Euro 2008 (Official Man City LOL Thread)

[[Nightbreak]]

Well done to Arsenal, but I don't want them to break the Forest record. Aston Villa seem to be heading downhill.

And to the yanks: Our game was invented before your country, go talk about "football" in the offical American Football thread. Thank you.

[mr snrub]

Yes, and yes. I think Arsenal most probably will though, Blackburn at home in mid-week, should be a win. Yeah it's a shame for Villa because they have some good players in Barry and Hitzelburger (if thats how you spell it) and others, so they deserve better, but I think bottom half for them this year.

[mr snrub]

Just seen match of the day, and some things to point out.

Great goals from Berger or Portsmouth, and that Cameroon Spurs guy. Also, goalkeeping from Hislop was awful, and the guy that presents Match of The Day 2, is really strange? Anyone agree? Also that random Palace supporting "comedian" that comes on at the end and tries to be funny? That's not what should be on a football show, it's stupid.

It does seem likely though, only Blackburn to get through...

I don't want them to either but it seems likely *is Spurs and Cloughie fan*

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Fingers crossed that Blackburn do us a favour then. Of course, we could always go and try and break the record again, we havent lost yet this season.





We haven't won of course, but a point is a point

Seems a mixed bag for the british clubs, IMO I think Liverpool have the hardest task there. Why does it seem every year an english club plays Porto?
I suppose its a good thing that none are in the same group, nice if they all got through

[davey]

theres some interesting groups there. All the english clubs have got piss easy groups except liverpool's looks a bit tough and celtic's is impossble.

[KappaKid17]

Group C: Bayern Munich, Juventus, Ajax, Maccabi Tel-Aviv

Group G: Valencia, Inter Milan, Anderlecht, Werder Bremen

I'm looking forward to these groups. Seem pretty competitive. Valencia v. Werder Bremen should be good (Spanish v German champs), but I somehow think Valencia will topple Bremen.

My 1,000th post.
Earlier, I subbed Dunn out for Davies. Birmingham aren't playing him, so he must be injured. Davies (spurs) had better keep up the good work until next month when I can get more transfers for free.

Also: When is Rooney fit again? I need him to start playing and scoring.

[[Nightbreak]]

Rooney'll be back within 10 days I think.
Ah good. I hope he moves to United. He'll get better supply work there.

[chumpradio]

Well he won't be able to pass a medical will he?
The transfer window ends on Tuesday.
Alex Ferguson is a knobhead for leaving it so late, he could have bought Rooney ages ago, but he has left Everton unable to buy players because they were relying on the money from this bid.

My brother has just entered a fantasy team. I think he went for a Welsh theamed team well I say Welsh theamed he think he picked the Welsh National side.

[Jellyspoon]

Go Everton

[markhendrix]

BUMP

Scotland have just scored against Spain!!

[mr snrub]

Wow - you mean they are actually winning a match?

[markhendrix]

apparently.
- scotland are a terrible side.

28 games - 9 wins - 1 losses - 47 goals conceded.

[mr snrub]

Haha, thats quite appauling. However, I notice that their goal against Spain was an own goal. So that makes it 48 goals conceded! Ha ha.

[markhendrix]

Rooney move is a waste of money. :(
- hes a good talent but hes just not £27m

[[Nightbreak]]

*notices thread again* So, what does everyone make of the 2 biggest developments this week?
1. Rooney moves to Manchester United (£20 million starting fee, possibly rising by £7 million).
2. Sir Clive Woodward resigns, possibly to take a job at Southampton at the end of the season.
1. Liking it. If he was MUFC at the start of the season, he would've been more than £16 million in the fantasy footie. Now he's at MUFC, he'll get great supply work. Also, I think Everton got a great deal on an average player. 25% sell on fee is great.

2. Twat, Rugby and football are completely different games. It'll never work.

[mr snrub]

You'd be suprised. His football knowledge is actually pretty good. If he gets the job it isn't going to be coaching it is going to be a pure management job and nothing else. And as for Rooney, I think he is has gone too far too soon. He will not end up anything great like everyone says, he would of done better staying at Everton until he was about 21+ so he could really mature there, but now he has just jumped staright to a big club, so it will damage him in the long run.

