Football

my jersey came in today....man its so nice.

(Y)

I've seen the new font on the back of the Real jersey...

I don't like it...

Real should have classy, elegant, classic font to reflect the image of the club and it's players.

Even if they were going for the whole "new look", I still think they could've selected another font. The font they use doesn't seem big enough

Maybe they realized that they have to take back.

After all they haven't win anything in the last 3 years!

BUMP for Chelsea 1-0 Milan

The final that should've happened...

I don't get what you mean with this.

We saw the final that should've happened.

/among these 3 teams/

It was the final that everyone wanted. Everyone was going for a Chelsea v Milan final (at least around where I live) once Barca was knocked out. Nobody seriouisly expected Liverpool to even beat Juve. But we did

Anyway, Tribal Football (unreliable as it may be) says Chelsea are opening talks with Sheva. I still think Milan shouldkeep Sheva.

Shevchenko + Gilardino

well i bought my real madrid jersey today

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Very good choice.

Unlucky Real I assume that Real won't gain great results this season.

why not?

Almost got tickets to LA Galaxy vs Real Madrid. Madrid won 2-0. Apparently, they were paid $6m to play the game...

Im really enjoying my Real Madrid jersey

why not?

Beacause this summer seems to be the worst trasfer window of Real Madrid since Perez became President.

Diogo and Garcia they are good players but not some huge reinforcement. This story with Robinio is becoming similar to Vieiera case. Real should make serious efforts to bring Ballack or Baptista to Santiago Bernabeu. The should't sell Walter Samuel leave, I hope they stop Figo from marching out to Inter.

Spurs are signing Davids!

Good move - just what this team needs. A bit of experience.

Tottanham is lucky.

I'm sad to see Davids in a relatively small team. He is a fantastic player and should be in a top team.

I think Tottenham is a mystery package this year, but they have signed a lot of young quality that should be the backbone of the team for years to come.

Aaron Lennon, Tom Huddlestone and Wayne Routledge are great signings. Add to that a midfield with Reid, Carrick, and Davids and a backline with Edman, Naybet, Parmarot and King. In between the sticks they have Paul Robinson and up fron they have talented strikers including Keane, Defoe, Mido and Kanoute. Not to mention they have young up and comers from their reserves.

Davids is great reinforcement and he'll definitely be good in the experience department and also as a ball winner in midfield. If the young ones can keep their performances up and not fold under pressure then I think they can come a fair way, possibly even 4th or 5th, but that's just me being optimistic.

As for Real, I'd have to agree that they have had a pretty bad transfer season. Letting Samuel go might not be the best idea, but he does seem a bit lost in La Liga. Their squad is aging and they'll need a complete overhaul in the next few years. Diogo and Garcia will add depth to their line-up (I think Madrid are learning that you can buy quality without having to pay insane amounts of money) but I personally think they should bring in at least a few other players e.g. Joaquin and Ballack. Also, they need another Centre back. Samuel hasn't played well and Woodgate hasn't played at all! All at a bargain for 25 and 13 mill quid respectively

which team do you support Nemo?

funny story, i was wearing my real madrid jersey today and walked in to buy my pizza and the guy at the counter was like, "Raul!" and the guy didnt know i have the authentic jersey and had Raul and the number 7 on the back....i thought it was funny.

What do you guys think about ManU's fate, future and the new owners?

I hear people already hate them very much and they have good reason to do so.

-Ticket prices will be up 40% within a few years.

-The money the team can spend will be decreased.

Real Madrid has bought Baptista. First good move this summer.

Avenger,

Manyoo's empire is already starting to crumble. In 5 years (hopefully less) they will be relegated and the Glazers will move back to America.

Form is temporary. Class is permanent.

No bias coming from my side of course

Socio,

They've confirmed Robinho as well now. So they have a great new generation of attackers, but I'm still curious about how they're going to play defensively? Unless of course they plan to have a team that can pin the opposition in their own half for 90 minutes. It seems Real's Board of Directors don't seem to understand the concept of defence

also, BUMP for Freddy Adu's "I love Chelsea" comment.

If I recall right, wasn't he the one praising Manyoo and saying that he would love to play for them and they were the best club in the world?

Now Manyoo are coming 3rd, he's jumped boat to Chelski?

Talk about loyalty and commitment. This guy is the very epitome of what's wrong with the game today.

Discuss.
