Domestic football - spam version

[Miko]

I made one ages ago, but then migrated over here when Lee made this one, because it just made far more sense to post here.

So, Leighton Baines is the best English player then and Rooney is superior to Falcao. Yes, that seems right.

I am liking that the user comments spell out "tit"

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

I really wish they gave more of an insight as to how these numbers were decided. Saying 'analytics' sounds fancy, sciencey and smart... but c'mon.

365's article about Nani is quite funny too. What makes it even funnier, is a comment that someone posted saying that if Nani had joined Liverpool he would have had more success.

To be fair Baines is a cheat code in fantasy football with assists and goals as a defender.

Yeah, the fact that Falcao (sp?) isn't in the top 5 screams immediate bullshit. Leighton Baines is a beast though, I'd rate him as better than Ashley Cole for the first time in either of their careers.

That is funny. Although there is very little about Liverpool that isn't funny these days.

Always found Ribery to be horrendously overrated.

As much as I hate him, Arjen Robben leaves Ribery in the dust.

 

[Miko]

Really? Robben is good but. . . Well, we all have our own opinions.

 

[Барбоса]

In top form, as evidenced in the Champions League this year, Robben is far more dangerous and destructive. Granted, he is the typical temperamental Dutchmen who only hits top form when he wants to and is too frequently injured.

I just don't see what is so world class about Ribery. At all.

 

[Uncle Sam]

He's a world class prick.

 

[Барбоса]

A top level hypocrite too.

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

I've understood more of Robbens hype than Riberys.

You know which winger I wish I had seen more of at his peak? Andrei Kanchelskis. I had a few second hand videos from my cousin about Man United when I was growing up and he looked like a terror who counter-balanced Giggs' youthful pace too.


Oh yeh and there's some football on TV again for a little while starting again! Good old confederations cup!

Joe Fucking Kinnear?!

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

Ashley is quite the troll to the United fans isn't he?

 

[Lee]

Yes, yes he is.

 

[Loveless]

Joe Fucking Kinnear?!

My reaction exactly. This is the guy Ashley wants in charge of transfers? Are you fucking kidding me! The guy has been a complete irrelevance since the turn of the century. He's had 4 months of football management since he quit Forest in 2004.

This is fucking excellent

 

[a0161613]

It's a bizarre decision.

 

[Lee]

The thing is all the quotes have been by kinnear. Not one club official has said anything, the website's said nowt. All strange.

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

I'm gonna feel so sorry for Tahiti in their next 2 games. The presidents tweet after they scored the goal was amazing though.

 

[¡Roján!]

It's been said that Newcastle are looking to buy Leighton Beans.


Yes, I came back for that one joke.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

This Italy/Japan game is excellent.

 

[Alastor]

Kagawa is my new man crush after that game.

Neymar was superb for Brazil in the other game too.

 

[Lee]

Why's everyone so pissed about Poyet being sacked while he's punditing?

 

[a0161613]

I think Brighton have really let themselves down. It's all got to do with the timing from what I know of it.
