You mean Shaun Wright Phillips? I hope he dosnt move, im sick of Chelsea.

[ChodaBoy]

I think if he could move anywhere it would be Arsenal, because hes from London, and as everyone knows Ian Wright is a legend there. But he'd probably end up at Chelsea - being wasted on the bench. Which is a shame, because its nice to see a smaller club (City) with such a good player. Life is hard as a City fan /cries

[Untitled]

Shut up, its a hard life being a bury fan.

Save Our Shakers :mad: I wonder if the match will sell out today, theres a big marketing operation to get it a capacity crowd. Its the clubs 120th year of being at gigg lane, and theres not other teams playing so they want as many people as posible to go.

[ChodaBoy]

Its still £10 for an adult, which is alot when you know they wont win

[Untitled]

How do you know they wont win? Now shut up presuming stuff.

[mr snrub]

Hey come on, I have it worse. I am a Cambridge Utd fan! We are on the brink of losing our proffesional status, and if we go down we will go into administration and probably have to fold as a football club within the next few years, unless we get promoted again immediately, which seems unlikely as we will only be allowed to keep 4 professional players due to our bankrupcy. So none of you know anything about clubs that are suffering. (unless you support some rubbish conference team.)

[ChodaBoy]

ok, i give in to that one. What position are you in now

[metal-militia]

Mr Snrub wins :)

I think its harsh that teams get deducted 10 points if they go into administration. Teams that go into admin are usually near the bottom and taking off 10 points puts them even further back, and it's almost impossible for them to get back as all their good players get sold etc.

Bury are going into administration, and are near the bottem of Division 3, or 2, or whatever the system is now.

[ChodaBoy]

I do hold my head in shame though. They are winning 2-0. Did someone donate players?

[Untitled]

Bury? they do win occasionaly you know, twat.

[ChodaBoy]

So do City, twat. wow another word that isnt censored. twat twat twat twat...fun

[Untitled]

I never said they dont.

[ChodaBoy]

Tommorrow - England 2 N Ireland 0

Rooney, and Owen

[poorquality]

If we can't put atleast 3 past N ireland without conceding a goal, i dont think we played well :P sorry but with the tallent we have in that team...compared to n ireland..

[mr snrub]

ok, i give in to that one. What position are you in now

We are bottom of the football league (24th in League 2), and are 6 points off safety with little time remaining. That 10-point docking rule is a real bummer because if we get that then there will be no hope of survival at all, but we will keep fighting till the end.

[mr snrub]

Bury are going into administration, and are near the bottem of Division 3, or 2, or whatever the system is now.

Dude, Bury are 17th in League 2, and about 15 points clear of safety. You have nothing to worry about.

[Untitled]

Unless they go into admin like the news says theres a possablity of. I know they would still be 5 points clear, but then all they would need to do is loose 2 games and the teams below them win, and they would be in the religation zone.

You trust the news/media? According to them, Man City are in £62 million debt - despite being the 16th richest club in the WORLD. Does this mean everyone below them is in debt?!

I do beleave the news, because the north west tonight guy is a legand, and wouldnt lie.

I looked on the official bury website, and i have to regester to read the news :mad: its free, but i cant be arsed.

You'd be surprised, actually.

[Iai]

Tommorrow - England 2 N Ireland 0

Rooney, and Owen
I'm gonna say 3-1 to England.

N Ireland will score first, and stun the crowd.

Then Owen - a player with a point to prove - will score an absolute pearler. Lampard will get the second, probably with a header from a Beckham free-kick. And then, if Joe Cole makes an appearance, he'll get the third in the dying stages. If not, then Rooney will.

Nothing like specifics, eh? :)

[Untitled]

I think 3-0 to engerland. Im gonna say Lampard, Rooney, Me. Because someone will kick the ball over old trafford, and itll land in my back yard. Ill pick it up, kick it back and it will go in the goal, and im english so it will count.

Does anyone have the sqaud list?

[ChodaBoy]

Robinson; Neville, A Cole, Terry, Ferdinand; Beckham (capt), Lampard, J Cole, Gerrard; Rooney, Owen.
Subs: James, Carragher, King, Dyer, Hargreaves, Heskey, Defoe.

[Untitled]

Ok, im sticking with my prediction, even though if i tried to kick the ball into old trafford, it would end up in the city of manchester stadium :(

[ChodaBoy]

With a kick like yours, it'd end up in next doors garden...

