Find a bit ridiculous that they're letting their personal feelings for him get in the way of voting for a great footballer. It's not like Bale is perfect, he's as bad as Suarez in the diving department.



Think they might have been a bit too quick on the trigger with this one :p.

For what it's worth I had a letter through the door saying my ESPN sub was coming to an end at the end of July so it looks like that channel is being dispose of (hopefully along with Jon Champion)

Yep same here, have pre-empted it and cancelled now as there is a 30 day notice period. Are BT getting the cup games as well as the Premier League games? Any news on how Sky subscribers can view the BT channel? Bit gutted to be losing UFC too.

That's a joke of a team, complete farce.
 
If that was anything like true, hilarious, not least because Marcelo has barely played and is utterly useless, so even if you were basically doing a La Liga XI Marcelo wouldn't be remotely close to it, but outside of Messi and Ronaldo, and potentially Falcao(I don't think he's been THAT good this year) the rest of the team is a joke. Alonso hasn't shown up to any big games, Xavi and Iniesta have been poor for them this year and not a one of those defenders is actually good defensively.

Though i'd check up on it.

its a world xi for 2012, posted actually in an utterly appropriate time, days after 2012 ended. THat I give them huge credit for PFA awards voted for basically midseason, lol. At least that is a team they've picked for a year and it happened after that year was over, and based on last year that, isn't a great team, but a far more accurate reflection of last year. But Muller, Lahm and, Baines or any number of better left backs should still be in there, and definitely two different cb's.
 
So looks like Wenger wont be leaving Arsenal for PSG as the rumours the other day were suggesting:p. Wants to stay at Arsenal past 2014 by the looks of it, this will no doubt enrage DM into a frothing frenzy im sure:p. Meh i was kinda hoping that Wenger would call it a day as he no longer can win us trophies and neither can we rely on him to sign some big name players.

Still want to see either Klopp or the outgoing Bayern manager, Heynckes or however you spell his name:, at Arsenal sometime in the future

just scrolling down that article, the number of people picking Hart is frightening. When he's good he's not even that good and when he's bad he'll cost you the game. Bizarre. Cech all day for me, De Gea has been fantastic but Cech's stability is nice.

The sense of entitlement from so many of them ****es me off to no end. Not saying it's all of them of course but it seems more fans of Chelsea than say City in their current position feel as though they should be above their current position and use Rafa as a scapegoat for where they are. Could you have done better with RDM? Maybe, but he'd already been knocked out of the CL and who's to say he'd have gone on and won the LC/FA Cup or been in a better position in the league.

I guess it come down to me finding the ****ish attitude beginning on Day 1 towards Rafa frustrating I guess :p.
