Poor thing :(

Hay any Luton or Sheff Wed fans in the house. :erm:

It'll be interesting to see if Barcelona can pull this one off. If they do then I think it'll be safe to say @rse won't be bothering United or Chelsea for a while.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Player seeking new contract, stories abound in the media about a move abroad. Surprise, surprise. Shame about all the players who've signed new contracts already this season (Cole, Fabregas, Reyes, Gilberto...).

I seem to remember 'van Nisteldiver to Real Madrid' a couple of years ago - what happened to that?

I'm more worried about Henry's injury, tbh. We can't rely on central defenders scoring two goals a game all season.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

What signs are these that he is supposed to show? Lift up his shirt after scoring a goal and have "I want a new contract" written on his t-shirt?

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Why is that a shame?

who Wouldn’t wanna play for Barcelona ok at the end of the day it will probably
Come down to Barcelona offering him more money than the gunners can aford
To keep him there.

The showdown - Swansea City v. Nottingham Forest
 

We're gonna thrash them, us Swansea boys. Damn that I live in Nottinghamshire!! :shocked: :D

Re: The showdown - Swansea City v. Nottingham Forest
 

:tu: But I hope they beat the jacks.

Then again this is Forest we are talking about so I guess not.

If all else fails then in in the words of the Kaiser Chiefs - I predict a riot

:D

Re: The showdown - Swansea City v. Nottingham Forest
 

You're in a catch 22. You're a Swan living in Notts...

- Swansea win - you're happy but the locals are peed that your side has beaten forest. You get dissed... making you peed.

- Forest win - you're peed because your side got caned by Megson's football genius ( :erm: ) all the locals are happy and take the rip because you "support a **** side" and that pees you off more...

Personally I think Trundle will pwn us. Hoult is a decent keeper but all Eaden does is hoof it, Morgan's too much of a ****head to care about his career (we used to sing "you'll never beat Wes Morgan" now everyone beats him), we don't have a fit, senior left back (Padula's injured, Curtis is a right back, Thompson has been playing there but he's not a right back- meaning we might have to recall pie-face), Breckin's good but 1/4 isn't.
Midfield is probably our best area. Southall's been good, as is Commons. In the centre if Megson has any sense he'll keep Perch and Friio in there, much as I don't rate DF it's a winning side.
Up front Lester has been a revelation since coming back from serious injury - we need to keep him in the side, and Johnson is... erm... Johnson...

Needless to say, an away trip to the side first in the league, I can only say 3-1 to Swansea or more... but my pessimism has haunted me in the past.

Swansea to win 2-0 :)
