dude i agree with u but the prob is that what we get after watching indian club football is boredom cos most of the football is played in the burning daylight so we dont get to see pacy football for which we love the beautiful game nd this is because of aiff officials as even bob houghton pointed it to change the timings of the matches to evening nd secondly the thing is that we all love beauty nd excitement which we get from epl nd champions league..we shud admire the beauty nd not be a hypocrite..moreover our football standard is low owing to many factors not just the popularity of cricket which has developed only cos very less countries play nd india emerges victorious in cricket nd the craze developed..mind it if india had played in the 1950 world cup football nd not won 1983 cricket wc the story wud hve been difft..some ppl blame only cricket for it but there r many factors population nd others too..but till the time indian football becomes attractive its viewership will not increase..eeven if india lose on the big stage football shud be attractive so that we can talk abt it..

well I agree with most of the points you have just mentioned..but all i can tell u is that if us Indians can watch all EPL games on TV then all we need to do is to get out there in the stadiums and show our presence to our players..thats the biggest thing that will popularise the game and attract media,sponsors etc..me and my frnds do precisely this..if the players can play in the sweltering heat then why cant we just watch them play??..It may feel good if your United or Chelsea wins but if our national team does well and u watch them in the stands, the feeling is price less :)
Plus dont worry football in India is in for a change and next season onwards we will try and emulate premier league style of functioning thanks to the huge deal between Reliance and IMG Academy USA
rohan_b SaysThere is Man City vs Tots as well next week...
i would just say, whoever wins manu vs chelsea will be top of the table with 2 games remaining and it would be mighty tough to change it.
Pple must be wondering n questioning where i was hiding when Man Utd lost the match away to Arsenal.. Here's my take on the match
Vidic handball- Clear Penalty(Refree maybe wasnt in the right position but it was more of Linesman's fault nt to see it) and maybe even Sent off- Wrong decision
Owen fouled- Penalty.. even Clichy knew it and and has his hands in the air.. Red Card too(refree maybe dint gave it to balance the sides)- wrong decision
Song should have been sent off twice in the match if there was a good Refree on pitch.
Getting Two potential penalties and scoring them is a diff scenario so as a Utd fan i m right to bemoan it.
Two wrongs doesnt make a right..
On the whole Utd played badly.. they seem to be getting tired esp Nani and rem its Hernandez's 1st season in EPL..
Overall poor Refree and it costed us too some extent
Chelsea Vs Tottenham
Linesman was never sure of the ball crossing goal line but still gave it.. A bad decision is something diff but giving a wrong decision as per rules is ridiculous.. u cnt give a goal being scored that u r nt sure abt.. worst Linesman i may have ever seen..
We all knew Kalou was offside.. so what else to say..
Its still Utds PL title to lose.. We just need a draw against Chelsea.. SAF has admitted to rest Giggs , Hernandez , Rooney except the back 4 against Schalke
The only player i want to leave Utd is Evra.. he came up saying he was on the verge of leaving last year and he has totally underperformed this year.. most of the time i see him cmpletely out of position..
Real Madrid pay 15 M and i will get to drop him to ur Santiago Bernabeau...
Possible replacement Izzaguire or Contreao... Plz dnt say Baines , I knw he can take free kicks which r sometimes marvellous but hes quite average in my opinion when it comes to defending.. Jose Enrique is still better in my opinion.
there have been serious reports of Alexis Sanchez representatives meeting City and United in England.. they even met with Chelsea in January.. So there might be a bidding war for him in the summer untill unless he is hell bent on joining United only like Rene Adler... He is a childhood Utd fan and has always dreamt of playing at Utd..
De Gea deal seems to have fallen off as right concern by his fam and him abt able to handle United pressure at the age of 20.. Same issue as we had when Torres was at AM..
Neuer seems to be off nw to Bayern.. I believe its Rene Adler who has more likely chance of coming to Utd nw..
VDS has accepted Utd have made a decision for next No. 1 GK and its nt Neuer..
Thought of sharing it wid fellow footballing maniacs..!!
P.S. An Arsenal fan said to me yesterday that for Arsenal and United players like Sanchez etc are potential world class talented players need to be groomed and developed further to improve and for pple like City and Chelsea they are just assets.. thats the difference..!!
today is the return led of 'el clasico' ....mourinho by saying that it is impossible to turn two deficit against barca in their home ground has declared that he has nothing to lose in this match.........(may be another mind game by the special one)...........so puys if you were at the place of mourinho today.........standing in the dugout of real madrid.............what players and formation you would have chosen.

