The Scottish league is tiny in comparison to most of the other large European countries, with 2 decent sized clubs filled with religious hate and sectarian bullshite. I'd love to see the tick and Huns go and get fucked each week in the English premier so some of the smaller teams up here would get a chance to win the league
haha i love hearing that speech when one of my bird's uncles gets drunk at a party. about how much money celtic would get if they would combine the premiership and the scottish premiership. also his joke where he blows a puff of smoke into his shoe and goes "what's that?" and you just stand there going "i dunno" and he goes "an english soldier up the north!" guys a bit of a nutter. old IRA type. used to be in with em. still has ties to em. its such an odd thing to see from the outside looking in. but eh i'm not out to judge or interject in their business i guess. but i digress.
fact is yeah scotland hasn't got the best league for the most part, about like the irish league or some of the other leagues in europe where most of its citizens follow the leagues of the nearest big league country. but whatever, i'm not worried about what league who likes better. this thread is about favorite players. so imma make up the team of 11 that i think should be out there kicking ass.
GK- shay given: cracking keeper, enough said there
RB- cicinho: this guy is solid, i do like the combination of him and mexes for roma. but i think he'd be able to work with samuel in the back given they're brazilian and have to in international football.
CB- walter samuel: this guy had been effectively under my radar for ages til just recently. and he really has shown himself to be a fantastic center back. he isn't afraid to pull someone down in the box and play it off like an accident he's got style.
CB- carles puyol: fuck, need i say more? guy is fantastic, i mean honestly. fantastic.
LB- ashley cole: if only for his good defending prowess but also his ability to sneak in and get a goal from time to time.
now to the midfield. i don't know about midfield so much. i think with a back like that i could play a more attacking midfield. i'm going a 4-3-3 and i think a good attacking midfield would be where its at with a strong line of defense.
LMF- franck ribery: sure he has sex with teenagers. but he is one of the best midfielders out there even if he is fuck ugly and odd. he's fucking fast when he needs to be, and can take a penalty or free kick with such precision. great guy to have in the midfield i'd say.
CMF- michael essien: i can't think of a player who works harder, or is more of a mood maker for a team than this guy. were he playing for ghana this summer they'd have wiped the floor with uruguay. he is one of those players who can just get a team to work and work together well.
RMF- cristiano ronaldo: as much as i hate the guy, and think he's a complete doucher. he is a good player. and i'll give him that. he's good at slotting the ball through to forwards, he's good at making crosses or if need be goals. my only problem would be getting him to get over himself long enough to play correctly.
now to the forwards. the guys who get the glory. the front men. the guys with big paychecks and bigger egos. well, sometimes.
LF- didier drogba: ah fuck it man when this guy is on his game he is one of the best strikers on the planet. no doubt about it. he is just so good at what he does he makes it look like its easy. fantastic player, and a stand up bloke. fuck the haters, drogba bitches.
CF- luis suarez: i'm not a huge follower of ajax. but this guy is one hell of a player. he's quite young and i think he's the bit of youth and exuberance the front line needs. plus he scored 49 goals in all competitions last year for amsterdam. he might just be that big fish in a small pond that comes along ever so often. but i think if given the challenge he'll step it up accordingly.
RF- arjen robben: used to play for chelsea, now he's with munich. and something about this guy just watching him work. he doesn't care about little niggling injuries or little pains here or there. he just goes for it. he takes his chances, gets in close, goes for the shot. and outplays defenders left and right. a fantastic forward if i do say so. and i do.
i think a lineup like this would do the job as far as youth, and quickness goes. but as well as age and experience. and sure there might be a few more chelsea players on the pitch than some would like. sue me i'm a bit biased. but i think its a solid team that would be a force to be reckoned with. now to become an oil billionaire, buy up some shit team somewhere, and spend my fortune on these players, for just a taste of the glory. i'll also buy mourinho to be the coach. haha
