw it live, just started watching to the stream.
Notice how he falls, completely without any animation.
I'd say 11 minutes is exaggerated but who cares, it was 3-1 anyway, Norwich couldn't have scored 2-3 times when they were down to 10 man!
8 extra minutes would be more appropriate.

 

[Satangel]

Today it's THE classic of Belgium, Club Brugge vs Anderlecht. Mostly about the prestige in this stage of the competition, the points don't really matter that much.
The game is very important for the fans. Come on Bruges, beat them and make it a defeat they won't forget soon!

 

[Shinigami357]

Holy $%^ Dzeko... 4 goals. Things just went from bad to worse for Spurs. VDV injured?
