Barclays Premier League
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Arsenal 1-2 Hull

I know i know Tim, i actually love this.

I haven;t had a good football talk in a while, heck i live in Atlanta,Ga who can i talk with about Champions League here?

When it comes down to Football calling each other names and stuff it's all cool. i hope the other take it the same way.

Excactly

P.S. Serie A is still shit

yuck yuck yuck, you used that one last time. Still dont change the fact that Italians are diving fuck wads. Lucky fucks

Summary:

1. Serie A is boring
2. No italian teams left in the champions league because they are shit
3. you don't know fuck all about football
4. An english team is going to win it again this season if not Barca.
5. you've obviously lost touch with football living in Atlanta, you should go watch the braves play baseball.
6. your thread backfired and you now look like an idiot
7. you can respond to this message later with more wikianswers but we will own your pathetic knowledge of football yet again.

Of course, all is fair in love, war, and football.

Who do you fancy from the last 8....?

I am leaning toward LFC, Man U and Barcelona.

Little boy i don't need wiki answers, i watch AC Milan since 1980 so i know one or two things about our trophies.

We have been battling with Boca juniors ( from Buenos Aires Argentina, in case you want to know) from years now so i don't need any website to tell what they won and what we won.

We can go back and forth for years about who is the best and who is not, like you say the FACTS are the only import thing here.

FACTS say the ManU is a powerhouse as much as AC Milan, truth is that AC Milan has 7 champions League and ManU 3.

Truth is that Last Time ManU lost in Champions League was against AC Milan ( 3-0).

I believe that but i am not sure that last time ManU lost a CL at Old Trafford was against AC Milan ( 0-1 Crespo)

You like Ronaldo? well i don't and i can tell you why: he doesn't make the differece in the team, Rooney does, the great Ryan Gigs does. Rolando is a sissy primadonna who likes to pass the ball with his hill when it's not necessary.

Kaka' , Messi, Totti, Gerard,Pato,Buffon these are world class player.

Anyway i am done.

Have a good weekend.

Don't forget:
Roma 3 times
Lazio 2 times
Napoli 2 times

OK you won the GFY battle little boy, make a screenshot and hang it on the wall .

here is my WIKI answer for you:

I think only Barcelona can stop one of the British teams.

I say that one between ManU, Liverpool and Barcelona will be in the final. Arsenal and Chelsea won't make it.

Picking up on Ross' post, whilst Maldini is a Milan (and football) legend, I reckon their greatest defender was Franco Baresi. That guy was incredible, and the bedrock that Milan brought the likes of Maldini and Costacurta through on.

Alas Moxx, in recent years I dont think Serie A compares to the Premier League in terms of quality or success. I reckon that if you asked 100 people here to pick an Italian game or a Premiership game to watch, 90% would go for the Premiership.

The English national team does have its problems and in reality they start at grass roots level. However nowadays kids are being encouraged to be comfortable with the football rather than just wanting to "lump it" up the pitch. When will we see the benefits? Who knows, maybe in 20 years time. But there are steps being taken to ensure we create a new generation of footballers who can play football "the right way" (like Spain showed us recently). Personally I think bringing in Cappello was a great move as he will instill discipline, desire and pride into the national team.

Kevin Kegan #7 was my hero then he went to play for Hamburg and that silly ass of Kenny Dalglish took his place, i was 9 and sooooo pissed that i changed team and supported Wrexham.
I don't know why im saying this, i guess im still pissed about Notingham Forest beating Liverpool in the first turn of the European cup back in 78. Brian Clough was a prick.

My first game at the stadium was Wales Scotland at Wrexham, i went with my brother and his mates, i hid in the corner at the top left of the stands behind the goal, while my brother and another 500 sheep shaggers beat up a bunch of drunk Scots that entered the wrong stands. Wales lost but i didnt see the goal, all i seen was beat up fans angry pigs and flying fists.

When England got kicked out of the 82 world cup in Spain i was pissed, i wanted a final England - Italy, but still Rossi, Cabrini, Conti, Scirea, Tardelli and company went ahead and kicked Germanys ass 3-1.

I did go to Montecarlo in 1999 to see Lazio beat Manchester United in the Uefa super cup final, it was fun cos i could count on my fingers the amount of Man U fans there. Salas scored a great goal and we beat the champions of Europe.

Capello is the right man for England, cos hes Italian and he wont take shit from anyone. Hes the most decorated coach in the past 10 years if im not wrong, winning a lot with Milan, Roma and R. Madrid. Still i think Ramsey is rolling over, by the way who remembers Gordon Banks and Bobby Moore the 1966 hero's and to think that was the only official trophy England has every won.

whatever.

Great post Lee! I agree with you.

Thanks for bringing up my childhood hero and idol Franco Baresi.

I think though that Maldini is a way more complete player ( a right footer that made his Career play of the left wing!).

Baresi had the guts of a Bull and he was hard as a rock, i think that at least in one occasion he deserved the golden ball...only if Van Basten was not around....

Wasn't it Keegan that score against Juve in the 1980 final? I was 4

Didn't Milan win in 2007...?

The last three winners have been Barcelona, Milan, and Man U -- that is hardly English European domination.

Since 2000;

2000 -- Real
2001 -- Bayern Munich
2002 - Real
2003 -- Milan
2004 -- Porto
2005 - LFC
2006 -- Barcelona
2007 -- Milan
2008 -- Man U

The sad fact is that English football has only improved with the addition of non English management, and non English talent.

Arguably Arsenal best game ever was in the 2006 final, and they only had two English players (Cole and Campbell -- both defenders).

LFC's win in the 2005 final only featured 2 English players.

The Man U / Chelsea 2008 final only had a combined 10 English players of of the total 36 players in both squads.
