Football Thread 2014/2015 |OT11| This Is Our Year!

I don't even remember the reason why I started supporting Utd. Maybe I had an infatuation with Steve Bruce and Gary Pallister's beautiful faces. I just don't know.

I wanna thank the fan club of our national team, the users of dfb.de and uefa.com and all of you who have given me their vote. The vote for the national player of the year 2014 and the election for the uefa.com team of the year mean a lot to me because it was accompanied by fans from all over the world. In fact, I'm not a big fan of individual awards, because we can only win as a team in our sport. Therefore, I would like to thank the whole DFB-Team for cooperating extremely well in the past year. For me, this year with winning the Double with Bayern, the World Championship, the move to Real Madrid, the European Super Cup and winning the Club World Cup will always be a highlight in my career. The election of the National Player of the World Cup year 2014 and to be part of the uefa.com team of the year complements these great memories.

Incredible.

The Premier League actually had to correct you. It's possible the people making the announcement were mistaken, but yeah.
Interesting -- I hadn't read any of today's news due to traveling for work. Whatever the case may be with his contract, the reality is that it's truly a non-issue in the grand scheme of things. I think NYCFC does need to offer some level of reparations but this situation isn't any different than a star player getting traded in the preseason after people had bought tickets, etc. it happens. The difference here being that he is coming later as opposed to leaving.

You're like two or three pages late on this.

Sure in the grand scheme of things this is all just football so why bother watching games, buying jerseys, etc. Shouldn't your time and money be going to helping the world's poor instead? The reality is that people love sports and the ability to succeed in football is shaped by financial resources and constraints and its clear that the City organization doesn't want to play by these rules.

or people in NY who follow football but haven't chosen an MLS team to support yet.
This is most of the U.S., to be honest. If you start a team somewhere, people will follow it. That's the American sports culture -- the Atlanta MLS team already has like 15,000 season ticket commitments. Having Lampard and Villa would make watching NYCFC more appealing, but if either one of them is the only reason you're going to support them rather than just wanting to support a team in NYC, then I don't agree with [your] (this is a general statement and not aimed at you in particular) viewpoint. Be a fan because you want to support the team.

I had no ties at all to UT before. I'm an FSU alum and they're my actually team but I'm here so I'm supporting UT.

So Sissoko has tweeted that he is staying, or at least is not on the verge of a move.

Good news, need to keep him until the summer to ensure we don't get dragged into anything.

Remi Garde supposedly in talks for the job, would be pleased with that although De Boer would be my dream appointment.

Carver becoming permanent would be the worst appointment we could make.

He is utterly incompetent.

Tbf Laurent Blanc pissed all over any chance of them signing Sissoko today.

Farid, not sure if I ever asked you this before, but do you listen to hiphop at all? Because the 90's are the golden era of hiphop.

Looks like chelsea maybe trying to hijack the bid for Bony. It seems man city are trying to get swansea to sell him for less than 30 million (25 million is mentioned).

I'm really excited to see ozil play again, this probably speak volumes of how much wenger has pulled the wool over some fans eyes but I get it when he says he adds continuity to our play, I really believe

I agree. Think he loses the ball too much, but he is by far our best passer in the final third.

Excited to see Sanchez, Theo and Ozil play together.

I can't really get behind that mindset. If you're going to support a team, then support the team. Someone liking a team due to 1 player is an idiot, frankly. I have UT Austin season tickets (college football) because I moved here and work at the university. There's lots of new players every year and frankly they haven't been very good but I still support them.

Didn't you start to like your team due to one musician?

It seems odd to criticise fans for only showing interest in the likes of Lampard and not the club, considering I find it fucking bizarre there even is fans for that club at all. How can you be a fan of something that hasn't existed in any form but a logo and a shirt?

So to say that the players are the reason they support the club, and nothing more, is no more odd to me than supporting that club in the first place.

Are the Madrid fans in here just gonna sit here and let Meier say this to you?

Meier is incredible

A clarification issued on Friday by the club said: “The statement on the NYCFC website in July saying Lampard’s two-year contract took effect from Aug 1, 2014 was a mistake. [The] initial statement on City’s website that it was a loan was also an error.”

Hahaha

We fucked up. We fucked up again.

Like they briefed whoever writes their press releases the wrong information accidentally.

Nothing will come of it. Lesser clubs would have been thrown out of competitions and had results rescinded. Fucking cunts.
