Euro 2008 (Official Man City LOL Thread)

[mph4ever]

and west ham unforetunately

and city this season *pukes into bucket*

[Iai]

Man U just generally seem to struggle when they come up against:

a) one of Fergie's ex-players (Wigan!)
b) a manager who Fergie is quite friendly with (West Ham!)

Not that this explains why Boro have continued to surprise you since McLaren left. I genuinely do think that there's this attitude that a lot of Boro players have, where they think they're better than they actually are, so they go out against Derby and Fulham as if they have nothing to prove, but they then play out of their skins against Arsenal and Man U as if that makes the other sub-par performances okay.

The Man City thing I don't get. Are Eriksson and Ferguson friends?

[mph4ever]

i think you might be on to something. boro do have a team of players that would be/have been successful elsewhere. they do seem to have an attitude problem. they might just be a team of nearly men and that hangs over them except when they have to prove themselves against the better teams. perhaps southgate is not the right manager to get the best out of them. i always worry when we play them

[mph4ever]

Barcelona really are a shade of the team they were a couple of years ago. That's part of the reason why Manchester United are a better team at the moment, at least at the back anyway.

Manchester United's defensive displays earned them thier clean sheets and they deserved to go to the final, but in light of all the talk about how United were meant to rip the weak Barcelona defence to shreds the negative performances struck me as dissapointing.


i don't understand how a team that has abidal, puyol, zambrotta and milito can be expected to be ripped apart by anyone.

perhaps their cycle is at an end and they need to refresh themselves. buying henry was stupid, they should have dumped ronaldihno at the same time. too many great players, almost galacticos at this stage, wrong club though.

[Frankie]

It really is frustrating being a boro fan due to our attitudes playing the lesser teams.

Still I have faith that this is the probably the best team we've assembled for a good 3 or 4 seasons. If we can get a decent right winger (O'Neill isn't one) then we might be able to push into the first half of the table.

and lol at randy supposedly not knowing anything about football but it's tribalism :lol:

might care to read the past 887 pages of the thread and be proven wrong.

[mph4ever]

glad you got a laugh out of it, it was meant to be funny, still doesn't mean they know anything about football though :naughty:

who is anyone up for tonight?

[poorquality]

From a Man Utd point of view, I want Liverpool to go through, we always play better than them recently, I think they'd be nervous about playing us tbh.

If Chelsea make it (and they're favourites), then it could be a tight final, Chelsea have a small psycological advantage over us from last weekend, but on our day we can beat them.

Whoever makes it, I just hope the final is a free flowing attacking game of football.

[RandyfromPennywise]

you said


they are not a shade, they were up against a much better team Ah, Barcelona aren't a shade of what they were two seasons ago? I'm sorry, but if you think that they are anywhere near as good as they were when Ronaldinho inspired them to a La Liga/Champions League double in 2005-2006, then you do not watch any Spanish football, and clearly don't watch Barcelona, except when they play against your team. They were up against a quality side, that's true. This is also true: Barcelona are 14 points behind Real in La Liga and have gained 7 points from their last 9 league games. They haven't scored a single goal in their last four matches. If that's not a shade of a Champions League-winning side, I don't know what is.




so essentially you are saying that manu went through because barca were shi'te. i can't read it any other way.
No I am not saying Manchester went through only because Barcelona were shyte. I am saying that Barcelona being shyte was a major factor in the tie. Barcelona absolutely dominated possession, and did nothing with it. However good you think United are, an on form Barcelona would've tested van der Sar a lot more than that XI out there last night and last week. But, like I said, the fact that Barcelona were average takes nothing away from the fact that United went out and did the business. Is this clear?


well simply from your inability to notice that the manu tactics were excellent and that is the only reason barca looked like shi'te I think you've just killed any credibility your football knowledge had. Manchester's tactics were the only reason Barcelona looked like shyte? They've been making themselves look shyte for several months now. But we are all to assume that United's tactics are the only reason they looked average in this tie? Come on.


means that you can really only see your own team and can't appreciate the virtues of others. I am actually a football fan first and foremost.



are you a chelsea fan by any chance?
I am, as I am sure you were already aware.

Oh and by the way, the penalty against Carrick is a clear-cut penalty any day of the week in any game anywhere in the world. Just like Ballack's against Liverpool, which also should have been a penalty, to Liverpool.

And Frankie, thanks mate.

[Minus The Flair]

Shyte shyte shyte. Looking oddly forward to tonights match, I'm predicting a 2-1 to Chelsea.

[Echleon]

Barca are going through an absolutely abysmall patch, i'm pretty sure they havn't scored in 5 games now or something!? Sounds ridiculous when they have players like Henry, Eto'o, Iniesta, Messi, Xavi, Bojan etc.

I'm going for a Chelsea win tonight, thought I would probably rather play Liverpool in the final as we have a much better record against them. Then again, you can see Liverpool breaking the duck at some point and there is no situation more apt than the Champions League Final.

[Pastorius]

I'm well looking forward to it, being a Scouse fan.

Sadly I see us losing, but you never know with Liverpool. We do tend to struggle against English sides in Europe though.

[RandyfromPennywise]

Chelsea have bossed it. Our midfield has been quite brilliant, Maka has been exceptional, particularly his positional play, and Lamps and Bally look lively. Could've been 2-0, Drogba's first effort that was a cross/shot (i.e. not one or the other), if he played that straight across, Joe would've had a tap in. Looking good. Need another one though, Scouse are capable of nicking one, although it looked unlikely in the first 45. Gerrard could do something.

