Euro 2008 (Official Man City LOL Thread)

[Pastorius]

Allardyce*

I think.

I hope the ban sticks to be honest, I hate the guy.

[Echleon]

I'd like to see the FA show some consistency and ban Terry for a extra game for launching an ultimately frivolous appeal.

It won't happen as he play for a top 4 club.

Tbh there is abit of a differance from pulling someone down, and slapping someone in the face :P

[Frankie]

Tbh there is abit of a differance from pulling someone down, and slapping someone in the face :P

Mascherano had already raised his hands to him, and it was a push not a slap.

It's ok tho' we lowly supporters of clubs who don't have billions are used to being treated with a different set of rules to the bigger clubs.

[mph4ever]

I hope the ban sticks to be honest, I hate the guy.

[RandyfromPennywise]

Terry's better than any player who plays at any of your clubs. Better than fkn GAYrrard for sure. Anyone been watching how Lampard's been playing this season? Anyone been watching that ched?

Australia beat Uzbekistan in Tashkent last week. What a massive result. Massive game against Qatar in Brisbane next month, can't wait. Timmy C's back as well.

Adelaide United play against Kashima Antlers in the quarter-finals of the Asian Champions League on Wednesday night. Absolutely massive. Hopefully a 0-0 or a 1-1 or 0-1 to bring the away goal back to Hindmarsh on the 24th. Come on you Reds.

[Pastorius]

Terry is better than Gerrard, what does that even mean

[Britney Diva]

John Terry is better than Arsene Wenger

Figure that one out

[808]

Terry is better than Nelson Mandela.

[Happy]

Spurs lose again.
****ing hell.

[Pastorius]

Oh dear oh dear oh dear

[Britney Diva]

lol spurs

I hear that it could have been 5 or 6.

lol spurs

[Frankie]

Bye bye juande rammmmmmmmmmmmos-h

[Britney Diva]

Oh! They've just started showing it on Setanta now XD

Maybe they can hire Keggie Keegle now.

[RandyfromPennywise]

Terry is better than Gerrard, what does that even mean

It means that he is a better player, a better leader, a better person, a better man. Danny Guthrie is better than Gerrard.

Villa are a solid unit who have reached that level now where they will consistently beat the teams that they should beat. At least that's how I see them. O'Neill's a good gaffer and he's coaching his side well. They should finish top 6 again, and really they should finish 5th unless another club has a massive surge: you would say that last year's 5th and 7th (Everton and Blackburn) won't repeat that, so by rights, Villa should finish 5th. They're pretty good. I like watching them.

[Britney Diva]

Actually this year Hull City will finished 5th.

[TakeWarning]

Spurs lose again.
****ing hell.

1 point out of 12, absolutely awful.

The thing that annoys me about Ramos, is that rather than improving players who have alot of potential like Lennon, Dawson, Huddlestone,(as someone like Moyes or O'Neill have done recently) he's just gone out and bought "better" players, which really hasn't paid off because there's little cohesion and understanding in the Spurs team.

Spurs to finish bottom half again.

[mph4ever]

spurs finish top 6, still.

villa could be top four

[TakeWarning]

Judging from what I've seen of Villa this season, they've got the defence to finish fifth comfortably, but whilst they're capable of thrashing lower-ranked teams, they'll struggle to get points off the top four.

[mph4ever]

ok, maybe top four is ambitious but i do think that if any of the the usual suspects falter then villa or everton will be there to take advantage. also, when they faltered recetnly there were few around to take advantage. this season slipping out of the top four could be a slippery slope to barely making the uefa cup with the likes of blackburn, boro, portsmouth and spurs hovering

edit: forgot ctieh in that last group!

[sgrevs]

I think Blackburn have looked pretty poor so far actually, though I quite like them. I predict Boro to finish top 6 with Villa.

[TakeWarning]

I don't think any team is good enough to break the top four this year.

Depends though, if Man City have a good start and then strengthen their squad over the summer they might just knock Liverpool or Arsenal off.

[Frankie]

I think Blackburn have looked pretty poor so far actually, though I quite like them. I predict Boro to finish top 6 with Villa.

It's mental to think that people reckon we'll finish top 6 when I think we might finish 10th.

Spurs to finish bottom half again.

Completely agree with you there, except I'm too ignorant to believe they'll finish bottom half yet :)

[RandyfromPennywise]

Can't see Boro finishing top 8. Sorry boys, I know this is the Boro thread, but I just can't see them finishing ahead of Pompey, Man City, Villa. If Everton get their act together, they should be in that group too.

[Frankie]

I'd like to see us finish top 8 like but we've had an excellent start so we just need to push on tbh.

[Pastorius]

It means that he is a better player, a better leader, a better person, a better man. Danny Guthrie is better than Gerrard.


But they play completely different positions :confused:

And Gerrard is a great leader, the amount of times he's pulled us out of trouble and roused the whole team is stupid

I don't really think you have a point here man

[RandyfromPennywise]

But they play completely different positions :confused:

Yeah, I was just being antagonistic. 'Cause I hate Liverpool.

[Britney Diva]

So apparently Guthrie actually broke Craig Fagan's leg- is there any reason why he's not getting a season-long ban? It's absolutely disgusting.

