Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Jolly nice of those Gooner gentlemen to fail to beat the mighty Birmingham at home, thus allowing us to leapfrog them.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Did anyone see Nigel Pearson get interviewed? He's Howard Wilkinson mk 2...

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Amazing....

Liverpool reveal Klinsmann talks

I am sure Benitez will be over the moon to hear this news, surely it will only be a matter of time before Benitez walks out on Liverpool ?
Maybe it's the idea behind the revelation though ?

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Reports today suggest the Toon are after Swansea's Roberto Martinez as manager. They can shove off, too.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

It looks like Keegan may have saved the day for Swansea, or has he ?

Never mind Russ,the beauty of the FA Cup and all that...

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Actually I don't mind too much - it's the FA Cup. As odd as that sounds, it's the place where bigger clubs get knocked out by lower league sides. Oh and also where cheating players can get sent off in matches and still take part in the replay.

Still, Martinez has done an excellent job - 3 points clear at the top of Division One isn't so bad, can't wait for the Championship next season :)

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Just looking at the stats from last nights Man City game, one shot on target. Depending on which set of figures you read it appears that our illustrious neighbours have managed less than ten shots on target in their last four games in total.:rolleyes: I think United had at least 15 on target in the one game against Newcastle, no wonder the stands at Man City were half empty last night.:p:

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Such a deafening silence from the Emirates representatives....

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Scotland are nicking our manager.. :(

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...ls/7203463.stm

And we have all those millions to spend on players... :erm:

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Its great to watch games like that as a 'neutral' supporter ;):), Arsenal second team well stuffed, but just a minute, Sagna, Gallas, Traore, Fabregas, Hleb, Adeybayor, Eduardo, Gilberto, it was most of the 1st team, oh dear.:D

Jim.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

If we can track him down, I wonder what our resident fairweather Arsenal supporter will have to say about this.

Never mind, we'll ask him the next time they win :D

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Gonna be funny in work tomorrow as it's mostly Gooners and Spurs fans in my dept, can feel a bit of friendly banter coming on ;) :D :D

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

at least your fella will be in a good mood :)

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

He is Gaz, not often he gets to celebrate footie wise bless him

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Fan-blooooooooooooooooooooody-tastic...

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Just seen the Arseole Winge'r interview, I cannot believe he said that the score didn't reflect the game, damn right, it should have been 8-2 and Adeybayor should have been sent off.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

This was the best part of the night - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...al/7204144.stm

Fighting amongst themselves now it seems :)

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Those scallywag Scots have nicked our Manager... :bigcry:

Looks like we might end up with Hoddle back... :bigcry::bigcry::mad:

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

I thought Hoddle did alright when he was there?

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Van der Sar set for Spurs

http://www.manutd.com/default.sps?pa...&newsid=526190

Well, it had me going for a minute :o:

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Yeah, but he didn't exactly endear himself to the fans when he jumped ship for Spurs after 15 months...

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

If it were any other club, i'd understand, but Hoddle's to Spurs as Le Tissier is to Soton. I don't think they should be too hard on him.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

C'mon Havant & Waterlooville, give em' a scare :)

Plus, I think Spurs will get a result tomorrow at Old Trafford, I just have this nagging feeling, hopefully I will be wrong.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Of to watch the Latics today, a nice bit of local derby, Lancs v Yorks rivalry.:D

Jim.

---------- Post added at 13:08 ---------- Previous post was at 13:07 ----------

Well they will certainly get a result, wether or not it is the one they want is another matter.;)

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Liverpool 0 - 1 Havant & Waterlooville !!! :D

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

:rofl::rofl:

Bye Bye Rafa :D

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Listening to the commentary, sounds like Havant are all over them. This would be the best result if Havant win. :p::p::p: (Fingers Crossed) ;)

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Nice whilst it lasted. 1-1 now

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

2-1 to Havant now :D:D:D:D:D

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

My word Havant & Waterlooville are 2-1 up now :D :D

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Hmm

Defiant boss Arsene Wenger insists the match stats prove Arsenal were the better side in Tuesday's humiliating 5-1 Carling Cup semi-final thrashing by arch-rivals Tottenham. (Daily Mirror)

