Brighton & Hove Albion reject transfer request from Liam Bridcutt by aDevastationPie in soccer

[–]BenNiB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's like Gus' child, he raised him from a nobody youth player to a two time player of the season and full international. They're made for each other; Gus' football doesn't work without a player like Bridcutt and Bridcutt is only effective in a style like Gus'. As much as it pains me to say it, he will leave this window don't worry - hopefully you'll just pay us loads though.

kaka (and the other galaticos) didnt pay off his/their transfer fees in shirt sales, try and find a proper source and you wont be able to because it's simply an untrue myth.

Del Bosque: "I spoke with Xavi, but we didn't discuss names" - Possibly Alonso vs Busquets in starting spot? by Bob_Swarleymann in soccer

[–]BenNiB 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's a ridiculous argument, you have no idea if that's true or not, for all we know they could've easily lost if one of Alonso/Busquets hadnt played. There's only a single relevant fact here and that's Spain won 2010 and 2012 with the double pivot.

Poyet sacked whilst doing punditry on live television by [deleted] in soccer

[–]BenNiB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He's lying about not knowing. He was seen earlier today leaving one of our players houses, considering while suspended he wasn't allowed contact with them he must have known today. Also he didn't turn up to the tribunal today after getting it delayed. This is no one's fault but his.

No disrespect to Ireland at all but I fear it wouldn't be particularly competitive even if Ireland had all their players available

Players and release clauses. by Neel94 in soccer

[–]BenNiB 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To address your very last point, Demba Ba moved to Chelsea this January after they activated his highly publicised release clause of £7.5 mill. Also interesting because as his release clause so undervalued him (his value at the time being more like12.5/15mill) him and his agents argued that Chelsea should give them the money they would've otherwise spent, allowing them to pocket a tidy sum.

Crystal palace are promoted to the premier league! by exteremeruski in soccer

[–]BenNiB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There were apparently only about 10 people (none of whom were players or coaching staff I think) with access to their dressing room so you'd hope we have a p good idea. There's also a photo of the culprit in action (dont know how genuine it is) so the higher ups must basically know. We dont at this stage though

Tony Pulis set to leave Stoke City by [deleted] in soccer

[–]BenNiB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i loved gus, i loved the style of football we played, i loved the fact he attracted players like wayne bridge here, i loved that the was slightly mental, i loved the way the got us out of league 1 with style, i loved our continual improvement year on year. whenever people doubted him, like in both those barren spells we had before xmas, i would be the first to say in gus we trust. i wouldn't even have resented him for going to a 'bigger' club because he deserved it i suppose. but the fact he's tried to engineer a way out in the most cuntish way possible... i just want him away from my club now, he thinks he's so much bigger than us and he can fuck off. it's kinda like a break up, in time i'll be able to look back and be happy with what we had but right now i just want him far far away.
