Euro 2008 (Official LOL Vidic Thread)

[Lord Abortion]

Hmm... I never thought of that.

[red barchetta]

then again, Arsenal will have Toure missing so Cygan or Senderos will have to play

[MILF Hunter]

Cygan :lol:

[Cockfight Champion]

Anyone ever read the football factory?

Great book, kicks the arse of the film.

Same with Soccer Dog, the movie was nothing on the book.

It's awesome to see the lower/non-division sides cracking the premiership sides when they play development line-ups. I mean, I would have been gutted if United had lost but since they drew I can have a bit of a laugh and Burton will get a sweet payday.

[santi3hg]

anyone else excited and care to carry a convo on FIFA expectations?

[the_uber_penguin]

I hope Leicester win the F.A. cup. Naturally

I have a £1 stake at 250-1 that they will.

As for FIFA 2006, if we're talking about the World Cup I think England's team is looking very strong. I'm sure England can make to the semi-finals, maybe even the final. Whether we will or not is (as always) another matter. We're playing in Group 1, which means we get longer breaks then other teams between the group stage and the 2nd round, and then between the 2nd round and the quarters, and then between the quarters and the semi's, etc... which should play into our advantage, giving us an extra day prep. for most games.

If England do make it to the final, anything can happen. We may even win a penalty shoot out.

[Drop The Baby]

all i know is we would have one hell of a title race on our hands if Chelsea hadn't spent over £200million on transfers alone in the last two years.

Bolton away in the FA Cup, not a draw i fancy.

[TakeWarning]

Cygan :lol:

Haha, he is so ugly. Smallest face ever.

If Bolton beat Arsenal the bitterness of Spurs loss may fade a little bit.

[Drop The Baby]

Senderos will be one of the defenders in the world once he reaches his peak. He played well against Cardiff despite receiving some terrible reviews from sports writers who have no clue what they're talking about.

The main sports writer for The sun is such a moron

Never really payed much attention to Senderos, what I have seen of him seems good.

Evra completed his Transfer today, as I predicted before any speculation a few weeks ago.

Ha, i know i just thought i'd point it out. evening Standard is good for sports

[2muchket!]

England have a good shout but owens injury could be costly, and well I'm starting to fear that we'll have no Left back. Ashley Cole hasn't played for well over three months and Wayne Bridege hasn't played (as I know of) a competitive game all season.

[Cockfight Champion]

anyone else excited and care to carry a convo on FIFA expectations?

If Holland can't finally get the monkey off their back with having virtually a home tournament they never will. Apart from failing to qualify last time round (ouch!) they've gone out on penalties in the last four major tournaments. It's ludicrous. Ironically for Bergkamp, easily one of the world's top strikers and playmakers of the last decade, his fear of flying has zero effect on this one but he's on his way out. Same with Edgar Davids, probably the only midfielder to rival Roy Keane for bulldog-like intensity. As usual it will come down to whether the manager can pull the factions together. So often Holland have been the best team on the planet but have self-destructed.

The other sides I want to see succeed are Spain and Ghana. It would be awesome to have an African nation reach the Semis and Spain to finally show what they're capable of. They're seeded every time but I can't remember them ever reaching the semis. I'd like to see England perform above expectations too. As usual they've got a talismanic striker to worship but the same midfield and defensive frailties.

And as much as it pains me to wish Australia the best ... I hope they don't lose every game. There, I said it. Now why do I feel so dirty ...?

[2muchket!]

Midfield ?? England ?? Frail ?? Beckham,Gerrard,Lampard,Joe Cole is the most likely and that combo is anything but frail. We've got a good keeper in Robinson, four exceptional centre halfs to choose from, two world class left backs. Honestly we should get to the final

[Lord Abortion]

And a right back who has made only one mistake in his entire career.

That was in united's 3-1 defeat by Vasco de Gama in The world club championship in 2000
He made a rather short backpass that lead to a goal.