I can't see Boro topping 8th either. Everton are probably out of the Champions League race already, but I'd still have them favourites for 5th if they can get a handle on their defence, which was easily one of the best last year but seems to have collapsed this season.

[Pastorius]

It was an absolutely horrific challenge, I agree. Some sort of ban is definitely in order.

[Britney Diva]

John Terry's red card rescinded :angry:

[Pastorius]

Oh come on, that means the challenge wasn't even worth a yellow!

I hate John Terry.

[sgrevs]

It's mental to think that people reckon we'll finish top 6 when I think we might finish 10th.


I'm sort of just basing on the way you guys played against Liverpool - much better than us. I was extremely impressed by the attacking intent and fluid football. And Southgate got manager of the month for August.

So apparently Guthrie actually broke Craig Fagan's leg- is there any reason why he's not getting a season-long ban? It's absolutely disgusting.

Seriously, one of the most ridiculous tackles I've ever seen. What the hell was he thinking??

[Frankie]

Joey's been whispering in his ear.

He's still ****ing people up beyond the pitch !

[Pastorius]

I think Villa will claim 5th. I've just been impressed with the structure of their team, the way they connect, they just seem like a very solid team.

[Frankie]

Defensively they're excellent and going forward with the likes of Carew, Agbonlahor, Young they ain't bad either.

But we've got Wheater back for the game against the mackems so thats good. Him and either Huth or Poggy will be too much for Sunderland's forwards who all seem a bit lightweight. Good thing Kenwyne aint back yet as well.

I reckon we'll win it 2-0 with Alves and Stewie.

On our final placement well in the centre of midfield we've been lacking a bit (Appiah on a free transfer would please me immensely) but other than that we've got adequate cover all over the pitch (barring only probably Goalkeeper's ffs) so we could probably finish as high as 7th. Not within the top 6 tho'.

[Pastorius]

I considered us lucky to get a 2-1 win over Boro, the way we played and the way they played.

Remember that Frankie eh?

When you lost to us?

EH?

[Britney Diva]

Oh come on, that means the challenge wasn't even worth a yellow!

I hate John Terry.
It's just funny. John Terry gets sent off for a rugby tackle and gets his band overturned. Robbie Keane gets sent off for a "two-footed tackle" that even the other player admitted was completely fair, and the referee upholds the ban. It's farcical- they don't even follow their own rules when it doesn't suit them!

[Frankie]

I considered us lucky to get a 2-1 win over Boro, the way we played and the way they played.

Remember that Frankie eh?

When you lost to us?

EH?

Remember when I came to Bristol and gave you a bit of the ol' ground and pound :angry:

What's up with the boasting lately ey Pasta ? :upset:

[poorquality]

Did the beeb lie to me about a straight red not being able to be downgraded to a yellow therefor you have to prove a tackle didn't warrant a yellow?

Only thing I can think of as Terry got it overturned, and if that wasn't worth a yellow then what the **** is?

[Surtr]

I think Villa will claim 5th. I've just been impressed with the structure of their team, the way they connect, they just seem like a very solid team.

Villa are usually quite solid, but I'm putting my money on Everton. I like 'em better, just something about 'em.

[sgrevs]

Everton have looked pretty shaky so far though. But Cahill back now is a massive boost for them, the guy is class.

[TakeWarning]

Everton really should have strengthened their squad over the summer if they wanted to progress.

Shocking decision by the FA, the top four bias is ridiculous.

[Pastorius]

Remember when I came to Bristol and gave you a bit of the ol' ground and pound :angry:

[The_Passenger]

Everton really should have strengthened their squad over the summer if they wanted to progress.

Shocking decision by the FA, the top four bias is ridiculous.

I'm not sure what else the FA were meant to do with the way things are currently.

Terry was sent off for serious foul play. Looking at a FIFA website about this, it seems to suggest that applies purely to dangerous tackles, like an unreasonably high foot or lunging in. Terry's rugby tackle isn't really comparable. Therefore Terry was sent off for an offence he didn't commit and thus it's correct that his card was wiped off. Because you can't get a yellow card for serious foul play (as far as I'm aware) he should've got no card at all.

If he was going to be sent off it would be for denying a goalscoring oppurtunity. But then because Carvalho was covering it should've only been a yellow.

That said I think it's ridiculous. The laws of the game need to be changed so that professional fouls are straight red cards regardless of where they happen on the pitch and where other players are. They also need to change things so that red cards can be downgraded to yellows, which apprently is not allowed at present. They also need to adjust things so that if a player is carded for one offence but actually committed another card worthy offence then they can change what the card was issued for.

[RandyfromPennywise]

You're pretty spot-on Passenger. The laws of the game don't allow for any flexibility, and moreover, common-sense, on these issues.

[RandyfromPennywise]

So apparently Guthrie actually broke Craig Fagan's leg- is there any reason why he's not getting a season-long ban? It's absolutely disgusting.

It was a disgrace. If he plays before 2009, it'll be a joke. What's more, there are serious chances that he'll play again before Fagan does. Challenges like that make me so angry. I wish he'd get a 12-month ban, or 40 matches or something, but he won't.

[poorquality]

You're pretty spot-on Passenger. The laws of the game don't allow for any flexibility, and moreover, common-sense, on these issues.

