Football/Soccer Season 2013/2014 Thread

I heard about that one on ESPN. I don't know much about this, but isn't Arsenal a good team?

Arsenal have been top of the league for most of the season. They are also the only Premier League team to go all 38 games unbeaten.

But then again, Man City smashed Man United 6-1 a couple of years ago, and United are the biggest team in that league. Plus Liverpool's top two of Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge have been on top form. It's a bit like the Washington Capitals, whose only top player is Ovechkin, absolutely destroying a team of some of the top name NHL players.

Arsenal missed out on buying Draxler, and it's showing.

Um..... I don't watch hockey. Sorry. But I think I got enough of that post to understand that.

[Milsap]

Hockey's the only sport outside of Football and F1 I have any vague knowledge about, that's why I went for it

Fulham equalising against United in injury time. Hilarious.

[Awkward Squirtle]

I'm in a rather good mood after this weekend's results. Yeah, Blaze, Arsenal are the top team in the league, so even though Liverpool are doing well, we shouldn't have won it 5-1, I'm still having trouble understanding how that happened. Knowing us, we'll lose to Fulham on Wednesday, but for now I'm going to enjoy this.

Man United fans aren't in a good mood though >.<

[Awkward Squirtle]

No they are not. This has contributed to my good mood.

I see that fan rivalries in soccer/football are similar to those of the fan rivalries of the NFL.

Clearly.

Next round of fixtures start tomorrow.

But more importantly, champions league comes back next week. Personally can't wait to watch Man City v Barcelona.

[the bread dragon]

man citys my team, hope they smack messi

[Awkward Squirtle]

City v Barca could be really interesting actually, looking forward to that.

[SirBlaziken]

Don't watch soccer, but I'm rooting for Barci.

[Kerou 犠牲]

I miss Cabaye :/

Most football teams have rivalries with more than one side too.

Manchester United- The bitters Liverpool, Leeds
Liverpool- Everton, Man United
Chelsea- Arsenal, Tottenham
Aston Villa- West Bromwich Albion, Birmingham City
Wolverhampton Wanderers- Walsall, West Brom, Villa
Sheffield Wednesday- Leeds, Sheffield United, Bradford, Rotherham
Lincoln City- Sc**thorpe, Grimsby Town
Portsmouth- Southampton, Brighton and Hove Albion

And so on.

I'd love to educate you on some NFL rivalries (some are outside of their divisions), but this is not the place for that.
