QUOTE (chelseafanlello @ Jan 6 2009, 12:56 AM)  No, i don't think materazzi should have been sent off cause i don't like him. He should have been sent off, cause he said bad things about zidane's sister which caused the headbutt at first. If someone says something like this about my sister i wouldn't let it go. btw this isn't the first headbutt that zidane did to other players... and zidane saw the linesman and the ref not seeing him so he just did it .... a big player like him ... should be more genous ...! holla !

QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ Jan 6 2009, 05:29 AM)  Not really sure what you mean by "fake player". Messi probably is the best in the World right now, but during the year of 2008 no-one even came close to Ronaldo, in my opinion. It was just him and the rest. And this is from someone who hates Ronaldo and United. Exactly. Zidanes head-butt was bad enough, the fact that he even reacted at all is just as bad. You'd have thought someone that great would be more mentally tough than that. +10 cool points for liking Terry. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) theres a few other english players i like such as: lampard, richards, bridge, owen, agbonlahor, young, lennon, i could think of a few more (IMG: style_emoticons/default/read.gif)

QUOTE (Tennie @ Jan 8 2009, 12:27 AM)  Gosh. Derby beat MU 1-0 in the Carling Cup today. DERBY. Fully deserved the win too. (Spurs beat Burnley 4-1 in the 1st leg of the other SF). I've been hearing alot about Rafael, Uniteds new RB, but he got completely owned by some young kid playing for a Championship team! Nani and Anderson are looking terrible buys, last season they had the excuse that they were new. But for a combined fee of over £35m, they are massive flops, they're not worth £10m between them to be honest. They've just not developed at all, and we're getting played off the park by Derby..

I think he was trying to say 'were' but out came the Freudian slip. Ah ha, so now the truth is out. Mr. Aston Villa actually is in love with Cristiano Ronaldo.

Was meant to be ''were'' and not ''we're''. Arsenal are close to completing a deal for Arshavin. I feel for Arsenal, Wenger just never learns. The only thing they don't need is a creative, attacking player, particularly one that has the fitness of a 70 year old.

QUOTE Praise Martin O'Neill for taking Aston Villa into fourth place.
Praise him for assembling an exciting, young squad. Praise him for his tactical nous. Praise him for the feel-good factor he has restored to Villa Park. He's done a great job.
But if I hear another guy heaping plaudits on him for putting together a team with an "English spine" then I think I'm going to blow chunks.
Why is that praiseworthy? Because English players are somehow worse and so, therefore, winning with "an English spine" is more difficult? I don't think so.
Because having an "English spine" somehow makes Villa more genuine and a better reflection of its local ties? It's not as if this "English spine" is built entirely around local lads. Craig Gardner (who has yet to start a Premier League game for Villa this season), Zat Knight and Gabriel Agbonlahor are the only guys who can be described as local: most of the other English players hail from the South East or London.
Because having an "English spine" is a testament to a club's youth policy? Hardly. Except for Gardner, Agbonlahor and Barry, every English player who has received significant playing time at Villa was bought by O'Neill with cold hard cash. Villa do have a good academy, but the "English spine" has little or nothing to do with it.
The fact is that there is no inherent merit in having "an English spine". And that, in any case, an English spine can be assembled by any muppet with a big chequebook. O'Neill has done well, but his player's passports have nothing to do with it. Gabriele Marcotti is.. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Does he think Birmingham is another word for England? Or does he not realise that the term "English Spine" means players from the whole of England? I worry about the intelligence of some. Then again, how could I expect an Inter fan to know any better.

You're right. He doesn't quite get the picture, this bloke.
