They're buying another world class midfielder to teach him how to dive and be a cry-baby Madrid player. Ahhhhhh theatrics~ Yup, that's what they're trying to do.

Alex Song is better and younger than Modric.

Lol because Barcelona never ever dive, right?
Younger: yes. Better: not yet and maybe not ever.

Well, some of the men, like Busquets, do dive sometimes but not all the time, and plus we have a lot of good guys on our team too, men that get kick up and still keep running, like Messi and Iniesta, unlike Madrid where only Modric is the only player that does not dive, but that's set to change soon.

Barca dive just as much as madrid. JS

 

[King Lawliet]

Still being ignorant I see

Alex Song and Luka Modrić are two completely different players who will most likely play different roles so there's no point in even comparing them. It's like trying to compare Dani Alves and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Barcelona has plenty of players who dive, I could probably name you an instance where nearly every player has dived and tried to con the referee on more than one occasion. Whatever your definition of "good guys" are, Real Madrid also have those too so saying that Modrić is the only player who doesn't dive is just being ignorant.

So, tomorrow it begins - the new season of EPL. Here are my predictions:

1. Manchester United
2. Manchester City
3. Arsenal
4. Chelsea
5. Newcastle
6. Liverpool
7. Tottenham
8. Everton
9. Stoke
10. Fulham

19. West Bromwich
20. Reading



BTW, is anyone else playing Fantasy Premier League? If you are, we could make a private league.

 

[ToeyJoey]

You guys seem to be rating Stoke rather highly, maybe without European football we might not fall off in the middle of the season... and apparently we bought Michael Kightly.

I'm already registered on Sky Sports, but considering it starts tomorrow we'd better be quick in setting it up!

Yeah, we did. Woot, another stokie on the forums. I wouldn't say we might not fall off, because we may have a couple of decent runs in the cups. FA Cup seems like it may be our better run, I reckon. That'll make some of the players tired...but we did great with European and Domestic Cup Football...

Mmmkay, I've set up a Fantasy Football league on Sky Sports for those interested. If you don't sign up soon you'll miss match day one, in which case, sucks to be you! =D

League Name: SPPF League
Pin: 8035953

 

[synthetica]

Unfortunately, I can't make an account on Sky Sports because I don't live in UK.

 

[The Benmeister]

Oh, that sucks, in that case if you set up one somewhere else I'll join that one.

 

[synthetica]

I'll make one here: http://fantasy.premierleague.com/

I'll let you know when I'm done.

Edit: I'm done, the code to join is 1655880-403563

 

[The Benmeister]

Made a team, unfortunately the deadline for the first gameweek has passed. Thankfully that means more time for anyone else to join I suppose.

 

[Fenix]

I'm tempted to join but I know I'll miss too many weeks so ehhhh

 

[synthetica]

I'll set it so that results from week 1 won't count.
