The Football thread (EPL)

What a way to treat your former teammate.  Inexecusable.  I agree with you Gil, I hope the FA come down hard on him.  If Eduardo gets 2 matches for diving, Adebayor should at least get that much for this deliberate foul.  Perhaps UEFA and FIFA should be looking at this too, but I'm sure they won't.

That wasnt the only thing he did, despite needed banning for 6 months for such a malicious stamp, he also scored and ran the entire length of the pitch to the arsenal fans and celebrated on his knees in front of him. What a complete #$&*@!. The fans were going mental throwing stuff and trying to get at him and although this is another sad side of football; the hooliganism, i sympathise with them. if thats not inciting a riot i dont know what is.

[Gil-Estel]

agreed!

I'm an Arsenal fan and you have no idea the hatred that man inspires. He's definately overtaken Ashley Cole as our object of hatred. If I was at the game I don't know if I could have controlled myself any more than those fans. And I'm a really mild mannered person. He'd better get the book thrown at him.

no one here a fan of mexican fut?

[Gil-Estel]

nope, sorry, that is, not me. I can't judge cause I don't know it. I have seen Arsenal play football yesterday the way it is supposed to. Man, they were so awesome. If they could only keep it up for a whole season...sigh

I didn't see them but was following a text transcript as it happened.  Sounds like it was total domination.  Maybe the 2 losses scared them a bit so they're playing better.  I can wish, can't I

I saw Real Madrid dispatch Olympique Marseille yesterday. Awesome game, finished in 7 minutes. 3 goals in 7 minutes, Cristiano Ronaldo after a long pass, incredibly calm as he kicked the ball in; Cristiano Ronaldo, being fouled, resulting in a penalty kick converted by Kaká; Cristiano Ronaldo, after an amazing play between Kaká and Benzema.
