Spurs lost to West Brom

you must be chuffed Ed!! Liverpool whooped Everton apparently

Scary. That's (arguably) the top 3 coaches in the world in the EPL. Well it is in my books

and raise your hands if you think Terry should replace Cech in goal <_< It was a fantastic save though Terry was the best keeper considering Warner and Cech's performances

it was a particularly obvious handball!! how the referee didn't spot it, i don't know

I'm pretty sure the referee was staring at all the money Abramovich gave him. Nothing attracts attention like sparkling gold Even on a rainy winter's day in England

the club does nothing to tackle these radical elements!! they used to let them bring swastikas inton the stadium!!!! :shock:

Thats not true, such things happened in the past. I don't remember such events during presidency of Florentino Perez.

this element of fans have been practically eradicated from the English game. there has only been one incident of racist chanting in the English game in the last couple of years and that was West Ham's chanting at Mido. in Spain racist chanting happens everyweek. it seems particularly prevalent in the Bernabeu to me

Here in Poland, every new minister of the interior (equivalent of Home Secretary in UK) is quoting british

example how to fight with pathologys on stadiums. Non of them succeed. I see similar situation in Spain or Italy. Violence on stadiums still takes place. Roberto Carlos was whistled in La Corunia. Austrian national team fooball player was offending polish players before our teams match. Idiots are everywhere.

they tour to gain publicity and gain a foothold in the lucrative far-eastern markets not to promote good sporting attitudes. if they wanted to do that they would crack down on the Ultra Sur!!! when fans of Real are making monkey chants at players and are waving bananas at them (as happened to Eto'o) then it tells you much about the fans. similarly look at the chanting in the Spain-England fixture last year Madrid and Spain seemingly have a problem

They earn in Asia, but they also meet fans. I thinks its important. It shows openness of the Club. I remember that one year ago, President Perez put electronic scanner to check tickets at gates in Santiago Bernabeu. It didn't meet with approval of radical fans. They even left their sector empty in protest.

What its also imortant Ultra Sur is not official unit of the club.

Raul being a goodwill ambassador means nothing. he is one person not the whole Real support

This opinion confirms that you don't know a lot about Real Madrid. Raul is something more than the player, than the captain. He is symbol of Real Madrid. That what he does is respected by everyone. And that he is a team captain means that he reprsents Real Madrid.

i don't forget that kind of involvement in a club . . . in my mind Real are forever tainted their successes now don't erase their past associations . . .

That is your point of view, and you have right to think that, but it isn't very objective, and based on strong argumentation.

i've justified it by saying that i don't like involvement with a fascist government. especially not one associated with a certain Mr Hitler <_< . . . then fact that they make no effort to improve upon their past or apologise makes it worse <_<

similarly you are not being objective if you do not acknowledge their fascist past. to pretend it never happened is pure ignorance . . .

Everton broke the Liverpool clean sheet record

Damn the blue half of merseyside

I forgot to watch yesterday.

It would be beautifully if The Reds had managed to chase away CHelsea, as Valencia did with Real Madrid under Benitez command in 2004.

It looks like Inter is getting Cesar

Inter doesn't need another winger, especially one who inconsistent and constantly injured

It's another stupid signing by Moratti

nah.. only rumors.. I hope.

ac.. do ytou know who is Mazzocchi from the Domenica Sportiva?

Edited December 30, 200519 yr by GOCHO

we're getting Krompkamp hopefully but he'll have to beat Finnan for a regular spot. At the moment, that's gonna be really hard. Finnan has been really solid since Benitez arrived.

Bring on the Transfer market... I like reading about rumours

As spanish daily newspaper Marca announced Real Madrid and Roma almost reached agreement in transfer of Cassano, what means that Roma player can move to Madrid in few days. Earlier reports informed that Cassano and Real Madrid have agreed provisions of contract and salary of the player.

Real Madrid is also interested in Dirk Kuyt, forward of Feyenoord.

Real Madrid still seeks for reinforcements, its good sign. Cassano is very good player in my opinion, so he could be replacement for injured Raul. They both plays as a mediapunfto.

nah.. only rumors.. I hope.

No, sorry

TLN in Canada doesn't get Domenica Sportiva anymore unless you have digital cable

I just hope they let Cassano play, and not let him rot on the bench like Owen

Cassano is very good player as long as he doesen't let his temper get in the way

Haha, that's fucking great for Real. Buy another complete cunt. Good player, mind, but still not exactly the type of player Real need in terms of mentality and position. Cassano is a big headed little wanker, I'm glad Inter didn't sign the little brat.

It looks like Inter wants to sign Riquelme. That's a good signing, not Cesar

mediapunto is the withdrawn/second striker right?

Like Raul?

Buying Cassano would be bad for Real's image I reckon.

Kuijt is quality, but he's not that great as a striker. He bags the goals, but when you watch him shoot, his shots lack accuracy and power a lot of the time.

Liverpool for Krompkamp

Capello wants to coach Man U some time soon

Hopefully for Man U it's sooner rather than latter

Why would he leave Juve?

Chelsea offered 150 000 pounds/week to Henry.

He says he wants to make it in the Premiership. Where else to stamp you're authority than on a not-so-tactical lead? If you are the tactically one of the best in Italy, then (provided you understand the nature of the game) you can be one of the best anywhere else. That's the way I see it

Chelsea offered 150 000 pounds/week to Henry.

I'd still choose Barca if I were him. Just because they attack and hold the same values as Arsenal. And you get to reap misery on Chelsea

You have a point there. Also he is a spainsh champ, an italian champ -> he might want to be an english champ too.