[Untitled]

No, it wouldnt go that far, it bounce of my fence, into my face :upset:

[Iai]

Robinson; Neville, A Cole, Terry, Ferdinand; Beckham (capt), Lampard, J Cole, Gerrard; Rooney, Owen.
Awesome.

[ChodaBoy]

Emile Heskey, however, really shouldn't be anywhere near that substitute bench.
I havent got the slightest clue why Heskey was even considered, he just doesnt have what it takes. He's scored 8 all season, Fowler has 9, but you dont hear about him in the squad

Is it just me or has Gerrard lost ALOT of confidence?

[Untitled]

Gerrard dosnt seem to be playing as well as he can, i think Owen's confidance has gone down, I dont think he should of moved to Madrid, seems like a bad desicsion to me.

[Eccles]

Come on ya bastards!!!! :D

We can sneak a 1-0 out of England yet :p

[Eccles]

....or not :upset:

[Iai]

Hey, my prediction was ****!

Good times.

[Rancid Dan]

Well done England.

Dyer did well when he came on.

Lampard and Owen should have scored from chances he created.

Good second half.

[ChodaBoy]

Even though i hate Chelsea, and all those involved with them. I'd have to say that Cole was probably man of the match

[Rancid Dan]

Yeah, he played well.

I want Dyer, to get a place ahead of him though.

[chumpradio]

I don't normally like Cole, but he did do well.
I don't like Dyer either. They both think they are better than they actually are. Although Cole did great, he normally messes up a lot.

[Untitled]

Coles matured a lot, but he looks evil.

[ChodaBoy]

I cant wait to see SWP back. He really messed up last time, but i think that was just a one off

[Untitled]

I remember the pre game thing, they was "thats a good cross, WP should of scored. Theres an other good cross that WP should of got in. WP should of scored that too"

[ChodaBoy]

Haha, Poland 8 - Azerbaijan 0

[Iai]

Haha, Poland 8 - Azerbaijan 0
****.

[Untitled]

And they was saying today a 4-0 win for england could ultimatly mean they win on goal difference....

[ChodaBoy]

Yea, but there wasnt much question on whether we'd get through or not, its practically a given thing. If it didnt happen, we'd just deny it until the next world cup

[Ganondorf]

We'll beat Azerbajain by even more goals :p

[Northern Soul]

I thought dyer did well when he came on. Cole was MOM but i cant see him staying on the wing he isnt natural enuf there.

[metal-militia]

We'll beat Azerbajain by even more goals :p


We only beat them 1-0 away :( how crap is that???

[Rancid Dan]

I'm expecting 3 - 0 against Azerbaijan.

[poorquality]

I say 5-0, owen scores 2, rooney 1, gerrard 1, and an own goal :P (i'm precise)

[Rancid Dan]

Owen will never score two.

Did you see how he tried to claim that Own goal !!!

That was hilarious !

[ChodaBoy]

Yea, the little Spanish boy! I think either he or Beckham will come back to England this season, They cant be too happy with the way they are being treated. Beckham with the media and Owen with the 15 minute play

[metal-militia]

Did you see how he tried to claim that Own goal !!!

That was hilarious !

I can't believe he even tried to say he touched it.

I think both will stay in Spain.

[Untitled]

If it wasnt an own goal, i think owen would of got a touch on it, if not lampard was on the line and couldnt miss.

[ChodaBoy]

Yea but they're talking about how he tried to make it seem like he scored

[Rancid Dan]

Yeah, but it was the most pathetic claim for a goal, it was obvious it didn't touch him.

Signs of a man desperate to prove himself.

[ChodaBoy]

I agree there but he shouldnt have to try and prove himself, we know what hes capable of (because hes scored against most teams GRR). Give him a run in the starting team and he'd be fine, but at Real he'd probably never get that unless all the other strikers were injured

[Rancid Dan]

I don't like Owen. He's not strong enough and seems to lose possesion to much.

I think Defoe is better.

Hargreaves is the worst player andn England managr has ever fielded.

He comes on in every match. and all he ever does is lose the ball, or knock it across about 5 metres.

He's crap.

Players like Dyer, SWP and Cole should play instead of him.

[ChodaBoy]

Yes most def. I've always questioned why he was played. Ive never seen him do a single thing that was useful. If you think about it, Sven has some really good players to choose from this WC. Last time around i dont think most of them were really prepared for the challenge. but now some of the youngsters have gotten alot of experience

[Untitled]

The scotish guy on MOTD, says we should of won Euro04, but we had a cheeting crap ref :mad:

[sammysticks]

I don't like Owen. He's not strong enough and seems to lose possesion to much.

