2008 - 2009 World Football Thread (EPL, Serie A, Bundesliga etc)

United were total shite last night and they weren't in the game at
all.Both goals were from poor defending - I guess Man U played one
game too many.

But full credit to Barca though they deserved the cup

2006: Arsenal 1 - Barcelona 2
2009: Barcelona 2 - Man Utd 0
69 : Barcelona does 69 with English teams in Champions League! LOL

If Arsenal had 11 players that night in 2006, you wouldn't be gloating, thank you very much...

Also I recall Chelski had Barcelona in their back pocket and were seconds away from making 2009 an all-English final...

And as I recall in 2008, it was Man Utd 1-0 Barcelona (Agg: 1-0) - where was the mighty Barça then hmmm.....?

Cup Final Day today.I think Rangers will easily beat the Bairns of Falkirk and
I would love Everton to beat Chelsea.But if Anelka continues his good form
then it will be a cup for Hiddink

 

[jumbo_jim]

In FA Cup final Chelsea beat Everton 2-1. All cracking goals
In Scottish Cup final Rangers mug Falkirk 1-0 with a screamer from Nacho Novo.

Also in French League someone other than Lyon won the league for the first time in 8 years. It was Bordeaux.

When does the transfer madness begin? Something tells me this will be an epic summer for player moves....I'm already intrigued by Diego to Juventus....

 

[jumbo_jim]

The madness will probably kick in about the start of July and it is going to be interesting to see what happens.
Already a few deal done. Diego for about £22 million to Juventus and Gomez from Stuttgart to Bayern for reported £25 million.

Is Ronaldo off to Real Madrid? I read some Bayern exec said Ribery was worth $100mil. If that's true--is Ronaldo worth $200???

 

[jumbo_jim]

If Ronaldo leaves Man United will get about £80 million but I can't see it happening he goes missing in big games far to often.

I would agree with that.He does it with the national side as well so
it must be him.

I think there maybe some managerial movements happening in the UK this
summer but as for big signings,I think it might be a quiet pre-season.

 

[megamega]

I say: Barcelona wins 2-0 with goals by Eto'o and Messi.

...

Woah. Are you from the future?

dominating the game, watch it and Man u were lucky as hell to ge through, a mistake from zambrotta and Man U through. But it was probably for the best as Barca revised themselves and turned themselves into the X-men.

Transfer madness has started

Kaka to Real Madrid for 65 Million Euros

:eek: Is that confirmed?

anchelotti officially boss of chelsea 50 million to spend 3 year deal lets buy ribery

Skysports *intimated* that Ancelotti had his eyes on Adebayor. I don't think Le Professeur would ever sell a starter to a league rival. Would he? Even for 20mil?

I guess Ancelotti isn't a Drogba fan. Drogba wants to go to Inter.

Arsenal need 2 Central Defenders. If Arsenal sell off Adebayor for 20million--which defenders should they target? Gallas might not heal, Silvestre is washed up. We're supposed to get Senderos back from his loan but he's too slow...

 

[jumbo_jim]

Arsenal are supposed to be looking at Sakho from PSG. A big strong quick centre half.
If they get a decent offer for Adebayor they should take it as he isn't that good.

 

[tartanterrier]

Barry goes to Man City for £12 Million.Him and Ireland should make a good
pair for next season.

 

[jumbo_jim]

With Man City signing Barry, this most likely means he will play alongside De Jong in Centre Mid allowing Ireland, Robinho and another winger to attack. This means that Kompany will most likely go back into his natural position of Centre Half.

Will be interesting to see who else Man City sign this summer.

Tevez's agent/puppetmaster seems to be naming ManCity as the favorite to get Tevez...

It looks like that Kaka to Real story seems legit afterall....how will they be able to afford both Kaka and Ronaldo??
