    Think Haden was called down by an assistant as Sark was going to get himself thrown out the game the way things were going. I have no faith in Kessler as a QB but a win is a win. As far as the selection committee, they already published a list for all members on who they are recused from...

    I think that has more to do with the respective Divisions and schedule than anything else in looking at how they calculate those odds. You put the Giants in the NFCN and they're odds drop close the 30th.

    Cutler could be All-Pro this year, the more I think about it the more I'm happy I don't have Sunday Ticket to force me to watch the atrocity that will be the Bears defense. Until the old hag kicks the bucket and the Bears are finally owned by someone that cares I just don't see anything ever...

    In a way I feel bad for England in that they have some good players but Hodgson is a total turd and Rooney is undroppable even though he just seems to be going on a downward slide at this point. I only watched the last 30 mins or so after the US game but as soon as Rooneh came off the team...

    USC - Stanford this weekend should be fun. Can't wait though the first games for each team were so laughable I don't really have a good idea how this is going to go.

    The Panthers will probably end up as one of the worst teams in the league this year, so yeah being ahead of the Bears in any list right now just makes that list pretty suspect. It's all going to come down to the D again this year, if the Bears can be even league average in that regards then...

    The only loan that keeps MI for life now is FHA as of last year. Conventional loans by law have an automatic point where the MI ends and it's outlined in your MI agreement signed with your loan docs at closing. The removal of your MI has nothing to do with your credit, it's solely a...

    I don't think there is much difference between the Chelsea and ManC squads, it's just splitting hairs really on what different flavor of goodness do you want. With that said to win the title you don't even need to take any points from either of them, we only took 3 out of 12 points last year...

    Next year? We're going to win it this year though Mourinho will probably have Matic do a studs to the knee challenge on Henderson again to make him play on 1 leg for 85 mins at the Bridge.

    I never said Falcao was shit as there is no way to know right now, if he went to LFC I would have said the same thing as nobody has really seen him play as he's barely moved around in the 2 Monaco games this year since his injury. That goes for any transfer, I haven't proclaimed Balotelli the...

    The guardian is saying he'll be the top wage earner at the club now at 265k though that contradicts their story last year when Rooney signed for 300k per week. And I don't give a shit what ManU spends, just pointing out the obvious that from the outside looking in it looks desperate and...

    Where is Blind going to play? DM? You're spending 26m for 8 months of Falcao and it changes nothing for the team. Blind leading the blind indeed.

    What players did we buy that are shit? I'll be amazed if ManU looks half as good as LFC did against City or even take a solitary point off Spuds who we made to look rank average. Keep deluding yourself though.

    Soccer 2014 - 2015

    Well we weren't that bad against City but as already noted the media has to make absolutes about every result. Anyway, comfortable as can be with a back line that has barely played together. Moreno is going to make the Shaw transfer look like an epic swindle by Southampton.

    Howard should have been sent off. Everton's D was horrible but Chelsea looks strong, they can be got at though. Was a great game to watch.

    What your saying makes no sense though. ManC went from pot 3 to 2 now, LFC from pot 1 to pot 3. PSG may move into pot 1 next year. Either the teams perform or they don't.

    Yeah, Chelsea are either the luckiest motherfuckers alive or the Gazprom connections are more truer than expected. The TV rules in regards to no 2 teams in the same group from a single country or no more than 2 teams in one side of the group setup are more of an issue than what Wanand is...

    How about you actually do something in Europe for once instead of crying about it? ManC has certainly spent enough money to have no complaints, you do better then you don't have this issue.

    The seeding is a 5 year average of how you've done in UEFA competitions. LFC was a Pot 1 team up until 2009, now we're pot 3 as we didn't even qualify for CL for 4 years. Pretty sure ManC was a pot 3 team last year as well. There certainly seem to be some redundancies in the matchups lately...

    Yeah, I certainly have no qualms with LFC's draw as it could have been a lot worse. Chelsea's is the biggest joke, in the last 10 years they've never had a tough group. Must be the Gazprom shit or something, ridiculous.

    Where's the celebration Springbok? Gutted out a tough 1-0 even though I think they got away with 2 penalties in the first half and Debuchy should have gotten a straight red for his shoulder into the guys face. This Bucharest v Ludogrets penalty kick was amazing, GK got sent off so an...

    Well they don't even have midfielders either so yeah, with the money spent they're going to have almost no choice but to play with 5-6 pure attackers and hope they can outscore everybody as they aren't going to stop anybody. Burnley is probably licking their chops for this weekend.

    I think a lot of it has to do with the British press and their need to generate sales and website clicks. 2 games of the season has been played, nobody knows anything yet aside from a general idea of who's good and who's not. Chelsea playing Burnley, fucking Burnely!, in the first game and the...

    CL Final - Di Maria had Khedira/Modric behind CL Semi Home - Had Alonso/Modric behind, Isco next to CL Semi Away - Had Alonso/Modric behind vs. Barca Home - Had Alonso/Modric behind So again he played almost consistently as a #10 in any game that meant anything. If you go Herrera/DiMaria...

    Do you have anything to back that up? I'd say no as even a cursory glance at RM's lineups in which he played last year showed 2 other CM's always sitting deeper than him. 4-0 loss to MK Dons, I'm sure there will be plenty of excuses but dear god.....

    FV is in every fucking game now, I swear. I'm still enjoying the game but solo que is such a crap shoot, last night someone insisted on going Brood middle vs. Razor because he saw it on youtube. This morning I had a jugg carry go 1-15 with just phase boots by 30mins. I just have to laugh now...

    Meh, it's a stretch to think Suarez would have changed anything in the game. We were setup well and certainly created more than City, just individual mistakes get punished at this level which our defenders made and City didn't until that one at the end where Lambert should have just shot. I'm...

    The defending wasn't terrible until the 3rd goal which was just no pressure on the ball to allow that type of pass, Aguero will beat any CB to that type of ball so you need to not allow for the pass in the first place. Goals one and two are just individual issues, especially the 2nd where the...

    I'm hoping for a win but expecting a draw. Should be a good game regardless can't wait, leaving work to go watch it. Balotelli confirmed, still pretty amazed. Unfortunately can't play today but next week against Spuds should be interesting.

    Soccer 2014 - 2015

    Di Maria didn't play at the base of midfield for RM, he played either as a 10 linking the attack or a winger so again you're going to have to sit someone and a 4-3-3 doesn't fit the personal at all. The youths played a 3-5-2 vs. LFC u21's as well so I have no idea what you're talking about in...

    Soccer 2014 - 2015

    No matter how good Di Maria is the signing itself makes absolutely no sense unless LvG is already going to trash the 3-5-2 or he's going to sit one of Mata/Rooney when RvP is fit. I guess he could turn him into a wing back but for the amount of money they're about to spend that would be...

    Nice fight back by Arse but I'd blame Everton more than credit Arse for the draw, they had it all in their hands and just went into a shell. Ozil was woeful.
  38. Brando

    Soccer 2014 - 2015

    Maybe Arse will turn this around but they look like last year and will get the shit bullied out of them by the other top sides. Better hope they win all the games vs. teams 8-20 or just getting 4th will be a struggle again.
