not just a quote thread btw, original material preferred

not a hallops when he's ~ england's top league scorer the past number of years

and most of his work is done with his first touch, imo

n'gog will one day be sold for over £15m

surely d bent and w rooney have scored more? and w rooney/ bobby z gotsa have a better touch?

if arteta, jagielka and pienaar stay everton are the team that will claim 4th.

steve bruce is the worst manager in the pl

Liverpool's potential starting 11 is as good as or better than Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City and Spurs.

Saying 'will' is a challops, classically delivered.

but 'could' or 'i like them to'- then i agree with that.

Luka Modric is technically the best footballer in Europe

how is this thread going to be any different from all the other football threads on ilx I ask you

surely d bent and w rooney have scored more? and w rooney/ bobby z gotsa have a better touch?

for a couple years it was davies, or at the least he was very close to the top. bent prob tops him now, obv rooney after last year.

rooney does not have a better touch than k davies. zamora might, i suppose, but davies has been more consistent.

cozen otm, btw

hopefully we can just use this as a way of avoiding dumping all this nonsense on the normal league/cup threads?

^^^^^

Michael Owen will score 20 Premiership goals next season.

challops so far- 100% dmac/a hoy hoy

if this works, the rest of the footballing posters are gonna nominate u str8 to site mod imo

LOL SITE MOD POLITICS INTERVENTION

Jack Wilshere is never going to be an England legend.

^ says guy that i distinctly remember repping for joe cole

You'll be laughing on the other side of your face when Joe Cole outscores both Gerrard and Torres next season.

yeah but gerrard won't have kicked the skag by then

as long as the combined total's below 40 goals they can come in any order they like imo

jesus christ can he say that xp

anyway j cole always looked a bit chemically altered to me from day one.

Toronto FC is one piece away from having a team that can beat several prem teams.

Jack Wilshere is never going to be an England legend.

any reasoning behind this or are you just being lol spurs fan?

xxpost

Think you mean "altered in a laboratory perched on a mountain in 19th century Bavaria" tbh

Wolves will stay up comfortably this season btw

^^^ Challop

not sure if saying that a talented 18 yr old w/ a few games behind him won't end up w/ 50+ caps is even a challop

nah i think we are all thinking the same thing? re: wolves.

Doesn't help my pre-season nerves tho

Spain are boring to watch and Barcelona are a blight upon the game. John Terry is a better defender than Carlos Puyol, even if Puyol is the better footballer.

called out by name as the future of the england team by capello, only young english player with the abilities wanted, no history of injuries, not as fat as thudd... really cannot see anything that will stand in his way.

John Terry is a better defender than Carlos Puyol, even if Puyol is the better footballer.

looooooooooooooooooooooooooool a+ challop did you see england defending this summer?

john terry's england sorry

wilshere thing definitely not a challop, weak sauce shit in a thread where nobody challenged (rightly so imo of course) that luka modric pwns spaniards technically

Terry call belongs in rank insanity thread, not challops.

We need to ditch penalty shoot-outs and replace them with a period of extra-time where each side withdraws a player every 3 minutes. This would be fairer.

there's something about lj's challops that seem different to the run of the mill. i dunno what it is, but there's something about the 'barca/spain are a blight' stuff that either seems to lack layers or maybe just have too many aspects to hit the challop nerve full on

terry is a better defender than puyol

^ see that's a fuckin CHALLOP son

yeah i think wilshere will do alright but suggesting he won't isnae a challop

that was just lol darragh the spurs fan to my lol sam the arsenal fan. there are about 8 players technically better than modric.

Penalties are by far the most sensible and enjoyable way of settling games drawn after 120 minutes.

modric/iniesta/xavi triumvariate and we'd see who was the best. imo modric, tho, that's actually genuine

agree that penos are a good way of putting people out of misery

there are about 8 players technically better than modric.

damne near a challop, that '8' sitting there

Someone will make a funny comment on this thread.

No African team will win the World Cup in the next 50 years.

Liverpool aren't a big club any more.

local garda will some day outgrow his real talk posturing on football threads

ITV's World Cup coverage was, pound-for-pound, superior to the BBC's

he's a cuddly aul thing really, is LG. he just pines for the considered non-challop football threads of yesteryear.

Kaka is a better cook than Cristiano Ronaldo and the fact that Ronaldo keeps winning their weekly paella cook-offs is purely the result of outrageous anti-Brazilian bias at Real.

"france world cup squad totally innocent"

Can we quote Dutch wingers in this thread?

Goal line technology will be abandoned after it's discovered that the cameras have been tampered with at a Salford-based Premier League club's ground.

The cameras will be replaced by Howard Webb standing in a five foot deep trench on the goal line.

Jose Mourinho's taste in clothes is actually gayer than Joachim Low's.

