Euro 2008 (Official Man City LOL Thread)

[markface]

Who do you guys think are Englands best defence?

Mine: Robinson in goal
Gary Neville at right back
Ashley Cole at left back
Rio Ferdinand at centre back
John Terry at centre back

I don't really like the idea of Campbell not being in the team though, he was our best player at the past world cup and euro '04, also Carragher surpassed a lot of expectations. Ledley King and Woodgate could also be in with a shout. It's strange how England have got so many world class central defenders coming along all at one time.
I hope you guys lose just so I can laugh at you.
:lol:

[TakeWarning]

England's best defence IMO:
Paul Robinson in goal.
Ashley Cole at left back.
Rio Ferdinand at right back.
John Terry at centre back.
Ledley King at centre back.

[MILF Hunter]

Defoe ahead of Owen, :lol:

should be a victory for us though

Owen is suspended I think

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

yeah, he's suspended for the next competitive match (world cup qualifier) so Sven is playing Defoe as he feels that is the striking partnership that will start that game

[guitarbaz]

He went down easily did he?


yes, very.

and then rolled around like the big girl he is.

final judgement = the wrong decision was made by the "ref".

enough said.

Defoe is under-rated in my opinion.

[EdwardTheGreat]

Yes I'm top of the MxTabs Fantasy Football League!!! Only by one point, but week one goes to me!! Anyone got any tips on good transfers? I say look at Campbell in the future, 6 million is a bargain. When he's back he could do well.

[MILF Hunter]

4-1 to Denmark, England were appauling.

Joe Cole - Absolute crap.. does nothing, is sticky, doesnt even try to tackle anybody
Glen Johnson - Utter s'hite. Belongs in the conference not Internationals.
David James - ..the less said the better

[ChodaBoy]

David James - ..the less said the better
:nodding:

If he plays like that for City, We'll stick Danny Mills in net, hes never involved in any of our goals, maybe it'll for the other way too!

[MILF Hunter]

He gets so many chances to redeem himself. Then he goes and makes it even worse for himself

[guitarbaz]

meh, it was just a sloppy match.

james was calamitous as usual but there was some good playing on show. i'm not going to subscribe to the Sven bashing over a few minutes of madness. just as long as James never wears an England shirt again.

i've a sneaking suspicion it'll be a slightly different match against wales.

[munky_magik]

Scotland 2-2 Austria

Not bad at all :)

[Dead Star]

We kinda threw it away at the end though.

[munky_magik]

We kinda threw it away at the end though.
Hey, we didn't lose. There's hope :)

[Dead Star]

I suppose so.

:)

[munky_magik]

I suppose so.

:)
I watched the after game commentary and they were saying that we were unlucky to get the draw, but as far as I'm concerned drawing with Austria is much better than what we've achieved recently.

We look quite Promising with Elvis at the back and wee Sean Maloney up front.

[Dead Star]

I was really impressed with the way Kenny Miller played. Even if it was only for 45 minutes.

And didn't Austria hump us a couple of years back?

[munky_magik]

I was really impressed with the way Kenny Miller played. Even if it was only for 45 minutes.

I think Austria have humped us every time they've played us, bar three or four times.

[Dead Star]

Bring on Italy.

*points finger* ha ha

3 goals in 10 mins. I was pretty amazed, Dennis Rommedahl and Jon Dahl Thomasson were great

[Britney Diva]

Italy 2 Ireland 1 :(

We should have won.

[Twat_Out_Of_Hell]

yes, very.

and then rolled around like the big girl he is.

final judgement = the wrong decision was made by the "ref".

hahahahahahahaha

if you think that's going down easily then you've got serious judgement problems

:rolleyes:

Defoe is under-rated in my opinion.

he's nowhere near as good as owen



James was shocking, at serious fault for three of the goals. It looked more like Ash Cole was playing 'keeper for most of that match

[Lord Abortion]

Why the Hell is James even in the England team?
I thought we got rid of him?

he was shocking tonight

[red barchetta]

*points finger* ha ha

Tomasson is so under-rated. i think Stuttgart were very clever to sign him from Milan.

[guitarbaz]

if you think that's going down easily then you've got serious judgement problems

:rolleyes:



strange i wasn't the only one to notice how he made more than the most of it, going down shrieking like a big girl and then the obligatory rolling along the ground. f.aggot. there's where the card should have been awarded.

:rolleyes:

[guitarbaz]

Tomasson is so under-rated. i think Stuttgart were very clever to sign him from Milan.

i can't believe he was so wank when he played for us. absolutely diabolical.

