And hopefully Chelsea beat Arsenal 5-0 so that Arsene Wenger wakes up and realises that kids, in this case incompetent kids, will never win him titles. A couple of Arshavin will do him a world of wonders next season.
 
His last couple of years he suffered several injuries, his physical fitness dropped a lot. However, the man u fan and I were discussing behaviour NOT form. Ronaldinho was never arrogant with coaches or fans. I distinctly remember him being angry after being substituted against Zaragoza in the cup but he was never arrogant.
 
DEportivo, the first video you posted is just plain sick man! I mean talk about talent and people driving blind folded. TBH the F1 has been amazing in the past and last years final race final corner title decider was mouth watering, but what is happening to the number of rule changes and the economic and financial strains thrown at them is making it extremely hard for teams except the big ones with loads of resources.

P.S: I am not saying which is better WRC or F1 but I am a fan of cars and watching races, so for me personally I would go with the F1 because it is more exciting actually seeing someone go past someone rather than just waiting for racers to cross the finish line and clock who was the fastest. :D
 
Yeah both take a lot of skill, training and endurance. I started to like the WRC more when certain mr.Schumacher came along. But now they are both gone down the gutters. The WRC cars look like castrated house cats with a lil bit of purring. For some reason have stopped watching F1 also. Now i like the occasional crashes and highlights. I do though keep myself in the loop and this years Brawn domination is so funny.

THe year they decided to start giving 8 points to the second place killed the racing spirit. Sort of like defensive football...its just makes more sense to finish 2nd or 3rd and not go after the 1st place.

Yeah, Märtin was amazing in his heyday. Really competitive bunch at some season. Him, Burns, McRae, Grönholm, Solberg, Löeb.

That vid also showed exactly how much you trust the co-driver and his data about the corners. Basically blindfolded and the guy next to you tells in what speed and angle you have to go to the corner. If i remember correctly Märtin won that rally and was pretty high up on that stage also.

Sadly out of them Burns died of cancer, McRae helicopter crash and Märtin quit after his co-driver Michael Park got killed in a accident where they hit a tree...

Yeah, it takes IRONballs to drive about 200kmph in a forest on gravel...Henri Toivonen, the guy in my third vid, managed to comment on his last rally that if he happens to make a mistake or the car has some problems, he is effectively dead. Wonder what happened...
 
Congratulations to Manchester United for their 3rd straight Premiership title.

Fantastic team.

:)
 
No doubt about it , great team.
 
Wait till 27th May and then we'll see if they are that great.
 
Yeah congrats to them :thumbsup:

Funny how English media always talks about how La Liga is only Barcelona, Madrid. Well the EPL seems to be only about Manchester...:rollani:

That said, Manchester are the only ones who deserve, not just cause they are the best in England, but one of the best in Europe :thumbsup: Pool, Chelsea and Arsenal are just second class...
 
Fletcher may not be the most technically skilled player in the World, but he's been good for them and quite clutch. They may seem like average players, but they contribute.
i know they're a good team man but when i was bashing them a while ago they were having an average game so i asked if this is how they always play or if this was a one off...

one of their fans here on XT confirmed to me at the time that they always play like that :)
