Thread: The Official 2008-2009 Soccer Thread

A fun weekend to start things off. I had no idea Pompey would get thrashed, also Aston Villa looked good. I highly doubt we see Barry going to Liverpool...

I often wonder if barry is good enough for a top 4 team.

Man Citys Bojinov is out for six months with a torn achilles tendon, I believe he tore his knee ligaments in the first game of last season. 6 million pounds for 72 mins worth of work.

Similar questions surrounded Michael Carrick and he has been a key player on United's two title winning teams.

I think Barry can be successful in a similar role. He won't have to be the superstar of the team(like Carrick) he'll just have to keep possession, spray the ball around, and be responsible defensively. All things he is capable of.

That being said a move seems unlikely with him being cup tied.

brilliant start for tottenham.

berbatov came in around the 65th minute, but they didn't look much better with him. after the game Ramos insisted no offer had yet come in for him, not had berbatov specifically requested a transfer. Talk is talk. he could well be on the way to manchester.

Nice to see Deco put one in for Chelsea in his first match.

Dude was one of my favorite players for Barca, he just needed a change of scenery. Same goes for Ronaldinho!

Deco is one of the players I hate most. Little dirty SOB.

Dinho just gave up. **** him.


Now, with Deco... I have a reason to cheer Chelsea... just a little.

From what I have read, Ronaldinho and Deco needed to get as far away from each other as possible.
