Wow - I always knew Mourinho would end up more hated than SAF but I'm shocked that football is starting turn on him already...

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

let's face it though Anders Frisk was a rubbish ref anyway.. you have to call into question any ref who puts on fake suntan before a match.. he just wonders all over the pitch like a prima donna and enjoys giving cards so he can get into the spotlight.. he never should have been on the UEFA ref's list anyway

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Indeed Frisk was a poor referee but you can't force ppl out of a job like that. He should have been struck off by UEFA.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Would make a nice change from Nigel "tight-wallet-asset-stripper" Doughty we have at the moment.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Man Utd - Arsenal FA cup final!

Would be sweet beating them again after doing them twice in the league!!! :D

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

A Lancashire derby would be even better. I cannot believe the idiots at the FA are playing both semis over the same weekend. It spoils the special occasion of the Final, and just imagine four sets of supporters in Cardiff on the same weekend.:disturbd:

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

I have to agree with you about the having 4 sets of supporters in the same area. :disturbd:

They tried this before, at Wembley and no-one really liked it. That was one of the things about getting to the final, was the special, one-off trip to Wembley/Cardiff. :(

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

everyone talks about the FA Cup be devalued at the moment but then the FA have done the same thing by doing this and making 2 trips to the final venue just to get a bigger crowd in

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Agreed !!!!

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

OMG. It's not only policemen that are looking younger, just look at the linesman ( refs assistant ) on the far side at the Chelsea v West Brom game, he's a baby.:)

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

gonna lose again tonight, all the team have flu still.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Your sig still needs updating,:p:

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

I only put wins in, anyway, who do you actually support?

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

The wife, :) ...............if you only put wins in then I guess the mods won't be complaining about the size of your sig, see you at Boundary Park next season.:)

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

:rofl:

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

So let's get this straight, you support Oldham and the Ms at the same time?:rolleyes:

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

You forgot Rochdale AFC. I'm allowed to support any one I chose at my age.

PS. I watched the FA Cup Final when Forest beat Luton, I was supporting Forest then, it's no big deal to support various clubs, I cheered when Liverpool & Forest won the European Cups in the past.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

How in the blue hell can you ever support more than one club. Don't get it.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

"Blue hell" do you know something we don't ?

Tell me where it is written " thou shalt support one club and one club only, forsaking all others" . I am a football fan first and foremost, and for various reasons over the years have developed an affection for several clubs. As well as Man Utd, Oldham Athletic & Rochdale AFC. I take a keen interest in Blackburn Rovers for no other reason than that the first football shirt I ever owned was a Blue & White, Rovers shirt.:)

BTW how did the mighty Kris Commons do last night.:p: :angel:

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

No, he got it from WWE wrestling ;)

I live near Swansea. I've lived here since I was 8. Before that I lived in Manchester for 6 years, hence I support United.

Up until I was about 19, I couldn't get to see many of their games (I probably managed about 8 in 11 years) because of my age and the distance. So in that time I took an interest in my local team, the Swans.

So I support 2 teams. If they played each other.....it would be difficult as I tend to back the underdog but thankfully, they don't play each other often :D

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

He watches wrestling :shocked: , now that explains a lot.:)

PS. how did Kris Commons fare last night ? :D

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Who??

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Years ago it was quite common for people to follow more than 1 team. I even know a couple of old people who used to watch Man Utd one week at OT and then Man City the next at Maine Road. :shocking: :shocked: :erm: ;)

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

:D Apparently he is the new messiah at Forest, the player who will keep them in the Championship. :) He gets plenty of mentions in ' someones ' sig.

Just in case the information is not forthcoming from the usual source, much like the Ipswich result, the mighty KC missed a penalty against Leeds last night.:D

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Well it wouldn't surprise me, after all he only includes the wins remember...:D

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

When I was younger I used to watch Leeds United one week and then Huddersfield Town the next. There were lots of people who did the same.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Commons had flu last night and almost collapsed about 5 mins after coming on. He did well to last the 30 and played well considering, shouldn't have taken the pen anyway, but slipped on the run-up. He did win it though.

As for the flu line, well practically our whole squad's had it including Gerrard on saturday which explains the 6-0 somewhat. 10 players missing last night, for various reasons but mainly flu, that side was just a bunch of kids and they did us ****ing proud.

Considering the circumstances I would have taken a draw before and they've done us ****ing proud in the circumstances, shame we couldn't have won as we were the better side.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

But that not what u really wanted innit ? it's only the crummy FA Cup that meant nothing to you all at the beginning of the season ;)

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

The FA Cup has NEVER meant nothing to me - as I was pretty narked off when United withdrew a few years ago.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

so was i, but something had to give, we won too much and it would have affected our ability to put out a team at all, gruelling travel schedules all over the world :shocked: :Yikes: im suprised were still here....

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Well, Mouriniho has been charged with bringing the game into disrepute.