How was Gerrard when he went over to the bench to get the ball, and Grant goes flying. Reminded me of Muscat versus Kosmina, although Gerrard had no malice, situation was just funny.

Yeah I also wanted to say about Liverpool's shape, they were keeping their shape amazingly well in the first 20, you could see it on the pitch, it was like it is on paper, they were holding their shape very, very well. However that didn't really allow Gerrard much freedom.

[Pastorius]

up your arse, come on torres

[Britney Diva]

Chelsea have played very well but they haven't really made it count. This is gonna be an exciting finish :-D

Also lol @ Riise, he really should have been out quicker on Drogba's goal.

[Frankie]

Lamps and Drogba put chelsea 3-1 up

[Pastorius]

oh my god

i go to get some beers at 2-1 and i come back and it's 3-2!

[Minus The Flair]

Third time lucky for Chelsea then. Really wish I could of watched that match, looks like it was a great one.

Would of preffered a 'Pool - United final, but I'll take that.

[RandyfromPennywise]

I have not been as tense/nervous/a complete and utter wreck since the World Cup qualifier in '05 in Sydney. My heart was going insane. Why did Babbel have to go and do that! Oh just amazing, we finally beat the scum, unbelievable. We're all going on a Russian holiday, Russian holiday. I hear Moscow's nice this time of year.

Bab's goal was sensational, but Petr probably should've done better. Our penalty was certainly a pen, and Hyypia dived to try to get a pen which was pretty poor. Lampard was pretty awesome considering everything.

What a game.

[Surtr]

Ready to lose now? You played a team that's fighting for fourth in the Premiership and barely winning. Good luck taking down us United boys. We played half our proper team against you past Sunday and still almost won.

[Britney Diva]

Bab's goal was sensational, but Petr probably should've done better.
It was just bad goalkeeping, really, but a fantastic effort nonetheless by Babbel.

lol @ Hyypia's dive at the end, and Drogba thinking he's given away a penalty.

[The_Passenger]

I cannot believe that people say Andy Gray is biased against Liverpool. He, Hyypia and possibly Benitez are the only people on the face of the planet who thought that was a penalty at the beginning of the second half of extra time.

I now fear a repeat of last year's FA Cup final.

[Pastorius]

United will take it, no doubt in my mind.

[RandyfromPennywise]

Ready to lose now? You played a team that's fighting for fourth in the Premiership and barely winning. Good luck taking down us United boys. We played half our proper team against you past Sunday and still almost won.

Ahaha honestly right now I could care less, I'm so happy we beat that red scum from Liverpool. I'd much prefer United to win it than Liverpool. And I wouldn't be so cocky, hubris is unbecoming. We beat you in the Cup final last year, didn't we? Anyway, whatever, I hope the better team on the day wins. (And let's hope for some decent football.)

Ah **** me this is brilliant, we beat Liverscum in the semis. Oh the beauty.

[mph4ever]

i thought the game was rubbish. essien is probably the only class act in blue. stupid goals, worse refereeing. poxy weather, poxy pitch. it really has destroyed the champs league that chelsea have gotten through, but i do suppose that money can buy success in football these days. liverpool would have been much more worthy adversaries. and it would have been better for football as a whole. chelsea don't belong in the elite and never will, no mattter how hard they try. they might even win it, but like i said previously, its a sad state of affairs when teams like chelsea are winning the champs league, really sad. i feel so much for the scousers that they missed the chance, the same as we did last year when milan beat us. it would have great in athens, it would have been great in moscow, now its just shyte.

and what was grant doing kneeling on the pitch. i would be embarrased to be a chelsea fan watching such overpaid idiots act like superstars. i guess roman will have him in the room for the next three weeks telling him what to do in every eventuality so it looks like he is managing the team :naughty::naughty::naughty:

:chug:

[RandyfromPennywise]

Embarrassed to be a Chelsea fan? I'd be embarrassed to be you after that post.

[talk show host]

Bit gutted about that result but as long as the football's better than the fa cup final I don't really care.

Man u - Liverpool would've been more memorable though. Probably.

[Iai]

Put the handbags away ladies.

[Britney Diva]

liverpool would have been much more worthy adversaries.
I'm not sure how anybody could say this. Chelsea are a better footballing team and they outfought Liverpool in practically every area tonight. They may not play sexy football but they're a top class team.

[Minus The Flair]

I now fear a repeat of last year's FA Cup final.

Ugh, God no. At least it couldn't be any worse.

And yeah, agree with Spat that Chelsea are equally, if not more worthy than L'Pool, but I'd still of preffered a L'pool final for obvious reasons.

[mph4ever]

Embarrassed to be a Chelsea fan? I'd be embarrassed to be you after that post.

oh well, alls fair in love and football. i just wish we'd have got liverpool. it would have been so much more meaningful for football. i apologise if i went over the top but being such a football fanatic yourself i am sure you can appreciate why a manu liverpool final would have been monumentous compared to something that lacks rivalry.

apparently grant went down on his knees for nothing to do with football. its a holocaust day in israel so he went down for that. sweet, isn't it

[The_Passenger]

but i do suppose that money can buy success in football these days.
Yeah, becuase it's not as if Manchester United have blown £25million+ on a single player or anything like that before

liverpool would have been much more worthy adversaries.
Chelsea are better than Liverpool and closer to Manchester United in quality. I don't know how else you explain why the gap between Chelsea and Man Utd is 0 points and Man Utd and Liverpool 11 points.

chelsea don't belong in the elite and never will, no mattter how hard they try. they might even win it, but like i said previously, its a sad state of affairs when teams like chelsea are winning the champs league, really sad.

yeah, I mean what's the point if a team other than Europe's established powerhouses wins the competiton. how dare a team challenge them

[Frankie]

People just want to be attractive football played by the best two teams. Liverpool arent as good a team as Chelsea which is fact if you take a look at the table.

