Really?

NO

52 years 1 month 4 days 20 hours 24 minutes 43 seconds and counting...

At least Spurs have won a trophy in the last 8 years.

Meanwhile, the legendary Arsenal squeaks into the Champions League yet again and for the eighth consecutive year has absolutely nothing to show for their efforts.

[b0mbs_of_death]

I would go with Damiao and Benteke. Villa is a 31 year old striker who has been hurt since he joined Barcelona. I am sure we will sign him. I wish those Belhanda rumors would start again, that kid is good.

As loathe as I am to admit it, the Arse always make champions league, usually sign better players(big ups for Vertonghen though), have a more consistent coach and have finished above Spurs every single Premier League year. So until that changes, we can shut the fuck up.

If there is any wisdom at that club, sign Bale, spend money, make top 4, keep Bale. Every solid competitor outside of the Arse will have a new coach. There will be fumbles, perhaps for once, we can take advantage.

Its going to be a miserable summer without footie.

Goetze out of final. Damn.

[stupidregister]

Goetze out of final. Damn.

This whole thing has bullshit written all over it.

It's leaked that he gets sold to their rival during the Semis.
Reports of a second player getting sold to their rival are also leaked although this remains unclear.
These teams meet in the Final.
He gets hurt and is ruled out of the Final.
Dortmund claim there's no issue, these players will give their all, something they cannot possibly know.
He recovers enough to be eligible.
Gets rehurt and is ruled out again.

Whether anything fishy is actually going on, this is fucking stupid and a stain on football.

[Stoned Starks]

Yeah, I mean, I was thinking about posting something along those lines but I doubt he wants to miss the biggest game of his career regardless of which team he's playing for next year. I mean it is totally conceivable he could never reach this stage again due to injury, severe drop in form, freak accident, whatever. Obviously the chances are slim but if he really is fine and missing this because of who he's playing for next year that is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

It's such an awkward situation and none of it would have even played out if it wasn't released he was being sold to Bayern (which is being suggested was done by people at Bayern to take attention away from their president being arrested on tax issues). Say he's being sold in the summer but don't say whom and all this goes away. Maybe I'm making too much of it.

You're probably right in some sense, but I simply don't believe he would go all out as if he was playing against a club he developed a hatred for. If he plays subpar, people will be on him about throwing it even if he wasn't. This is the fucking Champions League and he's making a meal of it. And he probably doesn't want to face the Dortmund fans any more than he has to. They've already turned on him and he seems too much like a diva to put up with it.

Bayern CEO Rummenigge said this week, that the Gotze news were leaked by Man-City officials, since they had an interest in signing him, too, but lost out to Bayern.

[Positive A]

is this gonna be good or is munich gonna stomp?

[Positive A]

well, if this "opening ceremony" is anything to go by, this is going to suck ballsack.

[VideoKilledThe]

just wanna see goals, pulling for Dortmund tho.

[Stoned Starks]

Robben with his annual major final choke job. Good to see some things never change.

[Stoned Starks]

[Stoned Starks]

This game

[Stoned Starks]

SUBOTIC

[ian e]

fuckin intense

[jamrage]

Incredibly entertaining game thusfar. Really hope Dortmund pull it out.

[Stoned Starks]

Well I guess if you get enough chances... After all, he's not quite Mario Gomez

[stupidregister]

Fuck. Of all the ways to lose, did it have to be fucking Robben? That fucking faggot. How could anyone have been pulling for Munich with the likes of Robben, Ribery, and Muller flopping around and throwing cheap shots. Fucking shit. Dortmund are pure class, what a great club. I hope they manage to reload. Fuck Gotze too, what a bitch.

[Stoned Starks]

Yeah, love Dortmund. Particularly Gundogan. Really hope they can use that Goetze money to reload. Wonder how Guardiola feels about all this.

[Positive A]

Tymoshchuk hanging around that trophy like he actually contributed.

[ian e]

damn.

Brazilian club Santos has accepted two offers made by Barcelona and Real Madrid for Neymar, and reports in the Catalan media say the 21-year-old forward has chosen to play for Barcelona.

Details of the offers were not made official, but Sport.es reported that Barcelona will pay 25 million euros ($32.3 million) and play two friendly matches with Santos, one in each team's stadium.

It was only a matter of time, really. Going to be sick to see him in action on that team.



Back to the EPL, Chelsea have to bring Lukaku back next season, right?

[Y@k Bollocks]

This play off final is dire. Can't see either of these teams doing much next season, especially Watford if they have that transfer embargo.

[Comedy Quaddafi]

Palace look better, but its a poor match. Might go to penalties.

[Req]

Zaha yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeo

[Y@k Bollocks]

1-0 to the Stripey Nigels.
