Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

2-0 to Man City at half time, looks like they'll be the only team with an unbeated record this season at the end of this game.... Mind you I always feel nervous about saying something like that about MCFC :D

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Incredible story from Germany where the Bundesliga match between Cologne and Mainz was called off 40 minutes before kick-off after the referee tried to commit suicide. Babak Rafati was found in his hotel room less than two hours before the scheduled start time. The 41 year-old is in Hospital his condition is unknown.

No bloodbath Russ but a narrow defeat against a top side.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

We went down fighting. Losing 1-nil to the league champions is nothing to be ashamed about.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

And on top of that you drew 0-0 with Liverpool but the important games will be with the teams around Swansea and these six pointer games we hear so much about.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Unlucky Russ

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

I think with a bit of premier league experience Swansea could be a decent mid-table side. The problem is we seem to be a bit nervous and in awe of the big sides. As long as we can adapt to the Premier style we could be here for a long time.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

They certainly play some lovely football and are one of the better footballing sides in the premiership.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Liverpool winning 1 - 0, now watch Chelsea play the dirty tricks game, they are bad losers.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Well as long as the score stays the same l will be a happy bunny.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

I bet glen johnson enjoyed that, I did, :D

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Yes l know the title is between the two Manchester clubs but a champions league spot would be a lovely compensation at the end of the season and as for Glenn Johnson l always find that he is better going forward then going backwards.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

The Sky and ESPN deal is fine, BUT as long as it is not the Old Firm games all the time.

There are more clubs in the SPL than Celtic and Rangers, and l know that these games are big draws, but other clubs need the finance, and Celtic and Rangers have more money than the rest of the SPL put together.

Maybe now, Sky and ESPN can go further by showing Blue Square games, and yes l know that these games are shown by Premier Sports, but you cannot get them on Virgin Media can you.

Read that Harry Redknapp firmly believes that Tottenham can win the Premier League THIS season.

Being a big Spurs fan, l think his heart problem needs looking at again, there is no way they can over take United or City with the squad that Spurs have.

What Spurs need is Constant goals from out top strikers and we are not getting that, I will be happy to settle with Champions League, maybe next season for top slot, we are doing great this season, but don't forget, we can easily lose Harry to the England job - but will Harry's wife allow him to take all that crap from the FA.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

...not forgetting what the taxman might have to say

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Harry can always run the Prison team, against The Inland Revenue.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Or you could always reply to be his assistant.:)

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Man City now need to better Napoli's result in the last game to qualify. Might be a hard ask when you consider City are playing Munich. Although Napoli's trip to Villarreal isn't easy despite the spanish side not gaining a single point thus far. If Napoli do win then City are out no matter what.

United lose against Basel away then they are out too. Less likely to happen however. A draw or win puts them into the last 16 but if Benfica get a better or match United's result then United will be second - quite likely as Benfica have the easiest game in the group to come.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Yes l have been a bit disappointed with the defending of the English sides in the PL this season and they have defended nearly as poorly in the CL as well.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Arsenal :D Chelsea loose :D City loose :D Utd draw :p: oh and Arsenal are the first English side to qualify this season :D

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Not only that but Arsenal have already won their group. All other English sides have both a fight to stay in and in the case of United and Chelsea they need results elsewhere to go their way if they want to win the group.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

I think you will find its lose actually.:p: :D

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

I am delighted that Chelsea lost tonight, and now they have to beat Valencia to go through.

This proves that money cannot buy success, Throughout the game Chelsea kept on going on about booking players for fouls, it was getting stupid.

And Drogba, proving what a Birk he is, the guy was injured, but wanted to carry on playing, l am a believer that a players life can be ruined by injury, and yet Drogba kept on playing when he could have come off.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

sorry cannot contain my happiness :D

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

l see there are not many Arsenal fans calling for Wenger's head now thenry.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

no the jury is still out on him. A plus note though is Wenger made some positive comments regarding Gotze :D

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

And he is going to be cheap at around £30 million.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Well done to these guys :D Just goes to show that perseverance can get you there in the end.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Agreed.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

yeah but hes top quality. Arsenal did have a bid that would of smashed the clubs record rejected during the dying days of the summer window. the funds are there to be spent.

congrats and well done :tu:

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

l think Eden Hazard would be the better buy thenry.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

A candidate to replace Villas Borgas when he is sacked? or Harry when he's locked up ;)

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Wilsheres out until Feb, so we're told anyway. he seems to be recovering at a fast rate so who knows. I just hope we don't hear Wenger saying we wont sign anyone.. Wilshere will be like a new signing come January. having said that Arsenals board were grilled at the AGM, money will have to be spent in the right areas, this covering of the cracks with desperate signings and decent form doesn't cure the main problem. i know its crazy saying that considering what other clubs are enduring but its because we've got a great set up and manager whats the point wasting it. anywho Arshavins near enough gone which will raise funds. out of Hazard and Gotze I'd take Gotze although we might get both :cool: wishful thinking considering Joel Campbell who was brought in during the summer then loaned out to French side Lorient isn't doing bad.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

l think Arsenal fans have to remember that Wilshire is still a very young player and l think it is important that Wenger does not rush him back or he will be at risk of another injury and then there is medium term the chance of burning a young player out as well.

