Both are pretty useless imo, Henderson has youth on his side though, but neither should be in a Liverpool shirt tbh. Carrol isn't so bad either, he's actually been playing alright after shaking off his injuries at the start of the season, he just needs to start scoring if he's to be taken seriously.

Football is crazy.

Some years ago Villareal with Pelegrini got to the Champions League semifinals. Yesterday They descended to the Second Division (and Villareal B has to descend too because they cant be in the same division).

They were in the Champions League this year, too. Crazy.

(A similar thing happened in France, too. AJ Auxerre was in the Champions League last year and just got relegated.)

Well in France four clubs that were champions in the late 90s/early 00s are now in second division (Monaco(97,00), Nantes(95,01), Lens(98) and Auxerre(96)).

I pay my respects to Del Piero as well, a great footballer.
I also bid farewell to Nesta, the greatest defender of his generation.

Man what a season this has been. If someone wrote a script about everything that has happened this season, people would think he had gone mad. We've had impossible goals, stunning comebacks, a tragic loss (Gary Speed) and Fabrice Muamba coming back from the dead.

I can't fucking believe Villareal have fallen down to Liga Adelante. They looked so strong going into the season. I haven't really kept an eye on Spain this year. Could anyone clue me in on how this collapse happened? Was Rossi's injury that devastating?

For sure. Both are legends. Glad Del Piero could go out with an Invincible run.

Yeh, that was a really worthy ending for Del Piero. Sad to see him go.

It was also cool how Pippo scored the winning goal for Milan, in his last game for them, yesterday.

as a united fan i have to say Congratulations to city..

It was bound to happen.. £1Billion pounds in 4 years should win you a title.. its sad to see your now a plaything for a sheik but well done on your title..

Lets see if you keep it up and lets hope your owner doesnt get bored otherwise thats the end of your club. (Ref portsmouth)

edit:

Also juve going unbeaten is an amazing feat.

FInancial problems.. had to sell Cazorla, no Rossi were the obvious reasons. Rossi alone wouldve done enough to keep them safe.

Went through coach after coach after coach all year. No stability and things to just keep spiralling sometimes. Especially when things like player motivation go terminal.. honestly alot of their games they werent terrible or anything they just didnt have any goals in them that was the main problem again going back to losing Rossi.

Falcao being a beast on the last day and dumping them out didnt help. It was pretty last minute stuff to just didnt get any fanfare.

Its probably the epitome of what financial mismanagement has been doing to many clubs in Spain. Unless your lucky enough like a Bilbao or a Betis to have your cheap/free incoming talent to fire you are always facing relegation..

after all there were only 15 points between third and the relegation zone on the last day 40 odd points in liga arent safe at the moment.

Not sure what else to say really, I think heart is a fantastic keeper and they clearly have the best team in the league but if you gave any team that amount of money and brought those players they would now be champions so even though they are the champions to me it doesn't feel quite right..

its like sticking a ford badge on a lambo and then winning a race where only fords can enter.. yes you won but really.. what did you expect?

if i was them i would be dissapointed it took this long.. 4 years lol


edit:

And before any city fans or other fans come on and have a go and say teams like united spend just as much well no team has spent 1 billlion in 4 years, Yes man utd have brought expensive players in the past and we still do.. but we are buying them with money earnt, from years of hard work and success, to me theres a difference

Well the point was there was really no need to say anything, a simple congratulation is all thats needed.

I dont see how you can whine about people employing a culture the league has helped to foster. If they were worried about it theyd have stopped it. Otherwise saying that stuff just sounds bitter. I dont like this way of winning either but im not going to say things like "plaything of the Sheikh". But I guess people cant help how they feel and they need to express it.

As for buying players you can afford. The debt situation says otherwise, but what do I know.



Apparantly buying beyond your means is ok as long as "you dont do it more than us". Thats what it sounds like to me.

Frankly the only one who can put his money where his mouth is on these issues is Wenger.

Its my honest thoughts, i think they are the best team, i am not bitter i just am looking at the entire picture, they should be the best team.. If anything they should have done better in europe! I personally am more impressed by swansea and wigan who have stayed up and played amazingly


Man utds debt is a discussion for another day,
Your owner took over a club and spent 1000 million.. our owners took over a club and saddled it with 700 million (now 500)of debt and we are working it off

Unlucky with injures, not only Rossi,

And their trainer is famous because he made fall twice to two teams (Deportivo and Real Sociedad) already.

Next team with Lotina as trainer will fall for sure :D
