Euro 2008 (Official Man City LOL Thread)

[clown_phobia]

Does anyone like the german bundesliga?

[Ganondorf]

Newcastle missed quite a few chances......

Hopefully Portsmouth let WBA thrash them so they can see Saints go down ;)

[Rancid Dan]

****, we completley outplayed Everton, if Ameobi wasn't so stupid and the reffere didn't give that foul to Everton we probably would have won.

[MILF Hunter]

We lost out of the playoffs on goal difference :(

[guitarbaz]

****, we completley outplayed Everton, if Ameobi wasn't so stupid and the reffere didn't give that foul to Everton we probably would have won.

its just another turd that defines our season :upset:

[Rancid Dan]

Aw, hard luck

[E sharp]

Its a shame Liverpool won't be included in next seasons UEFA.

[Rancid Dan]

Yes they will.

You mean Champions League.

The will be in the UEFA Cup.

[poorquality]

Wigan are up to the premiership..3-0 against Reading :o

Crewe are scraping to avoid relegation, thanks for forrest equalizing against the other team, crewe are 1 spot clear of relegation on same points but better goal difference, last 10 mins are vital

[ChodaBoy]

Kluivert is leaving the Toon then, I think hes only scored one decent goal and that was against Chelski

[Rancid Dan]

Yeah, i've read that.
I think he's scored 12 or 13 this season.

He scored a great goal against Palace, he kind of did a back-heel.

[Firecracker]

Liverpool are totally gonna thrash Arsenal.

[Rancid Dan]

Ha, yeah.

It's impossible for us to make it to the top half now. :upset:

[Firecracker]

Silly silly, you should offer to play for them yourself, and make them know what real discipline is.

[guitarbaz]

Yeah, i've read that.
I think he's scored 12 or 13 this season.

He scored a great goal against Palace, he kind of did a back-heel.

the annoying thing about him is that he's got the talent and the skills but he's not proved that he's got the drive and determination. certainly not for us anyway. bit of a waste really and i'll be glad to see him on his way.

[Rancid Dan]

I'm a bit inn the middle.

I like having such a top-class striker at Newcastle.

Ameobi has been playing well recently though.

[Chucky]

he was sent off. GRAEME SOUNESS is crap, simple as that... excuses excuses excuses!
FIRE HIM!!!!
Fergie sucks *** too, although I support them he is so ****!

[Rancid Dan]

stfu

[ChodaBoy]

Who was it that said Pool will win?!

[Agitated_Barry]

he was sent off. GRAEME SOUNESS is crap, simple as that... excuses excuses excuses!
FIRE HIM!!!!
Fergie sucks *** too, although I support them he is so ****!

I was at a game once where for the first ten minutes some guy was shouting "Souness Out! Souness Out!" The man was subsequently told to shut up for being a fat, stupid wanker.

[Agitated_Barry]

the annoying thing about him is that he's got the talent and the skills but he's not proved that he's got the drive and determination. certainly not for us anyway. bit of a waste really and i'll be glad to see him on his way.

It's a shame he's half international superstar half Dutch bowl of jelly really.

[Rancid Dan]

WAHEY !
Liverpool won't be in the champions league next season !!!

[sting-ray]

if they win the champions league this year, uefa said that they will let 5 english teams participate

[Firecracker]

if they win the champions league this year, uefa said that they will let 5 english teams participate
Really? Excellent!

[Rancid Dan]

No they didn't.

They said they won't.

[Firecracker]

UEFA sucks.

[Rancid Dan]

Heh.

/chuckles

It makes the fact we can't qualify for Europe so much better.

[Firecracker]

Considering we beat you 4-3 in our sleep.

[sting-ray]

even if they don't the FA will decide to for Liverpool to take everton's place next year

[ChodaBoy]

What ever they decide will only anger each side's fan's

[Rancid Dan]

Liverpool won't win it anyway :p

And we beat you 1-0 recently so........

[chumpradio]

even if they don't the FA will decide to for Liverpool to take everton's place next year
I don't think this is fair, but I also seriously doubt Liverpool will win the Champions League, so there is no problem.
Can't believe Everton finished 4th, I am so happy.

[Rancid Dan]

Congrats.

You were very lucky yesterday btw.

[ChodaBoy]

Liverpool won't win it anyway :p

And we beat you 1-0 recently so........
Beat who?

[chumpradio]

Congrats.

You were very lucky yesterday btw.
2-0?
It wasn't luck. :cool: :p

[Rancid Dan]

Beat who?

Liverpool.

Robert wonder free-kick :cool:

It seems so stupid thinking of Everton in the Champs League.

