Euro 2008 (Official Man City LOL Thread)

[StandingStill]

Best Newcastle signing ever: Carl Cort £8million. Genius. Honourable mentions: Hugo Viana, Nikos Dabizas, Clarence Acuna.

[jaymz_is_god]

The Raul to Liverpool thing?

That's the one. He said he would be willing to leave Real Madrid if they didn't want him and somehow that translates as 'Liverpool to bid £15m for Raul' :confused:

[Ganondorf]

:lol:

Apparently Man U are going for Van De Sar

[MILF Hunter]

Apparently they are after Robinson aswell

[Rancid Dan]

wtf

What's wrong with Boumsong ? He is a great centreback.

[red barchetta]

:lol:

Apparently Man U are going for Van De Sar
but he will only be about 2m which is a bargain. he's a good shot-stopper

[metal-militia]

Don't worry, many transfer rumours are false at the moment becuase there is no football on atm, so they have to make stuff up.

Man u got Van Der Sar.


chelsea are scum for what they've done with the whole Ashley cole saga and now the Frank Arenesen thing. They shoyld get a ten point deduction and a transfer window ban, maybe they'll learn their lesson.

Peter Kenyon also tried to stir it all up again with more comments about Cole, he should be severely punished also

But yeah, its not a big event so theres little football to talk about in the sportsp ages.

[jaymz_is_god]

Decent news about Van Der Sar. I was hoping for a young keeper but he's a bloody good keeper and I don't think I've ever seen him make any stupid mistakes.

[Ganondorf]

Well played. According to the papers, Bryan Robson is trying to sign Tudor and Legrotaille from Juventus, and Nemeth from Boro.

Aye aye aye!

The FA need a smack on the arse to wake them up. Giving a fine to Mourinho of £200,000...Oh no, he cant buy a 5th Porche now, how will he live.
The club getting a £300,000 fine is terrible. They probably laughed at it thinking it was a joke.

[newleaf21]

yeah take points off those cunts disgusting behaviour

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

i was having another think about the whole Ash cole saga today and especially with spurs seeking compensation for Arnesen leaving (£10million).

Surely Arsenal shoyld be entitled to some compensation especially as if Cole is determined to leave he could easily run down his contract and leave for free meaning we've lost out on a £15million transfer fee?

[Lord Abortion]

yeah... this is a good thing It will help tim howard learn certainly and hopefully provide a rock at the back that we seem to lack to provide comfidence

[MILF Hunter]

:lol: Its funny because the only reason Arsenal and Man U fans want Chelsea to get points deducted is so they at least have half a chance next season

The thing is chelsea and anyone involved in their set up can happily pay off any fines, so they should either get a transfer ban or a point deduction, or both

[Ganondorf]

Yeah, money's not really an object for them.

[MILF Hunter]

[Stew_Blink]

Here's a question..I'm getting into football just now. I live in Canada and plan to move to England in a few years. The bit of football we get over here is awesome, but we don't get that much. My favorite team is Manchester United, not becuase I'm a glory follower, but becuase when my uncle lived in England that was his favorite team, and he'd go and watch alot of the games. So what do the words on the front of the Man U. uniforms mean?

Ruud scored for holland, ronaldo scored for portugal, they keep this rate up and united won't be flops next season :o Also Glazers are reportedly "impressed" with fergies 2 year premiership domination plan :S whatever that is, it might not be so bad

[red barchetta]

man u will be good next year. they've solved their goalkeeper problem, ruud will be on form, and if they can get ji sung park, they've solved their centre-midfield problem. they'll get at least one trophy

[MILF Hunter]

Did anyone watch the NZ Aussie match?

Adrian Webster..he came off injured in about the 85th minute plays for Darlo :cool:

[sting-ray]

Whats that all about? I have not heard of this, enlighten me if you please.


well asia has 2 qualifying groups and the top 2 from each go directly to the world cup then the next closest seed gets to go to a playoff in CONCACAF for a chance to go to the world cup. Europe could use another seed imo

[Ganondorf]

Nah It's the world cup, it's more interesting with a variety of teams from around the world.

[metal-militia]

yeah but the stupidly pointless teams get knocked out straight away. I don't think teams like Saudi should play becuase they will get knocked out in the group stages, and probably wont even score, while better teams cant qualify.

so you think that as Liverpool one the trophy they are better than all ther ohter teams that finished above them in the league, plus temas like AC Milan, Juve, Barcelona etc?

