CL Quarterfinals
« on: March 31, 2008, 04:50:39 PM » |

http://soccernet.espn.go....efa.champions&cc=5901Tuesday and Wednesday - early matches. Set your PVRs. Arsenal v. Pool is the best match on paper. United should handle Roma no problem. Barcelona v. Schalke shouldn't be much of a match to be honest but who knows. I won't watch Chelsea v. Fenerbahce because *fudge* them that's why.  For you hobbit...

Thanks for the reminder, hmmmm lessseee, do I have anything on my plate Tomorrow and Wednesday. *Seamus leafs through calendar* NOPE! All clear. PS. Someday I would love to hear the stories as why you guys have so much venom towards certain teams. Growing up on the left coast and not having a professional "anything" until I was older, I kind of missed out on all that "generational" hatred of franchises. Damn.  |

My hatred of the Blues is fairly recent. Their owner for the past five years or so, Russian oilman Roman Abramovich, has dropped a fortune on the transfer market in an effort to buy silverware. This has artificially inflated the value of players worldwide and now we're at a spot where only the richest clubs have any chance at a title. I lay the blame squarely at his feet. Plus they play the most boring brand of football anywhere. It's painful to watch. |

I have no problem with a franchise spending money, but they have done it with no development at all. Its purely free agent spending without any team building at all. As much as the locals like to accuse my team, Arsenal, of bringing in nothing but foreigners - they have done it by developing young players... no overspending, no quick fix solutions (even though I wanted them too a few months ago). And Uisce - I appreciate the thought, but I still didn't switch to DirectTV and Setanta - no live games for me |

And Uisce - I appreciate the thought, but I still didn't switch to DirectTV and Setanta - no live games for me Barca v. Schalke is on Setanta but United v. Roma is on ESPN(HD). Not sure about Wednesday but my guess Reds v. Gunners will be on ESPN and the Chelsea match will be on Setanta. I hope anyway. |

Reserve teams have their own matches, there are multiple divisions within each national organization (English F.A. has about ten), players are loaned to lesser leagues - often in other countries, youth academies (some better than others) and so on. |
