Magnificent strike but why did Chelsea give him all that room? :confused:

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

anyone know why the players had black arsmbands on during the United game?

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Yep, United wore black armbands as a mark of respect to Roy Unwin, a long-serving member of the clubâ₠¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s backroom staff, who sadly passed away on Friday evening, aged 78.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

thanks for the info

Pennant = Meadows.

Countdown until the sky tv game with Spurs: 1 day, 2 hours, 15 minutes.

Bring it on.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Where is the footy ?? TV Times says its on SS1, Digi Guide says its on SS1, but all I have got on SS1 is ladies golf and Tiger Woods. :confused:

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Sheffield utd & Arsenal is on bbc2

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Forest v Spurs on Sky Sports 1 tomorrow night. Should be a cricket score.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

This will make him think twice about bad tackles and pushing a ref.

Well hopefully he will learn his lesson :rolleyes:

Come on you Spurs :D j/k

Good luck to Forest :tu:

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Thanks but at home, we should expect more from the manager than a defensive performance with a 3-0 reversal.

Suppose we missed Commons but he did the right thing resting him for the league rather than risking further injury in a cup game we're unlikely to win after the sheep injured him on Sat.

Roll on Leicester at the Crisp Bowl on saturday.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

very sad news that.. actually i read a quote from him yesterday that said it was a journalist that came up with the phrase and he said he never really knew what it meant..

3 Euro Cups with Ajax as a great record though and a great manager.. he copied what Hungary did in 58.. i.e each player knowing exactly what they were meant to do and drilled it into the players in each training session and match so in the end it was instinct

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

well it's not just refs that are inconsistant..

Pennant gets a 3 month sentance for driving and crashing while banned and running off from the scene and then givinga false name

a Man U player, younster anyway, gets 1 year

:nworthy: Ooo Aaaa, Ooo Aaaa, Ooo Aaaa Can-to-na...Ooo Aaa Cantona! :nworthy: ;)

Banning it is just making it a challenge to the fans.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

I will now have to concede that the premiership title is now in the hands of Chelsea FC.

Maybe I was too optimistic, even before today's results :dozey:

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Oh well, there's always next year :sorry: :D

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

At least we'll finish higher than the Arse :D

And beat them twice :D :D

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

I think this is the funniest thing that I've heard in a while... :)

Parents should make sure that their kids do not learn how to lip-read ;) :D

EDIT: Better ban kids from going to the match as well, because what is said on the terraces is far worse than what is said on the pitch. ;)

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Leicester 0-1 Forest (Gareth Taylor 41)

Our first away win of the season and what a team to get it against.

:LOL:

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Well at least we are still in the FA cup. ;)

We had most of the chances you had 1 and the sore shows it. :rolleyes:
Must admit, GUTTED :(

:D

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Don't get too carried away lol- the fa cup means nothing if you end up going down again [and Gareth Williams kisses his wallet again and goes to derby]

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Nottm Forest 1 (Eugen Bopp 68) Stoke 0 (Clint Hill s/off 85 , Clive Clarke s/off 90+)
QPR 0 Nottm Forest 3 (Andy Reid 24, Kris Commons 25, Yoann Folly 82)
Nottm Forest 1 (Marlon King 9) Peterborough 0
Nottm Forest 2 (Paul Evans 77, Kris Commons 82) Preston 0
Leicester 0 Nottm Forest 1 (Gareth Taylor 41) Is this really necessary? :rolleyes:

I dont know the first away win and they think there Derby ;)

get reall and start supporting Leicester City :tu:

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Hehe why would i want to support a load of losers, we're unbeaten in five now.

Besides you should be embarrassed that it's March and we record our first away win at your place. Aren't you supposed to be promoted by now?

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool all play their respective return european ties this week and I can't see any of them getting through.

Liverpool stand the best chance being already 3 - 1 up against Beyer Leverkusen, but it will not be beyond the home team to get a 2 - 0 victory.

The three other teams will need to produce some good displays to turn around their ties, but I am not that optimistic :(

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

THe silence here is deafening.....

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Hehe. LOVE it when M lose.