[red barchetta]

i can't believe he was so wank when he played for us. absolutely diabolical.
it happens to a lot of forwards, like Forlan and Wiltord

[guitarbaz]

it happens to a lot of forwards, like Forlan and Wiltord

and the common denominator? the premier league...strange..maybe it's too physical for them?? and tomasson didn't exactly get a rough ride last night either..

[Ganondorf]

In positives, Beckham played pretty well.

[markface]

Last night was a major eye-opener for me. I know it was only a friendly, but the team we put out in the first half should've already wrapped it up. Sven's approach to these games is completely wrong. You can't bring on 7 new players in the second half and expect them to be fresh, focused and ready. David James himself said he wasn't focused enough to play well. I'm so glad Robinson is a pretty solid keeper and James is our reserve, because we wouldn't have a leg to stand on if James was in goal.

As far as Johnson and Cole go, they're still young and learning. The only way they'll get better at international level is by playing more games. We need Glen Johnson as a replacement for G. Neville when he retires, that's why he's being bought into the squad so early; to prepare him. I didn't think he played that bad, considering nerves and not playing for Chelsea or England this season.

Like somebody already said earlier, Lampard and Gerrard can not play together. Their styles of play are just too similar. We need a holding player, someone that can sit back and be our Roy Keane. Carrick is my best option here.

I don't think England will ever win a world cup while Sven is in charge. Last night proved his tactics are diabolical, and we'll be heading for another second round (if we even get that far) exit next year in Germany.

:upset:

You are so very right. I didn't watch the game, when my brother said that England were playing poorly, I'm sick of them playing poorly, then they come to paparazzi and make up ridiculous excuses. 'We havent won an international trophy since 1966 - thats 40 years this world cup' No you don't get any of that. They don't acknowledge that they have played poorly, Sven is taking us down - he should drop Owen completely and play Defoe and Rooney

[poorquality]

Well james has come out saying he didn't do his normal warming up before the game and didnt get ready for the match properly when he was brought on...not something you should really admit to after that performance. He's in for a public roasting more-so.

[markface]

I think that'll be his last game in an England shirt, rightly so.

Good riddance, Calamity James.

[red barchetta]

ok, James will not play for a while now, but who is there as a replacement for Robinson at the moment? ROBERT GREEN??? :upset:

[markface]

Chris Kirkland when fully fit is our future

[red barchetta]

looks like he's the only one...

[Mr. Black]

Chris Kirkland isn't international standards as a keeper, but we have no one else

[Mr. Black]

also Kirkland will never get fully fit, cos he always pulled this muscle or, broken that bone

[markface]

also Kirkland will never get fully fit, cos he always pulled this muscle or, broken that bone
He's a goalkeeping Darren Anderton :upset:

[Mr. Black]

He's a goalkeeping Darren Anderton :upset:
:lol: :lol: yeh he is

[Broken Angels]

England did look really poor. I think Sven's role as manager should come to an end round about now.

Scotland looked like a much better team overall.

[red barchetta]

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/l/liverpool/4161982.stm

great, he's coming back to his old club :rolleyes:

[Broken Angels]

I can't imagine that he'd be welcome back at Liverpool.
Man Utd could do with him as a replacement striker.

[markface]

It'd go down well for England if he went to Man Utd (Rooney and Owen partnership), but I can't see it happening

[Ganondorf]

Chris Kirkland isn't international standards as a keeper, but we have no one else

You should've seen him against Man City, he kept the Albion in the game.


Also, I think that we should play Gerrard as a holding midfeilder, Lamps as an attacking mid and Beckham and whoever on the left and right. Because, tbh, Lampard scores more than Gerrard. And if we say need a change for Lampard, but Gerrard in his place, sub Lamps for Carrick and put Carrick in the holding role.

[TakeWarning]

/enters thread first time since England game.

I heard it was 4-1 to England? Is that right. What an embarrassing defeat.

[Ganondorf]

4-1 to Denmark

[markface]

Only 3-4 of our players bothered to turn up though

[metal-militia]

just got back from the USA and i found out England lost 4-1 to DK!? :eek:
What went wrong?

[ChodaBoy]

England

[Britney Diva]

Like somebody already said earlier, Lampard and Gerrard can not play together. Their styles of play are just too similar. We need a holding player, someone that can sit back and be our Roy Keane. Carrick is my best option here.

I disagree completely, I think there's potential for an amazing partnership. I don't think they're too similar at all; Lampard's a far more varied player. Carrick isn't in the same class as Lampard, Gerrard or Keane.