I heard that if Liverpool win the Champs League then there won't be a competition next year ?

[Iai]

That's people over-reacting. Though, in a way, they have a point - it can't really be called the 'Champions League' when the champions aren't even in it.

[Britney Diva]

That's people over-reacting. Though, in a way, they have a point - it can't really be called the 'Champions League' when the champions aren't even in it.

True, but it can't really be called the Champion's League when the 6th place tea m are in it either. At times I wish they'd go back to just the actual league winners, or at least scrap the "Champion's League" name. Odd that they changed the name around the same period they started to allow non-Champions in.

[Ganondorf]

It's only a name, don't have to take it so seriously

[sting-ray]

it's the best teams in europe in theory. The elite leagues like Italy, England, and Spain (which, in spain's case, i disagree with) are awarded with 4 places from the top 2 qualify automatically (you have to keep in mind that qualification for the CL is not the CL itself) and then france and Germany have 3 places (top 2 once again qualify automatically). This is because say Juve plays against Mitdjylland or Aarhus, or even the Georgian champions, it will be a blowout. However, all winners of their leagues have some sort of chance of qualification at least. Besides the fact that i think that Germany should be awarded a 4th spot rather than England a 5th, it's relatively well layed out. For teams that cannot match up to the CL level there is the Uefa cup and Intertoto cup, which still allows them a taste of european football.

I think Germany is ready for a 4th seed in the CL because if you look at Werder Bremen, their massive profit on the CL this year has allowed them to possibly win the bundesliga next year by acquiring many key players. Just 3 years ago Werder Bremen was fighting to stay in the top flight but now they have established themselves as a big team in germany with the second or third highest payroll, successive seasons qulifying for europe, and a bundesliga title in the midst of it all. Allowing a 4th team would see an exciting brand of football become more and more competitive.

[Ganondorf]

What exactly is the InterToto Cup?

[sting-ray]

its an odd competetiton... you often get 2nd division teams in it. Its has 3 eventual winners that participate in the Uefa Cup. The aim is to enable the weaker teams to try out european competition. In other cases, big teams like Borussia Dortmund that won't even qualify for the Uefa cup and are desperate because of fianancial reasons, will try to get a place in the Uefa cup.

[Rancid Dan]

So will Newcastle :upset:

I hate the UEFA Cup though, the champions league is so much better and prestigious.

I REALLY hope we get into the champions league is two seasons

[Ganondorf]

Would WBA do well in it? :p

[sting-ray]

So will Newcastle :upset:

I hate the UEFA Cup though, the champions league is so much better and prestigious.

I REALLY hope we get into the champions league is two seasons


haha i know the feeling.. werder bremen looks like they'll get a Uefa cup spot at most.. the Uefa cup isn't even televised here.. and there are many unknown teams that participate.. the only chance is to win it all and play the european supercup against the winner of the champions league.. for some sort of consolation. But still it's a bitter feeling to qualify for the Uefa cup rather than the CL.

[Rancid Dan]

We can't even make the UEFA Cup.

It's either Inter Toto or nothing.

Best we can get is 11th

[sting-ray]

Would WBA do well in it? :p


you'd be surprised hahaha Alemannia Aachen got to like the quarter-finals of the Uefa Cup and almost got past Alkmaar... and they're in the mid-bottom half of the Bundesliga second division. I don't know about the FA though and if they would let west brom participate in the Intertoto.. but i think they could qualify if they set themselves to it this summer.

[Rancid Dan]

No.

West Brom wouldn't win it :p

[sting-ray]

We can't even make the UEFA Cup.

It's either Inter Toto or nothing.

Best we can get is 11th


i guess it's ok since you get to follow your team in the summer and there are 3 spots up for grabs... but getting eliminated from the inter toto would be devastating. Newcastle is a good european team though.

is Kluivert leaving for sure?

[Rancid Dan]

I think so.

Why ?

Do you rate him ?

[sting-ray]

well, although he had a rough first season, i think that he is not a bad player.. and has more to offer for newcastle but whatever bellamy is having a good season... maybe he will return in style

[Rancid Dan]

He won't come back if Souness is still manager

[sting-ray]

hmm so the situation is more complicated than i thought

[Rancid Dan]

Yeah, we will need to buy some new strikers.

Yakubu, Johnson, Defoe, Crouch, maybe ?

[Adam Jones is GOD]

So 12 players are leaving our club, or being transfer listed. Its going to be a fresh new start, which means its going to be a weird new season in all.

[sting-ray]

which team ?

