[Rob]

[Danny Electric]

I'm at work till half 5, fucking selfrdiges.

[Rob]

You work in the Oxford St one?

[Danny Electric]

No, I work at the one in Birmingham.
The one in Oxford St. is so much nicer.

[Rob]

Good job I go to Birmingham a lot then. I'll ponce discount later :D Need it since I got a baby on the way.

[Danny Electric]

I work in the Topman section, I can get you a Topman discount lol

[Rob]

They sell beer in there right?

[Danny Electric]

Yeah, their's a bar on the top floor which overlooks Birmingham.

[XL]

Yeah, their's a bar on the top floor which overlooks Birmingham.
Dude it's THERE, not their!!!!!!!!!:p

Don't know why your bothered bout missing the game tomorrow, I could understand if you were a real fan, but you're not!

Besides if its anything like the Pool/Man Utd match it'll suck!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Congrats to Luke Moore, boy done good for us today, shame he'll be at Boro next season....after all 'They have more ambition!'


*pun intended

[Rob]

That match ruled. Well the last 90 seconds did :D

[Danny Electric]

That match fucking sucked.
Oh and Lee good result today.
Come back cos i have no friends.

[Danny Electric]

Yeah joey barton is a cock for wanting to go to boro'.
Wait, he's a cock anyway.

[Rob]

He doesn't want to go to Boro really does he?

[Danny Electric]

He was just ill advised i think.

[Mike the Metal Ed]

Apparently Ian Holloway is gonna be the new Leicester manager.

Personally, I'll be glad to see the back of him at QPR. He did really well but he has taken them as far as he can and it's time for a new face.
With the results Rob Kelly's been getting, I really can't see why we can't stick with him until the end of the season. It's the first mention I've heard of Holloway, however. You've been talking to your sport-fixing "contacts" like the Royal Rumble haven't you. :shifty:

[Wengerland]

Fuck Holloway, i'm not getting a season ticket next year if he gets the job. His QPR side play the worst football imaginable and resort to, well not play-acting, but they certainly milk any challenges.

I suppose it was just in the News of The World though, but with them getting all the big names it must be true.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

He was just ill advised i think.

Willie Mackay is a tosser :mad:

[Rob Ban Fan]

I suppose it was just in the News of The World though, but with them getting all the big names it must be true.

He doesn't want to go to Boro really does he?
Everybody wants to go to Boro! They have AMBITION

[Rob Ban Fan]

<font color="#ff6600">Yakubu wanted to go to Boro because he wanted a crack at Europe with a big club.

FACT</font>

[Ogen]

So did half the fucking Villa squad silly cunts

[Rob]

Well I hear Euro Disney is great in the summer.

[BCWWF]

Chelsea wins

[Ogen]

Shit match Liverpool fucking idiots going with Crouch on his own he can't bloody play it on his own he needs someone with him. Reina basically begging for his red card too

[Rob]

Begging for a red card? As much as I hate Liverpool, that was bollocks. Robben should be banned for that play acting. Chelsea are all mouth when they think they are hard done by when he gets a justified second booking against Sunderland so how can they possibly defend that? And if Reina had to go for a straight red then so did William Gallas and probably Del Horno or Terry too.

[Cactus Sid]

We'll be lucky to do anything this season the way things have started going. We just can't finish, and if we dont do anything about it in the summer, we aren't gonna be any closer to Chelsea come the end of next season. 2nd is still a possibility, but we've gotta play Arsenal twice, and they'll be bang up for it against us.

I can't help but feel we should've gone with Crouch and Morientes. Granted, Crouch was abysmal, but he was causing havoc just by being there, if we'd had Nando on the pitch we might've knocked in a few of those set pieces.

As it stands, Chelsea deserved to win for the second half performance. We were always gonna get caught eventually, playing the offside, and Crespos goal was an absolute peach.

As for the Red Card.... it wont get taken away. He's raised his hands and Robben has made a complete twat of himself, but thats the way it goes in football....how many times have we seen it?

On the plus side, it gets Reina out of goal. Its amazing anyone could think he was half decent. He can't catch crosses, he drops shots from close range, he doesn't organise the defence from set-pieces and he saves all his shots with his legs. Dudek might not be great, but he's far better than Reina.

[packt up]

I went to the Birmingham Selfridges coincedently instead of watching the match. Their duck spring rolls sure are yummy. Heard it was pritty crap anyway. Robben looked like a dickhead but Reina is the bigger douche cos you got to expect to be sent off doing something like that.

[Ogen]

If your thick enough to go grabbing at someones face you should go it wouldn't take a genius to think that he'll drop like a stone

[Rob]

Personally, I think he should have went after Robben and give him something to cry about.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Rafael Benitez has revealed his admiration for Charlton boss Alan Curbishley as the race to be the new England manager hots up.