Still be nice to see some of the dead wood leave chelsea this summer and start playing some attractive football.

[Pastorius]

Right now, as a Liverpool fan, we're not as good as Chelsea.

Just look at the league, look at the football we've been playing, look at the strength in depth. I still prefer watching Liverpool play, but there is no doubting Chelsea have been the better team this season. Next season, who knows. I hope Babel plays a more prominent role next year, and Torres carrying on his form wouldn't hurt.

[Dead Star]

Chelsea better not defend for the full ****ing game again.

Hope Utd win.

[The_Passenger]

Yeah one thing I would say about Chelsea is that for a team of their resources they should be playing better football than they do. I see a lot of teams that come to Home Park (and indeed Argyle themselves) play long balls and a direct game like Chelsea and I just think that a team challenging for the title should do a little better. Not that it hasn't worked for them.

[mph4ever]

Yeah, becuase it's not as if Manchester United have blown £25million+ on a single player or anything like that before

see, you can't buy pride in a football club. you are what you are. thats what makes newcastle great, the pride the fans take in their team even without winning anything. derby fans are derby fans through and through. i love burnley fans. but when you try to buy it then you cheapen football. liverpool fans expect, arsenal fans expect, madrid fans expect, milan fans expect, chelsea fans hope that roman gets it right and keeps the cheque book open, they don't realise that you can't buy tradition.

[badtaste]

Interesting how Drogba didn't dive as much after Benitez's comments, and still managed to grab a couple of goals.

[TakeWarning]

Lol @ Liverpool not winning any silverware this season.

For the life of me I can't figure out why Alonso gets paid each week, the last few Liverpool games I've watched he just seems to play long balls to no-one in particular.

[RandyfromPennywise]

Well you might be surprised to know that our club has a lot of history. Yes, we have not been as successful as the Uniteds and Arsenals of the world, but we have more than 100 years of proud history in SW6 and we are an important club in England, and we have been for most of those 102 years.

[mph4ever]

i know, i'm only pulling your leg.

chelsea were alwayss a bogie team for us, it looks like they have the chance to upset us on the biggest stages, both premier league and champions league. if only they both had not gone out of the fa cup

[Spiney_Norman]

Interesting how Drogba didn't dive as much after Benitez's comments, and still managed to grab a couple of goals.

Yup. It's always amused me how such a big guy can fall over so easily :)

[Iai]

Drogba would have got at least 6 more goals this season if he hadn't gone over so much. He has the power to stand his ground and create chances under pressure, and he doesn't, which baffles me. Unless he's just scared of getting injured, which is entirely possible.

[Pastorius]

Lol @ Liverpool not winning any silverware this season.

For the life of me I can't figure out why Alonso gets paid each week, the last few Liverpool games I've watched he just seems to play long balls to no-one in particular.

Alonso is one of the best passers in the game man, when he links up with Gerrard he's fantastic.

[RandyfromPennywise]

Yeah look I have to agree, Xabi Alonso is a brilliant passer of the round ball, he really is class. He does professional fouls all the time which really makes him scum. He and Mascherno do it all the time.

It's strange about Drogba, but when you really look at it, he's actually not a 'diver'. He accentuates contact, but he doesn't 'dive' per say. He definitely goes down easily, but not without contact. He only goes down easily if there is contact. I'm not saying he's not a diver - he is - but he doesn't try to win fouls when there is not contact; he only tries to accentuate contact. Interesting difference.

[RandyfromPennywise]

Dave/Plath, yeah I've had a look at the goal a few times now and I think you're being harsh on Riise, he couldn't really have got out much quicker. If you look at Drogba's run, well there was nothing really that John Arne could've done about it.

[RandyfromPennywise]

Zenit 4 - 0 Bayern Munich. Crazy.

[Frankie]

Arshavin is a ****in lege

Still its incredible to think that a team which contains Ribery, Klose and Toni cant reach the final to the UEFA cup.

[poorquality]

Nice triple post Randy ;)

St. Petersberg are spanking Munich, I love it, Hope rangers do the job tonight too.

[dei]

I didn't even know Russia had a league and then I turn on the TV to see Bayern getting raped up the *** by Zenit.

[Frankie]

they cant just play 4-5-1 every single game then pray that Darcheville grabs one on the break

[ATM]

Daniel Cousin gets sent off for **** all

what a ****in fanny Liverani is rolling around like prick, he should of been sent off

AND I HATE RANGERS !

[talk show host]

ah penalties, maybe some excitement

[Frankie]

Rangers win ey

Both your teams make it to the finals ey Randy

[RandyfromPennywise]

Haven't watched the Gers match yet. Reckon the final will be interesting. After last night though I'd say that Zenit will rape Gers 3-0.

[loathed]

Haven't watched the Gers match yet. Reckon the final will be interesting. After last night though I'd say that Zenit will rape Gers 3-0.

anything could happen, its the final! :p 90 mins.

