Well, at least someone is intelligent enough to make football points and explain them!

Coutinho is more prolific at dribbling and running past defenders because that is his style, a bit like Lucas Moura. Oscar, on the other hand, is more like a Pirlo or Modric (or even Lampard) type of player, they can all do fancy tricks, but it is just not part of their game. You will always see Coutinho making more headlines (if they were actually at the same level) than Oscar because that is just his thing.

Oscar did not have a very good season, like almost all our team, but this is his first ever season in a super different league. If the style of football in Brazilian to Italian Series A is already very apart, imagine Brazilian Serie A to EPL. He actually adapted very well, IMO. Remember he is the first real talented player to that direct transition in history...

I guess that Liverpool's current form and the love the media has for them make the minds of highly influenced kids (not that you are one, but you understand), but Oscar has been much better throughout all of his career and this shows in the NT. Have you never asked yourself why Coutinho doesnt even make the cut? That is because managers have seen a lot of him at Vasco and Inter and they werent impressed, it is not 2-3 good months that would change their minds!

Overall, Coutinho has been a good surprise to all of us (specially who have seen him failing at Italy), but he cant be put in the same sentence as Oscar. Our little number 10 is considered one of the very best promisses of football and this is no joke. I have no doubt he will have a great next season and Coutinho will start to have inconsistency (specially at big games). At the long run, Oscar will be by far the best player!

Nothing I can say, agreed!

What do you guys think is the best result in the Arsenal United game?

Personally i think a draw would be perfect because Arsenal obviously drop 2 points and United wont have the record to play for when we play them at Old Trafford.

of course a draw is the best result

a win for united no matter what... we ourselves will take care of united when it comes to not reaching 95 points.

Julio Cesar in August 2012

I have many dreams at QPR. To play well for the fans, the manager, the chairman and myself. And eventually finish in the top four and qualify for the Champions League and then one day win the Premier League. It is possible. A few years ago nobody believed Manchester City would ever win the Premier League. So we have to dream. When you dream, things can happen. That's the reason I came here.

:lol:

WE SHOULD SIGN JULIO CESAR AS BACK UP. Or Chris Samba. Or Diakiti. Or Taarabt (think about it... against the small teams he'd be a good back up option. Unless of course his ego poisoned the club.) Or Remy (!!!!!). Surely they'll all be leaving now.

Ferguson has obviously told his team to play at half-pace. He's smart. He knows Chelsea are a bigger threat to the title than both Arsenal and Spurs (combined). He doesn't care about a potential points record if he can keep United at the top for the near future. United will lose this.

Chelsea without UCL is a bigger threat in the league than with UCL football...

NOOO! Julio Cesar needs playing time because he is too good to be a back up and he is Brazil's only decent GK.
