Football Season 05/06

[Eddage]

Thought I'd start up another Football season 05/06 thread (the third one hence the Mk. III :heh: )...

Gutted about the news that Heinze could be out for the rest of the season with cruciate knee ligaments, he is arguably United's best defender, also pissed off with Wayne Ronney for an insanely riduculous sending off, he apparently swore at the ref as well as mocking him!

Oh well, at least Arsenal are playing rubbish football :grin:

[Ramar]

I was pleased Rooney got sent off because he is a fat t**t, and I hate him. I think Sven should drop purely because he is an idiot.

Arsenal got 3 points in the Champions League, which is good news, regardless of how well we played. Chelsea have played crap in games this season and got a win and been applauded for it, so I reckon Arsenal regardless of whether it should have been an easy win should be applauded for winning while playing rubbish.

Went to see Watford vs Norwich the other day, great game, Watford won. 3rd in the league when everyone said they'd get relagated, come on you 'orns!

[Piranha]

Yeah I didn't think Heinze's injury was gonna be that bad at first. Not sure who'll come in for him, O'Shea is already at right-back covering for Neville, so my guess is Richardson.

Any predictions for Sundays game against Liverpool? I've got a feeling it might be 2-1 (to United of course!) Rooney to get at least one

[Sexual Chocolate]

Big game Liverpool v Manure (ho ho ho) on sunday, Liverpool are gonna pack the midfield and hopes for a fluky goal.

[Surrealist]

Spurs for Europe! Woo!

[Fierce_LiNk]

Nooooo! Heinze better not be out for the rest of the season! He is my favourite defender at the club, and i just love watching him. He's having it rough at united, in terms of injuries. This just isn't fair on him. :sad:

[Joethesmoe]

Van Persie is only getting a 1 match ban! (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/a/arsenal/4254124.stm)
He kicks a player in the face, so he needs stiches around both eyes, and Rooney claps and gets a 3 game ban! Where's the logic in that?
I do think Wayne deserved to get sent off, but it's been totally blown out of proportion.
And Gabby's injury is very bad news :hmm:
Hopefully Richardson, and then Fortune/O'shea can do half decent there..

Edit: Fierce_Link, I'm pretty sure Heinze has been amazingly fit for us since he's signed. He's played pretty much every game, and has played in the south american tourney, whatever it's called.. each pre season for argentina. He might have done too much really..

[Din]

Rooney needs to learn. He can't keep having stupid tantrums like that just because things aren't going his way.

I'm going to Blackburn on Sunday to watch the Toon. I can see Bellamy scoring past us! Hope not though!! 1-2 to Newcastle:yes:

[Piranha]

yeah Heinze did his cruciate ligament.
Why is Van Persie only getting a 1 match ban? I thought it was 3 matches for a straight red, and just one for two yellows

[Babooo]

Being a gooner myself, I gotta admit that arsenal haven't been playing their best. And with the news of Henry being out for 6 weeks, doesn't look good for us.

BUT, I don't think we're gonna be struggling that much. As soon as we string a couple of wins together and raise the team spirit and confidence, we'll be fine. The people moaning about arsenal's recent performances probably only supported us cos of our unbeaten run and now that we are in a bit of trouble, they fear the worst.

[Ramar]

Van Persie's challenge was clearly un-intentional, he is watching the ball all the time. Rooney on the other hand was being a sarcastic idiot, you don't argue with the ref, you don't swear at or mock the ref. He deserves the ban.

[Fierce_LiNk]

Van Persie is only getting a 1 match ban! (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/a/arsenal/4254124.stm)

My post was in reference to the FA Cup final, which he missed because of a nasty injury (it was the final, wasnt it?)
And now, he's looking to be missing the rest of the season. So, when i say he had it bad, i meant for 2 reasons:
1. The fa cup final, which would've been his final with united, and because it was a massive game.
2. United are in-form this season, and he's one of our best players. We are going for an assault on the title, and we might not have him playing. :(

Although, i do believe he has worked himself hard. He plays in so many internationals. I do feel really gutted for him. :sad:

[Surrealist]

Well Mido's sending off sucked the most, Damn you Rob Styles, DAMN YOU! He was protecting Del horno, not attacking him you ass! ASS!

*spleen vented*

I prefer the Skysports prediction for the Spurs game, 2-1 to us. So I'll take that.

[GoonFace]

I am quite confident we can thrash Everton. I mean they just lost 5-1!

[Hank Scorpio]

I'm going to Blackburn on Sunday to watch the Toon. I can see Bellamy scoring past us! Hope not though!! 1-2 to Newcastle:yes:

Let's hope so, then we can all laugh heartily at graeme souness some more :hehe:

Oh, also, Celtic play Hibs on sunday, and my tickets have not yet arrived, one more day of hoping they arrive in the post :hmm:

[Surrealist]

Newcastle had better win, I really like their team. Luque's injury sucks, but I have to say that I could never get tired of watching Steven Taylor twatting himself on the post :hehe:

[Din]

Oww! That looked very painful didn't it! It's a shame because we have alot of injuries at the moment. When everyone is fit and ready I think we will be a good team.

I hope West Brom stuff the mackems :grin:

You've gotta laugh at Everton. They were going for the Champions League but ended up in the UEFA cup and now it looks like their out of that. HA.

[Platty]

newcastle are going down this season :P

[Happenstance]

I think Liverpool have got a good chance of winning on Sunday. Only problem is that we still seem to have trouble playing well in the Premiership and tend to do well in Europe, we need to get both.

[Eddage]

I reckon United will be fired up after a dissapointing 0-0 draw on Wednesday and really take the game to Liverpool, I suppose if United can't grab a goal then Liverpool might knick one on the counter attack but other than that I can't see anything but a United win, 2-0 for me.