And to cap it:

Watford 0-2 Nottm Forest (Kris Commons 44, 78)

You wait from May 2004 until March 2005 for an away win- and then two come along in 4 days. w00t.

Watch out for KC's 25-yarder, almost as good as his two 40-yarders against QPR in the cup and Preston a couple of weeks ago. The guy has bags of talent and he's also a forest fan. Who needs Reid?

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Treasure that moment as it is rare thing for Forest fans... :D

Utd played crap, but hey, we were there...

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

What a glosious win for Chelsea. I can`t wait to see the Sun headlines, what with Ronaldinho and his big mouth being shut lmfao

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

A win by default you mean by the winning goal being scored as another Chelski player was holding the keeper back.

:D

Nice to see the Barca players were good sports at the end of the game not.

:D

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Good win for Chelsea, they deserved it and tbh I was glad Barcelona got their comeuppance :D :D :D

My boys got exactly what they deserved from the tie, sod all and should be hanging their heads in shame :knock: :fit:

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Not seen by the ref lol. And what was the problem with old ronnie???? he was really ****ed off. Damn shame :D

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Hey shut it. We've won 3 out of our last 4 now. :monkey: And united are crap and I really hate them, even more so for tapping up roy keane and shafting forest for him.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Actually Roy Keane was all set to sign for Kenny Dagleish at Blackburn Rovers when united stepped in at the last minute, so he was on his way out anyway, Keane had actually shaken hands with Dagleish on a contract but had not signed, Ferguson stepped in on the deal over a weekend apparantly and changed Keane's mind, of course Dagleish was furious.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Yes I know that, SBC couldn't keep his big gob shut [quite glad he didn't, he provided some serious comedy lines over the years and is sorely missed]. Still believe he may have been tapped though just like reid seemed to be with Spurs.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

What happened with Barsa at the end of the game? Anyone know I'm sure I saw Ron have a little trouble with one of the stewards?

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

United are crap? Yeeaahhhhh...riiiight. How many Premiership titles have Forest won? How many FA Cups have they won.

And another thing - we were totally outclassed last night.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

I have to admit that I turned over from ITV2 to the Chelsea game after they announced the first goal and then watched all of that match. I didn't give United much of a chance after the first match. Cracking entertainment at Stamford Bridge.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Shafting Forest?? You got a record transfer fee for him. Hardly what I'd call a shafting.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

4 Division one titles I think.

None, but they have won the European Cup twice in sucession in 1979 & 1980. :angel:

We?? :erm: :D

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Yes we're so crap we're battling relegation. Oh, sorry, my mistake, that's Forest isn't it? ;)

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

So, none then :D

Yeah, their flash of brilliance!

Yeah...

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

So how many Division one titles did Man U win?

They were a dominant force at one stage m8. :)

As in Usher!? :D

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

7 Div 1 titles
2 Div 2 titles

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Nice one, cheers.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

this is turning out to be a battle of who can spit their dummy out of the pram furtherest ? hehe.... it only a game ;)

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

getting back on topic about football Man U were rubbish last night and the poorer side over the 2 legs..

AC weren't brilliant and didn't look like potential Euro champs either but they playeed better than us in both games and got the result

we have too many 30 plus players.. in defence you can get away with being older but in midfield it is too old

Keane and Scholes and Giggs can still produce on their day but they can't do it week in week out like they used to in 99.. there will be 5-10 games a season where they are as good as ever and several other games where thwy will just go missing..

Rooney, Ruud and Ronaldo also didn't perform last night and for 90 mins Cafu was allowed to run up and down the wing with no one ever tracking him..

look at our bench.. Bellion, Phil Neville and Fortune aren't good enough to be in a European Cup squad.. can you imagine Real Madrid or Juventus bring on a player like them.. not only are they in our squad but they start too many games and have been here for ages.. they should be shipped out and replaced with decent squad players who can come into the first team and play as well as the regulars..

Commo is w00t and you know it.

Besides- how much money have man u got. And we will probably stay up now.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

:blah: :fit: :hyper: Money, money, money...lots of money...in a rich mans world...

