Re: Football talk
 

i dont know what we are playing at recently but we might play better if our left back was left back in the dressing room and our right back was right back in the reserves the way they are gifting goals away.
3-0 up and then scrape a 4-3 win at the death.....city fans wouldve never let us live it down if we had lost 3-4.
apart from that saha seems a good buy so far ,and ruudy is on song again.

Re: Football talk
 

chelsea scraped another jammy win today....they are not exactly championship material yet methinks........

Re: Football talk
 

I see Oldham took full advantage of all the extra Grimsby fans who had been given free tickets & handed out a 6-0 thrashing. :(

I can see 'Town' going down to the third division at this rate :shrug:

Re: Football talk
 

jeex i would hate my team to be on the end of a 6-0 thrashing.
best of luck to grimsby mate they will need it

Re: Football talk
 

It wasn't just the Grimbsy fans, after a dreadful 12 months, just missing out in the play offs, then the past owner deciding he didn't want to play anymore. He sold off the best players at give away prices, without taking any advice from Ian Dowie, the club slid into adminstration and had to let Dowie go. He is doing a great job at Crystal Palace.
The 3 new American based, Uk born owners of the Latics decided that the first match of the official take over would be called "Celebration Sunday" when entry would be free for everyone at their expense. I thank Grimsby Town for their equally generous contribution.:D
The gate was 13,007 fantastic.

Re: Football talk
 

apparently the next forest boss is going to be joe kinnear......i think they wanted psycho to take over.

Re: Football talk
 

Quick football trivia question.

What has the Premier League of today, got in common with the original Football league formed in 1888 ?

Re: Football talk
 

no idea iadom...........man utd are still the best team??

Re: Football talk
 

There is a clue in the post, look at it the whole of the post.:)
and in this one as well.

Re: Football talk
 

aston villa :naughty: :angel: :D :rolleyes: :confused: :wavey: :eek:

Re: Football talk
 

Man Utd 2 - 3 Middlesbrough. Woops! :eek:

Re: Football talk
 

Well I did say the answer was in my post. Of the 12 original members of the 1888 Football League six teams came from the fair county of LANCASHIRE, more than any other county. The same still applies today:) :cool:

Re: Football talk
 

Sorry, Everton, Blackburn, Bolton & Wolves are also original members of the Football League.

Re: Football talk
 

Its never over till the fat bloke sings, but i must admit things are beginning to look slighty grim, and I still maintain what I said here is the underlying cause of united's problems in defence, I am sure ferguson doesn't need telling that either.

Re: Football talk
 

Re: Football talk
 

What is the opinion regarding the planned disruption to the Cheltenham Festival by Man U fans?

Personally I don't think they will be doing themselves any favours and it will only drag the name of football even further into the gutter. They will be seen as hooligans and nothing else.

Also they will be asking for trouble from the hundreds of Irish racing fans for who the festival is the highlight of their calender.

I accept they may wish to protest, but that is not the best way to get their point accross.

Re: Football talk
 

any disruption to the lives of those parasites trying to drain the club is ok by me.....

Re: Football talk
 

yep, we don't want a stud farm at old trafford :D

Re: Football talk
 

Don't you think it would be better though for every fan to buy 1 share ( about £10.00 ish) and have a voice through that channel? :)

Re: Football talk
 

GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED :D :D :D :pp :pp :wavey: :wavey: :wavey:

Re: Football talk
 

i guess they won then :rolleyes: :D

Re: Football talk
 

Blue moon, you started singing too soon, we were only 10 men... :drunk: :PP: :waving:

Re: Football talk
 

:zzz: , i see they did

Re: Football talk
 

You got back from the match quickly to post that. What a plonker G.Neville is, even though I think Macmaneremaneremanerman, should also have gone.
Hope you has a good view.:cool:

Re: Football talk
 

What a nightmare, only found out at 10 this morning that he couldn't get the tickets, I'm gutted after such a good match. Just my luck :rolleyes:

Re: Football talk
 

Fair enough Neville should have gone (before anyone thinks I'm defending him) but Barton should have gone as well for the way he acted. Then he when he's getting booked, he's actually asking the ref why???

Re: Football talk
 

Sorry to hear you couldn't get tickets Debs :(
At least we won :D

I've decided never to go to old trafford again, I went last wed and we then got beaten by Boro :rolleyes: I think I'm an unlucky charm :disturbd:

Re: Football talk
 

up the boro :D :D :D

Re: Football talk
 

Debates a possible red rep here :erm:

Re: Football talk
 

What Neville did was stupid but the again, who wouldn't be tempted to stick the nut on Steve "I'm still a scouse" Bananaman?

Re: Football talk
 

I have to confess that I didn't get to see the match :eek:

My friend rang to tell me he couldn't get the tickets (A Man U player not able to get tickets wtf :erm: ) so I thought I'd have a lie in and the next thing I knew it was 2.30 pm

so hopefully they'll show it later on Sky Sports so I can relax with my bottle of Baileys and enjoy

Re: Football talk
 

looks as though i missed summat here :(


did he really stick the nut in :confused:

Re: Football talk
 

Paul, have a look, I did rep you ;)

Re: Football talk
 

yep i know you did chuck t/y :)

Re: Football talk
 

Oh yes.