[mr snrub]

Scotland are holding on for something that could be a historic win. 40 mins left.

[mr snrub]

Yeah, good old Reyes. And by the way, Raul has just scored a penalty. Ha ha unlucky all Scots! 1-1.

[Broken Arrow]

is this soccer or fottball?

[mr snrub]

it is american soccer, but english football. there is an american football thread if you want that.

[mr snrub]

Ha ha ha, the floodlights have failed. Classic Spanish!

[mr snrub]

Basically the match has been abandomed at 1-1 after an hour due to the floodlight failure. So a draw for Scotland! There is hope for Germany 2006!

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Scotland have had the more intersting match cancelations in the past few years, who was it that simply didnt turn up for the match, yet they still kicked off?

[mr snrub]

Yeah... most probably. Spain had just equalised so they must of thought - ****, lets do it now before we loose again! But it was Valencia's stadium, and yes it is pretty poor. That will make sure no World Cup or European Championships go to Spain for a while yet!

[mr snrub]

Ha ha, yeah I remember that! Scotland might be a crap team but they do have good memories!

[mr snrub]

Just seen the Northern Ireland game on BBC. It is a shame really because they played really well and kept a lot of possesion and made chances, but their defence lacked everything and all three of Poland's goals should of been stopped. Also Republic of Ireland won 3-0. Wales play Azerbejan kicking off in a few minutes and England play Austria tonight.

[mr snrub]

Who is going to change in the midfield then for Gerrard? Because when I saw it this morning it was going to be:

Wright-Phillips Beckham Lampard Bridge

It would be a shame for Wright-Phillips not to play..

[mr snrub]

Wow, Wales are really struggling against Azerbaijan, it's 0-0 at half-time and Wales are hardly in it.

[Drop The Baby]

I think now that Gerrards fit Beckham will move back to the right and Gerrard will replace Wright-Philips but play in the middle

[mr snrub]

Yes that is true for both things. Gerrard does have to play, and I hope Sven will bring on Wright-Phillips because he is playing brilliantly at the moment. And Wales.... well to be fair, Azerbaijan is a hot country and the conditions will not match the UK's current climate, but still. They have only had like 1 shot on target in the first half.

[mudhoney]

what channel is wales on

[Drop The Baby]

Dunno.

Who do you think should be up front? It looks like Smith and Owen and that's what i'd go for, but i think Defoe should get a chance if we're struggling

[chumpradio]

Me = 565th of over 20,000 people on www.freefantasyfootball.tv
:cool:
I just added Chelseas keeper, who replaces Carlo Cudicini, and some Brazillian midfielder, who has 10 points so far this season, replacing Luis Enrique, who has none.
I may be able to do well in this league :cool:

[mr snrub]

what channel is wales on

sky sports 1

they have scored it is 1-0 to wales...about time aswell. Gary Speed with the goal.

[mr snrub]

^^ But as I say that, Azerbaijan have equalised. 1-1 with 20 odd minutes left.

[chumpradio]

Wales should be able to beat Azerbaijan easily.
A draw against them is not good enough for a side of Wales calibre, Azerbaijan are even worse than Northern Ireland!

[mr snrub]

Well to be fair, Azerbaijan aren't that bad a team. And playing over there will be very very hot, so Wales will be unfarmiliar with the conditions. After the first half, you would of expected Azerbaijan to ease a win out of it, but the second half is different, and now it could go either way with just over a quater left of the match. And quite honestly, it may be very hard to find a team that are worse than Northern Ireland at the moment!

[mr snrub]

Yeah it is Smith and Owen starting up-front. I would also like to see Beattie and Phillips getting some experience because they are both great players who deserve to be in contention for places. I think it is embarrasing that someone like Heskey is admired by Sven more than he admires Beattie and Phillips.

