Re: LEN Teh Footy God's Footballodium
It was an accident. Honestly.
Re: LEN Teh Footy God's Footballodium
Chelsea currently hold both European trophies, how the hell did that happen.
If Man City bring Klopp in I will be delighted. Looks like it'll be the old Chilean though.

Re: LEN Teh Footy God's Footballodium
So this just confirms that Blatter is now just a host for an alien sentience. He is making way too much sense for there to be any other explanation.

Re: LEN Teh Footy God's Footballodium
So, you are saying that the guy presiding over a farcical decision coming out and admitting it is unworkable nearly two years later, when it was plain from the start that was the case, is sensible behaviour? What happened to the magic air conditioning and cloud manipulation that were going to make a summer World Cup in Qatar perfectly reasonable?
I'd have a lot more respect for Blatter if he just came out and said, 'they gave us all a big bag of money, we couldn't turn it down', instead of this geopolitics crap. Anyone with an ounce of sense knew that as time went by the top figures in the game were going to start softening us up for a winter World Cup, which I wouldn't mind in theory, but the way it has been engineered doesn't make FIFA come across as any less of a comic book supervillain organization.
Re: LEN Teh Footy God's Footballodium
He is admitting that they might have screwed up. Pretty big step for the FIFA royalty.

Re: LEN Teh Footy God's Footballodium
Is he though? He is pretty much talking about salvaging their screw up, without admitting there was a screw up.
I admit I always look for the worst with Blatter, may well be my interpreting it in the worst possible light...

Thank you David Beckham for all of those memorable free-kicks and overall game.

Re: LEN Teh Footy God's Footballodium
Thank you David Beckham for all of those memorable free-kicks and overall game.http://markwadsworth.blogspot.com/David Beckham is to retire from pretending to be important to football at the end of this season after an illustrious 10-year career that actually ended about 10 years ago.
The former Real Madrid pretender won very little there in 4 years, then going to play in the joke of the US league at LA Galaxy, making sod all difference to England, before having a career at PSG that was even shorter than that pope in the 1970s.
"I'm thankful to PSG for giving me the opportunity to bring me on occassionally as a substitute and to flog some merchandise, but frankly, I've been flogging this dead horse for too long" he said. He is the only English player to have dragged his irrelevance along for so many years.
"If you had told me as a player that I would be able to keep a load of idiots thinking that I mattered to football for so long, ligging around with the England team, crowding out better players from the side and being a media whore for so long, I would have told you it was a fantasy," he said.
"I'm fortunate to have realised those dreams."
Beckham started his irrelevance as a trainee in 2003, after Alex Ferguson was quite happy to let him go, making his move to Real Madrid, where he was released to go to LA Galaxy. He then did very little at AC Milan.
He turned up for England, scored the odd goal, and to help promote his global brand value, while denying international midfield experience to better players as the press continued to call for his overrated skills to be picked.
He became one of the highest paid advertising brands, flogging everything from boxer shorts to crappy perfume and sunglasses.
"I want people to see me as a hardworking brand presence - someone who, when he steps in front of the camera at a photoshoot or appears at a PR event, he gives everything he's got. When I look back on my career that is how I look back on it and that is how I hope people have seen me."
Beckham was the first sporting irrelevance to have 3 consecutive marketing campaigns and earns more money than any other former sporting irrelevance.
UK Prime Minister David Cameron said: "I have absolutely no idea about football, but like everyone else, I've heard of David Beckham, so I assume he is a brilliant footballer"
"Not only that - he appears on lots of ads and working class people seem to like him, and I'm desperate for votes. So, yay. Soccer."
England manager Roy Hodgson added: "Thank goodness for that. I'm tired of trying to explain to idiots in pubs why I don't pick him, and now I can just say 'well, I would, but he's retired."

You still can't deny his pass, cross and free-kick accuracy is phenomenal.

5-5.
Also, Bale better stay as Spurs!

Re: LEN Teh Footy God's Footballodium
Fitting send off for SAF I think... brilliant game to watch. My friends were whining at me to watch the Newcastle game, they obviously don't understand the unwritten rule about Arsenal always qualify for the CL, especially with Wigan going down we couldn't have 2 rules broken at once....
SAF, Scholes, Carragher, Neville and Petrov all leaving... the Premier League is worse off for their loss...
Sad to see Beckham go as well, always felt he was underrated by actual football fans and then overrated by those with very little interest...
Edit: Would love to see Bale at United apparently he is a United fan but I think he will give Spurs at least one more season... should they fail in the CL next year then I think he will be off.

Re: LEN Teh Footy God's Footballodium
You must be a MUFC fan. Bet you're not a Mancunian though.
I am.
I remember going to Old Trafford in the '70s when they still had Bobby Charlton, David Sadler, Nobby Stiles, Alex Stepney and some Irish bloke, now what was his name? Oh I remember, George Best.
Now that was a team.
Still went on to support Bolton though. Too easy to support the rags even back in the day.

Re: LEN Teh Footy God's Footballodium
Bale to United? Ye Gods, no.
I remember back in the 90s being terrified at the thought of Shearer going to United, luckily that never came to pass. The thought of the Bale we've seen this season at Old Trafford is just as terrifying.
Imagine they got Ronaldo too...
Re: LEN Teh Footy God's Footballodium
It probably will not happen to be honest... will command a huge fee and I am not sure United would pay it, Bale that is...
Ronaldo I don't think will be coming back at all, not as the 2nd best player in the world but probably (if he does) not as a footballer at all.

Re: LEN Teh Footy God's Footballodium
I think all his whining is really about getting more money at Madrid.
Re: LEN Teh Footy God's Footballodium
With his performances I am sure he could simply ask for more money without whining in public, surely much better in terms of keeping the fans on side would be to in private him to make clear any concerns he has and wait for them to soothe him with more money...
Though I don't think he does actually want to go anywhere....

Re: LEN Teh Footy God's Footballodium
Klopp looked so sad
Nice to see there's a chance Heynckes might not be retiring after all.
Re: LEN Teh Footy God's Footballodium
There was talk that he might go to Madrid but I have no idea how true that tale is.
Maybe we will find out a little more after Saturdays game.
As much as I would like to have him around, I don’t see how F C Bayern could keep him on staff with the new coach coming on board.
Now, any bets on how Stuttgart does against them?

Re: LEN Teh Footy God's Footballodium
Yeah that's what I was referring to. Seems like Ancelotti is the most likely to move to Madrid but we'll see. Heynckes' agent said he was just retiring from the Bundesliga, so I'm holding onto my tiny sliver of hope that he'll be the next Man City manager instead of Pellegrini.
Well it's incredibly tough for any team going up against Bayern at the moment, and Stuttgart haven't exactly had a great season. Ibisevic is always a threat though.
Re: LEN Teh Footy God's Footballodium
germany losing 3-4 to usa... mexico 2-2 vs nigaria?!?! i hate friendlies =_=