I think Defoe is better.

Hargreaves is the worst player andn England managr has ever fielded.

He comes on in every match. and all he ever does is lose the ball, or knock it across about 5 metres.

He's crap.

Players like Dyer, SWP and Cole should play instead of him.

yes Hargreaves is crap but i also think that Dyer is over rated, all he has is speed.

[metal-militia]

Hargreaves is awful. I really can't understand why he and Heskey got picked. :confused:

[ChodaBoy]

Heskey, hahahahaha, so funny whenever he and England are mentioned in the same sentence

[jaymz_is_god]

Anyone see the rumours about Casillas? He would be a great signing for United.

[Northern Soul]

Hargreaves has had over 25 caps and he is terrible so is heskey. I hope he plays the same team, but when all fit i would give the wings to Downing and SWP

[Northern Soul]

Anyone see the rumours about Casillas? He would be a great signing for United.

Why would Real sell him?. Also where would Utd get the money?

[metal-militia]

Why would Real sell him?. Also where would Utd get the money?

True.

I heard next season United won't be able to spend too much money, mainly becuase of the money spent on Rooney.

[red barchetta]

did anyone see the france - switzerland game? (2 days ago)

if so, did you see trezeguet's big miss? so bad....

[poorquality]

Casillas announced he would be looking elseware to play because he isnt getting first team footie at real, so real would have no choice but to let him go if he wants to, if they forced him to stay it wouldnt look good for real

[ChodaBoy]

Who do they have in goal now then? This other guy must be the reason they are doing kind of crappy compared to other seasons

[Rancid Dan]

Canizares ?

[sammysticks]

did anyone see the france - switzerland game? (2 days ago)

if so, did you see trezeguet's big miss? so bad....

that was terrible i couldn't help but laugh

[ChodaBoy]

If your team was given the option to buy any player for free, no matter who they are, who would it be

[metal-militia]

Ronaldinho, have him for a season, sell him for laods, then buy a whole new squad :D

[Ganondorf]

Beckham, use the money you earn from him to buy more players, make the club bigger, attracting even more players. Word.

[sammysticks]

If your team was given the option to buy any player for free, no matter who they are, who would it be

nedved!
even though he is getting a bit old.

[poorquality]

Good ol' Mourinho...after further UEFA investigations towards the accusations with barca...mourinho has informed UEFA that despite his original tale being how he saw the ref and manager talking, he really just heard that it happened from one of his staff members :) well well changing the story...i hope UEFA go down so hard on chelsea right now...mourinhos getting too cocky...a 5k fine for the 1st thing, they're getting away with anything, he's probably only admitting because he thinks 'oh well, another 5 grand fine and a clean conciounce (spelling?)...meh..

[ChodaBoy]

Conscience.

I definately agree

[metal-militia]

They should crack down on stuff like this... make the fine worth it. 5k? thats nothing....

[poorquality]

On a plus note though, that doesn't involve Chelski and its Russian couterparts...

Tomorrow, England v Azabeijan (Spelling? :P )

Everyones like "Oh Poland won 8-0 so we should hammer them worse" but personally i think thats a stupid view...games which end up like 8-0 thrashings are one offs, I don't expect england to win by more than 4, not because they aren't good enough, but because fluke results don't happen every week..look at Man u when they beat ipswitch 9-1...did everyone expect other big teams who played ipswitch to win by massive margins? No..ppl had more sense back then :P

so England 3(4)(5) - 0 Azerbeijan (:P)

Thats my opinion anyway..people here might think that we should win like 14-0 just because poland won by 8

[Iai]

Did you see that The Sun are offering to give their keeper a yak for every goal he lets in? :lol:

I'm convinced Azerbaijan is a made-up place, anyway.

England 5 - 0 Azerbaijan.

[ChodaBoy]

I'm convinced Azerbaijan is a made-up place, anyway.
:lol:

[leiferikson]

Yeah I really hate how everyone is predicting a huge scoreline. Eriksson said he doesn't like it either because obviously football doesnt work like that. You can't just tell your team to go out and score 8 goals. I'm sure this is what they said about Macedonia a few years ago and we ended up scraping a draw! Anyway I think it'll be 3 or 4-0 to england. If they are very lucky eg. a few long shots go in or the ball goes in off the post instead of bouncing out like against N.I then maybe it'll be like 6 or 7. Its luck really

[leiferikson]

There are about 15 "Azer-something" style puns in the Sun today. eg "he azer chance". it gets funnier every time

[poorquality]

Where would we be without the sun :)

[ChodaBoy]

Without fake stories?

