Re: Football talk
 

its a shame but i am surprised it has taken this long tbh :(

Re: Football talk
 

Here is some good news for Nationwide league clubs anyway, but hardly a major cash windfall, but I suppose every little bit helps

Re: Football talk
 

that deal is a bad thing for the Health of the Nation :( plus the Fact the coca cola league sounds naff and stupid why don't thay just call it the football league

Re: Football talk
 

let me be the first to congratulate Arsenal on winning this years' title - after their last few performances Man United deserve to lose their crown miserably. Pathetic results from a team who have specialised in pathetic finishing recently. Fergie has no-one but himself to blame for not bringing in some quality defenders and a proven back-up for RVN. Saha has yet (I stress the word 'yet') to prove himself consistant.

It kills me to say it but at the moment, Arse would simply wipe the floor with United :cry:

Re: Football talk
 

As I'm not the Christian type like Russ I can't bring myself to say anything good about the Gooners, however I agree that they have probably won the title this year :erm: :cry:

Re: Football talk
 

the waistline challenged lady hasnt sung yet debs......
last year the gooners blew about 15 points on us......
the corner will turn..........soon

Re: Football talk
 

Thats the sad fact, they blew it, but United also played well to the end of the season last time, no sign of that at the moment.:(

Re: Football talk
 

All I can say is after the last number of games, we can really see how good Ferdinand actually is.

Re: Football talk
 

yes we are playing crap and gifting points away......
our defence is inept without rio.......wes brown is a liability
ole is still rusty......a few more games at least till hes back on song
giggsy needs a rest.......we also need a back-up for him
and becks.........fergie needed a slap for selling him
things can only get better..........

Re: Football talk
 

I reckon this seasons the beggining of the end for manu :)

Re: Football talk
 

no i still believe we have a chance, until its mathematically over.....

we just need some defenders!!!!!

Re: Football talk
 

it's bad luck you had to win it in a leap year as you won't
be able to celebrate the Fact that you won the cup next year :spin:

Re: Football talk
 

could also be the end of the beginning for Stoke City.:cool:

Re: Football talk
 

Manchester United is falling down, falling down......lol you lost another "potential" signing who obviously know when a ship is sinking hah :p

Re: Football talk
 

Yes, you must be correct, and there was me thinking it was just because Chelsea paid £13 million, and United offered a maximum, and more realistic figure of £8.6 million.:rolleyes: :)

Re: Football talk
 

Yeah but truth is, that if you can't pay above Chelsea then you ain't getting the footballers, and if you ain't getting the footballers, you ain't strengthening the team and believe me that what Man Utd really needs at the moment. Someone in the middle and back is needed that can command and lead the way.

And who above you right now ? Chelsea (and Arsenal).... I'll rest my case :smokin: :angel:

Re: Football talk
 

We can pay above Chelsea - Saha

I would not want to be in Chelsea's position, yes they can buy any player that they want, but they are in a worse financial position than they were last year, they are losing so much money. If Abramovich gets bored and pulls out the're in the ****.

Look at Joe Cole, pay 6.6 mill for him, pay him tens of thousand a week, and he hasn't even played a full 90 minutes.

True, we have one of the greatest central midfielders in the world, but he's reaching the end of his career, so can't do it every game.
I had hoped that Djemba-Djemba could be groomed to fill this role, but unfortunately his time spent caring for his sick mother means he hasn't been able to play a large number of games.

not watching because a sort of know it would be over in
the first 5 mins

Re: Football talk
 

Interesting words from Gullit, and I think I am inclined to agree with him.
Shearer seems to think its all about him and not the team he plays for, maybe its just as well he snubbed man utd.

Re: Football talk
 

hmmm i wonder if gullit won any trophys?
naaaah prolly not

Re: Football talk
 

well.....................nuff said :rolleyes:

however

I have to put that cos we've managed to avoid them so far, now where have I put my lucky black cat and rabbits foot :D

Re: Football talk
 

Don't get me started on Shearer - couldn't agree with Gullit any more if ya paid me...Oh, that derby against us was fantastic... :D :rofl:

And just to bring things more up to date, the semi finals here we come.......I can't wait for tomorrow afternoon to see who we get

Re: Football talk
 

Debs, we are the black cats !!!! Personally, I hope we get tranmere / millwall, or you lot in the semi's - we'll easily take the Arsenal in the final ;) :rofl:

Re: Football talk
 

So you'll have no difficulty knocking the Gooners out in the semis for us then ;)

Sunderland v United final, like the sound of that :tu:

Re: Football talk
 

Bring on Arsenal thats what I say! If you want to be the best you have to beat the best!

Re: Football talk
 

Nah....I'd much rather see you's play Arsenal in the semi's, and us play Tranmere in the semi's for revenge - it was them who we played a few years back, and they had a player sent off for a second bookable offence, whom they then decided they'd substitute, and still had 11 players on the field - unbelievable....

I'd rather have you's in the final than Arsenal, anyday ;) .....We just gotta wait till tomorrow afternoon for the draw now - why aint it after the last match on a sunday anymore ? :shrug:

Re: Football talk
 

FA Cup Semi - Final Draw

Sunderland V Millwall/Tranmere

Ties to be played on April 4th

Re: Football talk
 

Excellent.... a non-prem side guaranteed in the final. :)

Re: Football talk
 

Yes, it will make for a geat day out, whoever makes it to the final.
And even better if Man Utd stuff Arsenal :D

Sorry , I had to add that last bit.

Re: Football talk
 

yes, the chance to beat the gooners two times in a week!

