I sincerely hope Neymar doesn't live up to the hype, I've a completely biased view of him being a totally arsehat and for no reason bar just not liking him for no reason.

It's not a funny thing, it's media hype. They've only ever been nine points down with like... 57 points left to play for. Never a crisis, just a bad start. Of course, but this season it's not given that Rosenborg will win it. The loss of Annan has been devastating. 0-0 today, not very impressive. Then again, I don't see who else is gonna win. The results are so random, man.. It's still only media hype, the only "unnatural" occurances have been Rosenborg and Vålerenga's bad start. Strømsgodset, Tromsø and Molde have great teams and are where they're meant to be. Been a few freak results here and there, but that's the same in basically every league. Looking at the table, it doesn't look unnatural whatsoever bar Rosenborg and Vålerenga and a somewhat tighter than usual mid-table. That should clear itself up by the 20th round or so, though, as it always does. The standard just isn't great in the Norwegian league, and the teams that do well one season tend to sell the players that made them do well and thus fall down the table in the next season. Only teams that should do well from year to year are Rosenborg, Vålerenga and Molde as they're the only team with a reasonable amount of money on their bank account. The rest will randomly fill the table from year to year depending on which teams have not sold the players making them decent yet. Look at Tromsø now, they'll sell themselves out of the title race again as they always do when they have a golden generation. It's about sustainability economically for most clubs, not silverware. Whcih is why the standard of the league is as low as it is.

It's not a funny thing, it's media hype. They've only ever been nine points down with like... 57 points left to play for. Never a crisis, just a bad start.

First someone nicks the NBA threa from Mike, and now they nick the betting thread from me. No respect for annual thread starters these days. Put on my usual Rosenborg bet along with a Godset/Tromsø/Bodø treble.

Yeah, almost good enough to not make me dissapointed the US didn't win it.

African age jokes could be funny if it wasn't for the fact we've literally watched Adu grow up. (Size, albeit not to a very tall size. )

Adu's done really well tonight tbh, almost looked as good as it said on the tin eight years ago.

Those Mexicans would be better with Santi Munez on their team, tbh.

4 appereances.

Still can't believe the corrupt FiFa cunts gave the '22 WC to fucking Qatar above the US.

Cunts.

Fuck.

Donovan!

Sexy Bradley.

ye i think he will. in talks with 2 german teams though. 1 is ment to be werder bremen so i think u writing him off at 20 looks like its already false lol. only 2.5m great price to Singh's not in talks with anyone the size of Werder Bremen, or it'd be all over the Norwegian news. Also he'll not cost £2.5m with one year and five months left on his contract, maybe £1.5m. Antony Ujah, perhaps the best player currently in the Norwegian league, is leaving for about £2.5m to a Mainz (or FC Copenhagen who's trying to trump their wage offer).

Not the Germany team, the Bayern Münich team. Unless JS got confused and meant the German team.

No-one on this board has seen this supposed "buy-out" clause. It may very well only permit initial talks. Then it wouldn't be a "buy-out" clause.

He'd be available for like £500k or less, tbh. What with 5 months left of his contract and all.

now that could be him! Don't think many were impressed with his dive judging by the reactions! It's because footballers shouldn't be diving.

Link?

Douglas says he will be announced July 1st.

Is it 10 tonight or 10 tomorrow morning the stories come online?
