    Oh and Spurs.

    Can throw in some Newcastle and West Ham while we’re at it. Actually might as well just throw in the rest of the London teams, Fulham is alright though.

    Don’t like Bournemouth or Everton either with their “we’re the good guys” marketing angle while simultaneously being two of the dirtiest teams to play against.

    City can suck it too because they are in first place and currently better than we are.

    Sunderland and Wigan for being completely unworthy of playing in the top division, and then turning into Barcelona for the last two months of every season just in time to stay up on goal difference.

    Maybe I should stop, seems like this could keep going for a while.

      Iniesta made the World XI.

      Great player but damn, he could retire and still make that team.

        On the other side of things, the Marseille fans in that one corner section were completely classless. You may not like Neymar, but no player anywhere in the world deserves to have stuff thrown at him when trying to take a corner. And like the announcers noted, it looked like some were younger than 10 years old and flipping him off. I may be old school in parenting, but damn, that's just poor.

        Speaking of which, my local USL team (OKC Energy) upset Reno in the 1st round of the playoffs Saturday night. After the game, one of our centerbacks was struck in the eye area with a bottle. Good grief, he was busted open and looked pretty nasty after. I just don't get it..

          That entire thing is just a popularity contest anyway.

          Alves being there is a joke, so is Iniesta.

          Even the player one is a joke. Last year, overall, was one of Neymar's worst seasons in Europe. He was absolutely not the 3rd best player in the world, any one of Modric/Lewy/Kroos were better. You could probably even take a defender in his place, Marcelo was almost completely unplayable for most of last season.

            I wonder what would happen if a GM in the US showed a video of a play on his phone to a ref in Football, Hockey or Basketball like Rangnick did in the Pokal match against Bayern.

            Also, I think Leipzig wins that game if Keita doesn't get a red card. We'll see in the rematch on Saturday. While it is disappointing that Leipzig is out early in the Pokal again, at least it allows them to focus on the CL and the Bund.

              The hammer has fallen on Patrice Evra. Banned from club competitions until June 2018 and his contract has been terminated. Buh bye.

                so Messi signs a new deal at Barca til 2021, my friend sends me a link to the news from Washington Post. I quickly learned that whomever is writing for them doesn't know the difference between a transfer fee and a release clause.

                  Liverpool: Wow, we sure did blow that game, up 3-0 at the half and drew 3-3. It can't get worse than that.

                      Saw a great point earlier this week that at this stage, Benevento had no pressure on them. Or, their opponents at least had more, as everyone defeats Benevento. At least, everyone used to.

                        Their keeper had an extra time equalizer from a free kick to steal a point for Milan today.

                        The scenes were outstanding!

                            Then Gattuso said that being stabbed would have been better than what happened. I'm sure that appointment will work out smoothly for everyone involved.

                              I wonder if he punches his players in the face when they lose.

                                Koln collapsed in epic fashion today. Up 3-0 and lost 4-3 after conceding two penalties in the 90th and 90+5.
