Assenal have finally sent in a new offer for Liverpool striker Luis Suarez, believed to be in excess of a club-record £40million.
Arsene Wenger had made the Uruguay international his top priority, especially after Real Madrid upped the price for Gonzalo Higuain at the very last minute and is pulling all the stops to bring the 26-year-old to the Emirates.
Any bid more than £40million, will trigger Suarez’s release clause, but the Gunners are reported to be offering an initial payment of £35million and a further £7million in add-ons.

Gareth Bale has been left distraught by the refusal of Daniel Levy, the Tottenham Hotspur chairman, to consider a world record €100m – £86.3m – offer from Real Madrid.
ale is horrified by Levy's intransigence. The chairman has a reputation as a tough negotiator but to Bale, the offer from Real is one that should be impossible to refuse. The world record transfer is Cristiano Ronaldo's £80m move to Real from Manchester United in 2009.

The word 'Soccer' is the abbreviation of Association Football. It's been around since the late 19th century in England when the game was first codified by the F.A. The English would take the first few letters and add -er to the end. So Association became Soc-c-er and Rugby became Rug-g-er. Rugger died out due to the 1895 Rugby split into Union and League but Soccer has survived in former English-speaking British colonies where it wasn't the dominant Football code. People who complain about the word Soccer clearly don't know the history of Association Football.
"Wogball" is an offensive term to mock the sport and was never used outside Australia.

Certainly the most famous story in lawn bowls is about Sir Francis Drake and the Spanish Armada. On July 19, 1588, Drake was involved in a game at Plymouth when he was notified that the Spanish Armada had been sighted. The tale says his response was, "There is plenty of time to win the game and thrash the Spaniards too." He then proceeded to finish his match and the British Navy soundly defeated the Armada. There is a lot of controversy as to whether this event actually took place.

Yep that's right.
When the F.A. was formed in 1863 to come up with one agreed set of Football rules in England, it included Rugby rules delegates but they couldn't compromise and broke away from the F.A. in 1871 and Rugby remained a separate code of Football. The remaining F.A. delegates (Cambridge Rules and Sheffield Rules) were able to find a compromise between their two set of rules and created what we know as Soccer today - Association (rules) Football - in 1877. Rugby itself then split in two when those advocating professional Rugby (mostly the Rugby playing working classes of Northern England) broke away to form Rugby League in 1895. The same schism occurred in Australian Rugby in 1908. An interesting historical footnote is if Rugby League didn't form in Sydney in 1908 then the working classes of Sydney would've switched to Aussie Rules and the Australian sporting landscape wouldn't have ended divided by the so-called Barassi line.
As for Soccer, British sailors, merchants and migrants took the game with them around the world and formed clubs even in non-English speaking countries which the locals embraced and those clubs have now gone on to become some of the biggest football clubs in the world - eg. AC Milan where the AC stands for Associazione Calcio (Association kick/football) and Milan is the English spelling of the Italian Milano; River Plate which was formed by Argentinians who saw British saliors playing Soccer on the Buenos Aires docks; Athletic Bilbao in Spain is another that keeps its English roots in its name.

Man Utd have rejected Chelsea's 2nd bid for Rooney
Manchester United have rejected a second bid from Chelsea for striker Wayne Rooney, the club have confirmed.
Chelsea put forward an offer for the England forward on Sunday, thought to be around £25m plus add-ons that would take the deal towards somewhere near the £30m mark, but it was immediately rejected.
A United spokesman said: "A bid was received yesterday and immediately rejected. Our position remains that he is not for sale."
The second bid and United's swift response will now focus Rooney's mind on his future at Old Trafford – there have been reports that he will consider handing in an official transfer request. The Chelsea manager, José Mourinho, has made the 27-year-old his top transfer target and Rooney told the former United manager Sir Alex Ferguson last season that he wanted a move. Chelsea's goalkeeper Petr Cech has also welcomed the club's pursuit of Rooney.
David Moyes has repeatedly stressed that Rooney is not for sale. The player, however, was unimpressed by the manager's remarks that he would effectively have to be an understudy to Robin van Persie.

footballer finds husband's severed head dumped on doorstep
31 October 2013 09:06 AM By Suthentira Govender
His horrified wife found the head - with the eyes and tongue had been cut out - but the rest of his body is still missing
Beheaded: Joao Rodrigo Silva Santos
The wife of a kidnapped footballer found her husband's severed head dumped on her doorstep.
The player's eyes and tongue had been cut out and his head placed inside his own rucksack.
Horrified police in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, believe Joao Santos was targeted by drugs gangs because his wife Geisa, 31, works at a police base.
Joao, 35, who had played for several teams in the city as well as abroad, set up a health food shop after retiring from the game two years ago.
Witnesses said they saw several men bundling him into his car after he closed on Monday.
A relative said Geisa stayed up all night after her husband failed to arrive home.
He added: "She was getting ready to go to work at 5.30am when she heard a noise, opened the door and saw his rucksack. Inside was his head. From what I know, neither had any enemies."
Geisa is a social worker with military police battling violent gangs in Rio's notorious slums. Police hunting for Joao's body called it a "barbarous crime."

Manchester City have reportedly won the race to sign the ‘next Lionel Messi’ after beating off competition from Barcelona to sign 14-year-old Brahim Abdelkader Diaz from Malaga’s youth academy.
Diaz has been attracting attention from Europe’s top clubs, with a number of videos displaying the teenager’s natural skill and ability surfacing on the internet. With initial reports suggesting that Barcelona leading the way in the hunt for his signature, it now appears City have beaten them to the punch after agreeing a deal with his current club.
A figure believed to be £300,000 will be paid up front, with the Manchester club ready to shell out up to £2.4m dependent on what he achieves at the Etihad Stadium.
Despite his young age, Pere Guardiola – the brother of Bayern Munich manager Pep and current agent of Liverpool striker Luis Suarez – has been at the heart of the negotiations, and figures of between £30m-£40m have floated about should the wonderkid go on to reach his touted potential.
Given his sensational skill set and playmaking ability, Brahim has been heralded as the next Lionel Messi. In an October report by Jones, it was noted that Barca had two unsuccessful bids for him in the past.
A £2.5 million offer from Barcelona was rejected by Malaga back in 2012, and even when Messi, Xavi and Andres Iniesta met and attempted to persuade Brahim to join their side, it was ultimately to no avail.
City manager Manuel Pellegrini and the organization had scouted Brahim for two years, and what Jones called a "cordial" relationship between City and Malaga was evidently enough to make Monday's deal a reality.
Pellegrini managed Malaga from 2010 to 2013 before being announced as Roberto Mancini's successor on June 14.
Barcelona had designs of bringing Brahim up to their first team by the age of 16. Thus, a similar timeline should be expected for when the Citizens are able to call on their highly c

Sick of hearing about rioting crowds at or surrounding soccer games here in Australia.
It's unAustralian, and it's a frigin disgrace. :gobdrop
Yeah I know it's not the teams fault blah blah blah and all that crap, but seriously, the sport itself is boring as hell and the idiots that follow it should all be shot.
I actually believe that it's a great sport for kids to play and shouldn't be taken away.
Just get rid of the major teams at the higher levels and just ban the stoopid girlie game.

Unfortunately when alcohol is involved at sports functions, there is always that one group of idiots that just wanna be down right jerkoffs.
Soccer freaks on the other hand don't need alcohol because they are already bloody idiots.
Get this stupid so called crap sport out of Australia and let the rest of us love our sports and enjoy it.

What a ridiculous thread. Firstly, if you don't like a certain sport then why care about discussing it and grandstand your dislike of it :huh3. I have little interest in golf but that doesn't give me the right to foist my opinion of it down its fans/players' throats who understand or the nuances of the sport. Generalising about the fans of a sport that has the highest participation rate (~1.5 million) in the country because of the behaviour of a few morons is stupid. Would you like all footy fans being labelled racist because of the actions of a few Collingwood nethanderals? Secondly, if we banned everything that had a minority of idiots then there'd be nothing left. Might as well ban cars on our roads then as there's a small minority of idiots and hoons out there that never learn not to speed, drink-drive, txt on their mobiles or commit road rage assults. The great irony is that on Soccer and Rugby League forums out there, they have feral posters that hate Aussie Rules and think it's stupid and boring. Actually, the only thing that's boring in all this is this idiotic battle of the football codes crap :sleep.
Always wanted to know what "being un Australian is"....Do other nations believe in rioting,war,unfairness in sport,business,politics..how does one define being un australian
Better ban Cricket as well as the Poms also invented it so it must class as "unAustralian" :facepalm

I said it' a great sport for kids, I'm not trying to get rid of the sport, and fair enuff I didn't need to mention my personal feelings of the sport.
But you actually miss the whole point of the thread, THE VIOLENCE that ensues this sport.
Yes it is the most watched code of football in the world, and I'm quite aware of something so simple, but you have obviously not seen the ever ongoing riots that are directly associated with this sport.
I don't go trolling any forums putting down sports that I hate, rugby being one of them, and I never will.
This thread is NOT about me disliking soccer, it's about the violence, understand what your talking about before you post.
Open your eyes to a world of morons and millions of them that follow this sport, it not just a few here and there.
-
I see more incidents of crowd violence at the average ODI game than I do at the average A league game.
-
As most would know I am not a soccer fan
But from what I'm hearing this morning there was no problems or issues last night
yes there have been issues at soccer games in this country but other sports have had issues as well.
I mean who could forget the antics of a certain minority groups at the tennis over the last few years with their flairs and brawling in the garden areas. Just as bad if not worse IMHO and BTW you will find ours is the only Grand Slam where it happened at. So far (fingers crossed) we haven't had any problems this year
Yeah I know it's not the teams fault blah blah blah and all that crap, but seriously, the sport itself is boring as hell and the idiots that follow it should all be shot.
So on one hand you are condemming the violence at soccer games but at the same time you are advocating and condoning violence as a solution. Oki Doki ::)
Open your eyes to a world of morons and millions of them that follow this sport, it not just a few here and there.
So what you are you saying is that the folks on this forum, RFC loving folks BTW are morons simply because they follow soccer? Massive sweeping statement where you are tarring all soccer fans with the one brush, sorry but anyway you look at it that's not only not fair but is simply ridiculous
Are you that niave to not realise that violence happens at ALL sports and that includes AFL games, cricket to name a few.
Hell just last season I witnessed a handful of Richmond supporters get into a fight with each other during a game in a Richmond area .... so clearly other sports are not immune to violence
All sports have the moron factor with alot of it bought on by alcohol which you said yourself. But to suggest that alcohol plays not part in soccer violence because "Soccer freaks on the other hand don't need alcohol because they are already bloody idiots" is again a ridiculous statement and to be honest gives your original argument no validity at all

Man Utd have rejected Chelsea's 2nd bid for Rooney
Manchester United have rejected a second bid from Chelsea for striker Wayne Rooney, the club have confirmed.
Chelsea put forward an offer for the England forward on Sunday, thought to be around £25m plus add-ons that would take the deal towards somewhere near the £30m mark, but it was immediately rejected.
A United spokesman said: "A bid was received yesterday and immediately rejected. Our position remains that he is not for sale."
The second bid and United's swift response will now focus Rooney's mind on his future at Old Trafford – there have been reports that he will consider handing in an official transfer request. The Chelsea manager, José Mourinho, has made the 27-year-old his top transfer target and Rooney told the former United manager Sir Alex Ferguson last season that he wanted a move. Chelsea's goalkeeper Petr Cech has also welcomed the club's pursuit of Rooney.
David Moyes has repeatedly stressed that Rooney is not for sale. The player, however, was unimpressed by the manager's remarks that he would effectively have to be an understudy to Robin van Persie.

"I have felt comfortable at this club from the first minute," said the 25-year-old.
"Time has gone so quickly but the welcome has been amazing.
"The lads are really good and there is a great atmosphere."
"To be honest I didn't train that much last week because of the transfer," he said. "I know I can improve."
"Rooney and Robin are two of the best strikers in the world," said Mata.
"It will be amazing to play alongside them.
"I just want to help them, and help the team win matches.
"We need to sustain this feeling.
"I am always positive. If any club can come back and climb the table it is this one.
"It will take time but hopefully we can go back up the table. That is what we have been talking about in the dressing room.
"We will try to win as many games as we can to the end of the season, hopefully all of them."
Edit - A couple more
"There is a great atmosphere. I am very happy and looking forward to the next game.
"The stadium is unbelievable. The fans are so loud. Even before the game. It has been an amazing time for me.
"Even social media has shown me so much. The amount of fans this club has is unbelievable."

Members of the Russian parliament have written to FIFA asking it to consider excluding Jurgen Klinsmann’s USA team from the 2014 World Cup finals in Brazil.
• World Cup Daily
Alexander Sidyakin and Michael Markelov, two members of the Duma, addressed their concern about the “U.S.’s military aggression against several sovereign states” and named Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya and Syria among those suffering from U.S. aggression.
They also included “numerous cases of human rights violation all over the world revealed by E. Snowden,” and asked FIFA to “urgently convene an emergency session to consider suspending U.S.’s membership in FIFA and denying the U.S. team the right to participate in the upcoming 2014 World Cup in Brazil.”

Credit where its due, Chelsea took us to the cleaners. Brilliant tactical game, for all our possession cant recall one clearcut chance, yeah a couple of shots but nothing that really troubled their goal. Theyve beaten City and us both times this season. Love him or hate him, Jose is brilliant
-
Master gave the apprentice a lesson from the bench. Mourinho is a superstar coach and he absolutely toasted Rodgers last night in just about all facets of coaching and managing a football side. Dont feel sorry for Gerard at all. He has become far too emotional in this campaign. Its this emotion that will probably cost the Liverpool the premier league.
-
fascinating game to watch it really was.
-
Any title that isn't won by Man.Ure has my full support.
-
Gerard may have just dropped the title
You mean Herschelle Gibbs. :lol :rollin :lol
As a Man U fan I hope Chelsea win it. Couldn't bear to see the Bitters do it again.

Man City has made Gerrard pay for his (literal) slip up. Back on top on goal difference with just two games to play.

United have been awful all year. Next year with a bona fide elite coach is the key added to some serious spending in the transfer market after the WC in Brazil.

Chelsea's slim title hopes are over. Held to a nil-all draw at home by Norwich.
Down to just two:

Don't worry, the Mighty Hamsters will get the Scousers over the line, just like we did Rovers back in '95. Mancs sides on last days - piece of cake for us.

Man City 4-0 Aston Villa.
Man City now only need a draw at home against the Hammers to win the title. Liverpool on the other hand need to beat Newcastle at Anfield and then hope West Ham causes a massive upset.
At the other end of the table, Norwich, Fulham and Cardiff will be relegated.
Leicester City and Burnley have won automatic promotion to the EPL next season. The 3rd and final promotion spot will be fought out between Derby County, QPR, Wigan and Brighton.

“Of course I’m disappointed, but I can analyse this,” the manager said. “I am not shocked because I know what can happen, and I think also that Milton Keynes played very well, very aggressively, and they had also a little bit of luck.”
He also repeated his previous calls for patience from United supporters. “It’s very difficult when you start as manager in the Premier League with a home match loss [to Swansea] and after that a draw [with Sunderland] and then lose a cup match, then for the fans it is very difficult to believe, still believe, in the philosophy of Louis van Gaal. But you have to do that, you have to do that, because I am here to build a new team, and a new team is not built in one month.”

What a crazy night in the 4th round of the FA Cup!
Chelsea 2-0 up lost at home 2-4 to Bradford City (who are in league one - the old third division).
Man City should have been five up at half-time but lost 0-2 to Middlesbrough.
Southampton, Tottenham and Swansea are all knocked out as well.
This all coming a day after Man Utd was held to a goal-less draw by league two (4th division) side Cambridge Utd.

Chokerpool now officially a middle of the road side that can't retain it's best players and flirts around the edges like Spurs.

City paid £49m to Liverpool for Sterling
good riddance - 49mill pounds and 200k pounds per week - wowee.
odds of flushing the funds from the sale down the toilet? pretty high :banghead
Ins so far:
James milner(mid)(free) - big tick
Firmino(att mid)(29mill) - looks the goods but always a question mark on whether some south American players can handle the hustle of the EPL
Clyne(right back)(12.5 mill) - big tick quality right back
Ings(fwd)(free, small comp fee) - good signing adds quality to the squad upgrade on Lambert/Borini and Ballotelli
Origi(fwd)(loan return) - Reckon this kid will light it up, had an average year in France but has some real skill and pace
Gomez(def)(3.5mill) - wont play much yet, 18, one for the future
Bogdan(GK)(free) - meh backup keeper
Outs:
Stirling(49mill) - Big talent no doubt but we made out like bandits on this one :cheers
Aspas(3.6mill) - fwd that was a silly buy
Glen Johnson - released free
Brad Jones - released free
Steve Gerard - free LA Galaxy
Hopefully lambert, Ballotelli, Borini and Allen to follow suit.
Would expect Firmino, Clyne and Milner to be starters with Origi and Ings getting plenty of opportunities early with Sturridge sicknote injured again.
Would hope we can land a real quality striker like Lacazette or Higuain and a defensive mid like Illarramendi before the season starts to round off the squad nicely.

As much as Reus has been one of my favourite BVB players, he's always injured and if Klaasen is his replacement then I'll take that and run. We could do with getting some more young players in, been holding on to the old guard too long and have been over taken by Schalke and Wolfsburg.
-
U r Dortmund fan?
Thats nice
If u guys r smart u ccould get ssilly money for reus..
Man u,cheski, Madrid etc.
Part of me hopes reus hummmels stay there long time
-
I love Reus and was bummed when I read that Liverpool were talking about offering £50milion but then I thought we won't really miss him as he's constantly injured. Just read before that Arsenal may try to beat Liverpool's offer with £200 million :gobdrop we could do heaps with that sort of money. We already have considerable extra money to play with after having such a poor start to the last season and ended up missing champions league, meaning a lot of clauses weren't activisted in contracts.
We should cause havoc in the Euro league. The squad is too strong. Too easy to run off quality names like Hummels, Subotic, Bender, Durm, Großkreutz, Aubameyang, Gündogan, Mkhitaryan, Schmelzer, Blaszczykowski, and now Bürki and hopefully Klaasen, we would be playing champs league if it wasn't for the horrid start to the season.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-news-transfers-dortmund-close-6140107
Though I won't complain keeping him ;D maybe that's the plan, we have the money to do it this year. We typically play with Reus LM and Gündogan holds the central spot (I think he's staying now after Klopp left and we got a new coach) so hard to see how we can play both Klaasen and Reus.
No surprise in Bayern. They get anyone they want :(

Here's an interesting perspective from a pom re: the AFL v Soccer debate for you Bent Judge....
http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/afls-longterm-future.1105372/page-2#post-39847929
-
The same case can be made for just about every professional sport in the word. I used to only think it applied to competitions like European football and U.S. Sports where they are privately owned but it's here too, just not to the same extent. Despite the growth of round ball here I still don't think it will take over any time soon but it should have a fair chance to really settle in as a solid summer code.
As for the state of the Euro competitions, well the domestic leagues have been replaced by champions league as the top flight and old mate who supports Everton will just have to deal with it.
-
Everton still have a very large supporter base in England and around the world as do Newcastle, Spurs and Aston Villa - not sure it's in the best interests of the game over there to continue to take that many supporters for granted for too long.

Geez Geez, I hope the scouse scum don't get reus

EPL starts tonight - first game Manu v Tottenham. should be a cracker!
Chelsea and The Arse to duke it out for the title.
Man City, manu and Liverpool to battle for 3rd and 4th.
Chelsea, man City and Arsenal not much activity in the transfer market. Manu and Liverpool gone ballistic again to try and close the gap.
Chelsea - No major ins
Arsenal - signed Peter Cech will add stability. If they get benzema in the next few weeks they'll be my title favourites
Man City - brought in Stirling and Delph. Stirling will add some real pace up front and combine well with Ken and Silva. Delph is good midfield depth, but reckon they needed more than that.
Manu - Depay = gun. Schweinsteiger if he is fully fit will be boss, Schneiderlin adds steel to midfield and Darmin is a highly rated leftback.
Liverpool - Benteke = beast. Ings quality bench depth up front. Firmino adds some more class to the attack, Milner will add steel to the centre of the park and Clyne is a class rightback. Starting lineup will have 4 new faces (benteke, Firmino, Milner and Clyne. Watch out for Jordan Ibe massive talent
Surprise packets that will battle for Europa places - Stoke(got 4 youngsters from Barcelona on their books now), Newcastle and Palace
Should we start an EPL thread?
-
Bosnich has massive wraps on Arsenal this season and has West Ham as the biggest movers (upwards). In laws are big Liverpool fans so I watch them a fair bit so keen to watch with Benteke now. Also happy not to have to watch Sterling. Couldn't stand how he runs and how he looks like he is going to cry every 2 seconds lol. I have never had an EPL team so I usually just watch with general interest but Schweinsteiger has been one of my favourite players for a long time so will look out for some Man U games. On paper Chelsea still look the strongest but don't they?
Kind of an also-ran but Europa qualifiers started. As predicted BVB smashed Wolsfberger 5 zip and should cruise through. I think we're too good for Europa and will sweep through but I'd hate to do a Monchengladbach and get to the pointy end then not only lose out in Europa but have fatigue and injury cause losing Bundesliga games.

