Football (Soccer For You Yanks) Season 2009/1010

[Bobbyjames]

off the tp of my head, I think it shuts the last day of August, or 1st of September. I do love the last day of the transfer window though, so much going on, late tranfers, and something surprising always happens!

[Emil]

Yeah, all european clubs have all august to loot swedish clubs of players and we can't replace them because the morons of the swedish FA decided to close the transfer window 31st july.

[Boni]

Dude, no SPL, I'm upset now, not really, SPL is quite shit it's either Rangers or Celtic, it's quite boring actually but I hear Celtic got gubbed at Home for the Champion League Qualifier.

[Bobbyjames]

haha, I didn't know if anyone hear followed the SPL so I didn't bother typing anything up for it! I sometimes follow it, though it does get kinda boring. in a way, I wouldn't mind seeing Rangers & Celtic in the English to see how they do, but I could see that killing the Scottish game a bit without the 2 big clubs there.

[Emil]

SPL is kind of boring. Celtic and Rangers only lose when the play against each other. BTW Liverpool-Celtic a couple of years ago was so awesome with the whole crowd singin YNWA togther.

Your completely right, that's why I just watch the Europe games they can be good at times.

[Bobbyjames]

yea, I tend to follow Ranger & Celtic in Europe, I dunno why but I like to see them do well! I'm hoping Celtic manage to win tonight and get through, though its looking unlikely

[Emil]

Celtic is fun to watch. The only reason i cared about them from the beginning was because of Henrik Larsson but now i've learned to like teams that plays well to. Despite all that my favourite swedish team is in the bottom of the league with one won game out of 18.

I've always followed Rangers when I was young cause of Ally McCoist in my eyes he was a legend but I don't really watch the game anymore, I'd rather play than see people play it. that's my problem.

[Emil]

It's always more fun to play than to watch someone else do it.

[Bobbyjames]

I'm different, I'd rather watch football than play it. But, I'd rather play rugby than watch rugby.

[Emil]

I never get the rules of rugby. To me it's like a more brutal version of american football (why?).

[Bobbyjames]

haha, at first glance it looks like that, I used to think that American Football was just rugby for pussies! once you kinda learn the rules for both games then you can really see the differences, and why American Footballers wear so much protection compared to rugby players

[Emil]

It's because Americans are pussies. The tough americans plays hockey and even there canadians kicks their ass. You take americas best handball player (yeah, i call it that cause that's what it is) and Englands best rugby players and they play american football without all that protection and we can see who wins first.

[Boni]

I don't know about the rules but the fact that in both games a player can get pilled onto by heavy men is quite brutal in my opinion. I think Rugby would be more fun than the american counterpart myself though.

It kind of reminds of Baseball and Rounders, the only real difference I know of is, hit or miss you still run to first base although it's quite difficult if you miss

[Emil]

What's rounders?

[Boni]

What's rounders?

It's a very old English sport that Baseball/softball was based on

fuck it, it's only pre-season friendlies, they don't mean anything!

but against THEM???????

I'm pretty surprised over it too. I wonder who Rafa is going to put as central midfielder now when Xabi is going to Real. Kind of excited about Zlatan's move to barca too. I wonder if he's gonna be as good as he was in Inter or if he's gonna suck like he does in the ational team.

dude he scored 25 goals playing with an italian team i'm sure with xavi and iniesta behind him he'll score even more

Yeah i think he'll be really succesful in Barca. It's just frustrating he never is as good in the national team.

looks like we have our replacement for Alonso already. though he's nowhere near as good as Alonso.
