were adebayor and defoe both playing high as a 2? could bolton have played 3-5-2?
― Chris, Sunday, 4 December 2011 00:56 (twelve years ago) link

― Sad Banter (p much resigned to deems), Sunday, 4 December 2011 01:26 (twelve years ago) link

Lennon is england lw material on current form, we're a joy to watch atm but aren't putting them away and we're struggling a little when teams pack the defence.

Romanian club Poli Timisoara's owner Marian Iancu says his 10-year sentence for money-laundering and tax evasion is a "gross miscarriage"......Iancu's previous best sanction: 2010 – fined £3,000 for calling Universitatea Craiova's Victor Piturca "a homosexual satanist" on live TV. Piturca called Iancu a "fat Gypsy" who likes to "stay in bed and eat 50 pies and 25 sandwiches". Iancu: "My fine is unjust. It's a total lack of respect."

r.i.p socrates, brazil '82 possibly my favourite international team ever (although I have high hopes for Germany '12)

Oh man, poor Socrates. Undoubtedly the coolest footballer there ever was.

The conclusion to the Brazilian championship is tonight, incidentally. Corinthians lead Vasco da Gama by two points with equal goal difference, and both have local derbies - Corinthians play Palmeiras, Vasco play Flamengo. Should be worth watching, I think kickoffs are 7pm.

In his early days there, he was notably unwilling to join in the wild celebrations of his team-mates when he scored a goal (of which there were 172 over the course of 297 matches); so much so that the fans complained to the club president. He, in turn, begged Sócrates to be more demonstrative, and Sócrates obliged, in future, with parodic celebrations, kneeling on the ground, throwing up his arms and invoking success from whatever gods there might be.

"England is too cold for Brazilian footballers," Socrates said. "It doesn't matter how talented the players are, the culture is so different so it does not surprise me when Brazilian players do not do as well as they should - though I hear there are now Brazilian restaurants in Manchester.
"The way of life is so correct and organised in Europe. It's not like that in Brazil, where things are more spontaneous. I was in Florence for a year with Fiorentina and sometimes I didn't want to train, but to hang out with friends, party or have a smoke. There's more to life than football, but Europe can be very regimented."

Fiorentina - Roma sounded like a laugh. Roma ended up with 8 men with Bojan handballing on the line at 2-0 down. The poor lamb.
― Number None, Sunday, 4 December 2011 16:00 (twelve years ago) link
wait, so they were down to 9, 2-0 down and bojan thought he'd stop a goal cos the comeback was still on? That's the spirit!
― pandemic, Sunday, 4 December 2011 16:18 (twelve years ago) link
yeah but tbh it looked like it wouldn't have gone in anyway, think he just wanted to get out of facing juventus next week.
― sonderangerbot, Sunday, 4 December 2011 16:37 (twelve years ago) link
Handball on the line wouldn't've gone in? What direction was it coming from?!

Both hands!!Loathe as I am to agree with a BBC m-b-m contributor, but Everton really could do with Anelka in January.

Chief football writer Phil McNulty at Molineux: "Barely a flicker from Martin O'Neill high in the Molineux stand but he will have been delighted by the sweeping counter attack at pace and goal from Kieran Richardson. Just how he likes it. Growing unease among the Wolves fans."
― nakhchivan, Sunday, 4 December 2011 17:26 (twelve years ago) link
has o'neill got a reputation for liking sweeping counter attack football? Thought most top managers hated it.