Good call re the hammers! That was a very impressive performance last week.
Yeah Chelsea's squad is very strong and would still be favourites. Arsenal probably play the most attractive style in the league and are a Benzema signing away from giving it a shake. Man Utd have some big talent signings but seem light on for striker depth, wouldn't surprise if they signed a top quality forward before the window closes. Defence a bit suspect. City rival Chelsea for strongest squad but don't rate their manager or how they fell away last season. Liverpool suspect manager, a lot of attacking firepower, defence still looks suspect.
Hopefully Dortmund get back to where they belong after this season and glad they hung on to their talent. Halfway through last season it looked like they were going to lose Reus, Gundogen, Hummels, Aubemoyang geez they have a good roster..
-
We nearly lost Mkhitaryan too. That squad was in the brink of relegation for much of last season. Just goes to show how much is mental. Champion squad but if it doesn't click then it doesn't matter who is playing. If we carry our late season form over we should get back to top 4 Bundesliga and romp Europa cup. Big test first up against Monchengladbach.

Manchester City are delighted to announce that Kevin De Bruyne has joined the Club on a six-year deal.
The Belgian international playmaker will wear the no.17 shirt and follows in the footsteps of Raheem Sterling, Fabian Delph and Nicolas Otamendi in transferring to the Etihad Stadium this summer.
De Bruyne said: "I want to reach the highest level possible as a player and I think the most important thing is that at the end of the season we can be happy and maybe have some titles.
"I think this is the most important for the Club, the players and for the fans of course."

Klopp's style would be great for EPL I think, real run and gun, but would it suit Liverpool after losing pace from Sterling? Great coach though. Despite how horrid last season was for BVB I was bummed to lose him. Besides getting smashed by Bayern yesterday Tuchel seems like a more than handy replacement however. Aubameyang has been absolutely killing it under the new formation.
-
Rodgers' Liverpool went backwards as soon as Suarez left. Suarez needed a muzzle at Anfield but his goals got them results onfield. That's the problem for Liverpool. They can't match it on the transfer market with the Chel$ea, Man $ity, Arsenal and Man U's, let alone the big continental clubs like Real, Barca, Juve, Bayern, etc. The aura of the 70s & 80s has long gone so the modern stars see the best way to fame, fortune and major trophies is elsewhere away from Anfield.

5 of Bayern's came against BVB yesterday and another 5 were from Lewandowski in 9minutes last week showing why he still should be at BVB. We were due to be flogged by them. We were top of the table, undefeated for 5 games then drew against two crap teams and then Bayern gave us a mighty wake up call. Thought we were primed for it though since we only sent a second string squad to Greece the other day for a Euro game leaving everyone else to rest at home. Oh well, can't help but admire Bayern. Superstars on every line and deserve to be one of most powerful sides today.
We have Mainz next so hopefully that will get is back on the winners list and for Aubameyang to keep his scoring record streak going :cheers

Pool have dropped 200mill pounds in the transfer market the past 2 years, they have money to spend but the morons don't have an eye for talent. The stars want champions league football, but they also want to play under a good coach

Yeah it would I reckon, we have a squad that's geared towards run and gun., which is why the way we've been playing since late last season has been so disappointing. There will be an instantaneous improvement under the new manager.
If Klopp indeed got the job he'd need to consolidate the young players in the squad and next transfer window buy 1 or 2 world class talents to compliment them. Creative players like Ibe, Sturridge, Coutinho, Firmino will flourish under him.

how many more transfers windows will Dortmund be able to keep reus and hummels/
-
meanwhile - http://gfycat.com/WhimsicalTinyHoverfly
-
Some good kids coming through like Weigl and Hoffman so hopefully we can keep at least Reus for another couple seasons while they mature. He seems to love the club though, so if we qualify for champions league this season he might commit for longer. I love Hummels but he wouldn't be as big a blow. We've already got Sokratis, Subotic and young Ginter who is the next Hummels, has already made the national squad too (I think he was in the WC winning 11 too?). Ginter is a beast at full back but also has the pace to play RB opposite Schmelzer.
I don't think Reus is make or break for BVB anymore though. He's an amazing player but I don't think we'll be so lost without him with Kagawa, Mithikaryan Castro, Sahin and Gundogan already there though granted that probably only Mithi and Gundogan could play Reus's attacking mid/forward role. Blaszczykowski is on loan to Fiorentina so we would have him back too. If we make champions league then we may have to sell someone anyway to sure up the strikers. We've only got Aubameyang who is a gun but the only real backup is Ramos (not the good one). That won't be good enough to challenge all of Bundesliga, dfb pokal and CL.
And there's my BVB/Bundesliga 2cents ;D

Despite how horrid last season was for BVB I was bummed to lose him. Besides getting smashed by Bayern yesterday Tuchel seems like a more than handy replacement however. Aubameyang has been absolutely killing it under the new formation.
Yeah it would I reckon, we have a squad that's geared towards run and gun., which is why the way we've been playing since late last season has been so disappointing. There will be an instantaneous improvement under the new manager.
If Klopp indeed got the job he'd need to consolidate the young players in the squad and next transfer window buy 1 or 2 world class talents to compliment them. Creative players like Ibe, Sturridge, Coutinho, Firmino will flourish under him.
It's not until you run the names off do you realise how under performing Liverpool have been.

Reckon Klopp would be happy with that result even though in recent times Tottenham have been our bunnies. Undermanned - Benteke, Sturridge, Firmino, Henderson, Ings all missing - decent result

Yep, very good result, first team this year to out run Spurs

Why was Sturridge missing? I caught a bit of the first half after I got home back to the wogs joint after the A League game but didn't see a lot.
Hard to expect Klopp to put his fingerprint on after only one week but you can already tell he has turned the play up a gear.

Sturridge had a swollen knee or a splinter in his pinky not sure which

BVB still making a mockery of early stages of Euro cup. 3:1 away over some Azerbaijan team with 73% possession and 17 shots. Great chance to blood young blokes like Weigl and Hoffman at least.

Gundogan? Absolutely burnt his opponent in that clip. Still got Sahin to come back too. These German born Turks go alright.
Read this morning that Barca are keen on Aubameyang but they can get stuffed. Contracted for quite a few more years and we're slight on strikers. He's really it. I hope we don't put too much effort into trying to win Europa Cup. Gladbach tried last season but they ended up bombing out late in the season and missed champions league qualification because of it. I'd rather make CL again and attract a player or two.

:thumbsup welcome ;D Schwarz und gelb, echte liebe! Tuchel is doing a great job so far. Changed the formation and put his stamp on. Poor Mainz though. First Klopp, now Tuchel, I guess we'll take their next one too when it's time :lol
Difference between us and Bayern is we generally have the best Germans (have most in national squad at the moment I think, Reus, Ginter, Gundogan, Hummels) but Bayern are a continental heavy weight and get the best internationals. We would only be a small step behind Bayern and but clearly ahead of Wolfsburg and Schalke who would make up the "big 4" I guess you would call it. Got Bayern in the dfb pokal semi last season on penalties but ended up losing the final to Wolfsburg.
I love Bundesliga though. It's fast and silky and has an edge of aggression. Any of you blokes use beIN sports? Occasionally if I'm home during a Dortmund game one of the krauts on their FB page would put up a dodgy stream from somewhere but thinking about getting the cheapo version for computers/devices since apparently you can watch games already played which would suit me. It's cheaper that way than getting it attached onto Foxtel but I can't seem to find Aussie reviews of it in terms of quality of feed and availability of replays.

If they do end up winning it then it will shut up Wenger's critics for good. The club has stood by him while they had to sacrifice transfer money for the cost of moving to Emirates and now that's behind them, Arsenal are back on track for genuine tilts at major trophies.

Agree, became a fan of the bundesliga a few yrs ago when they showed games on that digital channel one I think? It's good quality and very fast. My bro in law got it on Foxtel to watch champions league and uefa cup and will let me know how the computer streaming version is. Says you can watch any other CL/uefa cup game that's on live streaming? I'll let you know

So I caved and got beIN sports. I just wanted to test a month but you have to do two months and a signing fee. But still, cheaper than 12 months. Ended up coughing up the extra $3 for the Foxtel sub (hey big spender) which comes with the mobile/computer device (beIN connect) package. They only offer SD but at the moment just got it on a Championship (England) show and quality is great. But I just logged into the website and went to catch up and looked up this morning's Dortmund v Augsburg game (just happened to fast forward right to the exact moment Gundogan forwarded a pass from Ginter to Aubameyang with the most ridiculous back heel which resulted in a goal :o). Quality is decent on my Bigpond cable. Haven't tried from my iphone 6+ or a tab yet. Working daylight hours I'm not going to be able to catch many games live but I've got it to just watch back Dortmund games when we win. Also keen to catch some Bayern games. Bayern v Wolfsburg this week I think which will be an absolute corker. Foxtel already has UEFA CL but doesn't show many games and doesn't have Euro Cup so can get them on this. Also noticed it has Serie A so will at least be able to watch some AC. From what I can tell beIN (previously Setanta sports) covers:
English divs 2-4
Two of the English cups
Bundesliga
German cup (DFB Pokal)
Serie A
Ligue 1
La Liga
UEFA CL and Euro

I watched Benfica in a Primeira Liga game a couple weeks ago on Eurosport and it was the most batshit boring game I have ever seen. They had over 70% possession and just kept bobbing it between the CBs and occasionally took it forward. Then if the attack wasn't going to work they took it back to the CBs and just did the same thing. It was about 35mins before they registered a shot on goal :sleep

Can't see any of the big teams buying anyone? No real stand outs even squad. The manager seems brilliant . A top line keeper would be good? Chelsea or something might bid stupid money for oxford given he is English . Hopefully they tell them to fo like bobby martinez / john stones

Bayern v Frankfurt was a great game. Bayern were near full strength (though started with some like Alaba, Thiago and Müller on the bench) but Frankfurt went in with a damage control plan and when they realised they had nailed the match ups and were defensively water tight they tried getting in front. Ended up nil all draw but Bayern's winning streak is over. Vidal was probably the only Bayern standout.
-
Chelsea 1 - 3 Liverpool
liverpool improving quickly under Klopp, Firmino and Benteke starting to settle in well, defence which has been the Achilles heel for so long, looks much stronger, amazing how much easier it is for them when everyone else up the ground is doing their bit and closing down space. Chelsea look woeful, defending was embarrassing at times tbh.

