I know some may hate it, but honestly I love the eNe-effect that I bring to the post size of this thread. :blueeyedbaby: OK, where were we?. . . The Champions league action of this week turned out to be an unexpected GOALeada. Especially in tuesdays games there was no limit of scoring. Except of Porto-D.Kiyw match, all the games ended with 3 or more goals. Of course the main game of the day was Juventus - Real Madrid, and Juve took care of business. (BTW, I wish Ange was around). Del Piero scored an amazing goal, leaving Casillas with no other option but watching the ball curling, till it ended up at the bottom of the net. Also, one of the best goals of the day was Alievs freekick that gave the victory to Dinamo Kiyw over Porto. Villareal won 6:3, and Lyon 3:5 were easy games on paper, but they actually had to make comebacks in order to win. Arsenal took care of Fenerbahçe (2:5), with Fabregas opening the game with two mesmerizing assists on two straight possesions, and they never looked back after that. In my own opinion about the greatest passers ever, Rui Costa used to be #1 by a landscape, but with the way he is playing, Fabregas has already made it to #2, and keeps forcing the top spot. Barcelona tied the record for the best visitor team victory, winning 0:5 against Basel. Bayern won 3:0 against Fiorentina, and that was actually the best game so far. Fiorentina had lots of oppurtunities, but luck and selfishness was their opponent during the game. While speaking of this game, and mixing it with Atletico-Liverpool, and ManU-Celtic games, the winger referees completely failed during these games. Goals of Klose, R.Keane, and both goals of Berbatov were offsides, while clear goals of Rooney, Bennayoun, and Agüero (he was on side, for more than a meter) were canceled for off side positioning. Another crazy moment on UCL, was the second goal of Panathinaikos, where in their first attempt, Werders Mesut Özil standing next to the post made an amazing save to the ball that was on the line, and had already passed the keeper. However, the ball still ended up in the net, on the second attempt. Anyway, back with some news. Maybe you all know, but David Beckham will be playing for AC Milan in the second half of the season. According to a local news channel there is no odd left for the temporary loan. And the best news for Arsenal fans, is that Eduardos ankles healing has quite progressed. He is expected to make a comeback in early December, which is great news considerind the injury he had.

Instead, I think Barca is the hardest opponent out of them all on the championship run. Messi, Henry (speaking of whom, did you see his goals against Atletico and Tunisia? ), and especially Eto'o really started great, and as if that wasn't enough, my man Hleb is back. But I guess that's nothing that D.Villa can't handle, cause when it comes to direct meetings, we'll still manage to beat them somehow, at least in Mestalla. Actually, as of direct games, I'm scared to death from Villareal. Last year they had double 3:0 victories, with lots of missed opportunities against us. Hopefully this year it will be a different story. However the fact remains that they are playing w/out their best player of last season Nihat. This team is still an unopened box. I don't like Sevilla, Real, and Atletico a lot this season, especially compared to last season. Real plays a little crappy, but you gotta keep an eye on them, cause they always end up winning the games somehow. They have lots of players who can change the destiny of some crucial games all by themselves, *makes sure SympathysSilhouette is not around* But I'm pretty optimist about the direct games with them. If Atletico Madrid fails to win this week against Villareal (which is more than likely considering they'll play in ElMadrigal), they definitely won't be able to make it to the top4. I guess they'll throw a towel a little too early. Sevilla plays great at the moment, but there are still lots of question marks about them. They lost two of my favourite players to Barca, and Keita was the one who was cutting opponent attacks, and he is a great scorer for his position as well. And as long as Navas started great, I don't think he can cover the whole effect that Daniel Alves was bringing to the right wing. And now with Kanoute out for three weeks, I hope they'll take a hit somewhere, somehow. I hope that too, cause w/out him, we are a medicore team. However, the odds are sucky, cause the better he'll play, the more they'll offer, and with the way he currently plays I expect an unrefuseable offer. And he is my top pick out of any "player" at the moment. He is amazing with the Spanish national team, always stepping up when it counts, and continously helping the others during the game, even in games that he doesn't score. Manchester City will make lots of signings the next season, in oreder to becaome the most powerful team of the Premier League. It seems like they have an eye at the best players of all my teams (Buffon, Cesc, Villa, and Benzema). And while I really hope that Villa will stay, I think that Villa-Benzema duo would be awesome to watch. BTW, speaking of M.City there is a rumor that they'll sign Ronaldo (R9) in January. If he gets back in action, this means City is automatically my 2nd favorite team in the Premier League. But I guess he'll need to lose some serious weight, in order to still be able to play on top level. We'll see. Since when not getting 18 points is group stages counts as choking? :anger: The only game that I'd count as choking is the game against Stoke, and every other team actually had a similar or worse choking already. If they avoid Chelsea this week, they are the #1 candidate to win the title. w/o Torres I'd say the draw is Liverpools gain. oh, and BTW. . . Why would you think I'm Swedish? Why? Because when I first started to come to the sports threads, it was saying so on your personal info. Seriously, you are from Sweden right? If you are not from Sweden, than tell me where are you from! just like this You know I'm just kiddin dude.

