Re: Football Season 2011/12

being a Liverpool fan Den you'll know a thing or two about bad defending :D how many is it 37 points off top spot :D:D:D:D

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Just remember MM that your beloved Man Utd have won sod all this season thus so far:D and if they defend like that then the only trophy they are going win is the trophy for keystone cops defending.:D:D

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

They will be in the Champions League though, and spent considerably less than Liverpool to do so. ;)

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Yes very true but if l righty remember they went out to those non league minnows Basel.;)

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

...and how did Liverpool do this year in the Champions League? ;)

Plus Basel aren't non league

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

The Manchester Derby next week is going to be epic. Shame, for neutrals, that the teams aren't equal on points but City have avoided the embrassement of having United win the league at their home ground.

That said it's obviously United's title if they win.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

It would be pretty annoying to see them both on level points at the end of the season only for one of them to take it on goal difference.

Should at least be played as a playoff final type of game in the case of level points.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

How do you rate you chances of top four Adzii? You worried about finishing 4th and having Chelsea win the CL?

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Utter crap.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

After supporting Chelsea for the first leg not really thinking we could be sitting 3 points clear in 4th by the weekend I now have a totally different response and lets put it this way, Barca better do something in the second leg!

It's all going to come down to the City-Newcastle game I think and I'm hoping United win next week and City feel there's nothing to play for.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Yeah. That sounds about right. The tension won't be welcome if Chelsea are in the final. I imagine if Newcastle finished 4th and suddenly had their place taken away then it would annoy a lot of people.

I am concerned about Arsenal, we don't do well at Stoke so could well be fighting for that 4th spot as well.

Arsenal striker Robin van Persie named PFA Player of the Year.

Yes that could be tidy little bill he could have to pay out.:D

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

He deserves it (even though Rooney has a better goals to games ratio ;))

But i have no idea how Kyle Walker has managed to win young player of the year...

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Last time I went to a European match was a 1-0 win for Newcastle over Sporting Lisbon. I hope the board and Pardew know what it means to us fans to be able to do that again!

I don't think I've ever been to a Champions League match :( and I'm sorry Spurs or Arsenal fans because I'd love that opportunity even if it comes at the expense of one of you. Bobby Robson would be proud of these boys after the season we have had.

Actually looking forward to playing a big team for once which is a rare feeling as a Newcastle fan that expected 6-0 thrashing's once upon a time. Bring on City and Chelsea, We'll fight you to the end.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

probably Tottenham, and don't be sorry :D

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

St James' Park will be a sell out for the remaining games and I expect a hell of an Atmosphere with the visit of City, It will be even louder if Tottenham are 6 points behind us by then.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

I don't blame you at all. People dismiss the Champions League but it's a great competition, it's my favorite of them all. I have been to some great nights at Arsenal, especially beating Barcelona 2 - 1 last year. Playing at night, that music before the game starts, the thrill of the draw to see which teams you may face and the fact that teams usually attack more. It's great and I would take a top 4 finish over the FA and Carling Cups every time. Football isn't about winning, it's about entertainment and the experience.

I hope you get it was well, just not at the expense of Arsenal. :D

That said I think those games against City and Chelsea will be hard. You've not got a great record against the other sides competing for the top 4. The Chelsea game will be interesting because both sides should be going for the three points. Pardew can't play for the draw this time, he has to go for it. Although Chelsea needed to win against us but they took the draw, I wonder if they are betting it all on winning the Champions League :/.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

That was a rather good goal by Leicester.:D

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

So anyone with half a brain could see Whyte was a shyster that was going to be a disaster for the club but they wait 18+ months before doing anything about it and kick a club, already at deaths door, when it's down. :mad:

Oh well 3rd division it is. Let's see how things go with Kilmarnock, Hearts and a few others in the crapper, no TV deal and an even worse UEFA coefficient.

Re: Football Season 2011/12

yeah hes onlu got 3 games now to net a dozen or more goals

It's definately squeaky bum time with 3 game weeks left!

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Another shocking decision by the referee in my mind as this happens a hundred times during european games.:mad::mad::mad:

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

If he kneed him in the back, off the ball as well. Then it's a red. We need to see it again. I can't believe he would be that stupid.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

We see physical mauling defending like this all the time and nothing is done about week in and week out so and now a ref suddenly decides to pull out a red card.:(

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

What are you talking about? He stuck his knee into his back, nothing to do with defending? :confused:

Barcelona need to win by two goals. Barcelona are still going out at the moment.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

nothing sad about it Den. It was a red. He clearly kneed a player, it wasnt even a sly dig.

Van Persie got sent off for nothing at the Nou Camp. Taking a shot after the whistle sounded in a noisey stadium... now that is sad.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Ugh. I don't want to wait until the 19th May to know if 4th place is CL football or not. Come on Barcelona.

Torres??? you mean that guy that cant score a goal in the league has just scored Chelsea's biggest goal for a long long time.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Unbelievable.

So 4th won't mean Champions League final until the outcome of the CL final.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

It had to be! Torres you beauty!

All over the place as to where my priorities are but the team you all wrote off just put one over Barca.

ok there it is not only does Torres score but Den sends a text to Gary Nev who says Chelsea have done the Country proud.. what a freaky 2 ties.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

The team that finishes in 4th won't be supporting them ;) (unless, of course, Chelsea get 4th).

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Our English flag sits proudly in our home and although there may be bitter rivalry in domestic competitions when it comes to our teams in Europe l support them totally and without hesitation.

Hey Den, who did you support on May 21 2008 and why? :)

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Chelsea may well take their place in next years Champions League at the expense of another team. Would you support Chelsea if their winning meant Liverpool would miss out?

I really don't get the nationalism over club teams. Chelsea are owned by a russian, managed by an italian, and half the team out tonight were not English. Clubs are vastly more international these days.
