Fuck yeah! Danny Graham has scored. Four home games, four clean sheets.

Congrats

Vorm is on my Fantasy Team

Pretty comfortable for Spurs in the end. 5 points ahead of their North London rivals, with a game in hand.

 

[emigre]

I can't say I'm surprised by that. Arsenal have been on abysmal form since the league cup final.

Arsenal fan texting into BBC live updates

"Sick of seeing defeat after defeat"

Oh no, poor guy. Get a bit sick of all this "Poor Arsenal fans" and, until recently "Poor Liverpool fans" Oh no, you might finish 7th in the Premier League, what will your loyal and long suffering fans do.

Sorry I don't like cheats.

Still his skill on the ball makes him one of the best strikers in the EPl

The way he behaves makes him one of the biggest dicks in the league and overshadows any natural talent he might have.

Agreed to all posts. He's a superb footballer and striker, and has a terrific goals/matches ratio, but his attitude is just bad. I don't like him, simple as that. I always like players with certain aspects and a certain attitude, not their skills. I don't care if my favourite player isn't the best in the world, heck, he's not even the best of my team, I like him because of his style, attitude and certain skills that I can relate to.
Suarez is just scum in my eyes.

Norwich deserved the win, played much better.United were exposed so many times

Norwich didnt deserve anything, end of story.

Lol are you deluded?

Did you even watch the game?
United got lucky and saved their asses

Yup, but that's how you become champions. You win, even when you are playing bad. If you can do that for 50% of the bad games you play, you'll be champions.


And yes Rockstar, I've got FIFA 12 for the PC, playing with a 360 controller. Fantastic game so far, the career mode has really been improved! Other aspects not so much, but overall a better game than FIFA 11. I'd rate it 90% at the moment, with FIFA 11 getting a 82%. I mainly play Career mode, and wow, that's just a real evolution.

 

[Shinigami357]

Yeah but they got lucky..

Yes... And a clinically retarded idiot could probably come up with a better comeback than you. Apparently, out of the 23 chromosomal pairs you inherited, logical thinking wasn't included in the package?


PS

Why am I not surprised that you seem to care more for each and every result in the EPL [which you dubbed "hopeless"] than your "oh-so-beloved" Barcelona??? Shows what kind of "fan" you are...

Well said


Also watched the derby on the weekend, good result for spurs in the end. Handball by Van der Vaart, I reckon that the goal would have been disallowed if Mertesacker and sczezny (WTF spelling) had actually appealed. Walker's goal was pretty good though

 

[emigre]

Out of curiosity does anyone here actually support a team in the lower leagues? I did than we got promoted four times. I'm just curious because its seems apparent everyone supports a team in top division.

 

[alidsl]

Cheltenham FTW, I go to all the home games (my local club) it's only £7 every other week.

They're in league 2 by the way

When I first started going to Newcastle games with my dad we were in the old Division Two and we had been there for some time. Nearly ended up in division three the year the Premier League was formed, but Keegan came along and rescued us and the rest is history.

Go to Whitley Bay games sometimes as well, saw them lift the FA vase at Wembley a few years ago.

Nope, just the team of the city I was born in. Club Brugge KV, it's probably the worst team of all the teams that members support here, but I still love them to death

I wonder, what's the budget of Swansea City? I know Club Brugge has about 28 million of budget, the second biggest in Belgium.

 

[luke_c]

I support Southend in League 2, but my main team will always be Chelsea!

 

[alidsl]

Come to Cheltenham vs Southend, we'll trash you

Edit: Saturday the 10th of Dec, I'll be there

Swansea's budget depends on the league we're in. When we were in the Championship, we had one of the smaller budgets which we used to spend £500 000 (it apparently can increase to a £1M on certain clauses) GBP on Scott Sinclair. Now we're in the Premiership and we're apparently going to make around £50M this season. On transfers we've spent around less than £10M which isn't much considering this is the richest league in the world, in fact Fulham spent about £10M on Ruiz alone ans they're lower league fodder. From what I understand, we're the poorest club in the league

.

On the bright side, whilst we're not financially wealthy, we are financially healthy. The present board run the club well so they're being cautious not of silly money to players and give them stupid money in case we go down.

£50 million?! Really? That's amazing, I expected something around £ 25 million, but that's just crazy! That means the 'poorest' club in the PL has double the money of the richest club in Belgium! I knew the PL was great and very wealthy, but this is truly astounding. Damn, the Belgian Pro League sucks

 

[emigre]

It's the television money innit.

 

[Satangel]

I know. Who the hell watches the Belgian Pro League abroad? I honestly couldn't think of any other people next to people that emigrated from here. And heck, they probably watch it on a livestream via the internet or follow it via the radio.

 

[emigre]

I watch Belgian football.


Nah, not really. I still watch lower league when I can.
