    Who the hell likes Streisand and why?

    I don't like Liza Minnelli, it annoys me that the original 'New York, New York' is her shitty version. As for Barbra Streisand, I have no strong feelings one way or the other.

    Trading Football Stocks

    Check out The Swiss Ramble and Luckmar.blogspot for financial info on European teams, the latter is in Italian but Google translate does a good enough job.

    Euro 2016

    All of Iceland's team are fully professional. England are terrible but Iceland have shown themselves to be pretty good, they beat The Netherlands twice and finished above them and Turkey in qualifying, and they're still unbeaten after playing England, Portugal and Austria in this tournament.

    What does a Brexit mean for NYCFC?

    Potential Man City loanees to NYCFC just got a bit cheaper. If City were paying one of their youth players £200,000, NYCFC would now have to pay him a salary of $275,000 to match his City salary, a year or two ago that would have been $315,000.

    Barclays Premier League 15/16

    Apparently the device was accidentally left in the toilets from a terrorist training exercise which took place a few days ago. Kind of embarrassing if true.

    Porto won it in 2004 and Liverpool and Chelsea also won it despite not finishing in the top four in the PL. Real Madrid narrowly got past Wolfsburg this season and they're currently 10th in the Bundesliga.

    American billionaire’s plan to revolutionise football

    There's no way Celtic and Rangers would be in there and Spurs wouldn't, also having two from France and two from Holland/Portugal seems unfair when France is so much larger. You'd earn a lot more money from having 3/4 teams from France. I'd like to see these teams. England: Spurs, Man United...

    American billionaire’s plan to revolutionise football

    La Liga have already agreed to share the TV money more equally, Real and Barca will receive roughly the same as they did under the old deal and the rest of the league will get more from the new €1.5bn a year domestic and international rights to La Liga. Atletico and Valencia will earn about...

    Barclays Premier League 15/16

    That wasn't his point, he was asking from the TV networks perspective is it bad for them that big teams like Newcastle, Villa and Sunderland could get relegated, and it is. It will make no difference to TV rights outside the UK because 95% of overseas fans support teams who aren't going to get...

    Roma's Gervinho And Chelsea's Ramires Off To China

    $800 billion as 1% of GDP would mean a total GDP of $80 trillion, there's zero chance of that happening.

    NYCFC Players Wanted Thread

    Chamberlain is 23, if Arsenal don't want him he'll have a bunch of Premier League sides lining up for his signature. The other two players you mentioned are more realistic. MLS should be targeting relatively big name players who are 28-32 who aren't playing regularly and whose contract is...

    Who Is The Best Mf ?

    I'd say Maradona was more of a forward than midfielder. The list is a little England-centric with 5/8 players being from there, Keane, Viera, Iniesta and Figo should have been included as they were all better than Beckham. I've voted for Zidane with Xavi a close second.