Sunderland fan huh? You guys are doing really great this season. There was also another shot by Cisse where the balll hit the post. You guys really deserved to get 3 points this week. But I guess you can count this out for the 2 points you stole from us *proud arsenal fan* j/k BTW. Sunderland is really one of my favorite teams to watch this season. It's nice to see new posters in football thread. I sure am It's feels good to see you guys Valencia will probably get Silva right at the time. They'll play Sevilla on Nov.23, and they'll meet in order Barca, Espanyol, Real M, Atletico M, and Villareal in late December, early January. I'd say the fixture is on their advantage, especially considering that they'll host Sevilla, Barca, and Real in the second half of the season. Hopefully they'll repeat the succsess of 2004, when they had won both LaLiga, and Uefa. Cause it looks like after this season, Villa will probably leave for M.City. Anyway, Richardsons freekick was amazing, too bad the goal was annuled. Even though the foul was obvious, the ball was too high to hit the wall. I don't get why teams are putting their own players on the wall, when they are going to shoot it directly(in Richardsons goal, they didn't even fake a pass). And don't count on Liverpool choking. This year they defeated ManU.

Hey peeps Have any of you guys watched the Fulam-Sunderland, and/or Stoke-Tottenham games this week? There were amazing moments, where the ball hit the post THREE times, in Richardsons free-kick, and the last minute penalty of Stoke. Anyway, Arsenal, and especially Liverpool are really doing great coming back from first half deficits this season. And Chelsea is doing really great on crushing their opponents, after they take the lead. I was expecting a draw for them this week against M'boro. FT: 0-5 :| In Spain, the Madrid derby was an amazing game to watch, and at the end there was a little course of what a defender SHOULDN'T DO in the last minute of the game. Barca is on roll, winning 7th straight game in LaLiga & UCL combined. Appearently they're gonna make Messi the highest payed Barcelona player ever. But the most important thing is Valencia kicks ass!!! Right Ed? In Italy, Juve keeps on craping on my title hopes. 4th straight game that we can't win, and yet to score more than once in a Serie A game. On the other hand the game of the week was Roma-Inter, and it was supposed to be a close game. But then a magician said "IBRA CADABRRA" , and the game turned into a blowout W for Inter. And the best news is, Ronaldinho is really getting back, and maybe as the season proceeds he'll become as good (if not better) of a player as he was in Barca. In UCL there are great games this week, headed by the infamous Juventus vs. Real Madrid Also Atletico-Liverpool, and Bayern-Fiorentina were supposed to be the games where players (such as Torres, Toni, Luis Garcia) will play against their former teams, but appearently Toni(maybe) and Torres(certainly) will miss the games. Honestly, there is nothing that I'd want more on wednsday action, than a Luis Garcia show. Sorry 'pool fans. But it turns out, that the odds of him becoming the player he used to be are really sucky. Anyway, when the season started I thought that Chelsea vs. Roma would be one of the best match-ups in the group stages, but the way things look right know, it'll be an easy Chelsea victory. One last thing. Manchester Uniteds UCL record vs. Celtic was really poor when both teams played each other in UCL'07. Hopefully Nakamura has one more surprise left.

Oh, c'mon!!! Only 5 posts since Jun, and 4 since July?? <_< Didn't nobody have to say anything during the olympics? Well, for all I know, it was a great tournament, and the final was amazing. Spain really put a great heart, and they were so close to win it all with the way things started in 4th, however there was a guy who made me proud that I'm a fan of him, taking the game over, and. . . Besides enjoying Kobe, I really enjoyed watching D-Wade as well. He was back 100%, and had actually improved his range. Plus it was clear that he had missed basketball a lot, so this year I expect him to have a 30+ppg season. And with Marion and Beasley(even though I never watched him play), they are one of the main candidates in the East. Plus congratz to Matt. Dude, Elton Brand was exactly the player that Sixers needed the most. Playing Andre Miller, I bet he'll become the second most scoring big in the NBA (next to Amare, of course). I don't know exactly if this deal was possible, but I was expecting them to make a move for Ben Gordon. IMO Philly needs a guard who can create his own shot. But anyway, maybe he'd make them handicapped size wise, or not fit nicely with Iggy. Oh, and Kareem Rush is a great addition, to fill the spot of Korver as a 3pt threat. Mo Williams singed with Cavaliers, IMO another great addition. This year NBA won't be WNBA like the last year. Now East has more than 2 teams. On the West, the only team with a major improvement is Houston, and partly NewOrleans, while Denver lost Camby, for. . . . . pretty much nothing. I'd say the only team that'll make the playoff's in the west from the teams who didn't last year, will be Portland, and most likely replacing the Nuggetts. Kobe skipped the surgery for another season, and Bynum is back. This year will be amazing. Kobe earning the scoring title, MVP trophy, and his 4th ring. Also records 72-10 regular season of Bulls'96, and 15-1 playoff of Lakers'01, are threatened big time. Can't wait for it to begin already. The only bad news for me was that Turiaf left. Man I love'd seeing Ronny as a laker, no matter was he playing or not. Ooh, and replying to Joe's question about the new Shaq, well maybe non of these bigs won't be as dominant as Shaq, but I'm really looking forward to see Bynum and Oden in action. Hopefully they'll be 100% healthy. P.S.: Can anyone tell me, does Oden have the right to win the rookie of the year award this season?
