I watched Liverpool Sunderland the other night.

I'm curious if you guys would agree that the Premier League has a higher proclivity for goons and argy-bargy than the other pro leagues.

You didn't watch last night's El Classico then....

:lol:
That's awesome!
The contrast between the Geordie and the Yank is super stark.

QuoteExtreme Geordie. I've seen him commentate other games, he gets so ridiculously excited.
Not so extreme imo, you can hear him toning it down a lot.

QuoteThat is how I assume Josq talks.
ish.
My accent is to that what Sean Connery is to normal Scottish. In the same ballpark but...better.

I didn't see that game.
But I guess it was Cattermole?
Despite being a midget he comes very much from the old fashioned 'hard man' style of player, ala Vinnie Jones.


On the subject of the north east: Newcastle-Sunderland at noon GMT today. Ha'way the lads!

Cattermole doesn't sound right.  Defensive midfield I think based on where he was doing most of his smacking.  Liverpool player.

Lucas plays the DM role for Liverpool but you might be thinking of Charlie Adam. He was giving away a lot of fouls last week if I remember right.

Champions League

A: Bayern München, FC Villarreal, Manchester City, SSC Neapel.
B: Inter Mailand,ZSKA Moskau, OSC Lille, Trabzonspor.
C: Manchester United, Benfica Lissabon, FC Basel, FC Otelul Galati.
D: Real Madrid, Olympique Lyon, Ajax Amsterdam, Dinamo Zagreb.
E: FC Chelsea, FC Valencia, Bayer Leverkusen, KRC Genk.
F: FC Arsenal, Olympique Marseille, Olympiakos Piräus, Borussia Dortmund.
G: FC Porto, Schachtjor Donezk, Zenit St. Petersburg, Apoel Nikosia.
H: FC Barcelona, AC Mailand, Bate Borissow, Viktoria Pilsen.

Bayern has a really hard group, Dortmund could do it, Leverkusen won't win against Valencia and Chelsea.

Neapel?

My favourite Serie A team is Napoli, and yeah, that group's gonna be a bitch. B'lona and Milan should make for a great match up. Group G should be called the "ain't no winners coming out of this group."

Porto lost the manager and some important players, but they did win the Europe League last year.

I am shocked, shocked to see Manchester United get another easy route to the knock-out stages.
