Euro 2008 (Official Man City LOL Thread)

[red barchetta]

i doubt arsenal will be able to score without henry, even if heize is injured



but i want them to win...

[Kickflip_Burrito]

We don't have Reyes either do we?

[Rancid Dan]

What a joke.... Arsenal sole it.

Ruud played the worst match ever.

The only reason i'm pissed off is because i lost £5.....:angry:

[poorquality]

Didnt see the game, i was at work, but sky sports say united dominated 120 mins and if it wasnt for lehmenn united would of destroyed arsenal...how bad was it?

Why scholes :( why miss

[Rancid Dan]

Put it this way, apart from the penaltys arsenal had NO shots on target !!

[Ganondorf]

Come on Arsenal :p

[sting-ray]

Those penalties were taken very well on Arsenal's side.

[sting-ray]

WERDER BREMEN ARE IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

hertha berlin 0-0 hannover 96
Stuttgart 1-3 Bayern
Kaiserslautern 1-2 WERDER!

yes that means we sneak through, finishing the year one point ahead of Stuttgart and Hertha

[Rancid Dan]

Well done !!

[sting-ray]

hahah thx

[Rancid Dan]

Shame about Newcaste struggling to get into the UEFA Cup though....:upset:

[Iai]

Why scholes :( why miss
Cruel as it may seem, if a Man U player had to miss, I'm so glad it was Scholes. If it had been Rooney or Ronaldo, or even Nistelrooy, they'd have been distraught.

[red barchetta]

What a joke.... Arsenal sole it.

Ruud played the worst match ever.

The only reason i'm pissed off is because i lost £5.....:angry:
okay, so how many bets is that you've lost this season?

[metal-militia]

Arsenal were awful today, they were very lucky. I cant believe that Ruud chance got headed onto the bar.

[Britney Diva]

I've never seen a top side play as poorly as Arsenal did today, at least not since the last Liverpool match. Lehmann was the only Arsenal player to perform well, the rest of the side was a really bad, overpaid joke. How a team could actually celebrate winning after putting on that shitshow for their fans is beyond me. If I was in the side I'd be apologising to them.

[Rage Against The Lavigne]

There seems to be a bit of confusion as to the rules of football between man utd fans. You see, to win a game of football you actually need to score more goals than the opposition.

It may come as a surprise to find out that the referee is not obliged to add time onto the clock, award penalties arbitrarily and simply give the match to you because you played better and your team are worth more.

However, I'm sure you are all genuinely suffering from the perceived injustice of yesterday so let me just add this:

Ha ha.

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Very well put indeed.^^

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

I hate that goalkeeper and i hate newcastle. They'll probably sign him then

[Rancid Dan]

Newcastle = Great Team

Ricardo = Great Keeper

[Rancid Dan]

usUck

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Newcastle= irritating team, over rated, has beens. Bad chairmen, bad players.

Ricardo= over rated keeper, annoying as f'uck

[Rancid Dan]

Who do you support ?

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Arsenal....

[metal-militia]

Newcastle= irritating team, over rated, has beens. Bad chairmen, bad players.


Mostly true, but shhhhh, Rancid Dan may try to kill you. ;)

[Rancid Dan]

Arsenal....

Ha, you say Newcastle have irritating players and are has-beens....

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Ha, you say Newcastle have irritating players and are has-beens....

You say that, but i can't help but notice arsenal are FA cup winners, and finished second in the premiership. They are currently buliding a new stadium and have qualified directly for the champions league.

Newcastle have players fighting their team mates, players sending texts to their club captain laughing at the fact thjat they got knocked out of cups, an out of date chairmen, and are playing in the intertoto cup next season

[Dead Star]

Is it just me who follows Scottish football?

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

I can't believe celtic threw that game away

[Dead Star]

/Motherwell supporter.

:D

Out of date chairman ?

Arsanal have always been good, but everyone amkes out that Arseanl are the best in England, you WERE.

You beat us twice this season, very luckily and close .

Newcastle have never been amazing, we finsihed 3rd a couple of seaons ago.

Arseanl barely have any English players in their 1st team squad.

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Arsenal have always given english talent a chance, as long as it is good enough to improve the team. See how Ashley Cole kept Silvinho out of the team.

You chairman is awful, always makes Newcastle out to be the greatest club ever.

Arsenal would be the best team in england, and would have won the premiership if we had not struggled with injuries to key players in the middle of the season, and had money to strengthen the squad.