[poorquality]

Fake Stories, Sporting Puns, and Page 3 ...

Hm

[leiferikson]

No Band Aid 20. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

[poorquality]

Pretty good..but its getting off topic :o so erm.. Arjen Robben out for atleast another Month..can Chelski cope without him? :o Pundits saaaaaaaaay yes...I say no :P or i hope not

[leiferikson]

Why do the best players always get injured? I'm a Spurs fan but I love watching Chelsea play when Robben is playing, he's simply brilliant. I've been a big fan of him since I bought him in CM 2001-2002. They can definitely win the league without him but the CL, I really dont think so.

I bet Joe Cole is happy though

[metal-militia]

England 4-0 Azerbaijan

Remember though, it was only 1-0 last time.

[ChodaBoy]

3-0 England

[metal-militia]

Pretty good..but its getting off topic :o so erm.. Arjen Robben out for atleast another Month..can Chelski cope without him? :o Pundits saaaaaaaaay yes...I say no :P or i hope not


I hope not too...
prediction for weekend

Saints 1-1 Chelsea :cool:

[ChodaBoy]

In an ideal world it would be 3-0

[Ganondorf]

I hope not too...
prediction for weekend

Saints 1-10* Chelsea :cool:

Fixed :p

[jaymz_is_god]

look at Man u when they beat ipswitch 9-1

*9-0 :)

[Adam Jones is GOD]

England 4-0 Azerbaijan

Remember though, it was only 1-0 last time.

Im putting £5 on a draw.




Seriously, im betting i could get some good odds for that. That way ill either be happy, or annoyed yet richer.

It'll be nice to watch a game where the team im supporting are favourites to deliver a stuffing for a change.

[Rancid Dan]

I hope Dyer plays at least a half tonight as it's at St. James Park.

I could see him scoring.

[Rancid Dan]

Also, Azerbaijan are putting out 6 defendersto deal with Wayne.

[sammysticks]

Pretty good..but its getting off topic :o so erm.. Arjen Robben out for atleast another Month..can Chelski cope without him? :o Pundits saaaaaaaaay yes...I say no :P or i hope not

course we can just cause we haven't got Robben doesn't mean were rubbish. we didn't have him for the baca match and look at the outcome there.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Also, Azerbaijan are putting out 6 defendersto deal with Wayne.

I really want to see 6 of their players just following Rooney around all game, in a rugby defence style. That would make me smile, especially when the 4 remaining players are all miles away from the ball

[poorquality]

or especially when he skills them all and smashes a 30 yarder into the back of the net :) in the first minute

[SickBoy]

how come no ones on about the real match?
austria v Wales

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Because its not a real match. Its Wales :)

No, seriously, i've not kept track of Wales' progression so far. How big a match is it?

And any game in Austria is going to be a challenge

[metal-militia]

Wales have really gone off the boil since Mark Hughes left, but even before then, they were getting worse. They're almost certainly not going to the World Cup, as they're 10 points behind Poland, who are 1 point behind us, and they'll be lucky if they get a draw in Austria...quite why John Toshack felt the need to alienate Robbie Savage so early on is beyond me...I mean, Savage may a complete bastard of a player, but he always adds some actualy competitiveness to the midfield, which is what Wales need.

I agree

Whats the point of leaving out a good (even if he is a dickhead) player. It seems like its just some petty argument and he's trying to make a stand by not including him.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Petty argument salways mess up any aspect of football.

I remember when Ruud (insert silent G surname here) took charge of Newcastle, the same year Stuart Pearce joined them. Ruud neve rpicked him for the first team once, and no explanation was given, which was unbelieveable, as the reason he was bought was 1) To increase Newcastle's left side ability 2) Give Stuart pearce his triumphant career ending in the Premiership

[ChodaBoy]

Because its not a real match. Its Wales
:lol:

2) Give Stuart pearce his triumphant career ending in the Premiership
After that, He ended his career at Man City.

[poorquality]

so where will you be watching the match? :o I'm afraid i'm stuck in the house to watch it :( But I got enough drink, food, and mates..to make it worthwhile

[jaymz_is_god]

I might watch a bit of the match. Haven't decided yet.

