Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

STATEMENT FROM NEWCASTLE UNITED
We were embarrassed and appalled by the behaviour of a minority of so-called fans who last night were involved in disturbances and disorder in Newcastle city centre after the match.
Newcastle United have been working with Northumbria Police, and will continue to do so, in order to identify all of the individuals concerned.
The Club will take the strongest possible action against those involved in the disturbances and will impose immediate lifetime bans on all those found guilty.

These deplorable individuals have no place at Newcastle United and bring shame on the Club and the vast majority of its proper, law-abiding, fans.

Flags lowered to half-mast.

Sunderland AFC have lowered flags to half-mast today to mark the 24th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster.

A total of 96 Liverpool supporters died at the FA Cup semi-final between the Reds and Nottingham Forest on April 15, 1989.

Fans gathered at Anfield today for a memorial service, with a minute’s silence held at 15:06 BST.

Two memorials honouring the fans who died were unveiled in the city on Sunday.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

there are too many reports ignoring that above from Fergie. Rooney to PSG. Falcao to Utd. now that would be a scoop and something to bat City with on a financial level. Hernandez is in the mix too. Can you see Hernandez turning it around picking up form at any point like he once did ?

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

There are still reports of it because the same thing happened with De Gea. We put a down payment for him during the season, Fergie rubbished the rumours and we ended up signing him in the summer. We have apparently done the same with Falcao. There are reliable sources saying that Rooney is definitely out in the summer, I haven't heard anything as concrete regarding Falcao. Also, It would be stupid to get rid of Hernandez, he gets about 20 goals a season mostly from the bench. I think to say he is out of form is a bit harsh because hes hardly played.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Exclusive: Arsenal to make Sunderland offer for £10m Simon Mignolet at end of the season

Arsene Wenger ready to install goalkeeper as No 1 ahead of Wojciech Szczesny


Arsenal will make a formal offer to Sunderland to sign their goalkeeper Simon Mignolet at the end of the season.


Arsène Wenger, the Arsenal manager, has had the player watched repeatedly by his scouts and has made checks about the character of the 25-year-old Belgian.

Wenger is expected to restore Wojciech Szczesny to the Arsenal starting XI for tonight’s Premier League match with Everton because of injury to Lukasz Fabianski. The 22-year-old Szczesny had been left out since the Champions League tie with Bayern Munich, and his situation was not helped by comments his father made about his son’s treatment under Wenger.

However, the return to first-team football at the Emirates could be short-lived for Szczesny. Wenger wants to sign Mignolet and install him as his No 1 as he looks to rebuild his squad in the summer. He may have to be prepared to pay up to £10m for Mignolet, who has caught the attention of the leading sides after an excellent season.

Sunderland are not keen to sell Mignolet, who was signed by Steve Bruce almost three years ago. He arrived for just £2m from Sint-Truiden in Belgium. Bruce had fought off competition from PSV Eindhoven and FC Twente to sign the player. He was used more than expected in his first season in the North-east, as a result of injury to the then first-choice goalkeeper Craig Gordon, and eventually ousted the Scot and similarly held off competition from the Irish goalkeeper Keiren Westwood the following season.

This has been Mignolet’s standout campaign, keeping 10 clean sheets in a Sunderland side fighting relegation. He won the North-east football writers’ player of the year and only Joe Hart, Pepe Reina and Petr Cech have kept more clean sheets in the top flight this season. He has also made more saves than any other Premier League keeper in the current campaign.

Wenger has struggled to find a commanding goalkeeper since Jens Lehmann initially left in 2008. Manuel Almunia and Fabianski have played more than 200 games for the club without convincing. Szczesny, who spent a season on loan at Brentford in 2009-10, was supposed to be the commanding keeper that Arsenal needed to usher in a new era at the club, but it has not happened for the Pole.

That has led Wenger’s scouting team to search for a reliable, long-term replacement who would fit in at Arsenal. Mignolet, a thorough trainer and reliable character, has almost three years’ experience in the English Premier League.

His agent recently admitted he would need to move to a bigger club to dislodge Atletico Madrid’s Thibaut Courtois from his position as the No 1 for Belgium. “Our ambition is for Simon to play somewhere that he can engage in competition with Thibaut,” he said. Mignolet and Sunderland distanced themselves from the quotes the following day, but Arsenal’s interest will prove extremely difficult to hold off.

Wenger wants the Swansea captain Ashley Williams and has also targeted the Borussia Dortmund midfielder Mario Götze. However, Götze looks set for a further season in the Bundesliga before possibly moving to Barcelona in 2014.

Wenger will burn Wilshere out if he does not watch it as l have seen it all before with other young players.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

The yellow he got shouldn't have been one, it was a good tackle. The second foul did deserve a yellow though.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Perhaps...I was reacting to the second..and as he was booked, was a stupid challenge.

Then again, I don't think footballers are picked for brains..or beauty :D

so are you saying now because Swansea and Cardiff are in the top tier in England we're going to have trouble?

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Not many have seen one considering the size of stadiums involved. Still come the end of next season when one or hopefully both are relegated back to where they feel most comfortable the Welsh derby will be up there with el classico, boca vs river and the old firm.

Exactly the sort of attitude that makes beating English clubs in their own league all the more satisfying.

I suspect you do find it satisfyingly, which is strange as most English supporters couldn't give a toss about the wee clubs let alone find anything particularly satisfying in beating them. Probably says a lot about your psyche.

Lol, good one. Still reckon United are going down the pan like West Ham? Honestly you had me chuckling for months at that one :D

Yeah, as do tens of thousands of others.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Most fans of English clubs really don't care if the team is from Wales or not. Swansea are actually quite popular. There are jokes about Wales of course but this is just football, it's done for everyone. Liverpool get the stuff about signing on, United mostly get jibes about their support being in Surrey, London teams get stuff about being southern and soft, Wigan get stuff about being a rugby town and so on. Whatever regional stereotype fits. I think most fans of Welsh clubs understand it's banter but they need to get a thicker skin if they think it's a England vs Wales thing as most fans really don't care. Cardiff, Swansea, Stoke, Liverpool, London, Manchester. It's all the same at the end of the day, they're just the same as everyone else.

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

I pretty much agree. But when English fans have a clear anti-Wales bias we're only too happy to step up :)

Re: Football Season 2012/2013
 

Considering they're still playing the old timers and they're even older now it was hardly an unfair assumption and since when is being premier league and moving to a new stadium going down the pan, utd would love to have our debt instead of their own I'm sure and I'm glad I made you laugh, reminds me of the time you compared winning the league cup to a champions league final...