Bolton away in the FA Cup, not a draw i fancy.
I think Bolton could give you some real trouble, but - as said before - if they are missing their Africans they could struggle. Diouf, Faye, Jaidi, where's N'Gotty from? El-Hadji, Faye and Jaidi are three of their best/most influencial players... By the way on Senderos - I rate him pretty highly I have to say. Even though Drogba's destroyed him (Charity Shield most notably, but the League game at the Bridge also) he is still young and looks very promising. Big, strong, tall, the right amount of aggression for a CB.
Wayne Bridge hasn't played (as I know of) a competitive game all season. The Bridge situation is stupid now. He is back to full-fitness yet José just won't pick him. He played 75 minutes of first-team action in the FA Cup last week, and I think he played about 60 minuntes against Charlton in the Carling Cup a few months back. That's it. We have Del Horno and Bridge, yet José picks Gallas there more often than not. PLAY Wayne Bridge for fek's sake, he is great. Not to mention he scored one of the best goals of all-time at Highbury :cool:

And a right back who has made only one mistake in his entire career.

Becks is inconsistent in the extreme against top internationals and Joe Cole, while he could turn out to be the best of all of them, is untested in that arena as yet. The other two are class.

At the back though, what are you saying? Rio and Sol? Okay, although Sol's a donkey when he's off form and Rio is inconsistent. Gary Neville is solid but who else?

[Drop The Baby]

A donkey? I'd still rather see him at centre back than anyone else. Ferdinand is the one i'd worry about if he was off form, like he has been for most of the season. when Ferdinand is off form he manages to make Wes Brown look good.

Errm lets see theres John Terry and Ledley King, its most likely it will be Terry and either sol or rio playing a the world cup. Nevill is really solid with Luke Young a good prospect for the future (a decnet player now) as cover. Joe Cole may not be intrested but well having watched him against argentina he was one of the best players on the park (I too believe he set up owen for the winner). As for the Wayne Bridge situation I believe he could bbe tempted on a loan doal to boost his chances. I believe Pompy were in for a loan deal for him.

For me:

I really don't want to say this, but I think my second favourite team in the premiership may go down..West Brom..:o.

Sunderland are definitely going down.

I'd say Portsmouth too.
And Birmingham or West Brom.
And maybe Everton (I hope not)

For me, there's no way Sunderland will stay up.

I really hope Everton don't go down though, great club with some great players.

[2muchket!]

Yeah I meant to say arsenal. On another note I get FM 2006 on saturday, I usually pick two teams a higher up club and lower league club and loan all my best young players to the lower leagues, the young players stats increase really quickly and it gives me the opputunity to bring carlisle to the premiership.

[TakeWarning]

Oh yeah I downloaded FM 2006, but I'm yet to test it out. I've heard it rules.

[2muchket!]

It does its basically Champ man , but champ manager lately has gotten really s****y

[Cockfight Champion]

Errm lets see theres John Terry and Ledley King, its most likely it will be Terry and either sol or rio playing a the world cup. Nevill is really solid with Luke Young a good prospect for the future (a decnet player now) as cover. Joe Cole may not be intrested but well having watched him against argentina he was one of the best players on the park (I too believe he set up owen for the winner). ...

You're right, Terry is awesome. King is similar to Cole in that he has great potential but is unproven at the highest level (friendlies are not at that level) and playing for Spurs has limited his opportunities in Europe. Young is decent ... fine and dandy in the prem but is that enough when you're facing the world's best? Again, he's unproven.

Maybe frailties was the wrong word, maybe not. If they fire on all cylinders England could blow through to the final very convincingly, but the same could be said of ten or twelve other sides. The highest echelon contains Italy, Holland, Brazil, Argentina and, given the home advantage, probably The Krauts. On the next step down, and still very promising and dangerous, are England, Spain, France, USA and the Czechs. Then the dark horses like Portugal, Ukraine and Ghana.

To hope for England in the final, I'm with you. But to expect it?

[Ganondorf]

errm don't be silly USA are't on the same level as England France etc... if anything Portugal would be on that level.

[Lord Abortion]

I don't think much of Wes Brown, nor do I think much of his white-boy corn-rows.
He's a good, natrual centre back who is better than Silvestre.

But his hair is a bit crap.

[Ganondorf]

And he's obviously at least half black, so I wouldn't call him 'white-boy'

[Lord Abortion]

He's a strange colour, not that I'm being racist, obviously, he just looks like he had an accident with a tanning machine.

[2muchket!]

Well wes brown with corn rows just makes a player with crap hair and a very average player.

[Lord Abortion]

1-1...great game too.
We'll walk the second leg.