It sold Fox subs in Aus because people could watch it on their big HD TV screens without costs to their bandwidth. Poor move from Optus, it won't gain the volume of customers they are after and Fox will probably just go buy the other Euro comps and effectively put beIN out of business here since they only offer one SD Fox station and a streaming service.

first half was as good football as I've seen in the PL this season, should've been 6-7 up at halftime. Interesting Klopp went with no recognised striker just a shedload of smart skillfull attacking mids who picked apart City at will.
Other results
Watford 1-2 Man Utd
Chelsea 1-0 norwich
Everton 4-0 Aston Villa
Newcastle 0-3 Leicester
Southampton 0-1 Stoke
Swansea 2-2 Bournemouth
West Brom 2-1 Arsenal

5 of Bayern's came against BVB yesterday and another 5 were from Lewandowski in 9minutes last week showing why he still should be at BVB. We were due to be flogged by them. We were top of the table, undefeated for 5 games then drew against two crap teams and then Bayern gave us a mighty wake up call. Thought we were primed for it though since we only sent a second string squad to Greece the other day for a Euro game leaving everyone else to rest at home. Oh well, can't help but admire Bayern. Superstars on every line and deserve to be one of most powerful sides today.
We have Mainz next so hopefully that will get is back on the winners list and for Aubameyang to keep his scoring record streak going :cheers

Fair to say Klopp is having an effect at Liverpool..

And BVB are back to awesome form under Tuchel with pretty much the same squad. Goes to show what a fresh start can do for quality managers like Klopp.
-
Bayern's first loss of the season means Dortmund are only 5 pts behind.
Little Leicester City is back on top in England. The problem for the less wealthy clubs is they usually get overrun in the new year by the richer clubs with stronger squads. Arsenal have snuck up to second with both Manchester clubs dropping points. If Klopp can keep his magic going at Anfield, even Liverpool down in seventh are still in with a shot. It's been an unusually even season in the EPL this year.
-
kagawaaaaaaaaa
Arsenal looking very smooth
-
Going to have to definitely watch the catch up on beIN of BVB v Wolfsburg. What a game. Wolfsburg level at 91st then Kagawa with the winner at 93rd. Dortmund are only a 5 points and a single goal off Bayern now, that's huge :cheers. Goals against is telling though, despite us having no trouble scoring we just can't seem to get the clean sheets and will definitely have to be seriously worked on before we go back into the CL next year. Leckie's Ingolstadt are doing well too.

If he wants to he can keep vardy and mahrez in theory - they both just signed long term too, before hitting nuts form

Stoke are excellent.

No one seems to want to win the EPL title this year lol. You could argue that Spurs is the team most in form in recent weeks. They've now jumped up to 4th. Even Palace has a sniff in 5th place :o.
Also, Dan Gaal will be lucky to survive another week at Old Trafford.

Just when you think a heavyweight like arsenal is primed to consolidate a serious title challenge they go and get thumped by Southampton.

Spurs blew a chance drawing with Everton and you'd expect Leicester to eventually fall away as it's hard for smaller clubs to keep up over a whole season with the rich ones. So it's looking more and more like it's down to a race between the Gunners and Man City.

The Arse came from behind twice then hit the front before Joe Allen of all people levelled a couple of minutes before time

Agree, was a belter. Surely Migs has done his dash, hoping Ward gets a run soon and shows himself to be a good keeper. Migs is a great shot stopper but terrible with the high ball and the premiership is not the league to be weak with the high ball.
Firmino was on fire, looks a lot better playing up front rather than attacking mid, thought we should have iced the game in the first half, but we keep copping cheap goals. I thought we were great right across the park except for our two central defenders and our keeper. Sahko looked underdone coming back from injury and Toure was running around like he had skates on or concrete boots when Giroud turned him.

Gunners !!!
What a huge goal that might be
Massive comeback win for Arsenal. Chasing down 8 pts on the table would've been very tough. This week would've been the first that Leicester would've felt the pressure of seeing the title as something for them to lose. Did they choke in the second half?
Btw Spurs keep on winning. I still have them as the side in best form.
Man City will need some huge turnaround in their form or they can kiss their title hopes goodbye in the upcoming weeks.
ps. LOL at Messi's fake penalty side pass. Only Barcelona would pull a goal like that off :clapping.

Losing critical games at the wrong time will cost the Gunners the title.
On the other hand, Spurs win again and remain only two points behind Leicester (I'm not a Tottenham fan btw).

'‘Tuchel, who puts out every cone himself, has his players practising on slippery, extremely narrow or extremely wide pitches, makes them control the ball with their knees before passes and instructs defenders to hold on to tennis balls to stop them pulling the shirts of opponents. The aim is to make training so complex and mentally demanding that the game feels relaxing by contrast. “At first, we wondered what these things had to do with football but we realised quickly that they worked,” said Neven Subotic. “Some exercises last two and a half hours. But because they always change, it doesn’t feel like that”.’

Bartra, Emre Mor, Dembele, Sebastian Rode, and apparently we're in box seat for Raphael Guerreiro (Portugal and Lorient) and Jurgen Damm (that freakishly quick Mexican bloke at Tigres) we're going quite well this window :cheers
Still got coin to burn after Hummels and Gundogan sales and apparently Mkhitaryan is going too. So I really hope we splash that cash on a big name. We aren't know for buying stars, instead developing them, but we've got a massive hole in the playmaking spot without Gundogan and Mkhitaryan and we'll need somebody for champions league.

Raphael Guerreiro (Lorient and Portugal. Had a ripper game against Albania in Euros the other day) confirmed to Dortmund. Young talent time at BVB this window. Absolutely killing it. Blocking Mkhitaryan transfer to Man U though. Not sure I'm happy with him leaving for nothing next year but the club might be backing themselves in for strong showings in league/cup/CL for revenue to cover the loss. Or we might be holding out for highest bidder end of window and/or waiting on Götze.

If so - yes I reckon zlatan will do well cause he's a winner. 50 goals last season. Not quite 90 goals-messi season but still pretty fancy. The French league isn't dreadful
What's more interesting is now the small clubs can bid 20/30/40 million pounds. It's good to see the playing field even

they just got schurrle and strongly linked the gotze (lol @ spurs) ...
-
Haven't seen an official report on Schürrle besides Wolfsburg accepting a bid and Schürrle agreeing to personal terms. I think that's just waiting on a signature to be official. Götze has snubbed EPL teams to remain in Germany and everywhere is reporting a return to Dortmund. If that wasn't the case then we wouldn't have bothered with Schürrle and just gone straight for Draxler. Instead we get two for the price of one. Technically we play 5 in the forward half on paper but we interchange CM and CAM roles on the park. I think we will look something like:
---------------Bürki
Piszczek---Sokratis---Bartra----Smelzer
--------------Weigl
Schürrle---Götze---Kagawa---Reus
---------Aubameyang
But that's assuming Smelzer gets captain's band, otherwise Guerreiro (Portugal) would probably go LB.
-
Piszczek---Ginter---Bartra----Smelzer
--------------Weigl
---------Götze---Kagawa
----Dembele------------Reus (c)
----------Aubameyang
:shh
-
Dembele will be a gun :shh watched him in the practice game and that pace and truly ambidextrous. We've stocked up well for the future. There's that Dembele, Emre Mor and Pulisic. I don't think if we had lost Mkhitaryan we would have gone for anyone else and just developed youth but with league, cup and CL we really needed experience. Gundogan, Hummels and Mkhitaryan are huge losses that had to be replaced. Some of our fringe players like Castro, Kuba and now Rode (from Bayern) are super handy and would be starters in almost any other top league side (besides the top sides of course). I know we were targeting Arda Turan from Barca (more bloody Turks) but that talk stopped as soon as we got linked to Götze. If all goes to plan we will be getting Götze back off Bayern for less than we sold him for ;D. The fans will be interesting in that one though after the "pee off Götze" banners when he returned with Bayern.
Don't follow a great deal of EPL and probably even less now that it's on Optus but how good will FUT be in FIFA 17 with so many players heading to England ;D

TT played 3 back in the cup final probably because of how important it is to constantly attack Bayern but he'll likely go back to a 451 or 4141 sort of set up (was usually 4231 under Klopp but TT is more attacking minded), so take out Castro and chuck Smelzer or Guerreiro at LB and that's probably the side. Reus will miss the start of the season so Schürrle will go there and as promising and class as Dembele is, once Reus is back Schürrle will most likely start on the right side because of big time experience and you don't pay €30million, breaking your transfer fee record, to buy a bench player. Dembele will still get plenty of starts in the DFB pokal and against lower Bundesliga sides.
Here is our squad now as it stands. Lost 3 players for €100 and brought in about 8 for that price and Gundogan is honestly the only loss. Can't see anything else happening this window. Rumours of a Kuba transfer which would be a shame but we are loaded in the wing positions now and he wouldn't fetch enough of a fee to go find anyone more than depth player.

I know what you mean but he plays because we already had Dembele and they still broke our transfer record (previously was purchasing Mkhitaryan for £27million) to buy him ;D he wasn't bought to play second fiddle to Reus. TT is the one who made him who he was at Mainz and when he was awesome in the WC but has probably dropped off since.TT must be confident he can get him back to his best, transform him like he did Mkhitaryan. Don't forgot that Dembele is truly ambidextrous though and can play either side.
I agree though, Dembele oozes class and will still get a heap of starts. TT doesn't have a Dortmund best 11 so he will be rotated through bench and starting. Completely different story come 17/18 season though. Dembele, Mor, Passlack and Pulisic :shh
-
I don't think BD were planning on selling 107 million worth of players.
www.transfermarkt.com/borussia-dortmund/alletransfers/verein/16
Most people on earth think you overpaid for schurrle. However the market has gone bannanas. As you had money to burn. The transfer fee doesn't always matter when picking the best side - bayern got Lwski for free yet say in public he's the best striker going round
Reus and Auby are the 1st and 2nd fiddlers if fit and it in form. It will be impressive to keep them away from bayern/barca/rm next 2-3 years
-
We definitely overpaid, no one is disputing that. Heaps of Dortmund boards didn't even want him. Most wanted Draxler but he would have cost the same as Götze and Schürrle together and Dortmund don't operate like that. I trust Tuchel though. He made him into a gun at Mainz and probably thinks he can do it again. Auby won't go to Bayern, I think he'll be gone next summer to La Liga or EPL. He has said before that he wants to play in all the top leagues and City were sniffing hard this window. He will still have about 3 years left on his contract and Dortmund won't sell him to Bayern. If he repeats his form this coming season I can see us getting something absolutely stupid for him and we can load up on more players.