[Drop The Baby]

Kevin Philips? No chance mate, we've got a good starting pair up front with Owen and Rooney (most people's opinion) who are both young and then two good back-ups in Defoe and Smith and there's also Vassell. Beattie may well get a chance but it's unlikely that there will be 6 strikers used. And i think there are better younger options like John stead of Blackburn

[mr snrub]

Ok, maybe not Phillips now but I think he should of been playing more a few years back, in his Sunderland days because he was playing great then. John Stead should get a chance, I agree with that because he is a good consistent player who scores goals and an England chance will boost his confidence and he will get better as a result of that. He is still young aswell.

[Drop The Baby]

It's true that Philips maybe should have had more of an opportunity when he was in his prime, but i think his chance has long gone to be honest

[mr snrub]

True. The future for English strikers looks really good though. Rooney, Defoe, Carlton Cole, Stead, they are all young and playing well.

[Drop The Baby]

I'm pretty disppointed with the way Cole has come on, i thought when i first saw him he'd be one of the best within a couple of seasons but he's never been settled at one club

[mr snrub]

Well he has done pretty well at Villa, but that is only a loan. He should play for a club that aren't as big as Chelsea, maybe Everton as a replacement for Rooney, so he can get experience under his belt. I saw him play for England U'21's the other night and he looked very sharp then.

[Drop The Baby]

Good good. Was Bentley playing in that one because i heard he was an injury doubt? I have a feeling he could be similar to Cole and end up travelling around clubs

Just check the KO is 7:45 as i've got to get down the pub?

[mr snrub]

No I don't think he did. Yeah, well on loan probably, I think Wenger is keen to keep him at Arsenal.

No it's 7:30 kick off i think. Yeah I am off to the pub aswell. It's the only way to watch football.

[mr snrub]

Final Score:

Azerbaijan 1-1 Wales

[[Nightbreak]]

Stupid question, but were there any Premiership games today?

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Softest goal i've seen for a while, buytvery clever. 1 - 0, good start

Re: England match in case you're living on mars

[PsychoMits_]

I don't fancy Irelands chances against those cheesey frenchies

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Now maybe I wont be the only one who is still against David James as the England goalkeeper, I always said that someone as unreliable as him was going to cost us time and time again, and tonight it cost us 2 points

[mr snrub]

My God, that was absolutely attrocious. 2-0 up and to throw it away like that is something else. Adam Jones I agree. Get rid of him. Even my girlfriend who knows nothing about football in anyway managed to point out that David James was having an, well what is a good way of putting it, absolutely pile of ****e instead of a football match. Sweet baby Jesus.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Trouble is, who fills our goalkeeping void? My vote would go for Chris Robinson, but he needs more international experience. THeres always Nigel Martyn I suppose. **** Leeds for having the good goalkeeper history

[mr snrub]

Yeah - I think you mean Paul Robinson. Martyn is too old now. Personally I very highly rate Chris Kirkland (Liverpool) and Robert Green (Norwich). The problem is that Sven hasn't tried out any goalkeepers apart from James for a long time. Maybe it is time to give the position to someone who is younger than 30, because for the past 5 odd years all it has been is veterans like Seaman, Walker, Martyn and now James.

[mr snrub]

He has had injury troubles, and he has recently snubed a move to Coventry on loan, which may of been good for him to go, to get a good shot a long-term first team football which he may not get at Liverpool. But he is still very young at the moment and has a long way to go.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Doh, getting names confused. But yes, i agree, the age of most decent goalkeeps isnt going down, and again, blame the influx of foreign players. Kirkland is a good keeper, but I think Green will be overlooked as Norwich will be having a tough time keeping out goals this season. Then again, it may work to his favour, get more attention if he has more work to do

[mr snrub]

To me it has to be either Green or Kirkland. Sven has got to try them both out, or have a look at them because at the moment it is hopeless. I wish we had as much choice for goalkeeper as we did for strikers.

[InMyPlace]

How could we throw away a 2-0 lead :rolleyes:

[Untitled]

Dunno but we managed to do it

[mr snrub]

Our football team is turning into our cricket team of a few years back - throwing everything away. Infact it is a real turn of the tide. This time like a year ago the rugby and football nation teams of England were doing great and the cricket team awful, now it is the opposite...what is up with English sport???

[Adam Jones is GOD]

English sport is a big old pendilum, our teams can never all be good at once. I remeber this from ages ago during Euro 96, when we had the asges on at the same time, and hoiw th efortunes of both teams were the opposite at every stage.