[Cockfight Champion]

errm don't be silly USA are't on the same level as England France etc... if anything Portugal would be on that level.

Yeah, you're right about USA, though I think Portugal is often overrated, but you get my point. Expecting England to be in the final, or even the semi finals, ain't living in the real world. They have a decent chance, and I hope they do make it, but it's going to take a fair bit of good fortune for them and for other sides to play below their best.

The dream final would be Argentina vs England probably which means either both have to win their groups or both finish runners-up. All the depth of the history between them, on the pitch and in the war ... the tension would be amazing. It would be epic.

[TakeWarning]

I don't think Portugal is over-rated at all, I rarely hear them talked up anyway. But yeah, solid midfield and all.

Personally I think USA is over-rated, I think they're ranked sixth in the world. They don't seem to have any spectacular players, don't seem to have much heart either.

I'd be surprised if they made it into the round of 16.

[MILF Hunter]

Pederson for most under-rated player in the prem amirite?

No, it is obviously Cygan, he best the most hXc defendor!!!!11!

[Lord Abortion]

I would say Maybe Tim Cahill, or Half the Bolton side...

[Drop The Baby]

I think Tim Cahill is recognised as a decent player, and i don't think the Bolton side is really that good, they're just an efficient unit.

Although having said that, i think that Stelios is a good player and undeer rated.

[2muchket!]

Pederson definetly one of the most under rated along with Nolan. Most under rated youngster is James Morrison in my view.

[Drop The Baby]

I rate Kevin Nolan highly, another Bolton player i forgot. Still, i'm sure there's noly two of them that are underated! I think Nolan should be going to the world cup.

Not sure if he's necesserily underated, but i think Nigel Reo-Coker is a very talented player. He'll probably be in chelsea's 8th team next year! ;)

[red barchetta]

I'd be surprised if they made it into the round of 16.

Ever since they won the World under-21 cup or whatever it was, when Figo and co were in that bracket, commentators have always included them in predictions of who will perfom. But they never have. At least they have a very easy group with Mexico, Iran and Angola.

I'm with you that you can't take those FIFA rankings too seriously. USA beat Portugal in 2002 helping to eliminate them in the very first round. Then they comfortably beat the Mexicans and only lost to Germany 1-0 in the last 8. This time round they're in the toughest group and I'll be as surprised as you if they get past Italy and the Czechs (although Italy are notoriously slow starters in the group stage). If they do get through though, they could well get to the last 8 again.

Lennon or Lenin whatever his name is, from Tottenham is shaping up to be a really good player too

[TakeWarning]

Pederson for most under-rated player in the prem amirite?

He's on my Fantasy Premier League, performs well every week.

I would say Maybe Tim Cahill, or Half the Bolton side...

He was fairly under-rated at the start of last season, but then people realised how good he really was and is now recognised as one of Everton's key players. Unfortunately, he has lately had a form slump.

Lennon or Lenin whatever his name is, from Tottenham is shaping up to be a really good player too

Yeah, he's great, speedy and nippy, just what Spurs need on the wing to add to our attack.

[the_uber_penguin]

What a cool username, why isn't this guy posting more?!

Check out the UK thread. They're a regular in there.

Yes. He sure gave us (LCFC) plenty of problems last Wednesday. I was really worried he'd get our LB sent off.

[2muchket!]

Lennon quite pacey, but why did Jol but Routeldge if he has lennon I see them as quite identical as players.

[RandyfromPennywise]

I don't think Jol quite knows what squad he wants. He's going to buy Iaquinta, or some other striker, and then have Defoe, Mido, Keane + 1, + maybe Rasiak. Squad management issues.

[2muchket!]

Chelski syndrome of buying and having too many players seems to be catching at Tottenham then. And hes aparently in for Wayne Bridge for £6m

As a spurs fan, its good we've finally got strength in depth, but if he keeps on buying loads of players (especially midfielders) then we're gonna have to keep getting mugged off by other clubs for our squad players (£7m for Davis, Pamarot AND Mendes):confused: ....pompey will now stay up, that was an awesome piece of business on their part, i thought they might go down before due to the fact they are bad enough without losing 3 players to the african cup of nations, but now i reckon they'll stay up.

