A new lesson for all the stupid Juve fans that were claiming that we should be sacrifised for the good of serie A.
And we should not go to TAR because it would harm Italy...
This is how they pay us back!

Simply put, the more steps you make back, the more room you concede...
We should know better next time, there is nothing else to learn from this passing media tale than that.
The Italian press hardly needed a scandal to create false interest from nowhere.
As many boring days are expected ahead in this summer mercato, since nothing really will happen after the EURO is concluded and the Olympic Games will harm it really more.
This thing is not new, its recycled from the first attempt to de-stabilize us.
But they really cant do any better than that, we should just lough it of and ignore it...

If there is one thing to worry about, is not if they really have anything on us, they didnt have the last time either, but what are our managers doing to balance the odds???
Boasting an unofficial 4rd start that invalides the whole concept? (what will stop another team to claim they were robbed and add a couple of stars after we do that? )

You know what this whole $#@! reminds me of? You guys remember that cave scene in Shutter Island movie, the dialogue between that nurse and DiCaprio's character? She said "they declare you insane so that whatever you might state in your defense will just sound like a symptom of your insanity".

So this is what this media run by our enemies is doing, they declare us criminals so that no matter how much and how we win, the world will see us as cheaters and assume that our success is the "symptom" of our criminal deeds.

$#@! them ALL! Amici di Nessuno!

How Everton Help Save The Premier League

This warm weather malarkey has led to a lot of sleepless nights. During these, I have had plenty of time to ponder life, the universe and football.

It is in this time I have had a startling revelation. There is a massive conspiracy in the world of the Premier League.

Everton football club conspire to be sh*te for half a season every year. On the outside it looks like each and every sodding season starts with boardroom turmoil, half the players not knowing if they have any future at the club, terrible pre-season campaign ideas and a lethargy of ideas on the pitch. Other teams - including Liverpool - conspire with Everton to beat them thoroughly and regularly until around Christmas time, allowing enough of a gap to develop between the 'leading' teams and the Toffees. It must be noted however, that Manchester City are not in on this act as they are defeated consistently by the Royal Blue Juggernaut.

The truth is that if Everton played as well as they could throughout the whole season then they'd run away with the league season on season. This would result in the stagnation of the Premier League and a drop in its overall following and revenue streams both domestically and internationally which would in turn cause splinter competitions to break off and rival teams imploding (or exploding, possibly). It would be the death of the game as we know it but for the annual sacrifice of the Boys in Blue.

They are not the heroes football deserves, they are the heroes football needs.

Agree wholeheartedly with this. With the compo we may just get a much bigger name. Spend £4 million of the compo on a 2 year contract for Guardiola. He wants a PL job and it's all ready for him playing wise.

It's really far fetched and I know I'll get pelters for this but shy boys don't get sweeties. The worst he can say is no. On the other hand........ get Poyet, Zola or Di Matteo. We're not NPC anymore, why restrict our options.

Brendan Who???

By appointing Brendan Rodgers, I think we can safely say that John W Henry and Fenway are Hicks and Gillette Mark 2

As part of the compensation deal agreed between the two clubs, Rodgers can not sign any players from the Welsh club for 12 months. But since Sigurdsson is still under contract with Hoffenheim, he can be signed by Rodgers at Liverpool.

This scenario is eerily familiar to when Roy Hodgson decided to bring in left back Paul Konchesky with him from Fulham in 2010.

Rent the movie "Green Street Hooligans" (netfilx or blockbuster), and you will know what a firm is. It stars frodo from lord of the rings (forgot his real name). Pretty good flick.

Ronaldinho has terminated his contract at his club in brazil(sao Paolo i think) over unpaid wages. he has big sam signing written all over him. cast your mind back to Okocha & Djorkaeff @ bolton. i think he would be amazing signing even if off the bench he could be some impact player and SUGO would love a big name like him. what you reckon guys

I know all the poor nations love it, but it just seems so ghey the way they all dive on the ground and cry like little girls when someone gets near them.

Please aware me how it is possible to actually like this "sport"

i love how this is a bodybuilding forum where the goal here is to get big and ripped, yet people here are criticizing the sport that rewards the big and ripped guys... riddle me that

to all you foot fairires out there, please post in another forum if you arent man enough to admit this guy



is more of an athlete than this guy

It's the exact same as soccer. People act like it's a huge difference.

Baseball game:
brb hit a home run
brb steal a base
brb double play

Soccer game:
brb score a goal
brb good save
brb penalty shot

Each other them are slow paced sports that are boring to watch. The difference is, at a Baseball game I can sit around eating hot dogs and socializing rather then standing up for 90 minutes singing chitty songs with a bunch of smelly Europeans.

So today I did my leg work out this morning and did some cardio. I am tired of seeing all these soccer poverty ball threads and about how hard it is to play it. I play football and basketball regularly and I already know they take more skill then soccer. So today I went to play bball at a local school to go shoot around and relax. There are usually some Nigerians and guys from Ghana who play soccer up on a field there. So today I brought my football cleats and asked if I could join in. They play just about every day and are pretty good. They all either play for their uni or play for their country when they are not in America. So they let me play and keep in mind, I haven’t touched a soccer ball in years. We play a game up to five and I score three of the goals. They were not super fancy shots but they were hard fast kicks. Only one of them was close by the net, the other ones were a solid respectable distance away.

Soccer is a very easy sport; my upper body didn’t even get tired what so ever. My legs were working well but I have decent cardio. I have no idea why people believe this sport is so difficult to play. I understand I am not playing at a major league level but I don’t even play soccer and I scored 60% of our teams goals. One guy headed the ball in while the other bicycle kicked it in. So since I didn’t feel any upper body power strains I went to play bball after I thanked them for letting me play. I then went home and did a high volume bodyweight workout. I got the Iron Gym yesterday so I did 100 chinups, 100 pullups, 100 pushups, 300 situps, 100 dips and 100 of the other type of pull ups were the two bars come straight out. Anywho, I still had the energy to do all of that after playing a soccer game which lasted at least an hour

I tried it out bros, soccer really isn’t that hard.
