very poor performance and can't see any of them kids making the grade at the moment.. considering they are playing for their future none of them performed at all

we have 75% of our back four and were very very poor Crewe were the better side

I found it shocking and disturbing. The lady involved is not holding back.

His mother and father watched it on Dutch TV :Yikes:

Gaz, there is a chance that we will lose our next two Champions League games, if tonight is anything to go by, which means we do not qualify, a point tonight may have done.

We can still qualify even if we lose both games.

Yes, but it is a very slim one, in fact anorexic..........

I would rather be in the comfort zone

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

Not that slim, just needs Benfica V Copenhagen to be a draw or Copenhagen to win and Celtic to draw or win against Copenhagen.

I'd rather have lost tonight that at the weekend.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

we had the worng tactics TBH.. we played for a draw and when the goal went in we had too little time to react

our best play of the night was when we crossed the ball from the wing which only happened twice as we still don't have any proper wingers

Ronaldo is still too greedy too if he had passed a few more times or fed people in the result could have been different

still need to bring in some more people.. i love Ole but after so long out he isn't the player he was.. he's only got a few tap ins and can't really perform at the level we need. O'Shea and Fletcher still aren't really good enough either and won't really win you a game

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

come on lads lets not panick it was a great performance from copenhagen and bar an unfortunate sloppy goal conceded we would have come home with a competant result!

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

Take the Metro. PDF of route here,

I think on Match days you can get a train directly from Piccadilly to OT.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

You should make it to OT on time, but I think you will need to ask Scotty to beam you to Piccadilly to make your return train ;) :D You might want to book a later train. :D

For the trains from Piccadilly, here is some info on who to contact about that.

---------- Post added at 12:59 ---------- Previous post was at 12:52 ----------

On the return journey, he will never make it on time to Piccadilly using the Metro. The best bet would be the train.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

By eck, when I used to go to Old Trafford in the late 60's early 70's we used to get a train from the Central Station direct to Old Trafford's own station, Central station is now the G Mex complex.

A lot of the local train services are supplanted by the Metrolink which runs direct from Piccadilly station to and beyond Old Trafford.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

Take it you are enjoying Young Mr Stokes playing for Falkirk, no shock to me that he's doing so well, always had an eye for goal since his days in the youth team.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

So what did he say then? Nothing has been reported yet.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

Loving it mate, the guys a genius, possibly the best player to pull on a Falkirk Shirt.

I do envy you having him.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

Sadly I think you have a great chance of keeping him, he seems to be enjoying it there, apparantly donated his money for young player of the month to falkirks academy as well, nice lad, but the wrong nationality to figure in Wenger's plans I think.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

Despite the fact that i would love that to happen, the general consensus up here is that he wants the Arsenal first team and that he has come here to prove himself.

As far as i know and as far as the rumours go he's here, definitely until Christmas, and possibly until the end of the Season.

Beyond that - who knows.

Regarding is award money, he did indeed donate it to the Falkirk youth Academy, a great gesture.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

Didn't look like that from all the news coverage... In fact it looked like Mr Wenger who used the F word first. Anyway old **** has previous, thats teh second manager he's wanted to fight, remember Big Jol?

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

Indeed. That wouldv'e been fun to watch. Whinger would've been snapped in two...

Come on you Spurs!!!!!!!!

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

What a great weekend for Fergie. 20 years at Man Utd. Could have scored 10 on Saturday. Chelsea, Arsenal, Bolton, Portsmouth all lost.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

Personally I think this will be Man U's year, at least in the Premiership. I cant see Chelsea outscoring them, and by the timne Arsenal find any consistency the gap wll be too great. There are still more points to be dropped, and I feel its Arsenal and Chelsea and Liverpool that will be dropping more than Man U.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

As long as Utd can avoid injuries. The depth in some areas is worringly thin.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

You could say the same with Chelsea tho, 2 out and out strikers (of which one is firing blanks), essien to play as a ceentre back as cover for Terry?, robben, cole, and SWP on the wings - one injury and thats that part of the park looking thin too.

I don't like Man U but I like arsenal even less, and as for liverpool, arrrggghhhh! If chelsea are gonna lose the title this season, i'd like them to lose it to Man U.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

I missed it, bloody work, however me old mum told me that it looked like Alan was almost in Wenger's face screaming yes when we scored, however as you say this win could have kept him in a job and Sven out of one so perhaps the celebration was justified after all.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

What I saw was Pardew jumping up and down (and justifiably so) and then going over to shake Wengers hand. After all the goal was scored in the 90th minute, so Im sre he thought its came over.

Wenger reacted by swearing(thats what it looked like on the footage).

Apparently Pardew offered him a drink after the game too, which Wenger declined. What a idiot, his attitude's one of the main reasons why I don't like Arsenal much nowadays.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

Kalou can play up front. Boulahrouz can play CB with Ferreira at RB.

Still better depth that Fletcher, O'Shea, Richardson!

Here is a video of it.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqx-w...elated&search=

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

I wonder why Alan is apologising then, if you look at the comments a couple even say he went into the away teams technical area and screamed in Wenger's face! For me the real shame is that instead of gaining confidence from a great win the club has yet more controversy to deal with.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...em/6119824.stm

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

I don't see why Alan should apologise at all. The man at fault is Wenger. At least when Mourinho moans we can have a laugh about it, but mr wenger really needs to grow up.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

What exactly does Wenger do wrong in that clip? I saw nothing from him other than him pushing Alan away when he walked right up to Wenger to get as close as possible whilst winding him up...