[markface]

You're right, there is potential for an amazing partnership. But Gerrard's shown time and time again he's no good when it comes to sitting back and supporting the defence when Lampard moves forward. They're both similar in the sense that they both like to get forward and run at defences, neither are really def-mid players. They're both mid-att. Carrick may not be Roy Keane, but the team would certainly work better with him and England would concede a lot less goals on the counter attack, like yesterday when Denmark ripped us to pieces.

i'd love to see a Savage, Keane and Vieira midfield in action.

They don't need him either, they've got Smith and Saha

Wigan to plummet along with Sunderland and Fulham, I've already said this why am i posting it again

[metal-militia]

i think they played very well vs Chelsea, and were unlucky to lose.

You concede alot of goals on the counter attack because you have Rio Ferdinand, but I see your point. That is a weak point in the side.

[markface]

They don't need him either, they've got Smith and Saha
And neither could score in a brothel :lol:

[Firecracker]

It's amazing how much guys can talk about football.
There are these two people on my bus that never stop. I do like football and everything, i play it too, but i just couldn't talk for hours on end about the same thing, and something like football.


I think Rio Ferdinand is total crap though.

really? Did you watch match of the day or anything else? I'd be suprised if you even saw the tackle the way you're going on about it. To say that gilberto was the only one that should've been booked ina disgraceful comment, and makes me wonder if you even know what football is.

But anyway at the end of the day, newcastle are a team of scum and lost so it really doesn't matter. Unlucky....


and why do people refuse to acknowledge the football thread and keep making other threads for footy?

Us, as in Scotland.

Bleh, i can't wait till pour match against West Ham tomorow !

[Ganondorf]

I want Newcastle to win, because West Ham are gay.

[Grondahl]

Preston better play better against Sheffield United then they did against Reading... :angry:

Something (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/4165124.stm) for Dan and guitarbaz to be happy about. A decent striker!

[Angry Balled Fists!]

I hope so...

I think we should comfortbaly win today.

[metal-militia]

hopefully saints can beat Norwich today.... doubt it will be as tense as the 4-3 at the end of last season though!

[Endless Obsession]

I met that one Sedanne dude when I was vacationing. Hes old.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Yey, West Ham with 10 men !

[ChodaBoy]

Unfairly...

Then again, this is the premiership

[Lord Abortion]

so...another solid win, goal from Ruud, clean sheet and excellent performance from Park, he really does look excellent, now if only he could score...

[MILF Hunter]

Woooooooooho. A fantastic win for the Darlo

[Angry Balled Fists!]

No it wasen't :(

Dam, as if we couldn't beat Gay Ham with 10 men.

Oh well, Luque should help us improve.

[munky_magik]

Rangers 3 - 1 Celtic

:cool:

[Iai]

So how many red cards today?

[Iai]

My random MOTD thoughts

- That was nice of Marc Schwarzer, trying to make David James feel better about himself. Paul Robinson and Jermaine Defoe both NEED to be in the England starting line-up, though. And Davids should have been sent off. There were red cards last week for tackles worse than that first one.

- Why was the guy from Porcupine Tree commentating the Manu/Villa game? (/lame) In any case, Park is looking a lot better this week, and all in all, Man U look better than they have done in a few seasons. Only thing is, that Scholes/Rooney corner combo is gonna get predictable pretty soon. The link-up play between those two, though, was fantastic today.

- Andy Cole's celebration was hilarious.

- That Konchesky sending off was DODGY. Seriously dodgy. And by the way, fair ****in' play to Shearer for arguing it.

- Pederson's goal was class.....then Tugay went and topped it. Goal of the month? Gotta be up there.

- That Welsh sending-off? Worst decision I've seen in years. If that was a red card, Gerrard should have gone 3 or 4 times.

[Britney Diva]

I don't have BBC, and I missed the Premiership earlier, so I've to wait until 2.30 to see the goals. I watched Liverpool-Sunderland live earlier though, and the sending off was incredible. Stunningly bad decision. Steven Elliott performed well as a sub. Watch out for him, he's the new Robbie Keane - i.e. Irish and fairly talented.

[Hump-Backed-Tortoise]

So how many red cards today?
Not sure your talking about the Old Firm match but if you are there was 2 sending offs both from Celtic. Neil Lennon got sent off for squaring up to a linesman after the game, and Alan Thompson got sent off for apparently a tackle not worth a booking. I'm a Rangers fan so I'm happy :p

Thompson desrved to get sent off I think. A two footed diving challenge?

[Iai]

Neil Lennon got sent off for squaring up to a linesman after the game,
Don't see that often.