I can can't believe he has... I think people are over-singing it to try and attack him because he is so successful and controversial. I can't see how his comments aren't anything but an integral part of the game.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...td/4373075.stm

looks like someone got some really sour grapes :rofl:.... look if u can't hack it with the best then look at your own team and improve it. Like most ppl are saying, it the old duffer's fault for sending a bunch of kids to Turkey and not topping the group. Nice one Man****er ****ed! u really know how to make yourself look good!! :rofl:

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Leicester City the mighty blue army have released there new football strip.

http://www.lcfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Welcome

And have to say it looks good.
Just thought i'd let you all know.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

What are you worried that your team, if they get there next year ;), will get drawn against a seeded side then? :D

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Erm no. We were written off and we still in it :D

Anyways my point is that the system we have in the champions league works very well. Top your group and you'll get a nice weaker team. Don't top it and you'll be with the best of the best. Manchester went out because they were inferior to AC Milan. It happens. Real Madrid went out to Juventus because they couldn't string two passes together. If there wasn't so much money in it these days, this comment wouldn't be said.

The problem is Manchester has something like 52% profit fall so they obviously trying to find any way to make it up. And that easier opponents. Laughable really......

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Real Madrid
Bayern
PSV
Barcelona
Bremen
Porto

All nice weak teams there eh.

Though I do agree, all this talk of seeding is rubbish. Man Utd weren't good enough to beat Milan so they should be looking at ways to improve, not at ways to change the tournament.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Finally a measured argument, have a rare greenie from me!!!

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Why thank you!

Still looking forward to seeing you get tanked by Juve though. ;)

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

I'm sure that I put smilies in my post, you must have missed them ;) :D

It was just friendly banter between a utd fan and a 'pool fan, that's all :rolleyes:

Being serious now, I do think that it's a crap idea, as the competition should be fair and equal to all clubs. Even to yours! ;)

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

With added matching neck braces?

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Whoops !!!!

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

The FA have surpassed themselves. Surely Chelsea can't be guilty of tapping up Cole and simultaneously, Cole guilty of tapping up Chelsea.

One has to have happened first surely.

Oh that rugby union thing. Does that count as important? ;) :D

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Speaking of rugby, what scrum half Rooney would make, low centre of gravity and upper body strength.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

We'll ask that if England ever win the World Cup again ;)

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Or if Wales win a World Cup at anything, ever. :p:

The difference is we don't fool ourselves in to saying "I think we can make it this time!" :D

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

39,000 at Anfield today to watch the Liverpool legends play a team of celebs in aid of the Tsunami appeal. Great generosity by the people from Merseyside.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

I'll 2nd that, a great entertaining game to watch also...Only wish I'd actually gone now..

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Sorry, I cant stand the geezer, over-rated, lazy and pig-headed.

Liverpool sold him because he was crap, Real Madrid made a mistake buying him, and had to wait for his contract to run out before they could off load him, then he teams up with his old pals at Man City of all places. :mad:

It can't come soon enough Mal :D

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

you could have been at cambridge untd .

they get relegated this year

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

I didn't go today, maybe it was just as well.
Did you go ?

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

yep they where just unlucky again
cnfrence next year

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

It will do them good, as long as someone else takes the club over (CFU) and has a clear out from top to bottom.

I remember going up there during the old southern league days which used to be good, but it will be sad to see them lose their league status, the club is being run by a bunch of muppets so it is time for a big clear out in my opinion, if it remains in existance that is.

Surprise, Surprise. The student who said Rooney decked him has withdrawn his complaint.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

how well does everyone think we will do tonight..

poland beat Azerbeijan 8-0 but I don't think we will have as much luck.. I read that as they lost 8-0 they will be playing with alot of their Under 21 squad instad as they don't have much to loose.. i think we might get 3 or 4-nil

strange comments from Sven that he can't understand why people are criticising Beckham.. maybe he hasn't been watching the last few England games..

he also said he would be happy with 1-0.. i wouldn't.. in the long run could be better for England to exit the WC early then Sven might get the sack

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

England 1 Rooney Azerbaijan 3 G Neville (og) 3 :erm:

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

Just listen to the Azer's national anthem, it's enough to make you lose the will to live.:D

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

N Ireland Nil were beat again. What's the point in having a national team that has no hope of ever winning or scoring for that matter? The sooner they merge with the south of Ireland the better.

Re: [Merged] Football talk
 

I must have imagined the 5 goals scored by Northern Ireland so far in the World cup qualifying then.
Should Wales merge with England? After all Wales are currently below Northern Ireland in the table.

We don't do too badly for a country with a population of 1.6 million, we still hold the record as being the smallest nation to reach the World Cup quarter finals.

The main thing holding back a united Ireland football team is that the Irish FA and the Football Association of Ireland would also have to merge, something I just can't see happening.
