Talk Football Here... - Part 1

[BigSister]

Yeah and that match is tonight the final is on sunday then no football till the friendlies start

[Dan_]

When's Accy's first friendly Becca?

[BigSister]

I think Burnley at end of july
2 games been put back too rochdale 28th sept instead of 27th and lincon friday night 12th december i think but its away

[Dan_]

Ours is July 15th against Gillingham.Not long now :cheer2:

[BigSister]

ooh not long at all
We might get something before that but thats the nearest so far

[Dan_]

Yay, Spain make the final.In truth they made the Russian's look a very ordinary team, just as they did in the group stage.I'll never understand why Fabregas has only been a sub in most games, he seems to have such a positive impact everytime that he comes on.I think he should play instead of Iniesta in the final.

[Dan_]

Grays midfielder Ernie Cooksey has died at the age of 28.He's been suffering with cancer the past few months and was too ill to make it to America for treatmant.His wife is only a month away from giving birth.RIP Ernie.

[BigSister]

awww no thats quite sad RIP ernie

[Jay]

We drew 2-2 with Chelsea, obviously wasn't there first team they had a pretty young team out, our goalscorers were Hudson and Morgan.

[Dan_]

Any trialists mate?

Couple of your players must have played the full 90 mins then.Blackburn always impressed me when he was with Morecambe.

Nah, first game is Tuesday night against Gillingham.

[BigSister]

we had our first win yesterday and craney scoired:thumbs2:

[Dan_]

We beat Hitchin tonight, 4-2.Goals from Daryl McMahon,Mitchell Cole,Anthony Thomas and Steve Morison.

[BigSister]

good ^_^
Won 2-0 against rossingdale united 2 trialists but not saying who it is
Next one is burnley at home but i cant go as im going down south for funeral

[Dan_]

Sorry to hear that Becca.

I've heard you've got Jimmy Ryan on trial, was a good player in Liverpool's youth team.

We play QPR on saturday which I'm going to.

[BigSister]

oh right i never hear anything at the moment lol. Good luck against QPR we dont have a friendly next week
Im aiming to go to the aldershot game first match of season as im off that weekend(Good timimg eh) :thumbs:

[Mike]

We had a goal fest which was nice to see, beat Faversham 8-0 controlling the game from start to finish, was expected though to be honest.

[Dan_]

Who scored for you Mike?

[Emzy-!!]

I support Manchester United!!!!! :cheer:

[Mark]

I got back from Spain today to find my housemate has bought me a ticket for Oxford United vs Manchester United, pre season warmup next Sunday :thumbs:

I don't expect to see Man U's full side, but will be good to see some of the players, and I guess Fergie will be there.

C'mon Oxford!

[Dan_]

All depends on if Man United are on one of their pre-season tours abroad,if they're not then you will probably get to see a fair few first teamers.

[Dan_]

Lost 3-1 to QPR this afternoon.Iyseden Christie scored with a poweful header after a really good cross from Mitchell Cole.The three goals we conceded could have been kept out if we didn't have some grandad in goal, which was Carl Muggleton, Bayes must have been injured.

Team was:

Muggleton

Anaclet(Wilson),Henry,Oliver(Albrighton),Laird

Cole(Drury),Mills(Bridges),Martin,McMahon(Westcarr )

Morison(Christie),Thomas(Boylan)

[Mark]

I'm off to watch Manchester United vs Oxford United tomorrow (sat 26th).

Pre season warmup at Kassam Stadium.

Let's go Oxford! :whistle:

[Emzy-!!]

Are you mad, let's go united!!!!! :cheer:

[Mark]

[BigSister]

5 days to go till football is back
Although im gonna kill that guy from soccer saturday if he keeps slagging Accrington off:mad:

[Dan_]

What's he been saying about Accy?

How's your squad looking at the moment?

[BigSister]

nothing at the moment but everytime last season he kept slagging us off at every moment
Oh erm okish we got that jimmy ryan but apart from the 2 we got at end of last season nobody else but we have a record of getting people at end of transfer window

[Dan_]

Seems quite a few teams are waiting a bit longer to sign players this year, doesn't really give you a good start to the season though.

[andyman]

How did you guys feel when watching euro 2008 with no england team there? I was peeeed of that our over paid spice boys dont give a toss! I feel england play better with a fast attacking game... Non of that get a goal and lets sit back BS that we tend to do alot... But with the players having already huge wages, houses, cars, WAGS!!! will they ever put in 100% when wearing the england shirt?