[Rancid Dan]

I think Newcastle will get rid of loads of players/transfer list requests.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Nottingham Forest. You know, the lowest placed team to ever win the European Cup

Its been a bad season


Edit: To Sting Ray

[sting-ray]

haha oh ok

[Rancid Dan]

Nottingham Forest

[sting-ray]

they were in the premier league like 4 years ago weren't they?

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Yup. And in Europe over a decade ago. Last european game was vs Bayern Munich. We lost 8 - 2 on aggregate.

[sting-ray]

haha tough luck

[Britney Diva]

Yup. And in Europe over a decade ago. Last european game was vs Bayern Munich. We lost 8 - 2 on aggregate.

Jeremy Goss. He was famous for about two weeks, because he scored two great volleys, then faded away very quickly. To this day, he's still the highest-achieving person ever to emerge from Wales.

[Kickflip_Burrito]

Selling Matt Dawson and Andy Reid (it is Andy isn't it?) to Tottenham wasn't exactly great for Forest either.

[Britney Diva]

Yeah, it's Andy. Fantastic player.

[Lord Abortion]

defoe to newcastle???

ha! why would he?
they couldn't afford him anyway... he's worth about 22 mill IMO

another embarassing draw against a piss poor side, we have to beat chelsea tonight to rectify another terrible season

it could be worse... at least I'm not a newcastle fan...

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Jeremy Goss. He was famous for about two weeks, because he scored two great volleys, then faded away very quickly. To this day, he's still the highest-achieving person ever to emerge from Wales.

Paul mcGregor had his 15 minutes of fame that season too. Scored from a rare Stuart Pearce penalty miss. Then faded away towards the end of the season.

Piss poor? That's why your players have done **** all this season? Why you couldn't put one past our SUB goalie? Nice job.

[Kickflip_Burrito]

Any predictions on the score tonight?

I have a feeling it'll be 1-1

[Rancid Dan]

Piss poor? That's why your players have done **** all this season? Why you couldn't put one past our SUB goalie? Nice job.

Ha, if he had of went of straight away you would have won.

And btw we could afford 22 mill

[Ganondorf]

Afford 22 mill? what does that mean? :confused:

[Rancid Dan]

Someone said that Defoe is worth 22 million

[jaymz_is_god]

Fergie needs to get out now. This is not good enough. We need someone with new ideas and a fresh approach. As much as Fergie has accomplished, and however good he was, it just isn't good enough anymore. 18 points dropped against sides in the bottom half of the table? It's a joke.

[Rancid Dan]

Blame it on your players, not him.

[jaymz_is_god]

I blame Fergie because it was him who brought the players to the club, such as Kleberson, Bellion, Fortune (how he is still there I do not know) etc. etc. If he had've brought in some talented footballers, we could maybe be challenging Chelsea. The only 2 good buys Fergie has made in the past few years have been Heinze and van Nistelrooy, and possibly Ronaldo, but he's been too inconsistent to be considered a good buy at £12m, and £30m was far too much for Rio. Rooney hasn't made enough of an impact yet to justify his price tag. It's a pity we don't have much money this summer because if big improvements aren't made, I'm afraid we might slip further behind Chelsea.

[Kickflip_Burrito]

I sorta agree with you jaymz, Fergie really does need to buy some established world class players. Rooney is just settling in, in my opinion. He'll find his form next season.
Its sad to see Alan Smith not being given a large share of matches, when he's on top form he plays so well.

Just seen the score, 3-1, wow, Chelsea still pushing even after winning the title.....or were United just that crap tonight?

[Britney Diva]

All those players are talented, but sometimes players just don't fit in. Others are just overrated sacks of **** like Rio "I can pass the ball but don't ask me to defend a corner" Ferdinand.

Ronaldo - Inconsistent, yes, but he's a tremendous talent, and has improved immensely in the two seasons he's been at the club. In 5 years he'll be at his peak, and United will be very pleased to have him.

Rooney - Of course Rooney's done enough to justify his price tag, his existence alone justifies it. He's the best player England has produced since Gazza, he may even be better with time. Against Chelsea today he was the only player who looked like he wanted to win. Once again, in 5 years...

Rio - shoot him.

[sting-ray]

chelsea supposedly wants Dede from borussia dortmund they need a leftback

[Britney Diva]

They do, but England's work permit laws are very strict. He needs to have played 3/4 of his country's international games in the last year or two, and he hasn't. Supposedly, Chelsea are trying to organise a German passport for him, as he's lived there for quite a few years now.

[Kickflip_Burrito]

Mourinho said he wants 3 new players this summer.

[Lord Abortion]

Mourinho said he wants 3 new players this summer.
mourinho can **** off...

this comes into the "lowest I've ever felt football-wise" category

how poor was the second half performance??