The French Football Federation will suspend all 23 members of France's World Cup squad for their next game. Oh.

struggling to fit stevie g into a purely football based challop tbh, that 50% of people wouldn't actually consider fair enough.

xp jeez did they do that chris? fair play to them

Sam Allardyce should be made the next England manager just so we can finish him and the national side off all at once.

There's no way football can continue to exist & pay for itself in this world of competing professional sports without timeouts for commercial breaks at the 15', 30', 60', 75' and 89' marks.

Indeed they have!

Get the 'lol French National Team' thread on the go.

looooooooool but also poor lloris/clichy/sagna/gourcuff...

Karim Benzema and Samir Nasri must be pissing themselves laughing.

Kelly Youga should be in the next France squad

the rooney/ferguson thing isn't a big deal i dont think.

not sure anyone else out there that can afford him want a player as limited tbh

.......

― cant believe you sb'd me for that (darraghmac), Saturday, 16 October 2010 15:43 (Yesterday)

tho i guess in challop terms that's only vying w/ my inclusion of rooney in the 2nd best player poll

must have missed them lining up to sign him, my bad.

spurs should put in a cheeky £30m bill imo - he'd pay for himself in shirt sales, ads, new fans, actually having a proper striker etc.

his touch isn't good enough to play for spurs. and he doesn't sit up front. pav's better for us.

convinced the chicarito header was just a lucky fluke and not a genuine piece of skill

who do you want to replace wenger then?

Pep? Rijkaard? Maybe give Owen Coyle a chance at a big club?

i know yr hurting right now sam, but u gotta understand this needs recording for posterity

drogbadisgrace.gif

i'm not sure what is challopsy about it, two cl winners and a guy who has bolton (!) currently in the cl spots halfway through the season when it was only a year ago they looked like close to being a lock for relegation...

neither pep nor rijkaard have proven anything about their managerial substance imo. at barca, you can't make a true rep, you can only fail miserably or achieve the expected

coyle stfu it's nov

gerard houllier is a very good manager

rong thread? premier league thread ur looking for.

houllier @ lfc > rafa @ lfc

right thread for both

pretty mild tho

see, i dont whinge about other ppl finishing off the tap-ins. they all count.

yeah, was tempted to >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> it but nah it stands

rip superpippo

not a challop

inzaghi revisionism means saying

inzaghi was shit

is a challop

eh

what about 'inzaghi was shit but useful'

super not chall

barely even an op

once had to get up and leave a pub due to abuse from strangers after positing that raul was perhaps underrated by the home fans at the bernabeu.

i don't even know where it came from tbh, i thing i was trying to be interesting.

Argh xp - did not know about Pippo's woes - possibly my favourite player ever, he is

And where was this pub, Las Ramblas?

wait there's a story beyond his being shit?

Bad knee ligament injury, out for the season - which given that he's 37 ought to mean ... but then he does play for Milan

maybe city are a fucking disgrace, but there's a cold logic nonetheless in playing like that away to the most dangerous attacking team in the division

Just spent 90 minutes watching Return to Oz - did I miss anything?

No, really. I just put it on and saw Zabaleta IN NO WAY provoking Sagna by referencing his colour.

― James Mitchell, Wednesday, 5 January 2011 21:44 (2 minutes ago)

idk it might end up being that, u never know

but it's pretty fucking tendentious in a game full of bad challenges, diving, hissyfits etc

it's not like when terry did it to ledders

right

Horrendous challenge by Sagna but the replay deffo shows Zabaleta saying something to provoke him.

yeah but players do that shit all the time

insufficient evidence to damn zabaleta

not sure of either statement there, re challenge being all that bad or racist provocation

Barca will lose.

― Ismael Klata, Tuesday, 5 April 2011 22:25 (Yesterday)

Shakhtar did get that invaluable and elusive away goal.

Inter will go through.

Inter-Spurs final

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/european/11343632/Is-Roy-Hodgson-voting-for-Javier-Mascherano-really-such-a-challops.html

:D

not going to read that but mascherano is a fine choice

as is neuer tbh

there's something to be said for coaches voting for players on the basis of their own disposition and ideas, hodgson is a bit of a relic of a time when clearly delimited roles and defensive organization were the foundation of great sides

maybe even more than the #10s, tough skilful and canny defensive players are the spirit of argentine football (even more so uruguayan football) and he exemplifies that in an era when the violent and devious play is less easy to get away with; he is beloved in argentina

he is the best defensive midfielder in the world by a distance, possibly the best there has been since redondo (a slightly different type of player) and in terms of impeccable screening play only makalele compares in recent times

and he has been one of best centrebacks in la liga for the last five years at '5 ft 7 1⁄2 in' and without quite the explosiveness of ayala or cordoba, before he reverted to type and completely shielded a vulnerable defence while showing how much his distribution has improved at barcelona

ffs the singular is "challop"

wilshere an England legend yet?

Hasn't earned the right to be called the English Charlie Adam yet, imo.

I agree with yo
