Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

seems both sides dived and cheated during the Arsenal match. First the first one you can't say the player was trying to dive out of the way as he did the usual scream in pain as if he had been hit and was in agony.

For the second Oxlaide-Chamberlain left his foot behind to make sure he fell over, then managed to scream, pivot and put his hand up before he had even hit the floor !

I know United do the same thing as do all sides because FIFA, FA etc let me get away with it. How can all the ex players that are high up sit there and watch that and not know it's all cheating

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

United have Carrick and Evans starting. This is going to be a bloodbath :(

Falcao scored 5 goals tonight, he has now scored more goals than Ronaldo this season. Whoever ends up buying him is going to be getting a seriously good player.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Sweet. L'Equipe is a good source. As much as a striker is needed though we need to address the inability to create chances. It could just be the lack of options up front meaning the midfielders do too much though.

Lionel Messi of Barcelona sets new goal-scoring record.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20661031

Is he the greatest ever?.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

But Diame has only been registered for one club this window. West Ham. Carroll can't move because he has been registered twice, Liverpool and West Ham but Diame was purchased well before the start of the season...

That said I don't see Arsenal or anyone else swooping in during the window. They'll want to see more sustained form.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Both him and Ronaldo are the two greatest players to ever play the game.

Pele scored about 600 competitive goals in Brazil, less than half of what he's claiming, noting he for whatever reason decided to add the other 600 goals from non competitive football (Wish I could do that, I've scored quite a few in 5-Aside)

International wise, you can yell Pele but he had the greatest Brazillian team of all time around him. Note that Ronaldo & Messi's International teams whilst good are both somewhat off the mark. It's like blasting Zlatan Ibrahimovic for being Swedish.

Both Messi and Ronaldo are faster, more accurate, more skillful and just all round better players than Pele.

Maybe it is unfair to compare them and judge like this giving the Era's of all these great players and because the likes of Pele never got a chance in today's game but it's simply the way it is. In 20 years there will likely be another bunch of players twice as good as Messi.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

I'd say O'Neill has 2 games left at most. He's walking a very thin line now. A loss tonight and who knows, could be gone in the morning. 2 wins in 23 Premier League games is appalling

I'd say Pardew would have likely been out by now too if he hadn't signed an 8 year deal.

Can't really blame Pardew for the boards inability to strengthen areas. We'll be signing away in January that's for sure but it's going to be too late if we fail to get results before then.

Turns out there is a clause in Demba Ba's contract for January.. Hilarious really when told in August that was it for a year now. £7.5m you'd think it was a guarantee that he'd be off but it's whether he want's to stay or leave that's key, also noting the cost of actually signing this guy is up nearer the £30 million mark after fee's and wage demands. Clubs buying also need to negotiate the same protection clauses Newcastle inserted in his contract with regards to the knee and so on, Something that was much easier to do with him being a free agent than it will be after he's scoring for fun. I hope he doesn't move but as long as there is a striker incoming then so be it. I'm more concerned about clubs taking notice of Hatem Ben Arfa.

Why isn't Mr Rodgers on the phone? Blowing 30 odd million is what Liverpool do best isn't it?
