A shocking mistake from Ferdinand and a harsh penalty. I see another one of Arsenals great moves in selling Bentley

Unlike arsenal who won't even make the top 4? You think Henry is going to stay to play in the UEFA cup? Have fun filling your new stadium.
So much for Arsenals team sprit, one of your leaders subbed because of an "injury" and then storms out of the ground?

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
have to say i blame VDS for last night.. he should have put the free kick round the post and was too slow to react anyway
for the second goal he never comes off his line at any point this season so Rio thought he would be on the line.. VDS can see the whole play and can see Rio is about to play the ball.. how is Rio supposed to know VDS is coming for it unless he shouts out
for the third goal he should have tipped it round too
he gets beaten all the time is too slow and over the hill know.. not seen any of these 20 points a season he's meant to be saving us

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
For 7 years now we've been looking for Schmeichal's replacement and we've come nowhere near it. VDS could only have been a one-season stop gap so the search is still on.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
we've found him it's just that Fergie wouldn't buy him.. Paul Robinson is the answer.. i never liked the signing of VDS in the first plae and would rather have stuck with Howard.. having seen VDS at Fulham he never looked United quality
another chance to catch up on Chelsea goes begging and now it looks like Liverpool will get second
can't see anyone beating Chelsea to the title next season either
what do you make of the Mikel saga ?

I've got a feeling that kid was star-struck when United approached him and he willingly signed up but then found out that Chelsea were cleaning up in the UK and threw his toys out of his pram when he realised he was tied to United.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
i think what's happened is some agent has got hold of him and told him you can make more money here.. this place is better etc etc.. all the agent cares about is if he goes to Chelsea the agent will get more money... no one in this case from United.. to Chelsea to Lyn Oslo actuaklly care about the player and he's just being treated as a piece of meat
he's had his head turned by an agent and now wants to play for chelsea but they hever approached the club in Oslo and put in a bid or asked for permission to talk to the player.. Mikel has already said he has met Mourinho which is illegal under the current transfer rules..
can't really see him getting a game at Chelsea and he could end up for no career already at the age of 18 now
would be interesting to see when exactly he got an agent and when he employed him from.. i'm sure it's from after he signed for us

If you ask me FIFA will rule in favour of United and then United will cut their losses and sell him to Chelsea.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
i'd like to see that but then we aren't whiter than white in this as we signed him with only the player in the room and our lawyer.. Lyn Oslo are just as bad as they signed in pro at 18 and then sold him to us a few days later
would like to see Chelsea get fined but there is talk of them getting banned from signing players and docked points etc but really all they have done is the same thing everyone else is doing
if you are the manager and an agent rings you up and says do you want to talk to Rooney would you really say no i can't do that as the club haven't said i could..

I'd say that's probably the fairest thing to do.

Re: [Merged] The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
Glen Roader has taken charge with Shearer as his assistant
think they will end up with Sven in the summer so if they don't go down this season will get relegated next one instead
Football Manager the only job where you can get sacked for being rubbish and get a several million pound pay off

Not true. Look at any senior Ntl manager
(or in fairness any other senior manager in large companies)

Being a long suffering Newcastle fan I think with Souness we may have made relegation this season. We have played with no plan or cohesion as a team for over a year. hopefully the team can put a system together to at least get the best out of each other. As for this sven thing, huge amounts of passion from us the fans, and Mr icy! Gets in more bother than the players and we know all about that.
As for the VDS dilemma, the several combination used this season in defence by Sir Alex have all fell short of previous teams standards and do not help any of the keepers that Man U go through like hot cakes
Geordies for the cup