The usual excuse eh? ;)

EDIT:

Is there only one team going down then? :)

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

No but when your record signing is 3.5m in 1998 it kind of shows something when Mu can spend ten times that on one player.

And we're fifth in the form table, won 3 of our last 4, and last 6 is W3 D3 so we should stay up.

Jog on.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Yep it is good for success when you can spend big money and break transfer records to get the players you need to win trophies.

Sorry, whats that? Trevor Francis you say....

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

If only the championship table was based on current form, not points accumalated (sp?) over a season... ;)

Yes, we're in a better financial situation than the lower leagues and can use it. I guess you hate Ferrari in Formula 1 then for the same reason (richer team -> more money for development etc).

I bet you love Chelsea then with Abramovich.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

NFFC was talking about the present tense mate.


AOL keyword: WERE. See above.

:confused:

Well let's just wait til next season when United play Forest....and we'll talk about who has superiority then.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

United-Forest-next season, we are talking Torquay United then I take it :)

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Only because for the first half of the season we had a manager who couldn't sign an autograph and didn't know where his ******** was [must have been all the fat].

The club was in such a state when he left that it's even taking Megson a while to turn it round. If we go down it won't be his fault but we're in a saveable position now- we may be 3 pts adrift but we have a game in hand, and have to play Coventry, Gillingham, Crewe and Plymouth still, also Cardiff may well find themselves with ten less points before long or at best a mass player exodus, and Crewe are hopeless sans Ashton.

So it's far from over, you Man U fans are lucky, every time you get a player from the youth you don't have to sell to satisfy the bank balance, and you can even go round poaching other clubs' players- and you never get a bad reffing decision well only in Europe because UEFA aren't **** scared of Ferguson like the FA are.

all together: we hate man united :LOL:

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Oh we're used to it by now - and if Forest ever get that successful too then I dare say the hate will be directed their way too.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

:blah: I see that you're into vintage whine then? ;)

So you hate us because the only time that we have to sell a player is when he's not wanted and "allegedly" doing something which "allegedly" happens everywhere else? :erm: :) :D

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

It's still wrong. Jog on. :cool:

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Arsenal look like the away side, but the Scouse are playing well, even though Bayer Lev look like a Conference side.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Silly me, it's wrong to be in good financial situation... :)

Also, you should be having a pop loads of other clubs as well... :)

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Well Done to Liverpoool, confounded the critics AGAIN ;) Bring on Milan or Real Madrid or Juventus or any of them :D

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Very good performance by Liverpool, pity United put out a weak side in Turkey in the group stage, Oldham Athletic's reserves would beat Bayer Lev.:)

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Did you miss the point on purpose or was it an unfunny joke. Tapping up players is wrong, jog on.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

This the full quote:
You'll notice that that your final reply was "It's still wrong". Please tell me where it specifies the exact point you were referring to as wrong, in the first post. (You had 3 points by the way).

I was referring to the money point in this:

...and to the tapping in this:

I don't agree with it, but it goes on at loads of other clubs, so have a go at them as well.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

If there was a degree in missing the point, that would be equivalent to a first class without having attended any lectures. Now you're splitting hairs. :rolleyes:

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

You're the one who didn't point out which point you were pointing to ;) as explained...

My point :rolleyes: was that you should pick on one club, when other clubs do it. Fair's fair. :rolleyes:

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

You two - leave it!! We've all agreed that Forest are pants so let's end it here!! :angel: :D

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Well done Newcastle, brilliant result 1-3 in Greece.:tu:

lets hope the boro do as well , go boro go boro go boro :D :D :D :D

Sky Breaking News

Manchester City manager Kevin Keegan has parted company with the Premiership club, according to reports.
Stuart Pearce is reported to have taken temporary charge of first-team affairs and a full statement is expected from the club on Friday.

Keegan took over as City manager on 24 May 2001 and his current deal is due to expire at the end of next season.

City lost their last game, 1-0 at home to Bolton on Monday, a result that saw the team slip to 12th in the table.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Wow! What a result for Forest!

