We looked like a team of new players, who hadn't played together before... :(

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

I think with Ronaldo, Rooney and Saha back in the side, which looks like it will be the next match, it will soon be over.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

2-0!!!!!

José and Abramovich weren't smiling very much today :D

:woot: :woot: :woot:

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Nice one :tu:

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Abramovich actually left before the game was over - sore loser!

Be interesting to see if Murinho will speak on MOTD2 after ;)

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Chelsea absolutely battered us, and we still didn't concede :)

Laursen more than deserved Man of the Match, but it could have been any of the back four today - I'd have been happy with a 0-0, but this was just a fabulous result :D

Yes, did you see Deadly Doug sat behind him and then shake his hand as he left? He had a huge smile on his face :D

Yeah, me too. Funnily enough my Big Sis had tickets to the game... we were going to go and take my nipper along. However, as it would be his first Villa game I said we'd watch us play against another team - one that we stood a good chance of winning, as I didn't want his first experience to be a bad one. Really wish we'd gone, cause the atmosphere seemed electric - although the language was colourful at times too (especially the chants aimed at Terry, Drogba and Mourinho).

As such, my Sis flogged the tickets to a friend of her's... who is a big Chelski fan :D

Talk about an amazing coincidence,

FC United the team founded by disgruntled Man U supporters upset by the Glazers takeover played in the FA Cup preliminary rounds over the weekend. The club, now in the Unibond Div 1 Nth, on level four of the pyramid, beat Trafford FC 5-2 to progress to the qualifying round proper. Their opponents in that game will be Fleetwood Town.

Over a century ago, Newton Heath FC's first ever game in the FA Cup was also against Fleetwood Town. :cool: If they manage to win six more games in the competition they could be drawn against the Reds. :shocked:

Jim.

And then be annihilated ;)

Hmm I'd have loved to see what he could do with a team like Barcelona or even England

I wouldn't mind him getting the England job, having said that, why would anyone in their right mind take it though..............apart from the money that is.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

He might do the same as Henry, sign a new deal and one year later realise he signed it with the wrong club...

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Unlikely, apparently he holds dear the fact he has never broken a contract, men with integrity are pretty rare in football these day's

Hell of a lot of prestige comes with it to, as well as the weight of press and public expectation of course, I mean we ran Big Phil out of the job before his appointment was even announced, quite an achievement really :rolleyes:

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Guus Hiddink should have been employed to do the job, and maybe, just maybe he will get one over on England next Wednesday.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

well England managed to beat Israel..... lets see what happens weds :)
