Mokong Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Have set up the usual temp board for the World Cup and opening it now, bit early but I'm gonna be away for the next week and a bit and figured with the warm up friendlies coming up the weekend there might be some need for World Cup talk before I come back. http://www.n-europe.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=79 Same drill as usual, I've got threads set up for each round, only mods and admins can create new threads but if you have a topic you would like to discuss post the thread suggestion in the General/Welcome thread and a mod or admin will sort it out.

Fierce_LiNk Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 So, Barcelona are apparently willing to sell Fabregas. He'll probably end up at Arsenal, although I think it would be a great move to go to United. We'll be in the running for him, no doubt, especially after how we pursued him last year.

Emerald Emblem Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Frank Lampard's Chelsea career is over, he's going to end his career in the states for New York City FC, yet to be confirmed by the big sports sites though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald Emblem Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Congrats to the Arsenal Ladies completing the FA cup double for the club. Considering the Ladies are bottom of the WPL it was a dominant performance and could have been more than 2-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I don't understand how the Ladies league works, how come they have their cup final midway through the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramar Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 I don't understand how the Ladies league works, how come they have their cup final midway through the season? I think the Woman's Super League only changed to a summer league this season. God knows how they schedule FA Cup games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kav Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) Frank Lampard has confirmed he's leaving Chelsea after having been there 13 years. What a Legend he's been for the Club, it'll be sad seeing him ply his trade elsewhere. 648 Games 211 Goals 3 Premier Leagues 4 FA Cups 2 League Cups 1 Champions League 1 Europa League Edited June 3, 2014 by Kav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekunando Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I certainly wouldn't say I'm excited about the signing, but Rickie Lambert does seem absolutely delighted about his boyhood dreams coming true.. June 2014 will surely be one of the biggest moments of his life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzybee Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Sell Suarez, buy lambert... Think this is a bizarre signing, the kind of signing you would've made under commoli. But it's cheap I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzybee Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Yeh.. we should have bought Soldado.. Haha, laugh all you like but he'll come good next season, his record speaks for itself and many players struggle on their first season. Suarez took a couple of seasons to start scoring, couple of seasons ago he couldn't score for anything and I'm sure had one of the worst strike rates in the country.

Ramar Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 He took about 15 minutes into his debut to start scoring Gutted, Solpeno needed 50 minutes and a dodgy decision. Never mind, always next season eh? Just realised, dazzy's current favourite Arsenal wasteman, Podolski, scored more goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did Solpeno achieve previously? A La Liga title with Real Madrid when you play 5 games (presumably sub appearances) and score 0 goals does not count.

The three years before he signed for us he'd scored more la liga goals in those three years than anyone else! (Though I may be wrong on this ) But 59 goals in 88 starts is pretty good for not playing for one of the two teams in a two team league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Unless of course you are excluding the two who finished above him, in which case Chelsea just won the league..) La Liga Goals: 12/13, 11/12, 10/11.

Dude.. bit of an overreaction I was only messing about! I actually never really liked Soldado, even before you signed him, but that's nothing really to do with his qualities. I'm not much of a Lambert fan either but I guess we'll see how he gets on for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not much of a Lambert fan either but I guess we'll see how he gets on for us I wouldn't want lambert personally and think it is a weird signing. But he's certainly affective and at that price it's not a massive gamble for a back up striker. Do you think you'll keep Suarez? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 The Premier League is suddenly losing all of these quality players. No Vidic, Ferdinand, Giggs, Lampard any more. That generation is almost gone. Sad to see them go. Lambert to Liverpool is a weird signing, but it'll provide cover/an option from the bench, which is what I expect he'll be used as. He's not good enough to displace Sturridge or Suarez from the starting 11, but he can come in and do a job in the second half or if they become injured. As long as he accepts that, he'll be fine. Southampton are going to struggle next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
