Daglish left a strong team? Like that did them any good....

He went to Blackburn and won them the league.

He was more to do with scouse success than the team he left.

...err,i didn't say he wasn't!

I said our downfall was due to Souness, getting rid of the players and changing too many things in the routine at Anfield.

Still don't know what your point is!

What a joke this is - Link

It was a Disgraceful challenge and Rob Styles said it should have been a red card when he saw it after the game. Its another ridiculous intervention by Fifa.:mad:

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

For a start it's evidently out of your grasp....:angel:

It looks like Forest didn't make it though, but I guess it won't bother nffc to much.

Perhaps the competition ought to be renamed, it might have a bit more attraction.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Indeed tis a silly name for it :) that really was a shock win for oxford we’ve never Won in this competition :Yikes: oh when is the draw for the Next round. :D

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

I am sure that the "lesser" clubs use this competition as games for trialists etc, still, it raises much needed revenue for the less well off clubs.

As for the draw, I am not sure, even their own web site is not up to date, Woking who beat Forest tonight are classed as 250/1 to win it :D but that might have been last season, I can't see Forest in the list http://www.ldv.co.uk/trophy/html/news/news03.htm

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Suppose it's clear that Megson cares more about the league- like to have won though, although I'd take promotion over a cup run. Not that we'll get either...

Bopp and Weir-Daley at least got on the scoresheet... team of kids and Gary ****ing Holt. Joke.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 

Oh nice :D ya the website is just a bit out of date. :disturbd:

why are you lot in the North side of the draw last i knew Cambridge was just up The road. :erm:

Darren Fletcher??? why?
 

I am a Man Utd fan, but why o why does Sir Alex persist in playing "Darren Fletcher" what does he bring to the team? last night for example we had Smith and Fletcher in what looked to me as deep holding roles, am not the manager but i would imagine we only need one player doing that? Smith did good job but Fletcher just chased shadows and screwed up simple passes. :mad:

right, any other Man Utd fans out thier wanna throw in your thoughts; in my opinion it should have been park/rossi from start instead of Fletcher.

Re: Darren Fletcher??? why?
 

I reckon that Defence and forward line is Ok, but the Midfield should be like this
Ronaldo,
Park,
Smith,
Scholes.

They can all pound forward, but smith now can play the holding role as well - Keane - as good as he is, is not as fit as he is either.

I agree that Park should have been on infront of Fletcher

Re: Darren Fletcher??? why?
 

i only put Keane in cause he still pulls out the performances otherwise i would put smith in. i don't know about Scholes and Ronaldo. . Ronaldo makes strikers/forwards do double runs cause he beats players then tracks back and trys to beat them again he should gain a yard then wip it in! and Scholes hasnt been same player for last 2 seasons. he has faded more than keane has in my eyes.

Re: Darren Fletcher??? why?
 

Park was only back from South Korea.
