Well, IMO Mutu is the better overall player.
Better provider, good long shot, fast, with good technique and scores often.
:agree: He is more versatile too .. he can play as a forward and as an attacking winger.

I was upset when he leaves Juve.
Is it bcos he dun wanna play in serie b or Juve wanna reduce their payroll ??

I'm watching Fox Football Phone-In on FSC, and the question of the day is whether or not you think the FA Cup is the "most Prestigious" cup competition in the world. Thus far nine people have said yes, while three people said no. The show is put on by two Englishmen, one of which is Nick Webster who is a fucking dolt and proclaims English Football is undoubtedly the best.

FA Cup more Prestigious than the WORLD CUP??? :howler:

And people wonder why I hate English Football and live for seeing England failing at the highest level. I mean, why on Earth even pose a question such as ridiculous as that? Fuckheads.
Now look what you've done! :(

Thank you, Andy, for making me spew all that good beer out of my nose...

I beg to differ - Liverpool-West Ham was one of the most entertaining finals, ever!

You could mention Man United 3-0 Millwall in 2004. But then again, last year Chelsea 1-0 Man United was the biggest borefest ever- for the neutral at least.
Yeah boy, we went krazy when we won that.

FA Cup is still more prestigious than Coppa Italia and Copa Del Rey. At least the teams care more about it.
now there are four big clubs in one league and they all need trophies every year. so sooner or later some team will play for the FA cup. they also have the carling cup for the same sake so that nobody is left out(4 teams- 4 competions), i.e. everybody has a shot at some trophy. in italy there are 2/3 teams and in spain 2 teams so they compete for the league and the CL.

Ha i watch fox football phone in every week as well and i have to say as entertaining as it is the guys that host are the most english biased fools on the planet. Nick is a fuckin moron i was so happy when england got beaten by Croatia even though he made constant excuses he couldn't hide his humiliation.

Vance from TENNESSEE: "FA Cup is the best cup competition in the world without a shadow of a doubt."

Nick Webster: "Rooney is at the same level as Kaka and Messi." :howler:
Thats just sad and pathetic. The list of forwards i'd pick over Rooney is even fatter than he is.

I dont really know what youre saying but I think you are saying that its always the same teams in the FA Cup. You could easily say that about the other leagues as well. Well go look at the stats and see if its true, Pool and West Ham played in one of the best Cup Finals ever. If we're are talking about Prestige and all the best English teams end up in the Cup Final then I don't think I have to tell you what that means. The discussion isn't about the strength of the leagues either, its about which national Cup is best and its definitely the FA Cup.

    Actually, it's about cup competitions in general.

    Sure, the FA Cup is probably the favorite national cup competition, but that's not saying much at all.

    Thats what makes the competition special. The way that smaller clubs can rise up and beat bigger ones is great. When these players were growing up, and wanted to be footballers, they all dreamed of walking out the tunnel into Wembley as an FA Cup finalist. These clubs also reduce the domination of the bigger ones and make the competition way more interesting because they haven't met in a while. Best FA Cup final in years this.

    The best cup competition in the world doesn't feature the likes of Cardiff City. It just doesn't. I don't really care what little English boys dream about, but the FA Cup is overrated, just like everything English.
