English Premier League vs Australian Football League

[Sman-21]

soccer = gay
with names like ARSEnal, Man United and lots more
far too many gay team names no wonder the sport isnt a real mans game.


But seriously the games are just far too dull an boring in some games your lucky to see 5 shots on goal WTF 90minutes of game time an only 5 attempts at goal
Maybe if they didnt waste so much time pissfarting around with the ball in the middle of the pitch an actually backed in their skills an took on the defense more often it could become more exciting.

The simpsons take on soccer where they all went to watch some soccer game an they were bored as hell watching them pissfart around kicking the ball backwards an forwards all the time sums soccer up the best for me.

Well what happened with Leeds when they had a bit of a run? Were they wealthy? Or were they a prime example of a young talented team being pulled apart by the big four?

A little from column A & a little from column B, really.

They had a good young crop of players coming thru (Kewell, Alan Smith, Paul Robinson, Woodgate) and brought in some expensive sigings off varying quality (Rio Ferdinand for £18m: good; Danny Mills for £4 million: meh; Seth Johnson for £7million: bad) but it was all based on credit rather than an Abramovich-style benefactor. They borrowed £60 million against future season ticket sales, which meant that just to pay the interest they had to qualify for the Champions League every year.

So when they didn't it all went tits up in a quite spectacular fashion & they had to literally give players away just to get their salaries of the wage bill. To give you some idea of how screwed they were they bought Robbie Fowler for £11 million in 2001 & then had to sell him to Man City for £3 million in 2003, with another £3 million depending on appearances & continue to pay £10,000 a week to him in wages despite him playing for another club.

The AFL is definitely head and shoulders ahead of any major soccer league in terms of competitiveness. The AFL's 'big 4' in terms of money this year finished 6th, 9th, 11th and 12th, while the 2 poorest clubs finished 3rd and 7th.

Thinking about it, why are we comparing the two? They are both very different and appeal to different people.

Australians find A"F"L exciting, and that in turn puts them off football. The opposite is true with most others, we find football exciting, and that puts us off A"F"L.

You don't need goals to have an exciting football match, by the way, as some people think.

Football is and always will be bigger than AFL. Deal with it.

You clearly know nothing. You just listen to the sterotypical version of soccer. There are always at least 10 shots on goal in a game.

Saint Kilda, HAWthorn, Fremantle, Sydney SWANS, Geelong(sounds like some wool), Collingwood(is that some sort of wood?). Now tell me "soccer" has gayer names.

Your from Tasmania, your opinion is invalid...

Women (you used HAW as an example) can't be labelled as "gay", the proper term is lesbian.

Haven't you been through Sex Education yet? You're only like 12 aren't ya?

 

[Sman-21]

nuthin gay about being a "haw"
saint kilda sounds like a saint killed some chick nothin gay about that.
Fremantle hmm free man guess if u go singin that in the streets ppl will think ya gay so i might give ya that 1.
Sydney Syd Kneed some one not gay but dirty tactic swans arent gay just good lookin birds.
Geelong hmm gee thats long hmm never heard a guy bein called gay just coz hes got a long1.
Collingwood hmm colins got wood passable as gay .

But none of the, are as blatantly gay as the soccer team names talkin about arses arsenal, man united = men united. man city city of men etc etc.

Bull fighting is not for real men u seen the crap they wear.
Plus they stab the bull a bunch of times before letting it into the arena so that its half dead then they start teasing it with a red tea towel before eventually finally putting the poor creature out of its misery.
When they take on the bull without half killing it beforehand then i will give bull fighters some credit until then there just a bunch of pansys pretending there tough by fighting a bull thats half dead and teasing the crap out of it.


I love my sport an unfortunately i normally find myself watching every single time Australia plays SOCCER an sometimes a perth glory game.
It bores the crap out of me 9 times out of 10 but hey its my country an my state i cant help but watch an hope they win.