James, do you live near Kingston because captain everything are playing an 18+ show in some small venue. Sounds like a cool show. Off topic...yeah. I reckon England aren't overrated, and with players like Rooney, Lampard and Gerrard fit and playing their best we should for sure get to the semis. (Unless we meet Brazil before that)

[Cockfight Champion]

Chelski syndrome of buying and having too many players seems to be catching at Tottenham then. And hes aparently in for Wayne Bridge for £6m

Chelsea have a smaller than average squad. 30 compared to Spurs' 29. I think there's only 4 clubs less than 30.

[RandyfromPennywise]

Chelsea's First-Team Squad is less than 30. It's 24, or 25 if you include the third goalkeeper, Lenny Pidgeley.

Čech Cudicini Pidgeley
Bridge Del Horno Gallas Huth Carvalho Terry Ferreira Johnson
Makélélé Gérémi Diarra Essien Lampard J. Cole Maniche Duff Robben Wright-Phillips Gudjohnsen
Drogba Crespo C. Cole

Of course there are three players on loan from Chelsea at the moment as well: Verón at Inter Milan, Smertin at Charlton, and Jarošik at Birmingham.

[RandyfromPennywise]

Lenin whatever his name is, from Tottenham is shaping up to be a really good player too
Yeah Stalin's the left-winger and Rasputin is the new right-back :p

My numbers might not be exact but my point is accurate (check this link http://www.footballsquads.co.uk/eng/2005-2006/faprem.htm). The official Chelsea site lists 27. It's a myth that the top teams have more players than the smaller ones.

[TakeWarning]

Oh you. /flutters eyelashes

It's probably not such a bad thing that we sold Pamarot, Mendes and Davis, they rarely got used, and we have enough midfielders as it is.

Anyway, those three are all great players, and Pompey have done well to get them at a relatively low price.

I think they are all probably players who are not quite up to Spurs' current level, yet will do well at a lower-placed club. And 7 million squid is decent, for just over 2 mil each I'd say it's ok.

It's a myth that the top teams have more players than the smaller ones.Yeah that is the full list of professionals at the club. However, Yves Makaba-Makalamby is fourth-choice 'keeper and has never made a first-team squad, let alone played, same for Jonas Elmer, young Suiss left-winger/left-back. The actual squad Mourinho chooses his team from each week is realistically 24 (and being honest, it's probably more like 20, with Huth, Diarra, C. Cole etc.).

EDIT: Scott Sinclair as well. Brilliant talent, young Scottish striker, but he plays for the Youth team mainly, with only a couple of appearances for the Ressies.

The whole argument of big squads is false, it is, of course, the quality of the squads. Look at Robert Huth and Carlo Cudicini (just two random names), they'd more than likely be first-team regulars in any other side in the Prem, Huth maybe not as much, but he never plays regularly at all, and Carlo gets maybe 5-10 matches a season. Then players like Wayne Bridge and Glen Johnson, and Wright-Phillips... Very strong squad Chelsea have. But same goes at the other big clubs, just to a little lesser extent. O'Shea would hardly be playing if Heinze was fit, now with Patrice Evra 'n' all, and he's quality, a starter in 95% of other teams, same goes for Cissé, Riise, Morientes, Senderos, Dudek and many more...

On another note I am well and truly disgusted at the performance of players like Mendieta, Doriva and Rockemback. They should never pull on a boro shirt again. I'm not going to blame McClaren any more but I sincerly hope Downing, Parlour and Anthony McMahon (quite the young prospect too) are fit soon so that trio don't get to drag us down. We badly, and I mean badly to get 6 point from the next 2 games or else were going down.

The idea is you can put it on a laptop and have it running next to you as you watch the game. You can then alter the scores as they happen and see in real time who's qualifying and who they'll play in the next round, etc...

Boro + Mr Amsterdam, for fek's sake that was disgusting. Cattermole was your best player. I never, ever thought before that Boro were even a chance of going down but if they play like that again, anything could happen. A really terrible performance. Rochemback really needs to pull his finger out and do the hard yards in a game like that, something he just doesn't seem prepared to do.

Adelaide United A-League Premiers 2005-6, Minor Round winners with three matches to play! WELL IN LADS! Shengqing QU Player of the Season!

Good to see Kewell hit a ball like that too, c'mon Australia!