Rio- "the best defender in the world" according to his agent - if he had told a more blatant lie then he may have spontaniously combusted...

rooney is brilliant, as is ronaldo, everyone else has been terrible recently (bar heinze)

I wish we had kept veron, he was just getting into his stride and could actually pass the ball...

the board MUST pay out or face another season of this piss poor football
and by pay out I mean about £50 million for a new striker, defensive midfielder, goalkeeper and attacking midfielder.

suggestions- aimar, casillas, torres, joaquin, van der vaart, rosicky, schweinsteiger, pirlo, gatusso, buffon, martins,

we don't want "potentially good" we want quality players

[poorquality]

Well...that was the worst united game I've ever been to see...I figured as much when I saw a 4-5-1 formation again with Ruud as our frontman...sure he scored...but 4-5-1 doesn't work...we need two upfront...when we have rooney, smith, saha, ruud (when on form...which isnt now....smith should of started) we can't just play one of them...these are meant to be top class strikers..if so why don't we try playing them :) People were chanting for fergie to bring smith on halfway during the game...so he bought saha on..didnt make much difference...we actually looked like pulling it back to 2-2 at some points

But then..in comes van nistelrooy...running to the left of the goal, gets tackled..throws himself down dramatically..next thing you know lampards crossing it and its 3-1 chelsea :) Cheers ruud.

We were doing fine with rooney and smith upfront...the milan game where ruud was rushed back threw us off....meh terrible season, if we play like this against arsenal...goodbye FA Cup

Bring on next season...

[Ganondorf]

Tiago's goal was class.

[Rancid Dan]

Stop Complaining Man U :)

[sting-ray]

raphael van der vaart has been in contact with Hamburger SV (HSV) It seems like they really want him badly.. i wouldn't be surprised if the transfer is made/

[Rancid Dan]

Also Liverpool are supposedly trying to sign him.

[poorquality]

I havent seen any of the goals properly :P Tiagos was at the other end of the pitch, couldnt see properly...looked like it was class though, I thought personally Man U's goal and Chelseas 3rd both looked offside from where I was sitting...dunno though, havent seen replays

[ChodaBoy]

Huth getting hit in the balls! :lol: shame it hit his leg first, took away some of the speed

[metal-militia]

raphael van der vaart has been in contact with Hamburger SV (HSV) It seems like they really want him badly.. i wouldn't be surprised if the transfer is made/

He's very highly rated, and i've heard a few clubs are after him.

Thank god United lost last night. 3 points for Saints on Sunday! :)

[red barchetta]

it ain't gonna happen.. southampton are going down. finally.

[Britney Diva]

He's very highly rated, and i've heard a few clubs are after him.

I wouldn't be so confident, Southampton are, after all, well... ****. Plus United will want to finish the year on somewhat of a high.

[sting-ray]

i have a feeling that crystal palace will stay up

[Rancid Dan]

All Norwich have to do is win to stay up.

And they will.

[sting-ray]

chelsea might go after Gilardino... he's a great young sensation but i don't know if he'll fit into the epl smoothly

[Rancid Dan]

Blah, we have Chelsea on Saturday, last game of the worst season ever.

[Ganondorf]

Norwich haven't won away from home, don't see them starting now.

[jcxstargazer]

The Arse 2-0 up already!

[Rancid Dan]

Norwich haven't won away from home, don't see them starting now.

Last game of the season.
Win to stay up.
I think they will :thumb:

[Ganondorf]

No, they suck away. Seriously. Had too much luck recently, it's gonna run out. They'll draw at best.

[Rancid Dan]

That's what you want to think

[Ganondorf]

stfu Newcastle :p

[sting-ray]

Norwich haven't won away from home, don't see them starting now.


hahaha

[sting-ray]

who is Norwich playing against anyway?

[jcxstargazer]

Fulham

[Rancid Dan]

Norwich have shown the best spirit, the want to win and the best forrm in the last month or so, seeing as though everyone had them written off and they were rock bottom.

Norwich WILL stay up.

You have my word.

[sting-ray]

oh ok... i foresee a draw

[Rancid Dan]

Woah, Arsenal are destroying Everton.

3-0 and not yet half time

[sting-ray]

haha wow

[Rancid Dan]

5-0 now

[poorquality]

Arsenal 5-0 up now....god

EDIT: Got beat to it :P`

[poorquality]

7-0, becomming a bit of a joke

[jcxstargazer]

I've heard of being owned. But ffs they are masters.