Mind you when England beat Germany 5-1 they had more shots and more possession so :shrug: guess you can put a positive spin on anything, except the actual score line

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

You can't just go by match stats. A shot on target could be a shoot that rolls along the ground straight at the goalkeeper, not really a chance is it? You need to convert the chances which they didn't.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Yes but this is 'arsenal logic', that strange phenomena where despite overwhelming facts to the contrary, their team and supporters continue to labour under the delusion their team is the best in the land.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Yesterday I overheard an Arsenal fan talking to a Spurs fan, whereby the Arsenal fan said "You should be ok on Sunday, if you can beat Arsenal, you can beat anybody"

Oh the arrogance !!!!

Oh and a brilliant effort by Havant & Waterlooville today.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Anyone know why Spurs played in yellow today?

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Matches the streak down their backs :shrug:

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

and the universe where Venger can't see two team mates fighting but can "see" the slightest hint of a foul on his players from 100 yards away

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

A bit disappointed at the result at Boundary Park yesterday, :(

Cheered up today with the Man United result, felt even better after the Man City game.:D

Did anyone else see that tackle by Robert Huth on Saturday, can't find a vid of it yet.

It wasn't really 'over the ball', it was over all three of them, serious GBH in my book. Sad thing is he got a yellow so according to the rules he can't be punished further.

Jim.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

United v the Gooners, Should be a good game :D

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

And hopefully Arsenal will win bugger all again this season!

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

What, and keep BBking out of this thread for another 12 months? That's not fair :D ;)

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

What a screamer of a free kick, better than Roberto Carlos IMHO.:cool:
genius

It was even better than that one against Pompey, this time James never moved.

Jim.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

This is Man City's new badge after being knocked out the cup by a balloon :D :D

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Speaking of absent friends, whatever happened to Tiga Sefi.:rolleyes: :D

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Kevin Keegan confirms Dennis Wise as his No: 2. :D

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

and again Manure has a lucky escape at Spurs... bugger

ow well at least we are on top again :) with 2 points spare :D

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

So very close, was all ready to see BBking posting back in here again :)

And don't worry about those 2 points, you'll lose them soon enough :) :)

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

It's strange how you didn't post in this thread at all when you weren't top ;)


It was Van Der Saar that caused havoc by going up for the corner that got us the goal :) A goal we probably didn't deserve even though Spurs goal had a hand ball in it ;)

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

What's the betting there's 10 minutes injury time at Old Trafford? :D

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Truly a shocking game. SAF needs to retire the old guard. Preferably before the end of the game.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

First double for nearly 40 years...

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

City deserved it, United played ****, every single player was ****, none of them deserved to play in that red shirt today.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Have to agree, they were shocking :erm: Good win for City today, they deserve the points (nearly kills me to say that though :cry: )

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Not one of them players deserved to wear the red of United today. SAF should of bought another striker in January. I mean Saha has had more sick notes than Darren Anderton. Ship him out and go buy another decent striker who doesn't get injured every other week. Oh and let Wes Brown go in the summer, he's about as useful as an ash tray on a motorbike anyway.

Nani again was poor. I would of played Carrick and Hargreaves from the start.

Disgusted.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Anyway, thank you to the City fans who respected the minute's silence today...

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Aye, fair play to them. Well respected indeed.

BTW, what's with your sig Mal? I'm originally from Burnley and I don't quite follow! :confused::confused::confused::confused:

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

On the Joy Division live CD "Preston 28 February 1980", a woman comes over the tannoy saying that, I presume because they were running late...I thought that it was funny...

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

It's an announcement during a Joy Division gig at The Warehouse Preston on 28th February 1980...