[Ganondorf]

Nah, I wouldn't really say so, but winning the Champions League has gotta count for something.

They also beat AC Milan and Juventus anyway.

[Britney Diva]

Everton v Liverpool could go either way, they're both very average sides.

Yep, I think Liverpool are better, but Everton could beat, and have beaten, them with the right game plan. As for Liverpool as title contenders... if they spend their money wisely, I think it's possible for them to qualify for the CL. Otherwise, I think they'll be in the UEFA Cup spots again - they don't have the quality to win consistently. Plus, Gerrard's future is still uncertain as we speak.

I doubt it. Liverpool dont have the squad depth that the other 3 have. Unless they go out and buy people in the summer i don't think they'll go far in the CL next season, or the prem.

Was it only Newcastle and Boro in it last season or was there another English team?

Wigan Athletic in the Premier League next season, how do you think they'll go? And has Andy Johnson moved(from Crystal Palace?). Somebody told me he did.

As far as i know he's still there. I think Wigan will do ok becuase they have a load of mney to spend apparently, so i reckon they'll finish midtable/lower half.

[poorquality]

I cant believe the seasons over :( I've been watching Euro 2005 the female footy comp recently.....and masters football (which rocks) , theres nothing else left :(

[red barchetta]

yeah, it's this time of year... no football and only rugby and cricket...

[jcxstargazer]

Andy Johnson is still with Palace, but teams like Everton are thinking of buying him for around £6m

[red barchetta]

the palace staff are like 'NO!!!' to every offer though.

[metal-militia]

He's not even that good, he shouldn't be worth more than 3.

[jcxstargazer]

He goes down way too easy.
Its not as if he was the second best striker last season despite having the 2nd highest number of goals scored. He got 19, but more than 10 were penalties

[Grondahl]

He goes down way too easy.


You make it sound like an unusual trait in a striker...

He's not a bad player, but he's certainly not England quality.

[StoneRosesFanatic]

He's better than Beattie.

[jcxstargazer]

Thats not hard...

[Ganondorf]

Beattie is teh suck.

[Grondahl]

Derby want Billy Davies as their next manager, and according to Radio Derby, he wants to go. I don't know why, after all we did beat them in the play-off's, but if he does go Preston are going to struggle next season for sure.

[hellmeg]

how do u all think newcastle will do next season? they seem to want to sell everyone but its wierd cos its basically the same team that 2 seasons ago challaged in the league (kinda) and did ok in the champ league.

[Rancid Dan]

Hopefully top 4

[Ganondorf]

What stage did they get to?

[jcxstargazer]

Dan, sorry but I seriously doubt a top four finish. The Toon are losing some of their best players. Bellamy probably wont stay, Robert looks to be on his way to Bolton, they've sold 2 defenders

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Newcastle won't get near the top four (hopefully anyway).

Chelsea, Man U and Arsenal should make up the top three in some order, with Liverpool a much tighter 4th place and then Everton, Middlesborough and probably Spurs above Newcastle again. Maybe Man City also

[jcxstargazer]

Maybe Man City also
I like you :p

[Rancid Dan]

What a load of crap.

5th is the most probable finish for us, Spurs, Man City, Boro and Everton won't finish ahead of us, we will bring in some good new players, last time we entered the UEFA via Inter-toto we finished 3rd :)

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Newcastle are on a downward spiral at the moment. There's unrest in the squad, they've missed out on any half decent player they've been linked with and they can't offer any new signings european football. Plus they are also lacking quality.

[Rancid Dan]

yeahyeah

[jcxstargazer]

He's got a point. They're selling players because the team just isnt getting along (lets not forget Bowyer/Dyer), finishing 14th wont exactly attract players.
And to be honest I think Souness is at fault. If they can, get rid of him and bring back Robson, the team were doing pretty well when he was there

P.s. I dont want to seem as if im having a go at making you feel bad, Im just stating my opinion

[Rancid Dan]

yeah, ok, but other teams and players KNOW that we can do and normally do much better than 14th, all teams have a bad seaons, it was only a couple of years ago when we finished 3rd, so you never know.

We need some new strikers most, and possible some midfielders and a new centre back...
For the end of last season we played with a bunch of 21- year olds in midfield...

If we keep Jenas and Dyer we will do well, especialy if Dyer keeps free from injury...