[Frankie]

I reckon the way Arshavin has played in the UEFA cup he might get signed by a prem team.

His pace'll be quite suited to the game.

[mph4ever]

manu for a 2 nil tomorrow

chelsea to struggle against newcastle since newcastle are a team full of blokes playing to be kept on for next season

still at a loss for why keegan came back

[talk show host]

Hoping for Reading and Sunderland to win tomorrow with Birmingham and Fulham drawing. Only one or two of those will happen though :(

[sgrevs]

Fulham v Birmingham will be a cracker methinks. I'm tipping Fulham, they seem to have more drive to stay up.

[Pastorius]

Yeah man, I reckon Fulham will win it. Bullard is a great player, cracking free kick.

[badtaste]

It's strange about Drogba, but when you really look at it, he's actually not a 'diver'. He accentuates contact, but he doesn't 'dive' per say. He definitely goes down easily, but not without contact. He only goes down easily if there is contact. I'm not saying he's not a diver - he is - but he doesn't try to win fouls when there is not contact; he only tries to accentuate contact. Interesting difference.

Bah, there's a difference between 'accentuating contact' and 'accentuating contact, and then pretending like you've broken your leg requiring play to be stopped so that you can get "medical attention", receiving the magical spray and a drink, and then miraculously continuing on in the game'

[Spiney_Norman]

Bah, there's a difference between 'accentuating contact' and 'accentuating contact, and then pretending like you've broken your leg requiring play to be stopped so that you can get "medical attention", receiving the magical spray and a drink, and then miraculously continuing on in the game'

I agree, pretending to be injured so the game has to be stopped is cheating. Amazing how many players are dying on the pitch when the oppostion's got the ball, but then thirty seconds later sprint the length of the pitch to tackle someone :rolleyes:

[RandyfromPennywise]

I agree 100%, my argument is that he doesn't go down without contact, which I think is what most people say is "diving". I hate what Drogba does. I just think that he's probably not the typical 'diver', but cheater nonetheless. I hate it. That's one of the main reasons why Robben is my most hated Chelsea player ever. Hate that scum.

Oh and by the way, Tévez's goal was sublime.

[Frankie]

Good win over Motherwell today

and Utd absolutely thumped West Ham

[poorquality]

Ronaldo reached 40 goals :] well happy for him.

Tevez' goal was a peach, absolutely loved it, Astons goal was quality too.

What the hell was Nani doing retalliating to Neill?

To be fair according to the rules Neill should of gone too for the knee, slap n push, but I can't complain about Nani's sending off.

[Frankie]

F'ucking get in there my son boro 2-0 up

[talk show host]

****ing dire

[Collis]

F'ucking get in there my son boro 2-0 up

With being a Stoke fan I was glad for Riggott that he got a goal, then again it will hinder our chances of signing him in the summer...

That is if we go up of course. I say, tomorrow is the biggest game we've had for 25 years or so. Sheesh, I've slept a wink the last few days.

Is there anybody on here who supports a Championship club? The support for the big three or four on here is quite shocking, well, unless you are all from Manchester/London.

[RandyfromPennywise]

The support for Liverpool everywhere in the world is shocking. But really I didn't think the support here was biased towards the big four more than anywhere else - I'd say much less than half the people who post in this thread don't support one of the big four. And I think I'm the only Chelsea fan anyway, so really it's United and 'Pool, not many Arse or Chels fans really.

[Frankie]

Surprisingly enough there are more boro fans than Chelsea fans. Even about 2 or 3 Spurs supporters.

[rik]

With being a Stoke fan I was glad for Riggott that he got a goal, then again it will hinder our chances of signing him in the summer...

I don't really follow the Championship all too much, how has Ameobi done since arriving there?

[Frankie]

Reckon WBA will win the championship today. They also have the best chance of staying up if they can improve their defence

[Spiney_Norman]

My mate supports Southampton, so we're going to the pub to see if they can get relegated a year after being in the playoffs. :)
Which will be hilarious.

[Britney Diva]

I hope Reading stay up. Even a win over Derby may not be enough :(

[sgrevs]

There's not too many 'Pool supporters in here, Pastorius and I are the only ones I can think of right now, I'm sure there's a few more.

I want Fulham and Reading to both stay up, but if I'd have to choose one it'd be Fulham. They've shown real balls in the last few weeks.

[Frankie]

Reckon it might be Reading and Birmingham joining Derby

[Pastorius]

Yeah me and sgrevs are the only Liverpool fans I know of. My housemate is a Man City supporter, gonna be fun watching MOTD tonight.

I would choose Fulham to stay up, been giving it a proper battle recently, they deserve it.

[talk show host]

I'm pretty certain Reading won't win against Derby. The whole team is just shockingly bad at the moment.

[sgrevs]

Yeah me and sgrevs are the only Liverpool fans I know of. My housemate is a Man City supporter, gonna be fun watching MOTD tonight.



What do you reckon of Barry at L'pool, if he comes?

[Britney Diva]

I'm pretty certain Reading won't win against Derby. The whole team is just shockingly bad at the moment.
I wonder if Coppell will make a radical change for the final game and play everyone in their correct positions.

[Pastorius]

Gazza Barry? Would be a valuable addition, seeing as they're letting Alonso go in the summer. Barry's a good passer, and a good anchor midfielder, would allow Gerrard to roam upfield more and trouble defences. What do you reckon?