[metal-militia]

the Welsh and Konchesky sending off's were awful decisions. Hopefully they will be looked at and will be rescinded.

[Dead Star]

Motherwell 4 - 5 Dundee Utd

We were up 4-2 as well.

:(

[poprocks&coke]

There, there Jamie.

[Berserker!]

Kilmarnock reprezent!

[Britney Diva]

the Welsh and Konchesky sending off's were awful decisions. Hopefully they will be looked at and will be rescinded.

I don't see how they could stand. They were both ridiculous decisions made by the linesman not the referee. Apparently Gallagher saw footage of the Konchesky tackle and says he made the right decision. Crazy.

Did anyone see Pedersen's goal for Blackburn? Sweet strike.

[markface]

I think that's what he prefers to be known as, or the commentator's just gay and wants his babies

[Hump-Backed-Tortoise]

What about Tugay's volley winner against Fulham seen the highlights of it last night superb strike.

[MILF Hunter]

And by the way, fair ****in' play to Shearer for arguing it.


Yeah. I like Shearer for that. He's an honest bloke. You'd never see him playacting or anything like that unlike certain players. *cough*Ronaldo*cough*

cardiff lost again, another dog fight for us

[Ganondorf]

What about Tugay's volley winner against Fulham seen the highlights of it last night superb strike.

Both Tugay's and Pedersen's goals were class, but I preffered Pedersen's as I thought he volleyed it as he was running, whereas Tugay got into position, then struck the ball.

I wonder how many newcastle fans will suddenly be arguing that that clearly wasn#'t a red for Konchesky yesterday

[EdwardTheGreat]

Is the fantasy football website (the one with the MX league) slow for anyone else? I got 28 points in todays 2 games, but it wont let me see the league, so I cant see if I'm back on top? It's really slow logging in as well. Is it just my internet being rubbish?

my fantasy team is being plagued with injuries and transfers. Routledge is out, Gerrard seems to have a calf injury, Anderton is going to Wolves. and i've used my free transfer for this week.

not good...

i'm deducting 8 points from my score for 2 transfers

[Angry Balled Fists!]

I'll catch up and win...:)

We MUST beat Bolton on Wednesday because we have Man U on Saturday i think and no wins after 4 games is not good.

Toure tackled Crespo with ease on a number of occasions.

I think you might have to register and make a team to be able to get to the MX league, though. If you're making a team enter 67491-34774 that somewhere to get added to the MX league.

[Firecracker]

Oh bloody 'ell. I have a team on Yahoo, i don't want another one.
Anyway. Thanks for your trouble. :)

[Ganondorf]

Woo I joined that league, my first XI is

Cech

Volz
O'Shea
Robinson
A Cole

Gera
Makalele
Fabregas
Pennant

Van Nistelrooy
Shearer

[Grondahl]

Leeds have signed Richard Cresswell from Preston for £1.15 million. I'm not sure whether to be happy or sad about it, as although he works incredibly hard, he really isn't that skilled. But £1.15 million is a lot of money for a club in Preston's financial position. And now Patrick Agyemang will get more games, which gets a big :thumb: from me

[metal-militia]

Any one watch Saints last night? They beat Southend 3-0, but were pretty bad in the first half. Hopefully they can get a Premiership team at home in round 2.

[Rage_Against_The_PC]

lol i bet it will be pompey

we need a derby this year anyways :thumb:

[MILF Hunter]

Darlo have their first Derby for about 3 years tonight. Cant wait!!

[leiferikson]

Grr Id be top of the MX league if I hadnt made 5 transfers and thus had 16 points deducted in the first week. I thought everyone would be making transfers but turns out I was the only one :( 61 points this week! I'm Los Bambinos by the way.

i made 2 transfers last week (not including the free transfer), but i'm still 11th :cool:

my all Chelsea defence will be tested against Spurs. time to bring on a man u defender...

[markface]

i'll update the prediction scores when i get chance, work has been hectic

[Broken Angels]

How does the fantasy site determine the points that a person's team gets?

[Rage_Against_The_PC]

Yay Got Our First Point Of The Season

Lua Lua Lua :d

EDIT : pompey drew 1-1 with villa

[Grondahl]

Preston lost at home...again.

Only this time to Barnsley :upset:

And on penalties :upset:

[leiferikson]

I went to Disraeli's house (Hughenden) last week, nice place. Ha I dislike Preston very much so took great delight when we beat you 3-0 the other week. Kitson/Lita will be the most explosive strikeforce in the country this season methinks.