I'm not bothered about Robert leaving, we are getting rid of the players which gave the club a bad name, so the spirit and morale should be higher....

[red barchetta]

i have a feeling Man City will do what everton did, and go into champion's league :eek:

they do have a chance though. definately a place in europe for them next season i think.

[Jimi Haze]

Hmm.... I know we aren't popular at the moment, but what about Chelsea :D I think we didn't actually show our full potential this year, with Robben and Duff being injured a lot, and Kezman and Drogba being useless..

But Frank was unbelievable :D I wish all clubs good luck in 05.06 and it will be an amazing season :D

[red barchetta]

i think chelsea have the perfect team right now. they don't need any more players. give drogba some time to get used to english football, and he'll be fine.

[jcxstargazer]

I think eventually he will be ok. But the problem with the Premiership is you cant sit back and say "lets give him time". They will have to bring in someone up front, they cant keep depending on Duff and Robben (very good players) but they are midfielders, not strikers

[red barchetta]

drogba is better than any premiership striker at headering though i think. it'll be a waste if chelsea stop playing him.

i think chelsea will do better with a 3-5-2 formation, with someone next to drogba who is good at conrolling the ball

[MILF Hunter]

Drogba is the best in the premiership for goalline tappins :lol:

Suker retired a while ago. His business partner was shot yesterday and he was being interviewed.

Ronaldos agent says he wants to be payed the same amount as people like scholes, and **** straight he should be, he signed as an 18 year old on what? 12 grand a week? He's proven himself better than most midfielders in the worlds major leagues. He deserves to get the same as the bigger players :o /rant

and bad news Solskjaer has been laid back again, he was meant to come back beginning of season, now waits until October...he'll never play proper games again

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Ronaldo is being a greedy cunt. He's 18, man u signed him froma smaller club and have caoched him into becoming one of the most talented players in the world. He should appreciate what they've done for him rather than whinging about being strapped for cash.

[poorquality]

He's 18 and better than most 24+, he'll probably be one of the best ever players in the world. He deserves the same pay as people of his skill level, age shouldn't matter

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

He's not that great yet. He's getting there but he still wouldn't get into a world team for that position, there are still better players.

the fact is that when man u signed him he was not as good as he is now. He needs to show more respect in a club that paid a huge amount of money for what was at the time only a promising teenager. These contracts are absurd and are ruining football

[poorquality]

Im not a fan on contracts myself, being a footballer is a job, you are working for a company, they work (go training) during the week then work (play a match) on weekends, so why should get they more in a week than some people in other jobs earn in 2-3 years. I dont think thats fair.

how can an opinion be wrong?

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Well based on the fact that he's top scored for them since he's been there, and kept them in top flight football are pretty dam'ning statistics.

Thats like saying Beattie is good becuase he was top scorer for us. And how well has he done at Everton? thats right, absolute ****.

I'm not arguing that he can't score, but all of them are tap ins like RVN, and overall i think he is a worse player than Lua Lua.

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

He's actually scored quite a few good goals ion the past couple of seasons, and his all round play ooutweighs that of a RVN or Beattie, he mustve got a fair few assists.

And i do think Beattie has the potential to be a good player, he has a good shot, and is tall and strong. He hasn't settled at everton yet, i think he neeeds to adjust to their system.

I can't remember any good Yakubu goals.

Beattie is also overated. After years of watching him at Saints he didn't do too much. He can play well sometimes, but is very arrogant and lazy.

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Fair enough, you will have watched him more than me. I have seen good things from Beattie though, i think he could go quite far

Yakubu has scored a number of good goals, hopefully you'll see more next season. He is an exciting player to watch

[MILF Hunter]

Beatties headbut on Gallas I think it was, was hilarious

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

[Lord Abortion]

Soccer isn't real, its FOOTBALL. Like Twat Out Of Hell said it's around since the 1800's, and is played in 100s of countries. Unlike American football which is mainly played in USA and is worse version of rugby.
american football is for girls anyway, see how much padding they wear?

they're the poofs

[Ganondorf]

soccer is crap .stop calling it football u poofs

**** of.

[red barchetta]

OMG did anyone see juninho's freekick at brazil vs greece? it was amazing!

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

yeah twas a quality goal. Brazil were great to watch going forward, they made it look like a club game (i.e. they trained together all year) the way they were finidng so much space

[red barchetta]

i was quite surprised that Robinho was that good.

