Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

whatever. better than nothing I guess. I'm not sure if i should hold hope that they will get a DM/CB in the final hours. totally pathetic!

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Yes we really need a CB but I am happy with Welbeck. I think he is exactly what we need short of a world class striker.

---------- Post added at 23:27 ---------- Previous post was at 22:03 ----------

Pleased that it's a permanent deal as well. I hate loan deals unless you really don't wish to retain that player or you have a ironclad option to buy clause. Good for temporary cover, not so good for players you actually need longer term.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

very disappointing window for us no idea where goals will come from :(:(:(

Indeed we would have been happy for you to take Borini but sadly he did not want to go.:(

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

id take 4th bottom now just got to hope we not cut adrift by January as for Borini guess we rather have money for sitting on his backside rather than play typical modern footballer greedy beeps he not even make the bench at Liverpool

Are you happy with your transfer business?.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

no not totally. DM/CB :(

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

My concern for you is when Arsenal play the big clubs as they did not travel well at times last season to the big clubs as they seemed lightweight at times.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Valdes would be better then what we have currently got.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Really Den? I always thought Valdes was a good shot stopper but a bit flappy overall. He'd be on his ass with his arm in the air most of the time when he's challenged.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

He distributes the ball very well which will fit in with Brendon's style.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Indeed as Mignolet in my book has several weaknesses and distribution is one of them.

Whilst I think they over paid...if Man utd are happy paying it,...it is for them to say.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/foo...-sponsors.html

Reading newspaper articles about United over the past month has made me laugh, journalists at first saying the squad needs investment and won't compete unless they spend money. Then when they spend money the same journalists write articles saying that the club have panicked and are trying to buy their way back to the top. Olliver Holt at the mirror is one of the worst: http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/footba...-fault-4066521 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/footba...ansfer-4152849

Criticises them for not spending money and then critcises when they do, its poor journalism just trying to wind people up. I still don't believe buying a world class player that will definitely improve your squad can ever be considered a panic buy.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I think the criticism that might be justified, is why they didn't strengthen defence.

That was a puzzler

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Marcos Rojo and Daley Blind.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Are not adequate replacements for Vidic & Ferdinand.:(

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

The quality they are looking for is not currently available , wanted vemalen (went to barca) , hummells (not for sale) , mangala ( went to man city). I'm sure they're going to spend again in January on defenders if the correct man is available.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

:shocked: Including the band there are more people on the pitch the in the stands. :rolleyes:

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Oh and Luke Shaw of course!

Both are first choice at international level, i'm willing to let them play a few games for us at least before passing judgement.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Di Maria hattrick of assists tonight. Argentina 3-0 up in Germany lol

---------- Post added at 20:56 ---------- Previous post was at 20:53 ----------

and now a goal 4-0 :clap:

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Just been checking the Spurs website for tickets for the away game with Arsenal - Adult admission is £64 per ticket.

This what is putting me off the game, and sit in front of the telly. Clubs are pricing the fans out of the game.

Ridiculious prices to pay to gain entry to a game. Its make me wonder now why clubs get all this money to buy expensive players.

You would have thought that clubs would take into account that everyone is suffering financially, Also today l found out that a club is paying £285.000 per WEEK for a player. Ridiculous

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

First choice midfielder in one of their cases, will be very surprised if rojo is good enough from what I've heard.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Fans said it all tonight, in the England game. Replace Hodgson, before its too late.

We need someone in charge who will inspire the side. Sadly, he didn't even say sorry to the fans for a dismal World Cup. He always had excuses. He forgets one thing - fans paid a lot of money to see England play.
The only goal we scored came from the Pen.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Sadly Arsenal are one of the dearest clubs to visit in the PL Arthur so yes the better option is watching it on your TV.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Denphone, there should be a cap on pricing for games, and it shouldn't be that we pay so much to go towards a player.

I remember going to a Spurs game 25 years ago - l paid £8.00. My son bought three tickets two years ago, and it cost £250.00

I am sure many fans have the same problem. I believe Celtic have a pay structure that if you show your UB40 for the unemployed, you get in half price - not sure on that though

Clubs should be doing more to get the fans into grounds and reduce prices - especially when they get Tv money as well.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Everyone's an expert aren't they lol :D

I fully agree let's give them time before making judgement.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

The trouble is MM nowadays the media along with some fickle supporters are very quick to pass their judgements.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Hi guys

Quite a few of you joined a site I was involved with called New606 over the years, unfortunately the owner of the site takes such little interest in the site it's now in danger of falling over for good, we've set up a new site and are migrating the community over slowly so if any of our members from here are interested or indeed new members for that matter we're here now

http://www.sportsbabble.co.uk/index.php

Be great to see you over there, even you Russ :D

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I've been on there ever since you asked if you could use it in your sig AND I've spoken to you several times :)

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I know Russ, was only kidding, it's a new site now though, the old one is pretty much broken now sadly.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

is there only a thread per team...and not for whole league? eg epl

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Chuffed for Welbeck tonight, I really hope it works out for him at Arsenal, he will no doubt come back to haunt us, just a pity he didn't finish like he did tonight often enough.:(

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Play him up front and look at what happens...