[Grondahl]

You've been to Disraeli's house? :eek: That's highly cool, Disraeli was the man. And I'd rather you didn't mention the Preston - Reading game. It doesn't bring good memories. But why the Preston hate? What've we done to annoy you so :(

[Rage_Against_The_PC]

Preston lost at home...again.

ah mate loosing to barnsley :upset:

[Grondahl]

At least we can 'concentrate on the league' now :p











:upset: :upset: :upset:

[MILF Hunter]

We got beat by local rivals hartlepool 3-1 :(

Gutted.

[leiferikson]

You've been to Disraeli's house? :eek: That's highly cool, Disraeli was the man. And I'd rather you didn't mention the Preston - Reading game. It doesn't bring good memories. But why the Preston hate? What've we done to annoy you so :(

You always seem to beat us. And Creswell always seems to score. Is he still with you? Thats why I hate Preston. It should have been us in the playoff final! You didnt deserve to be there TBH. Oh and I believe you got granted city status ahead of Reading a couple of years ago. Thats another reason.

Yeah Dizzy's crib is da bomb. I didnt go in though, too expensive and full of old people. So we just walked around the grounds and found somewhere and drank beer and played board games etc.

[Grondahl]

Ha, Cresswell was sold yesterday, to Leeds for £1.15 million. Far more than he's worth. Last season, we really outperformed. We were very consistent throughout the season, which is why we made the playoff's. But judging from Saturday, this could be your year :thumb:

The best stately home I've been to is the palace at Versailles. It's a really beautiful place. Huge grounds, too. How big is Dizzy's house? The coolest Prime Minister ever ought to have had an equally awesome residence.

[leiferikson]

The actual house isnt too big but the grounds are huge, rolling English countryside. And you're wrong, Gladstone was the coolest PM ever.

[Grondahl]

Nah, he was cool, but nowhere near as cool as Dizzy. Far better politician though.

[Lord Abortion]

so...if real madrid don't want owen, they will try to get him to liverpool, if terms can't be agreed he goes on loan to newcastle...
why would he go to newcastle, surely he wants to be in a good side to get form for the world cup?

look at what happened to kluivert...

/apologies to Dan

[Drop The Baby]

Madrid have accepted an £18mill offer for Owen. He should never go there

[Lord Abortion]

bang goes his chances of playing champions league football for a few years

why don't we make a bid?

maybe it will galvanise Ferguson into action?

[guitarbaz]

really? Did you watch match of the day or anything else? I'd be suprised if you even saw the tackle the way you're going on about it. To say that gilberto was the only one that should've been booked ina disgraceful comment, and makes me wonder if you even know what football is.

But anyway at the end of the day, newcastle are a team of scum and lost so it really doesn't matter. Unlucky....




true colours finally show.....

and yeah, been watching footy and supporting the toon, being a geordie and all that, for a long long time. you?

shut up.

[red barchetta]

Shearer and Owen sounds like a good combination up front.

[metal-militia]

How come Newcastle have so much money?

Owen would be a much better signing than Luque.

[red barchetta]

i dont know why they have so much either...


the price for Parker + Emre + Owen is about the same as the price Chelsea paid for Essien. pretty ridiculous.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Have we got Owen ?

[Iai]

Man U won't bid for Owen. If Nistelrooy and Rooney remain fit, Owen would rarely get a game.

Liverpool would be the best place for him to go, provided the fans won't abuse him for leaving.

[guitarbaz]

Have we got Owen ?

you tell me, it's very confusing.

we agree a fee and then he says he'd only come on loan, therefore no fee.

wtf? :confused:

[poorquality]

you tell me, it's very confusing.

we agree a fee and then he says he'd only come on loan, therefore no fee.

wtf? :confused:


Well no, he said he'd only want to join newcastle on loan before the fee was agreed, now it's been agreed it's down to the player and his agent to discuss contracts with newcastle and see if they'll offer him what he wants.

[StandingStill]

I reckon Owen would be crazy to go to Newcastle on anything other than a season long loan. He could score 30+ goals and still be im the shop window. I have £20 on Souness being the first manager out of the door this season as well...

[red barchetta]

i think Real Madrid are crazy for playing Ronaldo, Raul or Baptista over Owen (Robinho, however, is a different story).

[Angry Balled Fists!]

argh

I Hate Newcastle

:(

[munky_magik]

Wooo Rangers look to be through.

4 - 1 on agg :)

[Angry Balled Fists!]

I'm gonna curse at Newcaslte on MOTD tonight :(

[metal-militia]

argh

I Hate Newcastle

:(

who doesnt? :p

Good win for Bolton though, and i'm happy cos i'll get points for Giankapoulous (sp?) and Nolan.