Agree completely, which is why, from a lawful standing, the ban should of stood because of the fact Chelsea shouldn't be able to argue that it didn't warrant a card at all. But from a footballing standing it should be knocked down to a yellow, but they can't do that, I don't know what stops them, some force field or something apparently, a powerful footballing body can't fix their own rules for the sake of common-sense.

Plus, from a common-sense point of view, those sort of challenges SHOULD be a red card, simple as it's a deliberate move to stop the player in his tracks without making any attempt for the ball. Mis-timed tackles can result in a red card, going for the player and not the ball should be an instant red.

[Britney Diva]

mph, are you watching Pats vs. Hertha on Setanta at the moment? I know Hertha are kind of crap by German standards, but Pats are really mixing it with them, despite the fact that Hertha are the side with all the internationals. Fahey and Quigley look like they play against teams like this every week; they're superb.

If he was going to be sent off it would be for denying a goalscoring oppurtunity. But then because Carvalho was covering it should've only been a yellow.

I'm not entirely sure Carvalho would have made it; Jo was in full stride when Terry caught him and he is a pacy lad. Still, it would have been too close to make the "last man" call. Vidic's foul on Saturday was much more clear-cut.

[mph4ever]

i can't accept that they didn't feel terry's deserved even a yellow. typical fa climbing down to their egotistical national captains. they are a disgrace. nevermind, it won't remove the pain if slipping moscow.

with regard to the top teams. there are the top four but depending on who takes points off who then we may end up with a top two. after that i could see the lower two vying for champions league with teams like portsmouth, villa, spurs, everton, boro, blackburn and city because if they all get into a fight then who knows who will take points off who

I don't think any team is good enough to break the top four this year.

Depends though, if Man City have a good start and then strengthen their squad over the summer they might just knock Liverpool or Arsenal off.

over your summer!

I think Villa will claim 5th. I've just been impressed with the structure of their team, the way they connect, they just seem like a very solid team.

fergie said very recently that he really thought o'neill was doing an excellent job at villa, wouldn't at all be surprised if that is encour

I know Hertha are kind of crap by German standards, but Pats are really mixing it with them, despite the fact that Hertha are the side with all the internationals. Fahey and Quigley look like they play against teams like this every week; they're superb.

saw some of it and you are right. however, hertha seem to come out in the second half and are giving it some socks. 1-0 after 5 mins. pats just need to hang on for a little while. i hate ex liverpool players like voronin, just sayin'

[mph4ever]

pats have picked it up again, this could be interesting as long as they hold it like this for a while

[mph4ever]

fu'ckin ex scouse dirt, instrumental

[Pastorius]

Jealousy all round for the ex liverpool players

except guthrie

even though voronin is a pile of wank

[Britney Diva]

Ah, unlucky. They were a bit naive coming out in the second half- they needed somebody to put their foot on it and just ride out the first ten minutes. Your man Kaka looks like an absolute donkey in defence.

[mph4ever]

c'mon marseille, city of my forefathers, put the scum of merseyside to the sword

[Pastorius]

Never happening.

20 minutes until we smash them into the stands

8-1 anyone

[talk show host]

itv sure do love liverpool, don't they?

[RandyfromPennywise]

over your summer!


Your summers are like our winters.

SUPER FRANK on the spot yet again. Best midfielder in the world. No bias here.

[RandyfromPennywise]

Frank Lampard and Joe Cole score with headers. I'd have given you 300/1 before the game for that.

[Britney Diva]

Jesus, this Marseilles crowd are brutal at the back. Most needlessly conceded penalty ever.

[RandyfromPennywise]

Roma 1 Cluj 2 would you believe.

[mph4ever]

roma and psv, jaysus

[RandyfromPennywise]

Well, Atlético are pretty amazing nowadays, but yeah, you'd expect a bit more from PSV, but Dutch league ain't what it was 4 years ago, or 34 for that matter, and Cluj leading in Rome, that is massive.

[Britney Diva]

idk Roma have been overachieving for years now

also wtf are Cluj

[talk show host]

Reading winning 6-0 with just under half an hour left. Another Doyle hat-trick too :cool:

it's good to be winning some games again

[Britney Diva]

Another one? He was outstanding for Ireland last week as well- looks like the drop to the Championship might have been just what he needed to bring his game back up. That loss to Ipswich was unfortunate though.

Liverpool have come so close to blowing this Marseille result. I think Benitez is completely bonkers.

[talk show host]

Noel Hunt is on a hat-trick too.

though it sounds like he's just got injured.

[mph4ever]

lol at liverpool, looked like bunch of rabbits caught in the headlights, but a reult all the same

[Pastorius]

Could have closed that game off so much earlier. Still, a win's a win.

[The_Passenger]

Didn't see the Liverpool game but it they apparently just scraped it. If this is because Rafa told them to sit on their one goal lead, hasn't he learned anything from last season?

I expected Bordeaux to be a bit better than that, even though Chelsea weren't trying for 30+ minutes of the second half they still didn't look like scoring.

The Roma result is slightly surprising but they're not that great. The only players you ever hear about are the three local boys and Mexes and judging from their recent games against Manchester United they sturggle against well-organised defences. They're only where they are in Italian football because of Calciopoli and the fact that the people in charge of Milan are insane. Certainly makes that group more interesting in regards to 2nd place but if Chelsea got 18 points I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest.

