Enjoy the action (Apologies for the late start, I've been sick since yesterday. I'll include the rest of today's TV schedule shortly).
Herc Gomez hit another today, again as a sub. Dude is en fuego. What 8 goals in 10 games or some such? 2nd leading goal scorer in clausera 2010? Herc, keep on ripping till someone picks up the bat phone.
herculez gomez nets again, again as a sub.
(Puebla is crazy for not starting him) and Bob Bradley needs to give him a serious look in turkey/czech repub friendlies. He is one of the hottest strikers in the world right now!
Well it seems like another decent Saturday for our boys.
Well, I hope Jozy does go back to Spain next year, a league less physical with petite players sounds like a good idea considering he has been playing in the NFL for most of the season. It seems he would average more goals in a league less competitive than the EPL, I hope that’s his destination.
Bayern will knock out United on Wednesday… Man United is zippo without Rooney. The rest of the team are really just hard working team players. Man U has always relied on some sort of enigma to win their titles..
Rooney, Ronaldo, van Nistelrooy, Cantona…
Let’s hope CD-9000 is giving Holden some tips/mojo/karma on rapid healing.
That’s funny.
charlie davies is watching bolton game w/holden
just herd that the Burnley game could be rained out… which would mean a replay!
“Who knew he was box to box!!!!”
No offense, but anyone who has watched him.
Now reporting from the depths of the German Bundesliga. I am listening to the Cologne-Berlin game and the reporter mentioned that Cologne’s Columbian goalie Mondragón wants to move to MLS. In fact, the report said that two teams are watching him. As for Mondragón, he says he wants to stay in Cologne until the team has secured its place in the Bundesliga, then talk about his future.
2 good saves by Gomes is how.
Yes.
Dear god, just saw the man city scoreline, are they that good or is burnley that bad?!?!?!
I’m saying.
Those three are a Murder’s Row of a front-line.
With that said, god bless Maradona. Who else would give us such side-pains from laughter after getting randomly bit in the face by a dog.
The man is priceless..(especially if authorities are asking in relation to taxation)
5-0 now… I smell another Villa-like defeat in the making…
Good question. I know that Messi and Tevez, yes. Higuain with the other two, I don’t know. Those three playing would be a formidable force up front. But then again, Diego has no idea what the heck he is doing.
poor Burnley
thats something bad today man lol
I haven’t watched Argentina in the build up to the WC this summer:
Does Maradona play; HiguaÃn, Tevez AND Messi in the same starting 11?
good game for Marcus, but Arsenal can always pull it off at the end against 10 men, except Barca.
Any questions as to whether or not Burnley going down? 🙂
yeah but i love that Burnley goalkeeper, looks like he just left the pub!
Make it 4-0 for Manchester City
I think Jozy is much better off in the EPL, so I hope that doesn’t happen. the guy just doesn’t fit the spanish style.
thank the baby jesus!
I concur with you, my friend… 🙂
hear hear
It’s a small consilation that at least Hull aren’t the worst team to take the field today. I have to give that distinction to Burnley
he was offside…
I’m watching the game and Tevez is just wrecking havoc.
I have a feeling that if Villareal sell Rossi this summer to say.. Juventus, I think they could recall Jozy
Hah! So much for my late April Fool’s actually working on anyone… Too outlandish!
3-0 in six minutes for Man City. Incredible!
While the Jozy updates roll in (thanks viewers, for those of us at work):
Any fun speculation, opinions or other chatter on where we might see/want Jozy to land next year?
(DP for NYRB isn’t a valid answer…ha, regardless of what Jozy himself says)
I would like that combo too but I think Mo/MB would be best for the team. Mo is more of a defensive mid and lets Bradley free to roam in the box where he has proved he is dangerous. With Torres in, Bradley has more defensive responsibilities and can’t get forward as often.
I just read Cooper Sr’s twitter page:
” My son and I are looking forward to his start this summer in South Africa, alongside that Jozy kid. ”
haha!! didn’t know there were other simmons fans on here. i get a little bummed by his “interest in soccer,” whenever he talks it just kinda shows he still doesn’t understand it all
Jozy updates would be appreciated.
looks like gladbach is blowing another one. were up 1-0 to stuttgart and now down 2-1.
Conclusions:
1) Edu clearly man of the match. Excellent performance with a goal.
2) Jozy needs to start and play 90. Only Boateng’s injury stopped him from getting Hull back on track.
3) Geovanni is far too selfish to be a playmaker.
I never realized just how garbage Hull is until right now. They looked completely clueless about where and when to play the ball
Why is everybody surprised that Hull suck. We know it. Hull players suck, Jozy is god, I get it.
Nice one Geovani, Jozy told you where he wanted it, and you run into 3 defenders. You’re not MESSI!
And Arsenal just scored a late winner
I think Hull took way too long to sack Brown
will Hull sack another manager
Marcus and the Wolves keeping Arsenal scoreless… While Stoke just scored a second goal.
I still think we go with Mike and torres
Nice goal for Sunderland…
Yes. Shoot.
any one else lose the hull stream?