Unless we sign Gomez then it won't be this window. Personally I'd rather not sign Gomez and just keep Auby another season. He has a few years left on his contract with no buy out clause (we don't offer that any more after Götze) and with a strict "only one star player sold per window" policy that was unfortunately broken due to 3 players wanting out with only a year left means we won't be letting him go anywhere and short changing ourselves a world class striker.
Bundesliga should be good this season. Leverkusen didn't do too bad on transfers and Schalke and Wolfsburg should bounce back.

Fair enough, makes sense, but maybe just maybe an offer too good to refuse will come along - and he'd be worth every penny - seriously one of my fav strikers in world football
-
He also said a little while ago he wanted to play in all the big Euro leagues and there was a very real chance of him going to City. Pep was super keen after watching him from Bayern but I don't think the €90 million tag we had on him was that enticing ;D
We'll eventually sell him I'm since there is huge interest in him, but as I said just not this window since we just can't afford to let him go when we've got a very real chance of winning league and going far in UCL. If he repeats his form can you imagine the stupid fee he would attract? I'm sure we'd load up the squad with that sort of money like we did this window.

Inter: We want to buy Perisic.
Wolfsburg: Fine. That’ll be 20 million.
Inter: Huh. We were thinking more in the neighborhood of 17 million…
Wolfsburg: That's too bad. 20 million.
Inter: 17.5 million?
Wolfsburg: No. 20 million.
Inter: Let's start over -- fortunately, we've devised our own formula for these sorts of situations. Here's the deal: Season-long loan for 2.5 million, with obligation to buy later at 15 million?
Wolfsburg: No. 20 million.
Inter: Okay, okay, how about this. Season-long loan for 3 million, obligation to buy later at 14.5 million.
Wolfsburg: No. 20 million.
Inter: Okay okay, let's add some bonuses here. Season-long loan for 3 million, obligation to buy later at 12 million, with a 1 million bonus if he makes more than 15 appearances and an extra 1.5 million in bonuses if we make the Champions League?
Wolfsburg: No. 20 million.
Inter: Hold on just a minute, we’ll sweeten the deal. Two-season loan with obligatory purchase for 10 million, paid in five semi-monthly installments, alongside a 5 million bonus after his first five substitute appearances in away matches, plus a four-year bonus royalty rate of 500 bucks for every pass he completes in a Coppa Italia match or a summer friendly (some restrictions apply), a 2 million discount credit to be applied to all future purchases, 8.6% of profits from all Perisic jersey sales (not including child sizes), the use of Erick Thohir’s personal helicopter whenever he’s out of town, and a complimentary bottle of champagne?
Wolfsburg: Do you have 20 million? If not, I think we’re done here…
Inter: Wait, wait. Fine. We’ll pay the 20 million. Paid in installments over 6 years.
Wolfsburg: 3 years.
Inter: 5 years.
Wolfsburg: 3 years.
Inter: 4 years.
Wolfsburg: 3 years.
Inter: All right, that sounds like a deal, 20 million paid over 3 years. Well, it took us three months, but I'm glad we could finally hammer out an agreement that I hope we can both live with. Pleasure doing business with you. Do you take American Express?

I dont reckon they can win it. Midfield still needs work - morgan/herrera/Miki are not top shelf imo. Valencia/Darmian need to be upgraded - and very interested to see how many Zlatan ends up scoring - love him but reckon hes getting a bit long in the tooth to be able to dominate the PL. Martial looks likely but like Rashford, still developing. Too many questions marks yet, but jose will whip them into shape and they'll challeneg sooner rather than later.

I they play a back three then you can have then all on the pitch at once. Heaps of deapth with the like of Zinchenko.

Hull's knocked off the reigning champs Leicester on the first day.
And Paddy McNair, making his debut for Sunderland, scored an own goal in the 87th min after being subbed on just 4 minutes earlier lol. This is on top of the Black Cats giving away a needless penalty after just 4 minutes. A gift three points to Man City to start the season.

It was just lack of polish on finishing. Several times Auba, Kagawa and Dembele had Neuer beat only to completely miss the goal. Passlack was slick too. Going to be stiff to miss out once Reus and Schürrle come in. Hummels copping it from the crowd was sweet too.
Any of you guys got Optus? I heard the broadcast quality with is pretty average. While I don't have a team in it and don't closely follow it I did enjoy watching a game or two of EPL every weekend.

Have a few friends that do and said the buffering was shocking, plus it was on delay by a few minutes, people were getting updates of goals on their apps well before TV.
I bought an android box and trialled HDsubs from techmedia, gives you all the sky sports HD channels (10 I think) so you can pick and choose whichever game you want to watch, as well as a crapload more channels from all over the world. Good quality, no buffering

great win for Liverpool overnight, 1st game at redeveloped Anfield Main Stand , biggest crowd since May 1977 & thumped the champions 4-1
-
very strong performance taz, our best seems to be getting better and better, some of the football we played last night was top shelf. Still, we've got to do something about the crap performances against the crap sides ala Burnley.
-
Lol @ Barca v Celtic. :help

It's a privilege to watch barca
They are awesome

Chelski 1 - Liverpool 2, up to 4th having played 1 home game & 4 away
:clap :clap

First half was great, last 10 mins we were defending very deep and based on past history expected us to fold and conceed, but we defended solidly and took the deserved win. Now dont stuff it up by dropping points to dud sides like Burnley again
-
Irons doing their usual thing of following up a promising season with a crap one...should've stayed at Upton Park...
-
Haehaheaehahehae Man U.
Noticed it in the friendlies and even the first game against Mainz going 2-1 but the wholesale changes to the Dortmund squad are slow to gel. It was great to bounce back and romp Darmstadt 6-0 after going down to Leipzig 0-1 (who only just got promoted bloody hell) last week but we can't afford to drop those stupid games. We trailed Bayern by around 4 points for the most of last season (yet lead them on goals scored) and dropping dumb games won't bridge the gap this season. Hopefully Reus is back soon and Götze can get into gear. Last season we had the luxury of cruisey Euro group stage but we're in a CL group with Real Madrid and Sporting CP so will need to get it together very soon. Luckily Warsaw are the +1 and we had them first up.
-
Bayern got lots of luv from the umpires.
Worse than a hawthorn game
The non pentaly on leckie was a joke
-
I didn't watch it closey, just had it on in the background while I was on the computer, but one thing I noticed about Leckie is the only thing letting him down is his finishing. Ingolstadt pretty competitive though :shh worst part about Bayern is they have a team of massive sooks who are try hard thugs like Ribery and the refs always fall for it.

Protests against RB Leipzig continuing 4 games into season. You know it's bad when even Hoffenheim are calling you a plastic club.
-
Forza red bull
-
That's one issue since the krauts are sticklers for tradition (this is not SSV Markranstädt), but the biggest reason for the dislike towards Leipzig is their ownership. DFB states that all Bundesliga clubs must be 50+1 owned by the members/supporters. There are some exceptions like if somebody has had the majority of the remaining share for 20 years or something. I can't remember the specifics but I saw it again in an article on ESPN FC the other day. Dortmund was used as an example. Their 139k members pay on average €62 a season and that includes full voting privilege of the club, they own 51%. Where as RB Leipzig members pay on average €1000 a season and that basic membership doesn't grant any voting rights. Technically they only have 17 members eligible to vote and they all have some sort of association with Red Bull.
Hoffenheim were previously seen as the plastic club and at their game against RB they were holding plastic signs saying something like "we want our throne back as the most hated club in Germany." :lol

What a horrible game to stay up and watch. Bayern dropped two points to Köln and I thought you beauty, good chance to gain the ground on them against Leverkusen. Except a combination of rotating in most of the B side after drawing against Real Madrid in CL the other day and Leverkusen playing like total grubs changed those plans. 4 yellows to half time, one could have made a case for a straight red. If that didn't make it hard enough the final deliveries into the box were putrid. Despite being 0-1 down our possession was nearly 70% up until half way through the second half when both Castro and Rode were subbed out which meant we had no holding mids. Dembele has insane skills but he's way too hungry and it let us down a lot. I think I prefer Emre Mor out of our young guys. Probably lacks some of the moves that Dembele has but he is just as silky, is faster and causes defenses to make mistakes and he's a better team player. Reus can't come back soon enough so someone like Schürrle can play in these rotation squads.
-
Liverpool win away again @ Swansea 2-1
up to 2nd, (other results pending) after playing 2 @ home & 5 away
-
Important win - copped an early goal and thought it was Burnley all over again when we didnt register a shot on goal in the first half!! But they upped the tempo and intensity in the 2nd half and were all over swansea to secure an important win. These are the games lfc drop in the past, good to see them turn it around and grind it out

Certainly playing some great football at the moment but having said that, last night we were 2-0 up and cruising, shouldve been 5 or 6 up, then copped one out of the blue which made for a nervy last 10 mins. In the past 100% we wouldve copped another one, so we are improving in our ability to grind it out, but still need to keep improving

Good result against palace - a bogeyside of recent times. First half was nuts, smashed them in general play and shouldve been 4-5 up, they had 2 chances 2 goals and thought here we go again... ::)
but good composure, tightened up and put the game out of reach in the 2nd half - 4th goal was a peach.
Klopp's done wonders, little things like Matip on a free transfer, Milner to left back, Lallana in a deeper midfield role, winjaldum signing, Firmino playing as a striker over sturridge and the best of the lot was signing Mane from southampton, absolute gun. Don't think we can win the title, still need work defensively especially on set pieces and not sold on either of our goalkeepers but geez we're playing some good football.
-
That's because Klopp is a genius ;D still sad when I see him at Liverpool as much as his final season with BVB meant he had to go.
Just watched BVB v Schalke from earlier this morning. Germany's biggest derby. It's a far better spectacle than watching heavy weights like Bayern. Something more primal about watching big teams with more domestic players and why a European super league would be a bad idea. Champions league is enough.
-
not sold on either of our goalkeepers
Well at least one thing hasn't changed at Anfield then.....

Arsenal never looked like scoring for 88 minutes last night and then took their only chance in the 89th min to grab a point at Old Trafford.
Liverpool also took a away point from Southampton.
While Man City won away at Palace.

Thanks for that Tony. Do you need an android box or can you download kodi onto your phone or tablet and stream HD subs? Also have you tried any of the free Kodi addons that stream the EPL?

Pretty sure you can download onto phone/tablet(i'll double check and get back to you) - i tried a lot of the free kodi addons and downloaded other addons people recommended myself, quality was pee poor though

Don't know if anyone has been listening to Santo, Sam and Ed's total football podcast every week (still miss the show), but Santo's parody on "Hitler has only got one ball" for Hummels last week was a corker.