[Cockfight Champion]

The worst thing is that Boro are probably United's other bogey side, and then they let the Arse bend them over like that. Bastards. If you're gonna trip us up, you should at least bring your spines when you face the Arse.

The only positive is that my bro follows Boro so he was too bummed out to rub salt in the wounds of United today.

I never, ever thought before that Boro were even a chance of going down but if they play like that again, anything could happen. A really terrible performance. Rochemback really needs to pull his finger out and do the hard yards in a game like that, something he just doesn't seem prepared to do. QUOTE]

Lee Cattermole was our best player by a country mile yesterday I hope he plays next week. it just goes to show what being at the bottom of the table does to a tea,. Last year we played aresnal and beat 3-1. And yesterday, well I start to wonder if there was any effort put in at all. And the fact that McClaren insisted on giveing Rockemback time to settle in, supposedly like Juninho did. Well for one thing I distinctly don't remember him needing half a season to settle in.


:lol: Sven should really shut up as well and stop embarrasing this country and the FA.

One point

If Ronaldo is booked for that, the Referee is ****ing blind.
If he's sent off, the ref is ****ing stupid aswell as a blind bastard.

they actually had the rule book out on skysports news this morning and it does actually state that the player should be booked if he jumps over the barriers and celebrates with the crowd. so the ref was overly officious (as he can still apply some common sense) but did actually apply the rules as written.

[Cockfight Champion]

Sven sure is entertaining in so many ways. But no matter how bad he gets with his antics at least you guys don't still have Hoddle in charge. That dude is one fruity cat.

[Drop The Baby]

James, do you live near Kingston because captain everything are playing an 18+ show in some small venue. Sounds like a cool show. Off topic...yeah. I reckon England aren't overrated, and with players like Rooney, Lampard and Gerrard fit and playing their best we should for sure get to the semis. (Unless we meet Brazil before that)

At Bachus club? I've never heard of it but just read it, on the HHN website. I might go if i get the night off work and find out where it is. Cheers for the heads up.

[RandyfromPennywise]

A girl Chelsea fan? Well I never...

- Sven, he is shyte, a terrible gaffer, I'm so glad we've GUUS HIDDINK THE BEST GAFFER IN THE WORLD equal with The Special One.

- Lord - Ronnie should've been booked, you can't lunge in like that with studs up. No way is it red though, he was 6 inches from anything. On tackling, I don't understand why players slide like Ronaldo did, facing up... I can't slide-tackle like that properly, it has to be side-on, I don't understand why players go in like that... Maybe they just don't know how to tackle?

Take Warning - I think we wrapped up the Prem when a) We smashed the Scouse 4-1 on their home turf and b) We smashed the Arse 2-0 on their home turf :p

-Lee Cattermole - the next Fabregas? Hahaha, Cesc is 18 and there's already "the next Fabregas".

- Chelski Sunderland - We've always struggled up there, I still have nightmares about the four they put past us four or so years ago, urrghh Niall Quinn for fek's sake... I think we showed a bit of character to win like that, but we shouldn't have let them put us in that position in the first place. Crespo is God. After Franky, JT, Duffer, ZOLA and a few others. Can't say much about the red, it is the law... I think the law needs a certain amount of leniance (sp?) so common-sense can be applied. Ah well, at least Duffer'll be starting against Charlton I hope.

Alright peeps, I'm heading overseas tomorrow so I'll catch ya in four weeks. Look for me at the Chelsea v Charlton match on Sunday, lower West Stand, or the Lyon v Bordeaux top-of-the-table clash on the 4th! GET STUCK IN!

[Lord Abortion]

I can't believe what should be one of the best young left backs in the world had such an apalling debút

If we are to stay up all those seven individuals need to go. And fast before they can damage this club anymore.

Nah big Mark has started to form a partnership with Yak if we can just keep it together at the back we'll be fine. Aparently were a number of clubs wanting to get Wayne Bridge on loan which I am quite happy about. I think we will definetly boost the team as he wants to play for England. Stewie Downing still has aspirations of playing in the World Cup so our left side may really start to look up.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I honestly don't understand why the FA or the England fans put up with Sven. It's almost like he wants to get sacked, but the FA is too dumb to do anything but offer him larger salaries.