Tomorrow I reckon Arsenal and Celtic will win but Man Utd will draw.

Also, first win of the season for Plymouth! Bout bloody time

[mph4ever]

i just love leverpool fans, alwasy looking on the bright side of life

points on the board, are points on the board. a good start but they really have to look at their performances soon.

[Pastorius]

We did totally sit on the 1 goal lead. Their defence was so open we should have pushed for another at the start of the second half.

Woeful defence against the through ball from Liverpool, pissed me off. Carragher had a good game to be fair, he's great.

Buuuuuuut finally getting some width, that's a big plus to be drawn!

[mph4ever]

yup, riera looks like hes adding something. jamie is a rock at the back

[Britney Diva]

Carragher is a great tackler but he has no pace and he's often caught out of position (aka the goal). Squirtel doesn't look the business and if Agger's not injured I don't see why he's not playing.

Marseille were just brutal. Elementary errors at almost every level. It says an awful lot that Cisse was willing to turn his back on Champions League action for Sunderland of all places.

[Pastorius]

Definitely looking forward to more games with Riera in the squad, maybe with Babel on the right, or alternating Babel and Riera, who knows.

Agger should definitely be back in the squad, I agree. I had him in my fantasy team in anticipation of this, but Benitez doesn't want to put him back there for some reason.

I don't think any defender in the world playing the offside trap could have used pace to stop that goal.

[Britney Diva]

I think Benitez is determined to replace all his good players with average ones and relegate them to the bench/reserves/selling them. I anticipate a move for Caleb Folan during the January window, at which point Torres will see out his contract in the reserves.

[Pastorius]

I mean he is coming off an injury, but it's been a long time, at least give him some time at the end of matches to get him into it quicker, he's such a good defender.

No Keane tonight, but he did work his socks off against Man Utd, so I guess he deserves a break. Good to see Kuyt going wide for a change.

A lack of someone taking responsibility for playing the final ball was something I saw tonight, no-one wanted to make the run or play the ball.

[Britney Diva]

Caleb Folan would've taken responsibility.

[badtaste]

Finally nice to see the widescreen being put to full use (with the English games at least).

Barca game was interesting. Catalans had quite a few chances, Messi was crazy as usual. Team is still a bit suss.

I guess you're being sarcastic, but, Romanian champions, and that.

Kashima Antlers 1 - 1 Adelaide United GET IN. Should've had it 0-1, Cornthwaite's ridiculous mis-kick leading to an own goal. But all is looking good for the return leg next wednesday night at Hindmarsh, we've got the away goal and weren't outclassed. Get in there United!

[Britney Diva]

Guthrie let off without even a citation; apparently the FA only pursues extra punishment in exceptional circumstances, like the Ben Thatcher challenge. Apparently footballers don't need their legs anymore.

The referee who sent Terry off has been demoted to a League Two match. Apparently the 'Respect Campaign' only applies to players.

[Pastorius]

Ridiculous, ridiculous, ridiculous.

[Happy]

That is pathetic.

He was demoted because he sent Terry off?

Wtf is wrong with the FA?

[mph4ever]

in this case i think we can conclude that terry as captain of england decided to flex his muscle and fergie reckons hackett had some input too

[mph4ever]

oh well, no midfiled but starting to look like a defense and attack again. drop hargreaves and scholes in there sunday and we should be fine

[Pastorius]

lulz I love whenever United don't win.

i love the fact that liverpool at one stage had evans and houllier as joint managers and then gave the job to houllier and big nose, the dope.

It's only a matter of time, Jamie Redknapp is literally on fire.

[mph4ever]

suppose, if he doesn't shut up soon then souness will belt him one

[Surtr]

Anyone else ****ing excited for the Motherwell v. AS Nancy match here in a bit? I've got class that cuts into the match about 20 minutes at the start but **** I'm pumped.

[Frankie]

I wish death upon Souness

That is all.

[Britney Diva]

Souness is great.

I read a whacked-out article a few days ago after Lampard's admittedly well-reasoned defence of Terry after his red card. It tipped him to follow in Jamie Redknapp's footsteps in becoming a football analyst. God help us all if Sky Sports manages to team up two plastic cockneys on one show.

[mph4ever]

and tongue tied joe cole at pitch side hahaha, that would be funny, the three fu'cking stooges

[RandyfromPennywise]

Ah yee coonts, better than having The Boy and Monkey Boy (also known as brother of Anton) pitch-side, INIT!

Haven't noticed if you lads talked about Zola's appointment in here, can't remember. Well, I must say, it will be good to be able to see the face of God every week.

[Surtr]

Ahh shite, Nancy 1 - 0 Motherwell. :(

I'd commentate more but I need to head off to class.

[mph4ever]

if there was a breeze at all for rio at pitch side it would be hilarious, that lip would be flapping all over the place

i reckon zola's appointment is fair business. bit of a risk but if he is half as intelligent as a manager as he was as a player then he will shine brightly. could very easily be a staging post for the chelsea position in the near future as i don't see scolari staying longer than three years, maybe even two, and thats with success, once the next world cup is over.

[RandyfromPennywise]

Oh my dear lord (who is Zola, so kind of a little, ah, what would you call this then? Not sure) if Franco is the gaffer at Chelsea I will lose my ****. But, with the demands on being a gaffer at Chelsea, not sure it would be the best thing, 'cause unless he brought immediate success, then he'd be gone. That really sucks, you know. We're like the Real Madrid of England at the moment. Let's hope it's a phase.

[mph4ever]

i hope its a phase. money brought the initial success but now they need a manager who will establish the club properly over time, maybe zola would be up to that in a few years after phil does his thing, maybe not. but the phase must end

[Pastorius]

Went down the pub to watch Spurs, looked like they deserved the win from what I saw.

[RandyfromPennywise]

i hope its a phase. money brought the initial success but now they need a manager who will establish the club properly over time, maybe zola would be up to that in a few years after phil does his thing, maybe not. but the phase must end

Yeah I hope you're right. I hope we win the Champions League with Phil, and a League or two. I'm not as certain as everyone else that he'll only be with us for two or three years at the most. Unless he's sacked, I don't see any reason why he couldn't stay for four or five years. He's about to turn 60, so he's still got good years ahead of him. And he seems to be enjoying it. But Zola as gaffer, to build a dynasty, that is the stuff of dreams. Di Matteo as assistant!! Bring back the glory days of 1997-98-99-2000!

[TakeWarning]

Went down the pub to watch Spurs, looked like they deserved the win from what I saw.

Really? From what I heard, and saw on the youtube, we were pretty awful.

[Pastorius]

I wasn't watching intently at all, but from what i saw Spurs were much more methodical and patient in the attack

[Britney Diva]

They're still an absolute basket case at the back but they were clearly the better side. At this rate, I still see them struggling against any team in the top 10. Frazier Campbell looked the business when he came on, but they're going to rely heavily on Darren Bent if they're going to progress in the UEFA Cup. Given that it's traditional for Spurs strikers to spend about 6 weeks on the sidelines with a major injury every season, I think they might struggle.

City looked woefully disorganised against the Cypriot side last night. They still could have scored 10 goals comfortably though.

[Pastorius]

How were Everton? They were on a different screen but I didn't see any of them.

[poorquality]

Everton showed good resiliance to come back after going a goal down twice, but they should have really had too much for the team they were playing, they just didn't perform to the expected level.

That's what I got out of what I've seen of the match, I watched the Spurs match though, I think he needs to start Campbell to be honest, he looked a different class when he came on and provided a perfect cross for Bents goal. Only trouble is do they want to rely on a striker that they won't have next season?

[RandyfromPennywise]

Cronaldo to reach Super Saiyan level 3; 2-1 Chelsea's way.

[808]

3-1 to Chelsea

This was my first guess but I don't know, United always find a way to come back and win it in the last minute. I don't think they will win against Chelsea but it'll be close 4 shore.

What do I know? I'm American!

I don't see why not. Pavlyuchenko might will take a while to settle in and isn't eligible in Europe until the knockout stages. Darren Bent's usually a decent goal threat but playing with him is like playing with 10 men sometimes. Plus it would be rude not to play Frazier Campbell as much as we can, since we're apparently Man U's feeder club.

In other news, my team got taught a lesson on how to play football today by Perth SC. 9-1. Ouch

[badtaste]

stoke city hahahahaha, didn't make enough mistakes for liverpool to score

robbie keane, weight of the world on his shoulders now

[Happy]

lol Boro.

Where's frankie?

[mph4ever]

oh dear, poor bolton

[Frankie]

Where's frankie?

crying into my pint getting taunted by one bloody mackem :(:(

[Britney Diva]

There there. At least you can both rejoice in the fact you'll both finish well about Newcastle!

Liverpool were shocking today. I know Stoke packed the defence, but how many shots did Keane and Torres have- one each? Alonso was useless: so much possession, yet he'd balloon the ball from 30 yards any time he got the chance.

[Pastorius]

Didn't see it.........thankfully.

[RandyfromPennywise]

Watched the first 20 minutes of Scouse and was bored, so flicked over to West Ham v Geordies. Zola off to a good start. Reckon he'll be a hit to be fair. How terrible did those patches with the players' numbers on the middle of the shirts look?! They should've just used the numbers they use for the shorts, white ones, and put them over the top of the patch they had there last week. But seriously, how long does it take to get some new kits made up with a sponsor on them?

[Pastorius]

From what I saw on MOTD it was all Liverpool, 18 shots, 0 goals. That's unacceptable.

But that Gerrard goal should have been allowed.

[808]

Why wasn't it counted?

[Pastorius]

Ref disallowed it, didn't say why I don't think.

[Britney Diva]

There were 2 players offside when the ball was played.

[TakeWarning]

God Stoke play horrible football, turned off at half time.

Robbie Keane for 20mil = rofl.

[mph4ever]

20 million, imagine having stoke supporters shouting "what a waste of money"

20 million would buy stoke, not just the football club but the whole city

[TakeWarning]

Anyone know a good site where I can stream Tottenham v Wigan later today?

[sgrevs]

Pretty embarrassed about the Liverpool result, we can't really call ourselves title-challengers after a performance like that. And Jesus Christ, Rory Delap's throw-ins are like bullets. It's ****ing mental.

Pumped for Chels v Manu tonight, gonna be a cracker.

[talk show host]

Reading's opener, which has been officially recorded as an own goal by Eustace, will go down as one of the strangest goals ever.

Stephen Hunt whipped in a corner which was contested by Noel Hunt and Eustace at the near post.

The ball bounced over the line - four yards wide of the goal - before being hooked back into play by Noel Hunt.

Reading's Andre Bikey headed back towards goal, where keeper Scott Loach made a save, but the linesman had already flagged - for a goal.

And referee Stuart Attwell gave the goal to total bemusement around the stadium.

I wish i'd seen this. Reading can't seem to play away at the moment so i'll take any luck but that really sounds shocking.

[Pastorius]

There were 2 players offside when the ball was played.

There was one player with like half an arm offside, I don't see how the ref could have called it confidently. The ref called it, not the linesman (the linesman was in the wrong position to call it too but that doesn't matter).

[mph4ever]

Keane and I think Torres too were offside. They definitely had an effect on the goalkeeper because they both ended up between him and the ball, so it was a perfectly good decision. The linesman was looking right across so I don't see how he was in the wrong position.

Decent first half from United. Scoring the goal seems to have shocked us back into sitting back like we did against Liverpool, which is kind of a worry. You'd think the champions of Europe would have a little more self-confidence than they're showing. Also, Ferdinand is probably playing better than I've ever seen him before. I didn't know he had it in him!

Doesn't include the analysis afterwards where they showed a 3D view of the pitch. Linesman's view was completely blocked, and only Keane's forearm was anywhere in front of the last defender.

[mph4ever]

chelsea deserve some credit for holding it together given what they have lost. two top teams could do with two top goalkeepers. can't wait for drogba to come on and see what happens if chelsea go back to their traditional long ball game.

[Pastorius]

Yeah I want to see what Drogba does to this game too, he should stick to Jonny Evans like glue.

[Britney Diva]

Doesn't include the analysis afterwards where they showed a 3D view of the pitch. Linesman's view was completely blocked, and only Keane's forearm was anywhere in front of the last defender.
I watched analysis on a different station and they showed pretty clearly that there were 2 players ahead of the defenders when the ball was kicked. It was just poor positioning by Keane and Torres- they had no reason to be there.

We were lucky to come out with a draw in the end, though I'm sure Chelsea will consider themselves fortunate that we gave them a free goal. We did exactly what we did against Liverpool and put 9 men behind the ball and for the second time in 2 weeks a goalkeeping howler threw us right in it.

Referee was absolutely atrocious. United will get cited before the disciplinary panel for getting 7 yellow cards. Did anybody see a malicious tackle from either team in that match? Did either side crowd around the referee and protest? It's ridiculous.

[mph4ever]

fair result given that chelsea have the momentum. it all looks good for us going forward.

[Happy]

Looks like Spurs are heading for another great result.

[TakeWarning]

Can't even beat ****ing Wigan at home

What the ****, this is depressing

[Happy]

Ugh, this is awful, even Newcastle are doing better!
:(

[Britney Diva]

Wigan aren't looking too bad this season, actually. Not enough to stop me renewing my annual wish for them to get relegated though.

City smash 6 past Portsmouth with 6 different scorers. Second tanking Portsmouth have taken this season!

[Frankie]

Heskey will leave wigan in January apparently.

I think wigan and stoke could go down this season. Hopefully with newcastle.

[The_Passenger]

How the hell did Ronaldo not get a card for his dive? It was the most obvious one I've seen for ages. Maybe the referee was making up for the fact that he booked 7 United players when only 3 deserved it from what I recall.

Couldn't believe the City-Portsmouth score when I saw it. The inconsistecy of almost every team in the league borders on incredible.

I see Spurs failed to win again, really surprised to see them bottom, although after their toothless performance against Villa I really shouldn't be. Loads of possession but they do nothing with it (like WBA judging by today's game).

[808]

Hopefully they are relegated.

[Frankie]

Spurs are too good to be relegated.

Newcastle on the other hand.....

[RandyfromPennywise]

Ronaldo is still a diving, whinging little cunt. Was very happy to see him get booked. Just play the game you ****ing ****head.

Berbatov has been given the three bonus points from tonight's game in the Premier League's fantasy football competition that most of us play. That, my friends, is as baffling as the Reading goal.

[mph4ever]

united, for a team that isn't supposed to be doing too well, made chelsea look rather ordinary today. liverpool proved that last week was a fluke. arsenal don't look like they have the stamina although i wouldn't be surprised i that improves when they have some other players back. everton, portsmouth, spurs, boro are all having shockers.

all in all, looks like more of the same, not a weekend to read anything out of

and ronaldo was getting out of the way of what would have been a career threatening challenge, if you didn't notice :rolleyes:

[RandyfromPennywise]

Pretty sure that if United made Chelsea look ordinary, then Chelsea returned the favour.

And anyone not condemning diving or simulation of any sort : :rolleyes: Lampard took Ronaldo's ridiculous, disgusting dive pretty well I thought. Really, I know I'm going over the top, but what a ****ing cunt that wankish Portugeeser is.

[mph4ever]

no, you are not going over the top. you are right. ref bought it, blame him. i thought ballack saved gary neville from getting sent off which was admirable

and manu have not really got their team gooing for this year yet. everyone expected chelsea to turn us given how we have started. thats the two toughest games of the season out of the way for us, not bad with only four games in

[RandyfromPennywise]

no, you are not going over the top. you are right. ref bought it, blame him.

The ref shouldn't have to be to blame: players should have some integrity and not dive in the first place.

And yeah, Neville could've easily been off if Bally made something of it.

[Britney Diva]

Neville is a stick. I wish he'd just hurry up and retire. The man's been a defender at the top level for about 50 years and he still hasn't managed to display even the slightest qualification for the job. Wes Brown can barely kick a football straight, but I'd pick him over Neville any day.

how dare you compare yourself to stoke

pitiful finishing tbh from liverpool even if we did dominate the game

[Britney Diva]

don't you mean pitiful finishing from alonso

nobody else had any shots!

!!

[Pastorius]

you were watching a different game, loads of people had shots

[Britney Diva]

yeah you're right

dave kitson had a couple

[mph4ever]

The ref shouldn't have to be to blame: players should have some integrity and not dive in the first place.

And yeah, Neville could've easily been off if Bally made something of it.

lots of players have plenty of integrity, its just part of their game to wind other people up. it would be boring without the like of drogba, joe cole, ashley cole and the like

Neville is a stick. .

retire would be great. ferguson on one of these "repay the lads". neville lifting the premiership crown one last time or so to equal or beat liverpool's record, that would be adequate reward for someone who hates the scouse scum. at the same time he might just lose the premiership if he continues to play him


how dare you compare yourself to stoke


the great jimmy greenhoff played for both, and denied liverpool their shot at the treble when we won the fa cup in '77

[Pastorius]

If Liverpool keep drawing against sides like Stoke, it's gonna the same story as last year.

I will moan about Spurs in here every day until we win a Premiership match.

well, not really. we are 15th afterall :amaze:

If by ok you mean, we'll comfortably escape releation, then you're probably right. But we were all hoping to make Europe this season, and look to break the top next season (well I was anyway).

That's what I was expecting too, after hearing what Ramos has done with other clubs and after winning the Carling Cup.

it's a sweet sight

[mph4ever]

don't get too dizzy up there!

you know i can always stay grounded by looking at bottom 6 teams like man united

[mph4ever]

you can probably spot stoke down here with us in the distance too

[Pastorius]

yeah i see stoke, they're 3 places below the team we hammered

mam united or something i dunno i don't pay attention to nobodies

[mph4ever]

kekekekekekeke

you hammered stoke also, its just they didn't make enough mistakes for you to score

"I've got so much respect for him. I'm not licking his bum, I'm just saying everyone knows he's a model pro" - West Ham striker Carlton Cole on new boss and former Chelsea team-mate Gianfranco Zola.

[Pastorius]

Gotta love the little man.

tell you who did make a mistake, the ref, disallowing our goal

[Britney Diva]

I dunno, if it was up to me all Liverpool goals would be disallowed just for a laugh.

Mike Ashley has been contacted by a consortium of Nigerian business offering hundreds of millions of pounds. I think I got that email too!

[Pastorius]

i need a football club to buy to access the billions of pounds i am entitled to

otherwise the nigerian government will seize the money

everyone who hates the scouse, up yours

[RandyfromPennywise]

Correct.

Zola is the best legend ever.

(I'm not even limiting this to players, or to people involved with football. I'm saying that he is the biggest legend, ever. (In the history of the world.))

[talk show host]

eh, carling cup's overrated anyway

Jesus, I don't think you'll be letting Lita take any more penalties. That was comical!

[Pastorius]

any footage?

i just saw the tackle on tv and it was very poor. same time, thats football for you. not sure why he did it

Poggy's a legend mate

Bad challenge, but well I laughed.

Also tbh Poggy apologized AND he went for the ball. Not malicious or owt and he's infact a really nice lad.

[RandyfromPennywise]

Frankinho, he has a history of shocking tackles to be fair. Players have every right to feel they are putting their bodies at risk playing against him. But the big question is: why did he do it to Possebon when Ronaldo was on the pitch?!

ADELAIDE UNITED defeated Kashima Antlers 1-0 and 2-1 on aggregate tonight in front of a capacity crowd at Hindmarsh Stadium! GET IN! Was the best game I've been to in Adelaide, people sitting in the aisles, it was that packed out. We were all over them. Now we get Rivaldo in Adelaide in two weeks' time!! COME ON YOU REDS! Semi-finals of the Asian Champions League GET IN THERE!

Zico and Rivaldo will surely be no match for Aurelio Vidmar and Travis Dodd.

[Britney Diva]

Also tbh Poggy apologized AND he went for the ball. Not malicious or owt and he's infact a really nice lad.
WHICH ball? It was an absolutely shocking tackle- there is absolutely no excuse for following through with your studs at knee-height. Granted, he got some of the ball, but it's the kind of tackle that ends careers and "he was going for the ball" doesn't really cut it.

Was a bit bad I admit but I've seen far far far worse and more malicious. Fact is poggy won the ball, he caught the lad accidentally. Fair crack he should be banned for the usual 3 games and thats it.

Like I said he's a good bloke just a bit over eager when he plays.

We rape you in the league

nowhere else tbh

[mph4ever]

one of the tough ones fo us alright

[RandyfromPennywise]

Frankie I have to say you are being biased towards your own. We all do it, fk I'm one of the worst, but yeah, Poggie should be out for half-a-dozen matches at an absolute minimum.

I will say it again becuase it seems that most of you have missed it:

Adelaide United FC 1 - 0 Kashima Antlers
Quarter-final, Asian Champions League, 2nd leg, 2-1 on aggregate, we are through to the last 4 of Asia, we are champions. Now we are playing Kuruvchi managed by Zico with Rivaldo in their team. GET EXCITED PEOPLE.

[Frankie]

Good news for your team their tommy lad.

And I am slightly being biased but I honestly didnt think it was THAT bad. I didn't see the same uproar over Guthrie's 'challenge' the other weekend and that was much, much, mcuh worse.

[Illmatic]

Well at least he's not walking the streets of Tottenham or he'd really be dead!

[mph4ever]

nothing worse than a lone russian hanging around seven sisters corner late at night

[RandyfromPennywise]

The only reason I find Pavlyuchenko's remarks surprising is that he has played under Guus Hiddink for two years, and as coach of Australia, Hiddink's trainings were infamous. His physical preparation was second to none.

Guthrie's was a fkn joke too, I said so here, as did others. And Kevin Davies on Clichy was a disgrace as well.

[TakeWarning]

Rivaldo playing in Adelaide hey? When's that then?

Would like to see him play, the best player I've ever seen in the flesh is Archie Thompson unfortuantely.

It's really good for the Adelaide boys to get that far. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the Victory. Twats.

Now you have a real chance. I predict a Adelaide - Urawa Reds final.

Hard to say who would win.

[RandyfromPennywise]

Rivaldo playing in Adelaide hey? When's that then?

October 8. Seven thousand tickets sold already, so it will probably sell out tomorrow or next week I'd say, pretty crazy. Gotta get in to town to get my ticket tomorrow!

Archie Thompson cannot be the best player you've seen in the flesh. Who have you seen Melbourne play??

It's really good for the Adelaide boys to get that far. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the Victory. Twats.

Now you have a real chance. I predict a Adelaide - Urawa Reds final.

Yeah it's massive. But I have to say that these Uzbekis are going to be awesome. They have ZICO coaching them, and a team with Rivaldo, and a full international player for Chilé - Villaneuva. Bunyodkor also have several full internationals for the Uzbekistan team. They will be formidable opposition. We must get an advantage at Hindmarsh in the first leg. Can't wait!

As for Urawa, they are probably the Asian powerhouse, if for nothing else than their amazing support.

[Happy]

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/article1730026.ece

wtf

For some reason I found that really funny.

[ThrashMaster27]

Suprisingly, I'm still optimistic as a Spurs fan.

Pav has got his first goal, hopefully he won't be another Rebrov, we're through to the next round of the Silver medal trophy, Bent is scoring at a rate of 1 every 2 games and we have Portsmouth this weekend. Easy 3 points ahead :D

After that it's straight sailing. I predict 6th-7th in the league, League Cup winners and UEFA Cup Winners. Is that asking for too much?

[Happy]

UEFA cup? Keep dreaming. Porstmouth may look easy but I still think we'll struggle.

[The_Passenger]

At least Pavlyuchenko's comments show that Spurs' training has moved up a notch. They actually do some running now!

[Happy]

lol
It actually involves footballs now.

[TakeWarning]

Yeah but how's that working out? Other than the Carling Cup, dreadfully.

[The_Passenger]

lol, has anyone seen that the UEFA Cup's name is being changed to the UEFA Europa League? This has to be a desperate attempt to boost TV ratings.

What would be more effective would be to do what the UEFA Champions League says on the tin and go back to having UEFA Cup places for the teams that finish 2nd to 4th (bring back the Cup Winner's Cup as well).

[Pastorius]

Hey but people aren't going to like when that happens and Liverpool are the only English side in the Champion's League

[The_Passenger]

Well maybe newcastle but they're easy targets anyway.

[talk show host]

'Uefa Europa League' sounds pretty silly when said out loud.

[Britney Diva]

Apparently Martin O'Neill has been at Reading's last 2 matches to look at Doyle.

Also Joe Kinnear is a good manager, an especially smart choice given that Terry Venables was being rumoured yesterday- THAT would have ended in tears.

[talk show host]

Looks like it'll be the same old come January then. Sunderland and Everton sniffing around Hunt again too, apparently. I wish everyone would just bugger off.

[Britney Diva]

At least you still have Bikey!

seriously. They were both brilliant again today, can't afford to lose them. Another 2 goals from Doyle and by all accounts Hunt ran the show.

just sort out the away form and we're cruising.

[pppoe]

Eh, I guess Arsenal won't be back at the top of the table.

[talk show host]

Geovanni's goal was a bit special

-----------------Gomes-------------------
Corluka--Woodgate--Dawson--Assou-Ekotto
Bentley--Zokora--Jenas--O'Hara--Gilberto--

I think we may be on the end of a thrashing to be honest

[badtaste]

Not quite.

Early days, but I will lol big time if the Spurs get relegated.
