Pirès thinks Philly is a shitty town

Robert Pirès thinks Philly is a shitty place to live. That is AWESOME! He wont play on Philly cause it's not nice. He would rather live in a nice place like Henry in New York. WOW. So I wonder how Toronto holds up? I wonder what cities meet his standards other than New York? maybe San Jose, Seattle, and L.A.

Anyways I read the following at the MLS website.

NEW YORK – Former French World Cup winner Robert Pirès, who was being pursued by the Philadelphia Union as a Designated Player, has come out publicly and stated that he will not be joining the MLS expansion club because the city’s not nice enough.
“[Philadelphia] is not very appealing to me,” the Frenchman told L’Equipe. “I don’t want to be difficult, but if I’m leaving to take my family far away, I prefer that it’s in a beautiful city.”
Making the matter worse for Philly fans is what Pirès had to say about the arrival of Thierry Henry in New York with the Red Bulls.
“I hope for him that he can go out there,” Pirès said of his former Arsenal teammate. “Now that’s a beautiful city.”
The 36-year-old told the French sports daily that he now waiting for other proposals and, if he does not receive any, he’s content to hang his boots. His preference, however, would be to take on one more challenge, possibly with a club in France.
Spanish club Villarreal decided not to renew his contract after the 2009-2010 European season although Pirès says that he would have wanted to stay.

HOLY SHIT!!

I can't believe it! This guy has impacted a team I support AGAIN!! (Arsenal this time) And he is going to be in the world cup! I really hope he ref's all of England and Frances games. LOL. I know its impossible but it is nice to dream.

Last night in Portugal he really gave Porto the advantage when he let them take a quick indirect kick. He was out of position and obstructed Sol Campbell from defending the kick. I guess it was only a matter of time before Arsenal got burned by one of these. Henry was pretty good at them. I just hate the fact that it had to be Martin Hansson the Sweddish Douche that was involved. The truth of the whole matter is. Arsenal needs a new keeper BADLY!

Last Nights Game Highlights.

FC Porto v Arsenal

THEY LOST....

Against the worst team in the MLS. New York Shit Bulls pummeled TFC 5-0. The Fan590 Blog summed it up pretty good calling it the "Manhattan Meltdown" I like it, very fitting. The Globe and Mail calling it "Canada's Soccer Shame" also very fitting.

I truly thought I would see the team give there best effort. Instead I watched a team of individuals showcase there talent. I think some of them are unsure of the future they hold with the team and do not understand they need to play as a team to stay on it!... What a mess. Hopefully next season will not be as glum.

I wish Chris Cummins the best for the future. Looks like he will be out of Toronto when the dust settles. He is claiming that TFC reneged on some of the promises they made when he first took over for quitter Carver. "There were things promised me" when they first came over that were never fulfilled.

Anyways I will try me hardest to keep up to date with the MLS playoffs as clearly TFC is not in them. Below is a chart with the playoff teams. I will try to make a Bracket with dates and stuff if I have time ( I doubt it).




I guess from here on out it is all Celtic, Arsenal, and Republic Of Ireland news! The Occasional TFC off season update and MLS cup action minus..

cheers

O'Brian White, Sanyang, and Gomez Impress...

Toronto once again looks like a team that can not be beaten. Unbelievable performance's put in by the rookie on Saturday as TFC sported a line-up that included SIX rookies! TFC also moved up 2 spots in the MLS power rankings... Awesome. I spent the weekend at the cottage and had to spend most of yesterday catching up on my soccer news so instead of going on a long spiel about how I hope TFC can keep it up you can check out these articles I have found online.
