Euro 2008 (Official LOL Vidic Thread)

[MILF Hunter]

We got Rushden and Diamonds away..****in miles away

[Lord Abortion]

park has passed his medical, great!

carlos quieroz has denied any interest in owen, cassillias or figo

united signing those players, however, may win them the premiership next season...

[metal-militia]

I thought Park looked very good in the CL, looks like United have got a good deal.

[red barchetta]

park is excellent. he's only 24 as well, which is another plus.

he is one of Korea's best player (who, remember, was 4th in the last world cup)

[metal-militia]

isn't he the first Korean player in the premiership?

[red barchetta]

yeah he is.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Emre is only 24 aswell, i really hope he joins...

[red barchetta]

and Hleb is only 24 as well. hope he goes to Arsenal...

[ChodaBoy]

I hope City can get some money so I can say "Wow, we might be buying (insert good player)."

[red barchetta]

but city do have an amazing manager.

[Ganondorf]

WBA got Carter from Birmingham.

[Big_$penser_*]

im playing high school football, im trying out for db, scince im fast n tall.

[ChodaBoy]

Methinks you are talking about the wrong kind of football.

this is soccer

[Ganondorf]

Db?

[metal-militia]

this is soccer

No, this is FOOTBALL!

[ChodaBoy]

Well, yeah, but you get where I was going

[sting-ray]

Hleb played very well for VfB Stuttgart ... And Wenger made it public that Hleb "can start packing his bags to come to us"

[Lord Abortion]

I hope City can get some money so I can say "Wow, we might be buying (insert good player)."
selling SWP would be the only way this would happen

[Ganondorf]

They sold him to Chelsea almost for sure according to The Mirror.

[metal-militia]

:lol: Werder Bremen are trying to get Jelle Van Damme of us on loan. They can have him for free.... he's one of the worst defenders i have ever seen!

[Lord Abortion]

They sold him to Chelsea almost for sure according to The Mirror.
indeed, I read that this morning

we want torres!

[Dave de Sylvia]

Brazil 3 Germany 2.

I wanted the krauts to win. :( Germany look a vastly improved side from WC2002 but based on this tournament, they still don't have the quality to contend properly. Distribution was poor from players who should be better, like Schneider and Deisler, and they're still lacking the edge up front. Defence looks quite solid, though, which is great to see again in a German team.

[red barchetta]

stupid brazil

hopefully argentina/mexico will beat them (again) in the final

[ChodaBoy]

I dont mind Brazil, provided they arent in the same competition as England. They are very good to watch because they're usually very fluent - a bit like Arsenal when they play 03/04 season type football

[MILF Hunter]

Can someone explain what the confederation cup is?

[skateMASTERbater2]

i believe it's just a practice for the world cup to test security and everything. I may be wrong though

[metal-militia]

i believe it's just a practice for the world cup to test security and everything. I may be wrong though

you are corect. Its held in the host nation for the WC next year.

:evil:

[metal-militia]

:evil:

sorry, but he is truly awful. My team finished bottom of the premiership, and he didn't even hardly make the first choice squad. Thats how bad he is.

[MILF Hunter]

you are corect. Its held in the host nation for the WC next year.


Thanks, So why didnt England take part?

[red barchetta]

Thanks, So why didnt England take part?
they havent won anything. you need to be a champion to enter.




argentina vs brazil in the final. should be good.

[Iai]

isn't it just a one-game thing, ptiting the previous winners against the hosts?

ie the only two teams that have no qualifiers.

Edit: Nope, totally wrong.

[metal-militia]

argentina vs brazil in the final. should be good.
I think Mexico were unlucky vs the Argies... did anyone watch it?

[Angry Balled Fists!]

A bit of it...

I hope Brazil win, i like their football.

[red barchetta]

6-5 on penalties. that's how close mexico were.

argentina will have a tough game against brazil, especially now that Saviola is suspended.

EDIT:were argentina the winners of the last confedarations cup? because:

Mexico - champions of S. america
japan - champions of asia
austrailia - champions of Oceania
greece - champions of europe
brazil - champions of world
tunisia - champions of africa
germany - hosts
argentina - ?

[ChodaBoy]

I saw the goal in ET, they were so lucky with that

edit: just noticed its been pointed out. :upset:

[whatduffhuck7]

i was just watching the brazil v germany game. what a great game that was. ref made 2 bad calls imo with the 2 pk's. expeccially the 2nd one. dosent matter he equaled it out with 1 bad call for each team and they both scored.

