Re: Spurs Beats Newcastle, Arsenal and Chelsea to Land £20 Million Star Midfielder Luka Modric

you can't say spurs beat arsenal and some other teams to get the player because they've long ago pulled out of the race to sign him...

M. Taylor doesn't seem to like Croats... so don't play him again Birmingham City, I can already hear snapping lol

Re: Chelsea v Manchester United: Video Evidence of Penalty Decision

damir — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 14:02:08 -0000

lol i like that comment...
"if you can jump without lifting your arm, then that's something else"

Eh well, it's only a talking point, just like the numerous penalties that were not awarded to Arsenal this season.

West ham pose Man united the most problems, especially over the last few season, I can't wait to see how that turns out...

And the same goes for Chelsea and Newcastle... Toon's playing pretty good now and I'm starting to regret making harsh comments about KK, but Chelsea haven't had the best of luck when they've traveled to St. James's park...

It WAS a penalty and will stay a penalty...

Re: It’s Time for the Premier League to Concede Defeat in Video Highlights Fight

damir — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 14:06:56 -0000

I think they do a good job of protecting when it comes to You Toob or google video...

It's when it comes to foreign sites that the problem gets out of their control.

I can't remember the last time I watched game highlights on You Toob... they're all blocked.

Just go to Footytube.com, it's pretty good. A lot of highlights too.

Re: Chelsea 2-1 Man United: Premier League Title is Up for Grabs

damir — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 17:02:27 -0000

I agree with you 99% man...

I disagree that Man Utd have been dominant all season... maybe 3/4th's of it.

Although they drew AT Barcelona and lost AT the Bridge, they still have a chance at the double...

OMG stfu, it was a penalty, he handled it inside the box, and in the heat of the moment the referee was in no position to turn it over, cuz he apparently didn't see it as clearly as the linesman did, or me on my TV

Re: Ronaldo is PFA Player of the Year, Fabregas is Young Player of the Year

damir — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 12:00:00 -0000

I think you're a little bitter and judging by all your other articles you're not that big of an Arsenal fan, even though you say you 'respect' them and you're a neutral.

Besides that, Arnold is right, Fabregas is only 20.

I think you should be arguing to change the way the PFA votes and nominees are brought up. Not that Fabregas has won it.

I'm an Arsenal fan and I think Ronaldo does deserve the PFA Player of the Year award.

Although you are right to say that Fabregas shouldn't be considered a young player in terms of talking about the 100+ premiership appearances he has contributed for the Arsenal, but when you look at his age he's 20 years old... probably just the same age as you.

A nice read, I like it when you make these blogs about stadiums, just because I haven't been to any other stadium than the Emirates...
Which is magnificent btw.

But you didn't necessarily have to get rid of the "read more" option.
I was just kind of frustrated that it opened in a new page when i'd click more.
would it still be slow if it opened on the same page, but just kind of extended...?

Bad ass.

Is anyone from EPL Talk going to that?

I'm debating with myself... I'd like to see them up close but those tickets are too much fro me, so I might do the next best thing, 97$...

Re: Champions League Final–Halftime Thoughts

I agree... just not with that final comment that Man utd will win it...

Drogba has yet to score.

*** Depending on how soon or if Avram Grant makes substitutions we will know is Chelsea are going to play for extra time... just like the Liverpool game.

Re: Manchester United–The Champions of Europe | EPL Talk

i don't agree that the best team won it this year, as it's more of a case that the luckiest team won.

Re: Euro ‘08 Preview–Group B

damir — Tue, 27 May 2008 22:12:21 -0000

After Group C, I rate this as the most competitive group. Why?
Well It's simple, even though Eduardo is out for Croatia they're still able to win games. And that was shown at Wembley (I know Dudu played, but he didn't score).

And mate, if you're talking sense, I'd hate to see stupid. Because Poland, with ONE point!? That's just insane. They've been strolling through the qualifications. They have a better chance to advance than Hervatska.

Then, Austria with two draws? They're a host nation, so that won't happen. I though Deutschland wouldn't do anything in the '06 WC but home field advantage is a BIG one.

Then, check out who's been scoring all the goals for Bayern Munich lately, it's been Luca Tonia and Frank Ribery, no sight of Miroslav Klose. I admire the guy because he can score, but I'm just saying, he's dropped in his performances at the wrong time. I dig their striker core, and apart from a solid, solid midfield, I see a leaky defense.

Just because I don't see a lot of conservative play in these match-up's I'm going to go with low points for the teams that advance, even lower than 7.

this is why having a Russian billionaire in charge of everything is a bad idea, I'd like to see the same thing happen to UTD but it won't and now everyone should realize why Arsenal aren't allowing takeovers.

Re: Dunne and Dos Santos to join Ramos’ White Hart Lane Revolution

damir — Fri, 30 May 2008 13:57:26 -0000

didn't they say the same things about Spurs last season?

dos santos is kind of overrated, especially for his age, plus he's got the field of arrogance and incompetence when he plays.

Dunne's not that bad, but will he play at the lane?

for my shirt, I'd like an Italy home jersey, with Vieri 21 on the back, if possible. If not, then Luca Toni or Del Piero will do fine.

Re: Who’s Mad Enough To Become Chelsea’s Next Manager?

scolari, klingsman, van basten won't do it.

I'll do it... hit me Roman, I got what it takes.

It won't be ZOLA because they want immediate results (encase you can't tell), and a new manager doesn't offer them success right away as he has to get acquainted and fit in first.

Ottmar Hitzfeld...?
I know he's going to the Swiss but money is a big tool...

Re: Swiss Show The World How To Run A Football Tournament | EPL Talk

sounds like fun.
but how do they make a profit from the fans by not charging the transportation, that's one of the main money things...?
But it is the Swiss and their currency is the strongest in the world, so i guess they don't need the money.
I wonder if it's the same in Austria?
The USA wouldn't be able to duplicate what the Swiss do because of the geographical size of the countries.

Re: Holland 1-3 Russia - Arshavin On Top Of The World

damir — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 01:37:47 -0000

u should stay anonymous for that silly comment.

Not only did I say that Holland would continue their trend of buckling under pressure but I told everyone that the reason they won 3 straight was LUCK.

I didn't see the Turkey - Croatia game turning that way.

And I said the same thing about Portugal that I mentioned about Holland and I'll repeat it for Spain.

Re: Holland 1-3 Russia - Arshavin On Top Of The World

damir — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 14:15:54 -0000

If Turkey make it to the final I will buy and deliver you a Turkish team jersey, cuz' there is no way I see them going past the Germans.

But I'll admit that the Russians are sensational so far and I'm cheering for them, I really am, but whether Spain or Italy win I can't see them blowing past either of those powerhouses.

Arshavin though, DAMN!

VDS was excellent that's why the Dutch ONLY conceded 3 goals.