Re: Football talk
 

Not really like G Neville to behave like that, he does seem a bit gobby but not an Arsenal type player

Re: Football talk
 

Muhahaha ooops! gotta bit carried away there. :D

Re: Football talk
 

Thats strange, clicked on that link and my lappy said "can't display page - who wants to look at boring boros website" :eek:

Re: Football talk
 

another much needed win but we still leaked 2 goals against a poor city side who struggled to cope with 10 men

Re: Football talk
 

Judging that selection, the England squad is becoming very boring and predictable. :zzz:

Re: Football talk
 

I think you would need a lot of fans @ £10 each to get someone elected to the board to have a say if that is what you meant.

Re: Football talk
 

Why Heskey????

Does f all for England, but still manage to keep is place in the squad.

I'd prefer Vassell in the first team than him. Vassell does actually do something when he plays for England.

You might think that Heskey is not one of my favourite players.

You'd be right.

It's not because he plays for Liverpool before you say anything.

If you give him the ball, you might as well give it straight to the opposition. Why does such a large bloke get knocked off the ball so easily for??

Re: Football talk
 

I think some people have a very very biased attitude towards Heskey. You say vassall actually does something for england?

Wha? Cos he's scored a few goals after coming on as a sub? Heskey's gave far more to england.. He doesnt get knocked off the ball, in fact.. when he's on the ball.. he's one of the strongest players. No, he doesnt score tons of goals.. but, in my opinon.. Heskey & Owen are the strikers we need (At the moment, Until Rooney matures), then bring Subs late in the game for Vassell & rooney. Heskey' gets messed around way to much.

Re: Football talk
 

Like what?

:rofl: In every game I've seen him, he's been knocked off the ball so easily, my gran wouldn't be afraid of playing defence against him.
Too right!

I'm not saying Vassell's brilliant, but when he's come on as sub, he's looked like he could do a better job than Heskey.

I do admit that England are short of a good striker, that's probably why Heskley's in the squad.

Re: Football talk
 

this IS what's going to happen later on today



Arsenal 1- 2 Chelsea

Re: Football talk
 

Can you tell me what next week's lottery numbers are going to be as well?

Re: Football talk
 

nop i only do sport and the sex of babys:naughty:

Re: Football talk
 

excuse me :eek:

Re: Football talk
 

Im sure you didnt mean it to come out like that, Sir drinks alot.. I edited your post accordingly anyway.

Re: Football talk
 

you had better edit the quote box in my post as well then steve :)

Re: Football talk
 

grrr:pp

Re: Football talk
 

oh so sorry about that it did come out the Wrong way
no offense intended i just got a bit OTT after asking
marry me last night as a result my spelling suffered

Re: Football talk
 

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...up/3478989.stm

I said back at the start of the season I won't be taking Chelsea seriously as a trophy-winning team this year and it looks like I was right....

Re: Football talk
 

looks like you could be right but there's still time from tham to
win a trophy after all Chelsea are still up for the league and in
the running to win the Champions League so don't count tham
out yet

Re: Football talk
 

chelsea blew it against an arsenal team that are ordinary without henry....
at least mutu scored for my dream team

Re: Football talk
 

Up for the league??? As I said, I don't take them seriously yet...

Re: Football talk
 

Does anyone know when the draw is for the next round ???

Hopes again we avoid Gooners

Re: Football talk
 

Monday :)

Re: Football talk
 

nooooo bring on the gooners debs
its about time for another goal like giggsy scored in the semis the other year to put em out of their misery

Re: Football talk
 

Re: Football talk
 

here's the draw for the FA Cup quarter-finals

Millwall v Tranmere

Man Utd v West Ham/Fulham

B'ham/Sunderland v Sheff Utd

Liverpool/Portsmouth v Arsenal

Re: Football talk
 

It`s looking like a United v Arsenal/Liverpool final.

Re: Football talk
 

arsenal v United would be the dream final

Re: Football talk
 

is saha cuptied anyone?

Re: Football talk
 

Yes he is unfortunately

Re: Football talk
 

Yep, Gary Neville lost it for a minute there, but how pleased I was it was Macmanaman on the receiving end :D :D

Re: Football talk
 

Re: Football talk
 

Alright - I'm obviously biased when it comes to Vassell, but that's got to be the unluckiest timing ever :mad: . He goes through a decades long inability to score (at least it felt like it :( ), and when he finally hits form, he has to withdraw!!

Also, when it comes to Heskey, I think that the reason he keeps getting picked is because, if it's desperately needed, he can play in midfield (personally, I think he did well when Rooney and Owen were up front, and he played on the wing - just IMO, of course ;)

Re: Football talk
 

hehe, I couldn't help but feel the same!:pp

But It was a stupid thing to do. Suspension pending doesn't help considering its at the back where United seem weak at the mo.

