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

For the few occasions where Henry has been unable to hit a cow's @rse with a banjo, why did he choose to be like that today of all days :(

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

Football is more then the premiership title, arsenal are still in the champnions league and have to now fight for a top 4 spot so they will be in it next year. Plenty to play for.

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

Whenever United fans say that, we're told it's just an excuse to salvage what we can...:shrug:

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

I'd say for you, that's good. From Man U's point of view Arsenal losing is far more important than Chelsea losing.

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

Not really - Arsenal aren't a serious threat to the title this season so they could have won the game and I'd only have seen it as them leaving Chelsea closer to us.

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

Oh please, you obviously did not watch the game then Russ.

Henrys shot beat the keeper and the luck of the bounce off the post kept it out unlike Robbens which bounced in.

Following on from that if I made a mistake in my job like the linesman did in the Van Persie Goal I would be sacked ffs this rule needs looking at or the linesmen or assistant refereees or whatever they are called at least need to have a clue what the rule means.

Coles goal was nothing spectacular he pushed Lauren to the ground and the old man Campbell could do nothing and again it bounced in off the post.

The loss today means we have now lost three Premiership games in a row for the first time since March 1995, now I am not a stats man but I am betting thats not a record United can boast.

To use a United analogy we dont care about the Premiership it is about Europe now - not.

Chelski were lucky to get through 90 minutes with 11 players on the field as Essien knocked one of Laurens front teeth out but unlike he went down in pain but did not roll around on the floor like someone who had been shot.


Unlike 90% of United Fans who have never been to a home game I was there today in the clock end in a directors box with the benefit of several 42 inch plasma screens it the Van Persie legal goal was allowed to stand it would have been a different game.

Anyhows I am guessing the Arsenal would rather give Chelski another bought title rather than cushion Uniteds run to pinching it.

And nice to see the chosen ****** Mourinho build the press up before the game saying all of his recent outbursts against Wenger are forgotten and buried and he would shake hands.

Did he shake his hand no he did not as he still thinks he is above everyone else.

FFS he is a great manager but his attitude alone deserves a red card.

:D

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

I watched the game and van persie goal was onside, henry was offside which the linesman flagged for but didnt interfere with play, arsenal should have been in lead and it would have meant they then could have closed shop and it would be a different game. As always in football the team riding high tends to get the favourable big decisions in the match.

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

enjoyed the first half and Arsenal were unlucky not to be winning.. the goal should have stood.. what is worse is why didn't the linesman say to the ref afterwards that he had flagged for Henry who never interferred with play so the goal could have stood

after the first goal felt Chelsea were in control.. wanted arsenal to win to help us out in the title race

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

I had no choice BUT to watch it - was down my local :disturbd:

Did Henry have a couple of shots on target? Yep.

Did he put the ball in the back of the net? Nope. Therefore cow's @rse, banjo etc. Most unlike him of course.

Saying that, I was hoping and expecting Arsenal to win.

makes interesting reading.. there are a few articles on the site and should be doing a few more this week

apart from the money the thing i hated the most about the Bosman ruling was the loss of the 3+2 rule.. the clubs now have no identity with where they are from.. the Lisbon Lions would never have existed if this ruling was in place then

also we no longer need British managers as no Benitez, Wenger, Mourinho can come in and buy players they know from their local leagues

Don't think I'll ever say this again but I do really do not want Utd to score another goal, I've got £1 on for them to win 3-0 at odds of 23-1, have already won a couple of quid for having them to score the first goal oops:

ohhh don't want Birmingham to score either, Heskey shouldn't be a threat as he'll fall over for most of the rest of the game

how on earth was that not a penalty :confused:

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

It now looks like Liverpool will now claim 2nd spot in the prem going into the new year, with united moving in to 3rd.
Oh well, it is only a matter of time before things will change at OT.
Nice to see Solskjaer make his return though :tu:

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

Liverpool and chelsea have taken over from man u and arsenal as the 2 big guns, I think arsenal will fight the way back to 4th with man u finishing 3rd.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Oh and Liverpool done well too. :D

With the team Fergie has put out, I can see Burton Albion winning it. :o:

tbh, same here :erm: they have had so much more of the game and a header cleared off the line, lets see what the second half brings oops:

Just seen the Burton players asking Wayne Rooney for autographs, sums up the fantastic spirit of the FA cup and was it any other team I'd be shouting for Burton to go through :tu:

No goals in 224 minutes of FA Cup football. Dear, oh dear. You'll never win anything with kids. Well, not with those kids, anyway.