[Give me Beer]

You know why Brazil is going to win this? They were the one team in the semi-finals that I would hate to see win.

It's been like that every tournament that I've watched since WC 1998. :) '98 and '00 I wanted anyone but France to win, who won? France, '02 anyone but Brazil, who won? Brazil! '04, anyone but Greece...uhu, tough break.

So yea, it's a done case, Brazil will win because I don't like 'm.

[Bucho]

:lol: What's not to like?

[Ganondorf]

Brazil were winners of South America and the World, and so they invited the second placed South American team Agrentina to play to fill out the gaps.

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

one of the worst kept transfer secrets of all time looks to now be concluded. Should be a good signing, although the deal is subject to him obtaining a work permit (should be no trouble though)

http://www.arsenal.com/article.asp?article=287700&lid=NewsHeadline&sub=Alexander+Hleb+agrees+to+join+Arsenal+Football +Club&navlid=&sublid=&Title=Alexander+Hleb+agrees+to+join+Arsenal+Footba ll+Club

[red barchetta]

arent arsenal going for Robinho as well?

[pendrightheloved1]

Is anyone gonna go to the World Cup next year? I'm thinking about going, as long as my exams arent at the same time.

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

it's in my gap year so i'll prbably go over there even if i can't get match tickets, providing i can get the money together

[metal-militia]

woo! Saints sign Dennis Wise. :p :D

[Dead Star]

Our school is doing an exchange with a German one to coincide with the World Cup. I want to go...

[Lord Abortion]

arent arsenal going for Robinho as well?
why don't united go for these sort of people?

he's one of the best talents in world football, though I would prefer tevez or torres at the club

[MILF Hunter]

Unbeleiveable. Who do we get in the Carling Cup first round. Only our local bloody rivals Hartlepool. should be a fantastic game. :lol:

I would love to go to the world cup, I will go to the next one, when i'm older...

[Ganondorf]

Yeah, I'll be 20 at the next one.

[ChodaBoy]

What time is the Final confederations match on?

[red barchetta]

7.30 on channel 5, kick off at 7.45

[Angry Balled Fists!]

ooh, might watch it.

/waits for the season to start

[Grondahl]

Brazil won 4-1. Adriano got two along with Kaka and Ronaldinho. Aimar replied for Argentina. The whole Brazilian team were immense, but the pick was Adriano.

And in other, more important, news Preston sign 19-year-old Dave Hibbert from Port Vale :cool:

[pendrightheloved1]

i missed it cause i dont have channel 5 in my room:(

[red barchetta]

brazil's 4th goal was just pure class. they got about 20 passes before the goal

[Grondahl]

Kaka's goal showed just how good he is. Some fantastic control and then a perfectly placed shot.

[sting-ray]

that game was crap to watch..

[guitarbaz]

i only saw the last 10 minutes of the game and there was some class football in there. quite breathtaking some of the passes.

better not get used to it....

[sting-ray]

the way things started was crap. Poor defensive lapses and diving all over the place.. very chippy game... it got better during the latter stages

[metal-militia]

well both teams don't have amazing defences considering they have some of the best players in the world.

[red barchetta]

lucio was the only good defender throughout the whole game

[poorquality]

Twas a great match to be fair. Argentina didnt try and turn it on until like the 70th minute when they scored. Man I cant wait for the football season to start again :@

[ChodaBoy]

What do you think about the Glazers being escorted out of Old Trafford in a police van? I think its stupid. Fair enough, we know that they had made some changes at Tampa Bay, but they haven't been given a single chance since they have told us about their intrest in the club. And now fans decide to go and riot because they're here? Its pathetic imo

it made me chuckle a bit actually. watching those mancs getting their arses kicked by the filth.. :lol:

can't say i approve of what the glazer family is doing mind you, i'd be mad if it were my club..

I think what the fans are pissed about is the fact that Glazer's transferring all the loans he's taken out to buy the club onto the United books. In essence, Man U are now saddled with a huge debt. If it was my club, I'd be pretty angry as well. Not that anyone would want to buy Preston, though.

[red barchetta]

Man U might even become a Leeds United. poor Alan Smith.