[SickBoy]

Because its not a real match. Its Wales :)

No, seriously, i've not kept track of Wales' progression so far. How big a match is it?

And any game in Austria is going to be a challenge

not really that important, jsut a reason ,maybe, to hate John Toshack more

after the last few games with Sparky in charge, Toshack would complain and say how he would do thing differently to Hughes, given the chance agaisnt Austria he used the exact same tactics and team as mark hughes did.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

After that, He ended his career at Man City.

Yeah, that was the reason behind his move to Man City.

/Stuart Pearce fanboy

[ChodaBoy]

The problem with this match is, if we dont score more than 8, the team will be slated in the papers. But it cant be expected just because Poland scored 8. They might have changed their tactics, and the game against Poland may have just been a one off.

[poorquality]

Hm 2-0...now alot of people will slate england so badly for that...totally ignoring the fact we dominated that game so horribly it well could of been 8+ - 0. But thats ignorant people for you...ignore a great performance and concentrate on the score sheet :P

[guitarbaz]

meh, it was ok. unlucky not have put a few more in but hey.

dyer came on and did well again....shame his creativity wasn't finished off.

[ChodaBoy]

Cant complain with the match though, they dominated, and won. It would have been fun to see them knock goals in one-after-another, but the 3 points is more important than a high score number

[metal-militia]

I feel sorry for Azerbaijan, they played ok and almost got 2. Mind you, if England were playing a better team i think those 2 chances would've gone in. What was that Beckham booking all about as well? :confused:

[ChodaBoy]

Apparently,the linesman told him not to go on because he didnt have his boot on, but he went on anyway. So the defiance got him booked. Load of crap if you ask me

[Untitled]

They said its either because of him playign without a shoe, and they also siad one of the linesmen wasnt letting him on without his shoe on, but he went on anyway.

[poorquality]

Well your not allowed to leave the pitch without the refs knowledge and beckham walked off to get a drink and sort his boot out, and then just came back on like nothing happened, still with 1 boot in his hand, after the linesman told him not too, because you cant just go back on without the ref knowing..then he played for a bit without a boot, and the ref booked him...load of crap...but the ref went by the rules..deserved a booking

[ChodaBoy]

I suppose he was wrong, I liked Beckhams response best. He clapped his hands towards the linesman and said "well done"

[metal-militia]

well if its in the rules he has to do it, no matter how **** it is....

[Britney Diva]

Did he brag about how clever he was to get booked again?

[poorquality]

Oh boy......UEFA have once again made their claim as the whipping boys of football...what sort of punishment is a 2 match touchline suspension and a 9k fine :| Mourinhos laughing his way through everything atm...and in all fairness..I would be too, because the FA and UEFA are too **** soft..I'd exploit the hell out of them too if i could...break their rules, and get my ruski friend to pay my fines....he's got a good life so far...

[ChodaBoy]

They just totally dont understand what kind of people they are, and the money they have.

[ATM]

Any MLS fans? :)

[metal-militia]

Just seen that Shearer is going to play on for another season. :thumb:

[ChodaBoy]

Doesnt he have the all time premiership goal scoring record?

[ATM]

He's been playing so long, I wouldn't be surprised.

[poorquality]

He'll never stop...prosthetic legs are all the rage in europe :o

[Wide Eyes]

thats got to be good new for the Toon Army, I'm wondering what you Newcastle supporters think of Souness now? He's got you on a pretty good run of form, into the FA Cup semi's and the UEFA Cup quarters, and I'm pretty sure he would have had a hand in convincing Shearer to play on.

[gimp fest]

thats got to be good new for the Toon Army, I'm wondering what you Newcastle supporters think of Souness now? He's got you on a pretty good run of form, into the FA Cup semi's and the UEFA Cup quarters, and I'm pretty sure he would have had a hand in convincing Shearer to play on.

as a toon, i think that souness is settling in now, i gave him a load of stick at the start but now im warming to him

[Rancid Dan]

Yeah, i like him.

And if Shearers staying on, Souness must have persuaded him.

Pay rise ?

[red barchetta]

Doesnt he have the all time premiership goal scoring record?
he's scored about 250 goals in the premiership, which is about 90 goals different from A. cole, who's the second topscorer

[jaymz_is_god]

Just out of curiosity, how old is Shearer anyway?

[Iai]

Yeah, i like him.

And if Shearers staying on, Souness must have persuaded him.

