I'm not sure what to make of Kroenke at this point. He's had a primary position in the club for two or three years now. He hasn't given any indication thus far that he's just trying to take profit from the club.... though its entirely possible.

Another American owner in the EPL

Just lookin around after what CB said.

In Italy, Sampdoria are one point away from relegation.

In France, Monaco are one point away from relegation.

And Germany, he mentioned Wolfsburg already, but Stuttgart are another team who are in the relegation battle.

Crazy stuff. Just as crazy as Bale being sold for anything low. With all the hype, (one trick pony) and all the foreign interest, if he leaves hell be expensive.

Also, just more rumors, but apparently Man Utd £17.5m deal for David de Gea | Football | The Sport Review

I would love it, I would love Adler more, but with Nauer basically set for Bayern, ill take this kid. Apparently the agreement is done, just waitin on Da Gae to decide if he wants to leave Spain or not.

I agree. Of all the leagues. After them Prem, the Germans are the next best to watch. Always a fun game or two.

One of the best things about my Xbox now, since they signed the deal with ESPN. On ESPN3, every weekend they have about 2-5 German games on. Last week I watched Bayern and Nurnberg draw. Kraft blew it, but it was also nice to see Timmy Chandler go up against and did not too shabby against Ribery. This upcoming weekend, Bayern Munich and Leverkusen play, and before that its the Classico. All on ESPN3 for watching amongst other games.

Also, I dont expect Kjaer to stay, and Diego Bennaglio (sp) should leave too, hes been good enough to play elsewhere if they do go down.

No more time to fuck around for Man City.

We're unleashing John Flanagan today. Be afraid, be very afraid.

Love me some Bundesliga. I watch just as much of it as I do EPL at this point and its just as entertaining. The financial aspects of the league are interesting, and I love the fact that they have kept it affordable for the fans, even if that does mean they get less money from just attendances. I do think they need to do more in European competition to really get the respect from fans everywhere, but they are getting there...

 

[BigHouseUSA]

Bundesliga is easily my number two, unfortunately it's behind La Liga on GolTV, so we get one, maybe two live games a weekend. I go with streams when a major game is on, though. Also, St. Pauli have a sausage train, you can't really beat that.

One plus, is being able to drink in the stands at a Bundesliga match. Here in England you can't unless you sneak it in, you can only drink in the concourses. But a lot of grounds don't even sell alcohol in the away concourses.

Wait wut?

There's no beer in the seats during English football matches?

 

[CaribbeanJoseph]

No better time than now to score your first goal Andy.

 

[killgod]

Mental. Don't think the MLS would have gotten off the ground with that rule.

What about a World Cup? Would they have that rule in place?

 

[BigHouseUSA]

Could see that right when it fell to him. Typical Carroll.

 

[CaribbeanJoseph]

YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS

 

[mgoblue2290]

Finally got his first goal. We came out firing on all cylinders too, going to be hard to keep this pace up.

 

[CaribbeanJoseph]

Tevez off injured as well, nice :redsmug:

e: Super Mario on though

 

[mgoblue2290]

What a possession. Way to bury it Dirk.

 

[BigHouseUSA]

Great finish and great start for Liverpool, but Christ, City never looked up for this.

 

[CaribbeanJoseph]

All fucking over these cunts

 

[BigHouseUSA]

Send it in and he will score.

Kind of looked like an own goal, though.

 

[mgoblue2290]

Nice to see what Carroll looks like in form.