[antster1983]

Sorry, too busy as a Wigan Athletic fan to care about the trials and tribulations of the big clubs in the Premiership :wink:

Paul Jewell spoke out today saying a lot of Premiership clubs are too busy churning out boring draws in matches because they're scared of getting relegated and losing a lot of money. I say let these primadonnas play in the Conference! Give them a good scrap - I bet a lot of those players like Wayne Rooney and Jermaine Defoe wouldn't last five minutes before they're in A&E!

My favourite Latics player is Jason Roberts - a high-profile striker with a decent strike rate, but also the Latics spokesman for Kick Racism Out Of Football and for the environment.

Everybody... [to the tune of Pigbag] #duh-duh-duduh .... JASON ROBERTS duh-duh-duduh...#

[Fierce_LiNk]

Am watching the Villa vs. Spurs match. Villa are 1-0 up within 5 mins thanks to Milner. They could have been 2 up, but the keeper saved well. Villa are dominating.

[GoonFace]

Charlton 0-2 Chelsea
Fulham 1-2 West Ham
Portsmouth 1-1 Birmingham
Sunderland 1-1 West Brom
Anyone feeling sorry for Sunderland? They were seconds away from their first win since December 2002. The other promoted teams seem to have adjusted to the Premiership better, especially West Ham, who picked up another 3 points today.

[DS MaNiAc]

Why do all of our (Newcastles) players getting Hamstring injuries? WTF is up with the medical staff.

Anyway we better beat those tw@s at Blackburn, otherwise Souness can pi$$ off.

[Eddage]

Anyone feeling sorry for Sunderland?

Not really I want Sunderland to go back down, whereas I definately think West Ham should stay up. As for Wigan, well it would be nice seeing as they weren't even playing league football 10 years ago, although I could have just picked this fact straight out of the 'fantasy world of pixies and magical farie dust' part of my brain (which is actually the whole of it!) so don't bash me if it's wrong :heh:

try 22 and west ham where shit last season, sunderland finished above wigan, so much you know about football, pfft all u do i watch the premiership, you are fucking pathetic.

Whoa, chill. Less of that, please.
Anyway, what he said was actually ok. If he had said 22 years, and the correct answer was 10, then it would have been wrong what he said. But, they weren't playing 22 years ago, which meant that they definitely weren't playing 10 years ago...so what's the problem with what he said?
And where did he say that sunderland didn't finish above wigan?

[Eddage]

try 22 and west ham where shit last season, sunderland finished above wigan, so much you know about football, pfft all u do i watch the premiership, you are fucking pathetic.

Well this has me taken aback a little...

So they were in the third division 10 years ago, it's still a bloody fantastic acheivement! I didn't once say Wigan finished above Sunderland last season or mention West Hams form from last season, all I said is that I would prefer West Ham to stay up over Sunderland, is there really any crime in that? :hmm:

Oh and cheers for sticking up for me Fierce, from one United fan to another!

PS: After a little look I have discovered that Wigans first League season was in fact in 1978/79 when they joined division 4 (todays division 2) from the Northern Premier League, so that would be 27 years ago, oh I'm sorry it looks like you were wrong as well

Why did you quote the first thing I said about Wigan again, I've already admitted to being wrong as was your figure of 22

i didnt make a mistake, i was thinking if you would actually look up the facts about wigan.

and if you think im being harsh, never go on bbc 606 site, please.

[Fierce_LiNk]

Alright, i think enough has been said on this. Moving on..

Did anyone think Villa were slightly robbed today? They were dominating for most of the match, and yet didn't win. Although, they did fail to convert so many chances. :hmm:

[cheets]

no, i wondering if to wake up for the liverpool man u game, my money is on a boring 0-0

[Fierce_LiNk]

No I thought a draw was a fair result, Tottenham missed a penalty and had several good chances of there own. In fact once Robbie Keane came on it was all Tottenham for the last 30 mins. Not sure if it finished as this but towards the end both sides had 13 shots on goal and both had 5 on target.

[cheets]

i must admit robbie keane goal was awesome, that first touch roll over, the the jink and the shot

GOAL

[DS MaNiAc]

This isn't a Newcastle game. :wink:
Yeah, cos then the away fans would actually chant :wink:

Good points there!

Newcastle had better win, I really like their team. Luque's injury sucks, but I have to say that I could never get tired of watching Steven Taylor twatting himself on the post :hehe:
Ah, that was no where near as good as him being shot last season, after he'd hand balled it in the area. That was hilarious.

Anywho, I'm predicting 2-0 to us, or 2-0 to Liverpool. I'm thinking we'll either get our act together, and they'll fall apart, or the other way round :heh:
Liverpool's goals were great on tuesday by the by. Garcia's was amazingly slick. They play so nicely on their day.

[JonSt]

This thread just for The premiership?, What about the greatest league in britain, the spl.

[Happenstance]

Just watched the 1st half of Liverpool Vs Man U. Even though its still 0-0 id say Liverpool are playing better. Im not just saying that as a Liverpool fan either as I can always admit when other teams played better.

[Fierce_LiNk]

Just watched the Liverpool/United game, and it was pretty average really. Liverpool did play better, but it did seem that both teams were lacking something.
I think it was down to the tactics, personally. Both teams were probably worried about conceeding going into the game, so they paid more emphasis on defence. So, it was a tale of two defences, really. Still, good performances by some players. :)

Watching the Blackburn/Newcastle game now. Blackburn are very much on top for the first half, and i'm backing them to win.

Yeah, cos then the away fans would actually chant

Haha, yeah. Man United fans have always been accused of making so little noise. A bit of a shame, because if i was there, i'd saviour the moment and just make some noise! :heh:

This thread just for The premiership?, What about the greatest league in britain, the spl.

