World Soccer X: Duh, duh, duh, duh...The Champions!

Re: World Soccer X: Duh, duh, duh, duh...The Champions!

Good comeback today. In the last three trips to Man City, Fulham have scored eight second half goals.
 
Re: World Soccer X: Duh, duh, duh, duh...The Champions!

Also, looks like the midweek loss motivated Barcelona - put six past Zaragoza yesterday. When Seydou Keita is scoring a hat trick, you KNOW something is going right.

I'm amused by how the club website casts a draw at Valencia (in the running for the best team in the league other than Barcelona and Madrid) as a failure.

Ahh, incestuous and sketchy European politics, at least it may benefit my favorite team.

Apparently, Mikhail Prokhorov, the Russian billionaire who is attempting to purchase the Nets, may be forced to purchase AS Roma as a requirement for purchasing the Nets. I love this chain of events:

-Prokhorov imports 20 Russian prostitutes to France for a New Year's orgy.
-The French police make arrests.
-Prokhorov's partner in their nickel conglomerate uses the incident to force Prokhorov to take a buyout.
-The worldwide financial market collapses, destroying the value of said nickel conglomerate, but Prokhorov is very liquid and dodges serious losses.
-Prokhorov wants to buy the Nets.
-AS Roma is in serious financial difficulty due to the Sensi family's oil losses
-Berlusconi, chatting with his buddy Putin, mentions that it would be "appreciated" if some Russian money would step in and purchase Roma
-Prokhorov needs a permit to expatriate the $700M to buy the Nets, and apparently Putin is requiring Prokhorov to add $330M on top of that to buy Roma as a condition of getting that permit.

Ahhhh.... Europe.

That's nothing - you should see what it takes to get an annual bus pass in Geneva! ;)

This is why Europe is superior to us, like John Whelan says.

To be fair thats more "Russia" than "Europe". There like a colder version of Mexico with oil/natural gas instead of drugs. But I'll give Putin his due, he has a knack for hilarity no Mexican president has ever mastered.

Well, I was including French orgies and loser Italian Prime Ministers who own football teams.

Plus the implied quid pro quo that Russia would get some sort of favorable treatment from Italy in exchange for supporting a soccer club.

I like to think of Berulusconi as a more interesting/lecherous version of Dan Snyder. Both men arguably run their respective national capitals.
 
Re: World Soccer X: Duh, duh, duh, duh...The Champions!

Double post but Spurs have just unveiled their design for a new 56,000 seater. The early works made it look like Emirates in blue and white, but the final work has a massive kop at one end:

Some speculation that they might have pulled ahead in the race to be London Stadium 2 for World Cup in 2018, but I'd still put my money on Twickenham.

1. That's ugly, inside and out. Ask U of M how cool writing on the top of your stadium is. 2. They really want to splash out all this cash so they can host frigging South Korea vs. Ukraine?

I like it.

Writing on top of the stadium is fine. Lyrics to the fight song? Meh.

Also, folks at Michigan have a real burr in their saddle over the stupidest things when it comes to that **** stadium. No luxury seating! We're all the same! No video replays! blah blah blah.

Anyway,

I don't know a think about Tottenham's history or their stadium search, but that looks pretty good to me. I love the other development they're packaging with it - they do urban stadiums so much better over there.
 
Re: World Soccer X: Duh, duh, duh, duh...The Champions!

I like that stadium.

I'm sick of American style cookie cutter brick retro stadiums. Do something original!
 
Re: World Soccer X: Duh, duh, duh, duh...The Champions!

I like how they worked a single-tier end into a multi-tier stadium.
 
Re: World Soccer X: Duh, duh, duh, duh...The Champions!

Arsenal beats Liverpool 2-1 in the Carling Cup.

In injury time Senderos literally caught Aquilani's bicycle kick but Alan Wiley wasn't in position to make the handball decision. :mad: :D
 
Re: World Soccer X: Duh, duh, duh, duh...The Champions!

Who's an expert with English soccer? I need to know why Arsenal is so highly favored against Tottenham. Is it a lock, or just hype? I looked up the standings and they are tied for third in Barclays, so I don't understand the huge odds.

This is greatly needed for a centsports bet. TIA

Because most people bet on Arsenal due to their historical superiority against Tottenham.
