  1. the scroll says hazard gets horny????
  2. about 10 min into the second half when it was clear RM had nothing going in the midfield, you just knew Pulisic was going to do something. they were stretched so thin. every time he got the ball it felt like a goal was on the other end
  3. Probably worried Ramos would pick him up and give him a back breaker
  4. pulisic has been fouled 27 times today
  5. this game is gonna be nuts, i love watching benzema play
  6. just here for the shithousery
  7. For me, Im not some 30-year longterm fan with memories of UCL highlights from the late 90s, so if there's some better option for a continental competition, im all for it. I just hate the automatic spots for the rich clubs, it defeats so much of what I enjoy about european soccer in that there is a risk for horsefeathering up. In the super league format there's no risk. If Arsenal finishes 15th in the super league, oh well, the money is there to chase the next superstar.
  8. this weekend is a good example about what sucks ass about all this Chelsea is away to West Ham saturday. A West Ham win would likely cement Chelsea being unable to catch them. A Chelsea win makes it much more likely they finish top 4. I was eagerly anticipating this match because there was so much on the line. Now ... it's borderline meaningless (maybe) and any similar future fixtures wouldn't mean anything. Neither Chelsea nor West Ham are going to win the league - what matters is finishing top 4. But replace the UCL with the USL and suddenly it's meaningless for both sides. And on a more macro level, all of this is currently up in the air. What if Chelsea goes in flat, feeling like the outcome doesnt matter, they lose the match, lose a chance at top 4, and the USL proposal falls apart or gets pushed back to 2022?
  9. why get rid of him right after he led them to qualification for the super league?!??!?
  10. pretty much. guarantee the CL money without having to worry about qualifying for the CL. They say 15 automatics and 5 qualifiers every year ... no idea how they decide who the 5 qualifiers are.
  11. Can both teams lose the Chelsea-Real tie? chelsea could beat Real, but go so hard in the two matches that they wear themselves out and drop points to west ham etc and lose top 4 in the prem and watch all their hopes of a big summer transfer window go into the toilet
  12. those numbers sound real good until you look at the list of complete horsefeathering nobodies he's on
  13. He should try making contact in a game
  14. well im sold an american star from oklahoma who doesnt like instagram posts by white supremacists, friendship ended with christian
  15. yeah i dont like ross really but i still dont miss maddon
  16. golf, wales, hitting racists in the face, madrid
  17. his finishing is still a bit rusty but it's clear he's leaps and bounds better than anyone else out there.
  18. Dest with a banger. He's looked good on the left side against Jamaica. Nutmegged a dude and played out the back through like four people earlier. Announcers are talking about how he's on the left for depth reasons but it seems more likely Berhalter wants him and Pulisic to be on the same side. His goal just came when Pulisic underlapped and drew two defenders away and gave him space. good horsefeathers.
  19. one of the original louneg iterations was open and named after len kasper (perhaps adam dunn and kent mercker too?) and len found it while googling himself and came and chatted with us shortly after being hired
  20. boog do a louneg chat coward
  21. Ok so we are probably closer to the same page than we think. I wasn’t exactly a lampard out guy but I thought his use of the midfield was terrible and it’s why I supported his firing. I think the 3-4-2-1 tuchel is using is hamstringing the offense a bit but it’s definitely in order to make the defense stronger and a side effect is that he’s actually using the midfield appropriately with the jorghino/kovacic or Kante pairing. yes, that's what I saying. No Mount or Kante today against Everton. so far im a fan of the havertz, cho, werner triumvirate. just figuring out how to deploy havertz correctly would go a long way to fixing the offensive ills, not to mention CHO has been in good form for two months now
  22. Fulham eh At home
  23. Yeah agreed. I suppose they wanted Kante to break up the midfield which he did (I believe he was motm) but offensively they had nothing and mount was mostly ineffective. But that’s only one game. You’ll always be able to find a lineup that didn’t work I've seen it numerous times from Chelsea perhaps it was with Lampard. Never works (though perhaps a 0-0 draw is what the coach was after). Ok so we are probably closer to the same page than we think.
