I wouldnt. He needs hundreds of chances to score, and he is too much of an individual player. And no, he is a cheater. Why do you want to defend him? He handled the ball to score the GW goal against a 5th division side. Most players want to win with every ounce of ability, but most of those players are not cheats like Suarez. ---------- Post added January-6th-2013 at 03:05 PM ---------- who do the US play this month?

Suarez is a cheater, and dont get mad at the media for talking about it.

but he is a cheat? if you want to get upset at someone, get mad at Suarez for cheating.

I heard that story before. Joke of a franchise.

Has their been a bigger fraud in premiership football over the last 10-15 years than Martin [redacted for fear of a lawsuit]? Dude has done nothing with Sunderland and cried about not getting enough money at Villa despite him buying crap and spending the 4th most money in the league during his time there. And to top it off, he said he didnt rate Zlatan for no reason which has lead to a generation of English fans not realizing how great a talent Zlatan is. They took it from a guy who has a British-based players only transfer policy. Told you Arlo White is a beast. He has a golden voice too.

hell to the no to Calipari

I said this before the draft, I said it at the beginning of the season, and you guys are seeing it now. ---------- Post added December-30th-2012 at 12:17 PM ---------- Cousins is not getting traded. The Maloofs are the ones who ended his suspension by going over the coach and GM's head.

Fixed that for you. Tony Fernandes is about to get rinsed in the transfer market again, this time by Football's greatest con man 'Arry Redknapp.

im not underselling Noel at all, its more about how amazing an athlete Drummond is. Drummond was the fastest player on UConn' team last year. He is an explosive leaper, and a quick leaper. Drummond is an amazing athlete, especially when you remember that he is 275 lbs. And he has a 7'6" wingspan. Drummond was more athletic than Dwight Howard was in 2004. ---------- Post added December-29th-2012 at 09:55 PM ---------- in the 2013 NBA Draft, Zeller is a top 3/4 pick.

Shabazz and Kyrie would be a bad pairing, imo. Kyrie needs to distribute the ball more to get the best out of that pairing. Who could be good is Michael Carter-Williams and Kyrie. It would allow Kyrie to play off the ball a lot more and the Cavs not lose much with regards to back court size. The problem with Carter-Williams is that Boeheim has a terrible history with churning out star NBA players. he has an up and under move which we dont even see Dwight use. Noel has nothing.

Noel isnt in Drummond's class of athleticism and size. And Drummond has a back to the basket game. I said it last year, and I will say it again, Drummond's problems were more with the mess that UConn was with coaching and point guard play than anything he did wrong. Jeremy Lamb also.

im aware, which is why I laughed at the thought. I only went further when you replied that "anything is possible," and cited Arsenal not keeping players as a reason in an attempt to escalate the possibility of Theo going to Liverpool. I then stated that players end up in better situations than Arsenal, and Liverpool isnt that. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20828488

players end up going to clubs that are in a better position than Arsenal. You know that isnt Liverpool, lets not kid ourselves here. The only thing Liverpool can promise Theo is that he will play central striker, they wont be able to pay him or promise the chance at trophies. Its not happening, and I think Sturridge being signed by Liverpool shows they wont make a move for Theo.

Theo going to Liverpool? :hysterical: Theo and Bale are the same player, imo.

Aston Villa have so far been outscored 14-0 during this Christmas period.

you must not just press and ball chase tho You push your backline higher up to congest the field, and a player presses their zone if the ball is there, while his teammates mark the passing options. Pressing is usually done in your attacking half.