[Ganondorf]

:lol: If only we were so lucky.

You're right, most fans would be pissed off. Did you see that the fans made a new club? Just like Wimbledon when they moved here and became MK Dons.

[Grondahl]

You're right, most fans would be pissed off. Did you see that the fans made a new club? Just like Wimbledon when they moved here and became MK Dons.

FC United of Manchester, right? Yeah, I heard about that. I even considered trying out for them, but it would be too much hassle to travel to Manchester all the time. Do they have any famous players? Like when AFC Wimbledon formed, some ex-Wimbledon players joined them.

[ChodaBoy]

They were on SSN a few weeks ago. It didnt look exactly impressive

[Grondahl]

:eek:

Christian Vieri's been released by Inter!

[metal-militia]

Alliadiere went to Celtic on a season long loan.

Can't belive that about Vieri, he's a great player.

[ChodaBoy]

My god. Are they incredibly stupid or what?

[Grondahl]

Here's the story:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/4640613.stm

What I don't get is that he still had a year left on his contract. Why didn't they sell him instead of releasing him, if they didn't want him? There are plenty of clubs that would've payed a few million to get him.

[metal-militia]

maybe it was a bust up with some players.

Some Asian side released Alpay (turkish guy who was at Villa) becuase he got 3 red cards in 7 games. :lol:

[Grondahl]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

That's brilliant. But I thought Alpay was sold to some Turkish side? :confused:

[red barchetta]

i think it was Urawa Reds, a japanese team, who had Alpay.



it'll be great if Tottenham get Vieri

[sting-ray]

Vieri's form compared to his salary is not well balanced... i think he would have to take a pay cut wherever he goes..

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Yeah, as a lot of players in his position would have to. It seems only two clubs in Spain, and two in England can afford the massive wages players recieve in Italy.

I'd think a number a clubs would be interested in this guy, he used to be amazing. Souness has admitted interest

[sting-ray]

vieri isn't stable either... wherever he goes i bet he'll leave the following year.

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

vieri isn't stable either... wherever he goes i bet he'll leave the following year.

how do you mean stable? mentally?

I'd think there's a fair chance of that happening, or he'll head of to some rich Arab club to retire with a huge pay packet

[sting-ray]

hahaha no i mean he can't stay with one team for too long... he stayed at inter for like 3 years or something and that was his career high lol

[sting-ray]

I think
Saviola would be a good pickup for any team though

[Ganondorf]

West Brom to get Saviola.

[metal-militia]

West Brom to get Saviola.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Saints signed Darren Powell yesterday. Hopefully he can improve our shambolic defence.

[Ganondorf]

Saints have a pretty poor defence, especially considering how good Niemi is.

[red barchetta]

isnt Niemi leaving Southampton? doesnt Celtic want him or something?

[metal-militia]

isnt Niemi leaving Southampton? doesnt Celtic want him or something?


yeah they do. I think its only a matter of time before he leaves.

Southampton have an amazing central defender, Michael Svenson, but he's been out for 16 months.

[Rage_Against_The_PC]

yeah they do. I think its only a matter of time before he leaves.

i dont know, im not a Saints fan

[Rage_Against_The_PC]

lol , all i can say is uve made the right choice :thumb: :lol:

[metal-militia]

yes Anders left, and good riddance. Michael Svennson is a great defender. If he had been fit last season i reckon we wouldn't have gone down.

[ChodaBoy]

yes Anders left, and good riddance. Michael Svennson is a great defender. If he had been fit last season i reckon we wouldn't have gone down.
I hope he left for a terrible team! He ruined the last match at Maine Road. Grr.
I wish Gerrard would sort out whats going on

[Grondahl]

I hope he left for a terrible team! He ruined the last match at Maine Road. Grr.

I don't think Gerrard ever really wanted to stay. His agent blamed the breakdown in contract talks on the fact that negotiations didn't start soon enough. But Liverpool tried to get Gerrard to talk about a new contract three times last season and he told them to 'wait'. It seems to me that this is just an excuse so that the fans won't hate him.

[metal-militia]

I hope he left for a terrible team! He ruined the last match at Maine Road. Grr.

i was at that game :D Michael (the scorer) didn't leave. Anders left, and went back to Sweden.

