Talk Football Here... - Part 1

[sol]

arrggghhhhhh Watford 1 Plymouth 1, yes i know drawing against Watford away is good but we were winning and then they equalised on the 92nd minute!!!!!!!! :mad: :mad:
pull yourself together Plymouth :bored:
we're going to be sucked into the relegation battle if we keep performing like this :puzzled:

[Jay]

Well another dissapointing performance from Man Utd and i think thats title over for us

Yeah definately, not a chance of catching us now.

[BigSister]

Dan who are you playing next Halifax away on Boxing day but Alty in the FA trophy thing Saturday at home

[Dan_]

Erm we have Crawley at home on Sat in the FA Trophy, then Cambridge UTD away on Boxing Day, Grays on New Years Eve and then Cambridge UTD at home on 2nd Jan.

[BigSister]

ok thats cool hope you beat Grays hehe we have Alty FAT then Halifax away then Southport on the Friday (30th)then Halifax on the 2nd

[Mike]

Are either of you going to make the trip down the Gravesend?

I will probably go to the game when your two teams play, i only live a few mins away from the ground.

[Dan_]

We've already played them away Mike, and beat them 2-0, Nurse and Boyd scored.

[BigSister]

we played them as well away 2-1 win on Sky

[Mike]

Oh ok, i'm not really too suprised you won.

Gravesend are a pretty boring team to be honest, not poor enough to get relegated but not good enough for promotion.

[Jay]

Yeah we beat Gravesend at home we have yet to play them away im an Aldershot Town fan aswell as Man Utd

[Dan_]

Do you go to many Aldershot games Jamie?

[Jay]

Yeah i mainly watch them at the home matches go to the odd away match

[BigSister]

Ive only been to one home match this year*cries* the Friday 1 when we beat Hereford might get to go to day after new year day 1 doubt it though cos of work

[Jay]

i didn't go n watch us on saturday but last time i went was the fa cup 2nd round match against scunthorpe

[Dan_]

Stevenage vs Northampton is live tonight on radio 5.

[BigSister]

good luck Stevenage:thumbs:

[Jay]

I thought they might have put that match on tv instead of the Brentford v Oldham match

[Dan_]

I did too, Brentford and Oldham are in the same league so it's hardly an attractive game. Oldham have already been on once this season in the cup.

[BigSister]

That sucks

[Jay]

Who will Stevenage get if they win tonight?

[Z]

Aghhhh, I can't believe Aberdeen! One minute we're up there, chasing Europe, then we're upper mid table, now we're lower mid table! We won't get relegated, but I swear that it'll be impossible to do much if we're drawing with Dunfermline!

[Jay]

how many points are aberdeen off the europe places?

[Z]

Far too many.. 12 points though.

So terrible, we were supposed to take maximum points from Dunfy game and the up and coming one against Livi. It would have been so good to get back to back wins and push ourselves up the table!

[Jay]

still got a long way to go yet Ziola so they could push up the table

[sol]

Wolves v Plymouth in the FA cup, we've had it already :laugh:
Mike i didnt know you supported Gillingham, comiserations on your very unfortuanate relegation by 1 goal last season :bored:
Very bad luck :conf:

[Dan_]

Crystal Palace away.

[Jay]

I feel well gutted because if we would have beat Scunthorpe we would have been playing manchester city in the 3rd round

Yeah i'm a Gills supporter mate been going for 15 years now, proud of it as well.

To be honest we were not strong enough for the championship and it was hard to take watching us lose week in week out, this season we havent been great but last couple of games we have had two brilliant results.

[Dan_]

Well we put up a good fight but lost 2-0, 2nd goal was not a corner :rolleyes:. At least we played some good stuff 2nd half and Stamp's back from injury.

[BigSister]

aww no that sucks Dan

[Jay]

Yeah unlucky

[Jay]

Thats better Man United back on track 4-0 all i can say is now c'mon Arsenal

[Mike]

It was a good performance from United, they HAD to win that one really.

[Jay]

yeah totally agree and if Arsenal beat Chelsea and we beat Villa then the title is wide open

[Dan_]

Anyone watching the Liverpool game? 3-0 already, Crouch has scored 2 and Gerrard 1.

