Mme Erzulie Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 So, is anyone else watching the Pompey - Fulham game? It's crazy, gung-ho attacking footie. It's currently 2-1 Portsmouth, but it could easily have been 3-1 or 3-2. PL at it's best (or at least most enjoyable). I'll be in chat if anyone wants to watch it together.

Jon AS Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Meh, the Bundesliga is going to be very frustrating for me this season as it looks like Bayern are going to run away with it. What a depressing thought. I just wish I could be neutral about them but I remember way too many horrible games and lucky victories to be able to appreciate them now that they are playing well for a change.

I just wish I could be neutral about them but I remember way too many horrible games and lucky victories to be able to appreciate them now that they are playing well for a change. Yeah, I was listening to some commentators saying it was a race for second before the season even started, and I was a little surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon AS Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Yeah, I was listening to some commentators saying it was a race for second before the season even started, and I was a little surprised. Bayern spent about 70 million on new players (and allegedly offered Luca Toni a higher salary than Barca were willing to pay him), an unprecedeted sum in German football. I kept hoping the many stars would fail to work together as a team but apparently that was a vain hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibandar Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I saw a summary of the Bremen-Bayern match and really liked Bayern. They've completely revitalized their squad. They cut away some useless players and bought good ones like the now excellent French playmaker Ribery and strikers Klose and Toni ( from Fiorentina). It's a shame we won't be seeing this Bayern in the Champion's League this year because they look much more attractive now. They have a seriously strong team now, with van Bommel and Lucio as other central pillars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koudoulis Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Ribery was A-W-E-S-O-M-E !! bayern played attractive , fast football and its still august.. its indeed damn shame that they do not compete in CL. i d really enjoy watching them trumping barcelona with all their self-sufficing supermegastars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koudoulis Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Talking about German Football is the best way to elevate this new thread to sainthood! come on you weird 4-4-2 supporters lets sing about the agile Kloze and the gentle soul of Kahn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJDonegal Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Hmm, back to the Premier League, please? Tottenham finally learned how to score. £40m on their strikeforce and 3 of their goals came from midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLU-RAY Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Bah, humbug... the local pub is showing Chelsea-Liverpool and the United-City derby tomorrow, and I'm going to be on a plane instead. Damn scheduling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudge Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 David Healy was very, very unlucky and Warner deserves to be shot for his blunder in the Fulham-Boro game. Utaka's goal for Pompey was fantastic. Such great speed and then a nice placement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Baelish Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 So Man City beat Man Utd 1-0. United really are just like Arsenal last season - lots of pretty play, but no penetration. And Micah Richards was immense for City. Definitely got a bright future ahead of him. Next up, Liverpool v Chelsea. Lets hope it's more entertaining than their CL games last season.

Calibandar Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Can't believe Man U lost, just when they really needed to win to keep the distance at least somewhat moderate with the other 3 big teams. Haven't seen the match yet but come on, even without Rooney and Ronaldo they should be able to take 3 points from matches like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman of the North Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Cal, I believe Man U had more than 10 corners, City none. In the first half City crossed into Man U's half maybe 6 times, had two shots, and one goal. In short, United was in total control of the gameplay, but somehow did not manage to take advantage of it.

Lord Baelish Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 That has to be the worst penalty decision I have ever seen. Liverpool were robbed there. Styles had a shocking match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonius Pius Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Hmm, back to the Premier League, please? Come on man, show some love. I know England and Germany aren't exactly football-friends, but come on... This IS a football thread, not a premier league-thread. And Martin Jol is a good manager. I don't know why the press devised a disaster-mood (according to Match of the Day it was the press throwing up the shit), but after two matches... Spurs will do fine, I don't doubt. Of course, spending that amount of money sets expectations, maybe too high, but qualifying for European football should be possible. And wtf is going on with Man U?

Jon AS Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 So back to the Bundesliga, which would be one of the most interesting and balanced leagues in the world if it wasn't for Bayern. Hamburg is the only non-Bavarian team to win their first two games and I am now really hoping that van der Vaart sticks around for another season: he avoided getting lynched by angry HSV fans by proving what an asset he can be to the team and stepping up and scoring the winner from the spot. Who knows, maybe Hamburg can mount a serious title challenge this season (if they do they are probably going to struggle against relegation again next year...).

Slick Mongoose Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 That has to be the worst penalty decision I have ever seen. Liverpool were robbed there. Styles had a shocking match. I agree, but I do wish Andy Gray would find something else to talk about apart from the ref. Can't stand that guy. ETA: Did any one else see Lehmann's howler?