[ChodaBoy]

Still...Grr. :upset:

:eek: @ Chelsea's reported bid. Thats alot of money. I think he's going to leave now, theres more possibilites at Chelsea

[sting-ray]

samuel and solari are on their wayto inter :cool:

[Ganondorf]

Gerrard's won everything apart from the Premiership with Liverpool, he might as well stay.....

[guitarbaz]

Still...Grr. :upset:

:eek: @ Chelsea's reported bid. Thats alot of money. I think he's going to leave now, theres more possibilites at Chelsea

sad really that chelski are tempting him into becoming another football whore. if he stays at liverpool he'll be a legend there and they're on the up. chelsea are just a team of the moment, once the money goes (and it will when abramovic gets bored) they'll be ordinary once again. gerrard needs to stay where he is if common sense prevails.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Gerrard's won everything apart from the Premiership with Liverpool, he might as well stay.....

Or perhaps that's a reason to leave. I can't see Liverpool amassing a serious title challenge any time soon.

[Lord Abortion]

samuel and solari are on their wayto inter :cool:
one of the best defenders in the world... ON LOAN??

he must have found it really difficult to settle in spain.

on gerrard: if chelsea sign him it means united would sign essien, right?

just a thought...

[Ganondorf]

Gerrard said he wants to leave, officially......If I was a Liverpool fan I'd be REALLY pissed of.

[ChodaBoy]

He'll probably go to Chelsea, to do what? Sit on the bench like everyone else they buy

[poorquality]

Well here will probably be the first example of the Glazers impact at united...United have openly admitted gerrard is one of the best and would love him at the club.

Gerrard hands a transfer request in now...

Let's see if Glazer allows Fergie the funds to approach to buy

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

he'll walk into chelsea's team, he'd be their best player.

F'cuking dick for wanting to leave pool though, seems there really is no loyalty in football these days

[ChodaBoy]

Its all money

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

oh standard. But how greedy can you get? Pool offered him £100,000 a week for f'ucks sake

[Ganondorf]

Yeah, he said he wanted to win trophies, they win like the most prestigious club competition and he still wants to leave....

[Dave de Sylvia]

I can't see Gerrard walking into Chelsea's team. They don't need him. What they need is a goalscoring combination, Gerrard's presence would interfere with Makelele's work imo. I think Gerrard is overrated anyway. He's capable of greatness, but 9 times out of 10 he doesn't show up when he's needed.

[metal-militia]

well, he'll probably replace Makelele. Chelsea buy way too many players, so everyone just ends up getting replaced pretty quickly.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Replace Makelele? No way. Makelele is the glue that holds Chelsea together. Without him they'd fall apart. He's something Gerrard isn't - consistent.

[metal-militia]

Gerrard is a great player, but sometimes he does look a little uninterested. Who will be forced out of Chelsea then? There is no way they will drop Lamps...

[red barchetta]

Gerrard is a great player, but sometimes he does look a little uninterested. Who will be forced out of Chelsea then? There is no way they will drop Lamps...
they'll have to change their formation completely if they want to include Gerrard, cos he's no way as consistant as Makelele and he's not a player like Joe Cole.

they dont really need Gerrard i think. he'll fit in perfectly in Real Madrid though

[Angry Balled Fists!]

It would be GREAT is Gerrard leaves.

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

how so Dan?

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Because i hate Liverpool.

Two of my best mates support them, and they were saying they didn't care because they would get Ballack, Aimar or Torres instead...:lol:

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

They'll probabky sign Baraja from Valencia as a replacement, i'd imagine

[Ganondorf]

yeah, Benitez old team.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Xabi Alonso is more than a capable replacement for Gerrard - he's been amazing this season when fit. Against Tottenham towards the end of the season, he upstaged Gerrard in his first game back from injury. More importantly, he appears not to have that giant ego which afflicts Gerrard.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Argh, he's staying !!

[Lord Abortion]

Because i hate Liverpool.

Two of my best mates support them, and they were saying they didn't care because they would get Ballack, Aimar or Torres instead...:lol:
haha, why the **** would three of the best players in the world want to go to a fourth rate (alright they won the champions league, but by complete fluke) side like liverpool?

he's staying anyway

[davey]

Its official gerrard has made a u-turn and decided to stay which has stunned me to say the least. Im happy cos he wont be going to chelsea but that means now that the're going to turn their attention to shaun wright-phillips. I think its just a matter of time before wright-phillips joins chelsea even if it isnt this summer it will be next year i think he may not want to leave city this summer because of the world cup next year and if hes isnt playing week in week out at chelsea it might effect his chances of getting picked. But he will join chelsea at some point its just a matter of time.......

