Looking to refund my Iberia Airline ticket to Munich- The Other Teams' Thread - [R]

Has got a glass knee+with Eva at Chelsea he'll be permanent on medic table+only played one great season+at 29 & with torres it'll be several issues like egoism, less resale value, huge contract etc+he dislikes us+rather have Lukaku.

 

BvB's CFO Joachim Watzke has joined Beckenbauer, Reinhard Rauball and the rest of the DFB for Blatter's resignation.

 

The English FA is the only other FA to have made their feeling so public. Hopefully we can join forces against the evil.

 

how is russia and qatar getting world cups blatter's doing? I am pretty sure each continental organization and its members made the vote...

 

He took their bribes at a guess...

 

there is no evidence he took bribes personally or he wouldn't still be president... or am I being too naive about the whole thing... i dislike blatter as much as the next guy but what good does it do to embellish whatever he did or didn't do.

 

Still... at least he's a lot corrupt than the other people who stood on the FIFA ballot...

 

big loss for us fern. evans also wont be ready at the start due to off season surgery. down to a class, but oft injured rio and a ? around vida. oh, that and a poor positional cb in jones.

 

Where exactly do you plan on playing Jones? He rather than Luiz has always reminded me of Neville's silly Playstation quip.

 

Blatter has overseen a culture of corruption for decades. He has handed out patronage in return for support, which is why FIFA is full of his cronies and has absolutely no transparency. Honestly, who in the world is voting for a tournament in Qatar in the summer on the basis of merit? I'm not overly enthused about Russia getting the 2018 Cup either, but that at least makes a lot more sense.

 

yea, were in for a slow start i reckon. euros, olympics, injuries. to be expected. coould be coommon for all the big bys though.

 

im not sure fergie even knows yet nice..unfortunately cb i expect, due to injury's. possibly midfield. i think he actually played way more than even we expected last year due to our injuries. but hes clearly not ready for a cb role with us yet.

he tends to do least damage at a midfield spot where the likes of carrick can hold his hand, so hopefully this is the plan.

 

I do wonder if Fergie ultimately sees him as the solution to the box-to-box midfielder you've been missing for years, because he just don't have the positional awareness to play at RB or CB. There's talent there, but it's not allied to a footballing brain at the moment; though who knows what will happen in a few years.

 

Obviously I'd have liked it to be in England but I don't think anyone can seriously say Russia isn't entitled to it or isn't due.

But, as you say, QATAR??? WTF?

What's next, Greenland? Bottom of the Mariana trench, perhaps?

 

Tonga, Tahiti, Hawaii and Bali... If the WC were held there, I might go.

 

Somewhere with a long and glorious football tradition, y'mean? Well, yeah... I can see that

AVB being AVB in the Modric fiasco.

"I think Modric is wrong. This will go against him," Villas-Boas is reported as saying in Spanish newspaper AS. "He has worsened the situation with what he's doing and now the chairman [Daniel Levy] is very angry.
"This is also not a good time for Daniel Levy, who is in the USA at the moment, because his wife is ill."