Erm, I mean Ipswich... :disturbd:

Wonder if it'll appear in anyone's sig? :)

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Have fun today nffc? :)

Make sure you take care of KC - what is it with Stoke players leaving for lesser teams? ;)

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Well, looking good so far :erm: :D :D :D

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Let's be honest - if United got spanked 6 nil then I'd avoid this thread for a while too, just like the Arse supporters were in short supply when their team crashed and burned.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Getting even better :tu: :tu: although what was the flames/smoke all about :erm:

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Fantastic Result 4-0

Lets see if we get Arsenal in the next round :rolleyes:

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Well the BBC got him chucking the flare onto the pitch, good shot of him as well, so they should get the muppet.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

:p:

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Like you did when AC Milan spanked ur arse twice ? ;) Beating Lowly Southampton doesnt change a thing :angel:

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Liverpool get through to the next round of the champions league, beating the worst team in that round and you get delusions of grandeur ;) :D

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Was working that night but posted as soon as I returned :D

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

How right you are.

Does this bring back any memories ?

22 January 2005
Barclays Premiership

Southampton 2 - 0 Liverpool

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

:rofl:

A greenie deserving post if ever I repped one :D

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

How can it be a spanking when we lost each tie only 1-0? :rolleyes:

Great result for Man Utd!!!! FA Cup final here we come!!!!

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

:D Arsenal supporters are still here.

What do you mean crashed and burned as I guess we are talking about Europe here.

Let me some this up then, United lost 1-0 home and 1-0 away with 2-0 on aggregate and would have had to score 3 at home to win which was never even on the cards.

Arsenal lost 3-1 away and won 1-0 at home bringing the aggregate to 3-2 one more goal and we were through to the next round but it did not happen.

Although there was more chance of it happening than United scoring 3 at home.

What do you not fancy reaching the final again and having Fergy make some Hotel cancellations :D

As for Southampton drubbbing well no surprises as you beat a side 15 places below you with a full side out yet in the week United failed to score against a 10 men side (Palace) who were 14 places below you.

You gotta love these die hard United fans.

:D

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

No, I was talking about the Arse's attempts at retaining their title :D

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

There is only one 's' in supporter, :rolleyes: ;) :D

Anyone seen nffc :)

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Out of curiousity since when have referees had sponsership? Why? FIFA can't be short of a few bob. And isn't a bit of a conflict of interests if Chelsea play? :erm:

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Well, I couldn't be prouder of the boys (Spurs). Everyone expected Necastle to thrash us, but even with all the luck and a Geordie referee, 1-0 is still a great result. We didn't outplay them, we out-classed them most of the time, and it is so frustrating not to be able to get the final touch there. Still, done us proud lads. :clap:

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

have fun... only a kinda "called it" half-tear about hoofing and Megson.

KC is w00t though, and this "lesser teams"... hmm... didn't stop us beating you *see sig* did it.

If we beat Sjoke, and Ips*it beat us 6-0, what could they do to you?

[Megson cited "extenuating circumstances" but I think the players left their ability on the coach.]

Positively maybe this might keep the players' feet on the ground- having gone 6 unbeaten and winning 3/4 it's back on square 1.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Rather beat Arsenal in the final than in the semis, much more satisfying :D :D

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

The draw for the FA Cup semi's is at 1.30pm tomorrow on five live..
FA Cup semi-final numbers:

1 Newcastle United
2 Manchester United
3 Arsenal
4 Blackburn

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

:rofl:

Well I think Arsenals chance of retaining the title is far better than Uniteds.

Well obviously as United have not got a title to retain :D

Although realistically it belongs to Chelski this year.

:)

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

lmfao... classic post of the day....really..... :D :rofl:

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Gutted Blackburn Reff on the day noway was it a penalty and as Craig Lavin said 'its cost up 1.5 million'

Well done forest you cheered me right up with your fantactic result with Ipswich.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

True, although have you noticed that each year Arse win the premiership, United end up the following season higher than them?

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

except this season Chelsea have bought the title so we will only get second!!

wonder if Roman will leav if they get Prem and Euro Cup this season and look for something else

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

I can't see him staying beyong more than a few years - he comes across as the type who gets bored easily. I've no doubt he'll turn Chelsea in to a world-class team but where next?
