Can we change the name of this thread as many of us will want to talk about foreign leagues as well?

I keep forgetting Madrid have signed Isco as well.

Good to see he has found a new career for himself after that Thong Song. Can't be good being a 1 hit wonder.

We have the football, voetball, futbol thread.

Sorry, wrong quote. I did mean to quote Salgados post.

[Guest Norbert]

I know, but that post isn't in that thread.

Sounds a bit American style

Hope it doesn't give Venky's any ideas in our ongoing domination of the Asian market . At least Hull Tigers as a certain ring to it and fits into the club nickname, colours etc, certainly sounds better than some of the teams that play in the A league over here.

I know Australia has Newcastle Jets, that one stuck in my mind.

We get a number of those games broadcast. To me, it seemed the A-League used a lot of pastel colours in their kits but I have no idea if that is really so.

Now, I watched years ago and still check it out when I can Australian Rules Football. I really think that is among the world's great games or sports and nothing will change my mind on that.

They'll be calling us Blackburn Roosters and that protest chicken will be the mascot!

[thenodrog]

More like Blackburn Cocks.

A few United fans I know are nervous about Moyes and it seems a lot of their fans are twitchy about it

Could be interesting

[K-Hod]

I can't help but think with Moyes that he hasn't really set the world on fire since he went there. The proof of the pudding will be on Sunday I suppose, but even then it's only the community shield.

I would say that they haven't really bought anyone, but only City have had their hand in their pockets, it seems to have been a slow market this year.

Maybe they'll go back to this beauty of a kit!!

or this one:

Blackburn Bovines....

[Guest Norbert]

?

[Majiball]

Thought it was apt given our owners heritage. We could play in a blue and white cow pattern shirt, keep it to 50% of each colour and we'll still have the halves in essence.

[Guest Norbert]

Right, I understand. Perhaps playing in Demob suits and trilbys, as the Blackburn Spivs would have been more appropriate.

[Majiball]

I'm not sure we'd be able to market that to our masses of indian fans to the same degree as the Bovines.

it is more apt however.

[Audax]

If Moyes doesn't fit the bill,I'm sure some high profile manager would come in.

On that subject, I see the Bundesliga opened yesterday, Pep Guardiola getting his first win with Bayern Munich, 3-1 over Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Maybe we should wear blue and white halved turbans. Then we'd be able to win a few headers.

[The Rover of Finland]

Arsenal and City played in Helsinki today. Navas is a real cheap player. He was down all the time and really frustrated as the Finnish ref didn't give him single free kicks. Will be hated player in England!

[Salgado Is A Hero]

Liverpool lost to Celtic's reserves today. Although Coutinho will be a great player one day.

Spurs drew 1-1 with Espanyol just then. Soldado with the goal, he'll be class for them this year.

[Ianrally]

I will be interested to see the new GDS system in operation for the first time in England, at the Community Shield final today.

I cannot find any info anywhere as to what happens when there is a contentious decision, and there is a referral to the new technology,

which thenshows that the ball doesn't cross the line. How will the game be restarted? It isn't a foul so surely the defending team shouldn't get a free kick.

A bounce up on the goal line would be interesting.

[Stuart]

I suspect a goal kick would be awarded.

Much like if a player threw the ball directly into the net or if an indirect free kick went straight in.

[Audax]

League 2 related but this is interesting, link though from article did not work, be nice if they said what year this game was.
