Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Midweek games for the select few lower division fans amongst us:

Nottm Forest v Blackpool
Cambridge v Burton
Rochdale v Oxford
Bournemouth v Lee Trundle

Any more lower division fans?

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Oh that will be a Tricky tie for oxford we will be lucky to get a draw.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Oh dear United are trying there best to lose fans this season. :td:

Queiroz hits out at 'stupid' fans !

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

i was at the game on Sat and Queiroz says they played 442 which was a load of rubbish the team played rubbish and should have been all out attack against Blackburn and then killed the game off in the first half like we used to do.. don't like saying it but i think Fergie has stayed a season or to too long at OT

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

The Problem is he won't go the man just can't give up the job. :td:

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

some of his actions of late are very strange and just childish.. i won't tallk to MUTV as they critised me.. not talking to the BBC.. after 2 years because they did a program about his son.. he only does press confs with the champions league as it's in the contract the clubs sign that they have to do it

what is even more worrying is that after the WC Sven is likely to be out of a job and Man U will be needing a new manager.. given a choice between Sven and Fergie i'd rather have Fergie.. if we get Sven we will be even worse but i can see this happening in the summer

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Yup i think he's going to have to have a long hard talk with the backroom People
at Utd over the summer. i'd never thought i would say this but the club is better
Off with out him now thay can't win the title while Fergie is still here.

I thought the thing with the bbc was a life time ban. :erm:

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

To be honest i don't think Fergie is to blame, i think ever since he took on Queiroz as his number two the club has gone downhill. He has put it in to Fergies head that 4-5-1 or 4-2-3-1 is a good idea, but it never works. This season we haven't been scoring goals, except for tap ins and people are starting to realise that in the last few games.

He tried it at Madrid and it failed and he is attempting it again at United and it isn't working.

If anyone needs to go its Queiroz.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

whilst i agree with the some of the above the Fergie of old never would have had the tactics dictated but his No 2 anyway

yes Queiroz does has too much influence but it's Fergie who's giving that to him.. maybe they both should go as long as we don't get Sven to replace him :-(

just hope we can put in a good performance tonight.. watched the last game whilst i was out in Madrid and the performance was terrible

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Yep, I am taking the plunge tonight with another visit to the Abbey Stadium.
My workmate rang me this morning to see if I wanted to go, and because he is a Nottingham Forest fan, I think he just wants Nigel Clough's autograph :D
Prediction U's 3 Burton Albion 1 :cool:

We're 4 unbeaten. But 3 at home and 2 draws.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Will that send you up the div one table. :)

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Hmm we heading for relegation dogfight, last 2 home games 1 draw 1 defeat the draw against brighton :( and not won away since last oct.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

CUFC were complete dross, peach of a goal though from Courtney Pitt, give it a couple of days and you can see the goal here, Westcarr didn't play too badly either.

Apart from those two, the team lacked basic skills, also it is the third time I have been up there this season and it is the third time that the away team has been the better side. :mad:

Oh and btw, we had a female referee, her name is Amy Raynor, I googled the name but didn't find anything, she did ok though :cool:

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Am sure things will get better it's only the first few weeks of the season. :)

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Pitt- didn't he play for Portsmouth?

Were Burton any good- I keep a glance on them every so often for Clough Jnr.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Burton did try to play football, but lacked the killer instinct, both midfields looked a bit inept, but their winger Chris Hall looks a promising player.

As for Pitt, yep he came from Portsmouth.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Grimsby 4 Notts County 0

- bring on Newcastle ;)

- yeah right :D

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

We were total rubbish tonight, again.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

I think you might stumble there, but I might be wrong, after all it is a cup game, promotion is looking likely though, even this early in the season ;)

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

someone in black & white stripes will hit a winner :cool:

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Are you being a bit presumptuous there Gaz, you are at home and should play in your usual kit :)

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

possibly - good job i am not a betting man ;)

and I am not sure if a replay is an option???

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Good luck anyway :tu:

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

thankyou 'yesman' - appreciated :)

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Yup the Liverpool vs Chelsea game ended the way i Thought it would both sides
cancelling each other out by playing the safety game.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Question for nffc !!!! or anyone else for that matter....

My mate, the one who is a Forest fan, seems to think that there has been six transfers from Forest to MUFC since around 1980, I can only think of five, I wondered if you could help ?

The transfers I can think of are as follows;
Keane
Birtles
Davenport
Webb
Anderson

I am sure all the above are correct, but I cannot think of a sixth :shrug:

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Ian Storey-Moore maybe ?