Yeah nah I don't think so, its one thing to accept never winning the premiership and another to go from European aspirations to a relegation dogfight in the same season and having your best player wanting out.
We cut our losses, clawed back half the fee and saved on his exorbitant wages from pretty early on in the piece, your mob had him on loan, then paid a club record transfer fee and gave him 6 years :lol

We've been great this season bar the burnley and Bournemouth losses. It happens, yes its disappointing to lose when you're 3-1 up but truth be told we were lucky to even be in that position, no coutinho, Lallana, Matip and sturridge, with firmino playing out wide instead of central, just shows we don't have the quality of depth yet to cover. But overall we're playing some good exciting football

Less than half your fee....and so far he's scored four times as many goals for us in less than twice the apearances....yep, big "win" for you...Redshytes, the Kerry Packers of the EPL.... :clapping

Just bc he's scored more goals for you than he did for us doesnt make it a success. poo is still poo, even worse when its expensive.
Hes playing for you not us and getting paid by you = big win for us
-
Well we can only hope Vickery kicks 40+ next year for Hawthorn so you can declare that a "big win for Richmond"....
-
Yes bc fatty is going to trouble the scorers averaging his 6 goals per season :lol and somehow that is going to equate to Vickery kicking 40+ next year and me declaring it a success, smh. Is there a bigger bow you can draw? :lol
-
When you take into account the wldly different scoring rates in the respective codes, the fact it would still constitute them both scoring at twice the rate for their new clubs and that Hawthorn is actually a far better side than Richmond wheras Fat boy's been playing in what at least on paper and squad value should be a considerably weaker side than Liverpool it's no longer a bow to draw than your definition of a "big win".....
-
As I mentioned already, We cut our losses early on this one, yep we lost 17mill but saved considerably on his wages, could've been a whole lot worse. Not sure how that isn't a big win. He's scored 24 goals in 4 seasons for your mob, you can try and dress it anyway you like, but that is poo.
45mill pounds including 90k per week per season for 6 seasons for that spud, you're gonna need a bigger bow. It's comical watching you try and twist it to heap it on Liverpool when your mob continue to pay the price (and what a price) for his 'services' years later.
-
It's comical watching you continue to believe that getting less than half your money back for a dud who's gone to statistically improve more 100% at his next club constitutes a "big win" for you....,,but I sympathise as it must be hard when you support a club that's gone from winning trophies to hanging their hats on supposedly getting the better of a bottom half clubs in transfer deals...
Oh and as us for us maybe losing our best player...how have you lot been in regards to retaining your best players in recent years? Say hello to Torres, Chompers, & Sterling for me.....btw have you got rid of all the hacks Rodgers brought over yet? The amount of fizzers & shyte trucks your club's paid massive overs for over the years and the best you can hit us with is Carroll....haha stuff me drunk, you arrogant scouse polesmokers never change....

100% improvement of nothing is still nothing you nuffer but you keep telling yourself you've done well landing that overpaid dud for a club record fee no less. I have no issue admitting we stuffed up signing him, but at least we cut him quick smart recouped half the transfer fee and stopped paying a fat hack 90 quid a week, but yeah keep twisting it around that it's only Liverpool who stuffed up here wowser.
Actually statistically we have come out way ahead in transfers over the past few years, statistically no side has come out with better financial wins. Fact. We got a kings ransom for the 3 you mentioned, so whilst it's not great losing them, we certainly got compensated extraordinarily well for them. 50mill quid for Stirling LOL is now a shadow of the player he was, so too Torres. Choppers hurt bc he's the best player in the world but 80mill mends broken hearts. Incidentally who are the pooe trucks you're talking about? bc most of Rodgers' buys have now become very good players under Klopp. Lallana? Lovren? Firmino? Clyne? Origi? All good quality contributors not that an uneducated hater like yourself would know. Speaking of polesmokers, it's a pretty sad existence when the sum total of you contribution to this thread is to exclusively slag off one side. Get a life son

all good man, but coming from fellow Kopite, tipping when Klopp finishes the refurbishment, there wiil be quite a few new names in place of the ones you mentioned. the name of the game is championships and go as deep as you can in UCL...dropping games to poo trucks like Bournemouth says he still has work to do. Tipping he will throw the dice with the current list and hopefully snag a top 4 spot and ask for the cheque-book. At the end of the day he sussed out a Lewandowski so he can find the stars before they ascend to the stratosphere. As for Hardwick, oops sorry, I meant Rodgers and I will leave it at that ;)
-
No doubt, having said that firmino will be a star, Lallana is quality now in a deeper role and Clyne as solid as a rock at RB. Lovren, and Origi will make for good depth and cover when we need to expand the squad for Europe. Who knows, Klopp may go out and buy fatty Carroll back given he is apparently "100% better" now at off ham. :lol

We aren't even firing on all cylinders yet. Götze was out, Reus still being managed after long injury lay off and the team is still gelling. Heaps of really young guys like Pulisic, Dembele and Mor finding their feet. The result was massive as it was away. Only caught a few bits and pieces but world class teams playing each other in UCL is what ultimately got me into this football. Stuff me it was fast and clinical.
If you don't know much about Pulisic then look him up if you get the chance. He's turning into a jet for us and will carry the USA side for the next decade. I know Australia has some solid youth coming through but it would be awesome to unearth a gem like him.
-
yep, thats what makes it all the more impressive, think dortmund are building into the season and havent anywhere near peaked. Yeah I know Pulisic, it's been reported plenty of times that Klopp's been keeping tabs on him - good luck trying to pry him away from dortmund ;D

Wenger got a two year extension :lol :rollin surely the fans are going to set fire to the joint.
Not that Dortmund are that stupid but at least he won't available to fill our position. I thought maybe that's where Tuchel was going, will be a backwards step for him if he stays in the Bundesliga now since leaving Dortmund after winning the DFB Pokal.

haha arsenal tv should be going off
why did dortmund fire Tuchel?? I thought he did very well given he was giving the young players plenty of game time

Aaron Mooy about to get a slice of this. Currently back at Man City after on loan helping Huddersfield get promoted. 12 EPL clubs chasing him apparently.

Rumour has it he didn't get along will some of the back office, some other rumours about the players struggling to have a relationship with him because of his typical cold, german personality. Whatever it was apparently it was mutual. I remember reading earlier in the season that Real Madrid were sounding him out, and then he was a front runner for Arsenal job. We brought in some really topshelf youth and hope that isn't affected with a regime change. In his two seasons with such a young squad he managed: one league runner up, two UCL qualifications, UEL semi final, UCL quarter final, one domestic cup runner up and one domestic cup win. Total record at Dortmund was 68-23-17. That's nothing to sneeze at in one or Europe's top leagues. Now we head into a tricky off season trying to find a new manager while handling the likely sale of Aubameyang and getting in new players. What poos me is we'll never catch Bayern like this. While they're going through top class managers like Pep and Ancelotti we can't even hold on to ones like Tuchel.

First weekend of the new EPL season.
Burnley knocked off Chelsea, Liverpool held 3-3 by Watford, while Rooney scored on his return to Everton.
Mooy played his part in Huddersfield 3-0 win over Palace. Set up the first two goals (from a corner & then a cross).
-
Lacazette paying off already for Arsenal. I was really hoping we would make a play for him. I saw it coming, Tuchel leaving and the band is breaking up. Dembele and Mor about to leave if they haven't already and Aubameyang will most likely be gone one of the next two windows. If the results don't go our way which I'm expecting under the new manager then I wouldn't be surprised if even Reus finally gives in to offers. Lacazette was the perfect fit and we had the money to outbid anyone.

Lucky to get a point. West Ham should have won that game if not for a dodgy offside call.
Liverpool's test will be more up against Man U. Games like this, against an archrival & when they need to respond to Man City's challenge, are hard fought and won by those teams that go onto to win a title.

What a bizarre game between Leeds and Aston Villa.
A Villa player went down injured. Most of the players stopped expecting Leeds to kick the ball out. However, one Leeds player decides otherwise and runs the ball up and kicks a goal from outside the box. Next thing there's an all-in and a Villa player is red carded. Leeds' captain feels guilty and after consulting with his manager decides to make the team play dead and let Villa kick a goal to even up the score again.

Spurs can thank the Gunners and ManU both choking overnight for securing their CL spot. Very lucky after their two red card implosion loss to Bournemouth.
At the other end of the table, Cardiff relegated along with Fulham and Huddersfield. So Mat Ryan's Brighton survived the drop. Not sure what Aaron Mooy will do with Huddersfield going down.
Norwich and Sheffield Utd will play EPL next season. The remaining promotion spot is down to Leeds, WBA, Villa or Derby.

All English finals in the both the CL and Europa.
As for choking - Ajax was worst. 3-0 up on aggregate in the second half at home then cough up 3 goals with the last coming in the final minute. What was with the Ajax defender kicking the ball away from his own goalie who was about to grab the ball on the ground that lead to Spurs second goal?! :huh

Thar's a one-off choke- Yids and Scouser Scum are both historical chokers....the final will be the loser-takes-all choking championship game..:shh

There have been some crazy games in the past week (last night's A-League semi-final was no different) so it won't be surprising if the CL final is as well. Liverpool is the better side and should win but I can see Spurs pinching this as they seem to choke more when they are the favourite and win when they are the underdog.

