European football thread (CL, Europa)

[lyrical start]

I'm suprised Olympiakos didn't come out all guns blazing.
Arsenal on top in the 1st half

 

[Flipmo]

Olympiakos just scored lol

 

[lyrical start]

Ramseys & Song are bossin this game. Ramsey's made alot of killer passes, it's just a shame Velas finishing has been so pooor.

We should be 2-1 up ..

 

[lyrical start]

Liverpool lost... loooool

Next up Arsenal

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Gilardino. I used to give the guy so much grief. I quite like him now

 

[DPG iz all I C]

Did Torres play tonight ?

 

[Bobby Sands]

^^he came on as a sub. Pacheco should feature more for Liverpool. He is only 18 and a bit light but he looks like he could offer more than some of the others.

Messi had to go off injured at the very end of that game. they kicked him for the whole match. scored a nice free kick as well

Balotelli's free kick was class.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Why are Liverpool not seeded for the Europa League? Surely the co-efficiency should be enough to make them seeds..

Yeah both free kicks were good, Balotelli's especially.

@ Seb.exactly what i was thinking.

Pranjic is a decent player but nothing more imo. Its all well and good being "class" for Heerenveen in the Eridivisie but we are discussing the player in relation to Bayern Munich and the higher level they play at i.e Champions League. He was 27 when he moved to Bayern which makes me wonder why he didnt move to a bigger league or club earlier in his career

I reckon Bayern signed him as a back up player though. im not sure, but i dont think he would play if Robben and Ribery are fully fit?

Typical "big league follower's" arrogance. You don't know shit outside England and Seb doesn't know his own ass from his nostrils.


There's been plenty of great players that used Holland as a training school. Some succeed on a higher level, some don't. I've seen Pranjic for years and I'm convinced that he's technically good enough for the highest level. Now if that doesn't work out, it's tough on him, but he's got the goods.


If you want I can give you a list of players active in the Eredivisie who are undisputedly gonna be big within the next five years. You can come back and suck my balls in 5 years when I'm proven right.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Can I do that also? :wondering:

i just knew you'd take it up wrong lol. no im not just a big league follower and i do know "shit" outside of England. what i said is a fact. Dutch League is not the same level as champions league. Of course Holland produces some great youngsters. No one denies that and its likely they will produce some more talented young players in the next 5 years but will they be still playing in Holland at the age of 27? Unlikely. They will probably have moved onto bigger clubs.

Fact is, Pranjic is struggling to make the step up to a higher level of football

 

[Flipmo]

Don't most players struggle the first year after moving up a level anyways? Even some of the most talented players need to adjust. Shit, even Henry was struggling his first season at Barcelona, but made up for it a season later.

They can't all be like Maradona and flourish in any league you know. lol

 

[Bobby Sands]

well my main point is that at the age of 27, what is he still doing at Heerenveen if he so "class"? he is a decent player but i wouldnt say he is class. Thats a strong word to use imo

 

[hizzle?]

Flipmo just told you, Hearnvenrnarneven <3 didn't want to sell him...

Also, Pjanic scored today against Debrecen. Some good in the bad of that group.

 

[Bobby Sands]

he scored against liverpool did he?

 

[Flipmo]

Pjanic > Juninho (eventually...)

 

[hizzle?]

Oups, I wanted to write Debrecen. I was just sad Liverpool lost.

No, he set up that late goal though.

Chelsea wants him for 15M Pounds. He's worth that to be honest, kid is fucking sick...

 

[Flipmo]

Hope he doesn't go to Chelsea. They'll ruin him, like they ruin everyone.

I'd like to see Pjanic in Spain........ or Bulgaria.

Yeah both free kicks were good, Balotelli's especially.

Not seen them yet but I have seen Ronaldos and it was quality.
