Wenger is such a whiny little bitch

12/14/2010 9:50:22 AM

Classy.

12/14/2010 12:13:15 PM

Did Torres punch him in the nuts or something?

12/14/2010 12:21:25 PM

lol it looks the last one he is telling torres he smokes wang

12/14/2010 12:33:37 PM

i wonder how they decided this was appropriate and shouldnt warrant him getting fined or suspended....

12/14/2010 12:35:16 PM

didn't you hear? football has no boundaries and is open to all people, and there's no discrimination to anybody, according to Sepp Blatter

Just another sweep under the rug moment for racist and homophobic shit that goes down all the time, nothing to see here

12/14/2010 12:40:16 PM

If I remember correctly, Torres was the one getting all up in Barton's face because a Liverpool player went down and Barton didn't see it so he kept playing for a few seconds. Basically, Torres was being a huge bitch and 10 minutes later Liverpool lost the game.

12/14/2010 5:29:50 PM

from what i read on twitter during the game, his exact words to Fernando were "suck my cock"



and aimorris is right


there's no racism or bigotry in football

12/14/2010 6:47:32 PM

^^ also if you remember correctly, Barton is the biggest jackass in England who should already be on a short leash. When the cameras see you motioning like he did and mouthing those words, you need some kind of punishment. Pretty ridiculous he got off with nothing.

Some trash talking is expected but that's unacceptable.

12/14/2010 7:41:11 PM

yeah hes already been punished for something this year, so i cant figure out how he got off of this....and i didnt see what torres did, but it doesnt surprise me if he instigated something. he is a little bitch

12/14/2010 7:49:17 PM

oh yeah? well, Fletcher is a bigger bitch

12/14/2010 7:50:49 PM

nuh unh! lucas is!!

12/14/2010 7:54:02 PM

dude aimorris come on


Torres is the sandiest vagina in the league

12/14/2010 10:23:39 PM

It's been a slow build, and I've been in self denial for too long. That Barton/Torres clip might have confirmed it.

I think I'm a Newcastle fan.

12/14/2010 10:37:29 PM

i think Joey Barton gets a bad rap


either that or I just cant remember all the terrible shit he's done

12/14/2010 10:53:03 PM

The soccer blog I read the most loves him, so I think I've been brainwashed into becoming a fan.

12/14/2010 10:59:38 PM

i had to re-read but i remember now. he punched pederson in the chest earlier this season. he seems to be a loose cannon at times

12/14/2010 11:03:51 PM

he put out a cigar in his teammate's eye, so he can't be that bad of a guy

12/14/2010 11:04:38 PM

haha

12/14/2010 11:05:15 PM

lol

lol notice I didn't defend Torres. He's a punk but when he's on your team, you don't care about all that stuff.

So let's hear United fans call Fletcher for what he is now - a whiny bitch. Has he ever committed a foul in his mind? Or any United defender for that matter? Also, A+ effort for his Ballack impersonation on Monday...


also, Maradona to Blackburn? hahahahaha

[Edited on December 15, 2010 at 7:56 AM. Reason : ridiculous]

12/15/2010 7:52:35 AM

okay so Blackburn says they're not getting Maradona, but I also read they're not planning on getting a new manager until the season is over? wtf, why did they get rid of FS now then

also, Dzeko wants City to sign him... I like Tevez but that would be hilarious if City refused to grant his transfer request and bought Dzeko and kept Tevez on the bench until he stopped being a bitch

12/15/2010 9:07:42 AM

According to goal.com, Bale is on every big spending club's wish list.

I don't like this shit

at all

12/15/2010 9:53:37 AM

a little late but

Barton missed the world cup for england this summer because he was in jail

freaking jonny evans....united could prob be massacring the league right now had rio been fit ...but who knows...

12/15/2010 10:57:58 AM

Does it seem like more people are writing about the Club World Cup this year or is it just me?

It's like the world carling cup, who gives a fuck

12/15/2010 3:41:34 PM

haha yeah. i didnt even watch a single game or try to when united won it. heck i didnt even know they won their first game in it until i heard they were in the finals

12/15/2010 3:55:30 PM

I mean, people are doing running commentary on twitter for a damn TP Mazembe vs. Internacional game

now I'm a fucking loser about soccer but I have my limits

12/15/2010 3:57:59 PM

i couldnt name a single player from either team and this is what, the semifinals of the WORLD club cup?

hardly prestigious, but still nice to get a trophy


watching this utrecht vs liverpool game cause i have a streak riding on it...but wow liverpool look so bad. yes torres and gerrard arent playing but they have nothing out there even looking like a threatening attack

[Edited on December 15, 2010 at 4:46 PM. Reason : d]

12/15/2010 4:25:05 PM

so man u vs. chelsea is sunday on fsc...but damn twc doesnt have fox soccer hd...just fox soccer plus hd

12/15/2010 6:59:22 PM

I've had that problem a few times already. Fucking TWC

12/15/2010 7:22:47 PM

^^^ JonJo Shelvey doesn't look completely awful. Everyone else looked like garbage though.

12/15/2010 10:09:28 PM

yeah, i was hoping it was gonna be on espn2 hd until i checked and saw fsc...

twc just doesnt make sense...you give us fsc 2 in hd but not the regular

12/16/2010 8:27:30 AM

yeah it's pretty stupid. I finally realized the show the review show on there too, I had been DVR'ing it on regular

12/16/2010 8:41:39 AM

I'm in need of some better daily soccer reading.

Y'all post your favorite blogs/websites so that I don't have to look at goal.com and soccernet for info anymore please.

The best thing to do is follow a bunch of soccer guys on Twitter - they give you all the relevant news and post their columns. I'd have to say Oliver Kay is my favorite - http://twitter.com/OliverKayTimes

Guardian always has cool stuff

If you're interested in finance, this guy is awesome as shit - http://swissramble.blogspot.com/

This guy does mostly opinion stuff, but he's pretty funny - http://www.runofplay.com/ - you should check out his entries on his Football Manager dynasty with some Italian team called Pro Vercelli, there's some gold in there. He does like a fake Guardian-style running commentary of a big Champions League game

http://www.football365.com/ is interesting, I like reading the mailbag

I agree with aimorris about the Twitter thing. I follow a bunch of soccer bloggers/columnists on there and they are always tweeting about what's going on in soccer. That's where I get most of my soccer news at.

Here are a quick few:
http://twitter.com/GrantWahl
http://twitter.com/SoccerByIves
http://twitter.com/SoccerInsider


My favorite blog would have to be SBI (http://www.soccerbyives.net/). He concentrates more on American soccer but he does a really good job.

[Edited on December 16, 2010 at 1:13 PM. Reason : links]

12/16/2010 1:07:39 PM

Those American guys are some serious tools though. I follow them because I'm a loser but if there's no USMNT going on and you don't give a shit about MLS, you can find better places. Here's some more

Watching the Bolton game, maybe it's just for the US crowd, but they've been talking up Stuart Holden for about 10 minutes now. Pregame with OC was him saying he could "build a team" around Holden.

Nice to see such good things said about US players in the EPL lately.


Also tons of snow in England today, most if not all other games canceled later today.
