Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

can see ruud going in summer its age fergie likes to off load players that are worth something.

leics threw away a win against derby still on relegation form.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Just agent leaking rumours to the press to negotiate better terms and a renewed contract, common practice breeds speculation.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

here's the england England squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Austria (8 October) and Poland (12 October):


Goalkeepers: Paul Robinson (Tottenham), Robert Green (Norwich), Chris Kirkland (Liverpool/West Brom)

Defenders: Ashley Cole (Arsenal), Phil Neville (Everton), Luke Young (Charlton), Jamie Carragher (Liverpool), Rio Ferdinand (Man Utd), John Terry (Chelsea), Sol Campbell (Arsenal), Ledley King (Tottenham)

Midfielders: David Beckham (Real Madrid), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Frank Lampard (Chelsea), Joe Cole (Chelsea), Shaun Wright-Phillips (Chelsea), Jermaine Jenas (Tottenham), Alan Smith (Man Utd), Kieran Richardson (Man Utd)

Strikers: Michael Owen (Newcastle), Wayne Rooney (Man Utd), Jermain Defoe (Tottenham), Darren Bent (Charlton), Peter Crouch (Liverpool).


Good to see Crouch and Campbell in the team. :)

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Of course, missing from the second story is that Henry already owns a house in London and, indeed, has recently married an English girl. Still, why let facts get in the way of a good story?

Campbell, yes (particularly with Rio Ferdinand's current bout of being rubbish) but Crouch *and* Alan Smith? Total goals between them this season, anyone? [cue sound of Austrian defenders not quaking in their boots]

Oh, and make Terry captain, for Darwin's sake.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Why Jenas instead of Parker or Murphy?

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Maybe due to the fact that Smith has played every game this season in a defensive midfield position?

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Exactly - he's being groomed as a possible successor for Roy Keane's position and whether or not he'll ever acheive that is another matter, but Keano has never been known for his goalscoring.

Hmmm I so agree Marky.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Anyone know what's going on with Beckham. :erm:

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

If you mean recent events, his son Romeo has had an epileptic fit or something along those lines, but he has now been given the all clear.

The above may have some bearing on the forthcoming match against Austria as far as Beckham is concerned.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

It would Understandable if he Doesn’t play but i heared Beckham was flying out To join the team tomorrow. :erm:

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Not wishing owt on the kid but I'd argue England are a better side sans Beckham.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

True. :)

ah i just Went tham to play the games and get it ****ing over with. :mad:

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

I hope we lose!

We're never going to win anything under Eriksson (spit) and it's the only way he'll go.
Get Harry Redknapp in and we'll have a chance to beat Poland and qualify through the runners up position.

We've probabley got some of the most gifted players in years and it's all going to waste.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

im starting to think the only reason players like frank lampard look good are because of one off goals and the foreign contingent surrounding the england players to make them look good.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

That's a ****ing funny joke. :rofl:

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Why?

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Harry Redknapp Couldn’t manage his way out of a ****ing paper bag just look
What he's done to southampton.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Look what he done for most of his time at West Ham and Portsmouth.

Look at the players he brought through West Ham,
Lampard,Ferdinand,Cole and Defoe are all in the squad.

He'll have the respect of the players and get us passing and crossing the effin ball.

Oh, and he's English.

Eriksson is the joke!

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Eriksson is going after the WC, if we get there, the FA have already told this to the England team sponsors. The FA haven't ruled out another foreign coach yet

Beckham will play as he has flown out to meet the squad now.. Even if he was missing a leg, or dead, Eriksson would still put him on the pitch

Against N.Ireland he played people who weren't fit even though we had Wright-Philips, Cole, Murphy, Richardson etc waiting to play who were

We can't win anything under Eriksson as he has no bottle to drop anyone, or any tacktical knowledge to do anything with the players he has.. He's already said he's likely to play Rio in front of Terry and that's just because when he started as manager it was Rio and Sol

One of the newspapers watched Eriksson when he was at a game and said he took no notes and barely seemed to notice what was going on in the match

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

You know i really think Eriksson can take england to a world cup win. the game Against N.Ireland was a blup i mean thay hadn’t lost a qualifying game Since he took over in 01. the squad as a hole and the way the england set up works
Is alot more professional now than under any other england manager Eriksson's
Doing all the right stuff to take us to victory in 06.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Finally some sense, the f***in newspapers wreck our team with all their childish comments and poor comments. Look at errikson's record of competitive games? Look at the squad he got you all say its good right? well its only good because he was the first manager to have the guts to get rid of all the has beens. I think the truth is people dont like him because he isnt english and have always had it in for him, maybe he would pick a better team if the papers left him alone to do his job.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Anyone know whats going on here ?
We keep on seeing these accusations from time to time, another tabloid claims it is a Man Utd star this time.
It would seem that all famous young footballers are rapists, especially the rich ones, what a strange world we live in.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

I wouldn’t take is to seriously yesman after all it's the sun. :rolleyes:

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

It's not a very good performance though, this half anyway.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Congrats to wales :clap:

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

The Welsh 2nd goal was excellent !!!