[mr snrub]

It is true, and annoying. I don't know how I will be able to cope with all this change in our sports. Maybe I will turn Brazilian or something....

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Its ok I find, I just follow any sport we tend to do well in and watch the changing fortunes. When all our teams are bad at once, then I may reconsider.

[mr snrub]

The only sports I follow are football, rugby and cricket...and obviously things like the olypics when they are on. It's always frustrating when your favoured team looses, let alone your nation, but it seems that with England, at one time there is always one of those three sports teams doing really well. At the moment it is cricket sadly, because we need our football team to be at their best to qualify for the world cup. There is nothing I want less than to see welsh people laugh after we have drawn or lost against them when we play them in the qualifying, so we need to shape up or we could be in for utter humiliation.

[soul_string]

football sucks i hate it im forced to play and we always lose practices are to long and boring i want to quit

[mr snrub]

..... then quit.

[monkeysonmars@mx.com]

Graham Souness?, oh that's classic

[KappaKid17]

Germany & Brazil are to play a friendly soon. Supposedly there will be full squads for both sides.

<-- Totally pumped.

[markhendrix]

just like the world cup final all over again :cool:

brazil will win.

[Accentopus]

Souness is a good appointment as long as he dont take no crap from dyer and people

[sic_transit_gloria]

come on wolves we could get promoted this season but we are do **** at the moment so are chances arnt lookin 2 gud.wat do u think?which team do u think has the nicest shirt?????personally i would say fulham

[Firecracker]

liverpool suck.
and i support them. well, i suck too.

[Firecracker]

luis garcia is hot.
well, steven gerrard is the love of the premiership. i bow down to him. he's one genius player.

[KappaKid17]

Yeah, Germany have hurtled backwards, while the Brazilians are at least as good as they were 2 years ago. I think Germany would be genuinely pushed to qualify for the next World Cup if they had to, and got placed in a vaguely hard group.

Germany's defense is traditionally stellar. I just love seeing some of the upper-tier defense in the world go up against top-tier offense.

[davey]

luis garcia is hot.
well, steven gerrard is the love of the premiership. i bow down to him. he's one genius player.
Apart from thierry henry obviously.

[davey]

Souness is a good appointment as long as he dont take no crap from dyer and people
yeah i think he could have a bust up with quite alot of those players.

[Accentopus]

But Shearer seems to like him and what he says gos

[davey]

But Shearer seems to like him and what he says gos
Well not really because i dont think shearer has control over the whole squad so what he says doesnt always go. Also newcastle have other players aswell though such as dyer, kluivert that have all been in trouble before.

[Accentopus]

its a good point. but what about bobby going after shearer got dropped

[Accentopus]

Yeah i agree. Shepherd should have been the one to go

[KappaKid17]

Traditionally, yes. But in Euro 2004 even that part of their game failed. I mean, in the World Cup, that pretty much was their game plan, but when it failed in the Euros, then they just didn't have any back-up, as their attack is truly woeful.

Oh, so true. The German defense would've stood better chances had their offense actually possessed the ball more than 40 percent of the tournament.

The best defense is a good offense.

[Revenge_Of_PsychoMits]

stupid irish spanners can't do anything right
1-1

[Firecracker]

what's going on with the england game?

[chumpradio]

We won 2-1
Jermain Defoe put us 1-0 up with a decent goal, then Poland equalized.
Then there was an own goal which won us the game.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Well...at least we won I guess. It was a surprisingly brave decision to drop James though.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/3631194.stm


I prefer Robinson over James anyday, he's more reliable

(though I never saw their goal)

[Adam Jones is GOD]

I think James may have made it easier for him, as he's the type of player to hold his hand up and take the blame. Maybe Eriksson is making changes to his selection process now he's experienced more of the ups and downs of the England side

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Yeah, its all well and good giving the youth players oppotunities in friendlies, but the real experience comes from games like tonights, and thats why its better to have Cole, Wright-Phillips, etc involved.
I missed that article, never seem to be any papers around in my house. sadly, all my football opinion listening comes from Soccer Am, which isn't the most serious football discussion show ever (but still wickedly funny)

[Adam Jones is GOD]

You have, cool




Could you tell me how to?