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

Oh well it looks like Roy Keane had a good start in a Celtic jersey. 2-1 against with the mighty clyde missing a penalty and having two perfectly good goals disallowed.

Happy days all round :D

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

I'd be more concerned if my team were 24 points behind the league leaders, and 6 points behind my local rivals. Especially as they are in the final champions league position. :D

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

Time will tell of course

As Mr Hanson found out. ;)

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

Well, we'll see. You might consider getting Scholes to practice a few penalties this year. Still, on the bright side, at least ManUSA won't have a fixture list pile up this year, there's a few spare European weeks to fit in replays against non-league opposition.

In the mean time I'm too busy LAUGHING AT SPURS, as usual for this time of year. No need to get the WD40 out for the Sh1te Hart Lane trophy cabinet door hinges for another 12 months.

2-0 up, 3-2 down.

Probably, but punky gets confused as they keep handling the ball :D

I am. We lose every week.

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

And you'll never win anything with Arsenal either, judging on this season's performances.

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

224 mins is only just over 2 games, anyway. Not that much- I suspect it sounds more than it is.

I can take a joke, but there's a difference between being funny, and being nasty for nastiness' sake

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

You will find that he said it not only to point out that Man U didn't score today, but to make a jibe about the fact we didn't score in the cup final last season either. Despite the fact that we dominated the game, and his team won on penalties, hence the Paul Scholes comment.

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

not very impressed with the United performance.. considering alot of them kids should have been playing for their places in the team and wanting to show Fergie just how good they are they couldn't deliver.. man for man they were still a better side but didn't look like it for much of the match.. apart from Bardsley and Pique the team didn't look great.. still not sure why everyone raves about Richardson

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

And let's not forget that Burton imported half the sand from entire Gobi desert to make the pitch vaguely playable. That affected a LOT of the ball passing, although I agree that a lot of the players should stick to the B team.

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

Stuff Man U - Villa actually won in the 3rd round of the Cup! For the first time in 5 years, we've actually got to the fourth round! This now means that we'll get to the final (where we'll lose, but what the hell!).

:disturbd:

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

Some recent football chants, I have hopefully removed all the ones with foul language. :angel:

"He's bald, He's sh*t, He plays when no-one's fit, Pascal Cygan! Pascal Cygan!"


Sung to Lord of the Dance tune at Man United the other day:
"Park, Park, Wherever you may be, You eat dogs in your home country, But it could be worse 'cos you could be a scouse, Eating rats in your council house."


Newcastle fans towards Sunderland fans:
"Going down, going down, going down..."
Sunderland fans replied.....
"So are we , so are we , so are we..."


Charlton fans to Shaun Wright-Philips:
"Where's your real Dad gone, where's your real Dad gone?"


Toon fans to JF Hasselbaink. He even laughed!:
"You're just a fat Eddie Murphy"


(To the tune of Craig David - Rewind):
"VAN PER-SIE, WHEN A GIRL SAYS NO - MOLEST HER"


Chelsea fans after Leboeuf said in a radio interview that he didn't like the idea of a swear word in his song:
"He's here, he's there. We're not allowed to swear, Frank Leboeuf, Frank Leboeuf"


In reference to Jamie Carragher's Dad being banned from football stadia after being arrested for being drunk at a football match:
"He's red, He's sound, He's banned from every ground, Carra's dad, Carra's dad."


Don't blame it on the Biscan,
Don't blame it on the Hamann,
Don't blame it on the Finnan,
Blame it on Traore,
He just can't, He just can't, He just can't control his feet. He just can't, He just can't, He just can't control his feet.


