Football 2010-2011

[Badlands]

The game was on 25th of October 2009, so pretty much this time last year. In more general terms, I cant recommend Argentina highly enough. I'm itching to go back.

I still don't get how its not safe to stand in the premier league but it is in the lower leagues!!

That's an easy one: numbers.

I'd guess that there's a normal capacity of 10,000+ in the end of Hillsborough where that sad incident happened. Most League 2 or lower clubs (the ones allowed terracing) barely have a total capacity of that for right around the ground. The more spread out people are (particularly with high numbers of people), the less likelihood there is of those people causing (intended or not) an incident of that sort.

Looks like no Wesley

Looks like any chance of him going to Utd, or anywhere else have gone.

Must say, i did think he was on his way to England. Im surprised he's signed until 2015 to be honest, i mean he's won everything possible with Inter, and i couldn't see him enjoying playing under Rafa.

It's beyond me why anyone would want to swap an appartment in downtown Milano and Summer house on Sardo for Manchester. Utterly beyond me.

Other than the food obviously. And the women. And the weather. And the wine. And the culture. And the beaches.

........and the rampant racism and escalating violence.

It might surprise you to know, but some players don't want to play for Utd. Like Rooney, for instance.

I haven’t been for about two years, anywhere in England actually, but they’re not killing policemen, singing “There are no black English people” and stabbing opposing fans as far as I know.

Wooderson, I take it the stuff about Reina and Torres is rubbish?

Whatever about Arsenal (a club most LFC fans have the height of respect for on and off the pitch) there is absolutely zero chance of LFC selling our best players to Manchester Utd. This insane concept has only recently crept into mainstream media discourse.

Maybe it was for a new contract, but when a player comes out as openly as this and says he would like to play for Utd, then i (and many other Utd fans) are sorry for thinking it could be a possibility one day.

One day you'll get to realise that words like that are as meaningful as all the guff spouted by both Utd and Rooney last week.

I see Newc are still carrying on with the massive luck that had them win the Champs by mile last season. I guess the whole Sunderland team must be ill today.
