Posted: 8/18/2009 6:44:59 AM | Pissed off about Aquilani going to Liverpool?
If Liverpool can keep him healthy he will be a gun for the national team.
Thats if Lippi picks him.
He seems to have lost the plot lately.
Cheers

Cant say I'm entirely dissatisfied with how that turned out. Yes, it's always sad to lose one of the 'homegrown' players and and it really does eat away at your insides when that player is someone like Aquilani, who'd always been lauded as the "next big promise" for Italian football, since he was like...19. Unfortunately at the age of 25, when you look back at it, you can see that he hasn't been all that he has hyped up to be. Yes, I know, the injuries played a huge part in that, but for all his wage related tantrums, you would have expected the guy to have more favorable stats to show. Anyway I personally am happy for him that he'll finally get to ply his trade in a wonderful club like Liverpool, which would also, no doubt, provide him with a better medical staff. I really can't find it in my heart to blame him for accepting the move, for many a reason, chief of which would be the dire straits the finances of the club is in. Secondly the medical staff at Roma did not do him any favors by downplaying his injury and telling him that was he 'game ready', when in really wasnt. I hope he does really well in Pool and thus gives Lippi a wake up call of sorts.
As for Lippi, tell me about it. The guy still seems to be stuck in 2006. The 06 squad is on their last legs, except for people like Grosso, who still seem to be just as good (Yes, even Pirlo has lost a yard of pace). Oh and I wish he'd also stop giving clowns like Pepe and Monto' any more tryouts. They've had their chances and they don;t make the cut. It's as simple as that. The worst part is that it's not that the talent pool is lacking or anything either. Guys like Gio, Gamberini, Balotelli, Santon, Rossi and many others would take the ball and run with it, if given a chance. Sadly Lippi still seems more content finding out as to how much of WC 06 he can take with him to South Africa. Oh and another big crime on Lippi's part; the continued exclusion of Cassano. The guy has recently shown that he's put his bad boy phase behind him and is trying hard at being a consummate professional. There's also no doubting his talent. I just wish Lippi would patch things up with him already. La Nazionale needs a fantastita to plug that hole which emerged from Totti's exit and Cassano is the man for the job.
End of Rant. | |

Posted: 10/21/2009 5:22:03 PM | I am not english and never been like crazy fan but I used to like Arsenal, Manchester united, Liverpool many years ago (Berkamp, Canto, Best earlier ....) I am a bit disgusted about the business that turns around. What a shame our sport is managed by some ****ing business men who makes the rules and would make playing robot instead of players ... if they could.
Football changes, their fans too unfortunately , footix attitude , stadiums too, Highbury come back !!! how their fans can support that ! well I am probably getting old !
However I am still wishing good luck to Liverpool in champ. league, I still like the Barca and I fancy south american football.
Being french I love Bordeaux , my home team (ligue 2) and support Lyon only between september and january every year like a footix in Champ league. | |

Posted: 10/21/2009 7:41:13 PM | I would just like to say that Man United may have been taken over but we have not been moved, changed in anyway. Chelsea and Liverpool have both changed there badges in recent years, Liverpool's not really that much, but Chelsea have changed theirs significantly and loose a bit of history with that. We have stayed at Old Trafford and built it higher, we have bought or nurtured good English(or home nation) players such as Welbeck, Evans, Gibson, Foster. We also have a core of English players in our team(Who when fully fit are the main players in the squad): Rooney, Neville, Scholes, Carrick, Rio, Brown, Owen, Hargreaves.
Liverpool have sold out English players under Benitez and bought Spanish kids. Chelsea have done the same but have developed a few kids or bought them...or stole them from Leeds.
Arsenal have always been a French academy since Wenger took over.
Of the 'Big four' Man United are the only ones who under the new rules could field their current starting 11(Main players over last season and the start of this season) and be within the rules.
I do understand your point of foreign ownership, but I have no complaints with the Glazers and neither should any United fan. Since they took over in 2005, we have signed at least one major player a year. 2005(Van Der Sar and Park) 2006 (Vidic, Evra, Carrick) 2007 (Tevez, Hargreaves, Nani, Anderson) 2008 (Berbatov) 2009 (Owen, Valencia) | |