"Two Andy Gorams, there's only two Andy Gorams":
Celtic fans to Andy Goram after its revealed the chubby keeper wasdiagnosed with Schizophrenia

Love that last one.:D

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

liked the chants above. not heard of all of them either.. mind you sometimes i can't work out the chants when i'm at a match anyway :D

saw the game last night and those who've read my posts before will know what really annoyed me.. we all saw the incident with Savage, Smith and Rooney and watching it in slow motion you saw the ref put his hand on Savage's shoulder so how on earth was he on the ground covering his face for 5 mins ? where was he injured ? the ref would have been more hurt when he was pushed over and so would Rooney when Savage had him in a head lock.. if Smith can have blood pouring from his head and not flintch or fall over how can a little tap make you stay down for 5 mins.. even hamman after the Essien tackle didn't roll all over the place and that left stud marks on his leg

i'm fed up of watching people rolling about on the floor and i seriously think it's time the physios weren't allowed on the pitch at least that would stop alot of this diving and time wasting ?

i'm thinking of setting up an on-line petition site so people who are fed up can post their names then make the FA, UEFA might actually see how bad the problem is.. LMK if you think this is a good idea and would be interested in signing it

both teams last night would have earned points for that stupid FIFA Fair Play thing but i didn't see any of it last night if there was Savage wouldn't have pretended to be hurt

So I assume that being a Scouser means he has forgotten that in 1999 Man Utd did the treble?

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

Not to mention Cloughie. 2 European Cups, with a team of rejects from the second division, on a shoestring.

Ferguson and Benitez had spent ****loads and the Liverpool ones were on the strength of them having a great setup, Forest came from nowhere and won it twice.

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

Well, 8 points out of 12 over Christmas, and through to the 4th round of the cup. Oh, and only lost one game since the start of December.

Maybe not hot, but definitely warm ;) :D

They are wingeing about the cricket team getting awards, a team made up of English men + KP ;) , playing for their country over five test matches against the number 1 side in the world. Not a bunch made up mainly of foreigners who played crap in the first half, then won on penalties.

Man City 3-1 Man Utd FT

Arsenal 6-0 Middlesbrough Latest

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

For us to be beaten by a team like Man City shows there are serious problems within OT and I have a feeling the blame should lay at the feet of SAF - again.

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

A loss for SAF and a win for Benitez sets up next weekend very nicely ;)

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

Arsenal 7-0 Middlesbrough. Absolutely no trouble whatsoever. Cheer up, United fans, it could be a lot worse. You could still have Steve McClaren around the place. The man's lost it big time.

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

Perhaps we could rely on you to post encouraging words here on the days Arsenal lose?

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

somehow i just knew we were going to be rubbish today and i have to say we have too many players who just can't be bothered and are going through the motions.. O'Shea and Giggs were awfull and Van Der Sar is way past his best, he's cost us enough points already this season and never should have been signed.

Evra didn't look great and had to be played with Silvestre as he spoke French !!! Silvestre had his usual bad game and Brown should have played as he's been our best defender all season..

City were still poor but managed to get three past hope.. imagine if we had been playing a decent team..

how come Chelsea never have performances like this or players who just can't be bothered

well done to Arsenal on a great performance

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

I disagree about VDS - he's made some excellent saves this season although Utd should be looking for his replacement right now - Buffon would be ideal IMO but we'll never get him.

Silvestre's game has slowly declined over the years - the sooner Heinze can get back and boot him out of left-back the better.

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

Leics back to losing ways in league, craig got no motivational skills for smaller opposition.

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

errikson treatment is abysmal, obviously they set this sting up with one motivation in mind and that is to get our national manager changed. What is their problem with him? his record is very good in competitive games, and better then his predecessors.

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

We'll have to agree to disagree but I don't rate him at all.

Poor tactically, no respect from the players, good record in qualifying but that's to be expected when we have such good players- totally flatters to deceive when it matters though.