[poorquality]

Chelsea clean sheet, good for my defence, pity arsenal let in a goal :(

United didnt play premiership so most of my team is disregarded there :P.

Though they won 3-0 :) Heinze scored twice, Richardson once, Gary Neville tore a groin muscle he'll be out for a few weeks.

The way united are playing now I say bring on Newcastle on Sunday :)

[red barchetta]

who doesnt? :p

Good win for Bolton though, and i'm happy cos i'll get points for Giankapoulous (sp?) and Nolan.
Diouf for me :cool:

and 18 points from Terry (c) and Del Horno :cool:

[Ganondorf]

Chelsea are bit fat gay heads :upset:

[red barchetta]

haha Newcastle... no wins (and not even a goal) in 3 games... (sorry Dan)...

Souness will get sacked, even if they get Owen

[IAJP]

So Everton's Champions Leauge chances have been slashed, according to my local newspaper.

What chances, I ask myself. The chances that they may get a higher skilled team than they are, and when they get beat, they can pass it off as good sportsmanship?

I have no idea, but I think it's ridiculous. I was down at my mates when it was on, I could see the tears in his eyes welling up. NOW he claims that the Refferee isn't the best in the world! I mean, I'll be honest, the whistle was in his mouth before anything was wrong, but they did not deserve to go through.

Champions Leauge hopes slashed! Uefa cup hopes re-kindled!

Oh the joys of being a red.

[Mongo]

haha Newcastle... no wins (and not even a goal) in 3 games... (sorry Dan)...

Souness will get sacked, even if they get Owen

I hope so :thumb:

[StandingStill]

So do I. I will win £140. Which will rule.

[The Flabbit Rides High]

Am I the only one upset by Fulham losing 4-1 to Arsenal???????????









Oh well, i guess it was bound to happen...

[MILF Hunter]

I got 53 points from the fantasy football league with the past 2 days. Quedrue scored, Lamps got 2 and Henry (C) Got 2 plus double points :D

[Ganondorf]

[metal-militia]

Group E looks like the toughest group.

Hopefully Liverpool can put one over Chelsea again :thumb:

[Ganondorf]

Yeah, just to make Jose Mourhino shut his face

[ChodaBoy]

He wont anyway.

He'll say, "They are good team, we are good team, but, I think we will win." He always says that

[Ganondorf]

yeah Liverpool can just be like stfu then reveal their secret signing Micheal Owen who will make Drogba and Crespo look a little bit silly

[BeaversEatWood21]

Crespo has lost about 2 steps, and will still score more then owen.

[red barchetta]

Crespo wont score with Chelsea that much. yes, hes much better than Drogba, but Chelsea's formation doesnt rely too much on the Forward for scoring;

long pass, forward gets a touch, Goal.

[Britney Diva]

the price for Parker + Emre + Owen is about the same as the price Chelsea paid for Essien. pretty ridiculous.

Yeah, but Scott Parker is ****, so it's not all that unreasonable.

Cork City 0 Djurgarden 0, Cork go through on away goals. :)

[red barchetta]

Yeah, but Scott Parker is ****, so it's not all that unreasonable.
true. Souness doesnt know who to buy.

[MILF Hunter]

Not really. I think Scott Parker and Emre were good signings

[guitarbaz]

Not really. I think Scott Parker and Emre were good signings

123

lets hope Albert is as good. finally we have a new striker and don't have to rely on owen coming. thank god for that..

[red barchetta]

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/e/everton/4186870.stm

VERY good signing for Everton IMO

[metal-militia]

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/e/everton/4186870.stm

VERY good signing for Everton IMO

Wow, that is a good signing.

Looks like Newcastle will get Luque.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

Wow, have we got him ?

[red barchetta]

i think so, for 9.5 million or something

but Souness still wants Owen

[ChodaBoy]

Luque is now officially a cartoon.
Maybe now you can score a goal!

[Britney Diva]

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/e/everton/4186870.stm

VERY good signing for Everton IMO

That's an outstanding signing, cut-price.

Liverpool are looking very average against CSKA, one-nil down. They started well and have had most of the possession, but they don't look like scoring. The defence is a mess and the keeper ****ed up royally for the goal.

[Britney Diva]

1-1, Cisse. Liverpool looked dead, then one mistake by the centre-half...

[Britney Diva]

2-1, Cisse again, carbon copy of his last goal. Moscow defence was shocking, they've lost them the match.