Pay rise ?
More likely, he's been promised a role at the club once he retires. Probably as boss, or assistant manager at least.

[ATM]

Just out of curiosity, how old is Shearer anyway?

I'd guess early 40's, but I can't tell you for sure.

[guitarbaz]

I'd guess early 40's, but I can't tell you for sure.

that'll be 34 actually :lol:

he'll love you for that one.

[ChodaBoy]

Now that Pennant MAY be able to play, will they move his tag to his arm? Because they are usually on the ankle, but that would interfere wih his play

[Iai]

No. They've already had a report on that in the papers, and he won't be able to play because they refuse to move the tag.

[ATM]

that'll be 34 actually :lol:

he'll love you for that one.

:lol: Oh well, I still know more then most Americans.

[ChodaBoy]

He isnt that old now, its just because of injuries that hes gotten over the years, they've taken a toll on him. Which is a shame because hes a great player

[Adam Jones is GOD]

I think Ian Rush proved rather nicely in that Tsunami Charity match that age will not affect skill if you are god enough

[nitzguy]

Any MLS fans? :)
i am when i can find it on tv. they need a team in detroit so i can try out and not get on it

[ChodaBoy]

I would expect it to be alot easier to get onto an American team because American Football dominates sport so real football seems to be ignored by most

[ATM]

It may be easier to get on a team here in USA, but it is nowhere near easy.

[Iai]

He isnt that old now, its just because of injuries that hes gotten over the years, they've taken a toll on him. Which is a shame because hes a great player
Retiring early from international football was a good move for his longevity, I think.

Hopefully Scholes will still be going into his mid-30s.

[ChodaBoy]

I enjoyed seeing Bayern have a sense of humour. Putting on their website that they have bought Beckham for 35million.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

I enjoyed seeing Bayern have a sense of humour. Putting on their website that they have bought Beckham for 35million.

Bayern have always had a sense of humour. They had their comedy theme song one season, then they sold about as much merchendise with their name on it as Kiss ever did. And they have Kahn in goal. Cant get funnier than that

That, and they let us score a goal against them at home. That was hilarious.

[Iai]

Bayern also showed their sense of humor by saying they didn't want Mourinho to get a touchline ban. Why? They didn't want him to have any excuses when they beat Chelsea.

I love it when football managers indulge in WWF-level banter.

Ellis is supposedly giving O'leary £20m for new players! I'll be so happy if this is true. He'll have finally got around to putting his hands in his pocket and providing the investment villa need to escape from mid table mediocraty.

Aie, I thought I read somewhere O'Leary was getting around 4m to bring in 1 or 2 new players...if its true he's getting 20 now, thats great for villa fans. Don't you have the smallest squad in the premiership or something along those lines? Any kind of investment is probably welcome by supporters though.

Wish Rupert Lowe would give us some money. :(

[Wide Eyes]

Man U used up their transfer budget for this summer already because they bought Rooney. But seriously, after all the money he's wasted on rubish midfielders do you United supporters really trust Sir Alex to effectively replace Giggs, Scholes, Keane...IMO you lot should never have sold Nicky Butt.

[jaymz_is_god]

I was really disappointed when we sold Nicky Butt. IMO, he is better than Djemba-Djemba and Phil Neville in the centre of midfield.

[Rancid Dan]

Oh noes, i broke the thread...:upset:

[red barchetta]

Oh noes, i broke the thread...:upset:
you idiot!!! why!?!?!?

[jaymz_is_god]

:lol:

[Rancid Dan]

Should I un-break it ?

[jaymz_is_god]

Should I un-break it ?

I think it would be wise.

[Rancid Dan]

Ok then, wait a sec....

[Rancid Dan]

So , Newcastle will kick Villas *** today.....

[jaymz_is_god]

Oooo, the thread is fixed :)

[jaymz_is_god]

So , Newcastle will kick Villas *** today.....

Where is it? United should win easily against Blackburn.

[Rancid Dan]

It's at ST.James Park, and everyone should be in a good mood about Shearer.

Hopefully a better result than earlier in the season.:upset:

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Anyone see Austin Healy put football to shame by pefecting the crossbar challenge on Soccer AM today?

[Rancid Dan]

I wish i had Sky, coz that programme seems ace.

[jaymz_is_god]

I wish i had Sky, coz that programme seems ace.

Yeah, me too. I used to watch it, but my mum decided to get rid of Sky...the bitch.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

I wish i had Sky, coz that programme seems ace.