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Good point.

Peter Kay is so funny.

[red barchetta]

Vieri's going to AC milan. i dont get it... they get him instead of trying to permenantly sign Crespo...

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

Vieiri has signed a two year deal with Milan. They signed him as they said they got bored of waiting for Chelsea to sort out what they were gonna do with Crespo, and Crespo's agent has now said that he's going to play for Chelsea next year.

Milan said they felt sorry for Crespo

It's odd that chelsea were going to pay anything up to 60 mill for a new striker and they already have one of the best in europe on their team in crespo, I was incredibly pissed off when chelsea bought him, he just never settled over here, my bet is mourinho can get the best out of him.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Gerrard's head must be almost as big as his paycheck now. Ya reckon it was all a big ego-trip?

[Kickflip_Burrito]

Apparently Real Madrid are in the race to sign him now but my friend told me this morning that Gerrard wants to stay with Liverpool.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Real said they didn't want to get in a bidding war, so they set a maximum of 50m euro, which Chelsea would almost certainly top. Gerrard is expected to sign a new contract on Friday, but he'll probably change his mind 7 or 8 times in the mean time.

[secret agent man]

so figo coming to liverpool for 2 million eh? is it worth it?
wudnt mind him on a free but he's past it now and was over rated anyway

[KappaKid17]

It'd probably be better just to liven up the new talent instead of trying to let him play on.

[guitarbaz]

Gerrard's head must be almost as big as his paycheck now. Ya reckon it was all a big ego-trip?

i don't think he's that clever to be honest.

probably just realised he's a hometown boy and that's where he wants to stay. good on him, nice to see loyaly overriding money (yeah i know he's getting a bigger weekly wage but he'd have got a hefty chuck of the transfer fee).

also good to see chelsea's fat wallet fail them. :D

[metal-militia]

so figo coming to liverpool for 2 million eh? is it worth it?

[KappaKid17]

Juve don't need him.

[Ganondorf]

Viera is fine at Arsenal.

[metal-militia]

This is just like the Viera rumours last summer, and i doubt he will leave.

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

I completely agree. Vieira to leave arsenal is just one of these tiresome stories that will coninually pop up every summer without fail. No doubt Real madrid will enter the running soon with 'a huge bid to test arsenal's resolve' or something along those lines.

In other arsenal news our young striker Arturo Lupoli was on the tube going to arsenal's training ground when the bombs went off. He was rushed off and is ok though

I'd like to know also what channel Man U. usually would play on. Also when does the season begin again?

/Feels like a n00b..:(

All Premiership games are shown on various channels run by the company Sky. Its a satellite company so we have to pay extra to see it, one of their channels is a PPV channel too - which isnt good.

[Surtr]

Hmmm..I'm looking at the website for the sky channels..and looks as if I may not be able to get it over here. Not cool!

Since when was Baptista a striker?

everyone calls him that and on FM 2005 he is labeled as a defensive midfielder, (I actually bought him as cover for fabien ernst when I was at Man U...)

[metal-militia]

Is it the right Baptista? Im sure he is a forward.

O and the season starts in Augast, not September.

[secret agent man]

i apoligize u r right. its like mid august cos of the world cup

[metal-militia]

world cup? this year? :p :lol: :rolleyes:

[secret agent man]

no i mean in preperation for next year, the season is starting a week earlier so england can train for the world cup 2006

[RCVA]

So.......Arsenal and Chelsea both after Shaun Wright-Phillips.
Chelsea want to get Essien and Shaun Wright Phillips. Greedy.

[RCVA]

Is it the right Baptista? Im sure he is a forward.
He's a striker for sevilla (can't remember how to spell that)
Anyway, he's going to stay there for another year so he can get dual nationality becoming a european citizen as well as argentinian. He'll probably go to Arsenal next year.

[metal-militia]

Chelsea want to get Essien and Shaun Wright Phillips. Greedy.


Saw that Essien thing.... Lyon are supposed to have rejected a £17m bid, but Essien wants to leave.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

I haven't posted in here in ages.

