The Big Football Thread (BPL, LA Liga, Ligue 1 and many more) [Season 2013]

United will be lucky to qualify for the Europa league at this rate, something serious needs to change at the moment. It's going to be bad losing Vidic at the end of the season, I wonder who will then take the captain band :):

fucking hell giroud! we need a striker. He just isnt good enough.

Rooney or Carrick methinks

That was an incredibly boring game. New it would be a 0-0 draw. In positive news I won £40 from a £1.50 stake betting last night :P:

Must be frustrating for Özil. He gives amazing passes infront and Giroud just misses them, last season when he hit it upfront Higuain/Benzema/Ronaldo would finish it.

He's off form the now as well, was certainly posted missing vs Liverpool!

i have a feeling that city will win the premier league.. but im hoping for another 'AGUEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO' situation.. maybe this time it will be 'RAMSEYYYYY'

city could and probably will put arsenal down to third with the game that was postponed, i predict top 3 will be city, chelsea and then liverpool (just my prediction)

Aw man I remember the day City won the league, was brilliant! Joey Barton getting a sending off was a blessing in disguise, bet he did it as a favour to his former team :P:

Yeah gonna be bad losing that big salary the club is paying every week for an injury prone clearly worthless defender now XD

in the same group with England and switzerland in the euro qualifiers.. Easy 3rd place imo. Now that 24 teams get to the euros 3rd place would mean play offs, the first 2 go straight to the euros.

Scotland have Germany, Poland, Republic of Ireland, Georgia and Gibraltar. As a mate of mines said if we can't beat Gibraltar we don't deserve independence! Also heard people saying we could take 2nd in the group. Aye, because Jordan Rhodes and Leigh Griffiths are gonna out-strike Robert Lewandowski and Jon Walters.

Not to mention our horrible defence of Mulgrew and Hanley. Only decent player on the Scotland team is Alan Hutton and he's mediocre. The only guy who plays for the pride of his country.

Last time Poland played Estonia they lost 1-0 :-D

Well Scotland won tonight... bloody surprise.

Have you guys ever thought what club you would support if your current club didn't exist? For me it would probably be Southampton. I abseloutly love their way of giving the youth a chance.. Kinda like Arsenal I guess.

at least they able to signed Juan Mata as he struggled to secure a regular first-team place in Chelsea.

Now that fergie has retired and moyes has fucked up... We can say that ronaldo wont be going back.

CL is in a few hours.. Predictions?

Bayern and Atletico will probably win.
However, Atletico's form hasn't been as good as it was a few months ago, so I do think Milan could pull through.

Arsenal 3-0 Bayern. Mark my words!!

Ha...

I'm rooting for 4-2 Man City tomorrow, you heard it here first!

Arsenal played pretty good tho. Oil was limping... Fuck

Or he's just acting up :wink:

I'd take that

Chelsea! Chelsea! Chelsea! 6-0 on Wegner's 1000 match. Hahaha. Suck it Gunners. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

Embarassing for Wenger, wish Chelsea scored more just to make it Wenger's worst defeat ever on such a momentous day :laugh:

So... United have Bayern in the Champions League.
:(

What a goal from Wayne Rooney last night against West Brom

Every season.. Every season we lose the big games....

couldn't disagree with that

So Liverpool are doing well this year :) I'm hoping we maintain this current form so we can keep a CL spot, we have a few big games left (Man city, chelsea, tottenham) at home so hoping we can get something from them.

If we were to win them games we have a very good chance at the title this year, but I won't be holding my breath, I'm just really happy where we are at the moment.

Here's my final league table prediction:

Spoiler:

1.Manchester City
2.Chelsea
3.Liverpool
4.Arsenal
5.Everton
6.Tottenham
7.Manchester United
8.Newcastle
9.Southampton
10.Aston Villa
11. Stoke City
12.Hull city
13.West Ham
14.Swansea
15.Norwich
16.Crystal Palace
17.West brom
18.Sunderland
19.Cardiff
20.Fulham

I'll go for this:

1: Chelsea
2: Manchester City
3: Arsenal
4: Liverpool
5: Everton
6: Tottenham
7: Man United
8: Newcastle
9: Southampton
10: Stoke City
11: Aston Villa
12: West Ham
13: Swansea
14: Hull City
15: West Brom
16: Norwich City
17: Sunderland
18: Crystal Palace
19: Cardiff
20: Fulham

I'm gonna say it now.
Arsenal are the most frustrating team to watch at times..

And I'm gonna say this, Man City are awesome, United are shit!

Yup, City are just amazing at the moment. I'm scared.

Could Liverpool win it?

We really need to see how we play against Man City and Chelsea, if we were to win both I'd say we have a good chance of winning it. What we really need to do is win all of games now.

gonna post the league standings atm

Celtic just won the Scottish top division. Not that it matters much, there's zero competition in it. Heart of Midlothian (aka Hearts) will be relegated by mid-April. Leaves 11th spot up for grabs, fancy St Mirren to finish 11th

It's gonna be a competition between Celtic and Bayern next year on who can win the league first.

I bought tickets for the WC going to all Brazil games

Seriously? Jackpot mate!

Try to get there early, I've heard the airports will be manic and could possibly miss the the games

Yeah a mate of mine was going and I got tickets Abit cheaper via him

Going a week early. It's also a vacation for me

So.. Neymar got shot 50 times today

Just gonna talk about CL..
ATLETICOOOO, I'm extremely pleased to see them up there now, hopefully they can be good contenders like this for years to come.