Khedira and Gago are both injured. And most probably Adebayor will start in place of Benzema.
The last of the four match el clasico series, it is advantage Barcelona, but when the mission is so very clear as it is today for Real Madrid, their striking prowess and especially Ronaldo have the license to go all out
I think Abidal is a massive boost.......anyways I think Madrid will get beat 3-0today.....
Can't see their defence without Ramos and Pepe holding out Villa,Messi,Pedro,Iniesta.....

Though I wanted madrid to win this tie because of two reasons
1. My hatred for barca is too high for their anti-sporting behavior both on and off the pitch (Diving and whole fabregas saga) and
2. secondly, I wanna see ronaldo playing against ManU, I wanted to see him diving to win a free kick just outside penalty box and then score from that free kick 😛
but i am sure they dont stand a chance, they are going to be thrashed badly.
I am expecting final score to be 5,6-0.

Why do u all Gunners hate Barca for Fabregas Transfer saga..?? He himself says everytime to his Spainish teammates he wants to return to Barcelona.. He never denies that.. He even wore Barca Jersey after winning the world cup..
Look at Pique's case we allowed him to move back and hw highly he regards SAF as a father figure during his time at United.
I dnt knw if i m right they cudnt offer him a contract at Barcelona bcz of some rule in Spain at that time for youth players.. so it wasnt the case they dint wanted to keep him..
I feel Thiago Alcantara and Fabregas are seen as future replacements to Xavi and Iniesta..
aaj tak samajh nahi aaya what did Barca do wrong in this.. He came from there youth Academy and definitely has a Barca DNA in his football..
Chelsea fans I have a pleasing inside info for u guyzz..
Ur Serious summer transfer targets
Ins
Van der Wiel( heavy interest)
Aguero or Neymar or maybe both can also come
Sanchez
Ganso or Pastore..(though both are unlikely)
As Ganso has said he wants a move to Italy and for Pastore Real and Barca are likely compete wid u..
Outs
Kalou
Anelka
Bosingwa etc
I knw a editor of a UK site who has an insider at Stamford bridge..So they are confirmed targets for summer for Chelsea
Plus Yes its true Nuri Sahin is heading to Real Madrid for abt 8 M and yes i m more than gutted as JM is a huge admirer of him..Its more of a confirmed news than a rumour

not all Gooners!...personally i'll love to see Fabregas leaving Arsenal in coming season...it's been proved this season that we can win important games w/o Fabregas...his performance was not upto the mark this season and in many other important matches either he didn't performed well or simply got injured...selling him and buying another player who can actually stand again after getting tackled will be good option. but his performance this season doesn't undermine his ability and i'm sure he will be back in business in next season.
but i think Wenger have something else in his mind...just tell me who would like to drop Xavi and Iniesta and play Fabregas instead...it's as simple as that..Wenger knows it and even Fabregas knows it that he wont be getting any preferences...Look at the Spanish World Cup squad and tell how many times Fabregas was in the starting lineup...
Barca wants Fabregas as a replacement where as at Arsenal he is the main man...he may have come from Barca youth acaemy but he was nurtured in Arsenal...the best thing for him would be to stay at the Emirates for atleast 2-3 more years and then move to Nou Camp...

I think there's a place for Cesc in Barcelona team and it is without dropping Iniesta/Xavi.....
--------------------Valdes-------------------
-Alves-----Puyol-------------Pique---Abidal--
-------Xavi--------Busquets----Fabregas---
------Villa--------Messi--------Iniesta------
Its a stronger team than the current one

don't expect much from Fabregas if u don't position him in the center...and i guess that's not the position for messi either...

If you look at the video of the incident involving the the barca jersey. Fabregas was beetroot red when that happened and as soon as reina and the guys left him he took it off in 1 second.
The fact is barcelona has always poached players from Arsenal just like Real always poach players from Manu. Fabregas had just said that one day he wants to play for Barcelona and the Barca players and board made it out to seem as if he was being tortured every week in arsenal. fabregas wanted a transfer and backed down when wenger told him that it wasnt possible. Very professional of him.
And top of that Barca did not even meet the valuation of the club. Paying a pittance for one of the best central mid fielders in the world and expecting his club to leave him is the reason every gooner hates barca. Not the fact that they want fabregas..the fact that they insulted arsenal and its players and its fas in the process of wooing cesc
People have turned against him recently but i do feel he has been rushed back after injury and that his hamstring hasnt been a 100%. I ould hate to see him leave arsenal coz he is our second main man. RVP though made of glass is a much better player than him
