The PFA Player of the year award is sh!t. Gerrard should've won it.

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

Is this Giggs' last season?Maybe they gave this as a lifetime achievement award.
More baffling than Wenger's team selection at Wembley.

there are still some games to play...even if we and MAD-RID were equal on points(we wouldnt let that happen)..we'd still win on goals..but i must say that there isnt a football match in europe that can match the rivalry and excitement of EL CLASSICO!!

I thought in the Spanish League, when teams are tied on points, the order is decided on basis of head to head rather than GD...Isn't it? So if Real get a good win....you never know.

but i must say that there isnt a football match in europe that can match the rivalry and excitement of EL CLASSICO!!

I think the Old Firm rivalry between Celtic and Rangers is probably THE biggest rivalry in terms of mutual hatred, but yeah in terms of glamour "El Classico"would prevail.

Not on GD, but on head-to-head between the two teams on the same no. of points.

Some other local derbies you might like to watch:

Inter v Milan
Lazio v Roma (always a hot-tempered affair)
Celtic v Rangers

Lots more are there..

^^
it is a stupid rule i feel............ , the decision should be based on GD...

any way cant wait for UCL......
come on blues.......

 

[Kl@w-24]

^ ^ ^ No, I think it's better than GD. A team can improve its GD by hammering the weaker teams even though it might get beaten narrowly by the stronger teams. But when 2 teams are tied on the same number of points, their head-to-head results provide a better picture about the relative superiority of one team over the other.

Giggs winning The PFA Award So how much did United pay to get it This award shows a bias towards the 'old wine'. They should have taken a leaf out of our Bollywood team to make a special category to award Giggs just for the sake of honouring him. Vidic or gerrard should have got it and why the hell Rio features in that list Just look at the 2 goals scored by Spurs and at both times Rio does nothing. Then why is he called as one the best defenders in Europe? Just bcoz he plays for United and was bought for 30 M sterlings? Vidic baby-sits him all day

This is disgusting.

Juergen Klinsmann sacked.

*www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/apr/27/jurgen-klinsmann-sacked-bayern-munich

TBHI am not really surprised. It was only a matter of time.

 

[Rahim]

^TBH he should not be made a scapegoat. What about the talented super-starts donning that shirt? They are the real culprits. It is easy to blame one person and replace him than to change the whole team.

 

[Kl@w-24]

^ ^ ^ But Klinsmann must shoulder most of the blame. He had no previous experience of managing at club level methinks. He had only managed Germany, albeit successfully. Looking at his transfers, I thought he was trying to assemble the whole German national squad at bayern!! Klose & Borowski were brought in by Klinsi and he also tried to get hold of Mario Gomez!! Also, he seemed to be tactically naive as shown more recently by Wolfsburg, Barca and so many others.

But then again, it's the players who have to perform on the pitch.

 

[Rahim]

^By that logic the blame should entirely go to Bekenbuer & Hoeness(spelling mistkes ). They were the ones who appoinyed him in the first place.

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

Arsene Wenger refused Bayern offer by the way

 

[Kl@w-24]

^ ^ ^ The directors (or whatever they are) don't usually sack themselves. That's the whole problem!!

Giggs getting the PFA award is more sort of a life "time achievement award" .. and Rio is english and thus their bias towards him...i mean he didn't play half the games this season 'cos of one injury or the other and whenever he did, Vidic was better...and add to it those crucial goals he [vidic] scores... but its all gotta do with that bullock Rio's nationality.

<but then i'm also surprised why Rooney was not chosen for the 11... he's way better than Anelka>


and Klinsman guy could now replace sparky at Man City ... <..or is Roman interested ?..>