Re: Football talk
 

Particularly bearing in mind that, when you take into account the yellow card he got for diving, it's going to be a 5 match ban.

Re: Football talk
 

That has to go down as the most pathetic attempt at a dive since Peter Kay in the John Smiths advert, it was so bad it deserved a red for the dive alone.

Re: Football talk
 

I think that's why he was slapping the ground so much - he was trying to find his pride and dignity :D

Re: Football talk
 

I heard it may be considered for the Oscars, can't wait to hear his acceptance speech "I've got to thank Stevie McBanananman, without him this wouldn't have been possible"

Re: Football talk
 

you can never keep Ken Bates down for long read this


http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...ed/3495893.stm

Re: Football talk
 

i had to laff at the sun today having a story about rooney looking like shrek...
poor shrek......he aint that ugly

Re: Football talk
 

Just heard that G.Neville has been fined 2 weeks wages (£100,0 00) for blobbing Bananaman.. money well spent I say.:)

Re: Football talk
 

:rofl: Nice one, should we start a collection for him with the condition that he does the Peter Kay dive again for our entertainment :D

Re: Football talk
 

Actually have to give McBananananamamanan some credit, at least he didn't go down in a big girly heap like some of these Spanish players do, eg the one that get "hit" by Zindane couldn't have been more theatrical :rolleyes:

Re: Football talk
 

I give you the "Neville" awarded for the best performance in the box.:Dhttp://www.lagra.net/recognition/baby/boy.jpg

Re: Football talk
 

a nice win for england wouldnt go amiss tonight.........
what does everyone think about arsenal keeping the cup if they win it for the third time in a row this year?....
being a biased man utd fan i believe if arsenal deserve it then we deserve it more because we have won it more times than any other team......
also if giving the trophys to teams to keep is the yardstick then seeing as we won the premiership in 1999, 2000 and 2001 i think we should be given the premier league trophy to keep......

Re: Football talk
 

well the f.a rule book say if you win 3 in a row it's yours for keeps at the end of the day if thay win the 3rd thay more than deserve to own the thing hell
it's not every day you win tree f.a cups back to back now is it

Re: Football talk
 

lol biased Man S***ed fan, Man S***ed may have won a lot of times, but u never won 3 back to back though.....du'h!

Re: Football talk
 

Its a sad day to all that remember him.
The gentle giant John Charles has passed away.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/3488975.stm

Re: Football talk
 

I was just going to post about that too m8.

In this day and age of overpaid primadonnas skipping around the pitch, we should remember the gentemen that used to grace the game.

Not once was John Charles booked or sent off throughout his whole career.

Re: Football talk
 

yep so right this is a sad day for football

Re: Football talk
 

yes one of the greats of the game
none many of his type around nowadays

Re: Football talk
 

I bet the Spurs fans were wetting themselves today, 3-1 up at half time. 10 man Leicester go 4-3 up before Defoe gets a late equaliser, talk about lightning striking twice.

Re: Football talk
 

aston villa could be taken over.........

Entrepreneur Bob Kraft and his family are refusing to rule out a bid for the Premiership club.

And privately, they are stunned that word has leaked out that they could be ready to make a move.

The Sunday Mercury revealed exclusively last week the growing interest in Villa. We highlighted soccer, ice-hockey and American football billionaires Philip Anschutz and Kraft as the leading contenders.

http://icbirmingham.icnetwork.co.uk/...name_page.html

Re: Football talk
 

ya Spurs have made a habit of giving away leads

Re: Football talk
 

I read over the weekend that he's preparing a £20 million bid for the club which, stupid as it sounds, doesn't seem a lot for Villa :( . Oh well, as long as we can get of rid of that old Blue-nose Deadly Doug, it'll do me :D

Re: Football talk
 

its about time ellis got removed from villa........look at the revival chelski have had since bates went

Re: Football talk
 

And if Villa become successful, will that be down to Kraftwerk.:)

Re: Football talk
 

FC Porto 2 Man Utd 1
Keane S/O

I think man utd's season will end up trophyless, it seems a strange thing to say when we are second in the premier, still in the FA Cup and still in the champions league, but their performances are very disappointing and they seem a shadow of their former selves, I hope they prove me wrong.

Re: Football talk
 

Well the bit of goss that I gave Iadom seems to have borne fruit on the 2nd Porto goal :shrug:

Fingers and toes crossed they win something :rolleyes:

Re: Football talk
 

Hi Debs, you were right, and I thought the film was called "White men can't jump":) . Overall Wes Brown had a decent game but it wasn't a good performance. The away goal is the only crumb of comfort, after all its only a game.

I now need a sneaky way of constantly linking this thread to ones that Ingog and Ramrod might view, just to annoy them.:naughty:

Re: Football talk
 

we are playing totally crap at the moment.......
our defence has more leaks than a welsh market gardener.....
show me the river

Re: Football talk
 

Dontcha love just love it?
Never seen so many people as happy as I have today and they are all talking about how great it was to see Man ****e beaten.
