Sorry must've skipped past this with the other discussion going on :lol:

Same **** could happen to Napoli but now you're sounding like a true football fan, all negative Nancy and **** :D


Lol I think my logic is spot on. Meanwhile they both continue to prove their superiority over the rest of the league today. They play each other on the 13th in Torino, it should be a great match

I have a few questions regarding this. You say this and yet wasn't Turco/Batu going against Muslera being top 5? I'm pretty sure they were on the sane side regarding this, I need confirmation.

If he is as good as you say he is then how come none of the big teams ever went for him? Especially since you've been saying this for a few years now and he's still 28 right now, you'd think a team would want to invest in a young, top 5 GK in the world entering his prime.

Lastly, I'm pretty sure you don't watch the EPL, BuLi, Serie A, La Liga as much as A LOT of people here do apart from maybe the big games, CL or highlights so how can you say who is and isn't a top 5 GK? How would you know? All we're saying is that in order to be a top 5 GK you have to at least be in the top leagues to prove it, he needs better competition to prove this claim. If you watch Gala religiously, of course you're going to have more exposure to Muslera and hence he's top 5 to you, which is an opinion I'm ok with, but to consistently claim it despite the contrary is where you often get vilified on this and other things.


I remember Turco was saying Muslera is very good. But you know what? Forget about Turco, he is a Galatasaray fan. Ask other Turks around you. Ask anyone who watches Turkish League. Everyone will tell you the same thing. Ask Batu who is a Besiktas fan. He will tell you. Muslera is top 5 GK in the world.

I am always off on the weekends. I watch football all day. I watch EPL, Serie A and La Liga a lot. Little bit of Bundesliga but I used to follow Buli a lot as well.

Who said no one made an offer for him?

He is one of the players where our board can't sell unless we receive a great bid. He is untouchable in our squad. Literally everyone adores him and this make pretty difficult to sell and he is extremely happy in Istanbul.


All I see here is excuses. You were talking some major smack talk about Gala battering Arsenal and Dortmund, and Yilmaz scoring 5 goals against Per (or something to that effect), at least man up to this.


There is no excuse. My team sucked due to our coach and we lost. What is there to give you an excuse? I wish Fatih Terim stayed, then we would be able to see what we could do against them.

Doesn't matter if their fans or anybody wasn't thinking that Germany was gonna win, at the end of the day they're the World champions, something you said would never happen.


It does matter. I said what everyone was thinking. I haven't seen any single member who said no Germany will win. Even Germans did not say that. So, everybody was wrong then why only me?

Who the hell cares about Arsenal fans booing? Everybody in this country knows how most of them (even Arsenal fans) are spoilt and fickle those people are, all you have to do is watch the Arsenal TV post match crap. Same goes for most Real Marid fans, heck same goes for every football fan on this planet.

You're a finance guy right? You like numbers, so in his 3 years at RM he accumulated (in all competitions) 7 goals/23 assists, 6 goals/20 assists, 10 goals/17 assists. Yeah sure, he only had one good year at RM. Please.


He got booed at Real Madrid too. He got booed at Arsenal too. Who says they are spoiled? Their team paid him 50 million euro, he has to show up everyday and give his %100 every match and training. As I said before, you play with Benzema, prime Cristiano Ronaldo etc etc. OF course you are going to get the stats. Here we go, Ozil is gone, James came in, he is having better stats than Ozil when he was healthy. They are scoring over 100+ goals every year, playing against Sporting Gijon, Malaga etc. Obviously if you are an attacker, you'll score a lot and make assists a lot. Highly inflated. What he is doing this year is amazing though.

This is the first ever post I've ever seen you admit you were wrong despite the substantial evidence on some of your claims and I applaud that now, but don't come up and say "at least I can admit it" like you've been doing it this whole time.


I always do when I am wrong. It happens so rarely. That's why you don't think I admit things.

For example, with your claims regarding Kondogbia being the 2nd best in Serie A, now I'm going to admit that I haven't seen much of him (not like he can get on the pitch anyway) but if you even watched even the highlights of the Serie A last year, you'd know that the midfields of Serie A is way more technical and tactical compared to Ligue 1 and despite him having all of the physical/technical traits to succeed. One of the reasons why he can't get on the pitch is because he doesn't have the tactical nous to even warrant any meaningful minutes. Now I hope he does learn because he's a huge talent, but the talent level between Ligue 1 and Serie A is big.


One of the things why he doesn't play is Mancini. He is a horrible coach.

i was going against melo being top 5, which is ridiculous.

muslera is very good, dont know about top 5 but he is not far off for sure. very rare you see a goalkeeper carrying a team to success almost single handedly like he did for gala last year. similar story in '10 world cup, he was dominant for the most part and i would argue he had bigger impact than forlan for a team that was on the verge of world cup final. he had inconsistent seasons in between but when he is on like last year, no doubt he is among the best in the world.

Icardi hits post on his PK and Bacca goes to put Milan up 2-0 off a nice cross from Niang. Good to see Inter continue to suck


Edit 3-0

Inter was gonna win the league, though, if it wasnt for Juve winning 10+ straight.

I'd say Mancini had them overachieving and they are back to their usual self now lmao.

Muslera is not a top 5 goalkeeper in the world but he is very very good.

Haha trolls are gonna troll. They were all quiet when inter was on top but now they are like rats came out from their hidden places lmaoo

Mancini sucks! But they will still finish ahead of Roma. They need to look for a proper coach next year though. They still should be able to finish top 3.

And yes Melo top 5 DM in the world if you know how to use him. You can watch 12-13 Galatasaray to see how he got us into quarter final in cl.

I thought only No_20 was using ancient data to prove his points. Here we have another one of those people stuck in the past.

El Sha scores again to seal the win for Roma. Looking like a good signing so far.

I can't believe Berardi skied a pk in the last few mins that would have tied it, but super happy for El Sha. Him and Eder changing teams this month, along with Pelle' not playing much lately had me worried for Italy this summer.

Inter need a result vs Chievo today to avoid looking like [or admitting that] they're in a crisis.
Also today:
Lazio-Napoli
Juve-Genoa

Juve win but Caceres left the field in tears with injury and Evra got subbed out in the first half with an injury that seems less severe. Zaza got a red card in the 89th minute because he is a maniac.

Napoli win 2-0 goals from Higuain and Cajellon, assisted by Cajellon and Insigne.

Meanwhile, Milan are now unbeaten in their last 8 games (6 win/2 draw)

It's not even fun making jokes about this Inter team anymore. :lol:
They probably finish the season below Milan.

It was obvious from all the 1-0s that they would crash later. They don't have very good players.