I give them credit for coming up with the names, but 27 premiership players smack of premiership bias and the non-English based names are the players you would expect to be named in one of these lists. I do give credit for recognizing how good a team Shaktar is, but I wonder if they would have included those players before they outplayed Chelsea twice? for me? Buffon in goal Marcelo at left back, Lahm at right back. Centerbacks would be Vidic and Thiago Silva Busquets, Xavi, and Yaya in central midfield Cronado, Cavani, and Messi up top bench would have van Persie, Manuel Neur, Dani Alves, Iniesta, Sergio Ramos, Chiellini, Falcao. Aguero, Silva, Kompany, Zlatan, Casillias, Mascherano, Cesc, would all be thereabouts if others want to name their World Class players, id love to see it. ---------- Post added December-28th-2012 at 10:56 AM ---------- ok, so if it isnt tactics and its players, then why are Premiership teams getting their butts kicked in Europe the last few seasons? Especially since they have all these top players you keep talking about? ---------- Post added December-28th-2012 at 10:59 AM ---------- thats wsup, congratulations. Im glad he won.

apologies, I forgot about him. Kun Aguero is def a guy who is world class. The rest of those names tho Vermaelen is a painfully average centerback who is probably 3rd best at Arsenal, and I say this as an Arsenal fan. Giroud and Cisse? Joe Hart? :hysterical: The rest of those names are ridiculous. Compare the names I mentioned from 4-5 years ago and look at the names you tried to pass off as world class. Not even in the same stratosphere. That doesnt mean the premier league isnt entertaining, but their has been a decline in star talent over the last 5 years. A major decline. a) The Guardian is based where? do yourself a favor and look at some of the names on that list. Gerrard Pique has been doo doo since he started dating Shakira and he made their top 25. Patrice Evra also.The worst name mentioned is Diego Forlan who is struggling to score for Internacional. Puyol mentioned as well and at 34 despite being injured most of the last 3 years, lol. The only thing I will give them props for is putting Xavi over Iniesta, but thats it. That list is horrible. ---------- Post added December-28th-2012 at 10:02 AM ---------- who said La Liga is better? But the true world class players are in that league. The premiership is the most entertaining league in the world, but its lacking football wise, imo. I think Bundesliga is a better league, and technically the Serie A has it. Shoot, even looking at La Liga, you can rag on that league all you want but their top 4 teams would give the two Manchester squads a great match and would be favored over the other three or four top four contenders They have also been more successful than the premiership in Europa League/UEFA Cup over the last 5 seasons.

I think the Premiership is kind of a joke. The top of the league is terrible. One of the best players in the league this season came from a club that was 15th place in Spain. Look at the league, who are the world class players? RVP, Yaya, Silva, Sagna, and Maybe Vidic depending on his health, but that is pretty much it. The league can be won with weak midfields, look at Manchester United. And of course the top players are only at a handful of clubs, that was true in the premiership too? The top players were at United, Chelsea, City, and Liverpool. All I know is 4 years ago, the premiership had players at the peak of their powers like Cesc Fabregas, Cristiano Ronaldo, Didier Drogba, Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres, Javier Mascherano, Xabi Alonso, Paul Scholes, Rio Ferdinand, Nmanja Vidic, Pepe Reina, Edwin Van der Sar, Petr Cech, Frank Lampard, Claude Makelele, Michael Essian, Ashley Cole, Patrice Evra, the racist captain of Chelsea and thats off the top of my head. Those guys were world class talents playing in the league all at the same time. If you want the league of stars, they play in Spain. The best foreign players do not play in the premiership anymore. its true. That summer of 2009' date=' the league changed. I am not saying its all because of Cronaldo leaving, but their has been a steep decline in talent in the premiership. ---------- Post added December-27th-2012 at 07:09 PM ---------- Different strokes for different folks, but Arlo is a lot more knowledgeable of the sport than Ian Darke, imo. And his voice is so smooth.

The premiership is behind the rest of Europe tactically, imo And the best foreign players and managers do not reside in England anymore. The league has been on a decline since Cronaldo was sold, imo.

I suggest you listen to a game with Arlo White. Arlo White>>>>Ian Darke I think football coverage in this country will explode when NBC gets it. They present sports better than every other network we have in this country. They have done a great job with MLS this year. ---------- Post added December-27th-2012 at 12:15 PM ---------- I love it all, I love Serie A. The premiership is kind of a joke to me now. The top teams arent that good and no one can defend anymore. Tactics have been thrown out the window too.

Nene has a bad contract that will only get worse. I get that he is a professional and good, but thats a horrible contract. Young good big man on his rookie deal>>>>>old good big man on bad contracts who have an injury history.

if Nene wants to be traded, I would be sooooooo happy.
