True, I read an article in the News of the World on Sunday questioning why every club had to be a stepping stone to one of the top four, primarily it was aimed at those questioning Berbatov's commitment to Spurs given Man Utd's renewed interest.

Tbh what good would it have done Bale to go to Utd, is he better than Evra or Heinze? He'd have spent years in your reserves, hampering his development if he'd gone there

well i think he is better than Heinze who has been a bit of a liability this season.. i've heard mixed reports about him so say he is only really good at taking a few free kicks and crosses and that his play as an actual LB isn't that good when he needs to defend.

He would have got some games with us, esp if Fergie had pushed Evra forward as a left winger, as has been suggested, but he can do just as well at Spurs.. I'm glad we won the league but we can';t sign everyone and it's nice to see players going to some of the other clubs.. would be great to see the top four change and make it into a top 6 or something.. just look at la Liga and how exciting that league has been this year with four teams rather than the usual two going for the title

look at Wright Philips Chelsea bought him just so no one else would and then they barely play him it's a shame that sort of thing can't be stopped by the FA

Got a feeling the status quo will change, all the new foreign owners seem to say 'Champions league in five years' :dozey: :D

To be fair the players have to hold a proportion of blame rather than the FA, look at Sidwell, we offered him a better contract than Chelsea and guaranteed him a starting berth, he probably won't get a look in at Chelsea, seems a shame that players are prepared to use years of their career playing reserve team football

Grrrrr....

Hope Bale gets more games at Spurs than Walcott got at Arsenal when he first went...

We should have got Walcott back on loan, at least he would've been playing competitive matches. Good deal for us & the Gooners then...

I have said it before but I don't know why clubs don't bid for first refusal on young players instead of signing them, that way they can see if they are good enough without damaging the youngsters careers

I wonder how many supporters are going to sue the airline for damages, as they probably forked out quite a bit of dosh on just the tickets alone :O

shame for the pool, cant say much about the game as I missed it.

yes i have to agree about from a free kick, which I don't think was really a free kick, and one bit where they got behind the liverpool back four AC didn't do much.. Liverpool didn't do much more but were still the better side

not a great performance from either side and i'm sure if Liverpool played more to their normal style and got at them some more they could have won easy

You were beaten because your forwards are poor, posing very little direct goal threat until the last five minutes.

mind you the same could have been said of AC Milan

both teams seemed to cancel each other out and no one really ran at the opponents defence which I think if Liverpoool did theycould have won easy

Liverpool were the better side and had more of the play but neither side actually created many chances

As a matter of fact, a recent survey of season ticket holders found that as a percentage, Man United had more members from within the Manchester post code area than did Man City.:p:

I think you'll find the amount of people from the Chelsea catchment area that go to football is negligible, they truly are a bizarre club

if that would've been the case then Russ would either be supporting Cardiff or Llannelli.

I care, I've always thought you should support your local club, tbh though it's the 'fans' that jump on the band wagon that pish me off, mouthing off about whoever is champions

I've never seen the point of "you're not from <Insert town>".

It seems like the only way some fans can have a go at another set of fans.

Some people, why worry about what others are doing, especially when it's as petty as nit picking what football team some one decides to support

i read some comments from a Liverpool fan yesterday saying that AC shouldn't be in the comp as they didn't win the league the year before.. bit neither did Liverpool and they haven't won the league since about 89 or 90 i think

shows how fickle these fans are

in motor racing I don't just support the English drivers and loads of other sports i just follow who I like rather than a local or nation person

lets face it football clubs are no longer the focal point of a local community like they used to be

Yes but when United prove to be the best in the Premiership yet again, it's a handy method for other teams' fans to have a pointless dig.

Exactly, it only ever happens when United win something, people can't criticise the team so they criticise the fans that support them :rolleyes:

Gazzae.

Do you know if Jimmy Quinn (Cambridge United's manager) is linked with the vacant Northern Ireland managers job?

It seems to be a rumour around here, but I can't find any news.

Not as far as I know, people are saying that the smart money is on Danny Wilson.

Eastwoods (Irish bookmaker) have Warnock, Worthington, Coleman and Wilson as faves with Dowie, Nicholl, Magilton and Keoman behind them. They don't even have Quinn in the running.

But this is the IFA who knows who they'll appoint.

OK, thanks for that.
I would have thought that Quinn would need to be managing at a higher level anyway.

The source if this information came from Belfast News? apparantly, via CUFC's website, maybe it is just someone making small talk, hopefully :erm:

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 
Belfast News is a free paper owned by the Belfast Newsletter I think. Can't see anything on their site.

Our Wee Country is a NI supports forum, no one on there is really mentioning Quinn. http://www.ourweecountry.co.uk/
