Well, Maldini is a legend obviously, but he's no saint either. The supporters can say whatever they want imo. They don't have to be clapping-cattle.

 

[Flipmo]

Strachan is no more. Wonder who'll replace him.

Viduka is linked to a move back to Dinamo Zagreb, where he sorta first got recognized.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Duff says he is staying put

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

He needs to cut his wages in half then, maybe even moreso.

 

[Bobby Sands]

half the irish team is in the championship now although id say Kevin Doyle will move up to the premiership. Maybe to Sunderland. And maybe Hunt as well.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Bordeaux are Ligue 1 champions

and Standard Liege are champions in Belgium.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Standard went to a Championship playoff to win it. Nice. :thumb:

Congrats Bordeaux :thumb: I noticed they have signed Gourcoff now from AC Milan. Milan are fucking idiots.

 

[Duke]

Grats Bordeaux. Finally broke Lyon's hegemony.

 

[hizzle?]

Gourcuff is one sick player. It's too early in his career, but I think that he can become one of France's all time greats.

 

[Flipmo]

Next wonder kid for Bordeaux, Gregory Sertic.

You'll see.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Gourcuff is one sick player. It's too early in his career, but I think that he can become one of France's all time greats.

he is not that young. i think he is around 24 or 25 but yea, he is a very good player

 

[hizzle?]

He's 22, 23 in July.

Shut up Bobby.

 

[Bobby Sands]

:embarresd:

i thought he was older for some reason.

Real Betis relegated. wow, this is the second time in the recent past that they have gone down with a decent team.

This is Sergio Garcia's second season in a row being relegated. He was with Real Zaragoza last season. He aint all that is he.

They got relegated on goal difference and were just a goal off.

Their fans rioted after the game.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

I think they were relegated on the head to head, rather than goal difference. Sergio Garcia is okay at best, I thought with the return of Oliveira they might aviod relegation.

 

[Bobby Sands]

^^was Olivera with Zaragoza last season as well?

 

[Flipmo]

Yup, I believe he was.

 

[Bobby Sands]

hmmm maybe its wise to steer clear of those two players.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Yeah Zaragoza had Milito and Olivera in the top 10 Goal scorers in La Liga...and still went down :wondering: still shocks me as people were talking about them being a force over the next few years. They had a good squad. (Aimer/Milito/G.Milito/Oliveria/D'alesandro/Ayala/Matazeulem/Diogo) How on earth did that side go down..

Looks like they will be promoted though :thumb::

 

[Bobby Sands]

they had a lot of off field problems though. Maybe those players lack fight and character.