It was even better than normal today, as Neil Ruddock was on. That guy was born to be an entertainer.

[mikethecoug]

CROSSBAR CHALLENGE ROCKS :D actually so does soccer AM, ^^so so funny!

[metal-militia]

Yeah, me too. I used to watch it, but my mum decided to get rid of Sky...the bitch.

Harsh :upset:

I dont have sky sports so i have to go out today to see Saints beat Chelsea :thumb:

[Rancid Dan]

Football Focus is good, but it's on too early, it should start at 1, not 12.

[ChodaBoy]

Grrr. Its just not going right for City at the minute. We lose a match because Atouba takes out one of our players. Then Charlton go and get a draw by scoring with seconds left

[Rancid Dan]

Jesus Christ, i can't believe were losing !!!

[sammysticks]

Harsh :upset:

I dont have sky sports so i have to go out today to see Saints beat Chelsea :thumb:

yeh like the saints are really going to beat chelsea.

CHELSEA RULE!

[Iai]

Nistelrooy just got subbed!

Well played, Fergie.

[Iai]

Bowyer and Dyer sent off for fighting each other!

**** man. Not a great day for Newcastle.

[ChodaBoy]

:lol: :lol: :lol:
Dyer and Bowyer sent off for fighting each other :lol: thats hilarious

[Iai]

Bowyer apparently walked off with his shirt ripped.

Can't wait to see that on MOTD tonight. I can just imagine Alan Hansen shaking his head in disappointment......:lol:

[ChodaBoy]

The Toon fans sounded LESS than happy. I found it so amusing though

[Untitled]

Apparently you havent...

[Untitled]

Apparently you havent...
I have, i went for Bury Vs City in about 1998 we drew 1-1, and City Vs Bury at main road and bury won 1-0. That was when Bury where good, in division 1.

Bury Drew 0-0 too rochdale :eek: its a local derby we shoud of won. And we're 18th in division 3, or 2, or whatever it is, i dont like change :evil:

[Rancid Dan]

Newcastle United.

The laughing stock of Britain.

MOTD is gonna get the highest ratings ever today.

[Iai]

In other news, Luton won and stay top of League 1.

That means living here is cool.

I wish.

[Rancid Dan]

Meh, Halifax won 5-1.

5 goals in the second half for The Shaymen.

[Rancid Dan]

No, we lost 3 - 0

[gimp fest]

[Rancid Dan]

[gimp fest]

[Iai]

Hahaha.

[Rancid Dan]

Yeah, Rupert, you eally should get informed about stuff, somehow or another.

[Iai]

I get all my knowledge from BBC 5 Live.

It's the only reason I still have a radio.

[gimp fest]

how??!! mx = source of information

[lilpete86]

3-0 this has made my week, first we get promised £20m in the transfer window and now beating newcastle. Life is starting to look better at villa park.

[Rancid Dan]

We will still finish ahead of oyu.

And you know it.

[lilpete86]

Of course you will, but were used to being in such a bad position in the league :p

[Rancid Dan]

Good.

[poorquality]

Well well...just got back from work...feel sick...not physically...but GOD why can united go and beat arsenal 4-2 AT highbury....and can't even beat norwich....its a joke...meh chelski winning right now...13 pts clear now...arsenal above us now by goal difference...

..so much for "ruud will be on a scoring streak now after the weeks internationals"

meh on other notes :) Can't wait to see the fight...sounded cool...anyone know what it was about?

[Rancid Dan]

It was about DYER AND BOWYER BEING GAY

[poorquality]

ah..fighting over the same guy :o....shearer :P

[lilpete86]

Would have loved to have been a fly on the wall in newcastles dressing room after the match

[Rancid Dan]

Well, i bet they regret it now, Souness will certainly have something to say to 'em.

[lilpete86]

Yeah they've already issued a statement apologising

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Wasnt Bowyer involved in a own player fight before?


No wait, that was two Blackburn players back in the UEFA cup, bout 10 years ago. Statto rank for anyone who can remember which two players it was

[metal-militia]

:lol: Bowyer and Dyer... can't wait to see that.

In other news Lampard the jammy bastard scores a lucky free kick and Saints lose 3-1 to Chelski.

[Untitled]

why, sent off? :upset:
Taylor, or somone hand balled the ball in the box and got sent of. And bowyer and dyer decided to kick **** out of each other, and both got sent off.