[metal-militia]

Yes! Celtic got some keeper and are no longer interested in Niemi! :D

[MILF Hunter]

Liverpool game is on tonight. Predictions?

[metal-militia]

[Surtr]

[Ganondorf]

4-0

[Angry Balled Fists!]

[MILF Hunter]

0-1

your wrong already

[FisMits]

Shels 2 - 0 Glentoran

[metal-militia]

3-0

i win :)

today i went to MK Dons vs WBA, and i must say WBA were very lucky to win. Thomas Kuszach (sp) was amazing, and is so much better than Russel Hoult.

[Ganondorf]

What, not their first team was it?

[FisMits]

Lets hope Shels continue on their run of forn from last year.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I doubt it, they've been on a horrible run lately.

[metal-militia]

What, not their first team was it?

Gera, Hoult, Greening, Albrechtsen, Inamoto, Horsefield were the names i recognised. There were quite a few youngsters, and a few of them were ok, but a couple were awful.

[red barchetta]

inamoto is back? i thought he was injured, cos he hasnt played any international football for about a year...

fukunishi is better than him anyway though :p

[metal-militia]

Inamoto did nothing. Best WBA were Greening, Albrechtsen and Kuszczak. Kuszczac shouldve been man of the match, he was fantastic.

[ChodaBoy]

Wow, Viera is FINALLY off!

After 4 years of will he/wont he, its been settled

[red barchetta]

sad it may be for all arsenal fans, i think it was a good decision. its better to sell him now before he turns into a Scholes or Keane.

now arsenal can go for Wright-Phillips and Batista with more money

[Ganondorf]

They should get Van Der Vaart.

[Ganondorf]

Anyway, yeah, Viera's gone, hahaha Arsenal.

[Iai]

****. My girlfriend supports Arsenal, she'll be gutted.

[metal-militia]

Shame Arsenal sold him because on his day Viera is a class player.

[masoniscoolerthanu]

ya did any1 see that sween badmitten game on lastnight?...espn8 the ocho...look 3 up???????????????
ok i am sure u 2 have a gr8 relationship

[123...transmogrify!]

did any one else realize that football is a waste of time and maybe if instead of watching it all the time, you got off your fat a$$ then maybe you could lose wieght and stop the plague of obesity in this **** hole country...

[Ganondorf]

no.

[guitarbaz]

no.

[MILF Hunter]

Darlington are getting the biggest Tv screen in the whole football league installed :confused:

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

haha how come? Strange investment.

Vieira's finally gone, that guy has been a real cunt for the last three years

[MILF Hunter]

Chairman Stewart Davies said: “I am determined to make match days at Darlington Football Club as entertaining and attractive to fans old and new so that, as well as watching a football match, they leave feeling they have had a full day out.

“This screen is the biggest in the football league and the only fully interactive large screen in football in the North of England. I want fans to be able to get more from their visit to Darlington FC, while keeping the emphasis on football.”

[guitarbaz]

maybe they could do the same at St James' but they could actually play some good football on the screen to stop us watching the s.hite that usually takes place on the pitch...

[MILF Hunter]

Hartlepool are charging 18 quid a ticket aswell for the Darlo - Pools cup game. ****in rip off

[Dave de Sylvia]

****. My girlfriend supports Arsenal, she'll be gutted.

Probably not. The team's probably better without an arrogant **** announcing he's leaving the club every summer.

[metal-militia]

Darlington are getting the biggest Tv screen in the whole football league installed :confused:

Don't Darlington have some massive stadium and never even come close to selling it out? How come such a big stadium was built there for them when its not gunna be full week after week.

[Matt_p]

Whooooo Pig sueiiiie

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I wont sleep tonight now

[red barchetta]

who the hell would spend 20 million for Jermaine Jenas?

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

exactly, he's no good at all.

Signing him as a replacement for vieira would be a waste of time, we may as well sign peter beardsley or someone. At least they were good at some point

[Ganondorf]

Tiago's goal against Man U last season was awesome. Goal of the Season for me.....

[thepopeliveson]

is any one out there following the eircom league in ireland.im a major shelbourne fan and i think this could be another sucessful season for irish teams in europe

[clown_phobia]

Does anyone play the football management game sundayleague.com ?

I think it's really fun!

Am I allowed to talk about this in here?

