re: The Official Football Thread

LOL

it doesn't matter what age a keeper is. (regardless, dida is 35 and kalac is 36)

gourcuff, milan's best attacking midfielder? he's good... but have you heard of a guy called kaka?
Goalkeepers peak from 27-32, then they head downhill fast because there reflexes go to shit.

You can see lots of examples of this too, look at Buffon, he's 31, but hes slowly losing some of his ability, While Casillas is 27-8 and is starting to peak.

re: The Official Football Thread

He doesn't create 30 million dollars of assists either.

This is so true, 30 mil was obviously too much! Fergie knew he made an error.

I reckon payin Joorachiabian 26 mil for Tevez would of been the better option over keeping Berbatov in a man u jersey.:music:

re: The Official Football Thread

excuse me, but do u watch the news, transfers or anything??

I believe Kaka is a galacticos man at the moment, and i doubt he will come bak to AC Milan anytime soon.

Plus, yes, it does, u lose awareness and energy as u come of age when talking about goalkeepers, i've been to Football NSW and Australian Goalkeeping coaches, and i've talked to them about age, they said: "After the age of 32, a goalkeeper might become a legend at a top club, or become an absolute flop for a top club". :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

hahahahaha what does that even mean?

and goalkeepers get better with experience, age matters none until they're a few years out from 40.

you said they sold off their best attacking midfielder, gourcuff. they sold him before they sold kaka.

also, have a look at the two best keepers in the premier league: edwin van der sar (38) and mark schwarzer (36). both had the seasons of their lives.

re: The Official Football Thread

I don't think anybody is arguing once your 35+ you're unfit to be a keeper.

Just that generally your reflexes start to fade quickly.

I know van der sar has been good lately but keep in mind, he knows he probably only has 2 years max left at the top level.

I agree with ur 'epl' goalie thing, but Van Der Sar knows that he is a legend, and know he will have to be extra fit to fight off competition from possibly England's No. 1 :haha: in Ben Foster.

Schwarzer is a beast, no wonder why Fulham made it into the Europa league!! :eek:

re: The Official Football Thread

I thought goalkeepers peaked from 32-37.
LOL, not all goalies peak that late. thats just a fact.

there are exclusions to this, as to what Groucho mentioned: Van Der Sar, Schwarzer, Cudinci (For chelsea)..his tottenham career is going to be short, Almunia's done well, Lehmann at the age of 38 was huge at Arsenal. :haha:

Re: The Official A-League Thread.

lolz can't spell womb...

In another statement I actually must say I'm surprised that the Jets have made it into the knockout stage of the ACL, as much as I love them I can't see them getting as far as Adelaide did, but please Gary van Egmond, prove me wrong.
Spelling on BOS is serious business.

Also, Gary Van Egmond is no longer the coach of Newcastle, Branko Culina is smartass.