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

more strange comments from Sven.. he said we played 4-5-1 again N. Ireland because some of the players weren't 100% fit.. assuming he is talking about the midfield here where we have enough quality that we can play players who are 100 fit..

i'm sure if we got the WC final and Becks, Lampard and Gerrard had broken legs they would still start on crutches

surely on 5m a year he can pick a team that is fit with a formation to suit not change the formation so you can play with unfit people!!

Also it's been noted that when Sven goes to a game he never makes any notes and barely even seems to take any notice of the match, before leaving 10 mins early to make sure he avoids the traffic

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Well yesterday Sven said he will go back to the 4-4-2 :tu: i think the N. Ireland
Game was Enough to shock england in to playing real football again.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

It's certainlythe case with Beckham. How many mediocre games he has to have before being dropped I don't know... actually that's not a question, as Sven will NEVER drop him.

Oh how I long for a coach with real balls... look at what Clive Woodward achieved by dropping guys like Lawrence Dallaglio.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

think we will have to wait till after the WC for that

surely the FA should look at these comments and say why were we playing with people who weren't 100% fit it's not like there are only 11 footballers in England!!

Sven will never drop anyone which is why he still has the backing of the team no matter how bad they play they won't get dropped... even when he gives a cap to someone who is rubbish if their face fits and they say the right things Sven will keep picking them Hargreaves and Phil Neville being two good examples

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Some say football's Boring and predictable that’s a lot of **** thay
have Obviously Not seen the football League.forget the Premiership
If you wanna see real football go follow a FL club.!

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Does that mean that Oxford (for example) would immediately go all boring and predicatble if they reached the Premiership?

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Don't think we Would last long in the Premiership now a days maybe 20 years a go we could have have a good few years. but now with all the money going to the Top 5 clubs we'd have no hope that's the sad state of football Today. :(

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Nah - all you need is a chairman who refuses to open his wallet :D

Villa are still fairly well-off money-wise, 'cos good old Doug never spendsa anything. Crap in the league like, but well-off :disturbd:

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

He's still going to be Chairman even after his death :Yikes: Doug's like a stingy
mate down the pub he will let everyone else my a round. but won’t do it when
It come to his turn. :)

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Sorry isn't the UEFA cup in a league format now? If so I'm wrong

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Actually, there must be some sort of 'first round' before the league stages, 'cos aren't Everton supposed to be guaranteed to go out of Europe tonight?

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Bolton have to draw to stay

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

I don't know, I don't take much notice of the UEFA cup ;) :D

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Yup there's a first round than after that a group format.

Bye than Bolton.

oxford would have been in the 87/88 UEFA cup if it wasn’t for bloody liverpool. :mad:

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Nor me :D

Although I have to be honest and admit that that's because my team's so rubbish they can't even manage to quality for that :disturbd:

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Bolton need a goal or there out on the away goal rule.


[Edit] own goal Bolton can win now :D

Keane hints at Man Utd departure

Looks like old Keaneo is on the move hand up Thou he is one of the best Irish players of his generation. :tu:

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

I have a feeling Keano is putting the feelers out to find out if his comment will get a reaction from Uniteds hierarchy, the way the team is playing atm I hope that they offer him another year.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Excellent and well done to the Whites. :D

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Well done the Boro. :tu:

Hay is it true thay play electric light orchhstra's mr blue Sky before every Birmingham home game. :erm:

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

He always said he wanted to play for Celtic.

Yeah but will save them a lot of money if Chelsea do win. In fact at this early stage they will probably save money even if they do pay out twice.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

But thay Haven’t won yet. :) some the other teams pick it up than we will see
What the premiership has to give. :)

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

surely if the bookies keep the money until the end of the season they will earn off the interest ?

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

But if you get Chelsea with say a 20 point lead at some stage of the season i.e have effectively won the league, but not officially then you will get loads of people putting money on a dead cert (which could cost them a lot). Hence by paying out early they avoid this.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

abit worried about Keano leaving.. if it's true and sounds like he won't be there next season I wonder how many games he will get now.. we have already changed our style of play to suit him getting older and with him not there next season makes more sense to bring someone else, Smith ?, into the role early

He will always be a legend and even though i hate saying it, he can't perform at his old level any more

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

If United offer him another 12 month contract sooner rather than later, he will take it, if they don't, he will make other arrangements playing for a club from another country (probably Celtic) although he never mentioned them last night.

Coaching was also mentioned, but Keane feels he is not ready for that yet, although he has earned two badges, playing at another club would probably help him in that area, he also mentioned that he has picked up some good pointers while playing under two of the best managers there has been, Clough and Ferguson.

His time is almost up, maybe it is already up, but I am not sure United can afford to let him go just yet, United seem to perform better when he is on the pitch.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

He mentioned in his autobiography that he wants to play for Celtic.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

I'm sure he will be made very welcome in Stalybridge.:D

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