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

thank you to City for ruining the chances of Manure to win the league this season :D gonna be at least 3 points clear tomorrow if not 5 :D :D :D

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Counting chickens? Don't worry, Arsenal have plenty of time to drop enough points ;)

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

I think your forgetting you still need to come to Old trafford, it's not remotely over yet ;)

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

It looked as though United had been made to play in 1950's boots aswell as the strip.:rolleyes:

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Cheers for cleatring that up. :D

@Dutchie - Arsenal won't get a result tonight. I think Rovers will beat them.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

yeah yeah cerby :)

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Dutchie mate, if Arsenal beat Blackburn this evening, I will retire from knifing on CoD4 for good.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

can we have that in writing please :D

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

I think that printed text is a written form enough.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Like that'll bother them, I'd like to play you guys every week, we'd be top of the league

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

well 2-0 :) :D when is the Manure game?

cuz it would be SOOO nice to claim the title again at Old Trafford :D

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Okay, playing the Champions away won't bother them then :rolleyes:

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Don't seem to bother us :p:

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

I think you'll find our record against you at old trafford is very good, barring last season when we let you win so you could stay up ;)

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

3 wins 0 draws 0 defeats, end of

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Oh, we were only talking about the last 3 games, okay then :)


Back to my point, Arsenal still have to play United away, Chelsea away, Liverpool, Villa and Everton, so i wouldn't start celebrating just yet.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Don't forget Saturday....
Manchester Utd v Arsenal FA Cup 5th Round BBC1 (17:15-19:30)

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Recent history old chap, I am sure we could trawl back through the decades to when Scholes and Giggsy were young(er) and when Gary Neville was a glint up Beckhams backside but it don't seem relevant some how

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Well, what a pathetic display!

Rovers deserved the win, the pitch was carp but so were we... :(

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

I do so wish Tiga Sefi was still posting in this forum.:D

The scousers didn't want a replay, they got their wish. :p::D

Jim.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Liverpool 1 - 2 Barnsley :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

:waving:LMFAO a league 1 team beats the scouse :D :D :D :D :D

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Only half time, and to be honest Arsenal are missing a few decent players.

The ones United left out aren't up to much TBH, Ronaldo, Tevez, Hargreaves, Giggs, Scholes.:D

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

They're championship.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

totally bad day for Arsenal.... ow well.... it happens

nice 1 manure

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Should have been 8 or 9 at least, Uniteds finishing today was shocking,;)

That dive from Addebayor was worthy of a straight red it was that bad, and United played with ten men from the start to give you a chance, there must be a back hander from somewhere to make Fergie play Park, he is useless.:(

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

What a day, the scousers lose then United thrash the dirty gooners :D :D

He has only just come back from a year out injured, i think he deserves a chance.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

He was rubbish even before he got injured, runs around a lot, absolutely no touch on the ball, completely bottles almost every chance he gets, sorry but he is just no up to snuff for United.

Jim.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Good to see the Holes getting petulant in the second half when losing ;) :D

Did Adebayour receive an electric shock just before he got booked? ;)

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

I have just one thing to say.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaa!! :rofl:

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Full draw for FA Cup quarter-finals:

Sheffield United or Middlesbrough v Cardiff City
Manchester United v Portsmouth
Bristol Rovers v West Brom
Barnsley v Chelsea

Matches to be played on the weekend of 8 and 9 March.

Another premiership team for United, i can see a repeat of last years final coming.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

so that makes 11 prem teams in a row for us. Another easy draw for Chelsea too

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Could be worse, you could be drawn against York City :)

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Anyone see Eduardo brake his leg in the 2nd minute of the Birmingham v Arsenal game - all i can say is ouch!

Sky sports wont show the replay though :(

---------- Post added at 14:59 ---------- Previous post was at 13:06 ----------

Seems like it affected them, only managed a 2-2 draw against Birmingham :)

Here's the leg break, not for the sqeemish! -

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

My god that looks bad!!! :shocked:

Kind of reminds me when Henrik Larsson did the same playing for Celtic.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Nice of Arsenal to drop a few points for us :)

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

:sick:

No tap dancing for him for a while then.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

I don't like Liverpool, bloody idiotic players of theirs hitting one of ours for no reason, ours hit him back and got a red card.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

How funny was Gallas losing the plot at the end of the Birmingham game :D

Seems he's gone as mental as Gazza :D

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Good result for Spurs, by far the better team over 120 minutes, a pity the ref went yellow card crazy at the end though, still it was nice to see Diddling Dogbreath losing it after the final whistle.:D

The tortoise should have started with J Cole, Anelka was useless and Terry and Lampard seemed jaded.

Jim.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

well we still doing well in 3rd place . will it last ??????
