I just want to wish you all good luck. I'm not coming back in here lol

 

[Deadpool8812]

Sweet! I'm glad that we can discuss the CFL here!

 

[FrustratedFlyer]

Middle eastern oil money + pathetic young kids + pigs ass + very low general intelligence levels = football. Enjoy all I'll be emulating the Cat and won't be in here

 

[FlyerFaithful17]

Been a bit of an Everton fan since Brian McBride was loaned there. Became a big fan at the start of NBC's coverage of the Premiership in 2013 and the Blues set their BPL best with 73 points.

Voicing how you hate soccer is really cool and original....

Except for Cap*

I don't hate it - the opposite, actually. I just can't let it ruin our camaraderie.

NOW I'm leaving.

No youre not

 

[kudymen]

No reason to post it. I just felt like doing it

It looks like I have failed to camouflage my complete lack of self-control. Damn it.

Arsene Wegner = Dave Hakstol

Arsene Wegner = Dave Hakstol

No way! He's actually won SOMETHING and is very animated.

At first yes, but now some of his decisions are mind boggling from what I hear from Arsenal fans

He's completely washed up. He was revolutionary when he first got to England, but he's a spent force. He still hasn't replaced Patrick Viera all these years later - it's the tip of the iceberg, but it's a very big tip, which if I'm not mistaken is, word for word, what she said.

The Vieira departure was such an unbelievable failure

I don't think the Man U bandwagon fandom is as bad now as it was a few years back when I first started getting into soccer, but their fans here have always screamed 'front runner' to me. The worst kind of fan.

He's just unbelievably stubborn. That was fine for a long time, when his ideas were working, but you start bleeding Henrys and Fabregases and Vieras, and Bergkamps and Overmarses etc., you are going to be in trouble. How they could persist so long with Walcott, who makes Neuvy look like Iron Man, and Wilshire, who chain smokes like a champ, is anyone's guess. They need to make a smart hire next and take some time to rebuild it all and they will be fine. With that stadium, they have plenty of money.

I have always believed that Walcott mainly wanted to keep Rosický company and Wenger started to believe he was running a hospital

And Ramsey is just as brittle, too - he's a better footballer than the other two (no offense to your countryman), but he just can't go more than a week or two without falling to pieces.

The only reason I'm a Man U fan is cause of Eurotrip. Otherwise I'm gonna follow Captain's footsteps and leave this thread(and maybe comeback).

Don't want to ruin the Flyers fun with football club talk.

I was too stupid to leave, actually lol

 

[Hakroach]

It's been a weird season as all my teams are doing pretty well. The Flyers, the Eagles, Jokerit Helsinki in KHL and even Liverpool is not doing their best to ruin the season! I sometimes feel that I have chosen all the most fatalistic teams to support...
