i'd rather bolton in europe

 

[Springsteen]

Me too, I feel they would represent England better. They play much better football.

its not that.....we're still the last midlands club to win the cup:24:

 

[Springsteen]

Lol true.

The last team to get near (discounting this season) was Villa in 2000, who lost to Chelsea in a terrible final.

Aye Bolton would be a better team for Europe but I'd rather see Stoke there for shits and giggles. At least they'll do a better job than Millwall did in 2004!

I read about that and it reminds me about Baros and Old Big-Ears in 2005.

Why does chelsea's goalkeeper wear a faggy helmet

 

[Springsteen]

He got kicked in the head (accidentally) by the then Reading player Stephen Hunt in a League match in October 2006.

Stops his head imploding inwards... That helmet is all that stops his brains from turning into beef casserole...
It's very sad, he has to wear it to bed, and his wife left him.

 

[TGLucario475]

But it's been four years since it happened, surely it's safe for him to remove it...

 

[Springsteen]

I don't think it is, because if he was ever to suffer another head injury (let's face it, keepers are more prone to these) then he could conceivably end up in a wheelchair with limited capabilities both physically and mentally. If you've watched Cech since that injury and before he doesn't come for as many balls because of the dangers of that.

Damn that sucks

 

[TGLucario475]

Ah, well that's actually fair enough then.

Oh, on a kinda related note, there is an account on Twitter called "HasTorresScoredYet" - It made me laugh.

I can't stand watching torres play.
I know I'm knew to watching football and diving is part of the game but that little fucker irritates me
One strong point in MLS and the US national team is diving is practically non existant

 

[TGLucario475]

That's probably because American Football/Soccer is a well respected and there isn't too much pressure for winning, so there is no diving or cheating to win.

Not yet, but you can tell when the foreign players dive, and how distraught they look when the play continues
Soon there will be a huge diversity in the mls where football fans will respect them

Your lucky! It is such an annoying part of the game... But right now it's more beneficial to dive than stay on your feet. Until that changes, players will continue to dive.

I respect the flow of the game and I know why its done, cause if the official doesn't see it how else are you gonna get the call, kind of mentality

if you ever see that incident again it was no accident,just like brian McClair doing david busst was no accident,or keane doing haaland
