On the Eve of the new Season...

[Barcelona]

I'm so mad with Mourinho's behaviour. This is the perfect example of someone within football that promotes violence.

Shockingly, and I would add appallingly, that game was not available in the US without pay per view.  Not surprisingly, we missed the game of the day, and most likely the week.

Tottenham took it right to them this weekend.  And Terry had a complete meltdown.  Great match start to finish.
 
 Paled in comparison to the heavyweight battle between Wenger and Pardew.  Shocked that Arsenal lost with such disgrace...

 must be the time of year for meltdowns, carr and parker (!!!) both had some issues with the crowd at st james park

I wasn't going to bring up Newcastle for fear that the Maggies, combined with the Steelers, combined with Penn State and JoePa brekaing his leg might have been too much for you to handle.

who are these people and what do they have to do with gilbert arenas, malkin and crosby?

[vansmack]

Haha, go Ducks!

[Barcelona]

Actually, the weekend didn't start very well on Saturday with Barcelona drawing in Galicia against Deportivo La Coruña, but ended nicely with Chelsea losing to Totenham (my team in London) and Real Madrid losing at home against Celta de Vigo. Actually, the press and fans in Madrid on Sunday morning were already saying that they had already caught Barcelona in the table, but late in the afternoon, they were even further down. And Capello saying that Real Madrid had played the best game in the season, that is great!

so the freddy adu to england rumors (or rumours) are flying again. sounds like he really wants to go to a big 4 team, which is a mistake
 
 unless he decides to play for the u.s. or ends up on tyneside (might be a good fit, wont happen) i could really care less, but he should go (even if on loan) to a lower to mid table team where he can get on the pitch regularly with the first team
 
 thoughts?

Is he 18 yet?  I think he'll have to wait until the summer transfer window.
 
 And yes he should go to England, and no it shouldn't be to a big 4, although it will be a big 4 team that signs him, and they'll put him on loan like the other US players that are on Big 4 Rosters (Spector, Howard, Rossi).
 
 Perhaps Bobby Convey can show him the way here.  His career has certainly blossomed since he decided to play for Reading.  He should not talk to that little pusst Landon Donavon however, who couldn't cut it in Germany so he left.  Three times.
