YESSSSSS

Come on the BORO!!!!!

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Weldone the boro :tu: i see Bolton came from behind to nick a draw. :)

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

With a depleted side, I think Man Utd will get beat at home by Spurs tomorrow :disturbd:

I will now go and wash my mouth out with soap :)

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Unless the ball goes a yard over the line and the ref doesn't give it again!

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Same spurs are a good side at the moment :)

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

This is very odd :erm:

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Or if the ball goes no where near over the line and the ref DOES give it (champions league semi-final springs to mind here) ;)

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

But I could be wrong

Latest: Utd 1 Spurs 0 :)

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

There's still time for Spurs to get back in it. :)

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Nah - there's something very unsettling about the thought of Spurs leading at Old Trafford.

Still, I'd be more worried if I was a Scouse fan right now :angel:

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Go Wigan ! :D

Yup you could be. :p:

Wigan are 2-0 up. :Yikes:

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Or, indeed, anywhere. I'd settle for three points for the Arsenal, Utd and Spurs drawing, Liverpool going down at Fulham and O'Leary having the smile wiped off his face by Wigan. Oh, frabjous day. Even if Pires needs his head examining.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

See you in the second round :D :handshake :hyper:

Eastbourne borough vs oxford. :)

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

It was either on or just over the line,even ex-players watching it afterwards can't agree,i'd call that near!
If the ref hadn't given it,we would have got a penalty for the foul on Baros and Cech would have been sent off.


I didn't think we'd win,not with Josemi playing,he's total crap!
As i said,that's the difference,we can admit when we play crap and who the bad players are.

Did Spurs have any penalties turned down today?

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Three, by media rumours. Worth checking out on MotD I'd have thought. Mind you, City had a dodgy offside rob them of a goal...

I think Liverpool were unlucky with the timing - if it'd been Ian Rush who'd died I wouldn't want to be supporting the away team next game at Anfield. Fulham definitely had something to prove.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Three! :(

What was the Pires penalty thing?

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

It's amazing just how hypocritical scousers are, they talk about penalties given or not. But at the height of their success were a laughing stock at the amount of penalties they got given, especially in front of the kop. Now, I wonder which end of the ground it was when they were given that goal that never was. :naughty:

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

:D :D :D

Now you're just scraping the barrel :disturbd:

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Failed to strike the ball properly at the second penalty, free kick to City. He was trying to do something clever (he also missed a sitter and got booked, but that was for smacking Danny 'Satanic' Mills so we'll let him off. Anyway, he won us the match).

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Weymouth... after Macclesfield in Carling, Woking in LDV and Yeovil comfortably today - we're gonna lose. Unless Megson clears off.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

You need George Burley :)

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Not if the reason for him leaving Sh*te Park is true.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

What

irreconcilable differences

So Russ D what you think of Man Utd now thay are Below Wigan. :p:

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

What are you expecting me to say - Wigan are better??

Ah yes, I forgot - the league positions by the end of October are ALWAYS an accurate indication of how the premiership will look by May.... :rolleyes:

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

I think as far as position 1 it is. The rest is up for grabs (places 2-7 are only 3 points apart), but as United fans well know, first is everything and second (or third :) ) is nowhere. That's why they're so annoyed.

'Wigan are better than everyone expected' is a fair enough statement, as is 'Man Utd are keeping up their dismal Premiership form of the last two seasons' and 'The only two sides with 100% home records are Chelsea and Arsenal'.*

* 'And 'Arsenal have the best home form and worst away form in the Premiership', if we're being scrupulously accurate. And 'It's Arsenal's worst start to the Premiership in 11 years yet we're still only 2 points behind Man Utd'.

Oh, and Charlton came from behind to beat Pompey 2-1 so they're up to second. It's musical chairs, and Mourinho's conducting the damn orchestra.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

:zzz:

Let me guess, Arsenal won today?

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

But whats Arsenals away record like this season? :rolleyes:

No, SDA, I mean from D*rby... but, because what I've heard is so far local rumour, and could be seen as defamatory, for the admins' sake I'm not going to say in the open.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

100% in Europe :)

Actually, I did say it's the worst in the Premiership, but that's the law of averages for you. 2002 and 2004 we didn't lose any away games at all, remember?

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Yeah I remember - didn't Man United stop Arsenal dead in their tracks?

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

ManU vs Spurs p***ed me off.

Smith the dirty w****r pushing Davids in an unprovoked attack in front of the ref and the ref does f-all.

Plus the usual run of bad luck we always get. A freekick resulting in a goal that was never a foul, hitting the cross bar, a penalty not given when Man U handled the ball. The usual day in the life of Spurs.

Got reminded earlier, this match last year was when Spurs scored, but the dopey ref said it didn't cross the line - when it did by 2'. Losing those 3 points we deserved, meant we didn't get into europe :(

Argh!!!

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season

Do a Sheringham and convert to a Red then and watch all your worries disappear :LOL:

and you being in London is ideal for you to be a Man U fan :D :D :D

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

I am extremely disapointed with you about that remark! :knock: :bsmack: :afire:

You are just adding fuel to the fire!!! ;)

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

I would have said that the other 37 games was the reason you didn't qualify for europe. :PP:

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

ooooOO, did i touch a sore point then!
Good job i didn't say anything about injury time. :)

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Just saw the 'penalty' on MotD - lucky for Pires he scored the first attempt otherwise it would have been a bit of a humiliating day for him, especially when he tried to protest to the ref that he injured his hand whilst punching Danny Mills.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

2 Points you lost. The match was a draw.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

It says here that Pires was insecure about taking the penalty, if that was the case, why didn't someone else take it ?