Good luck to the Toffees in the champs league! :lol:

[poorquality]

it's over...everton can finally goto the dressing room and slit their wrists :) nah i'm joking, but god...they gotta be really depressed after that...

[sting-ray]

7-0 is more than embarassing even at this stage of the season..

[devils_night]

7-0 really, i was gonna watch it but it was on ppv, not normal sky sports

[jcxstargazer]

Yea. Darn Prem+

[devils_night]

Annoying because my mum won't pay up the £6 or whatever it is unless its Newcastle

[Iai]

Holy ****.

[Britney Diva]

7-0?? Oh my God, if only my phone worked :(

This shouldn't overshadow their success so far. They finished 4th because they were the 4th best team in the league this year, they earned it. I imagine both teams had taken their feet off the pedal, their places being secure etc.

[sting-ray]

heh armenia bielefeld look like an early relegation bet in the bundesliga. 3 key players + the coach left.

[Ganondorf]

:lol: Well played Arsenal.

[Lord Abortion]

bloody hell

7-0 is a bit of a pisstake, for the fourth placed side to lose that badly is quite shocking

[jcxstargazer]

United have all but been bought by Glazer now. Im a City fan, but still know that its a shame. People buying all these clubs is ruining football.

[Rancid Dan]

Evertln are a joke to a champions league team.

[red barchetta]

^the team might be a joke, but the manager is no joke

[Rancid Dan]

Yeah, i seriously can't see them doing well at all in the Champ league.

[red barchetta]

they need to buy some world class players

[metal-militia]

All Norwich have to do is win to stay up.

And they will.

And how many times have they won away this seaon?
Exactly.

I think Saints will prbably draw and stay up on GD.

[Britney Diva]

Everton have alot of money now. If they buy the right players...

[guitarbaz]

7-0 really, i was gonna watch it but it was on ppv, not normal sky sports

7-0....lmfao!

made my night that.


welcome back. :thumb:

[Rancid Dan]

Yeah, haven't seen you in here in ages.

[Agitated_Barry]

Bergkamp had a brilliant game, better than most of Reyes' season, and there are still doubts as to whether they will let him stay just for one more year.

[Rancid Dan]

Ha, so it's impossible for them to do so.

"Make a ****ing bonfire, put the yorkies on the top, put the Scunnies in the middle and burn the ****ing lot"

Grimsby have the greatest chants :lol:

[Iai]

United have all but been bought by Glazer now.
Where'd you hear that?

Best chant I can remember, from the 1996 FA Cup Final -

"Cheer up Kevin Keegan,
Oh what can it mean,
To a sad Geordie bastard
And a **** football team?"

Sorry. :(

[poorquality]

Oh well United are screwed, Glazer gets in huge dept in loans to buy united, gets out of his loan through united...and hopes to become rich....he doesnt follow football, and i dont even think he understands it...the american football team he owns finished like near bottom last season.....we're screwed....Atleast chelsea have someone who genuinely wants to help the club..

[upthebracket]

I'm not a Man U fan, so I'm pretty neutral on this, but I don't think Glazer will be as much of a disaster as people might think. He's a hugely successful businessman after all, he wouldn't buy the club if he didn't think he (and the club) could profit.

Kinda reminds me of when Fergus McCann took over at Celtic. Didn't know the first thing about football or Celtic, but he took us from the brink of bankrupcy, and built us a 60,000 seater stadium, and left with a tidy profit.
Either way, the numerous death threats I've heard about from Utd fans (some directed at TalkSport presenters for some reason) have been out of order...



edit: Also, after he bought his Tampa American football team, he wasn't too popular with the fans, still they won the Superbowl, so he can't be that bad.

[Britney Diva]

Kinda reminds me of when Fergus McCann took over at Celtic. Didn't know the first thing about football or Celtic, but he took us from the brink of bankrupcy, and built us a 60,000 seater stadium, and left with a tidy profit.

This is the opposite situation. Utd are in a very comfortable financial situation, and if Glazer's plan doesn't work out, the club could potentially go under. He's borrowing hundreds of millions of pounds and using the club as security.

[Master guitarist123]

This is going to be my first time im going to play football for my high school. I weigh 130
and im in shape and run really fast and im five foot six .
what position should do you recomend that i should play?

[Master guitarist123]

It depends what areas you play the best at.

P.s. I hope you dont mean American football, this is the real football thread, soccer

oh crap then never mind

Speaking of Inter, what in hell was all that about, at the CL 2nd leg? You'd think the authorities would have banned those flares by now, this has been going on for years in Italy.

[sting-ray]

yea, I don't know though.. i personally like flares but if it causes bodily harm to the players then measures should be taken. It was disappointing but the punishment was also hefty.

