No, I don't think you get what I meant.

Fulham, while not a fantastic team, are at least respectable.

I'd probably agree. Although when I look at the talent chelsea put on the field vs. what MLS did player for player, Chelsea was far superior, even if in the off-season.

But the MLS didn't just go through an exhibition, a 0-0 game squeakign by with a fluke goal at the end. They did take it to em. (as best they could anyway) And it was players in MLS who hadn't played together all year other than those who may have been on the US national team.

I just mean if they're capable of handling an out of shape Chelsea in an off-season exhibition game, they should more than be able to handle Celtic.

Ronaldo/Fatso is pretty much a done deal for AC Milan in case anybody cares. It will be interesting to see what he can do with Kaka playing behind him and Oliviera playing next to him...maybe he won't suck as much.

Also, I doubt Baptista will be welcomed back to Madrid considering they just signed Higuian and Gago. Not that they play similar positions or anything, but I think Capello and Co. are done signing brazilians for awhile.

Lastly, I can't wait for Real Madrid to piss Man U off over the forthcoming Cristian Ronaldo War of Summer 2007...

Chelsea players are bought and paid for by black market money. Their fans or firm etc have direct links with the BNP ( Nazi's) .

Plus Frank Lampard votes Conservative.

Today is FA Cup day. I love it and I recommend you all to catch some of it if it's it's shown on US TV. The FA Cup is the oldest and most respected Cup competition in the footballing world.

Good luck.

Bleh. The FA cup was GREAT last year, and after that final, I doubt I'll see another one that great (well, I hope I do, haha).

Seriously, after the Arse knocked Liverpool out, I guess all I care about is a team that's not in the top 4 winning it. Especially Man U...

Sorry Herman, and ASU, but they are going to get beat....heh heh, I know I jinxed it huh? =)

I thought I would tweak it a little for american readers...

Newcastle inquiring about Gooch


Please, Newcastle, do this. He is the young, fast, dominating center defender you need. Do this. Overpay if you have to. Do it. You need him. Do it now. You haven't signed anyone this transfer period and you need to, especially on defense where you're woefully thin. Do it. Now!

Gooch set to sign on loan with Newcastle
