2011-2012 European Football Thread.

I'd put it at 50/50. As a Fulham fan, I definitely hope he stays.

Love Dempsey and he is such a good footballer. I would just say that the grass is not always greener in terms of a move to a Champions League type team. Yeah his wages are going to be a ton better, but Fulham have adapted the way they play around Dempsey. He is not going to get that at any other team. What has really impressed me is his ability to play with his back to goal, I mean he started off as a midfielder. And great equalizer on Monday- thanks for the help, Love the Toon Army.

Watched most of Manure- Wigan last night and I have to say Manure was utterly awful. If I was Fergie I would be a little worried still. If City wins out, they can still get the title if Manure drops 1 game (in addition to Manchester derby). While it is not likely, it still could happen. Race for last champions league spot is fantastic, granted I am biased. I heard that Ben Arfa's goal on Monday even made Sports Center plays of the day.

Almost forgot- C'mon Liverpool.

Wow, Man U lost to Wigan? Ever slightly leaving the door open for City to win the EPL.

Not a chance. City are too fragile and the mancs have Fergie.

Some house cleaning at Liverpool today.

With Cruyff being discussed, does this not bother you guys? Especially just coming off the whole Suarez thing this year....

I'm not sure why clubs are so desperate to bring-in Cruyff to right the ship like he's some kind of savior.

Admittedly the Suarez ordeal was handled poorly by the club and the lawyer that was representing the club has been sacked. Have you read the FA's report on this? I hate talking about this because it's been done to death, but basically it was the word of Suarez vs Evra. They believed Evra. I am 100 percent certain Luiz Suarez is not a racist and did not use the word "negrito" in a negative manner.

He's largely responsible for the academies of Ajax and Barca, two of the best academies in the world. I don't see how that makes sense either. Also it seems these rumors have been put to bed.

I hate rooting for sports teams.

35 million pounds for a trip to Wembley. I'll take it.

3 times in one season Oh dear. I'll be watching later my daughter had opening day today so I wasn't able to watch but I kept up via the twatter, I feel like I cheated.

Its kinda sad that this season is going to be remembered for bad refereeing almost as much as any other story line, game, or goal.

Goal-line is having one heck of a season.

[Skeletor]

Am I the only one who gets annoyed when the radio ad for Liverpool/Tottenham is played? If I hear TottingHAM one more time...

Almost as bad as when ESPN was showing Arsenal highlights and called it the AY-MEER-AH-TAYS stadium.

Any chance Man U drops one more match (in addition to having to lose to City in the Derby, obviously) and giving Man City a shot to win EPL?

Also, what do you guys think of this Bayern/Real semi-final?

Goal-line, wrongfully disallowed, soft penalty's are all having a great season... not to mention cross bar, post and wind aided goals

Just looked up Manure's schedule: Everton and Swansea at home and Sunderland away. I'm gonna say no. The Swans could possibly knick a point, but highly unlikely I think. All 3 teams have essentially nothing to play for which is usually really telling this time of the season.

Shame for Bayern that they did not play this game a month ago when they were scoring like 6 goals a game. I don't follow the Bundesliga (goltv is horrible) enough to know why they have tapered off, but on paper I think it will be a cracking 2 legged tie. Both teams are ridiculously quick on the counter and can score goals for fun. Real may get the newspaper headlines, but Bayern are right there in terms of talent in the team. That said, I think Real is gonna go through.