Noo. That's why it says Football season, and not "premier league" at the top. It's just football in general for this season. :)

Yeah it was a bit of a disapointing game. One of my main problems was Benitez's choices in substitutions. Traore should never be allowed to play professional football, Sissoku is a good player usually but I dont think Pongolle needed to come off as he was playing quite well. The one player that should have been taken off was Garcia. Id say probably only 10% of his passes made it to Liverpool players in that match!

I feel a little bit disappointed as well. I think Fergie chose to bring on his subs too late, so they made very little difference. He messed up there, imo.

Watching the blackburn game. 2-0 to Newcastle. It's very undeserved imo, as Blackburn have been by far the better side.

Norwich City beat the Tractor boys 1-0. Good result for them, I hope they get their arses into gear now and get up the top of the table where they belong.

[Sexual Chocolate]

The problem with Liverpool is negativity, playing the Italian way, play for a draw but if we can get a win, great.

Omg0Dz we kept a kl33n sh33t OMG

3-0, to the geordie boys, 3-0, to the geordie boys 3-0....

Who let the zog out? Who, Who, Who, Who?

HEEEEEEEEEYYYYY HEY SHEARER, OOH-AHH, I WANNA KNOOOOOOOOW OH OH HOW YOU SCORED THAT GOAL!

OOOOOOWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNN

Get in! 3-0, and what a bloody goal by Shearer, the press were sharpening their knives, and then Shearer tells them were to stick it!

Blackburn got Michael 'Owend'

I could understand this kind of celebration if you had just won the league. But you only won a match against a team that are relegation candidates. Quite frankly Newcastle with the personel they have should easily beat Blackburn.

Congrats for getting your first 3 points though.

[Din]

Woohoo! Just got back from Blackburn about hour and a half ago! What a second half! So happy to finally get our first win of the season and it was nice to see Shearer and Owen scoring (how good does that sound!). Our support today was brilliant! I'm drunk...been drinking since 8am!

:yes:

[Surrealist]

Pretty happy, even though I support Spurs, I really like Newcastle, happy to see them finally win. Now to wait for Luque to get back...

[DS MaNiAc]

And Nobby Solano. And Emre. And loads more.

And Nobby Solano. And Emre. And loads more.
Everyone was singing Nobby Solano's name today. Can't wait for him to play!

[Eddage]

Gutted about the United score, think we've definately got enough quality to beat Liverpool, spose I will have to watch MOTD 2 tonight to see if it really was down to negative tactics (but the way this season has been going I'm sure it is!)

[Hank Scorpio]

This thread just for The premiership?, What about the greatest league in britain, the spl.

I've been plowing a lone furrow for the SPL, so feel free to help.

Celtic won 1-0 at hibs, we pretty much ran all over them in the first half, but were fairly poor in the second.

So back to 5 points behind Hearts, who play rangers next week, so hopefully they keep their winning streak going for one more game.

[harribo]

Norwich City beat the Tractor boys 1-0. Good result for them, I hope they get their arses into gear now and get up the top of the table where they belong.

NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOO theywere meant to lose by 2 goals so we werent bottom of the table.

Meh Wednesday had quite a celebration when we got our first win of the season against leeds on Tuesday.

And Nobby Solano. And Emre. And loads more.

Weve prob got more injurys.

[Sexual Chocolate]

Meanwhile over in Spain, Real Madrid lost to Espanyol for the 3rd match this week :D also Barca lost aswell :doh: and juventus are flying high.

[JonSt]

About the barca game, great to see the legend fit again after injury. Henrik Larsson is a god.

[antster1983]

Heh. Nice of Cheets and Twilight for speaking up about Latics :) How about that 1-1 draw against Middlesbrough? Sounds like a better match than the snoozefest of the Man Utd - Liverpool goalless "Oh We're So Scared Of Losing" match.

Wigan Athletic were formed in 1932, but it was indeed 1978 when they were admitted into the Football League, at the expense of Southport.

[Roostophe]

first off: 1-1, we had a lot of chances in the first half. All I can say is I hope Robinson has form like that for England, secondly, Milner scored, yes yes oh yay. Thirdly, that was a brilliant goal by Robbie Keane, finally, Baros is showing a lot of potential, he set up Milner's goal.

Blues drew with Portsmouth, Nicky Butt: Tw*t.

[GoonFace]

2-0! Two great headers from Campbell and he could have got his hat trick. Our second highest scorers and now Cygan and Campbell lol

wigan won
grimsby won big guns in next round as they all have fancy pants european football

ALSO[/B]

Liverpool's game with Manchester United has been held up as 'Exhibit A' in the current rush to put the Premiership on trial for being boring.

It was the most high-profile game of the weekend - and the worst.

i love being correct

[Ramar]

The only thing that makes me even consider the Premier League boring is that the title race is always down to a select group. Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool.

Ticket prices are the reason fans stay away. Last time I went to Highbury it cost my brother £102 for two tickets in the North Bank, ok we could have payed less for other stands, but you always want the best seat. Compare the £51 paid for Arsenal, to the £12 I paid to see Watford vs Norwich the other day and you can see why the fans stay away.

[Sexual Chocolate]

Chelsea should be Exhibit A, they have been nothing but long ball specialists since last season, boring, boring.

[Noodleman]

Chelsea should be Exhibit A, they have been nothing but long ball specialists since last season, boring, boring.

At the moment there playing rubbish but still winning 2-0 when they actauly find some form its going to be scary imo.

[DS MaNiAc]

I went to the Cheltenham vs Mackems match and sat in the away end, was great fun, towards the end we were chanting: "SHEARER! SHEARER! SHEARER!". But they lost in the end :(

All for only £5 aswell, I got tickets for the away end on the night at the box office :P I said: " Two for the away stand please" and the woman replys: "Are you an away fan?" I say "aye!" She gives me a strange look before shouting over to someone if they had any tickets for the away end, the man gave them to her and I handed over the tenner!

