I just wanted to come in this thread to say the word SOCCER.
Hopefully someone will get mad at me.
Im just really surprised a thread entitled SOCCER has a blasphemous 91 pages. I guess you folk really like the word SOCCER.


In all seriousness though im growing to like SOCCER. Watched abit during the Olympics and was like, damn this shit is tense! You can cut the tension with a spork!

Generally though, im a Baseball fan. Cause generally it's the best sport there is. Dont call it Rounders you assholes. :D

Rounders is a different sport. It's like saying Badminton and Tennis are the same, or American Football and Rugby are the same.

Trivia time... Soccer is just an old nickname for Association Football, and it stuck despite it only being a 'brand' of Football, kinda like how we call Vacuum Cleaners 'Hoovers' and Americans call Fax Machines a 'Xerox'.

Haahaa rounders. Used to play that as a kid.

I am so happy this day is here!!! Firsm day of the season!! Up early, cup of tea, a full soda and the First Football focus on BBC1. Right guys, so whos in your dreamteam?? Heres mine below, and locked in as of today:

Ben Foster - West Brom
Nathaniel Clyne - Southhampton
Vincent Kompany - Man City
Ron Vlaar - Aston Villa
Shinji Kagawa - Man United
Marouane Fellaini - Everton
Gareth Bale - Spurs
Robin van Persie - Man United
Fernando Torres - Chelsea
Wayne Rooney - Man United

Pretty happy with it, and decided to go with 4-3-3 since i think this season is going to set a new "goals scored" record.

West Ham cant even sell out their current ground and they really think they are the best choice for the Olympic stadium? Don't ruin that place by turning it into a football ground.


Done my fantasy football team with Sky and have taken a little risk on Defoe as you simply cant be sure he will get the games.

It ain't about that. The government wants to use it for further use beyond just football. Spurs on the other hand want to knock it down and rebuild it as a purpose-built football stadium, which is not only pointless but a massive waste of money. West Ham are the only other side who could utilise a stadium such as that, so they are the natural choice. Not only that, but do you really want them to move even further away from Tottenham?

As i said i don't want it to be ruined by football full stop and of course i don't want Spurs to have it. Hell they have already been told if they did some how get the ground they would have a the Tottenham name taken away.

Bit pissed off with our board always trying to take the cheap route. We have the permission to build a new ground just down the road from where we are now so make use of it.

Two 5-0's already!


I thought we got rid of Gallas but his starting against Newcastle. So much for the papers who have been saying he was released.

Sooner Spurs sack Levy the better. Never ready for the start of the season :roll:

Modric should have been sold 2 weeks ago and a striker should have been bought in and when will they just accept that 4-5-1 does not work with the players we have.

Are you mad bro? Levy has done a lot for that club, they're in a fucking fantastic place now, especially in comparison to the mid-table mediocrity they used to provide season after season. He's done a good job, and he knows how to treat players that are angling for a move - he made sure he got bare bucks for Berbatov, and look how that worked out for Fergie! Yeah Modric is being a dick but then most players do the same if they hear of Real Madrid or Barcelona's interest in them. It's the holy land for all players apparently, I can't see why though?
