OT: Premiership Forum

Well, I'm pretty sure the game is being played in Madrid (lol)

It was entertaining hearing Gus say Coentrao


oh higgy

Soccer is dead to me right now since my Reds lost to WBA at home. Ugh

How does the ref not allow that final corner kick to ManU? It was well within the final 3 additional minutes.

/Maybe Declan Hill has the answer

Man U has to be happy with that outcome. Come away with a draw (including a potentially important away goal) in a game where they were outplayed for the majority of the game.

In Fergie time nonetheless? Outrage I say.

Was it a Swedish ref, by any chance?

Gareth Bale has been incredible recently. 2 goals yesterday in the home leg of Spurs Europa matchup with Lyon. Both goals were free kicks. He's scored the last 6 goals for Spurs. He's been on a hell of a run.

Nigel has already made preparations for Vancouver ... bought a new hat

 

[jstewismybastardson]

why I compared him to Robson

He has been described as being both a strong character and moody in the past and there have been some issues at his previous clubs, where there has seemingly been some bitterness on both sides. He also isn't afraid to call out his fellow players, as his Ipswich team-mates found out during his loan spell there last year. This can play out both good and bad.

@GrantWahl: Important 2 note in @RobbieRogers' powerful blog that he uses phrase "stepping away" from soccer, not "retiring"

 

[jstewismybastardson]

my bro says he's a creative technical mf'er ... good stuff

They had so much trouble with a back 4 of guys that spoke 4 diff languages so this signing would not solve this but the guy is potentially a world class 23 year old who will captain a solid honduran team for years to come

I think the hold up is whitecaps have used all their international player spots

 

[jstewismybastardson]

well ... marc weber says this is a done deal so forget that part about the international player spot

/joins team on wednesday

// scratch that ... Joined team tonight in charleston

 

[jstewismybastardson]

So it's finally official. Johnny Leverón is now a Whitecap. Nigel Reo-Coker may also be announced today. Not a lot of time to gel b4 season


with that type of technical talent, theyll figure it out

Should I be excited about these off-season moves by the Whitecaps? Sure seems to be quite a bit of hype. Can't believe the season is only two weeks away.