We need a right winger too, dunno who they've got their eye on though. Bentley would be PERFECT, but I can't see Blackburn letting him go just yet.

[Britney Diva]

Why is Alonso leaving? He's inconsistent, but I'd take him over Gareth Barry any day.

[sgrevs]

Is Alonso leaving for sure? I didn't know that if so. I don't mind him leaving so much, he has been very inconsistent of late. Barry, Gerrard, and Mascherano revolving around the centre would be killer. I think it'd be nice to have a left-footed centre mid, there aren't many of them around.

A right wing would be good too, playing Kuyt out there doesn't work all that well. I can't see Bentley coming, Pennant is pretty good yet also inconsistent.

[Britney Diva]

Rangers drop two points against Hibs. They're 7 behind with 3 games in hand now :-D

[Frankie]

Benayoun is miles better than Kuyt on the right and Pennant

Getttttinn Hibs draw with Rangers

[Surtr]

Another win for Celtic and Man. Utd. seals up the Premiership and SPL. If they both do it I'll be a happy camper :)

Not to mention if Motherwell hold the 3rd spot it'd be really nice.

All my teams have shaped up and come out rather nice this year.

[Collis]

Oh Stoke I do absolutely love you.

Anfield and Emirates next year, hahahahaha! :D

[mph4ever]

i like stoke, thats where we got jimmy greenhoff in the 70's and i loved him

[talk show host]

I wonder if Coppell will make a radical change for the final game and play everyone in their correct positions.

tbh i'll be happy if he just changes something before the 80th minute if things are going horribly wrong.

[Collis]

i like stoke, thats where we got jimmy greenhoff in the 70's and i loved him

Yeah we had to sell him for funds to repair a terrace roof which blew off.

[Dead Star]

Rangers drop two points against Hibs. They're 7 behind with 3 games in hand now :-D

And Hibs get 1 point closer to us :(:(

[RandyfromPennywise]

Barcelona have just absolutely destroyed Valencia 6-0.

[Britney Diva]

haha somebody had to absorb Barcelona's fury after Tuesday

[VomitStainedCretin]

My mate supports Southampton, so we're going to the pub to see if they can get relegated a year after being in the playoffs. :)
Which will be hilarious.As a Pompey fan, I was disappointed by today's result. My old PE teacher will be overjoyed at Stoke going up.

[Frankie]

Were you more disappointed with losing to us or saints not getting relegated ?

[VomitStainedCretin]

Were you more disappointed with losing to us or saints not getting relegated ?Saints not getting relegated, lost opportunity for extra bragging rights; though our recent form is disappointing - seems the team have got their eyes on the cup final now.

[talk show host]

just beat Fulham on Sunday please.

[Pastorius]

Nice one Torres, yet another goal for him, yet another defender beaten on pace!

I wish Kuyt's volley would have gone in, like the commentators said, Van Basten-esque

[sgrevs]

I can't believe Crouchie didn't get a game! I just feel bad for him now.

[Pastorius]

He's being released at the end of the season, we're gonna have to bring in some strikers. Kuyt might be being released too I heard.

Perhaps we can sign....BERBATOV

[sgrevs]

Kuyt?? I don't want Kuyt to go, I think he's been good for us. He doesn't stop running at all, and he wins balls that just seem impossible to win. Sure, he doesn't score too much, but I think he plays really well with Gerrard and Torres.

Also, I don't know if Berba would be worth bringing, he's very similar to Torres, but I guess a bit more creative.

[TakeWarning]

I'll be sad to Berbatov go if he leaves in the summer, but you can't blame him for wanting to go to a club which will be playing Champion's League next year.


Also, I don't know if Berba would be worth bringing, he's very similar to Torres, but I guess a bit more creative.

...not really.

[sgrevs]

Not really similar or not really more creative?

The more I think about it the less similar they seem, but Berba is certainly more creative.

[TakeWarning]

I meant not really similar.

[Pastorius]

Nah they're not that similar. Berbatov is a wonderful creator of chances, I think he could work really well with Torres.

To be honest, I'd like to keep Kuyt, he's been playing really well recently, if he can carry his form on into next season I'd be pleased.

[RandyfromPennywise]

Yeah to be fair Kuyt has changed and adapted his game remarkably since coming over from Holland. There he was way more prolific and more of a striker - now he's very versatile under Benitez and has one of the best work-rates of anyone in the league. I think Liverpool would be foolish to let him go, at the least he's a very useful player to have in your squad.

Berbatov and Torres would be a magic combination, up there with any other combo in the league, if not Europe. Seriously they'd be magic together.

Here's a question: Drogba at his best or Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink at his best?

Jimmy at his best - ripped **** up in Portugal for a season (Boavista) before moving to Leeds where he continued to rip **** us for Leeds for two seasons, then he went to Spain and was top scorer with 32 goals for Atletico Madrid, then he came to Chelsea and was top scorer at the club three times, and his first two seasons were sensational.

Drogba at his best - a pretty good season for Guingamp, getting a goal every other game, then a prolific season at Marseille, scoring 30 goals, then off to England and two average seasons before one brilliant season.

It's a pretty tough question I reckon. I mean the obvious answer is to go for Drogba because he's at his best right now, just scored two in a ECL semi final, but Jimmy was hot **** there for quite a number of seasons. Not sure on my verdict. I prefer Hasselbaink as a player, what a character. Those stares he used to give, what a legend. Best goal celebration when he just stood there and looks to the side. But Drogba has his qualities too. What do you lot reckon?

