OB, that pic is too big (or so says the avatar upload thing).

Find a smaller one while I try and figure out how to resize it

As a United fan I think I've never wanted City to win out more than ever. Can't let liverpuke win a title on our down year.

Or they could both drop points and let Chelsea slide in ;).


Perfect scenario - Everton beats City. Newcastle beats Liverpool. Chelsea wins out.

Anyone see Dani Alves eat the banana that was thrown at him during a corner kick today? Pretty funny way to throw racism back in the face of the fans.

Just watched it. Hilarious.

Does anyone see the hypocrisy of making racial taunts to another team's black player, when your team has black people on them as well? Crazy, illogical spaniards.

Nice win for Chelsea. Not sure if they can get the EPL, so at this point all I care about is winning the next two matches in the Champions League.

I actually want Chelsea to win. I like Jose. Just need Liverpool to lose, City seems to drop points randomly.

Well, Madrid is though. lol

Maybe this will lead to Pep leaving Bayern and coming back to Barca! One can only hope!

I dont know that he is at that point yet. Does he want to take a year off (essentially) to wait for Euros, and then again for the WC?

Did you read that somewhere or just a guess?

I wouldnt be surprised if he took that job at some point though.

I've seen speculation that Del Bosque hangs it up after the cup. Pep replacing him was a guess on my part. He'd be the natural first choice.

Gotcha. Yeah, I dont see how Del Bosque keeps on going. I just dont see Pep going that route in his career yet. The National team only plays so many meaningful games a year, Im just not sure he wants to give up the coaching yet. You just dont coach the players enough as the Nat. coach. Not enough time with them.

I warned you OB1!! This was a horrible match-up for Jose and Chelsea. Madrid looked amazing yesterday, but wouldve been a much more favorable match-up.

Atleti is the best team in La Liga, which is possibly the best league in Europe.

So, naturally, Madrid will win 5-0 in Lisbon lol

I didn't get to watch. However, I still think after watching Real, that we would have lost either way.

What a boring UCL final.

Real looked amazing. But Chelsea played right into what Athleti wants. They have an amazing defense, and a great counter. But, with Chelsea not really possessing, it allowed them to dictate how they like (they are similar to Barca), Real is more of an English style club in their attack and defense. Would've been a better matchup, style wise, but you're probably right...the talent on Real would've likely won out anyway.

The huge news we all talked about months ago will be confirmed today. Copa America is coming the USA in 2016! Cant fucking wait. Copa in the morning and Euros at night. Glorious.

Seriously though as much as Americans complain about the morality of our society we just had an owner suspended for life over being secretly recorded telling his girlfriend that he doesn't want her to bring black people to games. Heck we don't even allow gays to marry in this country when all of Western Europe does

We wouldnt allow someone to ever be back in the arena if there were bananas thrown and racist remarks chanted.

Donald Sterling is a horrible example for you, because Americans acted on it quickly and had him removed. This shit is "banned" in Europe...but nothing is EVER done about it.

As for all of Western Europe...hardly.

Belgium, Denmark, France, Iceland, Netherlands,[SUP][/SUP] Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, UK

So, 10/23 countries.
