Raziel Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Unites played all their kids/backups except for Evans and De Gea. Doesn't excuse losing to MK Dons, but big picture, its the League Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 A real shame the reds had to settle for a draw against such a shit team in the Premiership, but hopefully Sunderland pick their game up going forward to spare themselves any further embarrassment.

Ultimo The Great Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Exactly - they have European game to concentrate on anywa......................... oh right That's cold team 01 de Gea 36 Vermijl 41 James 28 Anderson 06 Evans 38 Keane 37 Janko 26 Kagawa 14 Hernández 19 Welbeck 22 Powell Alot of kids but still shouldn't be getting beat by MK Dons. At least it wises a few people up that it wasn't all down to Moyes last season. Van Gaal has a squad to build not just a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazlo Woodbine Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 None of the teams I´d have liked to go through to the CL-group stage made it. From what I could tell none of them really deserved it, albeit the Maribor goal had a pinball vibe to it. Celtic looked without rhythm for quite a lot of their match. Aalborg was just outclassed. Bratislava wasn´t creating much and got countered on at the end. I was a little surprised how the Celtic fans reacted with boos and jeers. Always thought they didn´t do that kind of stuff, although I could definetly see why they´d be frustrated today. Sorry for Celtic-brother Mag7. Hope your team will get a good EURO-league showing. It was obvious how much Celtic miss Scott Brown, Kayal is a similar type of player but he's half the player he was before he got injured a while back. Brown motivates the guys around him - usually by shouting at them - and drives them forward on the pitch. Nobody else in the squad does that, as far as I can see.

ReiseReise Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Barcelona contracted fullback Douglas from Sao Paolo. So the transfer ban is for the winter and summer 2015 window, right? I somehow thought it would be effective immediatly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Harms Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 So twitter is blowing up with Zigic to Arsenal rumours. Surely this is the funniest transfer rumour of the summer. Right? C'mon guys it's just a joke, right? Guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Edwin Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Milan is going deep in the EPL leftover bucket looking to possibly sign Torres or Soldado as a replacement for Balotelli. Abel Hernandez is apparently on the verge of signing with Hull. Also the never ending saga between Man United pursuing Arturo Vidal is still going... And Pato (Alexandre Pato!) received an offer from Torino and he turned them down... What's more surprising, at this point? Him receiving an offer or him turning down an offer?

Jiji Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Hernandez was a really promising youngster with Palermo years ago when we got Serie A footage in Canada. That was such a neat team to watch with that little bastard Miccoli doing crazy stuff nobody could predict, Cavani showing huge potential, Pastore creating from midfield, and Kjaer looking like the next Daniel Agger. They also had Balzaretti's hair. Good times. Also, I love ESPN's headline: "Have United overpaid for Di Maria?" Hmm, is this a serious question by somebody getting paid to write this shit? How anybody has any interest in Fernando Torres in the year 2014 is beyond belief. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I don't watch much of the Brazil league on GolTV but I was under the impression that Pato has struggled to even lock up a starting berth there since his return on any merit other than the reputation of being Pato. He's still only 24 or 25 so I can sort of understand why a club might think he's yet redeemable. Why he'd turn down the move, I don't know.

Guest Edwin Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 How anybody has any interest in Fernando Torres in the year 2014 is beyond belief. That sums up Milan currently. Pato is the football equivalent of Tracy McGrady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReiseReise Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Maybe he has a good money contract? With Neymar delaying his move to Barca for quite some time I was under the impression that the Brazilian League is a pretty decent payday as opposed to the mid- and late-nineties, where Brazilian bargains were moved to Europe to get the big money. Champions League sees Red Bull Salzburg getting eliminated after an 0-3 loss at Swedish champions Malmo FF. As a guy who calls Sweden his home away from home and a guy who is totally not cool with the European Red Bull teams (Leipzig in Germany and Salzburg in Austria), I´m definetly more happy about that result than about German representatives Leverkusen making light work of the Danish team from Kopenhamn. That was some good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChesterCopperpot Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 So the absolute bat shit game of the night was Ludogorets Razgrad (Blugaria) v Steaua Bucharest (Romania) in the CL qualifying. Game was tied with 2 minutes to go in extra time - when Ludogorets have their goalie sent off. Only problem is they have used all the subs - so the centre-back Cosmin Moti has to go in goal Onto the shootout - he scores the first penalty and saves two to send his team through to the CL for the first time ever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 The pots for today's CL draws: Pot One: Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Benfica, Atletico Madrid, Arsenal, Porto. Pot Two: Schalke, Dortmund, Juventus, Paris St-Germain, Basel, Shakhtar Donetsk, Manchester City, Zenit. Pot Three: Bayer Leverkusen, Olympiakos, CSKA Moscow, Ajax, Liverpool, Sporting Lisbon, Galatasaray, Athletic Bilbao Pot Four: Anderlecht, Roma, Apoel Nicosia, Bate Borisov, Ludogorets, Maribor, Monaco, Malmo I will laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh if we get a Real/PSG/Ajax/Roma group.

ReiseReise Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 People made fun of van Gaal for getting Dutchmen in numbers a couple of years ago. Now Guardiola is on a good way getting Spaniard after Spaniard into the Bundesliga. A weird transfer, albeit it is probably meant to be a workaround after all those injuries of players who are first choices or back ups in CM-positions. Also, Borussia Dortmunds seems to try and take back Shinji Kagawa who couldn´t really get a starting eleven spot at ManU. Might be the best choice for everyone involved, especially if you consinder Kagawa is still really young and worked incredibly well at Dortmund. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
