Hopefully they can get it together because that would be one fun team to watch I am going to Europe next summer in time for Euro 2012 but I don't think I'll be going to Poland or Ukraine so I can't watch a live game but while I'm there I will definitely be rooting for Belgium.Also wow about Courtois but Steklenburg was a major steal for 9 mil I think hes worth more like 15.You guys have lots of defnsive depth and I really think Dembele is a good player.Also I forgot about Vermallen and Van Buyten.That midfield trio is definitly something to watch though.
We're not qualified for Euro 2012....

We've failed, again. For the 4th time in a row we won't be on a major tournament.
Tnx for the support though

Oh my...Must suck when a team lets you down over and over and over.At least your local club team is well.
Well, uh, not really actually

They are one of the biggest clubs in Belgium, and perhaps the team with the most fans too, but the recent results were quite bad. We haven't won a trophy in 6 years now, and criticism of rival clubs is more and more frequent every season we fail. We're just not good enough, with a lot of bad luck and bad purchases. They've let me down more than I like it, believe me.

Luckily Utd and Barca, my other 2 favourite teams, have performed tremendesly in the last 10 or even 15 years, so that makes me a lot happier!
2 teams going for you and 2 teams letting you down.Can't win'em all.

Agreed. You learn to cherish and to value 2 winning teams a lot more when you know how defeat feels. You have to learn to lose, to be able to win.

At least he waited until it became clear they were going to get tonked by Barca

After seeing such a good attacking display from united so far.. I seriously want them to beat barcelona

Checking his run I guess. You're supposed to take your run up and hit the ball, it looks like he was trying to dummy it, goes to hit it in the hope the keeper will commit and he can just place it the other side. Which is considered bookable as unsporting behaviour. But then he kicks the ground and falls on his face anyway.

I dont know why I said "we" and at the time of manu and chelsea.. I swear it was my first season of EPL... I find it boring compared to la Liga and dont support any team there.Just Barcelona.And just a question, lets say I support 3 teams? You guys should not care even then because I can do whatever I want.
 
What do you guys think about Barcelona's new 3-4-3 It can take on 4-4-2s really well as we saw against Villarreal but Im not so sure it can work on teams that rely on counter attacking football(Madrid, Valencia etc.)

Also Fabregas and Sanchez have been great for us.. cant wait for teh game V real Sociadad Im predicting a 4-0 win for us
 
What of you guys think of Swansea City's forward line? Does it have what it takes to keep the them up? Graham did a good job in the championship and with the likes of Sinclair, Dyer and Allen feeding him chances he might have a good season.

Michael Vorm has been fucking divine for us. Arsenal next, We're going to lose aren't we?

Dyer is massivly underrated in my books.. the guy has so much pace and skill to take on a man.. I watched City VS Swansea and he as looking so livley.. like the focal point of their attacks.

Sure, you have the right say you support Man U in November and then that you support Barcelona in may, then cheer on Man City in August. We have the right to express the opinion that you're not really a fan of anyone.

Dyer isn't underrated at all. He was Fan's player of the year last season, finishing above Sinclair.
 
underrated for those who did not watch the npower.thy must judge all the players from the newly promoted teams as shit

yup i have been supporting Barcelona forever(Since I started watching football) EPL was a lost cause... I can cheer on anybody I want but that does not exactly mean I support them.Also fine im a glory hunter that supports every top team in the whole world.Problem?

IM getting pissed off that whenever I post you all start acting all bastards and attack me for this

And yet only four months ago you said you wanted them to lose the Champions League final. Some support.

You did not read.. it was my first season watching EPL.. I was a hypocrite supporting all kinds of team... I never left Barcelona and I left all those teams now but Is till have Barcelona.. I used to but its all normal now so whats the problem?
 
Can you not read? i'm not talking about the EPL, I'm talking about the Champions League. It was the most important game of Barcalona's season and at one point you "seriously wanted" their opponents to win it and not them. What kind of support is that? You never left Barcelona? Bollocks.
