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

JOEY GUDJONSSON FROM THE FUCKING HALFWAY LINE

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

Mourinho proves once again he is tosser.

I'd feel bad for Owen buit reshanp is a cunt

reshanp :D Christ and everything else went so well

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

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

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

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.

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

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 :(

promoted to what

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Could have gone 6th

Played Stoke at home

Didn't have a single shot on target

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

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.

English pounds wasn't specified :naughty:

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

Everbody knows Scots trade in haggis meat :roll:

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!!!!!!!!

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

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.

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

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

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

Mark Kennedy is a curse upon our team. FACT.

Portsmouth will go down. FACT

Ps sorry Owen

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

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

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

Better beat them in april :mad:

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

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

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

LEGEND...

...http://www.xlab.co.uk/images/shrek-rooney.jpg

Oh I agree.

Sensational red x.

ROFLLLLLLLL. Watching Wst Ham v Bolton. This Nicky Hunt guy was trying to clear the ball, and he kicked it off the goalie's head and scored in his own goal. The look on his face was priceless.

Liverpool v Fulham 1-0 to the pool robbie "god" Fowler scored

Dammit you're from over here. I thought you were a Yankee which would explain some of your odd behaviour.

What odd behaviour? Who are you? Are you trying to say only yanks are odd? How old are you?.ok i stop wooooo

2-1 to the pool!!! wooo wooo wooooooooo

5-1 :D :D :D to the pool:D :D !!!!"!"

:'( ROBBIE :love:

Just watched the Liverpool v. Fulham game. Wow did they get their asses handed to them or what? And that Collins John guy, aside from having a backwards name, is a whiney bitch.

Robbie Fowler's kinda nasty.

My boys :love:

Gooner Middlesbrough are fucking shit and they are never going to win anything ever again. Seriously if the Premiership wasn't filled with fucking dire teams this season they would go down. ARGGHHHHH how can you change from one of the best teams to watch ever (at times) to a terrible team with no talent full of old players who are fat and shit and who play infront of 2000 people everygame in a shit city.

It's what I do :cool:

Thanks to being on the other side of the planet, I missed both legs but reports I'm hearing are that Roma shat on us the whole second leg (barring the first 20 minuts or so), and Schwarzer pulling off a string of great saves to keep us alive - great stuff, I'm really sorry to have missed it.

Look at the Premiership - take out Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United and name me a club you can see winning something anytime soon. We probably won't win anything soon, you probably won't win anything soon either, watch me care.

There's fucking dire teams in the Premiership every year, packt up, not just this one. The gap's increasing every year (though this one has been different with Wigan and West Ham in the top 10), the Premiership is almost guaranteed 3 teams who will struggle to make the grade (the promoted ones, if you didn't catch that ;)), being propped up by subpar teams is nothing new. Ask Everton why they're still in the top flight after 2 seasons ago, or West Brom why they're still in the top flight after last year.

Also, being in the stadium and witnessing Schwarzer's shootout heroics putting us in the World Cup for the first time in my lifetime kinda converted me. I've made my call :o

BTW, Fernando Torres reckons you've bid for him

Yeah wtf is with that. Torres at Newcastle would be mad - bet he would flop too like Luque. Don't take my previous post too seriously btw I just like venting at Middlesbrough cos you know local crap :). Plus I really don't think you're any good ;). Having said that I bet you beat us whenever we next play you cos we are equallly inept. Beating Roma btw is a fucking great result.

BLACKBURN 4 LIFE

Should've beaten Reading :mad: Still, point away to the outright leaders isn't bad, especially since Palace and Preston didn't make any ground on us.

Come on Leeds, btw :cool:

<Font color="#ff6600">Name me a better Portugese player than Pedro Mendes. I DARE you.</font>

Eusebio

^^Whiney little step-over cunt
















































That's all, sorry.

Apology accepted.

Ronaldo is the biggest show pony ever. Even more so than Joe Cole in his shit "I'm a showpony" days.

I agree, he should leave Real Madrid.

Check out the cunning editting.

Yes, Pony's are great do you think?

Figo.

Pedro Mendez

Nah I can't. My mate Fernando is better than him.

LOL at boumsong. terrible stuff.

Ahahaha unlucky Chelsea. It's Drogba though, so hoorah :D

Seriously he plumbed new depths today. All I could say was "wow". One of the worst signings in the history of football. Actually maybe thats being too kind to him.

And away from our dire showing against the scouse bastards...

What a game at Fulham. That's what the Premiership is all about. Two rivals one full of expensive world class players on the verge of the Premiership, the other full of decent players sprinkled with Malbranque and 36 year old Mark Crossley managed by a lovely Welshman.

AND FULHAM WON just brilliant. I love Chris Coleman everytime I see him I want to give him a big hug.

Fuck you Gallas you fucking dirty bastard (also a player I normally rate very highly), Fuck you Chelsea, and especially Fuck you Didier Drogba.

Oh yeah just one more thing LOL at Joe Cole and Wright-Phillips being substituted after 25 mins AHAHAHAHHA Joey wasn't too happy about that one...

3-1 to the champions of europe :D great game and well played by the scouse bastards :D

onto chelsea hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahhahahahahahaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahah thank you fulham :D

I love how Jose Mourinho has to find SOMETHING to complain about. I mean, jesus, where is the logic in "It was a handball, so the goal shouldn't have stood.....but it should've stood because the referee didn't actually see it"

It really makes you wonder what goes on in his head.

I also love the irony of him bitching about the Fulham players 'pressuring' the referee.

Ah yes, that was another one which was pure gold.

But we all know Mourinho thinks that there should be one rule for Chelsea and one for everyone else.

Well technically the goal should have stood even though it was handball theres no way they could have seen it actually happen. I mean the right thing happened but theres no way he saw it

You mean there isn't?

If he saw it why didn't he flag? Cos he didn't. Therefore it was bad even though the result was good. He guessed and got lucky. Doesn't mean that what he did was right.
