itt liverpool not winning things; sandbox i love football

Shame. Hope he can get better.

That's rough. Hasn't been the same player for the last couple of seasons but that's pretty understandable in the circumstances. Now buy a bloody midfielder Fergie

hat's not even worth joking about. yet. genuinely like the guy, and utd badly need him.

makes the failure to buy a midfielder in the summer even more damning though. It's not like they haven't know about the extent of his illness for quite a while

very true

Let's see this Pogba already.

Pidier Pogba? You shouldn't type with your mouth full.

Pogba looks like he could do with a loan move at this point. He didn't really look ready for the first team in his Carling Cup appearance

Thursday night, Channel Five

Crikey Fulham

jol out.

Brown out as well. Three relegations in three seasons would have been quite a record.

News comes into Krakow of the Fulham result

That was cruel, but it seemed weirdly inevitable, in real time, once Odense started breaking. I like Fulham but I couldn't stifle a LOL tbh.

Goosebumps from that video NN :-D

Ach, why can't I watch that video on my phone? It's just my type of thing.

I've got very warm feelings towards the Europa League right now. Extremely annoyed at clubs not treating it like a proper tourney - that's the basic reason for its low status, it's a self-fulfilling diss. And change its name back too please.

yeah-

Daer clubs that think ur above uefa league- ur not. it's the best tournament you could qualify for. stfu and play some senior players kthks

Yay, it worked that time - that's lovely, brought a tear to my eye. 'Embarrassed to be in the Europa League', up yours United.

I think you mean English clubs not treating it like a proper tourney, AFAIA everybody else does.

Sorry, Premiership clubs

tbf it was Evra who said he was embarrassed, and we all know he's an arsehole

Ha, possibly that's true - my assumption was that PSG and Roma were halfway competent.

Don't agree with having the shite teams from the Champions League joining the competition halfway, that devalues it, then it becomes easier to dismiss it as the You're 'Opeless League

Hm, I see Roma didn't even make it - apologies for neglecting you my sweet Europa League, I've changed, things will be different from now on.

I've got much love for the Europa League too. And the "self fulfilling diss" IK speaks of is so otm. This will also be the reason why City and United won't come far in the tournament; Basel was keen on kicking Utd's arse, a lot of clubs in the EL will be the same if not more motivated to do the same.

dunno, if utd leave rooney out then they'll prob do ok

Yesterday: Barcelona will not sell David Villa (to Chelsea)
Earlier: Chelsea will not sell Torres 'at any price'
This just in: Villa breaks leg in Japan

First Putin fixes the election, now this

^^ this tbh

Yesterday: Barcelona will not sell David Villa (to Chelsea)
Earlier: Chelsea will not sell Torres 'at any price'
This just in: Villa breaks leg in Japan
Torres: Still shit

Agreed, the parachuting in shite is the absolute worst.

"Well done, you managed to finish above GENK! You're in!"

John Terry is a cunt

that doesn't even rhyme tbh

The truth doesn't have to rhyme

Sad for Villa. Was he still the main frwd for the national team during qualifying?

God forbid they would have to resort to Torres this summer.

Maybe they'll give Soldado a go after 3/4 years in exile.

Form so cold it's like a fridge

Oh wait- did i just hear a snap

Ruud van Nistelrooy is the 'World Goalgetter of the first decade (2001-2010)', just before Henry and Drogba

If you can't do the time
Don't do the crime

love Villa, hope he comes back from this as good as ever.

liking this UEFA Cup revival as well, i'm sure it won't be spoiled by British football media behaving as if there's only 1 team in the competition now

Genuinely didn't know Ruud was also an alchemist in his spare time

where did van Nis come in the "World Elbowing Dudes in the Face of the First Decade" comp?

You won't catch me out that easily. we all know there are 2 NV
xp

They retired that trophy with Shearer. No one could compete xpost

Stoke and Man City

The 'Europa League' is a pile of shite. It's not just the parachuting losers in halfway through, it's also the group format and the pool of teams (i.e. 5th-7th-best instead of 2nd-4th best). Old UEFA Cup & Cup Winner's Cup >>>>>>>>>> Europa League.