[metal-militia]

i was quite surprised that Robinho was that good.

yeah, he hasn't looked as sharp before.

[red barchetta]

it's not fair... Brazil have too many good players.

[SickBoy]

soccer is crap .stop calling it football u poofs

oh yeah, like running around with tons of padding on and going "HUT" every 5 minutes is so great

it isnt you know

[red barchetta]

soccer is crap .stop calling it football u poofs
american football is like rugby for poofs

[sting-ray]

So what do you think Stevie Gerrard will do? I would like to see him stay at Pool, i'd rather he help Liverpool beat us than help Chelsea do it

[metal-militia]

I think he'll stay at Liverpool now that they are in the CL next season.

[Britney Diva]

Hmm.... I know we aren't popular at the moment, but what about Chelsea :D I think we didn't actually show our full potential this year, with Robben and Duff being injured a lot, and Kezman and Drogba being useless..

Actually, I think Robben and Duff's injuries showed what an empty team Chelsea really are. Joe Cole showed himself to be hopelessly inconsistent, and Mourinho was completely unable to compensate for the absence of both players as evidenced by the disaster that was the Liverpool games.

I think he'll stay at Liverpool now that they are in the CL next season.

I don't, to be honest. He's won the CL with them now and their prospects of winning the league are tiny at best. I think he'll **** off somewhere where he can win some silverware.

[Ganondorf]

He's won basically everything with them apart from the Premiership.

[jcxstargazer]

I think GD is right about Chelsea though. When Robben was injured, and Chelsea began losing, all of their fans started saying "wait until Robben comes back". That doesnt say much for the rest of the team if they depend on one player that much

[Dead Star]

They have enough moneyy, they shouldn't depend on one player.

[BasShorty]

Sweden will be the next world-champs.

[Ganondorf]

No, if England don't win the World Cup, I want Holland to win it.

[StandingStill]

Did you guys miss the BrazilVGreece game? My money is on Brazil I'm afraid.

[D@n]

What is the confederations cup ?

[Ganondorf]

Where all the contitnental champions (eg Euro, Africa, Asia) and the World Champions (Brazil) and maybe some other teams compete in a tournament.

[metal-militia]

What is the confederations cup ?

a practice for the world cup, which is a year later. They use it to test out facilities and security etc. Has some good teams in this year like Brazil, Argentina, and Germany.

[StoneRosesFanatic]

England will not win it, our team is stupidly overhyped. It'll be the usual suspects who win it - Germany, Italy, Brazil, Argentina.

Simple as.

[BasShorty]

No, if England don't win the World Cup, I want Holland to win it.

if Sweden don't win, I want either England or Italy to win it.

[red barchetta]

Simple as.
no chance for germany i think. they haven't got the strength to do what they did in the last world cup.

i want portugal or czech to win. but brazil WILL win.

[Lord Abortion]

Is it just me or should football scouts just sit at home and play football manager?

I knew about robinho a couple of years back just playing that, what happens?
he's in talks with real

same goes for tevez, jouquin, baptista, xabi alonso and countless others...

it's very accurate

[red barchetta]

i know, its a great way of getting to know players from other leagues. i only found out about juninho pernambucano by playing football manager.

[Ganondorf]

England will not win it, our team is stupidly overhyped. It'll be the usual suspects who win it - Germany, Italy, Brazil, Argentina.

Simple as.

No. Everyone knows how good Rooney and Owen are, , and Gerrard and Lampard are very well sought after all over Europe. And we're spoilt for choice in the centre back position.

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Germany are the team that's absurdly over rated. England have a great squad and along with Argentina, Brazil, Spain and Italy are the favorites

[MILF Hunter]

Germany are the team that's absurdly over rated. England have a great squad and along with Argentina, Brazil, Spain and Italy are the favorites


France

[MILF Hunter]

Plus I dont think Italy are much good anymore judging by the last few cups

[Ganondorf]

France seem to be failing internationally.

Has Zidane finished playing for his country yet?

[Dead Star]

Scotland vs Italy

:cool:

[Ganondorf]

Holland are udneratted by you guys.

[red barchetta]

yeah, he's finished. the french team has changed quite a bit.

[sting-ray]

Germany are the team that's absurdly over rated. England have a great squad and along with Argentina, Brazil, Spain and Italy are the favorites

Germany has a great team... they just need to find a winning combination since most of the team is at the same level of skill

[metal-militia]

I think Holland/Germany/Brazil will win next year. Haven't quite decided on one yet.