But the Liverpool boss, whose side face Charlton at The Valley on Wednesday, is concerned that the debate over Sven-Goran Eriksson's successor could disrupt the build up to the World Cup finals.

As Benitez praised Curbishley he pointedly referred to "other managers who promoted themselves,'' a possible reference to Bolton's Sam Allardyce, a manager whose style of play Benitez has criticised in the past.

Go on Rafa :love:

Gardening Leave...</td><td> </td><td valign="top">Holloway Relieved of Duty

By Gary Silke
Date: 6/2/2006

Speculation linking QPR boss Ian Holloway with the vacant Leicester manager's job has heightened with chairman Gianni Paladini announcing that he had been sent on 'gardening leave' with immediate effect.</td></tr></tbody></table>
Paladini told the official website: "QPR has not sacked Ian but we are concerned about recent performances and the effect the speculation about Ian joining Leicester might have on the players. I hope we can sort something out with Ian as soon as possible."
This may not be cut and dried, with Rangers fans theorising that Paladini has used the Leicester speculation to get rid of a manager he no longer wants.
City responded with the comment: "The process of finding a new manager is still taking place and we won't be commenting on speculation. There is no timescale for when we will appoint a new manager."

There will be plenty for Holloway to do in the garden at this time of year; these are the Royal Horticultural Society's recommendations:
1. Prepare vegetable seed beds, and sow some vegetables under cover
2. Chit potato tubers
3. Protect blossom on apricots, nectarines and peaches
4. Net fruit and vegetable crops to keep the birds off
5. Prune winter-flowering shrubs that have finished flowering
6. Divide bulbs such as snowdrops, and plant those that need planting 'in the green'
7. Prune Wisteria
8. Prune hardy evergreen hedges, and renovate overgrown deciduous hedges
9. Prune conservatory climbers
10. Cut back deciduous grasses left uncut over the winter.

:cool:

[Rob]

QPR are badly in need of a change of manager anyway.

[Wengerland]

Exactly, if we're going to poach someone at least make it someone who's doing a good job and the clubs fans will actually care about him going.

I don't think we'll get him anyway, Mike Newell's having a second interview and he's the man for me. There's been a load of e-mails to the chief executive pleading against appointing Holloway, and he did say the number he got wanting Levein out made a difference in that decision.

[Russenmafia]

QPR are badly in need of a change of manager anyway.

Let them take Alex McLeish off Rangers then. Beaten 2-0 off Aberdeen tonight, I can't take any more of this shite from my team.

Coventry is a fucking dump its true.

[Wengerland]

Fucksake, Newell's turned us down.

Although when i think about it i probably went overboard on the Holloway thing, i mean he's made QPR a decent club in this league i suppose, we played hoofball under Adams but we don't have any tall strikers now anyway, so Holloway will have to be a bit dense to play too many long balls. I'll also retract about not getting a season ticket if he gets the job, because i want one anyway :$

[Rob]

:lol: quality

[Rob]

Let them take Alex McLeish off Rangers then. Beaten 2-0 off Aberdeen tonight, I can't take any more of this shite from my team.

[Rob Ban Fan]

<font color="#ff6600">the best part of today's game was the fans singing "Gary O'Neil - Centre Midfield" only for 5 minutes later, Redknapp to finally make a substitution to move him into his right position.

Next time we just need to sing "Priske at right back. Ashdown in goal. Toddy upfront." and we might play alright.</font>

[Mr. Monday Morning]

If we tried a song like that it would take half an hour

[toxic rooster]

Sensational, we've beat all the big 3 now :heart:

But it may have saved McClaren's job:(

[Mike the Metal Ed]

2nd year in a row I travel to Brighton to see a not very good performance from City, at least we won this time. First 5 minutes we were on fire, then we slowly started fading out of it, and the 2nd half was unbearable to watch, especially Rab Douglas flapping at everything that came his way. Also, Momo Sylla is still a lazy fuck.

[packt up]

WOOOO Ameobi > Baros

EH OGEN?

[Rob]

Sensational, we've beat all the big 3 now :heart:

But it may have saved McClaren's job:(

Or maybe that 4 year contract he signed like 2 weeks ago saved it?

[toxic rooster]

Contracts aren't worth the paper they're printed on :o

Except, of course, for the thousands and thousands of pounds they get paid every week.

[Rob]

They are when you are the chairman and have to pay it off and then sign another manager to another contract for just as much money.

[Mike the Metal Ed]

Wondering if anyone has sent money to the Rotherham United supporters trust. In case you don't know, Rotherham are in danger of dropping out of the Football League if they don't raise £1,000,000 in a few weeks. Since I'd hate any fans to lose their team to the business side of football (something that worried me quite a bit in 2003), I thought I'd post the link here for anyone who wishes to donate to help keep the club afloat.

