the once and future king - you're a blue mancs fan right?

[/ QUOTE ]


no, he's a chelski fan, which makes his references to ManU as the scum pretty funny. He's just mad that his club's only true rivals are a team owned by a dept store owner and QPR

[/ QUOTE ]He's just mad at everyone in an attempt to get people to notice a team that was irrelevant for so long.

[/ QUOTE ]

You are mad/sad as your team is becoming irrelevant.

Back when Chelsea's influence was less potent, you didnt even follow football, however you have become interested just in time to witness the absolute ascendency of the Uber Chelsea and the total and utter demise of the team you elected to support last season as a footballing power.

Muhahahahhaaaaaaaaa

Everyone calls man u the scum. It is there official nick name. Calling mu the scum isnt being mad or angry, its just obeying the rules of the football lexicon.

[/ QUOTE ]I thought that Liverpool was called the Scum (because he term is close to Scousers).

I just started following EPL last season and for some reason, I hate Pool much more than I hate any other team in the EPL. (Except for Peter Crouch, he's so goofy, he's almost cool.)

Rumors seem to indicate Wenger is on the verge of signing a new 3 year deal, 3mil POUNDS per year.

Bye Bye Robben, may the water in Spain be clear for your dives.

Are you still looking to offload Silvestre? In my eyes he's a left back. Then again in my eyes Kieron Dyer's still a right back

[/ QUOTE ]

Should think we'll hold onto him now, I'd be surprised if any more defenders head out the door. Between Rossi, Heinze, Richardson and Smith that's a sizable chunk of summer spending recouped. Uncle Malc will be so pleased.

This is a big thread so I may have missed this.

Apparently Styles is suspended for this weekend for the horrible match he had last week. That was a textbook poorly refereed game from one of the worst given penalties I've seen to losing control in general.

Also, according to Spanish press Chelsea have signed Belletti. This pretty much ends the Alves thing and he's very likely to stay, especially since Real Madrid have both bought Robben and sold Cicinho to Roma. It will be interesting to see what happens since Alves was so adamant about wanting to leave.

[ThaSaltCracka]

so the guys on World Soccer Daily seem to feel that:
A. The penalty call was surprising
B. Liverpool's fans and management are treating Styles poorly

Interesting comments really. They feel that the Liverpool are basically intimidating refs around the league, letting them know any marginal or controversial call against Pool will be heavily criticized, thus possibly preventing refs from making these calls at Anfield.

They also mentioned that the foul called on Finnan would likely be a yellow if it occured anywhere else on the field. Honestly, I can't disagree with that.

Interesting comments, from the 8/21 show.

What do you guys think?