[jcxstargazer]

I cant see France doing much this time around.

Lets get Henry a British passport!

[red barchetta]

how do you think Czech republic will do in the world cup? they're ranked 2nd in the FIFA world ranking

[Lord Abortion]

Germany has a great team... they just need to find a winning combination since most of the team is at the same level of skill
schweinsteiger looks to be the real class act for them next year

(apart from ballack, like)

[Britney Diva]

how do you think Czech republic will do in the world cup? they're ranked 2nd in the FIFA world ranking

I doubt they'll do well, they tend to be a letdown in major competitions, despite almost always qualifying first. That said, I don't rate their team at the moment, they've aged without really replacing anyone.

[sting-ray]

schweinsteiger looks to be the real class act for them next year

(apart from ballack, like)


don't forget Lukas Podolski. He's just turned 20 and already has the tools to be better than most strikers. Per Mertesacker will be very good in a year or two... this guy is a huge and has alot of potential. Robert Huth is a little bit too bold still. Arne Friedrich is very dangerous down the wings. Tomas Hitzlsperger will improve slowly.. he is already quite solid. Torsten Frings is a good, solid, and reliable player. Michael Ballack is already an established player. Sebastian Deisler is very strong in attack. And so on...

this is a very young team with outstanding potential. Consistancy might be a big problem though.. especially for the defence.

[Ganondorf]

I doubt they'll do well, they tend to be a letdown in major competitions, despite almost always qualifying first. That said, I don't rate their team at the moment, they've aged without really replacing anyone.

Yeah Nedved retired.

Anyway, yeah, I think Holland have a decent chace they have so many good players, including people like Cocu, van Nistelrooy and Robben.

[red barchetta]

i think holland's key player is Van Bommel

[Ganondorf]

Amen, also Van Der Sar is solid in goal. Seriously, they have a ton of good players.

Are people like Bergkamp and Davids retired from international football yet?

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

I think Van Bommel is very over rated. Great shot on him , but nothing too special IMO.

The Ajax midfielder Van De Vart will grow to be far more influential

[Angry Balled Fists!]

:lol:

Holland didn't even qualify for the last one i don't think...

Brazil, England of Czech will win

[red barchetta]

Amen, also Van Der Sar is solid in goal. Seriously, they have a ton of good players.

Are people like Bergkamp and Davids retired from international football yet?
not sure about Davids and Seedorf, but Berkamp retired a few years back.

but there's Van Persie to replace Overmars, and Van Nistelrooy to replace Bergkamp. so it's all good :)

i love 'Van' player...

[metal-militia]

The Ajax midfielder Van De Vart will grow to be far more influential

Yeah he's a good player allready... is he a regular for Holland yet?

Everyone like my new avatar? Rory Delap is a legend. :thumb:

[red barchetta]

nice avater :thumb:


mexico 1 - 0 brazil :)

[Ganondorf]

:lol:

Holland didn't even qualify for the last one i don't think...

Brazil, England of Czech will win

Czech won't do too well. especially if teams like Italy, Spain and Germany decide to actually show up (unlike in Euro 2004).


Also, if you look at the quality in the Dutch side, you can see why I consider the possibility of them winning.

[KappaKid17]

I think the Czech's are fairly formidable, and will definitely make it to at least the 3rd place match. Brazil, Holland, Italy, and Argentina look like shoe-ins as well. It'd be awesome to see the Dutch raise the cup, though.

[phonar]

you really are a dick. no, really.

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

the czech side really are so underrated, i think they are brilliant. Great footballers, and good to watch, they'll do well

[red barchetta]

yeah, everyone's like 'ooh, they don't have Nedved anymore', but they have plenty of good players. Baros plays very well for them, Koller is brilliant, there's Cech in goal, and then theres Rosicky, Poborsky, Galasek... excellent team. excellent teamwork.

[Ganondorf]

IMO, England > Czech Republik

[metal-militia]

soccer is crap

why are you still here?

There is no way England are better than the Czechs. For some reason they seem do really well in qualifying and fall at the last hurdle in the important matches.