Anyway, new Ireland manager(s). Steve Staunton with (inexplicably) Bobby Robson in an advisory role. The FAI saw fit to appoint Staunton an advisor he'd never met before without consulting him. The whole thing is weird.

And Zidane's retiring after the WC. Not before he returned to help knock us out of it though :(

The article I read on the latest goss about Sven was hilarious. And you're right, I don't know why they put up with him, but it might be a little risky to hire a new manager this soon before the World Cup, it's too hard to get to know the team and how they play in such a short space of time.

Anyway, I wish the best to him and the England squad, if they go further than the Australian team I will support them in the World Cup since ... most of my family is English.

[2muchket!]

Very much doubt he'd go in the near future but some way down the line I can see him playing for Man Utd. Don't matter I suppose Adam Johnson has looked in fantastic form (so too has James Morrison). But then Middlesbrough have aalways been credited with producing excellent young talent.

As for staunton I believe he applied for the Job but the FAI declined as he didn't have any real experience. He came back with Sir Bobby as an advisor and they excepted. Which is fair enough especially what Staunton did for the Rep of Ireland.

[Kyle]

I was at the Reading game last night, I don't really support them but I live in the area and I like to see how they are doing. Was quite a good game, West Brom looked very ordinary and no way a leagues difference from Reading. Lita's second goal was pure class.

[MILF Hunter]

Darlo drew 0-0 with Grimsby last night. Fair result overall.

How many matches do you all get to a season? For me its about 40 :naughty:

Rossi did play very well, although the standard of the opposition should be taken into account. He looked like a future star though.

Lovely touches and passing

I just found out that this girl I know is BBC commentator John Murray's Neice! :amaze:

[2muchket!]

Rossi does look a quality player, isn't he american as well ?? That makes about four or five in the premiership and footbal league. On another note of americans anyone seen Freddy Adu play??, saw highlights of D.C united play even at 16 he looks like a future star.

Persoanlly buying someone of that age is risky he could get injured and never play for the club again, that said however I've seen him play and he does look a good talent.

[red barchetta]

Fulham have a decent team now:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/4629636.stm

[Lord Abortion]

Yeah, Rossi has looked very promising whenever I've seen him play. Definitely one of the best of the current crop of young players at Old Trafford, and someone who I honestly think could be a big star in the future. I found Ferguson's comments after the game to be a bit out of line...we should easily have beaten them, but saying things like how we could have scored more but there was no point in humilating them seemed a bit rude, especially after they'd already got a draw against us.




The question is, can she get you free tickets for anything?
Nah, unfortunately not...

Rossi could be great. The USA are already looking to call him up for the world cup squad, he's Italian, but raised in the US.
Only problem is, he's a midget...

Yeah - it's been forgotten alright, that's why our name is on the trophy.

It wasn't Jack Walker's money (or lack of) that caused our relegation, just injuries, poor signings, soldiers of fortune and lack of direction.

It wasn't his money that got us back up, that's for sure.

2. the downfall really did strangely coincide with the lack of a sugar daddy to prop up the clubs finances. strange indeed.

1. The only thing people care about at St James Park is Michael Owen, and even then you screwed that up. Also, if something that happened 11 years ago is forgotten now, why remember a goal-scorer from 40-odd years ago?

and yes you are really bad. and yes, the lack of money did cause the downfall, thats why there were no decent players around. it's not rocket science. don't even start with the scores, a 5-1 scoreline in our favour in the 2002-2003 season springs to mind but i don't even need to use it to be honest. a small club will always be a small club, live on your memories and enjoy them, without another benefactor that's all there will be. memories.

Yeah - Damien Duff was terrible :rolleyes:

The news sucks anyway - half the time the Newcastle news is "Souey to get the chop" and "Owen says he is happy at Newcastle".

What memories do you have as a Newcastle fan? Kevin Keegan flogging Andy Cole to Manchester United? Keegan blowing a gasket on live television? Throwing away a big lead to lose the title? Ruud Gullit? Losing the FA cup final?

I'd prefer to look at the positive side, reaching the FA cup final 2 years on the trot and then the semi the year after, hammering Manu 5-0, being at Bobby Robsons home debut when we hammered sheff wed 8-0, being 2nd in the league in successive years, all the fun of the champoins league etc etc..

the main thing is, i don't need to use them as i know the future will at least be a repeat of that and hopefully better. you just keep reliving those never-to-be-repeated glories.

and even when the going isn't good we're still bigger news that b/b will ever be. because, well, no one gives a toss.

Sounds to me you're the one reliving former "glories", or at least wanting to, which is even worse. You have Souness as a manager, Owen out for months and a captain retiring. Yeah - you better hope cuz you have nothing else.

Yeah, Newcastle will always be bigger news - but they'll always be a bigger disappointment too.

Who cares? They're awful.

You can say "Blackburn Rovers" if you want, lightning won't strike you.

We're not going for mid-table obscurity - we finished tenth the first season which was great for a promoted side, sixth the following season, then we faltered for two seasons until we found our feet again and now the only way is up - eighth, which is higher than Newcastle, I think you'll find and at least our strikeforce isn't injured or retiring.

Say what you like about Bellamy, he got us into the semi-finals of the League Cup and fired us comfortably into the FA Cup fourth round, more than you can say for Michael Owen.

If you read it properly (probably too much Newcastle Brown...or not enough) for a promoted side survival is the priority, and we did it with style. We proved we weren't going for mid-table the following season by finishing sixth, and this season we're proving 2003/4 and 2004/5 were just blips.

[Faith No Doubt]

Similar to the undeserved abuse that Shearer gets from the great unwashed who shuffle into ewood? The same Shearer who has nothing but praise and respect for his old club.

Now look at bellamy and what he said about Newcastle / Souness / anyone really.

Now, who is the more deserving of retribution??

Oh, now you're saying we don't wash.

Any more cheap shots you wanna take to divert attention from the fact we're better at football than you?

It's easy to assume we all abuse Shearer - so you do. I apologise on behalf of those idiots, but we're not all like that.

Who cares what Bellamy says? What's on the pitch is all that matters.

Congratulations on the degrees - sadly I'm awful at maths myself.

[guitarbaz]

It's not where you start, it's where you finish, and we're gonna finish above you. Also, Craig Bellamy will finish with more goals than Owen, he's in the lead at the moment.

Finishing at Newcastle. Sends shivers down my spine.

well we shall have to see about then won't we? i suspect it will be otherwise but you just continue to tempt fate, that's fine by me.

it wuld be nice if owen finished his career at newcastle. lets face it, it would never have been at blackburn now would it? he needs to be in a talented, high profile team, not a mediocre team of thugs and also-rans.

i don't need to divert attention anywhere. a newcastle team will always be a more talented team (and more unpredicable however) than a blackburn team. it's the nature of the club. i know who i'd rather watch.

bellamy reaps what he sows. thats his choice and he'll get the abuse that comes with it. if he insults my club then he deserves it, frankly.

I don't suspect we'll finish above you, I know we will. You gotta have faith, right?

We can't afford Owen's medical bills for a start.

I'm not denying Newcastle are talented, but Rovers are more talented, as our season is going far better that yours.

Thugs and also-rans...save it for the Daily Mirror, you lapdog of Lawro.

Fighting fire with fire - that'll help keep discipline. Why don't you focus your energy on cheering Alan Shearer than having a go at Bellamy?

I'll take my stand at Ewood Park always and forever, as our motto says: "by skill and labour".

you've certainly got faith of the blind variety anyway.

you wouldn't really know what to do if you had a world class player in your team. i would liken it to nicky barmby when he was put in the Hull team. a thoroughbred among donkeys. how can you even be so blinkered to use the world "talented" when the names savage and dickov are on the team sheet.

and that was my own quote, based on truth.

carry on.

[guitarbaz]

indeed it does!

carry on.

Paul Dickov has scored seven goals this season - including a great header against Portsmouth - and he's only 5'10"!

I love Robbie Savage, he's been fantastic in the last few matches.

Blind faith - is there any other kind?

[Faith No Doubt]

indeed it does!

lawl you funnie.

[guitarbaz]

lawl you funnie.

you set 'em up, i'll knock 'em in.

just like Shearer. (5'11").

[Faith No Doubt]

Dickov is shorter. So not just like Shearer.

[guitarbaz]

no, i'll knock them in just like Shearer. after you've set them up.