We beat you twice, close results, but still beat you. I don't see what was so lucky, both teams could've had penalties in one match and i can't remember anything controversial about the other game.

[Rancid Dan]

Our Chaiman has A LOT of money.

I see that Ashley Cole is the only English player you mentioned.

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

So what? Why should teams be obliged to buy English players that aren't good enough to get into the first team. We've brought through/signed Campbell, Jeffers, Pennant, Taylor, Upson, Cole, Hoyte and Smith over the last few years.

Newcastle are hardly saints are they, look at their recent singnings.

And the english players you have bought have caused nothing but trouble.

[Rancid Dan]

Milner, Ambrose, Dyer, Jenas, Bowyer, Taylor, Ramage, Butt, Elliot, Shearer, Harper, Bramble, Ameobi are some English players in out team and two of them have caused trouble.

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Dyer, Jenas, Bowyer and Bramble have all caused trouble for you.

And as signings, Jenas, Ambrose, Milner, Bramble, Butt etc have really brought the team on leaps and bounds. :rolleyes:

I mean seriously, this argument gets so tiring. It's all bitter teams having a go at clubs that intelligently buy good players. Bolton have survived in the premiership purely from brining in experienced foreigners on loan each year. Same as all the other promoted clubs. Manchester United haven't bought an english man for years, aside from Alan smith and it's not like he's been a big hit. (and Rooney who was a massive signing)

English players are over priced, and not as good as people make them out to be. The fact is that all the best english players are already key players for big clubs, and many don't have the money to spend on these players.

[Rancid Dan]

What have Jenas and Bramble done to cause us trouble ?

And as signings, Jenas, Ambrose, Milner, Bramble, Butt etc have really brought the team on leaps and bounds.

Actually they are great players, seeing as though most of them are under 22 years old, they have a lot of prospect.

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Bramble has been invloved in a lot of night club scraps etc along with Dyer and Jenas.

I'm sure they arae great players, proff of that is the fact that the seasons following their signings have resulted in you rapidly slipping down the league

[Rancid Dan]

wtf, we've had Jenas, Dyer, Milner etc.. for ages....

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

You've had milner for 2 seasons (i think), hardly ages.

I have no idea what your talking about now, the fact remains that the best english players will never lleave the clubs they are at, and therefore are unrealistic transfer targets.

People saying thatarsenal don't sign or develop english players are wrong, and it's a petty and bitter argument none the less

[Rancid Dan]

It's not wrong at all.

Any way let's move on.

Milan will win the Camps league 3-1 i think.

[Iai]

I think Liverpool will outplay Milan the whole game, deserve the win completely, but that Milan will steal the game with a ****ty win on penalties.

[Rancid Dan]

Heh, sounds familiar.

[Britney Diva]

I think Liverpool will outplay Milan the whole game, deserve the win completely, but that Milan will steal the game with a ****ty win on penalties.

You seem to have mislabelled the teams.

[red barchetta]

milan's attack will totally terrorize liverpool's defence. shevchenko, kaka, crespo, gattuso, pirlo...

then again, liverpool's attack will be effective against milan's defence.

i say 3-2 to milan

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

F'ucking hell, you are expecting a good game aren't you? I wouldn't be suprised if you are very disappointed.

I think it'll be 1-0 to milan probably. Both sides have defended well over the season, even though milan looked a bit shakey against PSV.

[skateMASTERbater2]

i hope for Liverpool to win, i dislike italian football. It probably won't happen unless Ac. are as weak as they were against PSV. I still think it's a shame PSV didn't get through , it would have made a nice final

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

I didn't know you were a footy fan?^^

I really hope Pool win, they've played their Champions League campaign brilliantly and it would be amazing to see an English club do so well in europe (i only say that cos it's not chelsea or Man u in the final though)

[red barchetta]

F'ucking hell, you are expecting a good game aren't you? I wouldn't be suprised if you are very disappointed.

I think it'll be 1-0 to milan probably. Both sides have defended well over the season, even though milan looked a bit shakey against PSV.
milan's recent game against palermo ended 3-3, even though they had a 3-1 lead. i'm sure liverpool can do something equal to that.

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Yeah but in that game Milan had fielded a terribly weakened team. And plus, how often do you see 5 goals in a normal game, let alone the biggest club cup final ever?

And don't forget liverpool will only play one striker

[red barchetta]

we'll just wait and see

[Rancid Dan]

Yup.

If Liverpool win, England will be crazy.

My mates out in istanbul now.

[skateMASTERbater2]

I didn't know you were a footy fan?^^

I am, but i don't come here often because people here only discuss english football :p

My prediction: 1-0 for liverpool, or if milan wins it will probably be 2-0 or 3-0

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

haha fair enough. Who do you support then? I can't say i know too mcuh about Swiss club football, but the national team is doing brilliantly, and Senderos is playing very well for Arsenal

[metal-militia]

I think Milan will win 2-0 or 2-1.

[skateMASTERbater2]

haha fair enough. Who do you support then? I can't say i know too mcuh about Swiss club football, but the national team is doing brilliantly, and Senderos is playing very well for Arsenal
I support fc zurich, but really no swiss club(except for FC basel) is any good when it comes to playing clubs outside of switzerland. I also like PSV alot

[Lord Abortion]

bastard arsenal and their wanky wanky wankery
cunt cunt cunt cunt

hopefully this will be a wakeup call and smeone, maybe ferguson, or gill, or glazer will realise that this is not GOOD ENOUGH

buy some good players PLEASE...

[Kickflip_Burrito]

/is an Arsenal fan :D

Yeah, we played really badly, I think Lehmann was the only Arsenal player really giving it his best. United were unlucky and Van Nistelrooy trying to do that back-heel/flick thing and ended up nutmegging himself, lol, show-off. He could've finished Arsenal right there.

[metal-militia]

Yeah i thought Lehman was good. I think he should've got man of the match instead of Rooney.

[Iai]

Nah, Rooney and Ronaldo were different class. Lehmann was good, but not that good.

[red barchetta]

ljunberg's save from van nistelrooy's header was pretty classy though

[Lord Abortion]

not really- it smacked him on the head and hit the bar

I don't think it was deliberate

[red barchetta]

nah, he jumped up slightly. it didnt go straight to his head

[Iai]

Yeah. It was pure instinct.

[metal-militia]

who cares what it was, it looked good and made Arsenal win :thumb:

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Yeah. It was pure instinct.

your point is what then?

O'Neill looks certain to leave and be replaced by strachan now

[duffroxmysox]

/slightly old news but meh


so palace went down :upset:

[Agitated_Barry]

O'Neill says he will stay till after the Cup Final then leave to look after his wife.

[poorquality]

So Deigo Forlan scored a hattrick against barcalona yesterday...that makes 5 goals against barca alone this season, and only 1 goal behind e'eto for top scorer...cant help but think if united kept him and he hit this form...forlan and rooney upfront...bah why didnt he get more of a chance...he scored when he came on from the bench....but wasnt given enough of a chance

[Iai]

your point is what then?
yeah

adverb

It is so; as you say or ask: absolutely, agreed, all right, assuredly, aye, gladly, indubitably, roger, undoubtedly, unquestionably, willingly, yea, yes. Informal OK, uh-huh, yep. Slang right on. See affirm/deny/argue.

So basically you're a geek trying to duck out of answering a question? OK right, i follow

[Rancid Dan]

So, i manged to get a bet on Milan to win !

[poorquality]

You seem to always lose bets though...so should i go put a bet on liverpool winning now? :P

[Rancid Dan]

Ha, i know, i haven't won in ages.

[KappaKid17]

I think Milan will win 2-0 or 2-1.

It should be a multiple-goal outing for Milan. They're playing too well right now, even if they didn't finish on top of Serie A.

[red barchetta]

Ha, i know, i haven't won in ages.
how much money have you lost this season?

[Rancid Dan]

About £40 at a rough guess.

[red barchetta]

man, you have really low luck

[Rancid Dan]

Yeah, i won £25 in one week though.

10 on Newcastle to beat Olympiacos.
5 on Arsenal to beat Bolton
10 on Newcastle to beat Spurs

:)

[jcxstargazer]

Summarise your teams season
----------------

Man City

Average beggining to the season, nothing special really.A few injuries let us down and left us a very small squad, which left the youth squad to come in, I thought this was risky but in the end it has paid off. We've gotten Onuoha (sp?), Lee Croft, Stephen Jordan, Willo Flood.

It had gotten pretty boring towards the end of the season, no consistency, but at least this time we werent battling to stay away from relegation!

When Pearce came in everything changed. There seemed to be a new team coming out who were really trying to get the win, and wouldnt take no for an answer. Lost the first game under Psycho, but didnt lose again all season - 8 Games, something to be proud of. And to top it all off, we missed out on a UEFA place by one goal, which Fowler could have gotten if he scored the injury time penalty. Although it was justice since there was no actual offence

[poorquality]

Man Utd

Started poor with injuries, got better as season progressed, lost vital points to lower down sides, ruud got injured...team got better, scored more goals, won nearly every game...ruud came back...stopped scoring, lost more points, dominated games but still didnt score with only ruud up front.

Manager needs someone to let him know 4-5-1 does not work, and we shouldnt play englands best striker on the right wing.

Glazer puting upto 740 mil debt on us now apparently...

FA Cup Final was a joke, we dominated but couldnt score still...ruud is past it..

to sum it all up: Crap

[ScottyMoore]

Hibernian (Scottish Premier)

Bad start to season but then Tony Mobraw (misspelled) came and turned things around.
Got into UEFA.
Came third in League.
Behind Celtic and Rangers (as usual)
:chug:

[Untitled]

Bury...........

Good start, ended crap. (thats all i can remember)

I Realy hope 'pool win tomorrow, if they dont, ill burn the whole of the city down, then we can see what city is capital of culture :evil:

[sting-ray]

tomorrow is the final :-X

[jaymz_is_god]

Man Utd

Started poor with injuries, got better as season progressed, lost vital points to lower down sides, ruud got injured...team got better, scored more goals, won nearly every game...ruud came back...stopped scoring, lost more points, dominated games but still didnt score with only ruud up front.

Glazer puting upto 740 mil debt on us now apparently...

FA Cup Final was a joke, we dominated but couldnt score still...ruud is past it..

to sum it all up: Crap

That pretty much sums it up. There were a few highlights though. Doing the double over Liverpool and Arsenal. Gabriel Heinze, some of Wayne Rooney's amazing goals...erm, that's about it.

I don't think it's fair to say Ruud is past it. He still managed to get 16 goals in 25 starts which isn't a bad ratio. When he's on form, he is still one of Europe's best strikers eg. 4 goals in one game in the Champions League. He'll be back to his old self next season once he's shaken this injury off.

[guitarbaz]

This was emailed to me by one of my mates...not being a man u fan i found it quite amusing.....and probably quite true...a "letter" from the american bloke to all manu "fans"....


"Dear Soccer fans,

As you all know, I've been looking to buy the United's of Manchester for
a little while now. I've also heard that some of you may not be too
happy about me using, sorry, buying the club in order to reach new
heights and also, that I may not be a fan.

Well fear not, as I'm writing this personal letter to let you know that
I'm a genuine fan of you blue devils.

I began rooting for the United's back in 1992 when our little Malcolm JR
was practising those Soccer home runs out in the yard. I loved the way
you turned defence into offence, and the way that Bobby Shearer used to
top half it into the goal bag. Oh man, that play was hot. My son tells
me that you even out-zoned your City rivals Southampton in the 4th
quarter of the FA World series.

As for your current team, that Rude guy is awesome!!!! I see a
profitable future at the United, with the young talent of Cristiano
Rooney (man, that guy can dance!) and Peter Shilton giving us hope in
defeating the evil Russian tyranny which assaults the freedom of our
beloved Soccer.

With the marketing potential of those Neville brothers and that Pearce
dude leading the team, we can all look to achieving our beliefs of a
better future. Especially when I add Alexei Lalas and Cobi Jones to the
starting 15.

Now to you, the fans.

I've been to see the United's play once before, and the respect you pay
your team in silently admiring the play out on the pitch was
overwhelming. Because of this, I've just purchased a new #45 million
mansion in the Manchester to be close to you guys. And more good news is
I'm planning to add an extra 10,000 seats through corporate boxes so
more genuine blue devils can experience the play.

What's with the prawn sandwiches I had to eat when I was there? Well,
rest assured, it'll be super size prawn baguettes when I take charge.

I can't wait to come over to the Manchester isles, as I love the
country, especially the beaches and the hot chicks.

I hope you can all see my vision of this future, with new shirt sponsors
(Dunkin Donuts) and new team name (The Manchester Gloom) I'm sure things
are looking bright.

*Further good news for you guys is that I've just agreed a partnership
deal with McDonalds, who will help in promoting the Manchester brand.
This will involve re-naming the stadium to 'McTrafford' as well as an
exciting launch of Manchester Gloom plastic fan toys in every happy
meal.

Cristiano Rooney will be the face of this campaign and during this, he
will be marketed globally as Roonald McDonald.

Take care dudes.

MG."

[Lord Abortion]

ruud is not past it...

if we bought torres I might change my mind

[jaymz_is_god]

Predictions for tonight?

I can see Liverpool just edging it 1-0 or 2-1. Not sure why, I just have a feeling.

[Lord Abortion]

2-0 milan

early goal and one on the break

both schevchenko incidently

[poorquality]

3-1 liverpool, i'm hopeful :P

Rumours say Real MAdrid want to trade Owen + Cash for van Nistelrooy :) I'm well up for that, owen and rooney together was proved to be good in euro 2004 they had a great partnership :)

But you guys are right, next season will be different..hopefully a 4-4-2 formation for a start, then ruud on form :)

[Rancid Dan]

Shevchenko, my Ukranian counterpart to score 2 and Garcia to score 1.

[Rancid Dan]

Wo Ho

1-0 Milan already..

[Untitled]

Dan, wheres your british pride? Your supposed to want an english team to win :(

[Rancid Dan]

Not when you have a 5er on it and have load sof mates who would gloat like crazy if they win.

Hahaha, all you fools who said it would be an uneventful game :lol: I said to my mum at 3-0 "i bet the bring it to 3-3", look who's right
:cool:

It's getting tense now.

[poorquality]

I said to my dad it'd be 3-3 at the end :o ...joking of course...but now look at it...extra time looms

[Ad Absurdum]

Wow, what a game. I think Milan might edge it in extra time though. I hope I'm wrong....

Well, Milan have won the cup 4 times in white, and liverpool everytime they have won, they played some team in white. Or so it said at the top of the program, so i dunno.

Liverpool WIN!

YEsssssssssssssssssssssssssss

YESSSSSSSS

EDIT, sorry, i broke the page

[poorquality]

Oh yeah...means another bet Dan lost :o maybe you should stop betting for a while :) lol thats just unlucky...3-0 i thought you'd won your bet...

Dan should put a bet on saying that Pool wont get to defend it next year. Because then they will, and City get into UEFA!!!!

Gerard, Man of the match :cool:

[superpeer]

Haha, I'm glad liverpool won, Milan would have been so unoriginal. Go Dudek !

[Distorted Vision]

Congratulations to Liverpool, the best team in Europe, and only the fifth best team in England. :lol:

In all seriousness though, it's nice that an English team won it, and this is coming from a Man United fan. I had a feeling Milan wouldn't win in that shootout.

[poorquality]

Dudek man of the match...he saved a nearly dead set goal in extra time...quick reactions...also putting off players in the penalty shootout...after the first half disaster...he was supurb...so was gerrard mind you...but dudek deserves it i think

[Distorted Vision]

That double save by Dudek from Shevchenko at the end was incredible.

[Untitled]

Dudek played great, but he only seemed to start playing realy well in the last half of extra time, but he was awesome in the penalties. Gerard though was a key player throught all of the second half and extra time.

[IAJP]

MY TEAN WON!
It still hasn't properly sunk in, I'm shaking though.

Yeah but in that game Milan had fielded a terribly weakened team. And plus, how often do you see 5 goals in a normal game, let alone the biggest club cup final ever?

And don't forget liverpool will only play one striker
pwned. ;)

haha. the guy on ITV news called it the FA cup

[eyeless_dk_]

Amazing amazing...
I love that game

[Cta1987]

Well done to liverpool coming from a Man Utd fan, I know people who were at the game tonight wished them good luck before they left.

Sad day though Martin O'Neill is leaving Celtic :upset:

Served Celtic great in the 5 years hes been here, i hope his wife gets better.

[Kickflip_Burrito]

What a match, at half time, I was told the score by a colleague at work, I thought 'well, they've been massacred, Milan's got it'. I go in the canteen and its 3-2, I was like :eek: then within seconds of me watching, Gerrard is fouled for the penalty :amaze: But Dudek, I hope they don't get rid of him, he's proven his worth.

Well done Liverpool! Football came home tonight!

[Ganondorf]

Well played Liverpool, Dan.....:lol: ;)

[Lord Abortion]

best. final. ever.

dudek was a star
he made some very good saves

but...

he was extremely shaky throughout the game

[Ad Absurdum]

he made some very good saves

but...

he was extremely shaky throughout the game

Agreed. Like when he dropped it and Traore cleared the shot off the line. He played amazing in extra time and penalties though (although I was surprised they let him come off his line so much).

[red barchetta]

he made some very good saves

but...

he was extremely shaky throughout the game
it doesnt really matter though, he was amazing at the penalties

[Lord Abortion]

(although I was surprised they let him come off his line so much).
as was I

they cracked down on it alot last season but not this...

he was well off his line on more than one pen last night

[Adam Jones is GOD]

SKy Sports coverage was a little OTT. It went on and on and on...

Also, watching one of the best finals in memory with non football fans sucks. The words I remember as the last penalty was saved was 'god, isnt Fantastic Four gunna rulez!'

NOT the way I want my football served up

[Lord Abortion]

I watched it accompanied only by beer and FM 2005

the way to go...

I watched it on my bed, by myself.

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

That champs league final was amazing, well played pool!

Carragher and Gerrard were f'ucking quality

[skateMASTERbater2]

What an awesome final. I was just about to stop watching and then all of a sudden it was 3-3. Dudek kind of saved it at the end though and it sure was funny to see him dance during the penalties. Well done liverpool

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Schevchenko really did mess it up at the end. Dudek made a great save from his header originally but then with the goal at his mercy he ,anaged to kick the ball straight at dudek's hands when he was laying on the floor.

and then to cap it all he missed his penalty!

[Rancid Dan]

Good match.

Can't quite believe they manged to win it.

Shevchenko played amazing, as did Kaka, Gerrard and Carragher.

Shevchenko couldn't have done anthing about the double save, and any other time, the keeper would have dived to eother sode and it would have went straight into the net.

My mate went to see it, he got back on England at 5:30 am and had to go to school :lol:

[DuncMaster]

Ugh, why did Dudek have the game of his life. :upset:

Sheva should have finished them 27mins into extra time.

he played great in the first half, so i guess that partly makes up for that

Kaka also played great in the first half, then somewhat vanished for the rest of the game

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Yeah, in the first half Kaka managed to keep getting in between liverpool's centre mid firld of Alonso and Gerrard and then could keep running at the centre of defense. Then, Traore especially, the pool defense couldn't decide whether to go to him or to let him run.

His through balls were excellent, he kept picking out his man so well.

Liverpool got much better when they denied Kaka the room to dictate all the play, and also they stopped punmping long balls up to Baros (that were easily delt with by Stam and Nesta) and got the ball down and played football

[Iai]

I never realised, until last night, that you could have so many heart attacks within a 3-hour period and survive.

[sting-ray]

I hate bayern munich

[Kickflip_Burrito]

My Uncle watches them play whenever he goes to Germany on holiday.

[sting-ray]

tell him to go to Bremen and watch Werder play instead..

[poorquality]

5 People making their debuts for england tonight :o Including Keiran Richardson..i hope he has a blinder :P 6 months ago he was playing for united reserves, now he's starting for England...

[metal-militia]

Crouch starting for England! :lol: :lol: :lol:

[red barchetta]

isnt crouch injured and facing a late fitness test?



carroll (man u) got released!!! he deserved it

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Crouch is out

England are one up, Richardson free kick on his debut after 4 minutes.

Anyone know why the kick off was 8:06pm? (BST)

[Rancid Dan]

hA, nice one.

He sure is a talent.

Is Jenas playing ?

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Yeah jenas is playing: James, Johnson, a cole, campbell, brown, joe cole, carrick, jenas, richardson, andy johnson, smith

The Us are playing well apparently

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

And Richardson has now scored again!! An assist by johnson, who was also fouled for his first from the free kick

[metal-militia]

Good result for England, i expected them to lose. Richardson was good, just a shame Crouch couldn't play.

[Kickflip_Burrito]

What was the final score?

[metal-militia]

2-1 to England

[sting-ray]

if ze roberto signs with Bayern this year, Torsten Frings will probably come to Werder Bremen :cool:

[metal-militia]

if ze roberto signs with Bayern this year, Torsten Frings will probably come to Werder Bremen :cool:

At least your club has good transfer news.

Apparently Saints were after some Darlington player... how low can you go :upset:

Also, it looks like Celtic may be interested in Niemi.

[Dead Star]

Celtic really need a good goalkeeper. Rab Douglas is hopeless.

[sting-ray]

haha

Balde has been linked with Werder too.. but i'd rather get van Buyten or kevin Hofland

[MILF Hunter]

At least your club has good transfer news.

Apparently Saints were after some Darlington player... how low can you go :upset:

.

oi!

All i know on the subject is our manager has been trying to phone him to sort out a contract as he was only on a 1 year and St juste isnt answering his calls whilst sneakily having talks with southampton. it aint going down too well with the darlington fans.

As for the player hes skillfull and can take people on, but then most of the time cant get a decent cross in. He is also very small and weak and gets outmuscled far too easily. I honestly dont rate him that much, and hes only young so i dont feel he's nowhere near good enough for championship level.

Oh and about saying players coming from Darlington is a bad thing, a lot of the good players come from the lower leagues. Look at Robbie Blake now, he started off at Darlington. now hes at Birmingham. DeVos who plays for Ipswich also started off at Darlo

:)

[Rancid Dan]

Heh.

Newcastle transfer news looks bleak, lot's of players on there way out...

[metal-militia]

oi!


:lol: i was wondering when you'd say something.

i'm not saying they're ****, but come on, a team thats going to to hopefully be a title contender trying to go for a player from Darlington doesn't seem right. Yeah he might be good, and i may be wrong, but you just said he wasn't too hot so i hope we don't get him. :p

[MILF Hunter]

I dont mind if he goes or not. We signed a replacement for him whos supposed to be better :D

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

I really hope Preston beat West Ham in the playoff final today.

[MILF Hunter]

Yeah so do I. David Nugent (ex Bury player. ex League 2, metal militia :p) Is a quality player

[Captain Jack Sparrow]

This thread title should probably be edited to say "EU" because when I saw "Football" I came in here expecting to talk about the Tennessee Titans. :-\

Bury own all >_>

Jared, this is a FOOTBALL thread, we talk about football, where you use your feet, not hands :p

Way to use an american dictionary :rolleyes:

[Captain Jack Sparrow]

:cool:

I'm just saying, there *are* two different national varieties of football. I'm just suprised this thread was stickied without more clarification on which nation it was referring to.

[Untitled]

Yes there IS, but you have the wrong type :p I can see how you can get confused though, with your game that is prodominatly hand held :p

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

F'uck off West Ham. Dave Nugent didn't play too well Dave....

[MILF Hunter]

Yeah I know..Shame. He is a quality player.Scored 21 this season I think, and around 9 in 15 games for PNE

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Props to Sky Sports for doing a close up of Harewood celebrating at the end of the match. The move to bring in a mic so they could pick up every 'F***ing Yes!' and 'We f***ing rule!' was sheer brilliance. Brilliant afternoon TV. :)

West ham will struggle next season though if they play the way they did.

[Rancid Dan]

/waits for the new season to come around

[red barchetta]

hooray, west ham promoted!

but i suppose they'll get relegated next season along with wigan...

[poorquality]

yeah :) Wigan and West Ham relegated next season, though will have 2 great games each against Man Utd...like all lower down teams

[Rancid Dan]

Wigan, Pompey adn West Brom to get relegated next year.

[red barchetta]

i want blackburn to get relegated next season

[MILF Hunter]

pompey
west brom
wigan

to go down

Darlington to go up :D

[Rancid Dan]

^^^^^
123

Great minds thing alike.

amirite ?

[metal-militia]

to go down:
West Ham
Sunderland
Pompey <--- i would love it if we won the league and they finished bottom :thumb:

Yes Milf, Nugent may be ex league 2, but thats just one case :p

[Untitled]

F'uck off West Ham. Dave Nugent didn't play too well Dave....
I thaught Nugent was still at bury? When did he move?

[metal-militia]

I thaught Nugent was still at bury? When did he move?
in January time i think... im not sure though.

[Grondahl]

in January time i think... im not sure though.

Yeah, he did. And he was a snip at just £100k. Played badly today, though. Which I suppose was on a par with the rest of our players, with the exceptions of Davis and Mawene who were great.

[Ganondorf]

Everton finished 17th, the the next season got intothe CL. Same for WBA hpefully ;)

[10571z]

hi im austrlian and ive never been able to get into american footy i find it quite boring how they stop the game every 10secs could you please tell me why its a good sport and exciting

[Rancid Dan]

Please.

This is a football thread, not american football.

[SickBoy]

Everton finished 17th, the the next season got intothe CL. Same for WBA hpefully ;)

if that happens i will walk barefoot to where ever you live and eat several hats full of spicy spicy sauce, for the amusement of all the townfolk

[Rancid Dan]

:lol:

[metal-militia]

:rolleyes: :lol:

Well Sunderland finished bottom of the Prem and came up as champions, maybe Saints can do the same. :thumb:

[10571z]

Please.

oh that good ino it as soccer hear in australia. i play goalie for my school. you would laugh at how much i suck if you saw me.

[7killer7]

are you as bad at football as you are at spelling?

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

i hope wigan stay up, with sunderland, west ham and west brom going down.

[Ganondorf]

Wigan have no chance.

[metal-militia]

For me it's between Pompey and WBA for the last place next season. Wigan will be getting a load of money so i reckon they will stay up.

[Untitled]

in January time i think... im not sure though.
Oh, i never keep up with who plays for Bury anymore, just find the score/where they are in the table.

[metal-militia]

who do you support then?

[MILF Hunter]

hich I suppose was on a par with the rest of our players, with the exceptions of Davis and Mawene who were great.

Are you kidding me? They were both Prestons worst players

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Wigan have no chance.

they have two of the most prolific scorers in the championship and their chairman is relatively wealthy. They played well all season, and scored plenty of goals. They've got every chance, especially after that awful WBA team stayed up with such a meagre points tally

[MILF Hunter]

I didnt know up untill about a week ago that the Chairman (Dave Whelan i think he's called) is the owner of JJB :o

[MILF Hunter]

Oh yeah. at the the start of the next college year im joining the footy team :cool:

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

I was ever present at centre back (and vice captain) of my college's footy team. :cool:

I found that out about their chairman on the Alan Hansen documentary about player's careers coming to an end with Gazza etc

[Ganondorf]

Andy Johnson was a prolific scorer in the First Divison, hell, he was doing brilliantly in the Premiership aswell. It dosen't mean ****.

[jaymz_is_god]

Anyone watching the England-Colombia game?
It is grim. Not one decent chance yet.

EDIT: 1-0 England, Mickey Owen scored.

[red barchetta]

columbia should've got the equaliser. england's defence was poor near the end.

[Grondahl]

Are you kidding me? They were both Prestons worst players

What? They were the worst? Davis won practically every ball he challenged for, had to cover for Hill a load and was generally awesome (compared to the rest of our players). Same goes for Mawene, except for the Hill bit. Our worst players were O'Neil and McKenna, neither of them could keep the ball and didn't close down the West Ham midfield. Sedgwick was pretty darn poor as well.

[sting-ray]

Newcastle is after van Buyten apparantly...

[Rancid Dan]

Who is he ?

Is he good ?

England game was good, Owen was sharp.

B.O Neil..

Am I the only one that laughed what I saw that on the back of his shirt :lol:




















probably :upset:

[davser]

Any word on the hooligan antics of last night?

[Rancid Dan]

Oh yeah, i heard about that....

[red barchetta]

charlton got darren bent. lucky them...

[metal-militia]

Crouch played ok last night. :thumb:

Van Buyten will be an excellent signing for Newcastle.... he was the one that was loaned to Man City a few seasons back.

[jaymz_is_god]

I think Van Buyten is a great player. Got all the qualities of a top centre-back...strength, pace, height, can head the ball and isn't afraid to get stuck in.

[metal-militia]

Yeah he is a quality defender. He's also great on Football Manager, my tool for knowing good players. :p

[Rancid Dan]

Cool, i hope we get him now then.

Boumsong and Buyten :cool:

[Iai]

I didn't see any mention in the thread of Van Nistlerooy leaving. :confused: It's all the papers have talked about recently.

I hope he goes after Michael Owen as a replacement. He's not getting any decent action at Real, and having Rooney and Owen playing together at club level will be awesome for the national side.

[SickBoy]

I didn't see any mention in the thread of Van Nistlerooy leaving. :confused: It's all the papers have talked about recently.
.

he wont go

[red barchetta]

Inter Milan striker Adriano has insisted he has no interest in signing for Chelsea.
in your face, chelsea!!!

[metal-militia]

See Kluivert left Newcastle, and Niemi looks like he's on his way out of Southampton. :upset:

[the_weed666]

Cool, i hope we get him now then.

Boumsong and Buyten :cool:

boumsong is rubbish and so is the rest of the newcastle defence but buyten is good!

[jaymz_is_god]

Anyone hear about Raul? It sort of makes sense, but it still sounds like newspaper crap. I wanna know where they get these stories from. Last week, United were linked with 7 different goalkeepers :confused:

[the_weed666]

yer but man utd need a new goalkeeper though!!!

[MILF Hunter]

some premiership team (cant remember who) are after Robert Green from Norwich..WHY? He's terrible. He was easily the worst keeper last season, and he let the most goals in. why would anyone want him...And why did he get an England cap, There are miles better English keepers than him.

[Ganondorf]

thats like saying Robinson is bad becuase he let loads in when Leeds went down. Green is overated, but he isn't bad.

[j_brown_12]

boumsong is rubbish and so is the rest of the newcastle defence but buyten is good!

Newcastle have made some awful signings :lol: kluivert, boumsong!!