[Ganondorf]

Hopefully England draw the Czech's in the group stages so we can beat them ;)

[red barchetta]

or get beaten :p

seriously though, dont underestimate the Czechs

[ChodaBoy]

We dont underestimate them though, they didnt get to the semis of Euro by luck

[Britney Diva]

the czech side really are so underrated, i think they are brilliant. Great footballers, and good to watch, they'll do well

I dunno. They've played us(Ireland) a couple of times in recent years(most recently last year, and have looked far from impressive. Granted, they were friendly matches, but they didn't look like an outfit who could put in a quality performance when asked.

[phonar]

u can never change my mind cause soccer is the crapest sport

[ChodaBoy]

Who is this guy? I swear that I've never actually heard of him before
Yeah, same here, although for 8m he cant be too bad.

u can never change my mind cause soccer is the crapest sport
Your mum is worse...
Sorry, immature I know, but hes annoying as hell now

[phonar]

im not immature this a thread to post my thoughts and look wat im doing daaaaa postin my threads

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Trust me, the czechs are a great teams. Look at their perfomances in the last four major tournaments, they have knocked out some major competitors in their time

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/4083412.stm

Who is this guy? :confused: I swear that I've never actually heard of him before...either way it's in keeping with Chelsea under Mourinho not buying massive established stars but relatively lesser known, younger players. It's tough on Wayne Bridge though since he'll realistically be second choice now and I've never really seen him do anything particularly wrong for Chelsea.

Del Horno is a pretyt good left back, and Bridge has never played to well for Chelsea. He was often kept out of the side by Gallas who's not even a left back.

im not immature this a thread to post my thoughts and look wat im doing daaaaa postin my threads

The fact that you thought the poster above you was calling you immature shows how immature you are

[metal-militia]

we are here to discuss football, so please leave as you are not contributing to anything.

Now Chelsea's new left back can force out Bridge... and he can make a return to the saints! :p :cool:

:upset: never going to happen

he was linked with us i think a while back, or am i thinking of duff? meh, whatever. sure the chip papers will dream up all manner of alleged transfer stories.

[ChodaBoy]

I would never trust the papers when it comes to transfers, they are usually 100% lies.
Next week it'll be "Shock Drogba- West Brom move"

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Well, never trust tabloid papers as they will make up anything to get people to buy them.

Other papers are more reliable

[metal-militia]

well in the summer when football stories are few and far between lots of stories are made up just to fill space.

what do people think of Fariah Allam saying Davis sexually harrassed her? FA seen keen to back him 100% and he's denied it all.

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

nothing will come of it, whether he did it or not

[Ganondorf]

Sky Sports website has a Saviola to WBA report :rolleyes:

[MILF Hunter]

Well, never trust tabloid papers as they will make up anything to get people to buy them.

Yet more boring..

[red barchetta]

japan drew against brazil 2-2 in confed. cup!!!

because of goal difference, we dont go through to the semi-finals , but i'm still bloody proud of my country :D

[pendrightheloved1]

Man United got Ji Sung Park for 4 mil, thats pretty cool. Hope they get Owen too.

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Yeah that's a good deal.

Apparently chelsea inquired about Schevchenko again but were rebuffed.

[Ulysses]

Chelsea will probably end up signing Shevchenko one of these days with the cash they've got.

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

supposedly Milan have rejected a £57million bid....

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Fixture lists are up, Arsenal have got a very tough start including Chelsea on the second weekend of the season.

they finish at arsenal as well, last ever game at highbury

[StoneRosesFanatic]

Well - I am off to at least two everton games (I don't live anywhere near Liverpool) - ManUre and RS at Goodison.

Gonna be a great season. :D

[metal-militia]

I dont believe it. With my lack of money and transport, i can only go to Saints away games near me, and we play the closest team (Luton) to me while im on holliday. :angry:

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Ooh, Arsenal first, Chelsea last...

[Ganondorf]

Man City first, one of the few teams we beat last season ;)

[ChodaBoy]

:shakes fist:

[red barchetta]

i want man city or tottenham to go to europe this season. they deserve to. more than stupid bolton.

[StandingStill]

Bolton are horrible to watch. Spurs will be great to watch this season specially if Chelsea give us a couple of players for Arnescum.

[Ganondorf]

To be honest, I'd never even heard fof the guy until he got tapped up.

[bassman04]

Fixture lists are up, Arsenal have got a very tough start including Chelsea on the second weekend of the season.

At least they have a nice easy 5-0 and 3 points against the Toon at the start of the season :upset:
