Real Football (Soccer to you Yanks) Thread

And hopefully that one day is next year or whenever the full report/inquiry comes out. Looking at the youngest, it sad to see that a 10 year old lost his life and any potential of a future but on a somewhat lighter note, one of the two people who went into a vegetive state is still living albeit still with very limited functions.
 
I'm relieved ITV have thought to remind me every five minutes that Rooney isn't playing and showing him in the stands every 10, I'd forgotten.

..........

I hate ITV for football coverage, they are really shit. The only consolation if we don't get to the final will be not having to watch ITV's football coverage.

In fact, instead of prison, we should subject every prisoner to watching ITV football coverage for 500 days straight. Crime rates would plummet.

No way is the balance of power changing, it's just one trophy which they will most likely win, though I'd piss myself if they lost in the final. I don't think people need to be reminding that we have a great lead in the Premier League and one foot in the Champions League final.
 
We'll always have money to spend though, regardless of debt. People forget the debt is the Glazer's personal debt rather than a debt which will cause administration to the club, like a lot of other in debt teams. We don't nessesarily need a lot more adding, the infastructure is already there. We're doing a lot better than at this stage last season. The main difference between us and them is they can afford to throw money at the problem if players aren't performing. Think about it, Adebayor, Santa cruz et al weren't performing, so they loaned them out and bought Balotelli and Dzeko. If we have a striker who isn't performing, we can't nessescarily do that. However they have to be successful because if they want to be in Europe, results and performances have to follow financial statistics, because they will not be allowed in Europe with their shortfall financially. We don't have that problem.