[Faith No Doubt]

no, i'll knock them in just like Shearer. after you've set them up.

He won't be knocking them in next season.

[2muchket!]

Enough already with the personal little bitch about Newcastle and Blackburn we'll beat both teams when they come to the riverside. Also Wayne Bridge going to Fulham, that will do wonders for their squad personally.

We've already beaten you at the Riverside.

Twice.

[guitarbaz]

He won't be knocking them in next season.

and with a fit again Michael Owen knocking them in for us, Shearer can take a well earned rest. Before becoming Newcastle and eventually England manager when you will all worship him.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Hello? 1996 called, it wants its football transfer news back!
:lol:

Since then we've won the League Cup
lol

Yeah - Damien Duff was terrible
For a couple of seasons he was, which coincided with Blackburn's demise. As far as I remember, he was on fire the year you got promoted again.

[guitarbaz]

Enough already with the personal little bitch about Newcastle and Blackburn we'll beat both teams when they come to the riverside. Also Wayne Bridge going to Fulham, that will do wonders for their squad personally.

anyway. yeah that was a good bit of business getting wayne bridge. he's a very good player.

[2muchket!]

Well I can honestly say all our players actaully want to play for the club unlike certain a certain newcastle player cough*owen*cough :rolleyes:

[Faith No Doubt]

Yeah SOP, the League Cup isn't all that much, but I remember Newcastle wanting to win it that season in case they didn't qualify for Europe in the league.

The important thing is - we won something.

Damien Duff was pretty average 1998/9 and 1999/2000, but from then on he was unstoppable bar injuries.

[red barchetta]

African Nations cup started today :)

So Newcastle fans would give him a harsh reception? What sweet and tender hooligans you are.

Emre Schemre.
Oi. No stealing of Smiths song titles for your argument.

We're going to hammer the scousers tomorrow!

[2muchket!]

I heard about the boro score and the impendong doom Steve McClaren will face and I'll can say is thank god he is going christ I hope we get someone decent in as a replacement.

[red barchetta]

Sunderland WON :eek:

You won't beat us on Wednesday.

Lost to Sunderland :(

That is a low point in any football fan's career.

Of course we will.

[2muchket!]

Who did Sunderland Play ????

[skateMASTERbater2]

West brom

I watched the Togo-Congo match for a while yesterday. Togo are just plain horrible: no organisation, no defence, no offensive tactics, and only one outstanding player. How did they make it to the world cup?

[Malice]

AFL REPRESENT

[red barchetta]

West Ham get Dean Ashton for £7.25m:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/w/west_ham_utd/4635142.stm

the question is, do they even need him? £7.25m is a lot of money

[RCVA]

Sunderland WON :eek:
Hahahahahahhahaahahahahahahhaa.

[the_uber_penguin]

Dammit. Leicester are now in the Championship relegation zone.

2-1 loss to Cardiff this week, Sheffield Wednesday last week.

I want Martin O'Neill back.

[Lord Abortion]

Kickoff in less than an hour...

[Dave de Sylvia]

Ferdinaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannd

GET IN!!!!

You see Gaznev?

That was awesome, run the length of the field to taunt the scouse bastards!

oooonnee niiil!

[2muchket!]

Rio scored.again. :eek:

[red barchetta]

Rio is on FIRE

[Lord Abortion]

Some wanker Liverpool fan on 606 complaining about Badge-kissing?

That was interesting that he did that after such a great show of club loyalty that our new captain marvel showed.

He's great

[red barchetta]

its funny cos that guy calls him (Gary) Phil Neville

[Lord Abortion]

it's funny because we won.

[jaymz_is_god]

Everyone now.....RIO! RIO! RIO!

Slap that up the scouse f**kers! Haha!

Have to say that Wes Brown was absolutely outstanding, along with Rio. Giggsy had a great game, and Evra really impressed me. Not the best United performance, but to be honest, who gives a sh*t about the performance when we beat the scum?

[Grondahl]

Cisse's open goal miss made me lolz.

And Preston beat the Burnley scum at Burnley. Ha! 19 matches unbeaten, promotion here we come (this time, we won't mess up in the play-off's :angry: )

Leeds Reading and Sheff Utd will go up.

You fail to take into account that we battered the ****ers all over the pitch for nigh on 85 minutes.