True they could choke again but last season there weren't so many poor teams. This season only Leicester, Man City & Chelsea are sides that could take points off Liverpool so it's going to make it harder for any of those other three to catch up. The rest of the EPL is very ordinary and that includes Man U & Arsenal.

https://www.sen.com.au/news/2019/12/07/postecoglou-makes-title-winning-history-in-japan/
South Melbourne are proud the greatest coach ever produced was produced out of SMFC. Postecoglou has learnt well. He had great SMFC coaches including Ferenc Puskas. Unfortunately he also became a victim of the Anti Ethnics Brigade which ran and run the A League. We are stuck with Graham Arnold now and we will suffer the inevitable consequences.
Australian Soccer is on the road to nowhere. In time I expect the sport to die. The racists are in charge and they have no commitement to unifying the sport.
-
They didn't like Ange because he was from Melbourne. The FFA is Sydney-centric. That's why Arnold's got the gig.
-
There is more to it than that. It goes far deeper.
Australias only chance is if FIFA first suspends
Straya from All international competitions and then sends in a FIFA Committee of Management to oversee football in Australia. They can reform a proper national league without the racist anglo saxon/celtics element being in charge immediately create a 14 team national competition and immediately introduce a 10 team Division 2 with promotion and relegation at its core. FIFA should pick the clubs selected in Division 1 and Division 2. Not people involved today in the A League who are no good for the game.
The 24 clubs must also involve themselves in a National Youth League again 14 teams in Division 1
And 10 teams in Division 2.
1st Division to be called
Australian Premier League
2nd Division to be called
Premier 2
New administrators with links to the game should also take charge
Peter Filopoulos has just taken over as CEO of FFV Victoria
Peter Abraam loves football and has served on football boards in the past.
Paul Trimbole can come on board as a technical director
Danny Moulis a really good previous director from Canberra who was shafted because he was canberra and theprevious mob wanted him out. A really quality individual.
-
FIFA would only pick clubs with the biggest brown paper bags :yep.
There's not enough money in the sport here for P/R. Relegation would kill clubs.
-
Theyd pick a more balanced league of teams where finally everyone who loves the game can feel part of it once more.
I did note you didnt say anything about a proper youth league. Its on of Lowys and FFAs major failures since 2004. Australia needs a soccer revolution but this time one based on inclusiveness
In 1977 the ethnics basically took over football with Lowy being a major character . They kept it that way until they brought in and gave teams like Perth Glory
Aidlaide United Carlton Newcastle Wollongong andchances. Canberra had also been given chances and failed. They were finally on the right path. They had also produced the golden generation of socceroos from the nsl
Names like Viduka Okon Zelic Bresciano Trimbole and many others.
Instead of taking a foundation with some merit to it
They took the bulldozer to it. Now we have no youth
Coming through, many of the thousands who used to follow clubs like South Melbourne Melbourne Knights Sydney United Adelaide City and others no longer support the code.
Today we have an irrelevant top division
that very few care about. Thousands and thousands of people who contributed to keeping the game alive in the face of adversity in the 60s 70s 80s and 90s who no longer support the code.
The only answer to soccers woes
Is inclusion. Until all the major clubs of history
And there supporters are properly invited back then the game will always be divided.
It will always fail unless people realise that everyone
has to be united. That wont happen so association football will never achieve what It may have done. Its a shame but people politics race religion and vested current interests in the a league wont allow it to happen. The A league will eventually die its already halfway there from what I can see. Its a shame but as i said before FIFA coming in with a non racial based system of governance is our only hope. The current people in the sport have many vested interests.
-
Those that ran the NSL and Soccer Australia didn't care about the game in the end. They sent it broke! Where were these "thousands" when crowds were pitiful. Sure South Melbourne were decent in size but most of the rest were park clubs in terms of their following. I'm sure Hellas supporters if South were in the A-League wouldn't care about other ethnic-based clubs like Marconi, Syd. Olympic, Melb. Knights and Preston Makedonia not being in it ;).
S.A. actually tried to create an "A-league" under the NSL banner to arrest the decline by bringing in non-ethnic clubs like Perth Glory, Adelaide Utd and Northern Spirit but to no avail as the original clubs would've change with the times. Self-interest and bickering amongst individuals back then and the existing NSL clubs killed off the comp. We also repeatedly failed to qualify for the World Cup even when playing against the likes of NZ, Israel, Scotland and Iran. The sport was on its knees. There needed to be change at the time. Hence the Crawford report.
One golden generation that didn't qualify under the NSL banner and only got one step past the group stage just once does not make a quality youth program. Players who are now 30 y.o. would've been up to 14 y.o. developing their fundamental skills in the final decade of the old NSL. They didn't follow that golden generation in terms of quality and quantity despite being under the same umbrella. We have a youth league now connected to the A-League clubs. That's not the issue. The youth issue is more complicated now days. Kids have far more choice. Whereas those from past generations would risk it all going to Europe to try and make their name in the best competitions (see Kewell & Cahill), nowdays young players can take the soft route and head off to the Middle East, China or even India and make plenty of money playing in lower standard leagues which hinder their overall development. Ethnics these days are also Asian, middle eastern and African. The heritage pull of Europe isn't there for them as it once was for sons of Euro migrants in the 70s/80s. Times have changed.
The problem with the game at the moment is within the FFA hierarchy. It's too Sydney-centric and so they based the sport's success or failure purely on the Wanderers successful entry in the A-League as well as the recent form of Sydney FC. They took it for granted and dropped the ball elsewhere in Australia and stopped promoting the HAL just as the BBL and a resurrected NBL has taken off in summer in recent years. The sniping and treatment of Ange because he was Melburnian was a disgrace; followed by stuffing up the Matildas' world cup chances by removing the coach just prior to it.
As the old saying goes, there's no need to look for (anti-ethnic) conspiracy theories when the incompetence is for all to see at the top of the admin of the sport. Thankfully the admin of the A-League is being separated from the FFA but that doesn't mean there doesn't still need to be change at the top of the FFA.
-
It's been hard fought but the Olyroos are into the semis of the U23 AFC Championship. One more win and they also qualify for the Olympics.

There has always been divisions in Aussie Soccer. "Old Soccer" was hardly united. Too much self-interest and a fail to reform brought about its own downfall. Out of the old ethnic NSL clubs only South would be big enough to survive in the A-League. Give another 20 years and most of "Old Soccer" will go the same way as say the VFA in Aussie Rules. It's like most SANFL clubs. There's an Aussie Rules support base in Adelaide that hate AFL (especially when the Crows suck lol) and only go to SANFL games but only one SANFL club in Port can support its own AFL club.
Soccer is too big to fail. It would have died off decades ago if that wasn't the case after the old "wogball" days and then the sport being sent broke in the late 90s/early 2000s by the old admin of Soccer Australia.
It's no different to basketball. High participation sport that rides on the following of the best overseas league(s) but popular mainstream support rises and falls on the back of the form of the national team and high profile Aussies playing the game OS. Basketball was in a far worse state 5 years ago (it was a shambles) due to the way the sport was (mal-)administrated in Australia but has totally turned things around. Gallop's 7-year reign of the FFA was terrible ::). Too Sydney-centric, internal disputes around our national coaches (the treatment of Ange was a disgrace), no promotion of the domestic game (especially outside of Sydney), and slow to react to a changing Aussie summer sporting landscape (with the intro of BBL & AFLW). Soccer is still suffering the effects of that. It can be turned around relatively quickly but it needs decisive leadership with initiative and clear direction within the FFA that doesn't think Australia ends at Picton.
Long live AFL Footy and the Tiges.
:thumbsup
ps. our Tiges being a perfect example of turning a basketcase organisation into a power on and off-field thanks to decisive leadership with initiative and a clear direction.

Has this farce called the A League gone bankrupt yet. We all told you guys years ago ...
No South No A League.
It took 15 years for it to crumble. Even Foxtel has walked away. A crap competition based on racism to keep out great clubs like South, a competition that never produced junior talent over 15 years, a competition that has led Australian soccer to a dead end. Just a disgraceful unmittigated disaster imposed by Lowys clowns that has destroyed the fabric of the game in Australia. The last 15 years has been the most
Diabolical period Australian soccer ever saw. The Joeys are no good to Socceroos are no good, the a league clubs lose millions every year, no TV coverage, the newspapers have turned their backs. Its all over red rover.
Its time for a new Superleague taking the best clubs and including great clubs like South Melbourne.

Football Federation Australia has announced a new ‘Starting XI’ advisory panel, headlined by former Socceroos captain Mark Viduka.
The panel consisting of Socceroos and Matildas legends will work alongside the FFA's Football Development Committee in focusing on technical issues within the sport.
Viduka, Josip Skoko, Clare Polkinghorne, Ron Smith, Mark Bosnich, Paul Okon, Frank Farina, Heather Garriock, Vicki Linton, Joey Peters, and Connie Selby are the ‘Starting XI's’ inaugural members.

THE Premier League is being offered an incredible Plan B escape route — to end the season in sunny Australian city Perth.
Agent Gary Williams’ eight-point proposal to the EPL:
* Fly all 20 squads to Perth. Airlines would be delighted with the custom and are available.
* Base them in their own hotels, with facilities, and isolate for up to a fortnight if they have to. Perth is currently in tourist ‘off season’ anyway.
* Play games at several top venues in the city, behind closed doors or even with a limited number of local fans.
* Slash the number of medical tests needed, possibly only two in total rather than the proposed twice a week.
* Remove the need for police to control closed venues in England when the games are played.
* End concerns about travel arrangements and hotel stays. The clubs would use the same bases, close to grounds, for the duration.
* Allow families to travel over towards the end of the campaign to give them a much-needed break in a safe environment.
* Easy for TV coverage, with various kick-off times to suit English schedules.
Perth has four major sporting venues that can be used — Optus Stadium (capacity 65,000), Perth Oval (20,500), cricket’s WACA (24,500) and Joondalup Arena (16,000).

What's going on with Liverpool? Playing like it's the 90s/00s. Right now you'd have United, City or Leicester winning it.

Leicester City will win it. No expectation. Nothing to lose. And theyve done it before. Liverpool are shot and Man U will pack their dacks towards the end.

Bizarre VAR red card in the West Ham vs Chelsea game. How can you get sent off for kicking the ball and an opponent running into your follow through? :huh3

Leicester City won the FA Cup. Cracking goal by Tieleman :o.
As much as wanted Leicester to win (they've never won a FA Cup), that Chelsea goal being overturned by VAR was ridiculous. That was level IMV yet because the attacker's shoulder on video replay was slightly in front of the defender they ruled it offside.

As much as I hate the Redshytes, ya gotta love it when the 'keeper scores - especially an injury time winner:

That would be a classy finish off the head of a striker let alone from a goalkeeper.
A massive winner too in terms of CL spots. If Chelsea fails again to Leicester then that opens the door for Liverpool to jump into the top 4.
-
After Liverpool's disastrous run with injuries, lucks a fortune & we have ended up 3rd & in the CL next season
A decent run of 8 wins & 2 draws in the last 10 games & helped by Chelsea & Leicester both choking overnight, we managed to finish just 5 point behind Manure in 2nd
Looking forward to 21/22 Season starting in August

Seemed Leicester was still partying over their FA Cup win. A poor last month by them in the League.
Good to see clubs other than the usual ones win a place in Europe. West Ham after a nervous last month deservedly finished 6th to win a place in Europa.
The last promotion spot for next year's EPL is down to Brentford and Swansea. Brentford hasn't be in the top flight since the end of WW2.

They might not last long in the EPL but great to see a club like Brentford win promotion after 74 years. They had their two oldest supporters in the stands who remember when they were last in the top flight.

They are now. Up into the top 4.
It's been a weird season though under the top 3. No one seems to want that last Champions League spot. This is about the sixth team that has held 4th in the past two months. They're all too inconsistent. As soon as they seem to get on a good run or beat one of the top 3, they stuff up and throw away points. The January window is going to be important for these sides to see who can fix the holes in their squad to grab 4th spot.

Ange gets a trophy from his first attempt. Geez Celtic fans love him now after the "who?" commentary when he was appointed. Rogic is back in good form too since Ange arrived.

