OT: Soccer/Football Thread

[1865]

I know, but this pales anyway compared to the entertainment of the David "Chosen One" Moyes regime.

The more time passes the more I think Moyes was given a poisoned chalice. Ferguson stayed for as long as he could and took the last embers of that fire before jumping ship. Moyes inherited a squad that was full of players either too young or too old and wasn’t given the same luxury of time that Ferguson was afforded. Van Gaal and Mourinho have since proven that success isn’t a pre-requisite at United and like Revie, Clough and soon to be Wenger - it’s impossible to replace a legend.

Definitely. Liverpool fans have been living with this for a long time, too.

I still can't believe they gave the CL contract to TNT and their one station. What a s***show.

Did this just happen?

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Did this just happen?

No, but I just got back to America in June and found out, Toe. They can only show one match at a time and it pisses me off. I was reminded because I am watching the baseball game and they had a promo for CL.

That’s stupid. Had no clue it was like that now.

Union playoff game currently in FS1

They suck as much as the Flyers do

 

[Jray42]

Well this is going swimmingly

It's like watching 4 Amacs 4 Jori's and 3 weise's on the field

With Pickard in net

 

[trostol]

Wasn't that the score of the last game also...against the same team?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Oh Liverpool.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Oh Liverpool.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Every time I see Steve Nash I’m baffled.

Every time I see Steve Nash I’m baffled.

Why?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Why?

The hell is he doing as the main commentary guy for the Champions League?

Everything about TNT having the CL is a Gong Show, and he is the biggest "Huh?" of them all. Totally ****ing stupid.

I always do something else during the beginning/halftime/or ending of games, so it doesn’t really bother me. Only way I’d watch is if they got Maradona in there.

I may dislike Khedira more than MacDonald.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

I’m gonna go crawl in a hole.

We finally know the question to the answer, “42”.
