Arsenal tend to play some of the best football in the Premiership, but unfortunately that doesn't necessarily win you trophies.

Ajax dropped their trophy off a bus too

Cristiano Ronaldo - 38 goals in La Liga

Just read somewhere he was supposed to be at 39! Now, to take the BREAK the record for highest scoring La Liga player ever would be... extra special. C'mon Ronny, you can do it!

[Slimm]

So what do you brits think about Luis Suarez? I heard he's doing good over there?

[Sla]

I used to hate Juventus back in the days, nowadays I'm just laughing my ass off about them.

Eh, you shouldn't really lol For a team that was deprived of almost all their world class players, millions of dollars and an unfathomable amount of respect - you can't really expect too much from them.

I didn't expect much from them, I'm happy about their situation. They cheated for many years, they received what they deserved (wait, they even deserved more). They will never ever be as strong as in the past. They are like Liverpool, and that's probably still a big compliment, they handled to win the Champions League at least.

Right everyone, nail your relegation predictions to the mast:


16:00 Man Utd 2 vs 2 Blackpool

16:00 Stoke 0 vs 1 Wigan

16:00 Tottenham 2 vs 0 Birmingham

16:00 Wolverhampton 1 vs 2 Blackburn


18th: Blackpool (relegated on goal difference)
19th: Birmingham
20th West Ham

Hope Blackpool stay up but just think other results will mean they require a win.

16:00 Man Utd 1 vs 2 Blackpool

16:00 Tottenham 3 vs 1 Birmingham

16:00 Wolverhampton 1 vs 1 Blackburn


18th: Wigan
19th: Birmingham
20th West Ham

Who honestly isnt hoping for Blackpool to stay up?

Ha, are you kidding? There was actually no concrete evidence whatsoever to prove Juventus' involvement in cheating. Learn Calciopoli before stating such idiocy.

Right, Saddam Hussein was innocent too. Just shut up, you know nothing about Italian football. Really dumb thinking Juve was punished in that way for nothing.

[Unscarred]

Haha tell him Menzo

Great goals by Tevez today, sadly now he has 20 goals, same amount as Berba. The last round will be interesting. Btw this thing is happening for third year in a row, last game to decide the top scorer, i mean two players were awlays' have been so close at the end.

2009 Ronaldo vs Anelka
2010 Rooney vs Drogba
2011 Berba vs Tevez?

Difference is, there was evidence behind Saddam's inhumane ways

I know more about Italian football than you know about your own pathetic, sad excuse of a life.

There is so much evidence pointing towards Inter. You really think that the courts would rule THAT quickly against Italy's strongest club? In a span of months, they were diminished to near nothingness. It was an inside job.

There were "phone calls" made by Juventus officials regarding game rigging - however - it was never brought to the court's case. JUST MENTIONED. MEANWHILE in the past year, it was found that it was in fact Inter that had organizational phone calls made for their advantage.

Things like, "Bring this gift to referee ___________, we have a few hard matches ahead of us, we need to make way" (paraphrased). Inter president Massimo Moratti is a fuckin rat and you can see it on his face. The guy went to an Inter game the day or day after his dad died. A remorseless fucktard, he is.

Not to mention Inter threatened both players and referees from speaking out to the public. Christian Vieri, the world's best striker at the turn of the millennium, has come out and spoken about Inter's mischievous match fixing/career threatening ways.

Let's not forget that the 2005 and 2006 Scudetti were stripped from Juventus' trophy case, one of which was GIVEN to Inter and the other one annulled from existence. Also giving one of Juve's best players - Ibrahimovic - to them (but he's a fuckin snake anyways). LOL Who the fuck can justify such blasphemous actions?

Oh, and the sweetest part of all? The telephone company that "tapped" the Juventus phone calls...is owned by Inter

I'm saying all this going off of information I've not read about in about a year, so if I am to dedicate 2 hours to researching and refreshing my mind about this shit again, I'll bury you twice.


By the way, there was like 10 or 11 current/ex Juventus players participating in the World Cup 2006 final - the year that you (hopefully) know Calciopoli broke onto the scene. That's nearly an entire starting XI. Yeah, with 10-11 World Cup finalists in your squad, you DEFINITELY need referee intervention.

Fuck outta here.

I'm not going to argue too much with you, you aren't objective, I don't want to lose my time. There aren't many evidences cause private cellphone cards were used for the important things, which weren't intercepted. There was still no need of a clear evidence, it was obvious enough with the material already gained. They acted like a mafia organisation. Inter Milan had truly a big role in all of this, they always suspected something wasn't right on Italian football. So they started investigating a bit, and proved at the end to be right. They cheated by themselves? Not really, just a bit, like every other team did. Juve just exagerated. They wanted to control the whole system, to influence everything.

But they were fucked up hardly, the biggest revenge in football history was done. I'm not saying, I hope they burn in hell for this shit, but at least I don't want to see them win the national title again for the next 20 years. Right now they are just an embarassing team, for the second year they won't play the Champions League. They are years behind, the gap to Inter and AC Milan is too big, with luck they could compete with Roma, Napoli, Lazio, Palermo. With a lot of luck. They are just fucking losers nowadays, and I'm loving it.

Inter is just such a pathetic club, i just can't sit and watch a whole game of em. They have no style, and their tifosis are just so dumb.

Basically, it's an italian football club. But when Inter won the champions league, there was only ONE italian player on the field. It's just a random fact, though.

I'm just so glad AC milan won this year and hopefully next year it will be something like that:

AC MILAN
Juventus
Roma
Lazio
Fucking Inter

[Trimss]

^ Ac Milan is my favorite team since i'm a kid.

Eh, you should watch the likes of Udinese, Napoli, Palermo and AC Milan more often.

For the most part, I agree. However, I was rooting for Inter in the final last year.

Do you watch a lot of Italian football? The reason I ask is because I wanted to know what you think about Alexis Sanchez from Udinese. City have been linked with him, is he good?

[Sla]

OMG!!! Arsenal are 4th now!!

Yeah, 1 more game to play, hopefully City will resist!


By the way, Porto won the Europe League today, 1:0 against Braga.

[Trimss]

@Menzo, i was kinda sad when i saw the news because Pirlo was one of my favorite player ever, and i'm not really upset about him going with Juventus. I'd rather see him play there than with Inter or something like that, and I think pirlo is really underrated.

He's the kind of player that can change a match, he can have that spark and just shoot from 30/35 meters and still score. Just like in that link, his goal is just incredible, i don't know how many players can do that. I really hope he'll make a great job there

Well it happens yeah, but I don't think Del Piero will ever quit his club, i think he's going to do like Maldini did with Milan and stay there his whole career there.

(btw Maldini is awesome, 902 matchs with AC Milan..)
