Sorry for late reply. It was pretty much Merkel keeping the play alive but his header would have been cleared by any of the 3 Roma players standing on the line, anyways I still like to think the same as you ;):tongue:
Lol. Obviously, it wouldn't have been a goal with his header but it's still 99% his :D.


Was able to catch the 2nd half, Joel :cool:. You'll see him becomming a star.

Looks like it :) Though I still think he should have a stint in the Championship or lower EPL side before returning to Arsenal. There is a major difference between the pace and physicality in L1 and EPL and he needs to experience this before the big step up. Bundesliga would be good too.

As I told you before, he will slowly become the main man for Lorient soon, with Gameiro gone they need someone with quality to lead the line.

Yup. I was crossing fingers for him to go to Bundesliga since it's more suited with EPL, but considering Gourcuff's and Wenger's relationship, I'm expecting him to be worked out in a way to suit Arsenal.

Palermo really fucked themselves letting so many of their key players go. They could have been promising, but they are going to be mid-table wont even challenge for Europa Cup

I always find it interesting to read what Moggi has to say about the satus of Serie A.
Moggi: "Naples discontinuous. If De Laurentiis says to bet on the Champions ..."
Do not agree with the choice of De Laurentiis to focus strongly on Europe to the detriment of the championship, because in this way gives a relaxed environment ...

10/28/2011

Midweek: Revolution announced. Perhaps many will be surprised, the revolutions that are looked forward to the top of our league and not only, of course, however, who faithfully follows our weekly, has been able to follow and see how the values ​​inherent to the protagonists of the series A, are also saying inexorably down the list.

We start by Milan, of course, does not respect the current ranking, but ranking the teams as likely (at least in my opinion) to see you in May.
The "bin" Nocerino pulls the team, and Ibrahimovic follows him throwing behind the victim of a kind that smacks of Parma mortgage for the future of the end of the season.
The Juventus midfielder school, I know it well, and maybe I could settle for this unexpected qualities in a time when many were shouting to "only". The former Palermo midfielder, he's someone that only those who don't know football could brand as a simple median: Nocerino also has quality, possesses timing to play decently in possession, in addition to on the break, he represents an alternative destined to acquire more and more importance in the Rossoneri. For that matter, certainly don't ask of him to act as a leader. Ibrahimovic is already there for that, the same one that too many people took for the next to retire, more hope than truly believing. Those who do not know Ibra do not know the will to win that burns in his legs, in his muscles, in his head. A natural born winner who has no intention of stopping now.

I like Juventus, seems rhetorical, but the presence of one who knows what it means to manage that environment as Antonio Conte, is undoubtedly something which can allow Juventus to embrace the top of Italian football. For the victory too soon, I still think despite the difficulty of opponents, mainly because of interpreters in my opinion does not match the ambitions of a company from the pedigree of Juventus, but looking back and watching the latest seasons, c ' is only to draw a smile on the faces of those who want the good of society most glorious of Italy.

Well even the Naples, too, however, subject to ups and downs. Do not agree with the choice of De Laurentiis to focus strongly on Europe to the detriment of the championship, because in this way gives a relaxed environment that a team that makes the determination of its strength can hardly afford. Mazzarri is following precisely the directions presidential painstaking, and the ranking is affected in the same year which was not crazy to think of a surprise.
In contrast, typhoid does not seem to be affected by anything. The scenes views yesterday to grab tickets for the trip to Bavaria, which can not inspire anyone to want to split the world once it takes the field.

I close with Inter, because in view of the mother of all games, at least with regard to our football, could not be otherwise. The difficulties are clearly Nerazzurri daughters of bad choices, sometimes totally wrong, but we're here to tell you for years and not months. Milito is the shadow of the player that was only for a season in his entire career, at this time is a burden, a problem than a solution. However its importance within the squad of Argentina, it requires the use of almost regular intervals with the results that are visible to everyone. Ranieri will be good to win these power relations, to give to a team depleted energy to close a season that is shaping up decently generous with smiles.

Pirlo - what a dick.

Motivation Schmotivation...I think when these players go to other teams that ACTUALLY make them play instead of giving them renewals, they all of a sudden find new motivation.

Anyways, I hope we rip Juve a new asshole in San Siro.

I wonder what will transpire if Inter go on another losing streak and crash out of the CL, among other things. Will they fire Ranieri too? If they do, then god help them 'cause whoever comes in, the season will, for all intents and purposes, be a write off. To think they could've done the same thing if they had stuck with Gasperini. Why the fuck would you hire someone if you don't want to hire him?

because they were rejected by 5 good coaches previously.. For me it was clear that Inter will suffer this year.

I think, people underestimate what firing Benitez did to inter.....

if I'm a coach in europe, i see what mourinho did at inter. Then I see Benitez comes in, and is promised 3 signings. He didn't get them. He was given an injured squad. Bad results and a quick sack.

Since then they won't spend for their coaches, yet Moratti expects results.

It's not surprising to me big name coaches like biesla, hiddink and co. decline the offer, because the squad is declining, not being reinforced but they are being held to mourinho standards.

If you have other options, you take them... that's why only someone like gasperini who couldn't get a big club like inter job otherwise jumped it.

100%

But Benitez cannot be pardoned for that completely disgraceful football. 1st he was too stubborn and tried too hard to change from Mourinhos tactics, whereas he should have taken small steps and make the changes gradually. 2nd he was also playing many players out of position and fielding very average players like Biabiany. 3rd He tried to make Inter play a high defensive line when the entire defensive compartment is not best at running and chasing the ball but at closing down the space (this linked to 1st point).

I think Leonardo, being the dumbass that he is, also tried to do an entirely new project that did not suit the characteristics of the team, and also dumbass Gasperini did the same.

When Ranieri took over, the first thing he did was to put players in the natural positions. So when Maicon was injured, Zanetti played RB, not some nonsense player like Jonathan, or Forlan on the left wing, or Sneijder CM...

I believe some of their initial choices rejected them, I think Hiddink was one of the candidates who wanted to continue with Turkey. Come to think of it, he could be a free man by the end of the next month should Turkey fail to make the cut for the Euros.

Gasperini was clearly a mistake, not that he isn't a good coach but I think his marriage to the 3.4.3 and Maicon being injured at that time hurt Inter a lot. Also, poor work in the market [Alvarez, Jonathan; sale of Eto'o] has hurt them somewhat and of course the debt level the club is in.

Anyways, as for Ranieri, could be another case of "just a matter of time". Soon Hiddink could be free, LvG is currently free, next summer they could look to Capello or Guardiola or maybe even prize Mazzari away, who knows...

No Champions League football will fuck them over badly, finishing third should be the absolute priority this season. As things stand, I can't see Milan, Juve and Napoli not finishing ahead of Inter. I think that'll be the top three, with Inter and Roma in the Europa.
