Re: Football Season 2010/2011
Great result and display (especially first half) from Man City today :) To win 4-1 at Craven Cottage is a result for any team but the manner in which City played was the more pleasing. It looked like the players really wanted to prove something and they actually looked like a team, not just a group of expensive footballers!
Someone mentioned it in commentary and i think they may have a good point. Mancini realizes that the team aren`t quite ready to go toe to toe with the big guns in a footballing sense so opts for the difficult to beat approach in these games. Then against the lesser teams he plays a more expansive pressing game with the knowledge that the quality of the opposition is unlikely to cut them to pieces on the break. Maybe all the arguments and negative press that have been abundant in the press recently have made the squad stronger as a unit (obvious individuals not included). Hopefully this is the start of a run of form that will help secure a Champions League spot. :erm: Why did i just say that, i`ve been a City fan long enough to realize they never do things straightforward :rolleyes: |

Braga V Arsenal......
Sorry, but I have seen better games at Conference level. Arsenal, or more than likely Wenger has got it all wrong, I almost fell asleep. Edit: Braga have just gone 2 - 0 up, serves Arsenal right. |

I think Arsenal's time will come in a season or two. Overall it's a very young squad but the potential is definitely there and with a bit more experience they'll surely be up there challenging for the premiership title.

Re: Football Season 2010/2011
Strange match last night with Rangers v Utd in that Rangers played, in the first half at least, like a team who were playing away and not needing a win to keep qualification in their control. Sooo defensive, it was strange to watch.

I`m glad this is the "Entertainment" section because what i watched last night was some of the most exciting football iv`e seen in a long time :)
The way the Barcelona players have confidence in one another, they still pass them the ball on the deck even if they have 3 opposing players around them, the general level of technical ability and movement from front to back is frightening, if they carry on playing like that they will be exceptionally hard to beat in the Champions League. Messi is a phenomemon, Ronaldo just a petulant plonker :p: |

I was at the Arsenal game. It was cold. Very Cold. There was a match going on, a lot more snow and wind though. Did I mention it was cold!
Anyway. Draw is tomorrow night. I would rather avoid West Ham although I am confident over 2 legs and maybe facing them in the semis would be better. |

Re: Football Season 2010/2011
Why, why does Harry keep on choosing Crouch over Pav or Keane, he has only scored ONE goal in the premier league, l think that Bill Nicholson should come to WHL, and have a word in Harry's, Crouch if you don't start scoring in the PL, you should not keep strikers that can score goals out of the team.
|
Re: Football Season 2010/2011
Crouch isn't that bad. He's just not played to his strengths. He's constantly getting balls pinged at his head for to knock down to someone. When the ball is at his feet near the goal his scoring record is much like it is for England (21 in 41 and mainly small sub appearences)
I hate seeing the constantly long-ball-to-Crouch game but sadly nothing much we can do about that for now. BTW you do know he set up the goal today, don't you? |

Re: Football Season 2010/2011
TWO points state, One l know that there great Bill Nic is dead, BUT, under his realm, if a striker didn't score after so many games, they would be dropped, this for some unkown reason Harry wants to keep Crouch playing, and yet Pav is on the bench, doesn't make sense.
On the Hughton saga, this is typical of Ashley, he doesn't know what is good for him, the fans like him, but after the game at the weekend, Ashley felt he needed someone else, the only way back now is for toonfans to get back against Ashley, in the only way how - don't go to the game in protest. |
Re: Football Season 2010/2011
I think he has been wanting to do this for a while, however his results were decent enough to make it difficult. Winning 5 - 1 against Sunderland, winning away at Arsenal. Since then he has gone 5 games without a win, one of them a draw against Chelsea, but superficially the 5 game streak serves as a excuse for Ashley.
Shambles of a decision. I don't think it further needs saying how absurd this firing is. |

Either Liverpool are over-achieving and Hodgson-for-Ingerlund is doing a sterling job or the side that Senor Benitez left behind wasn't really that bad after all. Typically, according to some of our fine upstanding media organisations it's the former, extremely misguided opinion which seems to prevail having just thrown something hard and heavy at the radio. Please someone save us from the cretins on our tv and radio who masquerade as football journalists and failed manag.... I mean pundits.

The ref in the Spurs game was very bad, but arn't all European refs, The own goal that Twente gave us, it would have counted if Clattenberg was in charge.
To say that Spurs have had a hard group is no surprise to me, but we must learn from our mistakes, WE must have a good strike force and a defence, and this has been our downfall. Spurs are doing doing great, lets hope that Harry can keep the 'kick up ass job' as some of the team are not performing as if we were a good team. |

Are they much closer to his family in Argentina :confused: He goes on about respect from the manager while also complaining he is playing to much football.