I find the excuse a bit lame tbh

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Another lapse of memory from Ferdinand :D

Maybe he really did forget his drugs test :rolleyes:

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

I seem to remember, man u won the league by ten points that year, and not because of one game :D But if you really want to talk about extra time, here's a little ditty from the late Brian Moore (bless him)

"its thomasssss, its up for grabs nowwwwwwwww" :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Yep, they nicked it from us!
But they took it from you at Old Trafford with ease! :)


lmao, Henry didn't want to admit it was his idea.
Missing that sitter was bad!

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

With ease ? Just remind me of the scoreline again ? I think we differ in our description of "ease".

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

0-1 with ease.

Arsenal didn't need to win,the mancs did.
I think you 1 attempt on goal,the rest of the time was spent kicking the players.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

0-1 with ease.........I think you were watching with scouse tinted glasses. And wasn't it ruud van nistlerooy who was assaulted in a recent game against arsenal. And of course Liverpool have never had players with a reputation for kicking players.....souness...tommy smith in years gone by. The list is endless.

Liverpool 1 Chelsea 4 (now thats an easy result) :D

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Tell me about, it - just spent the evening in a pub with a City supporting mate - his mirth was audible from outer space. Mind you, if they'd pulled it off they'd be on all the front pages as 'audacious musketeers' or some such rubbish. At least they'll have learnt not to be so damn stupid and we didn't drop any points as a result. 1-0 to the Arsenal has such a nostalgic ring to it, too.

Beckham and Gravesen got sent off for Real Madrid tonight, incidentally. They lost 2-1 as well. At home. Ho ho ho.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

...polishes our cup! :D


BB, Beckham got sent off for sarcastically applauding the ref!...doh

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

lmao ! First rule for all scouse fans, if you have no answer, mention a trophy or two. Priceless !! :rofl:

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season

Bruce receives vote of confidence

That can't be good at all He’ll be Out before the end of the Month. :D

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

serves him right.. he's never shown any loyalty to any of the other clubs he's managed and still don't like him for what he did to palace.. kick him out as soon as the results stop coming in that's what i say

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

However sullivan doesnt seem to be backing him, I think bruce could be the first big sacking this season if no win against everton.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

This should get up Mal's nose, or maybe not ? I have heard that Utd's team tomorrow night will start with Rossi and Ewbanks Blake up front, lets just hope Barnet are not as good as Exeter :disturbd:

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

:(

Palace deserved it,your keeper done well but we missed too many chances.
Benitez could do with taking a few lessons of Dowie about passion!

Hope you do well.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

No **** - Benitez looked like he'd just been nicked for speeding afterwards. Not an impressive performance from him. Liverpool have fewer domestic away wins than Arsenal now :P

Top penalty taking from van Persie - mind you, the next Arsenal penalty was always going to be whacked at a million miles an hour - the keeper never saw it.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Speroni isn't even a keeper.. he may be able to stop a shot hit straight at him but other than that he has no idea where to stand.. when to come off his line or not.. etc and you still couldn't beat us :Yikes:

if you saw Dowie after the game give a big cheer and throw his fist into the air in front of the Holmesdale Road end ( our version of the Kop ) you can see how much passion he has.. shame we never showed it against Brighton though

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

With a bit of luck - let's face it, those blue monkeys are so cr@p they even lost to Villa :D

Bad luck Gaz
I thought your centre half should have seen a red card though, but I guess Shearer was getting some of his own medicine.

Steady on there :D

Oh there definately was contact from Whittle, but Shearer did an earlier "challange", not as bad, but...

I could go on a mad rant about him, but I'd better not ;)

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Ho ho ho. Utd-Arsenal in the next round, I reckon. You heard it here first.

Just like old times eh ?

Lets make it the final :cool:

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

We're already practicing new penalty techniques. Hadn't you noticed?

Serious note - George Best's condition has deteriorated, according to the BBC.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

He's going to be dead by the weekend. :(

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Couldn't find the story, got a link BB ? Anyone ?

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

here you go yesman

Best's condition 'deteriorates'

Looks like he's going to be playing on the big football pitch in the sky very soon. :(

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Thanks, It is not looking to good I have to say.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

I don’t feel sorry for George nor should any of you the guy brought it all on him Self.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

SDA, you will see the points that have been highlighted, we are all made up differently and should not frown upon anyone who can not adhere to, what is known to be the norm, I admit that George was given a second chance, but I am lead to believe that this time it was the anti alcohol drugs, and not the alcohol itself that has put him in this life threatening condition

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

well being a United fan as well this is very sad news and not something I want to see happen.. looking at it from both sides of the fence he's been killing himself with drink since the 70s and never been able to stop despite the fact that he wants to and keeps trying to stop all the time.. as stated above the exact causes of alcoholism aren't really known so yuo can't really say if it is his fault or not

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season

Rubbish or not ?

It is certainly not enough money for a start.
I just hope that the recent rape allegations doesn't make him want to get out of this country.

That's Rubbish he's not going anywhere. :rolleyes:

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season

Don't forget he can't go anywhere untill this whole rape Business is sorted.

Manchester United v West Brom
Doncaster v Aston Villa
Arsenal v Reading
Wigan v Newcastle
Charlton v Blackburn
