Soccer 2012-2013 3.0

Thread is old and busted, see thenew hotness over hurr.

================================================== ==============

Here we go again. Pool won today in a must win game - looked decent doing it as well.

Arsenal still stink but look to sign 53 year old Thierry Henry on loan this month. Why the fuck am I not surprised. Good news is, Ramsey is still starting. What a relief.

I missed the Spurs game because of the shitstorm that happened today.

Might as well I did. Not that interested in the Europa league anyway

OP needs more Nottingham Forest content tbh.

Currently languishing in 10th place on 29 points, 7 clubs are on 28/29 so it's hella tight in the middle of the pack. Lost the last two games including a pretty torrid display (or is it a torres display now?) against Hull at the weekend. Still, the club is in new owners hands with petrodollars or whatever behind them and they had faith to try a relatively young manager instead of going for an old past-it name. Wouldn't have minded Redknapp though

Henry's just milking Wenger for every cent he can get from the old man.

All German clubs advance to the next round, I can't decide what to watch...

groks · Dec 7, 2012

crossing fingers for borussia dortmund. i've been a fan of them for decades.

awfal · Dec 7, 2012

This current dortmund core is awesome.

Brando · Dec 7, 2012

They are which is why they need to sell Reus, Gotze and Lewandowski to LFC ASAP

Springbok · Dec 7, 2012

They are definitely a fun team to watch. I remember two seasons ago all the talk was of Gotze - now they have several other guys who could slot into most of the teams in Europe. Guess Kagawa wasn't that big a loss.

Celtic made it through to last 16

despite being utter fucking pish but at least we'll get a few ??? for our total annihilation in the next round

Brando · Dec 7, 2012

Gotze is still probably the most talented one though Reus is a close 2nd. Both can play on the wings or behind the striker with Reus actually able to play as a striker as well. If you believe the FM2013 rankings then their u21 team is even more stacked with some of them playing in that last CL game vs. ManC.

awfal · Dec 8, 2012

Reus has that arrogant, killer-instinct attitude that Ronaldo has as well; good thing to have for a goal scorer.

Lotta propaganda coming from the Arsenal side about "being a different team" and "turnings things around" today vs WBA. That should equate to a 1-1 draw, amite?

Springbok · Dec 8, 2012

Arsenal looked significantly better in attack today than they have for about 6 weeks now. Wilshere in particular was excellent. Cazorla - stay on your fucking feet son... aside from that horrific dive, he was very good as well. No Aaron Ramsey - but the team looked really fluid going forward. Coincidence? That mother fucker is the best defensive midfielder other teams have ever had. Poldi blew a great chance to make it 3 as well, but I'll cut him some slack.

All in all, still a long way to go - but I had almost forgotten how gratifying it is to win.

Brando · Dec 8, 2012

If it was Suarez that did that the internet would be ablaze, instead it's just another player diving and looking stupid :rollseyes:

No Ramsey = win!

Good win for the real Mighty Reds today, Burnley were put to the sword bouncing Forest up to just a point off the playoff places.

Manchester derby tomorrow, talk about a game where you can't decide who you want to lose the most!
