/he has replaced Frank Lampard on the MLS all star team

He is destined to follow in the footsteps of Francesco Totti and Daniele de Rossi - become club legends despite almost never winning any trophy of importance.

Italy would have to get past the group stage sometime to get near that baby again. Recent tournaments show that to be a bit of a stretch

So special lol

Players retire and I get nostalgic, but the day Mourinho is no longer with us a huge part of me will die. God bless this magnificent bastard.

Post game reactions from the losing coach from each game are different. One sucks it up and moves on ... The other complains and eats more pie

Maybe Clint Dempsey should have torn Geiger's book in half last night because he certainly didn't do anything else on the pitch.

Well, it's been almost a year for this thread and Arsenal kicks off the un-official start to the season by winning the Community Shield again (this time defeating Chelsea). Also, Wenger and Mourinho still loathe one another.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Arsenal fans are celebrating like they won the PL. It's a glorified friendly, people. Calm down.

On a related note, a friend is going to England for a wedding this month and bought tickets to the Arsenal-Liverpool match - $350 a pop! With ticket prices like that, how the hell can they not be spending like madmen to win every trophy on earth?!