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Doesn't count.

Wasn't against the Saesneg :(

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

I can't believe Beckham got sent off... The other bloke dived... :(

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Ah well, if England lose then we all know who to blame :D

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Well he's never been blamed before as he :rolleyes:

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Aw come on, you know the law - if England lose or fail to qualify, legally one man must be blamed, whether a player or the manager......:angel:

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

1-0 is all you need, after all. England aren't good for my blood pressure. OK, England aren't good, full stop. Dodgy ref though.

Ah well, he will miss a few games now and we'll pwn. Good thing.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Good news from Prague: Holland are 2-0 up at half time... England qualify directly if Holland win.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

yep and hopefully holland wont capitulate. ;)

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Can someone please tell me how Peter Crouch managed to get into the England team?

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

i was thinking the same, i think its becauase hes 6ft 7inch and can do knock downs from goal kicks or crosses :p:

apparently hes a 'good' player :shrug:

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

...in theory... ;) :D

You make me larf! ;) :D

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

ive not seen the lanky git do much apart from what i have said in my previous post, oh and the fact hes now playing for liverpool.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

I know. He does a good impression of a headless chicken when he runs :)

I was actually surprised when Liverpool signed him, but that was nothing when I heard that he had been called up for England.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

pmsl repped :p:

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Like the rest of the team did today, apart from the right back Young imo

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

With Crouch, that is normal though

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Well, I don't think he starts on Wednesday, as Rooney is back I think ?

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Thank god ;)

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

England Qualify :D

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Germany will win the world cup anyway, the writing is on the wall, home nation, no need to qualify, I wonder if it will be England that play them in the final :disturbd:

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

:)

Possibly not a foregone conclusion that Deutschland will be uber alles...

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

I thought the home nation automatically qualified :confused:

Oh well, I am sure the home fans will absolutely love this up and coming world cup if they don't :dunce:

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Same way as Gareth Taylor gets in the Forest team.


HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOF.


Whatever you do, do NOT watch Sky Sports Xtra tomorrow aft.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

I think forest are on SS1

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

so they are. last time i checked they were on Xtra, must have moved it. same holdeth though.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Ahaaaaaaa so that game was a friendly :dunce:

I think Germany will do the biz when the time comes

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

I wouldnt take the result of a friendly too serious.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

What a brilliant game!

We needed to win so it was god to see we went on the attack and got plenty of shots in on goal.
Beckham showed why he's captain and lead the others to a glorious triumph over one of the best teams in the world!


Like everton qualifying for europe,scrape in, knocked out straight away.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Nah, just illustrating that Germany aren't whaling the tar out of people at the moment. Very much a team in transition.

You'll have to add an explanation of what the 'World Cup Finals' are. Not many people round there will know :D

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

True the last time Wales got to the Finals churchill was still alive. ! :Yikes:

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Don't be daft man! We know what they are! After all, every 4 years our newspapers are full of the excuses given by the players after getting unceremoniously dumped out of them by Germany or Argentina in the quarter finals (or when you get lucky, the semis - except of course in USA 94 when Turnip Taylor ensured you joined Wales by staying at home....) :)

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Nop not this time Germany are a team of has beens Argentina's side is to young hell thay only get in to the Finals Because the other north American sides are rubbish. Brazil are the only ones who have a hope of stopping us. :D

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

And the most amusing thing is, I can tell you genuinely believe that!

Can't wait for the excuses next year when some team like France or Portugal knock England out in the quarter-finals. Will it be "our players were tired", "Beckham got sent off" or maybe an Alex Ferguson-inspired "Our players couldn't see each other because of the kit"?

Bookmark this page if you want, take a screenshot if you like because I give you this assurance - England will not win the World Cup next year. If they do - and get this - I will permanently change my signature to 'England Forever' :)

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Well it Won’t actually be France thay are not going to the finals. :tu: am looking Forward to the new sig russ. :D
