Highbury is going to be developed into luxury apartments etc. People started to queue this morning to put a deposit down to secure a flat. One idiot has stated that he wants to get the one situated exactly where the home team dugout is at present. What a wally, he won't be able to see anything from there.:D

Terrible draw, we wanted a home game and any team apart from bolton,charlton or west brom.

Away to bolton unlikely to go through and wont be a money spinner :(

Oh happy day. Shame Blackburn couldn't hold onto 2-2 at the Bridge. Lucky Man U have a nice, easy Premiership game to rebuild their shattered confidence next week...

Ferdinand's been subbed. What a waste of money, eh?

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

Yep, it could be 6 next week if united play in the same spirit.

£30 million yes I would agree, plus the reported £100k a week :mad:

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

Hey, don't be so down - it's only 4-1 now...

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

:D

I think about now, the crockery will be in mid air

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

From what I heard, only Ronaldo was any good, and he can't pass the ball to himself and was on the bench!

Mind you, earlier on Arsenal were rubbish till van Persie came on - maybe these rape allegations spur them on. He ought to be first choice at the moment, really.

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

I heard today that Ronaldo would not be considered due to the rape allegation plus the recent passing away of his father, but hey presto, there he is on the bench, yes he did make a difference when he came on.

Nistelrooy annoys me by wanting the ball on a plate all the time, hence the fact being thrown around now that all his goals for united have been inside the box.
Rooney's display was mediocre, but the lad cannot do it on his own.
No single person on the pitch was to blame, it was just a very bad team performance.

Arsenal seem to be picking up a bit since the return of Henry.
Van Persie is a good player with good individual skills, plus he has decent players around him which helps.

I am supposed to be going to OT on the 22nd of Nov to watch the Villareal game, at the moment, I am thinking of returning my tickets.

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

Still a lot of crocks about - Ljungberg's been injured again (only cramp apparently) and Sol and Henry have each been injured twice already. The results are tending to flatter the team slightly too, except the West Brom debacle.

Personally, I hope we can keep things tighter at the back with Sol back and give van P a run up front. We tend to come good after new year, but I sense things'll be done and dusted by then. Still, the Carling Cup looks good, home to Reading next round.

You need to keep an eye on Dave Kitson in that game ;)