[Dan_]

It felt strange not having a team to support at a major tournament but I did enjoy watching it nonetheless.I suppose one thing it showed was we were in a stronger group that people ever realised.Russia and Croatia showed they were good teams after beating Holland and Germany respectively.

The England team have been a sham for a while now.I just don't see the effort required from some players.They get too comfy with their place in the team and that just leads to them being complacent.Hopefully Capello wont stand for it and turn things around by the time of the next world cup.

[andyman]

If england do get to the world cup then all wags should stay at home... It does feel like a wasted generation with rio, gerard, becks, lil ginger, rooney etc and with them players we still have nothing! I remember in 2002 it was said that we have a golden generation... On payers its a winning team, but we dont have a team that play like a team but a team of egos. Capello has to have the balls to take england forward... Even if that means dropping big names.

[BigSister]

I know what you are saying Dan but maybe we will sign some this week or wait till the friendlies are over then sign players then

[Dan_]

I'd imagine you'll make a decision on any trialists with you by this week.Perhaps get some loan players in also before the deadline.How big's your squad right now?

[BigSister]

ermim not too sure illgo and have a look
I think about 15ish plus if we get any others

[Firewire]

I am absolutely gutted. Rangers 0-4 Liverpool. OMG.

I was at it and I am not happy.

[Dan_]

You cannot even fill your subs bench :shocked:

[BigSister]

maybe theres more there has to be surely
Yeah theres 20 plus more to come

[Dan_]

That's not too bad.With Luton on -30 points it's going to take some effort for them to avoid relegation, so that's pretty one relegation place almost solved already.

[BigSister]

hopefully yeah but you never do know in football

Ronaldo to stay

[BigSister]

Apparently Rotherham might have a points deduction as well Dan

[Dan_]

Originally posted by BigSister

Yep, it's been confirmed now, 17 points deducted.Bournemouth will also be given one tomorrow.

[BigSister]

wow quite intresting 3 clubs that will be on minus points at start of the season

[Dan_]

Originally posted by BigSister

All in the same division too, that's got to be a first.I think Bournemouth are getting over 10 points deducted.It's sure going to make things tough for those three sides.Luton are going to have to have promotion winning form just avoid relegation.

[BigSister]

yeah its gonna be difficult but you never do know
Jimmy ryans signed a contact today so thats another one. Its bugging me where ive heard him from i know he was in liverpool youth team but i dont think its that he was at shewsbury last season could be that

[Dan_]

Yeah, he was with Shrews last season but strangely didn't play all that many games.I know one of their fans who praised him a lot and was puzzled as to why he was released.Oh well, their loss could be your gain.

[Ross]

I really hope Swansea City (come on you boys) do good in the Championship.

I can't wait to play Cardiff, scum are going down!

Yeah.

Promoted 2 years in a row.

I don't think we'll be promoted from Championship just yet, we need to stay in there though.

No way will we go back down though I don't think.

[BigSister]

I hope so Dan he looks good ^_^

I think they will finish around mid-table this season and push on the next.Just cannot see any danger of going back down again with that squad and big support.

[Dan_]

Bournemouth have also been deducted 17 points.

[BigSister]

think bourmouth might be ok they just got relegated so will have some backing rotherham and luton might be in trouble though esp luton

[Dan_]

I've had a look at Rotherham's squad and it looks pretty decent.The same cannot be said for Luton and Bournemouth are short on numbers.

[BigSister]

oh thats good i quite like rotherham i think luton are sunk already maybe bormouth will struggle too then

[Dan_]

Luton have just announced eight new signings.

[BigSister]

intresting....

[Dan_]

And here was me thinking they had financial problems :rolleyes:.Some of the signings wont have come cheap.

[BigSister]

well if they are dear then i supose its their own fault

[Dan_]

Exactly, hope they don't go crying if they get more points taken off.

[BigSister]

*raises eyebrow*

[Dan_]

I see Accy have signed Folawiyo Onbuje.He's a big clumsy striker.

[BigSister]

i wondered why he has had so many clubs. We will probably get rid if hes no good

[Dan_]

Barrow beat Oxford 3-0 in the first game of the season tonight.

[BigSister]

yeah i saw that quite surprising
as long as we dont play them again im quite happy their supporters chased our supporters once down a back alley its full of chavs Stevenage have to beat them when you play them

[Dan_]

I was surprised by that result too.I saw some of the first half and it looked quite an equal game but Barrow had more of the chances, then Oxford had a player sent off.

Sound a lovely bunch lol.We play them soon.

[Hugo]

So excited about today :dog:
Championship :elephant:

[BigSister]

oh they are lol DONT get me started on them. They hate us as much as we hate them lol they arent even local
Oh good beat them for us will you ^_^

[Hugo]

I think Derby will do well this Season

[AngRemembered]

Yes its getting exiting now 2 hours and my team kicks off, and its on the TV too, can Birmingham get the first goal in the Championship:tongue:

C'mon you Blues:cheer:

[Dan_]

We are away at Wrexham today, not holding out much hope on getting a win.We just dont ever start well.

[BigSister]

good luck you might have a chance but if you say you never start well
Its a battle against Jay today Aldershot at home

[AngRemembered]

Yesssssssssssssss!!! phewwwwwwwwwwww thank god a game of 90 minutes still produces winning goals in the urrrm.92nd minute:puzzled:

But it went the right way and the Blues on a 1 match winning "streak" Yipee:dance2::hello::dance::cheer2::cheer::banana: :thumbs2:

Yeah, lol. I am so happy.

[Dan_]

We lost 5-0 and had our best player sent off, oh joy.

[BigSister]

we lost too Dan. Well done Jay there wasnt that many chances so it could have gone either way. Jimmy ryan played well though Dan

[Jay]

Thanks Becca, good start to the season Scott Donnelly was our goalscorer.
Bull saved us second half with 2 good saves.

[James]

Has anyone seen this video of Steve McClaren putting on a Dutch accent because he is the new manager of Dutch side FC Twente? :hugesmile:

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=F8oN58cyp2c

[AngRemembered]

LOL, James, that guy really does make me laugh now he's miles away from wrecking english football now.
I don't think Ive ever felt sorry for dutch fans like I do now, but I hope they keep him there on a 20 year contract just dont bring him back here for gods sake.

[BigSister]

lol ive never seen that before quite funny though

[Willz]

Stevenage Borough Fan up there I see. What did you think of Peter Taylor last season.

Drew 0-0 with Watford on saturday, bloody awful it was, improved performance on tuesday night though winning 2-1 at Hereford, got Preston away saturday which i'm going to. Come on :hello:!

[James]

News from Burnley vs Ipswich... :whistle:

"1514: Remarkable story coming in from Burnley... the game against Ipswich has been delayed after a parachutist got stuck on the roof. The unfortunate fella was one of seven scheduled to land inside the ground but he misjudged his landing."

"1540: More comedy capers at Turf Moor. The fire engine to remove the stranded parachutist on top of the roof has arrived, but a car is blocking its progress so an announcement has been made. Burnley v Ipswich yet to kick off."

"1556: The game between Burnley and Ipswich will kick off at 1600 BST. The parachutist is still stuck on the roof, but they're going to press on regardless. Does that mean he's got a free ticket?"

Rangers 2-0 Hearts. Yay.

Lafferty scored. Then Boyd made a scored a penalty.

[BigSister]

I thought he was a hopeless manager to be honest.When he took over we were in contention for the title and we ended up not even making the play-offs.I understand that we sold off a few of our top players but most of the replacements were dire, he seemed to have no concept on what it took to do well in this league.The less said about his 'tactics' the better.

Burnley at home saturday. We gotta win that, don't know if we'll score or not though, where the hell is a goal going to come from :sad:

We just got gubbed 4-0 away to Ebbsfleet, shocking!

[Annie]

Hearts are winning 2-1 :thumbs2:

[Mark]

One of the craziest games in a while. Liverpool started off strong and had a few early chances. We slowed down at half time and Middlesburgh managed to get a goal. Play was slow and with 6 minutes to go, Liverpool managed to snatch a goal back. Then in the 94th minute, Stephen Gerrad puts away the winner, meaning Liverpool win 2-1!

SO happy right now

Oh, and....

Drew 0-0 again, but a great battling performance with 9 men after some absoloute shocking refereeing decisions. I don't actually know how this man has a job as a ref, he was awful.

Leeds away tonight in the cup, couple of my mates have gone. I think we're gonna lose.

[Dan_]

1-1 draw for Stevenage yesterday,we are improving slowly.New goalie we signed in the summer has already been relegated to the subs bench with the signing of Chris Day.Some of the other new signings are meant to be leaving already having not fitted in.Also two of our best players sold last season are possibly re-joining.

[BigSister]

at least you drew Dan thats good:banana:

[Dan_]

Yeah, I was getting pretty fed up of losing every game lol.We have got Barrow away on saturday, that will be another tough game.They have started off the season really well and it's a very long journey for our players.

there a realy good side i wouldnt want to meet them every week,
hats off to them.

[Dan_]

Wohoo first win of the season for Stevenage, just beat Barrow 3-1.Went behind after about 10 minutes when Barrow got given a soft penalty.We then got back into the game after about 30 minutes into the game, good cross from McMahon found Vincenti who headed square for Willock to nod past the Barrow keeper.Scott Laird then put us ahead on the stroke of half time after a mazy run and thunderous shot, we finally rapped up the game after Lawrie Wilson was left with an empty net after a comedic mistake from the Barrow goalie.

Derby County are loosing 2 - 0 to Barnsley, they'll be a the bottom of the table :laugh:

Technically I suppose Nasri was meant to replace him, but he's had to replace the injured Fabregas too.

yeah ive looked were 10th im happy with that
Im more positive now ive seen that im mad that dagenham are still top though looks like lord of the dance has done more lessons goalkeeping and not dancing

I think Nasri's better suited to playing on the wing, probably Wenger had him in mind to replace Hleb but he's had to do a job in central midfield too.It really is vital that Arsenal sign someone else though, it needs to be a holding player to help get the best out of Fabregas though.De Guzman from Feyenoord would be ideal.

Reminds me of Villa v Birmingham some years back and a simple thow in back to the Villa keeper Peter Enkleman who got the slightest of touches on the ball under his foot then watched it roll into the net:joker: had he not snicked it (or made out he hadnt touched it) it would have merely been a corner :joker: and Birmingham went on to win the local derby 3-0... oh happy days:kiss:

Haha, oh yeah I remember that one too.Who would be a goalkeeper eh?

and here it is

enckleman the clown :joker:

But still a great 1st time finish by that striker, brilliant...

Thanks guys I enjoyed that :love::kiss:

[Dan_]

Yeah, Celtic were completely rubbish today, but they're still gonna win the league. Celtic have zero chance of getting past the group stage of the Champions League.

as always, Emile Heskey probably does the better favours in the showers, thats all i can offer as an explanation.

Agbonlarhor has scored more in 7 mins this season than Heskey will get till we get to the next world cup :rolleyes:

That clubs a joke, they have at least one new manager every season.I didn't think Keegan was doing a bad job there but obviously something has gone on behind the scenes to cause his departure.

[Locke.]

Article on BBC Sport about Keegan:

Manager Kevin Keegan has left Newcastle United after only eight months in charge, BBC Radio 5 Live understands.

The 57-year-old held talks with the club's board on Tuesday morning amid reports he was unhappy with a lack of control over transfer activity.

Newcastle's only business on transfer deadline day was a £5.7m swoop for Spanish striker Xisco and the loan signing of midfielder Ignacio Gonzalez.

The ex-England boss rejoined the club in January for a second spell as boss.

Newcastle are 11th in the Premier League having picked up just four points from their opening three games.

More soon.

---------------------------------------

4 points from 3 games isn't that bad, especially for Newcastle..

[Dan_]

Keegan strangely still at Newcastle, cannot see him staying much longer though after all this saga.

Alan Curbishley has beaten him to be the first premier league manager to leave though.He quit this afternoon with the reason being the club selling off players against his wish.

[BigSister]

well he did say he was the fave to be first still he had his reasons

[Dan_]

Keegan quits as Newcastle manager, what a sad state of affairs.That club needs a bit of stability but instead they're onto looking for another new manager.

[andyman]

Many newcastle fans will voice their anger at the owner, i doubt st james will see a huge crowd again in a long time. English prem is rich which has came at a cost, the manager is no longer the gaffer in charge of his team... Them days have gone.
The sleeping giant of the north east has gone into a coma.

4-1 win for Stevenage today against Burton.I certainly didn't expect that! Hat-trick from Steve Morison with Lee Boylan getting our other goal.

Liverpool 2 - 1 Manchester United

A great win, by a great team! :dance:

First half was played well by both teams, but Liverpool totally dominated the 2nd half.

[BigSister]

Draw for Accrington but it could have easily been a defeat.Both goals coming in the 90th min and ours looks like it could have come with the last kick of the match. We beat the curse though as we had always lost to notts county before today

[Dan_]

3-0 win for Stevenage against Altrincham.Another two goals from Steve Morison, Mitchell Cole got the other one.Seems like we are finally starting to gel and we should be moving up the table.

[BigSister]

Yay glad you won i saw you were winning 2-0 at half time

[Locke.]

Good win for Everton today, really good game too.

[Dan_]

Stoke really have such basic tactics, just a team full of giants hoofing it.