Fantastic to see Atletico knock out Barca and United get humped again! Disappointed that Dortmund aren't in the semi's however :(:

I went batshit crazy when Evra scored...
It ranked up there alongside Scholes's goal against Barca a few years ago & Terry's miss in the CL final.
:(

I'm supporting atletico in the remaining fixtures

Interestingly, the last 4 teams to knock out Barca then went on to win the CL...

Well Uniteds hopes went down the drain last night, we were playing so well, evra scored and it just went downhill... 22 seconds later, they scored. really??

Atletico will definitely be great contenders if they manage to win the Final. Good luck to them, well deserved win also. They'll be even better when Diego Costa is eligible to play

Hoping Atletico don't meet Chelsea so Courtois can play.

If Courtois could actually play in that match it would be epic.. It would be an eye opener for Mourinho anyway. Petr vs Thibaut. One day!!!!!

Courtois can play, UEFA overturned the payment clause because it violated the 'spirit of football' or something.
:D

LIVERPOOL! So happy for them and so proud, it'll be the first time I've ever witnessed them win the league if they do! Sterling and COUTINHO really performed today, Skrtel too.

I will cry if we lose in the fa cup final

Depends who you're playing. Arsenal seemed to struggle against Wigan, I guess Wenger does deserve a trophy tho.

It's Liverpool's to lose. Have to admit, would be refreshing to see the Scouse do it!

Manchester United are still going to win the league!....

Aye on Football Manager :P:

That's the spirit. I just want to see Stevie get his first BPL winners medal, although it's a shame Carragher didn't stay on for one more year so they could win it together :(

Ach Carragher was was too old and wouldn't have got enough games to get a medal anyways!

We should have a rz fm network game

I wouldn't be able to play on this damn iPad. Sucks to be me.

Anyone see Gerrard post match against Man City? It made me wanna cry with happiness, what a legend.

Very happy for him. Who would've guessed that Liverpool might win it at the start?

Sterling, Chamberlain, Flanagan, Barkley and Coutinho have really impressed me this season.
If we play a youthful squad at the WC, we may have a chance of actually doing something!

The youth HAVE to be given a chance at the World Cup. Oxlaide-Chamberlain, Lallana, Barkley, Shaw, Sterling, Sturridge, they MUST MUST MUST play!

Shaw would be a good backup but I think that Hodgson will pick Cole over Shaw as Cole is more reliable of a backup

Cole's barely played this season. He'd be stupid not to take Shaw. The youth must be given experience. Cole's had his turn, Baines is proving to be a reliable and resourceful left-back, they're the two obvious choices for me

DIEGO COSTAS INJURY THO. Ouch!

Thankfully it's the best case scenario

Right on the knee cap bone! Cringeeee!

Simeone said it's just a minor knock lol

You know I just thought that if wenger spends money on a new RB(beacause Sagna is leaving:( ) and a striker ANDD we would have less injury problems.. we could challenge the title next season. But everyone is gonna get injured again next season.. like always :(

There's clearly something wrong with the training centre/regime then if everyone's constantly injured!

Who would replace Sagna though? Can only think of Micah Richards

I reckon Juanfran should be a good option for Wenger, definitely in need of a striker though. I could imagine them going for someone like Jeremy Menez tbh or someone more familiar in BPL.

Also just thought I'd pay my respect to Dylan Tombides who lost his battle with cancer today. Love goes out to his family, sad to see such a promising player die so young.

At first it was speculated that Coleman might come.. But now that we might end up 5th... Not gonna happen

And the chosen one is gone

edit:

It will be interesting to see what manager we can pull in, Louis van Gaal seems to be the biggest rumour to be in with a shot. If we do sign him as our new manager, that will put out our hopes for the great deal of next season, not having him pull in some deadly signings at the beginning of the market will seriously jeopardize anything we have left (Him currently managing Netherlands will put him out until atleast July, the same problem was had with Moyes, him making late signings. In reality, we need atleast 7 or odd new players, won't happen I know. Our whole first team is getting weaker and weaker, more rumours of the players wanting to leave is also putting a bad situation for the club.

Giggs is also got some odds as being manager but it won't happen as the clubs as currently said, it would be pretty nice to see this happen. He would need atleast a bit of experiencing managing before he could have a shot though, even though he probably knows the club better than anyone else (apart from SIF.) It would be pretty funny this weekend to see him sub him self on against Norwich!

Has to be Van Gaal unless he goes to Spurs. United need a whole new squad practically!

My prediction on the Premier League standings when it finishes.

1. Liverpool
2. Manchester City
3. Chelsea
4. Everton
5. Arsenal
6. Tottenham
7. Manchester United
8. Southampton
9. Stoke
10. Newcastle
11. Crystal Palace
12. Swansea
13. West Ham
14. Hull
15. Aston Villa
16. West Brom
17. Fulham
18. Norwich
19. Cardiff
20. Sunderland

It's awesome to finally see some competition in the PL, for a while now it's always been between United and Chelsea and then City and United.

Liverpool 100% deserve the title this season.

All too coincidental that suddenly the Premier League is more exciting the year Sky double their payment for the rights to televise the games... :mellow:

Madrid derby for the final pls

Most likely will happen, Chelsea played poor in their match against Athletico parking the bus? really!

And Man city won the league, what a eventful season this year has been..

Can today be Arsenals first day in 8 years to finally win a trophy? Or will Since Arsenal last won a trophy/ be made completely useless by resetting to 0! I'm hoping Hull win, just to rub it in Arsenal fans face..

* Underwhelming end to the BPL season given such a good build up to the final day
* Go Atletico!
* Only taken Arsenal 9 years to win a trophy, wish Hull won it though just to keep Arsenal fans waiting longer!
* Here's hoping for an Atletico double