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

Agreed - Alan Pardew goes into the Arsenal management area.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

He wasn't in shot, that's why you couldn't see - he was berating Pardew for celebrating, which is then when Pardew walked up to him and asked 'What?!'

Whinger just topped it all off by refusing to shake hands after the match. He really is the most terrible sore loser and bad sport. His frustration should go to his very lack lustre team, not the opposing manager.... :rolleyes:

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

If it wasn't in shot how do you know?

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

I meant in that video clip.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

What i mean is that this is speculation surely, i didn't see Wegner do anything other than not shake hands at the end and ALAN going towards the Aresnal dug out acting like a 5 year old.

You couldn't see what Wegner was doing so how do you know he was berating Pardew?

As far as i can see from that clip the only thing you could say Wegner did wrong was push Alan away then refuse to shake his hand at the end, which based on the way Alan was acting seems reasonable to me.

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

I think you are right however given the importance of the match to us perhaps Wenger could have risen above it, as it probably wasn't meant personally, after all their action's are seen by millions of children

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

...but it is just speculation that Wenger didn't do anything as well, for the same reason, he wasn't in shot to see what he was doing.

The first thing that you can see was Pardew going "What?" in the direction of Wenger. Also, that clip on youtube didn't show all of it. The bit just where it cuts to an angle from behind the goal, Wenger actually goes to West Ham's technical area and tries again to have a go again...

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

Wengers Official Statement.........

"I was disgusted at the treatment we received at West Ham. Our players are used to playing in a quiet, respectful atmosphere in which we can discuss tactics, compare our nice gloves, and scream loudly to let the referee know we've been tackled and need a free kick.

The atmosphere at Upton Park was little short of hostile. The opposing fans sang, shouted and cheered in a manner we are not used to. Almost all of them stayed for the whole game, too. This was strange to us; it doesn't happen back at the Al Qaeda Stadium.

In addition, our bag man left the team's glove bag back at Gonforaburton Grove, meaning that many of our players were playing with cold hands, and some of them cried.

My dispute with Alan Pardew was over his comments following their goal. "Did you see that?" he shouted. This was insulting. He must know that I see NOTHING on the pitch, unless it is a poor decision against Arsenal. And I am NOT a 'Cheese Eating Surrender Monkey', whoever said that..."

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

Like that guy said off Catchphrase... Just say what you see :D

I haven't seen anything else other than that Youtube clip and can comment only on what i saw in that.

Orangebird said -

Its this that I question as i've not seen any video incriminating Wegner in this way.

Slightly OT, but Gordon Strachan did almost exactly the same thing up here after beating Hearts, nobody really batted an eyelid up here, its just part of the game IMO.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-93bk6de2s

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

Why would Pardew, at the start of the clip, be making gestures as to say "What?" in the direction of Wenger for then, if he did nothing?

Yes, it doesn't show that he did anything, but then it didn't show that he did nothing either.

If you saw it on tv, you saw Wenger push Pardew away, telling him to F... off and then trying to start it again after Pardew had gone back to his area.

Pardew was in his own area when he was celebrating. Hence him spitting his dummy out ;)

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

Apparently PArdew shouted out "Made in England" as part of his celebrations when Harwood scored. He was supposedly having a dig at Wenger's recent comments about the fact that there are not good enough english players to make his starting eleven, well thats what I just heard on the radio.

Wenger is just a little boy who cant take a beating.....

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

Grimsby have sacked Graham Rodger, apparently ;)

Re: Football Talk 2006/2007 Season
 

Well as an Arsenal fan (yes we are still here).

Before you all jump in making comments from the u tube video posted I suggest you watch the full footage before wading in.

Nevertheless after watching it live and watching it again I am ashamed, Wenger was a disgrace and should be brought up over this incident.

Pardew probably one of the most under pressure managers in the premiership who would have taken a point before the kick off was quite rightly elated and celebrated in his dug out area the scoring of the goal.

Credit where credit is due it was well worked goal through a sloppy back four of ours and the penalty clain aside we did not deserve to win that game nor the previous game for that matter.

If you cannot put the chances away they you can play like the best 11 in the world but it is all fruitless unless you put the ball in the back of the net.

Coming from Wenger a man who always insists on the handshake his actions were childish and his language and push and shove tactics were shameful - provoked or not a man in his position should know better.

Once again a lack lustre performance by the team and an appauling decision by the ref will fail into insiginifcance as this game will be remembered for Wengers actions both at the time of the incident and post match as well.

Big :tu: to Alan Pardew for apologising even though he had nothing to apologise for.

Big :td: to Arsene for not being man enough to admit he was wrong.

It pains me to say it but for once Jose Mourinho had the right idea after the Spurs game, man enough to face the press and made some worthy comments about the refs having to front up afterwards as well.

Whilst Wenger is a great manager on this occasion he was nothing more than a disgrace to the club and to hsi country and the saddening part is it will portray the game in a bad light to all the lip reading youngsters watching.

"Celtic manager Gordon Strachan was magnanimous in defeat after Falkirk knocked out the CIS Insurance Cup holders after a penalty shoot-out.

"First of all, well done to Falkirk," he said. "They went at it and made some chances and so did we. "It went to penalties and they did better than us, it was as simple as that, so well done to them."

Falkirk are only 4 points behind Hearts - you could still manage second this year.:D
