Premier League

[RastaRocket]

Real actually doesn't have many players that can fill in for xabi

Khedira would be ideal. But he's hurt

Illaramendi is his likely replacement and is improving, but he's young and inexperienced..

When xabi was hurt to start the year, the team was horrid defensively. .. He's really a stable piece in that that midfield for this squad..

I do think Illaramendi had improved and is better suited to fill his position now than he was in sept/oct

Ya, but they still have (insert any of the other 10 players names here) on the pitch.

It's the strongest at the top without question, followed by the Bundesliga. Premier League is just more evenly matched throughout the entire league. Premier League has never been great when it comes to Champions League. It also reflects in the English national team.

wowowowow...i didnt see this coming...atletico is so good

 

[RastaRocket]

Bravo Atletico, bravo.

 

[jterrell]

gratz to AM.
Good game for sure.
Now we sit back and see if Courtois and Costa wear blue next year.

As to haters.. of course you are.
Thats what fans of terrible sides have left this late in a season.

 

[JBS]

hahahah...just speaking the truth...atletico is the better side

as a real madrid fan, atletico is not the side id prefer to face

Lol Liverpool is not a terrible side

jterrell doesn't know too much about soccer. Plus he can't separate from his fandom to speaking logically about the sport. That is why he rambles on about the International Champions Cup being real games instead of pre-season games and all the time calling it the Super Cup.

Good to see UEFA doing something to teams like City who think they can buy their way out of everything. I will not be surprised if Chelsea is one of the 7 teams not mentioned yet.

Chelsea will not be investigated. . Looks like you have to spend no more than you earn; Chelsea is in debt but may get out in time. Manchester City and PSG basically sponsor themselves in order to make it look like they bring in more revenue so they can outspend people. Chelsea planned ahead while City and PSG continued to spend like crazy. About time they try to do something to even the game out a little bit. Although some people argue these rules will favor big revenue clubs like Madrid.

Yeah I'm still not sure if FFP is good for the game or not.

The more I have been reading about it, the worse it looks. Sigh.

All I know is what City and PSG are doing is a disgrace.

 

[RastaRocket]

Right foot, left foot, finishing, skills... Kid has it all. Might be my favorite young player.

Schalke has some incredible young talents on their squad.

FFP is dumb, it's just like a way to keep the top historic teams with huge income up, so what if a rich dude wants to spend a lot of his own money making a team better? That's his prerogative

 

[JBS]

Nervous. Today might be the day. Need Everton to at least get a draw

 

[JBS]

Howard sucks. Both goals conceded looked soft to me. Make a save

To an extent. City abuse the system, and throw an excess amount of money at everything. Something needs to be done about teams like that, because they ruin the game. Over the last five seasons, City has spent £200 mil more than any other team in the league. It's stupid, and ruins the integrity of the game.
