Hildebrand has become a terrible goalkeeper.

Sahin could be better than Xabi. Not good enough for la Liga? Half of la liga teams would go to relegation in bundesliga.
I would exchange Schweinsteiger for Ozil + Khedira + Sahin + Benzema + 30M.

While I agree that Sahin could become better than Xabi, there's no way Ozil is in the market for anyone except Messi :p

[Unless you were joking about that trade]

Obviously not going to happen, but Schweini is the most important german player right now IMO.
 
Just seen the highlights from the United game. Well, apparently we were very poor and I'll believe that but from the highlights package we should really have put the game away a long time before Norwich equalised.

De Gea made some fantastic saves, really great keeping from him today by the looks of it. Seems like he claimed plenty of crosses too.

Evra was at fault for me yet again for the Norwich goal. Holt's taken it really well, awesome finish, but the ball which is flicked on to him is uncontested and Evra is nowhere near close enough to the player flicking it on. it's not even like he's headed it (think it was Pilkington), it's at his feet and he's just turned it into the box. Evra has let his man drift a yard off him and you can't have lapses in concentration like that. Probably nit-picking but I'm seeing major errors from him every week now. Fabio in plz.

Bizarrely limp finishes from Welbeck and Hernandez in extremely clear, exceptionally well-created situations. Our passing around their box deserved better.

It wouldn't actually have been stupid to bring Berba on.

Right now the only thing missing from Welbeck's game has been his final pass and his finishing. He holds the ball up well and does alot for the team. Plus he's capable of taking players on, not something i've seen from Hernandez. Hopefully he improves on his finishing.

So I started a new career mode with the new roster update, this time with Oxford United (because their kits are good). So far I'm doing ok, the budget is 150k for transfers so I did my best and got 1 defender and like 3 mediocre free agents.

If you guys know about a talented kid I should buy for cheap, please tell :p

Yes, FIFA 12. Thanks! Looks like he's from Juve but on loan at Torino... So I would try to buy him next season when he returns to Juve :)

Yeah, that's ... not likely to happen. :) We'll probably use him as an incentive in some bigger deal / transfer.

That return has been and gone, and rather than Sahin sitting in the stands through injury, he's now sitting in the stands purely through not being selected in Mourinho's matchday squad. The reason? The Madrid boss has said Sahin is physically and mentally still in pre-season and not yet ready to be thrown straight into first-team action. Sahin has played in the Copa del Rey this season but has managed just 24 minutes so far in La Liga. That's quiet some time to be sat in the stands, or on the bench, for a player who arrived with such fanfare in the summer.

That stadium looks really nice. Too bad it was mostly empty that game.

And yeah the continuous GOOOOL can be pretty annoying. Brazilian commentators are known for it as well...

Really? I mean long GOOOL are common and ok in all Latinamerica, but that mexican guy is just ridiculous.

Not always but I think i've seen a few where it can be really long. I also hate it when they play that celebration music right after a goal is scored, shit is annoying.

Fuck you guys the GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLes are awesome.

The one thing I hate about English commentators is that sometimes they hardly show any emotion when someone scores. I had an Arsenal game playing in the background a few months ago and I didn't notice the scoreline had moved until after the first half had ended.

FAKE EDIT: Bermúdez and Martinoli are the best narrators in Mexico.

I think that narrator in the Chivas video is Uruguayan.

Someone needs to have a word with that thick cunt of a commentator.

Now identified as Dean Sturridge. Knob.

I like normal latin american commentators like the ones in ESPN Latin America and Luis Omar Tapia from Fox Sports (the rest are terrible). The only mexican narrator I like is Tato Noriega (ESPN).

El Perro Bermúdez surely is the worst narrator in Latin America.


I have seen a few streams without any commentators at all, that was fucking awesome just listening to the crowd.

Yep!

It feels good to have won a trophy. Means so much more to have to have knocked out Stoke, Chelsea and City to get there.

For Suarez, Carroll, Adam, Henderson, Enrique, etc. it'll be their first seasons and first trophies, but for Skrtel, Agger, Pepe, Kuyt it means a lot too. Some of those guys have never won a trophy with Liverpool.

It'd be fantastic to get the double for domestic cups, but Spurs are still in it and it'd take a hell of a work shift to beat them.

But for now, we've definitely earned the trophy and a place in Europe next season even if it's not the CL.
