eh...I think he is right to be honest with you. Everyone has had sex. It is great and all but very few people get to be part of a championship team.
Luton won the Conference last night and are back in the football league. Rollercoaster times for their fans having been in the championship not long ago and had 3 successive relegations due to financial troubles. More amazingly, this is their 30 year old midfielder, a fully fledged professional athlete
Everton I like Martinez and would liked to have seen his boys in the CL. Gonna be tough for em now though.
I wouldn't exaggerate on that. Manchester City are 6 points off with 1 game in hand, so basically 1 game off the pace... Plus Liverpool meet Chelsea, so at least one of their contenders will drop points, if not both. That said Liverpool does have a pretty easy home game vs Newcastle on final day and two easy away games. However if Liverpool lose vs Chelsea and both teams end up on equal points Man City will likely have the better GD.
Real Madrid won the Copa del Rey against Farça 2-1, with an amazing goal by Gareth Bale, and Benfica eliminated Porto from the Taça de Portugal with an amazing goal by André Gomes. 16/04/2014: The day football won!
If Liverpool lose to Chelsea I don't think that will matter because Chelsea will most likely win the league.
I wanna know how much more magic dust is under Atletico Madrid's pillow right now. They're having a sensational year so far, given the comparative lack of quality they have to their primary competitions. Are they serious contenders for the CL? I don't think so. I think Simeone forfeits the CL after a poor first leg and then focuses on the league solely. And should the next few league games pan out in Real Madrid's favor and result in a tie between RM and AM, will Barca do their rivals a favor by beating Atletico? I don't think that's likely to happen either. They obviously hate us more than Atletico. They will likely let them have a win on purpose, although that'd be violating the "spirit of competition".
Mourinho is one lucky SOB Atleti-Chelsea will definitely be a great match to watch. Both teams hate possession football, so it's gonna be an open attacking game IMO. I fancy atleti's 4-4-2 watertight defence to have an upper hand though.
So after calming down a bit What is up with the main midget for them? I'm not buying this "he is saving himself for the world cup". He had a free kick at one point and it landed up nearly outside the stadium saving yourself for the WC or not that is quite uncharacteristic, body language is also all completely wrong. Maybe Neymar coming in has had a bad impact on the team, complete opposite to Cristiano and Bale here.
So you don't believe whatsapp messages. I'm guessing the main midget needs a change of scenery. Simple as that.
You kind of feel bad for the midget. He is one of the greatest but too bad he has to play for that team. It is also a total disrespect to him to be paying Neymar 1 billion to play for the team and do it in secrecy too.
For what? For not giving a s*** about the club that gave him everything, and only caring about some WC? Hope that little piece of s*** loses against Bosnia and Iran!
He is saving himself for WC to some extent + its a problem in "tactics" - the "creator" of Messi`s role was Pep and that Barca was fundementaly different from todays Barca but coaches still persist with Pep`s ideas despite being unable to replicate them - and this is probably having a big impact on Messi. The last thing is probably Neymar as you said. Buying such a player - marketed as superstar - will obviously cause frictions with the "real" superstar which is Messi. As for Cristiano and Bale, maybe situation is different due to nature of Bale ( more humble guy ), but still it will be a "colosal" challenge for any coach to devise a plan in which those two can work together.
This saving himself for the WC is a bit ridiculous no? Above all what makes players like Messi and Ronaldo great is they are competitors I don't believe for one minute he is holding back in a CL elimination tie or Cup final in the "hope" he is fresh for the World Cup. Something is wrong but that isn't it, it's a joke which has taken on a rather misguided life of its own imo.
Yeah, the WC narrative is hilariously dumb. It's a combination of factors, mostly that their transfers over the last few years, specifically Cesc and Neymar, messed up the model they had going. Messi is a special player, but he needs to play in a special role to take advantage of his talents. If the Barcelona board wasn't hilariously incompetent, they would have collected even more silverware than they did over the past 5 years.