Gonna read that article now, cheers

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Just finished reading that article, **** Tina!

It speaks a lot of truth though, we really are stuck in a rut, and lack ideas for change, there's too much accepting of the current system.

I feel that the Ireland match needs to be mentioned though, what a scrap that looked on paper!

[Adam Jones is GOD]

2 - 2 draw, but it was something like 8 vs 9 by the end. It was 1 - 0 and 2 men sent off after 20 minutes

As for the outside the box thinking, our country is one that always sticks closely to traditions, no matter what the critisims (look at the monarchy), and this has had an effect on our sport. Cricket is a prime example with the younger players arriving of changing the normal 'pick a similar side every time'. The squad rotation is great, there's always a new player who appears who takes the spotlight and proves themselves, its a pity thtat football and rughby cannot learn from this.
Rugby in particular should learn, we won the world cup marginally, when we should have strolled it with the side we had. Now we should have worked on that, not sit back and expect results


Think ill stop there, getting a bit off football now

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Roy Keane = our gift to football (forest)

Im still waiting for the next UK bad boy of football, maybe Keane will re take the title again now. It's always more fun when someone out there is getting in trouble week in, week out. I miss the days of Vinny Jones.

I think it was Northern Ireland who played tonight, which makes that a good result for them. But it might have been Ireland

[Untitled]

Dumb question.........

What was the score tonight, im to lazy to look.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

2 - 1

















To us :)

[clearvision]

what is wrong with beckham, he needs to lose weight and learn to cross. And owen is poo too. I think they should get their heads out of their arses and play football. Madrid sucks, come home and play football guys.../enough about england

DO you think any clubs will be intrested in watfords danny webber in the transfer window. He's joint top scorer in the division with a 5 goals in 6 games record there has been speculation of him moving, any thoughts?

Who is going ot take the blackburn job? I sure hope it's newell from luton but i doubt it very much. I think Mark hughes will be stupid to give up his wales job. any thoughts?


/That post sounds so n00bish but i'm too tired to sort it out

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Rooney could go for all awards this year then, Player of year, top scorer, most assists, most bookings, biggest FA fines, he could have the lot! He's gonna toughen up a lot now that he's in the spotlight, and he's certinally got players around him now who can help with that

[Untitled]

2 - 1

to us :)

Good good, ill leave you all now.

[mister_riz]

Rooney has a lot of talent but people seem to have overlooked the fact that he didn't actually score many goals in the league at all last season, whereas Owen and many other strikers burst onto the scene and scored lots of goals... Rooney wouldn't be so famous if it wasn't for THAT goal against Arsenal. United now have van Nistelrooy, Rooney, Smith and Saha... thats all very well and good but I'd definately rather have Arsenal's forward four of Henry, Bergkamp, Reyes and van Persie, and what the hell happened to the United midfield???? They're a very creaky team full of holes that they are trying to patch up by buying strikers.

Arsenal for the league this year certainly, they've a very good shot at the champions league and they will win the FA cup if they feel like it:thumb:

Me still second, you are catching up well though.

Need some bigger attendances, and I HAVE GOT TO SORT MY DEFENCE! All my points from midfield mainly

[markhendrix]

Rangers are losing 1-0 away from home to Maritimo (sp?)

[markhendrix]

just give them time to gel.
- with with quality like novo, prso, boumsong, etc coming into the side, i think it should brighten soon.

[markhendrix]

im just going to give them a year or so to gel.
- we're not going to beat celtic this year, i knew that at the start.

even without larsson theyre too strong.

on another note. a maritimo player almost scored from the halfway line...

yeah i know he was only got him so expensive because of performance at euro 2004. The mugs have also forked out 30million for a player thats injured and isnt worth 30mill anyway! They did that with rio ferdinand after the 2002 world cup just because he played well for england whereas if they had waited they could have got him dirt cheap.

[KappaKid17]

Madrid totally got pwned by Leverkusen.

That first goal by Leverkusen was a ****ing howitzer.

