^ Well I don't care for Blatter anyways... actually I think most people hate him.

Big game today ManU vs Chelsea, although I think ManU are a lock for the title now.

Van Persie going on a goal scoring tear until he fucked up his knee, again, and out for 6 weeks, again. I swear he is made of glass.

And Rooney is a dirty pos. (couldn't find a good video, all removed)

Only got a warning?! He deserves a 3+ match ban for that gay shit.

Man U has been very lucky this season...so I'm not surprised that he wasn't given a red card.....

not a bad game today. David Luiz is definitely worth every penny so far. I think he is the most technical defender out there right now.. better dribbler than most players.

Lucio, Thiago Silva and now David Luiz. Some talented defenders Brazil has!!

Dr Saud Abdul Ghani, head of the Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at Qatar University, unveiled a design and construction of an artificial cloud to shade and cool the open playgrounds to be used in the 2022 World Cup in Doha. He told a local Arabic daily that the project will be executed in collaboration with Qatar Science and Technology Park.

He said the artificial cloud will move by remote control, made of 100 percent light carbonic materials, fuelled by four solar-powered engines and it will fly high to protect direct and indirect sun rays to control temperatures at the open playgrounds.

He said the initial model of the cloud cost $500,000 but the cost will decrease upon launching the commercial models which could also be used at beaches, car parking by using the mobile phone.

Chelsea needs a makeover NOW. They are no longer the physical force they used to be. What happened to the team that chewed up Barcelona in the semi finals?
They looked so good at the start of the season but everything just suddenly fell apart. Drogba, Lampard, Essien, these three have aged noticeably, and Ballack leaving was another key I believe.
It seems like Mourinho's Chelsea is finally coming to an end. It's a shame they never won the big ear..

They have some good focal points for the re-building process. Defense looks solid with David Luiz added to the squad.
Ramires is settling in much better compared to his horrible first half, but the midfield desperately needs a Robben-esque attacking force with dribbling skills. Malouda is good but he too is aging.
Torres was expensive and hasn't scored a goal yet, but for 50M, Chelsea better give him another full season and hope he doesn't turn out like Shevchenko.

It'll be interesting to see who Chelsea buys this summer.

So true. They need a summer makeover. I heard they are going to get rid of a bunch of players such as Mikel, Kalou, Drogba, Zhirkov, Ferreira, Bosingwa, etc. IMO they should have bought Suarez instead of Torres lol.


So after today, they are tied in 2nd with Arsenal ahead on goal difference and 6 points back of ManU with 5 games left. Soooooo think there is ANY chance Chelsea can pull it out? I hope so but don't think so

I hope so too! Man U needs to lose against Arsenal and Chelsea while Chelsea must win all of its remaining games, and hope Man U slips one more time. It's a shame they lost two points a few weeks ago.

It's a shame that Man City or Tottenham won't make the Champions League next year. They both have excellent squads.

Well well, awesome weekend of football the past 2 days. Chelsea beating Tottenham and Arsenal beating ManU.

So, Chelsea is 3 points behind ManU and they are tied on goal differential. So if Chelsea beats ManU in this EPICALLY HUGE game next weekend, they go top

The only good thing for West Ham this year was Scott Parker winning player of the year.

But hey, your last 3 games are vs Blackburn, Wigan, Sunderland; 3 games you CAN win. If you win out there is a chance you could stay up

Well, QPR fully deserved to be promoted. I think they have what it takes to stay up next season.

My buddy at work is from Cardiff originally so understandably a huge Cardiff fan. I've been giving him so much shit cus 2 months ago they had the automatic promotion spot clinched but now they suck ass and have to go to playoffs. We will see....

Still can't wait for tomorrow's Chelsea vs ManU game. My mom decided to make her own Mother's Day plans so I will have to miss the 2nd half of the Chelsea ManU game cus we have to go to brunch :FUUUUUUUU:


And Ibra.... jeez wherever this mother fucker goes he literally wins a title. 8 in a row now lol.


Oh and last, and probably least lol, tomorrow is the final matchday of the Dutch Eredivise. Ajax (whose stadium I visited a month ago and stayed with family friends who are Ajax friends) plays Twente essentially for the championship. Should be interesting I guess



Last but not least. I fucking hate ManU and Barca but the final should be fun to watch and I think Barca will come out on top in a close one... maybe 2-1 or 1-0.

So I guess Man U wins this season... Park had an amazing game. He literally chewed up the midfield.

I really dislike the current Barcelona team so I'll be rooting for Man U this time. I don't understand why they whine so much and flop all the time when they play such great football.
I don't remember Mascherano flopping so much at Liverpool. Maybe this is what they call the Barca DNA

Ibra is just amazing. A true mercenary lol I hope he can shine in the Champions League next season. It's funny how he dominates the league but is so timid in Europe.

^ True, wherever Ibrahimovic goes, he wins the league title, but fails in Europe. So, Ibra should go to maybe Wolverhampton and they will win the league LAWL .

I also hate Barca, they are acting like a bunch of fucking pansies. Sergio Biscuits is the worst, just adding on to his bullshit diving from The World Cup and last year's run. He should try out for the Spanish diving team.

I hate both ManU and Barca. I hope it goes to PKs and (can't believe I'm saying this, but) hope that ManU win with Dani Alves shooting it over the bar.

Wow you all REALLY thought ManU would win?

That was complete and utter rape.
Barca: 70% possession, 22 shots - 12 on goal.
ManU: 30% possession, 4 shots - 1 on goal.

After the first 10 minutes, Barca got in gear and tore them apart. Well deserved win.

Oh I give a huge shit. I watched that embarassment. A few things I need to get off my chest:

-Mexico, OVERALL, was the better team. After the 2-0 start in the first 25 min I thought it would be a USA rape, but when they started playing like shit and Mexico scored 4 unanswered, ... well obviously it was over.

-USA needs to address there horrible defense; who the fuck is Tim Ream? Cus every time I see him he is getting raped by an opponent. Horrible. Cherundolo is their best defenseman imo and he got subbed out (I'm guessing due to injury, I'd like to know the specifics plz...) for their WORST defenseman in Bornstein. HOW THE FUCK is Bornstein still on the team?! Two mistakes by him, that I saw, let Mexico score.

-Mexico, although was the better team, played like a bunch of pansy faggots. ALWAYS going to the ground grabbing something or another rolling around in pain... half the time the USA guy didn't even touch the Mexican player and he still went to the ground grabbing his face like a fucking Italian piece of shit.

-Dempsey is more and more pissing me the fuck off. Not only does he waste valuable opportunities to score easy goals by trying to be a showoff or just sucking ass in general, but half the time I see him on TV, he is on the ground rolling around like a fucking disgrace; get the fuck up you fucking pussy. Looks like he has been spending his summers in Italy taking diving lessons.

-Finally, WHAT THE FUCK DOES IT TAKE TO GET BOB BRADLEY FIRED?!
