World Football Thread XIX: Capello to the Rescue!

£100 million for Kaka is pretty stupid though, unless they can end up selling him and using the loss as a tax write off...

[duke o' york]

I can't see them having enough taxable profits to actually use the loss for a long time....

[MOBIUS]

Hey Cort, you making the trip down the M4 to see Arsenal get dumped out of the FA Cup?

Kaka turned it down

Glad Spurs didn't sign that ***** Bellamy either.

No, I'll see it on telly. I'll be making the trip down the Holloway Road for the West Ham game though.

Have you made up your mind which club you support yet?

I know which one I support! The sucky ass one

You're a gooner now?

Look a bit further down the table .

Stoke or WBA?

QFT.

Not quite Stoke or WBA. By way of a clue, we're currently level on points and goal difference with our rivals but above them on goals scored, and the great unwashed are coming to visit us a week on Sunday (probably to leave with three points )

Spurs are lucky SOBs. I hope they get crushed in the final...

You would rather Man Utd win another trophy? Burnley deserved to go through, but seriously.

West Ham thru and thru, mate.

The avatar was a hangover from the FA Cup Final.

I'm hoping Cardiff get promoted and then I'll be able to see them play here at least one game (assuming we're not relegated!). I've managed both the Championship play-off games, and the FA Cup since being here, so the odd Premiership game would be a bonus.

As for Cardiff City, they're now my surrogate team since it's a long way to Upton Park from here...

Burnley were great in this tournament. Played proper football too. As for the Rags, it's always a dark day when you need them to win a game, but needs must when the devil drives etc.

Mind you, I'd happily trade in another Mickey Mouse Cup for Tottnumb for them being relegated in the same season. The wear-and-tear of playing in the Wafer Cup together with the busy schedule of the Championship would make it very tough to get promoted.

I'd rather a **** team like Tottenham lose like the crap that they are than a plucky team like Burnley have their heartsbroken after playing a proper cup match. Man Utd are going to beat Spurs anyway so it wouldn't matter if you won.