[bobisnotmyname]

Middlesbrough 3 - 0 Banik Ostrava

Woooo


:)

[troops_of_doom]

Good results really...Newcastle won 2-0, and Millwall got a 1-1 draw, so they'll probably head out unless they can pull something off in Turkey.

Ferencvaros are from Hungary not Turkey.

[mr snrub]

Just got back from a 2 week business trip in Sweden so have missed out on alot. My main point now though is something that no-one has yet mentioned. Roma vs Kiev. Roma had better be carefull because it isn't the first time their fans have caused an abandom of a match involving them, and if I were in UEFA (which I am not, for the record), I would strongly consider chucking them out of the competition with a hefty fine! And it's not like the ref deserved it, Mexes was a complete idiot for doing it.

I say: Give Kiev the win, and chuck Roma out with a fine, and postpone their next two home matches for safety reasons. I might be being a bit unreasonable but I think it is disgusting.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Well look at how the English teams were treated when our fans were causing problems. banned from playing in Europe. So if they can give that sort of punishment out, then its likely UEFA may take the same actions with Roma. If the fans are that passionate about their club, it will be a harsh lesson to them. Im hoping this thug attitude isn't flaring up again

[KappaKid17]

Good results really...Newcastle won 2-0, and Millwall got a 1-1 draw, so they'll probably head out unless they can pull something off in Turkey.

Kluivert played awesome in that game. His header, the second goal, was near perfection.

[mr snrub]

Yeah he was quality, shame about Butt though, it was stupid and he had only been on the pitch for 2 minutes!

[KappaKid17]

Yeah he was quality, shame about Butt though, it was stupid and he had only been on the pitch for 2 minutes!

That was rediculous.

I wish Butt were still at Man U. :upset:

A lot of my teams didn't play today though, so we need to see how we are at the end of the weekend.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Most of my players did, half lost points, dammit

[mr snrub]

I never did get round to signing up for that...and can someone tell me why we are playing Liverpool on Monday? I'm not complaining, as it means Ferdinand will be back. but it seems very odd to me...

TV coverage I can only guess. Chelsea today on Sky Sports and Southampton aswell i think, so if Man Utd vs Liverpool was to be televised it would have to be on monday.

[Iai]

The situation at Real Madrid annoys me. But only because I hate Arsenal (fans) so much - what with Real in trouble, they're going to walk around all smug saying that they're the best team ever.

I never used to understand why people hated Man U so much - now I know.

[chumpradio]

I'm winning the fantasy football by a slightly larger margin.
I have Gary Neville and John Arne Risse who are both playing in tonights game probably.

[Rancid Dan]

Newcastle are my team , i seriously think that we will contend for 3rd place this year , kluivert will do well for us .

[chumpradio]

I support Everton.
I hope we can keep up with how we are playing now, we could get a top 10 place.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

And of course, Brian Clough, one of the greatest managers ever died today. :upset:

I'm not English but he should have been England manager but the FA were scared of him.

[[Nightbreak]]

QPR won 3-2, and I'm third in the fantasy footie. Result!

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Im down in 5th :upset: and I have no transfers yet. I have 2 players who havent even played a game yet. THIS SUCKS!

Forest playing tommorrow live, so watch the match for the crowd at least. all our fans will be wearing green jumpers in honour of Brian Clough. Very touching, wish I had a green jumper handy.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

It was voted as our way to pay tribute. Although the best tribute would be to win as well. Not sure how many fans wil do it, but knowing our fans, it should be a lot. walking round Nottingham today I saw a fair few already.

go on

See, THAT was a subtle hijack. A reverse hijack, no less.

I believe someone asked if there were any games tonight. Are there?

[Iai]

Nah, Fergie was right to leave him out. There was no way he would have had time to fit in with the rest of the team. To be honest I think tomorrow night is a little early, but the fans are hungry for it. I actually think he'll start with Alan Smith, then sub Rooney on at half time, or something similar.

Ferdinand's comeback was the main thing though.

[davey]

what time does the arsenal game kick-off tonight? Is it 7:45 or 5 o'clock?