She wore, she wore, she wore a scarlet ribbon,
She wore a scarlet ribbon in the merry month of may,
And when, I asked, her why she wore that ribbon,
She said it's for United, and we're going to Wembley.
Wembley, Wembley,
We're the famous Man United and we're going to Wembley.


HHHMMMM it just doesn't have the same ring when you replace Wembley with Millennium Stadium.

Re: Football talk
 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

John O'Shea will have him in his back pocket.

Phill Neville will take care of Viera.

Viera, Woah-oh ,
Viera, Woah-oh-oh-oh ,
He comes from the Senagal,
He gave Giggsy the ball,
And Arsenal will win **** all.

Re: Football talk
 

For fifty thousand quid
He scored for Real Madrid.

Could be a very good week for the Arsenal. Which team gets to play in red, first out of the bowl I think.

Re: Football talk
 

Ahhh the lovely Mr Keane. :)

Good piccy that.... is he running to attack another player or just the ref again. ;) :D

All good natured banter of course... :pp

Re: Football talk
 

Yep, Arsenal were drawn as the home team so they wear red. united will wear black.

Re: Football talk

we need a good result against porto tonight......even though 1-0 will do we need to stamp our authority back on the championship with a cracking win.....

Re: Football talk
 

Is the Chelsea match on live, I have scoured Digiguide and all other sources, I know I will be watching the Reds but I like to flick over to check on how the other UK teams are doing, all I can see is a highlights programme later.

Cancel that, found it on ITV2 :dunce:

Re: Football talk
 

yeh i have to keep tabs on the chelsea game because i have mutu and johnson in my dream team at work......and a gooner called henry
ruuuuudy and giggsy will do the business for my dream team though :)

Re: Football talk
 

2017: Goal. Man Utd 1-0 Porto (agg 2-2)
Paul Scholes puts Man Utd level on aggregate, and ahead on the away goals rule, with a trademark nearpost header after excellent work from John O'Shea.

keep it up boys.....a nice start

Re: Football talk
 

Just got in from work so settling down with a McD's to watch the rest :tu:

Re: Football talk
 

2032:
Paul Scholes puts the ball in the net for what should have been his second of the night but the 'goal' is controversially disallowed - even though the England man is clearly onside
grrrrrrrrrr

Re: Football talk
 

Think the linesman should have gone to specsavers :dozey:

Re: Football talk
 

definately debs.......scholesy is playing awesome as well

Ron Atkinson better pray that I don't find a Genie in a bottle, because 1 of my wishes would be for... I'd better not say, because there might be kids watching :)

Also, I'm I the only one who finds those ford sponsor adverts strange? They're not funny, inventive or interesting. They're just, well, strange.

Re: Football talk
 

Yippee!!!! best result of the night!!!!! I am SO SO pleased!!! you gonna get f**k all, f**k all :D

Re: Football talk
 

whoops , at least the boro have won some silver this year :D :D :D :D :D



me runs for cover :(

Re: Football talk
 

Yeh that was excellent for boro, i think all football fan's were happy for them.

Re: Football talk
 

Everybody was saying that at the end of the 01/02 season.

Man Utd will be back.

Re: Football talk
 

Thats some of the worse diabolical refereeing decisions I`ve ever seen. Definitely ripped off. Didnt even get a freekick for Ronaldo getting chopped down. Have to make do with the double then.

Re: Football talk
 

Remember, the last time that happened, we came back and spanked everyone's botties the next season :D

Re: Football talk
 

How is your team doing this season, whoever it is you support?

Re: Football talk
 

Yeah but you did have Beckham pushing you and you don't have anyone like that at the moment :D Keane a spent horse really :D and for the post next one down, we're getting there.

Re: Football talk
 

I seem to remember TigaSefi being a Liverpool fan. They havent got much to shout about this season.

Re: Football talk
 

Tomorrow will be a good day to watch TV-AM, tenner says Mr Holmes doesnt mention football ;)

Re: Football talk
 

Keane is in NO WAY a spent horse and as for Beckham, you really think Utd were a one-man team?

Re: Football talk
 

We don't really miss Beckham that much, we have OSG who has been out injured a lot this season. After all when we won the league last year who played in all the big games? It wasn't Beckham, it was Ole

you gonna get f**k all, f**k all :D

Re: Football talk
 

Looks it Russ D though. your team badly missing all his superb crosses that Real Madrid now benefitting..... and your free kicks / goals ratio has gone down too. He was a big part of the team.

Re: Football talk
 

OSG ? I am SO SURE that it is OGS :D :rofl:

Beckham came on as a Sub against Real and scored quite quickly from a free kick and I think he was genuinely upset he didn't start the game cos of Fergie pig headness - it may have turned out differently.....

now if my team got rid of Houllier and nab Martin O'Neill......

Re: Football talk
 

thats how he spells his initials on a sunday :D

old norwegian custom :tu:

Re: Football talk
 

How dare you even claim to be a soccer fan - you're a Liverpool fan!

Re: Football talk
 

But but but.... I hate Soccer :pp I prefer a good game of Football :D

Re: Football talk
 

Well, if you're referring to the silverware free 01/02 season (when the Arsenal got a couple of pots IIRC, one at OT), you did indeed spank everyone's botties the next season.

Except Liverpool, in the Carling Cup final.
Except Arsenal, in the 'Giggs Wonder Miss' 5th round tie at OT.
And of course Real Madrid in the European Cup, when a chap called Beckham scored twice to give you a consolation victory. Wonder where he went? Looked a useful player before he got that boot-shaped head injury.

Re: Football talk
 

ROFL @ BBKing, I guess Russ D got told!!!! hahaha.....

How did you get here, bet you didn't use cache 10.;) :D