Kinda sick of hearing about him. Chelsea should either give us £10 million now or shut the fuck up and let him play for us without hassle.

[Karlsberg]

Well we got West Ham away tonight and were missing Heskey, DJ, Upson and Cunningham so I am fearing the worst.

[Ogen]

Blue noses looking fucking shite

[Karlsberg]

not really much else i can add to that one Ogen we did look fucking shite. Thank god its the cup next weekend and i can forget about the league for awhile.

[Ogen]

Yeah cup is good no more sitting about not really being bothered too much if we win or lose since well no matter what we'll be safe and not challenguing for anything

[Mike the Metal Ed]

James Wesolowski has broken his leg again and is out for the season. :(

Not surprised someone got injured though, Brighton are a really dirty team, going in hard on better players (Hume got felled about 3 times in a few minutes without a card being shown), but dropping like flies at the nearest hint of a free kick. I really hope he's not injury prone, as we'll need him when Joey leaves. You gotta wonder how any player can come back fit from two broken legs in one season though.

[Rob Ban Fan]

<font color="#ff6600">Steve Stone broke his leg like 3 times. Legend.

Probably not the best example cos old Stoney was quite injury prone but in fairness I think it was more to do with his hamstrings than effects of the leg breaks.

So in conclusion i love Steve Stone :(</font>

Well in fairness to McCarthy noone would save them so they'll be looking to next year and hes done well down there once for them

[Ogen]

Still a shit manager though

Word to that Boondock. Blackburn probably the most hated "not good" team I would reckon.

[JT1]

well it's turning into a fine season for us gooners this year..team has gone into self destruct, henry and cole are off in the summer and we're playing REal Madrid in the Bernebau on tuesday.

oh joy!

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Should still be a hot game

[Rob Ban Fan]

<Font color="#ff6600">Real could have more Englishmen in their line up than Arsenal :$</font>

[JT1]

they probably will as Cole is the only one englishman likely to start for us! though walcott is rumoured to be involved...talk about a big debut!

[Ogen]

Is Walcot even registered for the Champions Leauge?

[JT1]

yep as is diaby but adebayour is cup-tied...that's according to the club site.

[Boondock Saint]

So no Blackburn then? Hmm...what about Arsenal?

[Mr. Monday Morning]

If Arsenal get fit in time they're playing Real Madrid on Tuesday or Wednesday, you should be able to get a feed of that in the US someplace or else download it, it should be a good game. Same for Chelsea - Barcelona...Barcelona are arguably the best team to watch in the world right now.

[LK]

So no Blackburn then? Hmm...what about Arsenal?
Nah mate go for Blackburn. A dirty team, but they know it and don't deny it. Arsenal are a team of pussies so steer clear of them.

[JT1]

So no Blackburn then? Hmm...what about Arsenal?

you're about 2 seasons too late to see us at our best. go for an underdog like wigan who are having a fantastic season in the top flight after being promoted last year

RAFA RAFAEL RAFA RAFAEL RAFA RAFAEL RAFAEL BENITEZ

Fucking fantastic for 90 minutes, by far the better side, United were absolute shite, they did nothing. Carragher, Hamann and Sissoko were absolutely immense today, brilliant, love it, excellent.

Couple of things to say, firstly, Garcia should've been booked for that gesture, its bang out of order trying to get players sent off, and he should've got carded for it.

Motty..... ok, Lawrenson is a Liverpool fan. He used to play for Liverpool, its to be expected. Motty just creams himself everytime Ronaldo or Rooney touches the ball. He is so past it as a commentator, the sooner he fucks off the better

I'm really interested to see what action is taken after the pie throw.... that was a really dangerous one.

As for Alan Smith, feel for the guy cos that looked nasty. Could be his leg and his ankle from the looks of things, maybe his knee as well, everything just seem to fall underneath him, that wasn't good.

[Paranoid Rattlesnake]

Alan Smith has broken his leg, Just confirmed on sky sports. Doctor stated it i the worst break he has ever seen

That'll be the end of his career no doubt about it and it doesn't matter what you think of the guy or the club that he plays for it's a massive shame and my thoughts go out to the guy.

Hope he comes through it

[El Capitano Gatisto]

Dislocated ankle as well apparently. Wouldn't be surprised if he fucked his knee too. Awful looking tumble.

[Cactus Sid]

Yeah from what I've read its a broken left leg and a dislocated ankle, hope to God its no worse and its sortable, I might not like the guy or United, but that was fucking horrific

[packt up]

Wow his leg looked totally wrong :$ :( I don't like the guy but you never ever want to see that and I totally felt bad for him. Hope he recovers.