Walking in a Boateng Wonderland

Absolutely stunning goal. You can watch it 10 times and still not be sure how he does it. Bergkamp would've been proud. Of course, Bergkamp would have chipped it rather than send a outside right foot curler into the near corner :)

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

yup indeed a stunning goal, he's really taken off since moving from Spurs.. not that theres any link there or anything :p:

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Arsenal 1 - Fulham 1

overall poor performance by the Gunners, disappointed.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

l have to agree as Arsenal in my mind lacked creativeness at times and defensively still look very vulnerable and well Arshavin looks a total liability in midfield.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Well two goals in a minute although one was a total fluke but as a Liverpool supporter l will not be moaning.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

It was soo poor, we haven't got a spark but with this bunch theres ability to get the job done. yesterday was such a pathetic performance by a few of heads on the pitch. arguments of why Wenger switched are pointless, theres enough quality on the pitch to overcome Fulham.

should be an interesting second half :tu:

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Yes can Liverpool inflict Man City's first premier league defeat of the season or will City pull further ahead of the pack.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

goals galore would be nice with it ending level but sod it, Arsenal need a CL spot, City can stretch their lead.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

A draw is not the result l want.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

I wonder what the bookies are taking on Spurs winning the Premiership?

2 points from second, and a game in hand.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Well a point apiece for Liverpool and Man City and a fair reflection given City's better first half and Liverpool's good second half.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Mario Balotelli headlines.. shocking

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Yes according to Sky there was a rumpus in the changing room and some damage has been done to the door.:banghead::banghead:

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

He's the new Drogba - massively arrogant, petulant and immature.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Yep he was caught trying to nail a catherine wheel up

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

I thought the sending off was a bit harsh, he could have quite easily got away with nothing for both fouls on another day. I suppose his reputation doesn't help him.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

I cannot believe that at this time of the season Spurs are up there with the cry babies of football.

Sir Alex of Man Utd always criticising officials, and Man City with the horrible Balotelli, when Balotelli was sent off, he was just a cry baby who should have known better.

I don't think will win the title, but at least we will be in the Champions League.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Counting chickens before they hatched are we ;)

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

I would love it if we won the title, but l honestly cannot see it, l know that we have a game in hand, but we could burn up, we do not not have a strong squad, like the rest of the top five.

Man Utd, Man City and Chelsea could field FOUR first teams, we cannot do that, but l would love it.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Well at the last count there are 6 teams challenging for 3 champions league spots as Man City are strong favourites for the title so lets forget them so then you have Man Utd, Chelsea, Newcastle, Liverpool, Arsenal and Spurs in there so there is a long way to go in that fight.

Re: Football Season 2011/12

It staggers me how he can lie through their teeth about it and still keep a straight face.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

looks like Arsenal are playing a 4-4-2 tonight :)

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Arsenal 0 - Manchester City 1

really proud of Arsenal tonight, well done lads

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Yeah we did well. Great performance from Frimpong and Chamberlain. Bodes well.

Another crap performance for Chelsea.

Sorry for my absence but l was on duty out my mums looking after her for 3 hours but sneakily checked the teletext every 30 minutes and l have to agree it was a excellent result by Liverpool against Chelsea and who knows now as one more win in the Carling cup and we are in the final.:D

I like Frimpong, he's going to be quality, if he can ever get a run in the team of course and Chamberlain looks good to, like Walcott but with end product and speaking of Theo, Chamberlain's arrival seems to have bucked his game up a bit, lets hope that form continues.

sunderland speaking to Martin O'Neill come on Martin you know it makes sence :):):):):):):)

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

O'Neill is overrated. Spent a lot of money at Villa and never moved up that many places and his teams are always pretty dull to watch.l

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

he finished 6th 3 times with villa and got a cup final and was forced to sell players like milner ect what he didnt want too outside the top 4 and spurs and liverpool 6th is best anyone else can hope for as gap growing all the time

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Yes he would be a good appointment in my mind.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Selling players is ultimately why he left but he had several years of decent backing whilst finishing around 6th each time.