[MILF Hunter]

2-1, Cisse again, carbon copy of his last goal. Moscow defence was shocking, they've lost them the match.

Curse Jose Mourinho and Chelsea, They Ruin Football, I would buy you all a drink if Liverpool beat them

[Mr. Black]

I remeber when he used to play in the conference...

I had a dream that we beat MAn U last night :(

[TakeWarning]

I remeber when he used to play in the conference...

I had a dream that we beat MAn U last night :(

Yeah but it was only a dream, it will never realy happen.

[MILF Hunter]

4-4! for ****s sake

our keeper is injured so we had to play our sub keeper and he let 4 in. We were 4-2 up with 10 minutes to go aswell. ****ing hell he is ****e!!

[metal-militia]

OMG Horsfield is AMAZING! 4 goals in 2 games

:lol: he is my joke sub and he is on FIRE!

[red barchetta]

:cool:

You've got him too?
unfortunately, no...

but i have Del Horno :cool: Clean sheet + goal = 12 points :cool:

[MILF Hunter]

Im second in the fantasy footy thing and most of my team didnt even play today :lol:

[red barchetta]

i suddenely went to 4th or something from 13th :cool:

40 points from just today... more to come tomorow... this is going great to me

[MILF Hunter]

Dan is doing s.hite, has he got the entire newcastle team in his line up :lol:

[Angry Balled Fists!]

:(.

[loathed]

Man Utd will beat newcastle tonight... :naughty:

[TakeWarning]

I hate Chelsea.

[Ganondorf]

I hate Birmingham ;)

In other news, Horsefeild is the premierhsip's top scorer, oh you know it

[markface]

:lol: he is my joke sub and he is on FIRE!
mine too

he's not in the first team, will he still get points?

:cool: @ me being top of the league

[red barchetta]

I hate Birmingham ;)

In other news, Horsefeild is the premierhsip's top scorer, oh you know it
also, Pascal Cygan is the 3rd top scorer of the league :lol:

[markface]

Chelsea may have the best squad in the league (and probably the world), but the fact remains..

..They struggle to sell out Stamford Bridge every week. :lol:

[TakeWarning]

So does anyone else disagree with Mido being sent off?

[red barchetta]

yes, i disagree with that decision. the referee was poor in that match

[TakeWarning]

The decision affected our whole game because it left us one striker down, and it dampens the team spirits and a decision that shocks can distract you from the game.

[red barchetta]

but i have to say, the defending during Del Horno's goal was very bad.

[poorquality]

What fantasy football league thing are you guys doing??

I'm cheap so I joined free fantasy football :| i think 2 weeks after premiership started :P

Only got 66 points, John Terry has played 3 games so I started 3 games ago :P

[markface]

Stuart Pearce is the next England manager, imo. He's turned Man City from a poor relegation-battling side into a team that'll be in the top 6 this season. The players respect him. There's not a fan in the country that doesn't respect him as a player or a man. We'd win every world and euro cup if he was in charge instead of that clueless Swedish **** we've got at the moment.

[red barchetta]

Pearce is my favourite player ever to play in England international. i'll be so happy if he manages the team.

also, bring back Andy Cole and Sherringham in the squad. :D

[MILF Hunter]

Sheringhams too old, but Andy Cole could be good. Nigel Martyn is also considering coming back

[poorquality]

Rooney :D Goal for my striker, assist for my keeper

Someone should have been sent off for pulling ronaldo back - last man, forget who

and should of had a penalty, keeper went to ground and caught ruuds foot.

meh still 1-0 though

Still no replies? :o Oh well Update, 2-0 Ruud van Nistelrooy :) great run by Rooney, so Both my strikers scored and my keeper got a clean sheet + Assist :P

[metal-militia]

bah Pistone is out until next year so i had to transfer him for Chris Perry :(

Looks like Newcastle have lost 2-0

[Mr. Black]

Newcastle lost ?

If they did I bet they won't score a goal all season

[Mr. Black]

Van Nosssseeeelrooy, Brilliant +++ points to me

[red barchetta]

Rooney :D Goal for my striker, assist for my keeper

Someone should have been sent off for pulling ronaldo back - last man, forget who

and should of had a penalty, keeper went to ground and caught ruuds foot.

meh still 1-0 though

Still no replies? :o Oh well Update, 2-0 Ruud van Nistelrooy :) great run by Rooney, so Both my strikers scored and my keeper got a clean sheet + Assist :P
i have Rooney and Van Der Sar too :thumb: assist for Van Der Sar :cool:

things have been great for me in this fantasy team. 63 points in total from this week alone :cool:

[Lord Abortion]

Carr should have been sent off

that was a dirty foul, ronaldo was clean through

2-0 suits me just fine, also my fantasy team has both rooney and van der sar
also Hienze I think

[poorquality]

I ask again what fantasy footie you guys play :o where?