Ange is officially god to Celtic fans after this morning. On their forum they are even wishing that Ange was their dad :lol. The only bad news for Celtic is if this keeps up then the big English clubs will soon come knocking to poach Ange. Imagine Ange at Man U or Arsenal.
ps. An indictment by the way on the so called current coaches of our national teams who are still back in the 80s/90s with their slow negative play and on those jealous idiots in Aussie soccer who drove Ange out of Australia ::).
-
No wonder Celtic are flying now. Ange's philosophy (Celtic training video from 6 months ago) is the way the modern game is meant to be played.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ6ISW1Ev1I
Ange deserves all the plaudits he is receiving now and it's great for his coaching career to manage a club like Celtic. However, what a loss to our national team when he was driven out by clueless idiots within Aussie soccer after the Socceroos qualified for the last World Cup :thumbsdown.

The VAR circus against Brentford was worse than the debacle we put up with in the final against Brisbane
Need to keep on winning now .. pressure is on
-
Man City dropped points at Forest. So, a bonus for the Gunners. Fortunately, Jorginho's screamer (unlucky goalkicker OG to be fair) made up for Odegaard missing a complete sitter. Arsenal just need to take the 3 points no matter how and move on to the next game.
-
Important point for the Hammers but Arsenal's last two draws has now opened the door for Man City. The title probably decided in ten days time in Manchester.
ps. It must have been the weekend for Yellow and Black teams stuffing up committing multiple brainfades :P. Dortmund 2-0 up against 10-man relegation-zone Stuttgart drew 3-3. How do you concede 3 goals in the last 20 mins against a bottom side who has less players on the pitch?! :facepalm

Arsenal and Richmond must be swapping notes at the moment on how to commit the dumbest brainfades that cost goals. Ramsdale overnight did a Balta against the Swans.

Yeah, cos Steven Gerrard did so brilliantly at Aston Villa after winning everything at Rangers. Love Scotland, but the league is a mickey mouse one. If you're Celtic manager it's a mini mouse league.
-
Agree Scotland is effectively a two team league but Gerrard only won one title in 3.5 years at Rangers. That's an ordinary return for any Old Firm manager. Not saying Ange should go to Chelsea but in less than 2 years at Celtic he's won 2 league titles, 2 league cups and is a chance to win the treble. Ange has had success wherever he has coached.
As for the EPL, Man City just too good. De Bruyne is a freak. In the other games, Liverpool lucky to get all 3 points in the end. Should have been a late penalty to West Ham.
-
Must be the season of Yellow and Black teams not converting their attacking chances onto the scoreboard :P. Dortmund just threw away the Bundesliga title on the last day once again to Bayern.

Been to quite a few games at Kenilworth Road. They don't make 'em like that anymore. One of the great stories - from non-league back to the big time inside a decade. I remember the chants when the league was rooting them over a barrel and handing out 30 point deductions to guarantee relegations:
30 points,
Who gives a f**k!
We're Luton Town
And we're staying up!
Up the hatters!

Ange's Spurs down 0-1 seven minutes into second half injury time came back to win 2-1 against Sheffield Utd thanks to 15 mins of injury time :o.
Hard to see anyone stopping Man City though :P.

The Gunners and Ange's Spurs drew 2-2 in the North London derby. Spurs coming behind to equalize twice.

Some crazy results overnight in the EPL. Wolves knocked over Man City, and then 9-man Liverpool concede a 6th-minute injury time own goal to send Ange's Spurs into second spot.
-
Liverpool were robbed,
That referee , who is BTW a Spurs supporter should never officiate again. Blatant cheating
And the VAR bloke ! no way was Diaz offside
-
Yep, it was the worst made-up wrong decision by a video reviewer since the ARC did a number on Lynch in last year's EF. The VAR is often just as bad as the ARC although with better cameras.
Clearly, Diaz was on-side: https://twitter.com/Chaddymus_Prime/status/1708187031757631874
I didn't have a problem with the first red card. It wouldn't have been a red back in my day when playing :oldguy otherwise I would've got sent off a few times :snidegrin, but these days they are red hot on any raised studs into the shins even if the intention was to go for the ball.
The second red was a combo of a first yellow that should've been only a free kick (Spurs player tripped on the chasing feet of Jota) and then Jota being a moron and needlessly getting a second yellow only a minute after getting the first one.
-
Ange has got Spurs to the top of the EPL table for the time being. Arsenal play Man City later tonight (early Monday morning).

Gunners win despite blatant cheating
Kovacic staying on the pitch was a disgrace

Should have got a straight red IMO for the first tackle where he went studs up into the back of the leg instead of pointing the toe.

Even if the first was yellow (I think it was red)
The second was DEFINITELY a yellow in its own right
Absolute joke
Corrupt pricks let Man City get away with cheating the system .. then this garbage on top
Can’t believe as a gooner I will say this , but detest City more than Spurs
-
Ange has Spurs top. Their best start to a season since they last won the league title in 1960-61. Not sure if they have the depth to stay top until May and win it, but you can't rule out any team managed by Ange.
-----
Ange Postecoglou has earned 23 points in his first nine Premier League games in charge of Tottenham (W7 D2), the most of any manager in their first nine games in the competition’s history. Impression.

Harry Kane scored a goal from inside Bayern's defensive half against poor old Darmstadt. Darmstadt's goalkeeper had a horrid day as Bayern won 8-0.

With West Ham knocking Arsenal out, the League Cup is wide open with no Man City or Spurs either. Liverpool is the only top 4 club left in it.
Quarter finals
Liverpool vs West Ham
Chelsea vs Newcastle
Everton vs Fulham
Port Vale vs Middlesbrough

Arsenal was screwed over by VAR. Two-handed push in the back on Gabriel plus the ball was over the sideline in the lead up.

I couldn't give half a crap about any form of soccer generally speaking
But
What the actual F was that?
Disgraceful
-
The goal Utd had chalked off was a joke too.
VAR is a disgrace. Soccer is much better off without it. Leave it at goal line technology and that’s it. The offside rule wasn’t brought in to penalise strikers for having their shoelace in an offside position and don’t get me started on the coin flip foul calls/reversals this stupid system has led to. Absolute kills the buzz in the stands and for home viewers not knowing whether they can truly celebrate a goal or not.
-
Man City's weekend.
Spurs' players the latest to learn the hard way that you can't go into tackles these days with studs up even if you get the ball. Either point your toes or say hello to an early shower.
-

Yep, Spurs are gonski now. Key injuries and now back-to-back losses.
Gunners up to second now. Although, it's going to be hard seeing anyone topple Man City for the title.

Man City are certainties
Great to see the yid skid in full effect

A can of worms has been opened up in the EPL.
Everton receive immediate 10-point Premier League deduction for financial rules breach
(https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/976/cpsprodpb/125BA/production/_131749157_table.jpg)
https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/67448714
What it means for Man City, Chelsea
Stefan Borson, a lawyer who has advised City, believes the decision sets an ominous precedent.
“10 points for Everton feels harsh for a straightforward FFP breach to me. But reinforces that sanctions against City (if proven) and now Chelsea (if charged and admitted on the off-books payments) will be potentially relegation inducing,” he tweeted.
Leeds, Leicester, Burnley to sue
The now 19th-ranked club is also facing legal threats from three other clubs.
Leeds and Leicester – who were relegated from the Premier League last season after Everton survived in 17th place by two points – and Burnley – which believes Everton’s spending breached financial rules the previous season when they were relegated – are reportedly joining forces to sue the Toffees.

Man City & Liverpool drawing sees the Gunners go top.

I can't remember the last time a player got a hattrick of off-side 'goals' (Son) lol. Sadly for Ange, Spurs have nothing below their first-choice 11 especially defensively. Mind you Villa are doing well this season. They are now into the top 4.
-
LMAO - they still lovin' Big Ange instead? :shh

Ooroo Tottenham
Thank goodness their chances only lasted a few weeks

Who would've thought Villa would be a contender :o. Mind you it one of those games where Arsenal couldn't put the ball into the back of the net and when they eventually did it was disallowed.
LOL at Man U losing 0-3 at home to Bournemouth. The team was booed off the pitch by their own fans. Ten Hag won't last much longer if that continues.
Meanwhile, Liverpool goes about its business and now the latest team on top. It's become a very open season. A race of four now.

Football’s lawmakers have recommended the trialling of sin bins in the professional game as part of a groundbreaking bid to clamp down on player misbehaviour.
Temporary dismissals of players for offences such as dissent and tactical fouls were backed by the International Football Association Board (IFAB) at its annual business meeting in London.

I can't think of a closer EPL season with as many teams still in the title hunt at Christmas. Man City didn't play but it could be that just 4 points separates the top 5. For the record, I don't see Spurs nor Villa winning it but the other 3 keeping dropping points to keep all 5 in it.
Hammers up to sixth, so Dio will be having a happy Xmas. Man U fans on social media with a mixture of part meltdown and part acceptance that they're now just a middle-of-the-road crap side is quite funny :lol.

That handball by Odegaard is a tough one. I'd say pen but VAR has totally and utterly ruined the handball rule that no one has a clue what it is anymore
https://twitter.com/markgoldbridge/status/1738619653616701864
He slipped so it wasn't deliberate handball, but I was still surprised it wasn't given a pen as I didn't think slipping over was an excuse. VAR is Russian roulette.
-
Not a good night for north London. Spurs have their obvious probs, but I'm scratching my head how you can have 30 shots and not score as Arsenal did. Liverpool must be rubbing their hands with glee. Opens the door also for Man City to go past everyone after their midseason slump.

Up The Irons Up Your Arseholenil :clapping

Man Utd fans in meltdown again after losing to Forest lol.

While I hope not, the title now looks like it's down to a two horse race - Liverpool or Man City.
Mind you this EPL season has been one of surprises so far. Hopefully I'm wrong and there's a few more plot twists to come.

Back in form

The Gunners have woken up again after that Xmas/NY slumber. Not just winning but thumping sides. Nice draw coming up too before facing Man City away on April 1. That could be the title decider.
-
Another 5-0 thumping by the Gunners last night and a bonus that Man City dropped points at home. Only two points off top now. It's a three horse race for the title.
-
Arsenal over the past six EPL games treating opponents as if they're playing FIFA. 25 goals scored to just 3 conceded :o.

First team in premier league history to score 2+ goals in 7 consecutive halves

Just one point now separating the top 3 with the Gunners on top on goal difference. April 1 when Arsenal travel to Man City.
Ange's Spurs would now be favourite for the 4th Champions League spot after their thumping of Villa.
-
Stalemate between City and Arsenal. Hardly a chance created by either side. Only winner out of it was Liverpool who go top.