Ok I'm going for Jimmy.

[Frankie]

Jimmy was still banging 'em in for the boro both in the UEFA and the league when we finished 7th

So I'd personally go fer Jimmy

[RandyfromPennywise]

Yep. And he didn't dive half as much as Didier. Although I remember one shocking dive from JFH that won us a penalty against Coventry, pretty sure that was the day he scored 4 and Kirkland was on his debut in goals and had 6 smashed past him.

Flamini, what a huge loss for Arsenal and a great gain for Milan.

Btw, think I'll take advantage of the IMG tags here and show some of the new kits...

I really like the Chelsea home kit. It's a nice change, oldschool-esque.

[TakeWarning]

I wonder if Arsenal will find anyone to replace Flamini. He's going to be difficult to replace if Wenger chooses to go down that path.

[sgrevs]

I dig the new 'Pool uniform but i don't dig the collar on the new Chelsea one.

[Iai]

Yeah the collar is a little odd.

Man U have re-released the 1999 shirt lol. Plus a load of t-shirts with crap about going to Moscow. Is anyone really going to buy this stuff? It'll be out of date in what, two weeks?

[sgrevs]

Heaps of people bought Liverpool ones when we won the final in Istanbul. I even bought 2 shirts.

[Iai]

Before or after you'd actually won the thing?

[sgrevs]

I bought the 2 after we'd won, but there were heaps around weeks before the game. One of mine has a photo of the team holding the cup, the other has the squad list. Both pretty lame in hindsight, but when I was 16 it was awesome.

[talk show host]

I like that Chelsea kit, much better than the one they've got now.

[badtaste]

I like their current one. The collar on that shirt is revolutionary, haha.

Gonna miss the Liverpool collar as well.

[dei]

I don't like the new Liverpool kit. Haven't seen Chelsea's yet.

[RandyfromPennywise]

Yeah the collar is a little odd.

In 2024 they'll be 'retro' and worth a mint.

[TakeWarning]

I don't like the new Liverpool kit. Haven't seen Chelsea's yet.

Chelsea's kit is at the top of the page.

I don't like it, the collar looks out of place.

Liverpool's looks OK, have any others been released?

[RandyfromPennywise]

I just fkn hate it how ADIDAS insists on putting it's three stripes on every kit it makes. Umbro were awesome, they allowed some real individuality and creativity for each club and each kit. Adidas kits feel like they are all part of some set. I have about a dozen Chelsea shirts, but haven't bought anything since we've been with adidas, and won't until we change.

[sgrevs]

I'm pretty sure that was the kit Liverpool used against Man City on Sunday.

[badtaste]

I'm pretty sure that was the kit Liverpool used against Man City on Sunday.

Mmyes, this is correct, the Poo did debut their new kit.

[Iai]

Fair point, well made.

[dei]

Eh, these new Adidas kits are terrible. The collars are no good and the three stripes are even more noticeable now that they only go halfway down the sleeve.

[Pastorius]

I quite like the Liverpool one, it's a retro design, 93-94, around that time it reminds me of.

[VomitStainedCretin]

Jimmy at his best - ripped **** up in Portugal for a season (Boavista) before moving to Leeds where he continued to rip **** us for Leeds for two seasons, then he went to Spain and was top scorer with 32 goals for Atletico Madrid, then he came to Chelsea and was top scorer at the club three times, and his first two seasons were sensational.JFH was fantastic back in the day and he isn't as much of a twat personality-wise aas Drogba.

[Surtr]

Saw that a few weeks ago. The collar thing is ****ing weird, but I don't mind the whole JAXX thing, it looks sick, much better than Ang. and they're giving us loads more money too. Its some good stuff. Still though, I ****ing hate Bukta lol, I mean come on, lets get someone worth it making our kits lol.

[badtaste]

3 designs for the boro home cant remember which one was actually picked

http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk159/tommyowl/newborokit.jpg

Ah yeah, that was a good campaign, allowing the fans or members to vote for the kit.

Just checked out the website, the winning design will be revealed tomorrow or the day after. Glad to have the band back though.

[Iai]

So I get why David Wheater and Tuncay Sanli were picked to model the kit.....but Adam Johnson? Really?

[TakeWarning]

I noticed Boro had chosen some odd people to model their kit. I've never seen that Adam Johnson bloke before.

New Spurs kits look pretty bad, which means I won't order one this year. I'd post it but I don't know how. :(

[Iai]

He's a youth player, generally plays on the left wing. So basically he's competing with Stewart Downing- no surprise he never gets a game.

[Frankie]

Which is a shame really as when they both start of either wing they do cause defenders trouble.

Was a bit peculiar to have Adam model the new kit tho. Myself I prefer the one Tuncay's wearing.

[dei]

The new Spurs kits look a lot like the old kits. The only difference is the colours.

[talk show host]

which is a good thing since they haven't got that horrible yellow kit now (I think).

[dei]

I liked the yellow kit.

[badtaste]

Speaking of yellow...

http://img2.putfile.com/main/1/1608442069.jpg
http://img2.putfile.com/main/1/1608442099.jpg

Not sure if these are the real things or not.

[dei]

I hope not. Arsenal's current kits are great. I just wish they had kept the yellow kit.

[Dead Star]

The current Arsenal away kit is so nice.

[Pastorius]

Seaman's old shirt with all the triangles of different colours was the best.

