diskoviolente 425 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Good luck to the bloke. He was a top defender (and I f*****g hate Spurs).Absoloutly. On his day he was one of the best the PL has seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 29, on the last year of his contract, and wants to leave. I think he will, hopefully, end up at Juve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogun 721 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 We play Motherwell Today, then we're off to Indonesia in play in the Java Cup against Malaysia XI and then Galatasaray/Indonesia, not the best opposition but the stadium is huge (88,086 capacity). Then we come back to play Blackpool away which will be a decent game. Then Tony Hibbert's testimonial against AEK Athens at Goodison (Hibbo scores, we riot!) and then we finish off away to Malaga which will be a good test. And after that we beat Man utd 5-0 on the first game of the season. capriccioso and Sheva. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccioso 2,545 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Stupid article written by a blinkered fan jealous of Roman's largess towards Chelsea FC. He forgets his own club's history. It is the followingIn January 1902, with debts of £2,670 – equivalent to £210,000 as of 2012[nb 1] – the club was served with awinding-up order.[14] Captain Harry Stafford found four local businessmen, including John Henry Davies (who became club president), each willing to invest £500 in return for a direct interest in running the club and who subsequently changed the name;[15] on 24 April 1902, Manchester United was officially born.[16][nb 2] UnderErnest Mangnall, who assumed managerial duties in 1903, the team finished as Second Division runners-up in 1906 and secured promotion to the First Division, which they won in 1908 – the club's first league title. The following season began with victory in the first ever Charity Shield[17] and ended with the club's first FA Cup title. Manchester United won the First Division for the second time in 1911, but at the end of the following season, Mangnall left the club to join Manchester City.[18]Amazing how the club's fortunes changed in 6 years. From disappearing into oblivion to becoming first division winners.The same applies for every single top club in the world. Huge injections of cash at some point(s) in their history made them become what they are today. 50 years from now Chelsea won't be seen as some sugar daddy club, as those clubs aren't seen like that now.The following clubs have broken the world transfer record:Arsenal (1928)Napoli (1952, 1975, 1984)Milan (1954, 1987, 1992 and 1992 again)Juventus (1957, 1968, 1976, 1990, 1992)Inter (1961, 1967, 1997, 1999)Barcelona (1973, 1982)Real Madrid (2000, 2001, 2009)British transfer record:Arsenal (1928, 1938, 1971, 1995)Man United (1962, 1981, 1995, 2001, 2002)Tottenham (1970)Liverpool (1995, 2011)Man City (2008)Chelsea (2006, 2011)We never have bought success to the same extent that the above clubs did. We've only broken the 30 million barrier twice, Real Madrid have done it an astonishing 11 times. Strike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccioso 2,545 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 And sad about King. Spurs or not he is in my eyes a PL legend. Apparently he went through his career with just 8 (eight!) yellow cards and not a single red card. Outstanding for a defender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jype 6,398 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Apparently Tim Cahill has left Everton for New York Red Bulls. Big loss for Everton, a great player and a true club legend. Can't blame him though. Last couple of years of his career and in a lower league he can now relax a bit and focus on making money. And let's be honest, who in their right mind wouldn't prefer living in New York to Liverpool?

This was the right time for him to leave.However this is the most gutted I've been from an player leaving everton, he's a modern day everton legend and I'll love him for all the memories he's given me.

Shogun 721 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 The New York Red Bulls released the following statement today regarding midfielder Tim Cahill: "We are aware of Everton’s statement regarding midfielder Tim Cahill and our club. However, we have no comment at this time regarding him or any other non-New York player." I'm entirely sure who I want to be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Australian who worked his way up English football. joined everton from milwall if i remember correctly and i think over the years he built up a reputation by scoring decisive goals. his heading is unbelievable for his size. faded away these last 2 seasons but still it doesn't take away what he achievedi eternally hate him for this though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Cahill is a legend. As a Chelsea fan that goal stings a bit, as an Aussie I'm incredibly proud of it . Well done Timmy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
