The Official Football (soccer) Banter thread! (Including transfer rumors) - Off-topic

So yeah banter.
I'll start, Manchester city and Chelsea bought their way to success, they used oil rich tycoons to get to the top without the money they provided Chelsea and city would be a lower table club fighting for relegation.

I have no idea what this thread is all about but just wanted to say hi mate :laugh::silly:

You are one of the fake glory hunter fans... Of MU... nothing else.... Criticizing other teams
It doesn't matter if team is built by buying good players or by developing young talent...
What matters is the game and passion for club...
A true United fan would encourage City and Chelsea... For a better competition...
Winning with pride is what matters...

Because he is not that good, his playing style isn't really that great. It sits in the rivals general goalpost area and waits for the ball.

Exactly but that's what Van Persie does too...
The formation leaves no option for the striker apart from waiting as midfield is handled by Rooney :thumbup:

Good point...he seems to do better by playing only a few minutes in the game. Also...for those complaining about his soccer skills...haters gonna hate...he still scores more often than most high end footballers I reckon
That;s his job...to be there to push the ball in :cyclops:

You seem to not be well acquainted with football, then, it seems. Other strikers not only score, but provide assists too.. he can hardly play a full 45 minutes let alone score and assist..

I was born in manchester, raised in manchester, i have been to games, i have done the tour, i have the kit, i have always supported them.
How am i a glory supporter?
Why would i encourage my cross city rivals, are you absolutely crazy?

Also this can be a transfer rumor thread, i decided.
Nani to Juventus sounds likely.
Snijder to Manchester United sounds unlikely

Yes Sam!! I support Chelsea lads, and I think benitez is a twat. And hopefully falcao will be a summer recruit although I doubt it :L

Exactly, he is an excellent old fashioned goal poacher, his pace and intelligence keeps him one step ahead, it takes a good football brain to always be their and score those important goals!

Cameron was nice to look at! I'm a Days of Our Lives fan though. Hmm...if Marie can add a little more content to her dances and not faint, I think she'll be safe next week. I image she has a bigger fan base than Jenny Garth. Jenny is very graceful in the ballroom dances. I really enjoyed Cameron's Paso.

I know, but still, it confuses my poor brain when someone says football in america and referres to NFL.. I keep thinking football, as in soccer.
I don't understand how NFL is football. You kick the ball a few times, most of the time it is being carried or thrown... Oh well... I'm going to shut up now and get back on with some work I am meant to be doing....

Fantasy Footbal League - No Dues, Autopick, Flex (Yahoo)

Hey XDA,
I just made The Binary Huddle league on Yahoo, so if anybody wants to join here's the link.
-Autodraft
-No dues
-Flex spots (including WR/TE/RB/QB)
-Fun scoring
This is a casual league to have some good fun with a little smack talk. If you're an extremely intense fantasy player who feels that you should be paid as much as the players for what you do, this probably isn't for you

** Off-Topic Claim To Fame Thread **

Do you have a claim to fame? Did you go to school with Ozzy Osbourne or date Floella Benjamin? (Do you even know who she is?)
Here's mine...
I was in the swimming pool scene in "Holiday on the buses" (I was in a pram at the time).
I went to school & college with Jacqui Abbott, from The Beautiful South.
I was supported by The Verve when I was a solo performer, as a teenager.

They went to college in Wigan with my mate and we used to go clubbing with Richard Ashcroft. The band were pretty new when they supported me and I hate to say it, but they were TERRIBLE!!!
It was about 89/90 and Next thing I heard from them was Bittersweet Symphony. A bit of a change to say the least!
I also forgot to mention that I supported my favourite band EVER - The Cardiacs.
