itt liverpool not winning things; sandbox i love football

I've been meaning to learn more about Mexican footy for a while, because it's an absolute black hole as far as Britain is concerned, other than Hugo Sanchez and the recent few EPL imports I guess. I couldn't even've told you they did the apertura/clausura thing.

Meantime, predictions for tonight? 1-2 I reckon, City hanging on a bit for the win. Hopefully via a JT screw-up for which he volubly blames Luiz.

following/learning about the primera is hard even in the USA if you're a non-Spanish speaker. I constantly have to go to my Mexican-American friends to explain things. Goal.com has some good English coverage.

I was actually watching the final w/ one Irish-American and one English expat, huge footy fans both, and they both agreed that Mexico is ripe for plundering as far as cheap quality signings goes. it's definitely a moneyed league but not one that is above selling.

Only just turned the match on - has there been an awkward conversation with Neville about AVB and those Luiz comments?

Lol.

Chelsea: Cech, Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Terry, Cole, Ramires, Romeu, Meireles, Sturridge, Drogba, Mata. Subs: Turnbull, Lampard, Torres, Mikel, Malouda, Ferreira, Kalou.
Man City: Hart, Zabaleta, Lescott, Kompany, Clichy, Milner, Toure Yaya, Barry, Silva, Aguero, Balotelli. Subs: Pantilimon, Dzeko, Johnson, Savic, Nasri, Toure, De Jong.
Referee: Mark Clattenburg (Tyne & Wear)

Lolz not even on the bench? Going for a home win. Also predict it will be dull but as I'm gonna watch it, I hope I'm wrong on this one.

beautiful.

'as good as messi?' lol sky

*redacted* on a football thread makes me assume that dizzy is up to something he's gonna need a lawyer and a media team to deal with

heh no just a house sans siblings for a change tbph

By 10 'o'clock this evening, Manchester City could lead Chelsea by 13 points in the Premier League. It's worth dwelling on that – 13 points. On 12 December last season, the then Premier League leaders Manchester United had put 13 points between themselves and Birmingham, who were 16th.

Goodness.

and Utd were still unbeaten, too

Too cool

LOOL I missed it.

worth not redacting for

ice cold where's alex

damn when i heard terry complaining about 'effin kun' i thought

'daniel was released by manchester city as a youngster' uhm yeah 60k pw helped u imagine

he was otm

damn kun

Chelsea are an absolute shambles at the back

sturridge was released by city?

i was otm about him in that thread obv

the one abt him being the best player at the time he joined the epl, not the one abt him being better than rooney

I kinda wish this game was dull. I am too headachy for 100 mile a minute type stuff.

a hoy was also otm abt sil/bal/ag being the most interesting attack in europe this season

silkunbalo

'excellent technique john terry'

troo although actually dzeko's form has been the best part of city this season imo. mainly cos he looked shit when he came in jan and it was nice to see him settle instead of just being forgotten about and replaced like rich clubs have a habit of doing.

totes, i like dzeko

Game needed that

clichy is poo

watchin this on delay, htf is meirelles still on the pitch

oooh roma-juve is on as well. gonna watch that instead, sounds more interesting.

ok i cannot get a stream to work. its like the internet doesn't like me anymore.

toure has backed himself to walk in this game

jesus what's clattenburg for? Did a technical player fuck his gran in front of him?

Kompany too. This is all Chelsea.

Buffon just saved a penalty too

Wilkins actually purring at Mata

rightly so tho tbf

Only thing worse than a ref who wants to run things is a ref afraid of handling things

jesus what's clattenburg for? Did a technical player fuck his gran in front of him?
