Discuss your other teams here

There seem to be quite a few posters on this forum that follow other teams.  Last week there was quite a bit of discussion about soccer, rugby and other sports.  Rather than clog the gameday thread (and risk a ban) with talk about soccer, I thought I'd open up a fan post to discuss it.

I'll start.  The Greatest Soccer Team In The History Of The Galaxy had a mixed week.  They lost 2-1 away at West Ham but rebounded well to win at home against NEC Nijmegen.  They're now within 3 points of surprising league leader FC Groningen.

Feel free to brag or complain about your other team here.

The Redknapp Revolution

No more triangle and toothpick jokes for Spurs!

I will say – bit of a daft move by ’Arry. But what the fuck ever – I will take 3 points where I can get 3 points.

I see

Modric scored. That guy’s got some game.

Strange to see Dos Santos not getting in. I think he’s going to be pretty good.

Modric played great

Didn’t get on the score sheet – but played his best game so far.

Yeah the Dos Santos benching confuses me as well. I really think he’s class. We SHOULD be playing a 4-2-3-1… but no one listens to me.

4-2-3-1

Is the new 4-3-3.

MvB has Ajax playing in that formation these days. I’m a big fan.

Don’t know why I thought Modric scored. He’s the man, though.

Watched the Dutch do it at Euro

And loved it. Gives you a lot more flexibility in attack but doesn’t weaken your backline with only 3… like say the 3-5-2 (which is suicide in my opinion – too crowded in attack).

How’s Huntelaar doing this season? I haven’t been following the Dutch league at all (which is odd – since I’m living here right now).

He's been sucking

But he played pretty well today, socered a goal, created another.

He’s kind of an autistic savant when it comes to soccer. He can’t do anything but score.

That's brilliant

An autistic savant. I’m tucking that one away for future use.

You guys got a rough UEFA group – though Slavia isn’t the team they used to be and Hamburg is a wildcard.

Slavia

Dumped us last year. I think we can do it — we have the two worst teams in the group at home, and two wins should do it.

Sadly, given our recent European form, however, this is far from a certainty.

Damn it.

We lost to the wankers from Arsenal today. Again, I say, damn it.

Yay, sports.

Arsenal

Are wankers. But they’re capable of playing real purty.

More Disappointed Than Ever Before

BRB a soccer forum? A pox on all your houses!

Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

I'm sorry Tim!

We tried to keep it on the side – in a fan post… away from the football. Er… futbol? Oh shit. Which is it? Fooseball!?

by DisplacedTexan on Oct 27, 2008 7:15 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Could be worse...

at least it’s not MLS. Or WNBA.

Yay, sports.

Re: WNBA

Puro Pinche Silver Stars!

I’ve actually been to a couple of their games… not bad on dollar beer night.

But really

Is there any sporting even that’s “not bad” on dollar-beer night?

So you're saying that now I have to think of some witty Sig that will be applicable across all the SBN sites? Go TexanHornStros!

by Shake on Oct 27, 2008 11:41 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Depends.

Is drinking fifty-cent beers a sport? Because that would suck on dollar-beer night.

Yay, sports.

I think it's like

Legalizing drugs or prostitution. You’d rather it happen out of the spotlight, but if there’s no safe place for it, it’s going to end up there.

And what’s wrong with hookers and blow?

I was trying to keep the discussion out of the gameday thread, that’s all.

Also: Dale Dynamo!

4-4

right? Did you watch it?

by tehGrindCrusher on Oct 30, 2008 8:14 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah at a pub here

Wild game. Truly ridiculous and wild game.