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Is it just me (and other non united fans) but was that game last night one of the most entertaining games you've seen them play? For once i was actually cheering for a team other than mine. And I wont say his name, since the papers/news have already overused it, but that lad had one of the more eventful debuts i've seen (and a dream one for you United fans.) Bad luck to Liverpool though.

[troops_of_doom]

There was a good programme on BBC Wales 1 last night about Wrexham's dodgy chairman and asset stripping the club. It might be repeated on BBC Wales 2 tonight.

[Iai]

Although I feel sorry for Smith and Saha. They're both seriously good, but particularly in the case of Saha, I just can't see them playing.

People said that about Sheringham and Solskjaer when Yorke and Cole were in the team. Look what happened there.....

Edit: I'm referring to United winning the European Cup. I may be wrong on the names. :confused:

Bad luck to Liverpool though.

It was the best match I've seen since Brazil played Costa Rica in the 2002 World Cup. That game ended 5-3, if you don't remember.

Best thing about it was, I'm a neutral supporter (or I try my hardest to be) but I was left with such a wide ****-eating grin on my face watching that match. It's so great to think that there's a young British player who will, if he continues anywhere near what he's doing now, do so much good for our national game it's unreal. Hell, he already has, but in the future it will turn people's attention to other British youngsters and possibly stop the almighty influx of foreign players.

Plus, he's so funny to watch. His second goal was unreal, totally out of nowhere. The third was just cheeky, and could not have been better placed at all. It's ther little things, too, like the way he sold the defender before he scored his second, or in about the 8th minute where the keeper tried to run it out and he somehow kept it in play. Or a few occasions where his first touch and initial sprint was so good that defenders were still watching in awe as the ball was being placed for a free kick. I don't think he even realises how good he is. He's just got such a sharp mind for the game.

England v Wales this weekend! Given Michael Owen's newfound role, warming the bench for Real Madrid, does anyone else think England should play Rooney/Defoe up front and leave Owen in his now more familar role?

Surely Azerbaijan is a made-up place?

Time to bring this thread back for the weekend fixtures

Also to say woo hoo for our 1 - 0 triumph tonight. Boy are we gonna miss Reid next game and when he eventually leaves.

Also, who plays football on consoles? As in PES, TIF and FIFA? PES4 is out now, and I bought it today, so its time for some late ights winning trophies on this new awesome game. Anyone else bought/buying it?

Gabriel Heinze will be recognised very soon as the best left back in Britain, bar none.

He's got Ashley Cole for company. Although as a pure left-back, Heinze is better (imo). Cole's better suited to being a winger. Although I've got a lot of respect for Cole for what he did to Ronaldo at Euro 2004.

Alex Ferguson has already recognized this, by the way. :rolleyes:

I get jokes. :upset:

And now, for my third post.

Anyone else amazed by Ferguson's singings this year? In the past few years he's bought some crap, but he hasn't half done well this year. Smith, Rooney, Heinze; even Miller's impressed me from what I've seen of him. And it's nice to see him finally realise United are lacking a physical edge.

Pfft...it's all about Championship Manager I'll have you know. When Reid leaves it'll be a disaster for you, but he really is far too good for Division 1...maybe Spurs will finally buy him. And wait for it, as I'm convinced the great up the table comeback is going to begin. Gabriel Heinze will be recognised very soon as the best left back in Britain, bar none.

I try and avoid Championship manager, otherwise I wouldn't leave the computer ever.

As for Uniteds signings this year, I agree, they have taken note of the lack of physical presence. United is one of the best clubs for a youth player to go to, as the experience there will toughen them up and teach them the ropes better than others. thats why I think Rooney can only improve now

Rooney and Van Nistelrooy are United's main strike force, I feel sorry for Saha and Smith, they've got heavy competition.

It's good for United, though. Remember, their most successful season was when Yorke, Cole, Sheringham, and Solskjaer were all pushing for places.

I'm sure I've put that up in this thread before. :(

Solksjaer is the one I feel sorry for now. He really has no chance.

He's not ever really had a major spell as a regular, he's always been the super sub. But he has had some defining United momnets, more than most other players. Is he not injured though at the moment anyway? Dont follow United news