If you ask me, there behavour, was Dyerbolical

[ChodaBoy]

If you ask me, there behavour, was Dyerbolical
/shakes head.

You must have been watching one hell of a crap football program to get that one

[Untitled]

I made it up myself, but i could imagine Alan Hanson saying it, as well as shocking.

Fire your writers Butler. Humour like that would not be accepted in an episode cough'overdue'gh

[Untitled]

I take it noone likes my jokes :(

Watch it, later, someone on MOTD will say the same, and you'll all be laughing

[metal-militia]

I think Bowyer is a thug, and it looks like he started it, and i think he should be sacked.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Graeme Le Saux and David Batty.

I'll pick up the mx geek award later


Congrats. I may try testing more of the old football knowldge, since I know so little these days.

The press conference was funny, neither player came out with an apology to each other.

And Hansen did exactly what we thought.

[Untitled]

This Ref seemed very biast towards Villa.

Ha ha, the Bowyer, Dyer incedent was pretty funny. At least they foramaly appologised.

[Iai]

Yup. It was like when two kids have a fight in the playground, and the teacher makes them shake hands afterwards.

[Untitled]

Ha ha yeah, it was.

[metal-militia]

Yup. It was like when two kids have a fight in the playground, and the teacher makes them shake hands afterwards.


:lol: yeah

Did you notice when they said sorry they never apoligised to each other?

[ChodaBoy]

Yup. It was like when two kids have a fight in the playground, and the teacher makes them shake hands afterwards.
:lol:

When they made the apologies, they werent actually sincere. If they meant it, they wouldnt have been fidgeting and touching their heads

[Iai]

Fire your writers Butler.
.....is his surname actually Butler, or is that a quote from somewhere?

Edit: Hey, 3 people in a row laughed at me. :cool:

[Untitled]

:lol: yeah

Did you notice when they said sorry they never apoligised to each other?
They appologised to there team mates, so that could indircetly be them. I doubt it though.

Anyone see Taylor, acting like he was shot when he realised he handballed the ball :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Adam Jones is GOD]

.....is his surname actually Butler, or is that a quote from somewhere?

Neither. he is actually a Butler. And my drink is late

That'll be on Platoon on Soccer AM.

(for those who have seen Platoon at least, you can gues what a clever comedy sketch they make of that)

[Untitled]

Cool, that's my surname too. :)
We have a cool surname :thumb:

[Iai]

Anyone see Taylor, acting like he was shot when he realised he handballed the ball :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
That was almost as funny as the fight. He looked like he was having a heart attack.

[Iai]

We have a cool surname :thumb:

Your first name's not Nick, is it? :amaze:

[ChodaBoy]

What the hell is up with Ruud lately? Talk about crap form

[Untitled]

:thumb:

Your first name's not Nick, is it? :amaze:
Nope, Antony. BUT, when we play football, sometimes i get called "Nicky Butler" (play on Nicky Butt)

[Iai]

Can you imagine how often I got called Nicky Butt in high school? :upset:

...

Just checked the BBC News 24 site.

The pair later appeared alongside manager Graeme Souness to apologise for their conduct, but pointedly did not say sorry to each other.

Both will miss the FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United on 17 April.

Souness must have hit the roof when he realised that.

Personally, I think Dyer should serve a 2 or 3 match ban, and Bowyer should get a lengthier ban, and a fine.

Looks like Man U were having a Michael Owen day today. :lol:

I think dyer should be for 1 or 2, not 3. It was bowyer who started it, and dyer looked to be trying to restrian him, even if he threw a few punches himself.

Man U, were unlucky, this week everyone seems to be hiting the woodwork, it happend on wednesday quite a lot, and today.

[metal-militia]

Sack Bowyer, give Dyer a 3 match ban and a fine :thumb:

That Taylor thing was funny though. :lol:

[ChodaBoy]

What made him think he could get away with that i'll never know

[Untitled]

It was sooooo funny. I could imagine whats going on in his head.

- "ok, one on one, dont let the ball in the net"
-" oh crap, hes kicked the ball what should i do"
- " OH FUK NO, its hit my hand....."
-"I know, ill pretend ive been shot"
/lies dead.

[ChodaBoy]

It was as if someone had just pulled out his kidney and pizzed on it, then cleaned it off so he could stand up

[Rancid Dan]

I think Dyer was innocent in it.

Bowyer was childish because he started it because Dyer didnt pass to him a couple of times.