[ChodaBoy]

****ing bullshit.
SWP asks to speak to Chelsea.

WHY!?
He'll only end up on the bench every week

[davey]

****ing bullshit.
SWP asks to speak to Chelsea.

WHY!?
He'll only end up on the bench every week
I know, they dont need him!! The've already got robben and duff, joe cole can play on the wing aswell, they would ruin him as a player because he would just warm the bench everyweek. Im convinced that chelsea are only buying him to piss off arsenal because arsenal have admired him for sometime and being ian wrights son they obviously want him to play for them and everything

[metal-militia]

****ing bullshit.
SWP asks to speak to Chelsea.

WHY!?

Thats what happened to Scott Parker. Shame really... he was on the fringes of England and now that he's hardly played he's never in with a chance to get in the squad.

[ChodaBoy]

The thing is, its hard to say why he would want to go there. After he had a phone call on the pitch today, he walked off and looked really sad, that doesnt seem like someone who is excited about whats going to happen

[Lord Abortion]

Since I haven't posted here for a week...

does anyone know anything about this keeper man U are trying to sign?

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

he's a third choice keeper for a lower league team, thats all i know

Henry is the new arsenal skipper

[sting-ray]

i bought the new Inter kit today

[clown_phobia]

What's it like? Still the blue colour?

[OnePartHarmony]

OOOOH. You mean FOOTBALL. Like soccer.... only not American. Uh...so...Manchester United got a new owner...

...off I go

[clown_phobia]

OOOOH. You mean FOOTBALL. Like soccer.... only not American. Uh...so...Manchester United got a new owner...

Yeah the fans weren't too happy with that

[red barchetta]

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/4621425.stm

stupid Chelsea (and Wright Phillips). :upset:

[jcxstargazer]

Is Romeo Castelen any good?
I've never heard of him, but he's rated at £4m, and City are supposed to be after him

[Lord Abortion]

wright-phillips is a bloody idiot, say goodbye to an england shirt, Shaun...

awesome, we beat clyde 5-1 yesterday, w00t

[Grondahl]

he's a third choice keeper for a lower league team, thats all i know

Stoke's 3rd choice. They're buying him for £2.5 million, if I remember correctly.

[Ganondorf]

What's the point of SWP going to Chelsea? It's kinda dumb, I would've preffered to see him at Arsenal (or WBA ;))

[jcxstargazer]

I can see the headlines now...

CITY TURN DOWN £21M FROM CHELSEA.ACCEPT £2M FROM BAGGIES

[Ganondorf]

Where did te Magpie part come from? :confused:

[jcxstargazer]

I have no idea what you're talking about Ganon

:smash:

[Ganondorf]

omg wanker ;)

[metal-militia]

I can see the headlines now...

WBA making a good signing!? :p

But seriously, this is going to harm SWP's chances of getting into the England squad, as he weont be playing every week.

[jcxstargazer]

It wouldnt have done him any harm to stay at City, he would have gotten alot better with all the match practice, and the way our training is done. Just like it wouldnt have hurt Rooney to stay at Everton.

But Chelsea call, he hears MONEY, and thats it - hes off

[Lord Abortion]

rooney situation is a little different to the one SWP has

1. rooney plays at united, SWP won't much at chelsea
2. everton are far better off without rooney
3. man u are better off WITH rooney

[Ganondorf]

Rooney is first choice in the team, SWP will be like 3rd or 4th behind Robbe, Duff and Cole.

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

SWP is better than Cole, probably on a par with Duff.

I'd play SWP on the right, with one of Duff and Robben left wing and the other as a second striker. Probably Robben up front

[Lord Abortion]

21 million for a not brilliant benchwarmer
they couldn't attract a REAL world class player as we have seen

[jcxstargazer]

21 million for a not brilliant benchwarmer
they couldn't attract a REAL world class player as we have seen
Hes not exactly crap

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

he's a very good player. excellent strength for his size, pace, skill and a goos shooting ability. I'd say under rated and i've seen him play live more than once

[Lord Abortion]

Hes not exactly crap
I'm not saying he is, but they could have bought jouquin for that...

[Kickflip_Burrito]

who the hell would spend 20 million for Jermaine Jenas?
I know! He is definately not of the same calibre as Vieira. We Arsenal fans have just gotta trust Wenger. Personally, I think Maniche, Van Bommel or Ballack would be a good replacement in the central midfield position.