[the_villa]

villa won 8-3 in the carling cup

[Roostophe]

*Looks up at last poster's name* :eer:

I'm pleased with Villa's result, we were 3-1 down at Half Time. Milner's first goal was beautiful.

Manchester City lost to Doncaster Rovers 3-0 on penalties. They made a right dog's dinner of it didn't they? old Mancunian Blue.

[the_villa]

also tottenham losing 1-0 to grimsby

Chelsea vs Villa tomorrow. Should be a one sided game. http://darkzero.co.uk/forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif

the sun newspaper are gonna pay a reward of £10,000 to the first player to score a goal against chelsea.

they are inforcing a no bore factor as no one has scored against chelsea since van nistlerooy in may when utd lost 3-1

Attack Attack Attack!

[cheets]

villa will draw with chelsea tomorrow

[Platty]

yeah probably 0-0

come on get a goal baros you punk

[cheets]

i said a boring 0-0 for pool and man u, and i was spot on
i just think chelsea have been abit poor and villa kinda are quite fun to watch, they always have, i just think villa get an early goal, sit back and chelsea will struggle for a 1 goaler, 1-1

[Platty]

i think west ham are gonna give the arse a good game. Arsenal have quite a few players out injured and west ham are playing some good attacking football so far this season, should be a good game to watch.

[cheets]

na, west ham will lose

[Platty]

i didnt say they would win i said they would give them a good game.

I'm no perfect fan. But come on. You live in Machester and you're a Chelsea fan, please tell me you didn't jump on the winning bandwagon. :bah:

My two teams drew 0-0. Ah well.

[harribo]

[Hank Scorpio]

But won in the end, so woot indeed. Dance to the Beat(tie)!

Hearts are still 5 points clear of Celtic, and 11 clear of rangers who are in 5th. All in all not too bad a day

[Tony_Montana]

nice to see some football fans here! :) Looks like Chelsea is easily going to win the EPL again.

La liga on the other hand is getting interesting, no club has raced away with anything yet.

^^ my real madrid needs this guy back, he's injured for 1 or 2 more weeks.

Champions League is on this Tuesday and Wednesday! (going to my local restaurant/pub at my university and watch it, I never knew so many football fans existed in Canada!)

The bold clubs are the ones I think will win.

Ajax beat us, you're having a giraffe! We beat them 1-0 in a friendly and we played mostly kids. If Bergkamp is fit and travels, we'll win 2-0.

I really want Liverpool to beat Chelsea. Chelsea just piss me off now, and there ever growing fan base.

[Tony_Montana]

Alaves 0 - Madrid 3 :)

ronaldo X 2
guti

a question: are we allowed to post goals and vids here or not?

[the_villa]

not sure about that

[Ramar]

Suppose you could post links, as long as they aren't illegal.

Talking of Real Madrid, what a poo start of the season for them. My Spanish team on the other hand, Valencia, are doing quite well.

[mike-zim]

well for all those who doubt liverpool i laugh in your face. i think liverpool will finish second this season man u 3rd and arsenal 4th. chelsea will win it again but i think we will start to see some cracks when teams learn how to play against them. liverpool showed that they know how and were denied the win by the ref.

[Cheapshot]

The Premiership has become rather dull with Chelsea around.

Bet's on who will beat them first anyone? If anyone beats them at all... :(

I'm going for Liverpool.

[Ramar]

Man City... They did it last year, and it would be great, because this time they would have the last laugh, and Mr MoneyGrabber Wright-Philips would be mocked.

[uncle_buckman]

I'm going for Liverpool.

Same. Who wouldn't agree after Wednesday's perfomance.

[kav82]

I wouldn't agree after 80mins of todays match! come on lads!!!!!!

3-1, lets try get a 4th!!!

edit: the minute i post we score a 4th! COME ON!!!

[Monopolyman]

Holy shit, we just got hammered. Liverpool are in a bit of a slump in the premiership now (something like 6 draws and 1 win or something), and really need to get out of it. :mad:

On the brightside, at least its only our 1st loss of the season, and we can always show Chelsea up in a few weeks at the champions league.

[Space]

I'm so glad Chelsea stuffed Liverpool after all the rubbish they have been saying.

Scared? Yeah right.

Chelsea: 8 matches played, 1st in the league, maximum of 24 points.
Liverpool: 6 matches played, 13th, the only upside for them is that Everton are bottom.

Chelsea can play much better better than they did today. We were quite average. Terry was MotM me for, exceptional performance that held the team together.

[|Laguna|]

Drogba had a really really good match for Chelsea. Involved in all 4 goals and did some wonderful skill to get round Hypia. Don't get me wrong, I hate the guy (shouting at his own fans, fool) and his tatty hair but I knew he couldn't be as bad as he has performed for the phenomenal amount of money Chelsea paid for him. 24mil?

[the_villa]

not long until the England game

[the_villa]

And we need to win this one

[dazzybee]

Liverpool are average (for them), I'm sorry but benitez is a joke and your squad is very average, you have some great players in your first team, but some donkeys - courch :D, Garcia :D I could go on. But I think you will stuggle to finish in the champions league again.

I'm a Yiddo (Spurs) and I think we'll push you for 4th this year, we're playing pretty averagely (but still getting the results) but we have a lot of new players and when we click we'll be awesome. I think Arsenal could struggle this year, we; struggle to get third, not just because I hate them (which i do) but because they don't look the same without Veira and especially not the same without Henry!! Very lucky against Brum at the weekend.

I really hope man U can catch Chelsea (who I also hate with an unbridled passion), but I can't see it. Think we would have beat them if the ref didn't ridiculously sendoff mido, we were having the upper hand beofre that!! :(

[kav82]

...Think we would have beat them if the ref didn't ridiculously sendoff mido, we were having the upper hand beofre that!! :(

I agree you were having most of the possession but come on, beat us?! :indeed:

it's hard to see it at Three Point Lane (oops, ha ha, i meant White Hart), never mind the Bridge!!! :kiss:

Any Celtic out there how do you rate this keeper as according to rumour
Arsene Wenger is ready to table a bid for Celtic keeper Artur Boruc when he becomes available at the end of the season. (Daily Mirror)

Another controversial rumour is that Ronaldinho has told Barcelona chiefs the club needs Chelsea's Frank Lampard to win the Champions League. (The Sun)

Can't see ole Frank going anywere, more like ole Ronald going to Chelski :/

I would like to be the first to tell Arsene Wenger to fuck right off. Boruc is the first decent keeper we have had in years, and we must get him signed up.

Yes hes a rubbish manager its not like hes won the Uefa cup and the champions league in succsesive seasons..........oh

and if you think Garcias a donkey you've clearly never seen him play.

[Rolf]

Yeah? Well what happened to Mendieta? He just... kind of... faded away into nothingness at Middlesbrough.

[Platty]

got injured half way trough last year and was out for the season and probably still recovering and cant get back into the team.

[|Laguna|]

So, as things stand, it looks like Sol is going to take Rio's plce in the starting line up. If we win about Sven they will be saying Sven is finally taking note and is now willing to drop players based on club form.

Or

If we lose it will be more evidence of Eriksson's indecisiveness

:/

[Noodleman]

This is what I hate about the press. They take credit for every idea sven has that works. Yet they had been calling for England to play 4-5-1 for months because Chelsea use it and win. So Sven finaly gives in and plays it against Northern Ireland and...... the result is the same journalists calling for Svens head because he was tactically wrong.

[Space]

The thing is, whatever formation we play, Sven can't get the team to play as a team. They never play to their potential and always look totally unprepared.

[dazzybee]

Benitez is a great European manager, but he can't adapt to the English style and his buying policy is a little, how can I put it, hilarious. And I have seen Garcia play many many many times and hes average, extremely inconsistent, he has the ability to do some amazing things but we see that very rarely - you are the first Liverpool fan I know that actually rates him. How often do you go to the matches!?!

ANyways, easy win today for England - Defoe to start!! :)

[Sexual Chocolate]

ANyways, easy win today for England - Defoe to start!! :)

Well I predict no team is going to win, lose or draw since nobody is playing today(friday)

[dazzybee]

Erm, I meant the U21's, who lost. The Defoe to start is a different sentance, put a - instead of a .


Did I get out of that well!?!

[|Laguna|]

The Defoe to start is a different sentance, put a - instead of a .

Nope, I'm bloody confused. :(
Although if you meant that Defoe is not starting and Crouch is instead then you're probably right. But I don't think that's what you were chatting about

[the_villa]

the match ended 1-0

[DS MaNiAc]

Yeah, and england were Shite what a capital S. Beckham got sent off aswell.

[|Laguna|]

Beckham got sent off aswell.

He shouldn't have done though, was pretty harsh in comparison to what other players sometimes got away with. I feel really sorry for Beckham, his kid's in hospital ill and Romeo said he's be glued to the screen wathcing his Dad play. And Beckham said he'd win the match for him. : /
England should've had an extra penalty too.

I totally agree with you

[kav82]

Beckham hasn't been playing well for quite a while now, I think it's a good thing he's not playing against Poland.

Even so, here's how I think Sven will have them line up for Poland now:

Robinson, Young, Ferdinand, Terry, Carragher, J.Cole, Gerrard, Lampard, Richardson, Rooney, Owen.

I think I'd throw Shaun Wright-Phillips in there, for Richardson.

I think the problem for Beckham is that he can't go past people, yes he's got a great pass but so have Gerrard and Lampard! Plus the wing-men who'll now get a chance can go past people!

I wouldn't say he's a great captain either, go for Gerrard or Terry, 2 captains who have shown at club level they're great leaders!

I jut hope we see more positive play and enthusiasm!

[DS MaNiAc]

Why the hell is Jenas in the team? He is crap! Especially with player on great form like Parker and Murphy. Stupid Sven.

[Monopolyman]

Beckham hasn't been playing well for quite a while now.


I disagree with that. I think Beckham is one of the few England players who has preformed well recently. Rooney, too, surprisingly. The rest need a good kick up the arse, with Sven.


In other news, England qualify for the World Cup, no matter what happens on Wednesday.

[DS MaNiAc]

Yeah, cos Holland beat the Czech Republic right?

[dazzybee]

Beckham has been playing well, hes been Madrids best player and hes done the job for England in what has been some crap performances. People who say Beckham is crap is not only going on his form a couple of seasons ago but also following the popular herd (edorsed by tabloid media) by saying it all the time without objectively looking at his performances!!

And England ALWAYS do crap against poor sides. We'll be awesome when it matters.

[Hank Scorpio]

Well Scotland continued to suck, but don't go blaming the media darling Walter Smith for it, it's all because of that bad bad German Berti Vogts, don't ya know. Whats that? This was only Belarus' second competitive victory away from home ever, and only Scotlands 3rd home loss in WC qualifiers in 40 years. Meh, lets still blame Berti!

[Roostophe]

I agree with Hank Scorpio, I can't recall bonny Scotland winning a game under Vogts. I want Scotland to do well and I would love to see them in the WC again just like France '98. Oh well, maybe next time.

[Hank Scorpio]

Well i was actually being sarcastic, but not to worry. Not that i think Vogts was particularily good, but the Scottish press seem to think that the sun eminates from somewhere in Walter Smiths rectum.

As for winning games under vogts, there was that 1-0 home win against holland. However, the second leg 6-0 defeat kinda over shadowed that.

[the_villa]

England won 2-1 and top the group

[kav82]

We played much better than we have done for a while which was good to see, I still say I'd have wright-phillips instead of beckham, he was lively all night and won us about 90% of our corners, he only lacked on the final pass tonight which he usually doesn't but you could see him worrying defenders which is good!

Ledley King played really well in the holding role too and it was a great goal by Super Frank that sealed the win!

[the_villa]

It's good to see that we are top of the group

[kav82]

The Chelsea steamroller carries on!

[Stocka]

Fucking Chelsea, I actually thought Bolton might go on to win it when they were 1-0 up at half time oh well.
Being a gooner I've always hated Man Utd the most but now I hate Chelsea with a passion.I don't actually hate Man Utd that much anymore because I have respect for them to of achieved success through good football over the years, not be a team who can't win the league for 50 years and then a russian billionaire comes over and buys it for them. Just shows Chelsea couldn't win it without the money.

Despite being a major Arsenal supporter(+ season ticket owner) because I live in Norwich I also support Norwich City, and went to the game today against Milwall. Started off a really boring game but second half was pretty action packed, although Norwich should of taken it. Norwich missed a penalty + Milwall had 10 men and still we couldn't manage to win. To those who don't know it was 1-1.

[|Laguna|]

Hmm, surprised the resident Villa fan hasn't posted celebrating the clubs first ever win gainst their Rivals Birmingham City 1-0. Looks like Phillips wasn't half bad. http://news.bbc.co.uk/media/images/40914000/jpg/_40914866_birm2.jpg Even if he does look like a bit of a plonker :grin:

Can't beleive how many injuries Arsenal have suddenly aqquired. Cole, Hleb, Campbell, Gilberto, Henry, and now Ljungberg. :angry:

West Ham v man City later today. And then Charlton Fulham on Monday.

I was also at Norwich - Millwall yesterday was a pretty dire first half with Millwall scoring the games first shot on target although Norwichs equaliser in the 50 something minute was the 2nd shot on target. Still though besides an extremly annoying guy sitting behind me I enjoyed myself.

[Ramar]

I'm going to the Luton vs Norwich match on Tuesday. I'll be in the away end, with my brother and my old man (who is a Norwich fan).

Fooking hate Luton.. even though I've lived here all my life.

hahaha, up the rangers 0-0 away to dundee utd, amon the bhoys!

[|Laguna|]

YES! Arsenal up 1-0 aginst teh Sparta Prague. A typcail Thierry henry legendary goal, the ole French beast.
XD Hope we doa Liverpool this season, stuff up teh premiership but win the Champions League. I know it's not likely but remember that's what they said about Liverpool! I just hope we get to Semis at least.
Good to see Man U struggling as well. :D

Fingers crossed for a chelsea trouncing tommorow. Doubtful but would be a truly great great thing.

[Ramar]

Great that Arsenal won, lets hope this year is our time. I reckon we can win the Champions League.

I was at the Norwich game last night, the first half from a Norwich perspective was terrible. First goal for Luton, fair enough good goal. Then Green made a huge cock-up, fair enough two nil. By this time Norwich had had at least three opportunities of their own, they just couldn't score. Then Luton scored again, this one I thought was off side, the fourth was a blatant foul on the defender (who I think was Doherty).

I dunno what Nigel Worthington said to them at half time but they came out a different team, they had majority of the ball, Green had one or two easy chances to take care of, and again Norwich had plenty of opportunities. Deano scored and I personally thought the come back was on, but alas it didn't happen. Calum Davenport got sent off and then Ryan Jarvis scored.

Luton 4 - 2 Norwich

Terrible game from the Norwich perspective, but it didn't really reflect on the way Norwich played which was a shame.

[the_villa]

BCFC in the relegation zone :D

A right aright, easy. I'm no Villa nut and just typed what I heard in post match commentary. Sorry if I offended you :indeed: But I guess you Villa fans are treasuring every win you get with you having such a poor start to the season an all. Plus the fact that other teams like Man City, Charlton and Tottenham looking so good that they make it pretty damn unlikely you're not going to get a UEFA cup slot.


Chelsea v Real Betis tonight. Hopefully a Joaquin hat trick :grin:

It could happen to anyone. Look at Arsenal for example, Grahama Stack was accused (was found innocent) and Robin van Persie has been accused too, most likely to be found innocent aswell. Its not a thing you wish to happen to anyone, false accusations can turn nasty.

Although this champions league week really belongs to the magic Frenchman and his record breaking, amazing goal.

I am a Villa fan 'cos they are local, but I want teams like Sutton Town to do well.

My main team is Celtic because they are my local team (live in the east end of Glasgow) and my family has followed them for years, but I also support Forfar Athletic (Scottish Division 2) and Yeovil Town.

The Yeovil one came about because when they got promoted to the Football league they changed their strip to green and white hoops, so a bunch of us Celtic fans got in contact with their supporters club and we met when they played in Carlisle :)
We even made up songs for the day even though we hardly knew any of the players :p

1-0 in the carling cup yes :D

[Ramar]

Burnley aren't much of an opposition are they. I saw them live when they played Watford, and quite frankly they were shit.

Nice to see Arsenal win, but honestly the Carling Cup doesn't really mean anything anymore, I sometimes wish they took Premier Legue teams out of it, especially if they aren't going to try and win it.

[Rico]

Ah well it was good to see van Persie putting in a good push for a first team place. But it seems Wenger is doing a Reyes with Quincy by playing him out of position. We don't need so many left sided mids Arsene!

[Ramar]

Quincy is a fantastic player! I really do think he should be given more opportunities in the first team.

[Roostophe]

Burnley aren't much of an opposition are they. I saw them live when they played Watford, and quite frankly they were shit.

We lost to Burnley in the Carling Cup last year, that was pretty much sweet revenge.
We were at home so our players didn't get confused about the shirt colours.

Chelsea = cocky, think they can win all the time now so they just have laugh...

Huth, the free kick and penalty taker :D :D :D :D :D :D

Because he missed that penalty Huth has shown to the world that he is a true Villa player.

Jose Mourinho is getting cocky as well

[DS MaNiAc]

Sunderland AND Manure got stuffed? Things just can't get better! Roll on the Brom!

[Stocka]

Just watched MOTD, lmao it was Van De Sar's birthday!
Argh I was so happy when Blackburn equalised, but I'm sure Chelsea won't beat our unbeaten run. They have to go to Old Trafford and Highbury before they reach 49 games.
We played poor against Spurs, at the end of it I was happy to get a point because I was worried we were going to lose yet alone it being a 'comfortable 3 points.'
No game in the premiership is easy. Especially not local debrys away.

[Hank Scorpio]

Celtic are top of the league after beating Dundee Utd and Hibs beating Hearts, good time alll round. ALso, rangers are 4th, now that, i think you'll find, is funny shit.

[gmac]

Yay well pleased that we're at the top of the league for the first time this season, but hope the Gers don't sack the cat in the hat for a few more weeks yet, let them drop some more points :)

[|Laguna|]

Heh, Villa playing a howler aginst Man City. Thank the good lord we got rid of fumbly Stu Taylor and we got Manuel "steadyhands" Almunia as our No2 instead ;)


GGGGOOOOAAALLLLL for Villa. Ridgewell. 2-1 Game on etc :hehe:

[Hank Scorpio]

Totally. It was fun times at tanadice yesterday when we started singin "McLeish must stay", oh how i laughed, but then quickly got back to chanting.

[DS MaNiAc]

Newcastle vs Brum next, I'm going to the match. Should be a walk in the park, but knowing us we will make it hard for ourselves.

Was at the Reserve match last night vs West brom, won 5-0, chopra got a hat trick, and best of all I shook hands with Lee Clark XD

[Ramar]

We're the 'orns! We're the 'orns! We're the 'orns! WE'RE THE 'ORNS!!

Just got back from the Watford match, fantastic result 3-1 against QPR. Watford are seriously pushing for promotion which wasn't expected by anybody.

[harribo]

Watford if I remember correctly or a bunch of thugs who try to win by annialating(sp) the other team and score late equalisers by having the ref not give stone wall penalties to the other team.

And now I have a link with Villa fans as weve got a 19 year old striker of theirs on loan, obviously getting practice for when Villa play championship football next season :heh:

[Ramar]

You can have that Villa player, he was on loan at Watford, and to be honest he's crap.

[Roostophe]

It might happen. If the takeover doesn't.

Who's the striker? Is it Gabriel Agbonlahor? I heard he went on loan somewhere and I'm sure it was Wednesday he went to.

[harribo]

yeah it is yet to score in his first 2 games but we are desperate for striker so much so he started his first game after 1 ttraining session with us I think(nearly scored in 6mins) hopefully he might be abkle to open his account against Derby as at hillsborough on Saturday.

[Ramar]

Who's the striker? Is it Gabriel Agbonlahor? I heard he went on loan somewhere and I'm sure it was Wednesday he went to.

Yeah it is Agbonlahor.

Edit - Curses you beat me to it.

[Roostophe]

Agbonlahor is only a reserve. Of course he's only going on loan to Wednesday and teams like them so he can get some first-team action. He's good, he's scored a lot of goals in reserve, but maybe Villa feel he needs some first-team action in the lower leagues before they give him a chance in the Premiership.

[the_villa]

that's very true

[harribo]

yep and he still hasnt scored yet thoughafter he went off Wednesday made an unbelievable comeback to win 2-1 against Derby.

[Charlie]

Rangers drew with Aberdeen at home today :D Still in 4th place :D

Celtic will go top if they win tomorrow. :D

Good news alround :)

[Stocka]

Arsenal seem to be back on form :grin: Van Persie is starting to show his talent, him and Henry seem to work well together. hope United beat Chelsea tommorow.

[Roostophe]

Well done to Newcastle. 1-0 winners over Birmingham City.

Colchester destroyed Leamington 9-1.

Minnows Burscough beat League One's Gillingham 3-2.

[Noodleman]

Colchester destroyed Leamington 9-1.

and bloody Match of the day showed one of our goals :mad:

[|Laguna|]

Hehe, good ole Paddy Vieira, I qoute, "'Nistlerooy is a cheat, coward, and son of a bitch. I can't stand him'"

http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/story_pages/sport/sport1.shtml

[Stocka]

Off to see the match now...COME ON UNITED!! (I'm a gooner)

[DS MaNiAc]

HOWAY CHELSEA!! If they beat manure by 3 goals we go to ninth =D

[Eddage]

COME ON!!!! Man Utd 1 Chelsea 0

[Ramar]

Man Utd with a good 1-0 win over Chelsea.

Means we keep our 49 games unbeaten record. Nice one.

[DS MaNiAc]

I hate maure. Gah.

[Stocka]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU CAN'T BEAT OUT UNBEATEN RECORD NOW YOU DIRTY RUSSIAN SHITTY TRASH :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:
Shove that up your fucking asshole Mourinho.

[Stocka]

eat shit morinho
Could be quite painful eating yourself :heh:

[|Laguna|]

Next Chelsea game is Newcastle, at The Bridge. I say Newcastle have a good chance of getting at least 1 point out of it with Owen sharp and Newcastle putting a good set up results together. Could be interesting. Could be anoder Chelsea loss. WOoo


Man U got Charlton after the international break, has come at a good time for them, Neville should be back. Hopefully Man U will be trashed. Nothing better than at team thinking they're high an mighty for beating Chelsea and then getting a good humbling by a lil team.

[kav82]

Well I think a draw would've been a fair result but you don't always get fair.

United played the better in the first half. Second half Chelsea dominated but couldn't produce the final goods.

All in all the thing that annoys me most is that the majority of my friends are united fans and now I'm getting a barrage of txts... bugger!

[gmac]

Yay the hoops are back on top of the SPL, easy 3-0 win over Falkirk takes us back top on goal difference over Hearts and 12 points clear of the Gers :)

[the_villa]

Chelsea lost today

[Stocka]

Well I think a draw would've been a fair result but you don't always get fair.


No you can't always get fair, that isn't how football works. Man Utd took their chances and Chelsea didn't. And I remember wigan dominated Chelsea but still lost, so its about time they lost 'unfairly'....even though I personally think it wasn't unfair and Man Utd played a hell of a lot better.

[kav82]

So erm, remind me of how the Premiership is looking at this moment in time...

Thanks!

[Ramar]

So erm, remind me who went 49 games unbeaten, without having to buy half the worlds top players?

Kthxbai

[harribo]

Wednesday are having a great week for injuries we now without first-team regulars David Lucas, Graham Coughlan and John Hills all out of action for 4-6 weeks. John Hills is a sad one mind. Full article here (http://www.sheffieldtoday.net/ViewArticle2.aspx?SectionID=58&ArticleID=1246807) this happened a few hundred metres down the road from me(I live in Crowedge) and I only found out about this today although I did see the police cars blocking the road up from crowedge.

Although the two people who died were from a family of scum(dont take that as me saying they deserve to die its simply a fact)

[kav82]

whats funny is that nobody had said the players we bought were the top players in their position before we bought them. they were just good before they came to chelsea...

and now remind me of who won the prem after that 49 unbeaten streak of yours.

[Ramar]

Wow thats shocking, never nice to hear things like that. Hope your team doesn't suffer to badly.

Edit -

Well kav, you did. But lets look at the broader picture, it took you 50 years to win a league title and a Russian Billionaire to fund the team and to buy a whole squad. Need I say more, and I won't in fear that this may turn into a flame war, which I do not want.

[Noodleman]

whats funny is that nobody had said the players we bought were the top players in their position before we bought them. they were just good before they came to chelsea...


Yeah its not like Crespo was the most expensive player in the world at one point is it. Admitadly it was for a day but still......

[kav82]

Don't worry I don't flame with football, I love banter!

I hold my hands up and admit we wouldn't be as we are without Abramovich, thats fair enough, but its not like I wish we didn't have him there, yeah we're lucky, extremely lucky, but business is business and he's here and its helped us!

[harribo]

Please say noone saw the first half of the Wednesday match on Sky

[Ramar]

Don't have Sky. Was it that bad?

[harribo]

first half was we lost 3-1 to the sheep shaggers. wednesday fans really piss me off though all they ever do is criticise eg a player who cant hold the ball when he has to jump to get his head to it is rubbish according to someone who sits a couple of rows back from me and they seem to forget we only finished 5th in league 1 last season and or suffering from a large injury list.http://www.swfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Squad/InjuryUpdate/0,,10304,00.html

[Hank Scorpio]

I may be a couple of days late, but celtic humped rangers out of the league cup on wednesday night. Good times

Mon the hoops!

[Ramar]

Great wins for all my teams.

Wigan 2 - 3 Arsenal

Norwich 2 - 0 Luton

Watford 2 - 1 Sheffield Wednesday

Unlucky Harribo ;)

[harribo]

wait you live in luton? yet if it was agreat result you would have to support Norwich.

[Ramar]

My Dad is a Norwich fan (he's from Norfolk and so is my mum), I've been to a few games, and obviously keep an eye on how they get on.

My main team is Arsenal, through and through. I also follow Watford and have attended a few Watford games this season, I plan on going to the match against Brighton on December 3rd.

[harribo]

oh well in that case we beat you drew with you and lost to you in the space of 1 month 1 day.
Tue 18th Oct Wednesday 1-1 Watford (What a bunch of thugs your players are)
Sat 29th Oct Norwich 0-1 Wednesday
Sat 19th Nov Watford 2-1 Wednesday

[Ramar]

I wouldn't say Watford were a dirty team, but each to their own.

[Charlie]

Celtic yet again "humped" Rangers today, 3-0.

Bye bye McLeish!

[JonSt]

Its getting a bit too easy, all this thrashing of rangers.

[|Laguna|]

Absolutely loved the Liverpool game. Crouch couldn'teven score from a penalty ha ha ha.
Good to see that they won in the end tho, really don't like that Perrin bloke.

[Hank Scorpio]

Its getting a bit too easy, all this thrashing of rangers.

I know, i mean how much joy can be gained from beating a very average, mid table SPL team. Now if it were hibs or hearts...

[JonSt]

So true, id prefer a trip to pittodrie nowadays, at least there fans will give a bit of noise while being thrashed.

[|Laguna|]

ON the whole Keane situation Celtic are top of Roy Keane's list as he ponders his next move after leaving Manchester United. Yet he is also considering Everton and Aston Villa as he would like to stay in the Premership

So do you Celtic/Villa supporters want thet man?

Oh andin another comeplty random story Arsene Wenger will be offered the job as Japan's manager if and when he leaves the Gunners. :confused:

[Charlie]

Celtic want him!

[JonSt]

I sure hope we dont get keane, the man is clearly past it and never plays more than 2 games at a time before needing his zimmer, lennon does a good enough job in the position as it is.

[Stocka]

Went to the Arsenal v Blackburn match today, anyone seen Van Persie's goal? Incredible.

[kav82]

Van Persie's goal was awesome, absolutely awesome! git! haha

Crespo scoring is good to see, good goal-scorers goal too, then the bugger goes off with a knock...

[Noodleman]

We thumped Gillingham today 5-0 getting revenge on there jammy 89th minute winner on the first day of the season
up to 7th now and only outside the playoffs on GD. Its scary being this high up the table this far through the season.