[Rancid Dan]

Flares are stupid.

You can't take your family to an italian or spanish football match, because of them, and other stupid things, you can to a Premeirship match.

[sting-ray]

the crowd is different in italy... you see mostly adolescents and young adults..

werder.de forum pwns

[poorquality]

As soon as glazer puts his debt onto united, thats 240-560 mil of debt...he'll raise ticket prices, and then to make it sound like he's doing nothing wrong will announce "Well i'm only bringing the prices up to match the other top premiership teams like arsenal and chelsea".

Then he'll probably pay for mutv to show all uniteds matches live, champs league, fa cup and prem etc, then force sky or bbc to pay if they want to show the games themselves, which would get united alot more money...which he could do if he made the club a private affair...meh It could go really badly...or it could actually go well...if this plan goes through, united would be making more income than ever before, because at the same ticket price as chelsea, fans will still pay...filling the ground every game, he could make a lot of money.

Also he's not stupid, he's in it to make money, to make money united have to be successful, so he'll have top range coaches and everything assisting him...and he'll bring in a new manager, rumour has it fergies retiring after the FA Cup final now...meh

It could be good it could be bad..the next 3 years will be highly significant...

[sting-ray]

Whenever I see a flare at a football match now, I know its not a good sign. It says something when all of these european teams, and some middle eastern teams have 8 foot fences to stop the fans.


lol, almost all the german stadiums have those fences behind each net.

[sting-ray]

i think the key is making tv stations pay more for the games... like german leagues are not getting what they coyuld fifnancially because of low television revenues be it local or abroad. English teams will ask for more in future negotiations as well.

[Illmatic]

Glazer took the Tampa Bay Yuckaneers and turned them into Super Bowl champions, so it's not like he's some schmuck who ruins teams.

Plus, he's not an idiot, he may be in it for the money but he wants to protect his investment, so he'll keep Man U competitive.

[poorquality]

Thing is...if premiership teams break away from the grouped deal, because to be fair..they shouldnt bunch a group of companies together as a single unit and offer them television rights, so teams will demand rights individually from tv...which would mean disaster for smaller teams...think about it....Man United vs Arsenal...or Wigan vs Southampton?

The only guarenteed high payed teams would be the top 4 or 5...rest would be worse off than ever

[sting-ray]

i dunno... maybe the revenue can be shared or something.. there are many possibilities.

[Rancid Dan]

Big day tommorow... come you Saints!! :thumb:

[Rancid Dan]

You know you won't make it. :p

But seriously though, my condolences go out to you.

[Rancid Dan]

It's 'rolleyes' btw.

Tomorow will be the most dissapointing day for me.

[Iai]

West Ham must be gutted.

2 up after 15 minutes, and you really should win the game. Credit to Joe Royle, though.

[Iai]

By the way, what's the goal difference like? I'm thinking what will happen if Norwich draw and WBA win, which is what I'm predicting will happen.

[poorquality]

Yay Barca win

and as for tomorrow..united have to go out there and prove to the fans this glazer thing wont effect their playing ability, and send a strong message to arsenal to watch out for the coming saturday...Normally in this situation, with united having no place to gain if they win, i'd want the saints to win and stay up...but in this situation...i hope united tear 'em apart.

Yeah, United need a confidence boost for next week. Normally, I would like Southampton to win, because I respect Harry Redknapp enormously and want to see him in the Premiership, but United really need the win.

17 Norwich -29
18 Southampton -20
19 Crystal Palace -21
20 West Brom -27

[sting-ray]

oooo looks cloes

why? they have nothing to play for.

Saints must win! I cant imagine not being in the premiership :(

[jaymz_is_god]

They do have something to play for.

[red barchetta]

if either palace or norwich stay up, i'll be happy.

[Rancid Dan]

Newcastle have NOTHING to play for.

I had a dream last night that Southampton stayed up somehow.

[red barchetta]

southampton have stayed up somehow for quite some time now

newcastle have to do something for their fans for such a dreadful season

[Ganondorf]

Yeah that's what I thought

[Iai]

17 Norwich -29
18 Southampton -20
19 Crystal Palace -21
20 West Brom -27
Ouch.

I want Norwich to stay up, but honestly, I think Albion will.

[red barchetta]

at half time:

norwich 0 -2 fulham
southampton 1 - 1 man u
charlton 1 - 0 palace
west brom 0 - 0 portsmouth

[Iai]

Man U are playing Soton off the pitch, apparently. And Fulham nearly scored a third just when I put the radio on.

All Brom need is to sneak a goal, and hope Man U do the same. Norwich really need everyone else to lose. :(

At the moment, Soton are staying up on goal difference.

[red barchetta]

man u WILL score in the second half.

[Iai]

Man U, Palace and Albion all just scored!

WBA stay up if it stays like this.

[Iai]

I'm listened to 5ive Live.

/can't believe I just typed '5ive'.

[Iai]

Yup, I can imagine. What does that mean now? Palace staying up if it stays like this?

[Iai]

Albion are 2-0 up now.

[Iai]

Charlton equalize!!!

[Iai]

Yup, it is.

[Iai]

Within the next 7 minutes -

If it stays the same, Brom stay up.
If Palace score, they're up.
If Brom concede 2 and nothing else changes, Norwich stay up.
If Southampton score and Brom concede 2, they stay up.

I think that's right.

Christ. Norwich are losing 5 - 0.

[Iai]

The Palace - Charlton game will decide everything. It all depends on whether Palace score.

Norwich and Soton are gone, surely.

[Iai]

Hooray, I was right!!!

[Iai]

More drama! Man City penalty....if they score it, they're in Europe.

And Fowler misses!!!

[Iai]

Who's in Europe now, then? Middlesbrough?

All the Southampton fans have stayed to applaud the team. Nicely done.

[Agitated_Barry]

Well done City, Pearce has done so well for them and they were just unlucky in the end

[Ganondorf]

OH YEAH, come on West Brom!!! :D

Well played to Saints, Norwich and Palace though :)

[red barchetta]

unlucky to palace... they lacked concentration in the last few minutes

good luck to saints, norwich and palace next season

[Rancid Dan]

Good last day.

Up the Brom

[metal-militia]

:upset: :upset: Well next season we have to look forward to trips to Hull and Luton, instead of Chelsea and Arsenal.

I cant believe it. At H/T it looked like we would make it....

[Iai]

Hey, you're gonna visit me! :wave:

Oh wait, I'll have left Luton by then. :upset:

[metal-militia]

i live just up the road from Luton anyway :p

Quite a few championship teams around here, so the only good thing is that i will hopefully go more often.

[Rancid Dan]

Unlucky.

Hull owns.

[metal-militia]

Quiet you. No European football for Newcastle next season. All hail Boro... the kings of the north. :p

[Rancid Dan]

Oh no, i'm being insulted by a supporter of a team who just got relegated. :lol:

I win.

(btw, we are entering the inter-toto to get into the UEFA )

[poorquality]

Hm cool :o I live in luton, might go see luton at home to southampton next season...hard luck today though

thank god for ruud :) though fletchers goal was a great bit of work...surprised he was left unmarked.

Unlucky Norwich :P the only team who decided their own fate, and they decided that it belonged in a lower division :P after they went 2-0 they went all out attack with nothing else to play for as they needed the goals....bang bang...6-0 fulham...delia smith must be gutted

[metal-militia]

(btw, we are entering the inter-toto to get into the UEFA )

:lol: Desperate eh? :p

Dont worry, Saints will be back. An easy 3 points for you if we do though, we always get slaughtered up at Newcastle. :upset:

[Rancid Dan]

Ha.

I know you will come back, i hope we get Crouch now :p

Leeds will get promoted next year though.

[metal-militia]

[QUOTE=Rancid Dan]

I'm sure he will leave, but why do you need him. You have Shearer/Kluivert/Ameobi/Bellamy (if he ever comes back). I'd gladly take one of them. :)

[Rancid Dan]

Leeds?
Im suprised they werent relegated

They were well off relegatin and have a good squad and will get into the playoffs at least next year.

[Fagmop]

So glad to see Southampton go down, they always give the Gooners a fright, we almost took just 1 pont off of them this season, and then they play Chelsea and just not even bother to work for it.

[MILF Hunter]

Quiet you. No European football for Newcastle next season. All hail Boro... the kings of the north. :p

oi! everyone knows darlington are the kings of the north

[GoM]

Preston won their first leg of the playoff semis 2-0....come onnnnnnn North End kick the living crap outta Derby again Thursday :cool:

[sting-ray]

1-0 inter over livorno :cool:

[sting-ray]

i'll update the Kicker mx tomorrow

[red barchetta]

Kluiverts a gonner. hes already said hes not staying
same with robert and bellamy i think

but then, from the money they get after the departures, newcastle can buy some quality players. they'll have at least 20million to spend for the summer

[Lord Abortion]

hooray... a man u win!
ruud will return to form next year, my life would be complete if he was part of a front 3 with torres and rooney...

the relegation issue was the most exciting and interesting in premiership history methinks- and bad luck to all teams going down... especially norwich, what other director would sit with the ordinary fans- well done delia for being fun to watch all season

well done carlisle too ( my local team) back in the football league where they belong

[Untitled]

Well, Man U is officialy Glazers now.....