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

England should have won comfortable tonight and Welbeck took his goals well.

I still feel that we need a new manager, yiou need to inspire young players. And Hodgson isnt the man.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Like Shadow says players need to play in their right position as you cannot put square pegs in round holes.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

But there was one specific instance when Welbeck was played in the middle up front and he totally went against direct instructions.

Against B Munich last season it had been identified that Neuer always jumps early when one on one, all the United players were instructed to shoot low in such circumstances. What does Welbeck do when he found himself in this exact position, he tried to chip Neuer who saved easily.

Apparently Welbeck got a bollicking for that and found his chances to perform limited afterwards.

But as I said, I sincerely wish him well at Arsenal.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Good start for Wales

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Oh dear Russ won't be too happy.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Not a bad finish either.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Take out the sentimentality about him being home-grown and produced at United and I'd say he's right. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets better with Arsenal though.

Gary Monk has been named the Premier League Manager of the Month, well deserved too.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Yes he has done well since taking over from Michael Laudrup.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Can't see a Newcastle win at Soton today. Saints win or bore draw.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Poor defending by Arsenal again as it seems they never seem to learn.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

City seem to be employing an "if it moves kick it " policy .:rolleyes:

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

And arsenal an "if they look like tackling me, fall over"

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

The trouble with Arsenal is they have a very soft underbelly and that has not changed one jot.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Sadly a good example of Welbecks main failing, highlighted with Aguero's clinical finish at the other end.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

i thought Arsenal were weak at the back..I'm sure there was talk of needing to strengthen that area

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

They are but City ain't much better.:D

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Why oh why do so called professional players still whip their shirts off knowing a booking is coming.:rolleyes: good goal though and nice pecs. :)

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

This looks like a serious injury to Debuchy.:(

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

True...but that isn't unexpected :)

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

How right you are.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Didn't manage to see it, as I was out with the kids. Were we good or were the Toon terrible?

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

From what l hear a bit of both.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

How is Liverpool's defence? :D

I can see why Poxytino and those players left now lol. :)

On this evidence we will be lucky if we get top six.:(

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

What was that about Liverpool doing well without Suarez?

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

The trouble is they had no option but to let him go and like Spurs you can spend £100 million plus and yet struggle to get the same impact.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Nice dive from CR7. :rolleyes:

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

If the poor officials had seen Wiltshire's blatant handball, it would have been a win for City.

Once again Cheating Arsenal

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

You think after being in arsenals shadow for so long spuds would concentrate on their own teams glaring inadequacies instead of criticising others

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Why is it that Arsenal fans always come out and say that everything was fine.

Its about time some people said ' yes, it was apenalty and leave it at that' Even the Tv people said it was a penalty.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Which arsenal fan has done that then, you don't need to be an arsenal fan to be able to point out spurs glaring inadequacies

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

What about Remy? Any regrets? :)

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

No not at all.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

i will ask again, after he scores 15 goals...and ballotelli has been sent off..again :D

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

You can ask as many times as you like old boy as l will be here for the next 100 years or so.;):D

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I am a life long Spurs fan, and if we have done something wrong, l will be the fiurst to admit it.

But for someknown reason Arsenal fans seems to allow things to happen at the club, and not batter an eyelid.

In truth Arsenal have a manager shouldn't be there. If he were at Chelsea or Man Urd, or even Liverpool. He wouldn't last five minutes.

Even Welbeck - for prime example. Utd sold him as he wasn';t good enough - thats truth.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Yes because sacking managers has worked so well for spurs, it's one of their glaring inadequacies and weren't Tottenham in for welbeck to...

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

It's only QPR but I like this. Welcome to the era of the Van Gaalacticos :)

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

The test will come when you play real Premier league sides.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

That's true and I don't think United will win the league this year but the swagger is coming back and we're finally looking like a team again. A few months for the side to fully gel and we'll be back in the CL come May.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Yes l certainly think you will get a CL spot as it will be Arsenal or my beloved that will miss out.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Its good to see some pace back into the team again, I was impressed with how Blind played as well. Obviously it wasn't much of a challenge but there were good signs there.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Decent game, great atmosphere. For a team with several newcomers they did play well in midfield and up front but you could still have driven a coach and horses through the defence, thankfully QPR came on a rocking horse.:p:

Blind probably shaded MOM for me but Rojo, Herrera, Di Maria and Rafael all played well.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

There won't be many teams that beat QPR 4-0 at home...so certainly playing well

:)
