welcome Jermain :):):):)

still in shock we swapped Altidore for Defoe :D:D

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

:LOL: 1 goal lol

I'm not really against it tbh. i can see that it might be awkward for managers to vote though.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Well Arsene perhaps you need to listen to Thierry Henry more.;)

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

:sleep:

Wenger wants to create a DM rather than buy a ready made player! :(

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

He will never create one with the players he has currently.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Well, I cannot believe what a turn around there has been at Stevenage over the last month. 5 wins out of 6 league games has put us right back into the Playoff picture. Hopefully this can continue until the end of the season.

I'd settle for a draw later between City and Arsenal. Don't want either team to get 3 points, but on the one hand I don't want Chelsea winning the title and on the other hand I don't want Tottenham getting Champions League football. So tough.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Yes Stevenage has improved massively Mark while my beloved has just two points out of the last 15 sadly.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

YES! Wenger hasnt gone for the square peg round hole role :) I hope the players are ready!!!!

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

My , my , my.:)

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Yes! This is more like it :D Players have to stay disciplined though. No pain no gain. Come on!!!!

Now they have to do it for 90 minutes.

Very good performance from Arsenal, a lot of teams in the top 8 are coming into good form now.

Interesting fact, Man City have now conceeded more league goals than United this season...

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Twenty years! I was there that night. Funnily enough in the ground I don't think anyone thought it was that huge an event, Gareth Southgate scored in a one all draw. Maybe for those closer to it but I was opposite. Only afterwards was it obvious what a big story it was. We went on to play United at Villa Park in the FA Cup semi final that season and sadly a Palace fan was killed outside the ground.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Hey Andy, looking forward to Saturday?

Memories of 1976 semi-final, we all know who won the cup that year ;)

I miss Malcolm's fedora...

Will make for an interesting story in the build up on cup final day. You just know that this is typical United - top four (three probably) and a cup final beckon!

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

United's result looking like a good performance now.:D Spurs, City, Chelsea, Saints all bombing out at home to lower teams.:D

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I don't understand, we keep being told that players are tired and need a winter break but when city get the opportunity to have a week of they jet of to the desert for a meaningless friendly and to be frank got exactly what they deserved, complete lack of respect shown to one of the championships top clubs by coming back yesterday. Shame Colin and kymmy don't post much anymore, be good to know their thoughts on the debacle

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Don't get me wrong, I'm gutted and embarrassed to go out at home like that. But the flip side is the payout Bradford, and Cambridge, get from their cut of the crowd, helps them out big time. And they both deserve every penny from their performances. My mob should be cleaning the under 18's boots this week.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

And it was Boro's third game this week. ;)

---------- Post added at 20:51 ---------- Previous post was at 20:22 ----------

Why is that, did someone upset them?

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

And a Chelsea loanee, who I'd like in the squad next season, led the way. A good point about how we've treated youth players in the past, is that Bradford had the same number as we did in their team.... :shocked:

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Except he's not really a Chelsea youth he's a Forrest youth that was poached and is yet another prime example of how the grass isn't always greener, why any young player would join a top club even for the.cash is beyond me

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I know where we got Bamford from mate, and he came in as a youth player, now he's out on loan. The majority of them will move for the money these days. Like it or not, that's the way it is now.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I actually went to the Spurs game today. And being a Spurs fan for over thirty years, l was totally appalled at the way they played.

They went 1- 0 through a penalty, then just played as though they were going to win. Then plucky City got the goal they thoroughly deserved. And typical of Spurs, they conceded in the last couple of minutes - and then they put Kane on with FIVE minutes to go.

It really annoys me that, fans pay an awful lot of money to go to games - where players get thousands of pounds per week - and yet clubs just don't give a damn about the fans, as long as they get money through the turnstiles.

I went to the cup game with Sheffield, and they played the same way. Disgraceful.

Like some fan said on the way home, If Nicholson was alive today, most of those players, wouldn't be playing, and its just about money.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Have to say that the Bradford goals were class.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

I feel that bread and butter clubs, deserves all credit. It also shows major embarrassment to snooty clubs.

It just to show that BIG clubs have little respect for lower league clubs

Nice one

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

The hold up play from Stead was outstanding.

Another shambolic defensive display from us. Fortunately Pardew has the forwards scoring.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Like young English players throwing their careers away for cash dangled far to early, like having larger clubs harvesting huge swathes of young players that other clubs have developed for peanuts, like having big clubs circumvent ffp by charging loan fees for 30+ players in one seasons, like big clubs stockpiling young English players just on the off chance one might break through, no mate I don't like it, don't like it one bit and just because things are so heavily tilted towards the big clubs now doesn't mean it'll always be and if enough people moan about it things will change again.

---------- Post added at 02:03 ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 ----------

Stead looked so good when he first broke through for Huddersfield

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

The excuses that teams and players play too many games does not wash with me.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

The perfect way to deflect attention away from your former team tapping out at home in the FA Cup to a lower division side... http://metro.co.uk/2015/01/24/former...airdo-5035088/

Shocking ain't it! Looks like a terrible wig.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

:rofl:

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Well all those things you don't like, are all within the rules. I'm not aware of us charging loan fees for the youngsters, just that all or part of the wages get paid, and I've no doubt every club does the same. And in the case of our players on loan at Vitesse, they might not even ask them to pay any of the wages. Youngsters with potential all over the world have always been gobbled up by higher league teams, and always will be. And I wouldn't get your hopes up about enough people moaning for it to be changed, none of the football authorities anywhere give a toss, they never do, or will.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

11m£ fee not including Campbells loan fee. I'm not happy seeing Campbell go out, he offers something different which may well be required in the latter stages of the season. I don't know anything about this defender. i hope he is mean as he looks :) and he gets a work permit!

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

You're joking, the epp thing has made things worse than ever and was so close to being rejected by the football league, clubs there are shutting down academies in protest and a lot of it is to do with the advice young players are given, they might earn 10k a week but it's undeniable that they'd develop better playing competitively against men week in week out instead of getting lost in a big clubs development squad, the pfa should represent kids not agents, they're not old enough to sign a pro contract then they don't need an agent. You don't think west brom paid a fee for lukalu a couple of seasons back for instance?

yup chances to kill the game were not taken. also telling that Wenger went back to his square peg round hole out wide game plan although he did stick with the two infront of the CBs.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

In the context of this weekend it was a good result. Managed to prevent a reply or an upset. The results yesterday would have given Brighton a lift I think.

Re: Football Season 2014/15
 

Well, we're no longer the highest placed team through to the next round, but Brighton are out so swings and roundabouts.