He has 75% of the share now.

[metal-militia]

So glad to see Southampton go down, they always give the Gooners a fright, we almost took just 1 pont off of them this season, and then they play Chelsea and just not even bother to work for it.

Lies. They always try, but Chelsea are jut better than Arsenal. :p
Arsenal needed injury time to get a point off Saints at Highbury. :lol:

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

who cares, arsenal finished comfortably second. Southampton are long gone :wave:

I wonder what kind of a fuss Henri Camara will kick up now. He's a good player, but his attitude is disgarceful

[Lord Abortion]

that was surpriing that he got a hat-trick in the tsunami charity mach...

[metal-militia]

I care.

Why's his attitude bad? :confused:
He's a pretty good player but he can never finish.

[red barchetta]

that was surpriing that he got a hat-trick in the tsunami charity mach...
its because he was playing in a team with good players

so, the season's over. what was your highlight of the season?

[Rancid Dan]

Beating Chelsea in the FA Cup Quarters.

Biggest dissapointment : Getting knocked out of the uefa CUP.

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

I care.

Why's his attitude bad? :confused:
He's a pretty good player but he can never finish.

He refused to play for wolves (i think that was it) because they got relegated, and then forced a transfer for himself to cltic. He then jut walked out a celtic because he felt he wasn't being played enough, and was behind hartson and sutton in the pecking order. He didn't even let anyone know he had gone when he walked out on celtic

[metal-militia]

Sky sports news has some fit women on there. That Georgie Thompson or whatever she's called is the best. :naughty:

[Lord Abortion]

man utd... another season of undrachievement populated with inconsistent form and idiot signings

highpoints- another cup final, rooney/ronaldo/heinze/fletcher are a strong force for the future, outplaying chelsea twice in the worthington cup

bad points- 3rd place is not enough- especially considering we beat arsenal home and away, no money to spend during the summer, idiot signings and quinton fortune (why is he good enough to be there?), the fact that we realise that rio was overpriced and can't , in fact, defend, chelsea's form, injuries to key players in crucial stages of the season, so many more...

[bonzos dog]

dont you all think stuart pearce just the man for super city?them players dare,nt lose ,the way he makes subs,,we,ll all get a game next season.i think i love him.

[red barchetta]

Hell yes. Shes an A*
you know it :naughty:

[Ganondorf]

Alex Hammond is pretty good

[Rancid Dan]

Looks like Moscow are going to win the UEFA Cup...

:angry:

[poorquality]

and looks like West Ham are through to the playoff final ...2-0 up against ipswitch...aggrigate 4-2

[metal-militia]

Bah... i want Ipswich to win so i can easily go to London to see Saints vs Hammers next season.

[sting-ray]

uefa cup heh ... CSKA is....say.. not a good team. i'll leave it at that.

[sting-ray]

I'm the biggest hannover 96 fan that i ever was at this time. If they can manage to tie or beat Hertha bsc Berlin, werder will be through to the CL next year :cooL:

[sting-ray]

looks like Inter will go after (and probably get ) PSV's Alex

[MILF Hunter]

Sky sports news has some fit women on there. That Georgie Thompson or whatever she's called is the best. :naughty:

Definatly :naughty:

[Rancid Dan]

Preston NE v West Ham for promotion to the premiership

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

It's got to be Preston, i hate West Ham

[Rancid Dan]

I'm not bothered tbh.

It would be good to see them i it as i can't remember seen them in the premiership..

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

the playoffs, although exciting, are so wrong. Ipswich finished a clear 12 points clear of WH this season, and still WH have the opportunity to go into the Premiership

[Rancid Dan]

I agree.

Ipswich should have been promoted...

[MILF Hunter]

Nugent who plays for Preston is a quality player. I was impressed with him when I saw him play for Bury earlier last season

[Lord Abortion]

del horno is close to chelsea


and the hammers will go up

Ouch.

I so badly want Man U to win tomorrow. And Arsene Wenger to get shot and killed. By Malcom Glazier. No, wait....by Theirry Henry, who then rips his shirt to reveal a Man U shirt, and celebrates with a merry dance with Malcom Glazier.

You already are an arse fan adam.

I want them to win, becuase i hate utd. But the F1 is on tomorrow, so i wont be watching.

[Kickflip_Burrito]

I'm an Arsenal fan but I reckon United will nick it, I can just see the Gunners bottling under the pressure.
