On the Eve of the new Season...

[Frank Gallagher]

I'd think it's safe to say Manchester is the epicenter of English football at this point in time.

you guys said it would not happen with city but tevez is again a winner

[Frank Gallagher]

Having Tevez on the field definately motivates the other lazy arses to step it up a notch.

I was rooting for Stoke but it was pretty obvious after the first 10 minutes it was going to be a lob-sided affair.

They're definitely going to be one of the stronger sides in the Europa League next season... ;-)

didn't carlito try and quit halfway through the season?

[hutch]

^yah he's a bit of a rabblerouser lately

and off the national side too

[Frank Gallagher]

No offense to any members with latin blood, but he's your typical cry-baby prima-donna south American professional athlete..

"WAH WAH WAH I a donna wanna play chere na mo"

Shut the f*ck up and go cash your paycheck! Oh, and FYI...THE UNIVERSE DOES NOT F*CKING ROTATE AROUND YOU.


*Where are we on the 'F' bomb these days? Can we use grown up words, just not in the subject title? Or not at all?

[godsshoeshine]

plenty of english prima donnas too. maybe even more so

[Frank Gallagher]

The English just shag their team mates wags....well the scumbags do anyway.

If you're referring to the Rooney saga I think there's more than meets the eye there, and I don't think that soap opera has run it's course yet.

I definately think the south americans are much more tempramental (sp?) than their European counterparts. Just from a ref standpoint, if I see a team of south americans warming up I know I'm in for amature dramatics and a lot of whining and complaining. If it's a bunch of Europeans then I'm in for a bit of name calling. "You blind twat" etc. but not much more. Amuurcan players tend to behave more like the You'reapeein teams, with a bit of diving thrown in.

less tempermental toward refs? have you ever seen a chelsea match??

They don't count.....or matter.

[godsshoeshine]

i dont know man. its hard for me to name members of the english national team that arent awful jerks

(we arent allowed to say f'ing c's right?)

[hutch]

its cultural...a lot of south american players come from countries where there is no law

i am sick of it myself

[vansmack]

And how on earth are you referencing temperamental footballers comparing Latin Americans to Euro's and not once mentioned the Italians?

Yep...you're right, bad choice of words on my part. I was 'thinking' British, Irish, German, French, Dutch and Scandinavians (northern Europeans?) so just gouped them as Europeans. The Italians most certainly give the south americans a run for their money. The Spanish as well to a lesser degree.
