As this forum is dead most of the time unless N'flamez are releasing new album or doing some weird sh*t (like shooting gangsta music videos and growing awesome beards)... Let's have a thread where we can talk random, IF non-related stuff.
Petrovic has so far looked very slow and it seems he's struggled to adapt to the pace of the league.
Simon's earned us a couple of penalties this year and scored a couple of goals too. He's got skills, but I think the reason we got him so cheap was because as you said, he's a fuckin nutcase
Kean is the Weakness
Well...supporting is maybe a strong word. I support only Partizan Belgrade.
But I did like Liverpool under Rafa in 2006/7, 2007/8, 2008/9...and then it all went to hell. I still kinda like them just because of the nice memories.
Then again, I like a lot of English clubs. Except Man Utd, Wolves, Everton, Stoke (I mean come on, they are practically a basketball team) and few others. Also, I like to see Man City fail, just because of amount of money they invested.
Speaking of WH... Our corrupt management (PFC) just sacked our manager (2 league titles, one cup, CL group stage and 10 point lead in this season) and hired Avram fuc*ing Grant!!!
Btw, Ipswich town has a supporters club in Serbia. Believe it or not.
Well, that IT supporters club is active for about 10 years or so. Younger guys. I guess they like semi-obscure english clubs. Also, some clubs, like Millwall have almost cult status here (just because of the Fools and Horses)
Serbian league is...shit.
We have two big clubs: Partizan and Red Star, and one wannabe big club - Vojvodina. The rest is substandard.
Red Star is in deep sh*t. We've been doing them for 5 straight years now, and if it weren't for state assistance (they are something like a national project) they would be bankrupt by now.
Partizan is much better now, mainly because we have a good youth academy (we've sold Jovetic and Ljajic to Fiorentina, Sulejmani to Groningen/Ajax, Savic to Manchester City etc). But, as I said, we have uncompetent criminals in the managment of the club. Hopefully, we'll get rid of them (and Avram Grant) in february.
The story behid our shitty league is following... The '80 Yugoslav league was a good one. Strong clubs, good finances, large country. Then, in the '90 everything went downhill. Partizan, Red Star and Vojvodina were only remaining, serious club, and other 13 spots were filled with small clubs from lower leagues. Every player that worth something is sold in bigger leagues by the time he's 20-21.