[RandyfromPennywise]

Real Madrid just destroyed Barcelona 4-1.

[Pastorius]

Now here is a shirt to be proud of. It's for sale, I want it too much.

http://www.classicfootballshirts.co.uk/images/Liverpool-95-AwayPP-Ruddock.gif
http://www.classicfootballshirts.co.uk/images/Liverpool-95-AwayPP.gif

[Britney Diva]

I'd buy it if it had "Clough 7" on the back.

[Pastorius]

Are you crazy? Razor Ruddock was a classic. I can still remember when he headed the ball so hard he almost knocked himself out.

[Britney Diva]

Or when he broke both of Andy Cole's legs lol

[Pastorius]

Proper hard player. And he scored from a 3 yard free kick resulting from a backpass. Under a wall of 7 people, nice one Neil.

I'd also like a Grobbelar shirt.

[mph4ever]

Or when he broke both of Andy Cole's legs lol

or when he headed the equaliser in the 3-3 against manu, that was soul destroying. he was one tough man, surprised he hasn't done anything like vinnie jones yet

[mph4ever]

Proper hard player. And he scored from a 3 yard free kick resulting from a backpass. Under a wall of 7 people, nice one Neil.

best goalkeeper in the league ever, certainly up there. he was one of the bravest and craziest ever. he went for so many balls that other keepers wouldn't even dream of. when he missed one then they would consider him a clown, he was no clown, he was brilliant

[Pastorius]

He certainly was a fantastic keeper, he threw his body about like a madman.

[ThrashMaster27]

Good old Shaky legs Grobbelaar :D

I think his best moment was when he was playing for Southampton and was taking money from the crowd after his match fixing aligations... and he gave the money to one of the stewards.

Quality.

[Pastorius]

Greatest Brucey moment?

When him and Mcmanaman has a lovers tiff and he pushed him in the face

[mph4ever]

i never thought much of mcmanaman as a footballer, always thought he was toshack's love child after he moved to real madrid. 100k per week for five years, you have to admire him for that

[RandyfromPennywise]

"McManaman is believed to have pocketed an estimated 15 million Euros (just under £10,250,000) in his four years in Madrid."

[mph4ever]

he made 94 appearances and scored 8 goals, that €160k per game played and €2m per goal, fu'ck me, he must have been toshack's love child

[Frankie]

Rijkaard has said he'll leave at the end of the season

Shame really :|

[RandyfromPennywise]

He actually played 154 games and scored 14 goals, the 94 and 8 figures are for La Liga only. Even still... Reminds me of Winston Bogarde who, if the figures are to be believed, earned at least £8m during his four seasons at Chelsea. Not saying that McManaman and Bogarde's situation are anything alike, just that the huge sums reminded me of Bogarde. To be honest he was always ridiculed, but Chelsea were the idiots who offered him £40k a week!!!

Kind of gets ludicrous when the sums are like that. John Terry earns £135,000 per week. That's his weekly wage from Chelsea. So he can bank on £7m a year before tax. That's all before he even talks to Adidas, the FA, Umbro, and whoever else. Crazy sums.

[mph4ever]

thanks for the corrections, i was thinking they were a little strange even for someone like macca.

yes, winston, they were crazy sums, but i would have said that terry is worth a significant amount of it to chelsea. he's a rock.

[mph4ever]

Rijkaard has said he'll leave at the end of the season

Shame really :|

will he go to chelsea and bring messi with him? you'll find that no matter where he goes there will be a couple of followers

[RandyfromPennywise]

Barcelona are about to start a new phase, where the Decos, Ronaldinhos and Henrys even will be replaced by the Messis, Dos Santoses and Bojans. 'Dihno and Rijkaard are certain to leave, surely others will follow. Zambrotta is leaving too from memory, think he's going to Milan.

Messi at Chelsea would have me frothing. Messi and Kaka at Chelsea would have me frothing heavily.

Was just reading that Zidane was on about £70k a week or so in his last season at Madrid. JT is Chelsea but he ain't worth more than Zidane!!! To be fair, the only reason he and Lampard are paid more than £100k a week is because we're sh'it scared of losing either of them. I guess that's the only reason every player is paid what he is paid - enough to keep him from wanting to see how green the other grass is. I guess that's why wages keep going up all the time, too.

[Pastorius]

Messi at Chelsea and I'd cack my pants.

Aren't they signing Kaka in the summer too? 56m I heard, with 98m set aside for Messi.

[mph4ever]

sure, i suppose the teams are looking at what it would cost to replace these guys and build that into the wages. so whilst they cost a lot to keep, replacing them would be expensive, and you can't always be sure you will get replacements that fit. plus, i notice, manu, chelsea, liverpool are always trying to hang on to one england superstar or more. gooners don't seem to care much for english talent

[Iai]

On that note, it came out today that Wenger *DID* try to sign Woodgate in the January transfer market, and failed. Outbid and outmaneuvered by Spurs, for a player that could quite easily have made a crucial difference to the way Arsenal's season petered out. Interesting.

[RandyfromPennywise]

What a blow to Arsenal, and massive boost to Spurs. Really not good enough from Arsenal if they really wanted him. Senderos was quite awful at times, El Woody would've helped their defence massively.

[Frankie]

Wheater's better than him.

And thats just not cos I'm a boro fan. The lad will play for england

[mph4ever]

wheater for england, wheater for england

[TakeWarning]

Woodgate has been a rock in the Spurs defence for the second half of the season. If only Ledley King were fit once every few seasons.

Also, Dos Santos apparently wants to leave Barcelona, with Manchester City the favourites to sign him.

[Britney Diva]

Woodgate has been a rock in the Spurs defence for the second half of the season. If only Ledley King were fit once every few seasons.
lol Michael Dawson

Spurs would do well to snap up Richard Dunne in the summer, since he's apparently too smart to stick around while City fall apart. Liverpool and Newcastle are allegedly after him too. Both are in bad need of a strong presence at centre half.

[badtaste]

Been on the rumour mill for a while, but Benitez has announced that Kewell will be on his way, and Crouch will be put on the market. I reckon both are capable of making a new name for themselves elsewhere.

[sgrevs]

lol Michael Dawson

Liverpool have Carra, Agger, and Skrtel, and to a lesser extent, Hyypia. Why buy another?

Kewell is finished though, he'll never be back. Not in England at least, maybe in the A-League in a year or two.

[mph4ever]

the special one to barca, bringing lamps and terry with him whilst kaka and messi end up with chelsea

[rik]

I'd love to sign Dunne, I think him and Taylor at centre back would make a great pairing. Though I think Faye has been pretty outstanding alongside Taylor this season, he's got an immensely strong presence.

[Pastorius]

Liverpool are fine for centre backs. We need a left back and a right winger most.

[Britney Diva]

Liverpool have Carra, Agger, and Skrtel, and to a lesser extent, Hyypia. Why buy another?.
Because he's better than any of those players.

Agger is the best defender at the club by some measure, but he's going to be vulnerable to injury next season.

[badtaste]

Kewell is finished though, he'll never be back. Not in England at least, maybe in the A-League in a year or two.

Well, if his injuries keep knocking him down, then yeah, he's over. I'm hoping he can still go on in Italy or Spain, or anywhere in Europe.

Just read that Gattuso is on his way to Bayern Munich, and that the deal is supposedly done already.

[Britney Diva]

It's well known that most of Kewell's injuries are sustained walking the streets of Liverpool.

[sgrevs]

Did anyone else see something about Benitez putting a 15mil value on Crouch? Or is this something ridiculous that I imagined?

[Dead Star]

I heard about that. Far too high imho.

[mph4ever]

crouch, 15m, half that and portsmouth would have him. hes started at southamptonm didn't he

kewell is a class act. he married a bird from emerdale farm and when his big chance came for a move away from the north she wouldn't go because of her "acting" career. hes been kicking up dust ever since, not too sure anyone would be able to revive his career

[Echleon]

It's even more ridiculous that Crouch only has one more year left on his contract. Clubs wont pay £15m - what's to stop them waiting another year and getting him on a free?

[Pastorius]

Crouch 15m?

He's worth triple that.

[Britney Diva]

15m is actually referring to his height.

[Pastorius]

A million for every foot I heard Benitez was saying.

He's on the market at 54 million.

Benayoun ?


Or do you not rate him, cos I certainly do

Wouldnt mind seeing him at the boro next season or even Andrei Arshavin. Looks unlikely but whatever

[sgrevs]

I reckon Benayoun is great and I can't really see him leaving right now. I hope not anyway. I reckon Crouch will go if we get a 7mil+ bid, no matter what Benitez says now.

[mph4ever]

liverpool have a couple of players they could offload like pennent and crouch. they could also let stevie g go to manu on a free plz lol

[VomitStainedCretin]

crouch, 15m, half that and portsmouth would have him. hes started at southamptonm didn't he
He played for portsmouth before Scum actually.

I reckon since Mourinho wants to be Portuguese national coach he will wait until the end of Euro 2008 and see if Scolari goes to Man City.

[Dead Star]

I hate listening to games on the radio. If we beat Aberdeen today, and Hibs lose to Celtic tomorrow, we finish 3rd, and go on a European tour.

Come on.

anyway, no matter what happens they are there on merit and may the best team win, best of luck

funny, i'll be saying that in 10 days time also!

[poorquality]

Nervous about today, don't know why, on paper it looks like a win for United, today of all days I wish it was won on paper.

Though I have faith in the boys to do it, I can't see us conceding, so I think it's down to getting the goals, and with Cristiano '40 goals' Ronaldo I think we can do it.

[talk show host]

Not looking forward to this afternoon. I hate that a win might not even be enough and I can just see Fulham scoring the winner in the last minute of injury time.

And it's going to be the horrible gd that ****s it afterall.

United I think will have the title all but wrapped up by halftime.

[ChodaBoy]

United and Chelsea to both win, Fulham, Birmingham and Derby for the drop

[mph4ever]

my heart is with reading, i grew up loving football played the steve coppell way. i don't want to be unfair to the others but reading are a good club, a well run club. fulham is a club i like, i just can't see harry allowing his team to relax in their last serious warm up before the cup final.

i think birmingham have made a mess this season. i could see them bouncing back. mcleish said on tv today that "it takes time to build a club, i have every belief in the future of birmingham", he talks like a bloke who knows the drop is coming

I think Reading will stay up, but I'd much prefer Fulham too. Birmingham have no chance really. And United pretty much have the title in the bag, I don't see Wigan as being too hard to beat with nothing to play for.

[TakeWarning]

I've only seen him play twice this season.

He looked very good against Palace, played 90 minutes and got two assists. Would be great to see him in the Barclaycard English Premier League.