As for the game Liverpool totally deserved it in a rather dull but interesting game - Man U didn't offer too much really.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

If something like that happened to Didier Drogba, I'd probably be alright with it.

[Rob Ban Fan]

If something like that happened to Didier Drogba, I'd probably be alright with it.

<font color="#ff6600">Yeah see, its a shame that stuff like that happens to people like Alan Smith but cunts like El Hadji Diouf will probably make it through their careers without serious injury. THERE IS NO JUSTICE.

Yeah see, its a shame that stuff like that happens to people like Alan Smith but cunts like El Hadji Diouf will probably make it through their careers without serious injury. THERE IS NO JUSTICE.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson expects Alan Smith to be out for a long time after he suffered a horrific leg break against Liverpool.

Smith collapsed in agony after he tried to block a John Arne Riise free-kick in United's 1-0 defeat in the FA Cup.
A grim-faced Ferguson said: "It's one of the worst I've seen. He's broken his leg and there's a dislocation of the ankle joint.
"It's a very long-term injury - we're all behind him as he's a brave lad." <!-- E SF -->The game was delayed by five minutes as Smith received treatment and he needed oxygen as he was stretchered off.


United's medical team were given help by Liverpool club doctor Mark Waller as the midfielder waited to be carried off.
Ferguson added: "I wasn't aware of what had happened because I was following the path of the ball, but you saw the reaction of the players round about Alan and you knew it was a bad one.
"It is another bad blow for us and it sums up our season."
Ferguson's counterpart Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez was quick to offer his sympathy to Smith. "We're all so sorry and we can only wish him all the best for the future."<!-- E BO -->

[packt up]

Wow we were looking shite.

Then N'Zogbia picked up the pace and Dyer slots it in.

Nothing like papering over the cracks :cool:

[Rob]

Didn't see the match cos I was playing myself but I'm absolutely fucking gutted for Alan Smith. He is a stand up guy (well when I met him when he was still at Leeds he was) and always gave everything he had. If Ole can come back though, I'm praying he can too.

[Rob Ban Fan]

<font color="#ff6600">Solskjaer didn't have to come back from a broken leg, dislocated ankle and knee ligament damage though :$</font>

[LK]

Best of luck to Smith for his recovery.

As for the game it was fucking rubbish. My faith in football has taken a real pounding today.

[toxic rooster]

I'm pretty glad I looked away as that happened :$

[Wengerland]

We are so much better under Rob Kelly it's untrue, superb on Tuesday against the sheep and the spirit shown yesterday was like the O'Neill days :'(

Quality atmosphere at both games too, Leeds bought loads and were loud in the first half but went quiet when they realised they were offering nothing against 10 men.

[Rob Ban Fan]

<font color="#ff6600">Mido is well a diving little arab bastard. I hate him so much.

I hope when Spurs play Bolton next, him and Diouf run into eachother and explode.</font>

[Ogen]

Jesus we're just depressing to watch fecking awful today

[packt up]

Yeah Ogen you were absolutely terrible today. Shold have been about 6-0. Good take by Baros though.

[Cactus Sid]

Great finish that from Baros, totally undeserved mind

City were quality today and Villa were just woeful, would rather not draw City in the next round unless it was Anfield.

All Premiership teams in the Quarter-Finals. I'd fancy us to beat any of them at home, so I'm kinda hoping for Chelsea. We gotta play them sometime, may as well be now.

[Cactus Sid]

Charlton vs Middlesbrough

Aston Villa/Man City vs Bolton/West Ham

Chelsea vs Newcastle United

Birmingham vs Liverpool


Excellent draw for us

[packt up]

LAME

Oh well trophyless again.

[Ogen]

If we get by City which we won't if we play like that again then its the best draw there really apart from Boro

<font color="#ff6600">I dunno if anyone else saw the story in the News of the World on sunday. Theres another player involved but i dunno who he is.

The story was a bit much, even for the News of the World. They kept using words like "sick" and "perverted". Hardly encouraging tolerance :|

The News of the World quite clearly don't want England to have a chance at the World Cup this summer. No other country's media would try and destablize their national team like they have done. First all that shite with Sven, now outing players. Scum paper.</font>

[Mr. Monday Morning]

And right after Spurs told the fans to stop the gay chants. Oh deary me.

Who's the one on the left btw? Or is that the other player you dunno :$

[Rob]

The bloke on the left is some DJ.

As for the media fucking up England's world cup chances, don't blame them, blame the players. If Ashley Cole wasn't paying people 5k to suck his cock, the papers wouldn't be reporting shit like this. You are better off without the big queer anyway.

And the "other" player is Jermaine Pennant. I thought it would be Dyer personally.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

How exactly are we better off without Cole? Wayne Bridge? Phil Neville? Paul Konchesky? Get the fuck out of here.

[Rob Ban Fan]

<Font color="#ff6600">Yeah, what Adam said :$

If Ashley Cole likes paying £5,000 for some guy to suck his dick, and having sex with his mobile phone, then thats his business :$ I'd rather not have Wayne Bridge or Phil Neville covering for him.</font>

[Ogen]

Cole? Bollocks I'm off to hunt on this he can't be gay what about my Tweedy :(

[Rob]

How exactly are we better off without Cole? Wayne Bridge? Phil Neville? Paul Konchesky? Get the fuck out of here.

:lol:

Talent is unqustionable. If you want players who bring this baggage then that's up to you. Don't expect people not to want to comment on them though.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

He can be a herpes-riddled transvestite for all I care as long as we win

[toxic rooster]

What a result for my former boys. 0-1 in the Bernabeu.

I couldn't sleep, so I decided to watch this game. For the life of me, I can't remember Reyes ever having so much pace. It's hard to pick a player who had a bad game today; Henry, Fabregas and Ljungberg shone, Gilberto made an absolute nuisance of himself despite touching the ball about twice, Lehmann was huge and never looked like being beaten, Eboue was great, too.

I was worried about a snorefest when I saw the 4-5-1, but Arsenal imposed themselves right from the word go.

Real's defence looked very awkward at times, and again only made it harder for themselves by constantly being caught forward and giving the ball away in dangerous positions.

Arsenal's defence looked shaky at times too, especially to the long ball to Beckham they dealt with a few times, but it didn't cost them so credit for that.

[Rob]

Fair play to the Arse. They did very well and I totally didn't expect them to play this well.

Liverpool = :rofl:

[Y3J]

Well anyone can play that well against a rubbish defense like Real's especially as Woodgate was injured. I've seen them when Woodgate plays fit (not that often) and they are much more solid and don't look confused all the time.

How many British players did Arsenal have on the team again? Oh yeah NONE. Real had more that were injured. Talk about a Rest of the World vs Rest of the World match.

PS - I really hate Arsenal by the way :)

[Cactus Sid]

Fair play to the Arse. They did very well and I totally didn't expect them to play this well.

Liverpool = :rofl:

The Arse were amazing from what I heard (divided pub) but we were just shite, I don't care the spin everyone is putting on it, we did NOTHING.

We spent the first half hoofing the ball up to nothing and creating NO chances what so ever. Second half we got into the positions, but then smacked crosses straight at the keeper. At least when Cisse came on we looked sort of threatening, but that was nothing. We needed Gerrard for the spark. When Sissoko went off we were in real trouble. Hamann is a great player, but he slows the game down way too much and we needed tempo.

We are gonna struggle in the second leg. We're gonna need Crouch to play to try and take Luisao out of the game and drop Luis Garcia, because he was utter shite.

[yianni]

Australia's first ever game in the Asian Confederation, for the Asian Cup 2007 qualifiers. Due to the best players not being available as it's not a FIFA international date a second-string side has taken to the field against Bahrain over there and it's currently 1-0 to them at half time. Pretty shit game. Still it's an important occassion for Australian football.

Come on lads just score a goal in the 2nd half farken!

[Ogen]

I've no idea what score that finished but if you lost to Bahrain its a joke you've made the world cup.

i think I'm in love with Messi he just oozes class. Getting Del Horno sent off was great too and before anyone says he shouldn't have went he should have been booked earlier for going through Messis knee its all karma baby :cool:. Ronaldinho quiet as fuck, but still looked dangerous all match and Jose imploding after the match was quality to watch

[Danny Electric]

Looked like some good games tonight, I still see us dicking Benfica. They've only got Mowgli up front.

[toxic rooster]

I've no idea what score that finished but if you lost to Bahrain its a joke you've made the world cup.

1. Australia had only 2 of their players from their world cup qualifier against Uruguay playing last night

2. Australia won 3-1 anyway

so :p

[BCWWF]

is Benefica a Portuguese team? I was trying to figure it out

who cares how many british players we had - for a start we are an english club so we have no reason to play scottish welsh and irish players any more than celtic, rhyl or cork have to pick english ones. secondly we aren't there to forward the cause of the england national team. we are there to do the best for arsenal. if in doing that we can help the england team then fine but we don't owe them anything. the fact of the matter is that when on form we have 2 england regulars playing for us and have just signed probably the most promising youngster since rooney. most of the rest of the english players that have been around the club for the last 5/6 years have simply not been good enough to make the grade

Sorry but Matt Upson became an England international when he left. Jermaine Pennant and Jerome Thomas could have done something too but they weren't given oppotunities to prove themselves. Stuart Taylor wasn't doing too bad either before he got sold. The only English players who definately couldn't cut the mustard were Richard Wright and Francis Jeffers. Ryan Smith will probably be shipped off before he gets his chance too.

And the British players thing does make a difference when you lot are crying about how other British teams don't follow you in Europe.

[Rob Ban Fan]

<font color="#ff6600">To be fair Upson has been shite this season, Thomas only makes the bench for Charlton really and Jermaine Pennant fucked it up for himself by turning up late all the time, getting pissed, crashing a car he wasn't allowed to drive and going to prison. :$

To be fair to Wenger, he gives youngsters a chance. Just none of the successful ones thus far have been English.</font>

[packt up]

I'm with you RBF. Upson really isn't up to much at all to be honest. Thomas I have been impressed with whenever I see but only in fits and bursts. Jermaine Pennant is a douchebag. A talented douchebag but one nonetheless.

In other news, God Mark Delaney is such a fucking whingebag. Particularly for such an average player.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

David Bentley is so shite everyone forgot him

[Rob Ban Fan]

<Font color="#ff6600">a centre back at right back, a striker at centre back, a left winger at left back and a centre midfielder on the right wing.

Just the four players out of position today then.

Toddy left on the bench AGAIN along with D'Alessandro, our only player likely to make anything happen.

Fuck off Judas. </font>

[Mr. Monday Morning]

COME ON

[packt up]

Good decent performance by Newcastle today :) Was really quite happy for once. Solano sheer class for his second. How the fuck Scott Parker isn't in the England squad I'll never know the man is fantastic and a million times better than Jenas.

[diothoir]

Leeds :heart:

Game in hand and still a match with Sheff Utd left. Maybe we could sneak 2nd yet.

[Danny Electric]

I can see you doing it and fair play to you after all that shit that hapened.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

We will knock Leeds out of the playoffs when Paul Butler scores like 5 own goals and then at the end takes off his shirt to reveal a Wolves shirt underneath :love:

[Wengerland]

Leeds' away form will have to pick up for them to stand a chance, they were seriously shite here the other week, we had 10 men for 80 minutes and looked the more likely winners. Then they've lost at Brighton and drew at Derby recently, 2 points from 9 against half the bottom six isn't great.

Solano's 2nd was a peach.

Yeah, we seem to fuck up against the lower teams. Losing away to Crewe, Brighton and Wednesday. :$

It'll come down to how we do in the 2 matches with Palace, I suppose. Might not have a chance when we get round to Sheff Utd.

[diothoir]

Bugger me, poor Wigan. :$

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Currently 7th? :rofl: Still to play Preston and Cardiff? :rofl: Game in hand over everyone below us? :rofl: Best current win streak in the division? :rofl:

Yes. We won the fourth most important competition we played in.

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!

lol nice Y3J

Saw the Liverpool game pretty boring. Couldn't be arsed to watch the league cup final and glad I didn't cos I'd have to listen to Southern/Foreign Man U fans banging on about how great they are.

Agreed. And how the fuck does Christian Dailly still get a game, nevermind one at fucking right wing!? Total embarrassment tonight.

[packt up]

Pretty boring game to be honest. Joe Cole was alright. Rio Ferdinand was fucking shite and how Jenas is in anyway better than Parker I will never know.

[LK]

Agreed. And how the fuck does Christian Dailly still get a game, nevermind one at fucking right wing!? Total embarrassment tonight.
I can't get the image of Henry, Shevchenko and Del Piero skipping through the Caldwell's, Weir and the crab.

Smith has a much better talent pool than Vogts did, yet keeps playing the same old shite. Well I guess it's true what some say - "if you aren't one of Smith's boys, you ain't going to be playing".

[Rob]

We need to go back to fucking 4-4-2 for a start. We are way out of our depth using formations that not only we don't have the players for but a total lack of experience too. They were on about us not having a strike partnership when Gary O'Connor has done well since he came back, Derek Riordan can't even get a start and Kris Boyd is totally untested. I couldn't see any reason not to start Gary Teale on right midfield tonight and yet we went for fucking Dailly. Graham Alexander couldn't trap a bag of cement and what the fuck was Neil Alexander even doing in the squad? I can take David Weir but the Caldwell cocks are beyond awful.

Barry Ferguson just isn't the same player he was at Blackburn (when he actually played well!).

[Ogen]

Here just give us someone shits World Cup spot. Damien Duff is a fucking legend

<font color="#ff6600">One of the Caldwell brothers, i forget which one, Stephen possibly, scored a hilarious own goal for Coventry against us at Highfield Road in 2003. Toddy I think it was, ran in and had a shot, hit the post and the ball came out and Caldwell ran in and put the ball into the net before looking absolutely gutted. Needless to say we won 4-0 whilst strolling to the championship. Stoney scored that night too. Infact, i think i'll go download the highlights from Pompey World.

Happy days.</font>

Sorry if this has already been discussed somewhere, but why does Ballack want to leave Bayern in the first place?

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Well, Chelsea would probably make him the highest-paid player in the world. On top of that, Bayern aren't the team they used to be, it's widely believed he mainly moved there to put himself into the public eye for this coming World Cup, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't get along with the club president (Beckenbauer) either. Might be other reasons, I dunno.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Arsenal and England full-back Ashley Cole has launched 'unusual' legal proceedings against The News of the World and The Sun over claims that two unnamed footballers were involved in a 'gay sex orgy'.

Although Cole was not named in any of their articles, he is essentially suing News Group Newspapers over the newspapers' 'wink-wink' insinuations which prompted various websites to speculate that he was one of the players involved.

'Legal experts view the case as an important step in taking the temperature of libel and privacy law in cases where the aggrieved parties are not named but the public is able to build up a "jigsaw" identification via tabloid hints that spark gossip via email, blogs and chatrooms,' reports The Guardian.

'They said the privacy part of the claim was "unique" because it relied on an untested concept known as "false privacy" - even though Cole says he is not gay, he will argue his privacy has been invaded.'

The original story was published in The News of the World last month and claimed that 'two bisexual stars made some very dirty phone calls - using a mobile as a gay sex toy'. Although the NoTW didn't have a copy of the recording of the alleged incident, it said a reporter had seen it.

'The tongue-in-cheek treatment continued in the News International stablemate the Sun, which later alluded to the story in the caption on a paparazzi snap of the footballer out on the town with his pop star fiancee, Cheryl Tweedy, prompting a letter to newspaper editors by Cole's solicitors. At no stage did either newspaper name the footballer or explicitly use his picture, making the libel claim unusual. But legal sources believed he could have a strong case none the less,' adds The Guardian.

'In cyberspace several sites published the picture used by the News of the World to accompany its second story and suggested it was a crudely doctored version of a snap of Cole and a dance music DJ taken from the website of a radio station, Choice FM. The gay website Pink News featured a juxtaposition of the picture used in the tabloid and the alleged original, suggesting they were the same shot doctored by the paper.'

[toxic rooster]

I didn't read any of that, but Ashley Cole is still a cunt.

[Rob]

And a poof

[Rob Ban Fan]

<font color="#ff6600">Wages in Germany are shit, although I think Ballack is on a decent wage.

I remember in that shit hot documentary about Barca, Joan Laporta said Bayern don't pay big wages.

One of the papers here said Chelsea would pay him £120,000, which seems insane and i dunno if he would get that much but he could probably do better.</font>

[Rob]

Ballack is crazy if he goes to Chelsea.

[Rob Ban Fan]

<font color="#ff6600">well yes, i agree. Especially as one of the papers said they wanted him as a striker. But he can do better than Bayern.

United should've got him while they had the chance.</font>

<font color="#ff6600">I doubt it.
9 successive away defeats after we had actually looked quite solid on the road under Perrin.
Over 4 hours without scoring a goal.
£12m spent on the wrong players in positions that weren't a priority.
£440 fucking quid for a season ticket.

Ferguson put faith in Paul Scholes (who I think is past it anyway) and he might even have to retire now. We need Ballack.

Yep, he's shown far too much loyalty to Scholes. Ballack or Riquelme would do me, preferably Ballack since he wouldn't cost anything.

11th out of 24 isn't bad, especially since they've got a real herb coming up in MKD

[Rob Ban Fan]

[packt up]

Pompey are lame Owen I suggest you jump ship to the mighty Magpies. FIVE GAMES UNDEFEATED MOTHER FUCKER

[Nervous Ferret]

top 10 get in? Or top 8? Top 8 would make more sense but if you gave like 1st round byes or something it could be 10 :mad:

GETTIN PUMPED

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Top 2 are automatically promoted, 3-6 are the playoffs.

[packt up]

Poor Mick McCarthy. Man he has some idiots in that team who have let him down. They seriously played quite well in the weekend but stupidity from Breen and that Collins defender cost them. Generally he has done well for the Mackems and is a nice guy I think, if I ever met him I'd buy him a pint.

[The Mackem]

It's a shame the players weren't sacked as well. Gary Breen belongs on the Budweiser advert.

[flairwooo]

Ahh what a crap result for the pool on saturday:( Let's hope the Red scum get tonked by wigan tonight :D....doubt it though :( woo0 :(

[Nervous Ferret]

promoted to what

[Rob Ban Fan]

<font color="#ff6600">The league above. In your case the Coca Cola Championship. Then above that is the Premiership.</font>

[Rob]

Poor Mick McCarthy. Man he has some idiots in that team who have let him down. They seriously played quite well in the weekend but stupidity from Breen and that Collins defender cost them. Generally he has done well for the Mackems and is a nice guy I think, if I ever met him I'd buy him a pint.

He deserved the sack after the first month into the Premiership. He is hopeless. His transfers sucked. With the possible exception of Arca and Elliott who might get into maybe one or two other teams at a stretch, they have zero players who have enough quality to play in this league.

[packt up]

No doubt his transfers sucked. However I'm presuming no amount of bad managing results in a defender doing that shit that we saw on Sunday or making Gary Breen such a dickhead. Sunderland's season has been littered with fucking idiot things which the players have to take the blame for.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

Sunderland have always been competitive in their matches and haven't been humiliated by anyone. Mick had them punching above their weight. His hands were obviously tied in the transfer market but he built a team capable of competing in the Championship, which is Sunderland's level at the moment.

Sunderland don't have the financial clout of even Wigan or West Ham. Mick was doing a fine job in difficult circumstances and his sacking is fairly senseless at this point.

[yianni]

Young Samaras has done very well for City so far. Pity Wigan copped an own goal in injury time to lose against the other Manchester cunts.

[packt up]

I saw Samaras play shit against Liverpool. Like proper shit on your shoe type shit. However both his goals against Sunderland were quality. My jury is still out.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Could have gone 6th

Played Stoke at home

Didn't have a single shot on target

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

[Karlsberg]

I think the playoffs may be beyond you now which means you can look forward to playing us next season.

[Rob]

I think the playoffs may be beyond you now which means you can look forward to playing us next season.

And giving me 50 English pounds.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

English pounds wasn't specified :naughty:

[Rob]

Okay Scottish ones will do. I'm okay with both.

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Everbody knows Scots trade in haggis meat :roll:

[Y3J]

I hate Arsenal right now. If they win the CL, which they won't, but if they do I will get so depressed. Watching Liverpool win last year was just about bareable but Arsenal...

...AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

[Ogen]

Best 0-0 draw I've seen in a long time last night loved every minute of it. Any team that stops Madrid scoring for 180 minutes deserves to go through

[Rob]

...AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Why's that? Arsenal are fuckers but they are more entertaining to watch than Liverpool. And if they win it, they'll deserve it. Not fluke it.

[Boondock Saint]

Blackburn v Aston Villa and Wolfsburg v Bayern Munich all later today. Gonna watch all that ish.

[Rob Ban Fan]

<font color="#ff6600">Wolfsburg own Andres D'Alessandro.

Little Argie legend that he is.</font>

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Woooo Cardiff fans fighting the police at halftime. Way to earn that reputation lads.

[Ogen]

Half tempted to order in the Villa game but we'll be shit most likely

[Ogen]

[Rob Ban Fan]

<font color="#ff6600">a few FACTS for you cunts

Andres D'Alessandro is the greatest South American player of all time. FACT. Fuck off Pele and Maradona, FACT.

Pedro Mendes is the ulitmate deep lying, ball playing central midfielder. FACT. Fuck off Andrea Pirlo. FACT.

Mark Halsey is a useless cunt. FACT.

The Gallagher Brothers are dickheads and I hate Man City, thus today gave me great satisfaction. FACT.

I may well wank while watching Match of the Day tonight. FACT.</font>

[Mr. Monday Morning]

Mark Kennedy is a curse upon our team. FACT.

[packt up]

Portsmouth will go down. FACT

[packt up]

Ps sorry Owen

[diothoir]

Woudl have been good to get the win with the Sheff Utd result but happy with another last minute goal for the point. Pulling that off a lot this season. Getting closer and closer to 2nd. COME ON

[Rob Ban Fan]

<font color="#ff6600">Championship football will save me £60 on a season ticket. FACT.

I didn't wank, i talked to Adam Kirk. FACT.

It was just as good. FACT.</font>

[Mr. Monday Morning]

If we're not going to get 2nd, I would not begrudge it to Leeds.

a) Because Paul Butler was great for us

b) Because we already beat Sheff Utd in the playoffs

c) Because Warnock is a cunt

[diothoir]

:love: i agree with all, especially (c).

Better beat them in april :mad:

[Boondock Saint]

Ya Blackburn, my boys kicked some ass. :cool:

[Ogen]

Yes you did you cunts. We were decent for once looked dangerous but Baros can't finish for shit

[packt up]

Thomas Sorensen was fumbletastic. Thats what you get for being an ex Mackem Scummer.

[Y3J]

LEGEND...
