Great atmosphere and first half was awesome.

If l l was a Mackem's supporter l would be pretty happy Dave.

Not bad for a bunch of misfits.;)

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

apart for the last 4 games of great escape he been utter crap we need much better to stop us for aiming for 4th bottom as usual

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Not bad for someone who has trouble staying fit.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Yes, and I would say £100,000 more a week than he is worth. Never got the hype over Theo myself.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

He promised so much though at one time.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

A good signing as l rightly remember Arsenal were interested in him at once a time.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Here is a list of things which get on my goat and i hope to see less of this season.
1.players making heart gestures.
2.silly haircuts.
3.feminine coloured boots pinks etc eeughh.man up for gods sake and get back to black boots.
4.one armed tattoo fashionistas.
5.silly goal celebrations.
I wonder what stanley matthews,nat lofthouse,tom finney etc would make of these performing clowns.
I do realise of course that there is no hope in hell of it happening in fact i think it will only get worse.But i live in hope.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Yes Figgy it will get worse instead of getting better that's for sure.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

You forgot the badge kissing, that really gets my goat.:(

And pointing up to the sky after scoring .

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

a good game being streamed live by MEN, Stuttgart v Man City. City 4-0 down at half time.:D

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Reading that Pedro to United is a done deal. Hes got to be an improvement on Di Maria...

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Di Maria for the money has been a real let-down in my book.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Oh, I forgot about "kissing the ring"!.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

:woot:

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Now they must win the league but somehow l don't think they will.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

I'll leave this Forum if they win the League. I agree with the pundit (cannot remember who it was now) who said they can start the season good but will fall away by the end of the season.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

They have the skill but they don't have the mentality or physicality to win the league.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

I think they're a lot better in these aspects than they have been for quite a while. Wenger's started showing he's prepared to alter their style slightly to see a game out. Gibbs coming on for Ozil is the type of substitution we've been slated for, but there's nowt wrong with that sort of tactical change at times in a game. I enjoyed it yesterday and reckon this season will be quite entertaining, fingers crossed. And while I'm here does anyone here know if there will be a Cable Forum fantasy football league this season?

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

The league has been reset so if you were in it last season you will automatically be in it this season.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Oh dear will he ever be fit.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

He'll be retired and a coach before the age of 30. Shame, he is a player with great potential to be the new Beckham for England but think these injuries will finish his career earlier rather than later.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Injuries screwed a big part of last season too! :mad:

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

l don't know what it is but Arsenals injury list in these past few years never seems to go down much and this season has not even started yet so perhaps they need to change something in the hope they get less of their players out injured all the time.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Man Utd fans will be well happy with that draw, by far the easiest opposition.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Jammy gits. Ah well, we need them in. England's coefficient isn't going to hold forever so we need a strong performance from English clubs year.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Well at least they are in the CL unlike others like us both.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Hmmmm we got the Danish Champions......

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Well l am sure the whole of Hampshire will be supporting you.;)

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Why thank you my friend. :)

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Very happy because the home leg is on Tuesday night so I won't have to cancel one of my regular squash matches. :)

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

l shall just relax with a cup of tea and hopefully watch our British sides progress in Europe.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Indeed.

If we don't improve our coefficient we will lose a Champions League spot.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Yes indeed and we certainly don't want that

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Don't we? Couldn't give a toss personally

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Bad news for his Premiership rivals.

http://www.theguardian.com/football/...ntract-chelsea

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Not entirely. The horrendous record Arsene has needs putting straight.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Just read this on an email sent to Man Utd season ticket holders etc.

'Marouane Fellaini allowed Schweinsteiger to take his favoured shirt and moves to no.27, the number he wore at his first club Standard Liege, while Luke Shaw swaps no.3 for 23 as a personal preference.

Shaw explained the change to MUTV, saying: "It’s the number I feel comfortable with and it’s probably the number that I want to carry on with until I finish my career.”'

What a load of bulls testicles, what bloody difference does the number on your back make.:mad:

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

It makes sense for Shaw to change his shirt number while changing his kit size...

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

You know what footballers are like, superstition routine rule.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Luke has history with the number 23 having worn it for Southampton and England previously.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Spurs looking great in possession here. I guess if you're gonna beat United at home, your best chance is the first game of the season.

United lead against the run of play, Premier League :D

Poor from Rooney though, you're Rooney, hit it first time man. Nice to see 'consistent' refereeing has made a return, tackles himself and gets a foul, logic.

Pretty dire opening game, Spurs were non existent when they came back out, no team really offered anything, Spurs attack late on but it's far too late, first time Romero has really been tested. Be a completely undeserved point if spurs score. The way I see United's goal is, it obviously isn't a foul but regardless, if Rooney hits it first time it's in, if Kyle Walker doesn't catch him up, it's in, Kyle walker does get behind him and it's in anyway.

Spurs bottom of the league, United top of the league. Bound to change though :)

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Spuds bottom of the league - love it :)

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Where is old Arthur when you need him.:)

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Just on the tram back from OT. Very poor game, both sides will struggle this season unless there is dramatic improvement. On the plus side I did pop into a bar at OT cricket ground and saw the last Australian wicket go down.:)

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Quick! Everyone get Sunderland players out of their fantasy football teams!

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

end the season now pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee championship here we come

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

So much for spuds being bottom.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Thankfully l included none in my 15.:D

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Who was at fault for the goals Sunderland have conceded?

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Bob. I hate that guy.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Comeback on.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Sigh. And I'm back getting worked up over the damn Stevenage team. Good job my BP is not that high otherwise I think I would be blowing a gasket.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Comeback off.

