An 13 year old is set to for Celtic U21 tonight

Radio Clyde is reporting that Karamoko Dembele (Who is only 13) is set to play in the Celtic U21's VS Hearts U21's game in Morton tonight.

Arsenal's incredible finances.

http://swissramble.blogspot.co.uk/20...sensation.html

Scrolling through I'm once again disheartened to see Newcastle consistently coming in or the club behind the usual top 5 in England.

Ah well, Rafalution and all. :)

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

I know that l am a proud Spurs fan of over 40 years. BUT, Arsenal seem scared to spend money on decent players.

It seems to me that Wenger doesn't want to bring in BIG name players. They used to be a powerful side.

I know that the big trouble between Spurs and Arsenal over the years s been very money from the late 50s and 60s.#

Its about time Wenger realises that he is just a MANAGER, and can be sacked tomorrow. But Arsenal fans wants trophies and big honours EACH year. And they should get this. But with Wenger they wont get this

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Update:

Karamoko did come on the 81st minute when Celtic U21's was winning 3 - 1.

The game ended 3 - 1.

Nice to see your usual daily rant about your football rivals Arthur.;)

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Look at it this way. Arsenal were ranting last season about Wenger had to spend money int he close season.

What did the papers say - anyone would think ITS HIS MONEY.

In this day and age of TV money, and how much for the football fan pays to see there favourite clubs. I think its right that fans have a moan.

For example if l went to see Spurs play, it would cost in the region of £300 quid if l took my son.

I have complained many times at the cost of INSIDE the ground prices. Its about time the fans had there say in what had now become a MONEY GAME

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

£300 :erm:

Bet it doesn't cost that at all

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

More like £100 give or take a few pounds l reckon

At last a manager who is prepared to drop Rooney from the international side..

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Blame it all on Rooney. :rolleyes:

What was achieved by dropping him? Aside from a truly shocking performance.

The media bandwagon hopping and plaudits for dropping him are getting tiring. Singling out one player for a Rubbish team.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

l am not blaming it all on Rooney but it was quite clear he has been past it at international level for a while unless one has rose tinted glasses on.

That still does not excuse the other players in the side though.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

I'm leaning for Newcastle vs Barnsley :erm:

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Draw was a fair result, apart from the Foxes v a very poor Palace all the teams who played in Europe midweek ended up drawing, most of them games they should have been favourites to win.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Oh dear Man Utd are obviously not awoken from their slumber.:D

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Don't think they will this season. I don't see a consistent game winning team. Zlatan and Martial are the best outlets for goals, then you've got Rashford coming but he's really on Martial level? That's a disaster on it's own imo. Pogba is going through the De Bruyne phase, it's not easy to translate form from one league to the other. He should get there eventually though. Then I also feel the defence is lacking, the days of Vidic or Ferdinand are gone and there's no like for like replacement. To top it all off, they seem to be set up really defensively.

Not the same United I remember. It's like watching Chelsea vs Palace or another mid table team, they're under no pressure and just cruising the ball around.

edit: 2-0, I don't see much of a way back either. Game is done if it's anything like Liverpool away. Ball is being swung in and Zlatan is barely even stood in the final third never mind the box.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Maybe its best if the old boy iadom goes back to bed until the end of the match as its not looking good for them today.:rofl::waving:

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

They'll be lucky just to get to the 45 just two down. Shocking performance, that defence is atrocious to the standard of Man United :erm:

Chelsea look happy to sit off at 2-0, hate it when teams do that. Mine has a habit of it. United could get back in it like this.

Brilliant by Hazard, 3-0, United's defence just stood off him originally.

4-0, defence destroyed. Hopeless.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Good grief l am not sure United fan's want to awake from this utter nightmare and perhaps they should go into hibernation for the winter as l am starting to feel sorry for them.:)

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

United fans should be refunded, that was an awful and lazy display. They had a hundred million to throw around, what's a drop in the water?

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Not a good day at the office for sure. 7 changes on Thursday, 6 today does not help continuity. Why a top class defender like Fosu Mensah doesn't even get on the bench ahead of Rojo is beyond me.

Neither Blind or Rojo is a fullback or a central defender TBH. I have always said that Fellaini should get nowhere near a United shirt unless he is in opposition. I was secretly hoping that disgusting, filthy tackle from Luiz had done real damage, could have been a straight red as well.

A decent spell of play before Hazards goal but only half chances really.

Still it's only a game and has already been consigned to history for me. 😉

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

I'm sorry but that's in poor taste , no matter who you support or what player you like/dislike wishing real damage on an individual is bang out of order.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Newcastle tickets tomorrow night were a tenner and three quid respectively, Newcastle have moved 44,000 tickets for a League cup game on a Tuesday night against Preston. The Rafa effect. Some clubs should take note on the pricing though, people will stay say what they want about Mike Ashley but £23 quid for a family of three is amazing value. Not sure if there's been a happier Championship club this optimistic for the future... then again we're top :erm:

Note: Newcastle also priced the tickets at £10 and £3 for Preston fans in the interest of fairness. This also applied to Wolves fans last game round.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Newcastle in cruise control against 10 man Preston, last eight all but confirmed. Final Attendance is 49,000

3-0, 4-0

Done, rout incoming.

6-0. Preston had one shot on goal and 34% possession. It was lopsided. Two ridiculously strong elevens Newcastle can put out at Championship level, is almost unfair.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

The big bonus for Newcastle now apart from their huge crowds and strong squad is they finally have a decent manager at the helm so lets hope Mr Ashley ties him to a contract for the next 5 years.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Only just got back home from Old Trafford, the crowd was massive and no one left early, I have never seen the streets outside so packed with people leaving the ground.

A well deserved win given the makeshift centre back pairing and a rather poor first half.

Both Pogba and Zlatan could have been pulled at half time. To their credit both they and United upped their game against a toothless, aimless City team.


Young Jim. :)

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Doesn't seem to be that easy when you're not walking into a team of world beaters from the get go. Must have been hard work winning trophies with the likes of Messi at Barca then a World XI at Bayern. Right place at the right times.. An even better example would be Di Matteo.

Unbelievable, 20,000 stay back the ground staff provide the music. Mitrovic is loving it and the fans love him, goals or not I don't think there's been this much fan craze since Alan Shearer. The lad is well on his way to becoming a cult icon. One of the first to say he wasn't going anywhere in the summer and always the last player off the pitch come match day.

---------- Post added at 16:34 ---------- Previous post was at 15:28 ----------

Mitrovic scores twice to put Newcastle two up at Preston.

10 goals conceded all season including cups. 1 goal in the last 6.

Edit: Make that two now. Awful stuff from the Preston fans, throwing objects at Newcastle players allowing 6 minutes of added time that continued to 9.

It's always the away fans that chant that. I missed the Burnley game, my daughter is the lead singer in a pub rock band band, they had a Halloween gig in the Lake District. Went up early Saturday afternoon so only heard bits of the game on the radio.

Looks like I picked a good one to miss, couldn't believe the stats, 72% possession, 37 goal attempts. :shocked:
