Hmmm Sam Allardyce plays 19th century football while Mourinho is lauded as some kind of tactical genius.

Some of us paid to go and watch that today!

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

The trouble today Peter is we had no plan B and Mourinho knew that and thus parked two buses today which even Barcelona would have found hard to breach.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Not pretty on the eye, but these days it's about results and results alone. Difference between today and West Ham, to me anyway and I am biased, is that we tried to score with the few chances we had. We were going to the leagues top scorers with a team that's not our best. We've struggled against that type of display all season, so there was no way Jose was going to set up to let Liverpool play their normal game and batter us. Same as when we went to City earlier this year.

can I ask why the hell PFA awards are tonight when there are still critical matches to be played. frauds!

really ?

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

I'd imagine the votes were cast at least 4 or 5 games ago as well.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

it doesn't make sense. it should be at the end of the season but i guess holidays are more important. they could do it pre-season.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

There's no reason I see why they can't have it on the last day of the season, or the day after. Suarez will probably win, and he possibly deserves it. But he's gone off the boil lately I think, and he would have got his votes before that with maybe 7 or 8 games to go, depending when the vote was taken. You could say it's a vote for the first three quarters of the season, missing out the vital end of season run in.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Whats got to be beared in mind is Suarez has failed to score against the top sides in the PL whereas Yaya Toure has turned up in all of them that he's featured in.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Nearly all of them lol....But yeah, his all round game, his power and new found free kick skills give City so much. A goalscorer usually gets all the plaudits though, and the ones that do the dirty work get overlooked. To be fair to Suarez though, he doesn't take penalties, so you could imagine his total if he did.

Barca getting beat again. To a lovely goal as well.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

You beat me to it! Header from the edge of the box! Not seen one of those for ages.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

This is why so many wanted the yellow subs back. A real testing side to play.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Like a lot of the Spanish lot they suffer from the low level of TV money they get. They're who you played in the Champions League semi in 2006 aren't they?

We've jinxed it...

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

ye lol it was nervy match. Riquelme missed a chance to level it on agg in the 90th min in the away second leg. Mad Jens in goal ha.

Arsenal played them again 2009. different kind of game then though.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

I was hoping they'd go down, we've got to many foreign and especially American owners in the prem, we can do without them voting in stuff like Hmm let me see abolishing relegation