In other news the BBC congratulated Yohan Cabaye on his debut goal then went on to think he still played for Newcastle in the same sentence.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Luckily we got a win today.:)

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Chelsea fans are off their rocker. Up in arms over Courtis. It's a horrible challenge nevermind that he's the last man for starters and Chelsea fans seem to be missing the part where his studs get his knee... If studs are getting knees you're getting sent off, end of.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Yes but this is Chelsea, a team who cannot lay blame at their own door. It is always someone else's fault. Ditto a lot of sportsmen, but I won't ruin my good mood.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Nice to see Arsenal doing well in the first half with their bargain basement signings.:D

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

I'm making no comment... :)

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Well we will probably lose later on but this is certainly making my day.:rofl::rofl:

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Here we go again. Season 16/17 will be different :sleep:

Bilic bringing something to the table at West Ham :shocked:

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

As Roy Keane said too many players more interested in how they look rather then getting down to the nitty gritty of the Premiership.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

It's worth it just to see Wengers face, nobody does 'bulldog chewing a wasp' quite like him.:D

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

I'd take a point here and I think Southampton would. I bet Cisse regains his touch from his first season now and Mitrovic gets nothing, Gino goal on his debut.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

:clap: West Ham. Ppoor from Arsenal.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Didn't watch the game, was Cech at fault for both goals as BBC Sport seemed to hint?

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Sloppy defending for second goal.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Yes. Simply put he wasn't the world class keeper we all know him to be.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

That's why he was Chelsea's second keeper.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

imaginative tactics from Rodgers, hoof it to Benteke at every opportunity. :(

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Alright it's one game. It does seem ironic but Cech isn't poor just because he made a mistake.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

What else can you expect from a tactical pygmy.:(

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

and how they could have done with him yesterday ?

2 mistakes not just a mistake.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

the second goal entirely due to crappy defending, IMHO.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Weeks ago you were cheering on the signing of Cech. It's one game. This is getting ridiculous.

---------- Post added at 17:53 ---------- Previous post was at 17:50 ----------

[/COLOR]Yeah lost possession and didn't close the player down. :( It was a bad performance all round, passing was sloppy, we didn't create chances and couldn't finish the few chances we did make. Not to mention West Ham were excellent.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

I'm just stating the fact he made 2 mistakes that is all. Had he of saved Zarates shot it would have been said that is to be expected from a world class keeper. The first goal was unbelievably poor which summed up his day.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Surely spending the year on a bench has done him no favours. Pretty awful stuff for Arsenal regardless.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Its always surprising how many people overreact to the first game of the season

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Nah the first match club in crisis moments are part of our boring media now.

I'm sure the crisis will move on from the Emirates next week.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

We top of the league for at least a week :)

looks like the uk press didnt like it tho, another scandal story, which has opened the doors for vardy to sue the casino given its illegal to release footage to anyone aside from the police.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Just imagine if Man Utd had lost the press would have had a field day.;)

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Think you've forgotten about City whom are currently 2-0 up with only 30 minutes played :D

& Vardy can sue all he wants he'd probably need it if the world was normal and people that went on racist tirades like he did actually got sacked. The tape is disgusting, I hope he gets the worst possible punishment he can receive. He should have also been arrested for Affray. His missus sniggering too, one of the typical useless WAG's then. Suarez was crucified for his.

Anyone else that wishes to witness this uneducated 'Joey Barton clone' chucking abuse at folks can so here: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...ism-storm.html

Not paywalled for a change.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Unusual stat, the winners of the last five Premier League titles played on the first Monday night match of the season, get yer money on the Baggies then.:D

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Only top team to actually show why they're a top team this weekend.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

I use the word jap quite often on forums and even speaking to japanese people, its not racist.

and yes the casino has breached their privacy contract by releasing the video to the media.

regarding your wish for him to be sacked I would be surprised if it happens, given he is probably our most important player and has already publicly apologized, likely he will get a fine instead.

The questions to be answered here?

1 - did the sun go looking for a story on a leics city player. Or was it handed to them?
2 - Given the sun uses the term jap many times in their previous stories why are they having double standards?
3 - why did they wait until this passed weekend to report the story given they had it for weeks?

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Sadly for you Sir the title will either be going to Mourinho's special ones or the number one side in Manchester so that's where your hard earned money should be going.;):D

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

You forgot the real question,

4. Why does anyone with more than a single brain cell even bother to read the Sun.:confused:

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Hristo Stoichkov on LVG...

Can't wait to hear his response lol

Re: Football Season 2015/2016

Arsenal nab her :D Christophe Lollichon too

So Jose thinks he is a Doctor now does he. Most craziest decision l have ever heard. What happens if a player needs a Dr in an emergency.

I hope she quits Chelsea, and finds a decent club who respects a Dr's decision as final

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Had to be upheld, I fail to see the grounds for appeal, wasn't there a rule that went along the lines of if you submit a daft appeal the ban will be extended?

- Preventing a goal scoring opportunity
- Studs up and at knee height.
- It's not even a tackle, it's a kick basically.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Extending his ban would have really set Jose off on one lol

this UEFA Super Cup match isn't a bad spectacle

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

Ridiculous game, 2am local time too :shocked:

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

That should have gone to penos. 5-5 Cokes header had to go in. Ramis last chance was just salt in the wound.

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

what a game just hope now BT put score on top for premier league games too much better at top

Re: Football Season 2015/2016
 

And as Villa play United on Friday six days was the absolute max. ;)