Also am I the only one who splashed out in defence and attack and left the midfield kind of weak? My team is:

GK: Van der Sar

DF: John Terry
DF: William Gallas
DF: Ashley Cole
DF: Robert Huth ( I need to transfer him :P he dont play much)

MF: Cristiano Ronaldo
MF: Damien Francis
MF: Jinichi Inamoto
MF: Richard Chaplow

FW: Ruud van Nistelrooy
FW: Wayne Rooney

see my midfield is the weakest part of my team :P I have no cash left over and can't get anything better to my knowlege :P any idea?

Got me 90 pts so far since I started :S

[Angry Balled Fists!]

BLOODY CRAP !

I'm annoyed now.

[Lord Abortion]

dude, you have ronaldo in your midfield, that's surely all you need ;)

[poorquality]

As great as he is :P I still need more, I feel like i'm losing vital points with the other 3 :P

Just replace Robert Huth with Luis Prieto for Athletico Bilbao :P got 12 pts so far so I hope he can keep it up, plays regularly

[Lord Abortion]

right...

after having seen the highlights of the match I wish to make a few pionts

1. not only was the carr challenge a blatant red card, the Given challenge on Van nistlerooy was a penalty in my eyes, he quite clearly pulled him down.

2. since when did newcastle become a dirty team? I mean, Have I been a bit blind in not noticing this before?

3. why do we keep playing darren fletcher at the expense of both Park and Giggs? two clearly better players?

4. Van Nistlerooy looks awesome, as does Rooney

[MILF Hunter]

the van nistlerooy one was never a penalty. The keeper went down and Ruud kinda fell over him, he could have easily not gone over the keeper like that

[poorquality]

Fletchers been playing extremely well recently, and with our current formation he suits it better. Right now we've got ronaldo and rooney playing attacking wing roles with ruud center forward, so keane scholes and fletcher are all central and 2 attacking and 1 defensive. It works out, Fletcher will play every game he can now, we'll see keane or scholes getting rested to bring in Giggs or Park ( I say park because giggs seems to be slacking again, he noticably increased his game when richardson was brought on for g.neville in the last game, he's playing to lax at the minute unless his position is threatened.

Anyway, yeah Fletcher and Smith are our answers to Keane and Scholes once they retire, giggs is getting older now so Park can play instead of him sometimes, Park will also be brought on from the bench alot this season with Smith. Thats my thought anyway. Next season the team will change a bit as the older players will either retire or play alot less.

On your other points, 1: Yep exactly, ref was an idiot, even if he didn't see Carrs challenge (which he was in line with so had no excuses) you'd think the linesman would of flagged.

2. They became extremely dirty once united scored the first goal, it's not been a great start for them they still haven't scored a goal yet, guess the pressure and their performances got to them in the end.

4. Yeah..they do, Ruud back on form, Rooney never left it. We'll score loads this season

EDIT to reply to MILF hunter, yeah I see where you're coming from but still, the keeper went to ground infront of him and he flicked the ball away over the keeper so it seemed he was through once he got past the keeper so it looked more convincing, and there was contact so he went over, yeah he could of jumped him or whatever, but what striker in the premiership would of done that rather than get the penalty that should rightfully of been given.

Wow this is a long post :S

[Lord Abortion]

the van nistlerooy one was never a penalty. The keeper went down and Ruud kinda fell over him, he could have easily not gone over the keeper like that
perhaps, Given still made contact though, so penalty

[metal-militia]

the van nistlerooy one was never a penalty. The keeper went down and Ruud kinda fell over him, he could have easily not gone over the keeper like that

I agree.

I reckon Carr should've definately gone.

[StandingStill]

Carr seems to have been ruined since he joined Newcastle. He was complete class for Spurs. I personally blame Boumsong for both goals, he had a shocker.

[red barchetta]

i dont understand why Souness decides to play Chelsea and Man U's 4-3-3 formation. it'll never work with the players he has

[poorquality]

Newcastles defence is poor, and they're relying on Shearer to be the lone striker, yet he's getting older and not anywhere near as good as he was, hasn't scored in like 15 premiership matches.

They're desperate to get Owen, but they need a fail safe, if they don't get Owen who will they get? They need another striker, transfer windows almost closed. Ameobi is a waste of time.

[markface]

I ask again what fantasy footie you guys play :o where?