[Jay]

I missed the Liverpool game so ill watch the highlights later

[CharlotteSometimes]

I watched it. It was strange watching a live match at that time in the morning, and the atmosphere in the stadium was muted, to say the least. It was a walk in the park though, and we rarely needed to go beyond first gear. The final will be a tougher game, though. But it would be nice to add that last remaining piece of silverware to the biggest collection in England, whether it's seen as a Mickey Mouse trophy or not. Did you see the clips of their goalie? Very strange choice for set pieces!

And it's the Champions' League draw later today, too. We could face any of the following:

Bayern Munich
Ajax
Werder Bremen
Benfica
PSV Eindhoven
Real Madrid
Rangers

I don't think that we have anything to fear with any of those teams, but it would be a shame if we got a weak side like Werder Bremen or Rangers. I want a little more excitement in return for my £30 come the second leg at Anfield. :spin: Benfica shouldn't be too much of a problem either, but it would be nice to show manure how it should be done. But there are few finer sights in football than watching Beckham thoroughly humiliated only yards away from you. Not since March 2003 have I had that glorious treat to behold. The atmosphere at Anfield would be electric if we were playing Real Madrid.

I'd love to see Chelsea draw Barcelona, too. Barca would tear them apart.

[Jay]

I think the two hardest games Liverpool can get is Real Madrid or Bayern Munich and im sure the atmosphere would be great if Rangers went to Anfield

[CharlotteSometimes]

Real Madrid are a mess right now, so they're not the risk they once were. Their form in the coming months will depend a lot on their managerial situation. And PSV would worry me more than Bayern. The atmosphere will be great whichever team we draw, unless we go into the tie having already (as good as) won it in the away leg. But Rangers aren't a mouth-watering proposition at all. They'll bring more supporters along than most of the others could muster, but the atmosphere in the ground would be similar to playing Tranmere Rovers in the FA Cup.

[Jay]

Champions Leauge Draw

Chelsea v Barcelona
Real Madrid v Arsenal
Werder Bremen v Juventus
Bayern Munich v Ac Milian
Psv v Lyon
Ajax v Inter
Benfica v Liverpool
Rangers v Villareal

[CharlotteSometimes]

Well, we got Benfica. Rangers play Villarreal ... and Chelski play Barcelona! :bouncy: :bouncy: :bouncy: And Arsenal got Real Madrid! :laugh: Oh dear, what an excellent draw! There's some absolutely superb ties in there, I think.

Chelski vs. Barcelona
Real Madrid vs. Arsenal
Werder Bremen vs. Juventus
Bayern Munich vs. AC Milan
PSV Eindhoven vs. Lyon
Ajax vs. Inter Milan
Benfica vs. Liverpool
Rangers vs. Villarreal

It was very odd, I had just got out of bed and went straight into watching a live game. That Saprissa only had about 2 good players and the keeper was a clown. Good to see Crouch scoring again and Josemi actually played well and Cisse was not selfish and played one of his better games as a result. Plus the defence now have a new record for clean sheets. Sao Paulo will be a tougher test but I can see us winning it by the odd goal and another trophy, that will be everything now!

I'm pretty pleased with our champions league draw, will be a bit odd if Simao's playing for them after coming so close to joining us, we may even sign him before the game's.

Tough draw for Arsenal and Chelsea, but both should be good games to watch.The last 8 will be-Arsenal, Barcelona, Liverpool, Villareal, Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan and Lyon.

[Jay]

I think the teams that will go threw are Barcelona, Arsenal, Juventus, Bayern Munich, Ajax, Lyon, Liverpool and Rangers

[Legend]

I was in school but had p.e 2nd lesson and teacher put the match on for us!

Then had to listen to the 2nd half in 3rd lesson in maths.

Crouch 2 again eh!?! :spin:And wat a great strike by Gerrard!!

I will have to buy a scanner then i scan all me pics with footie players! Well with 3 lol. Jamie Carragher, Stevie Gerrard and Robie Fowler (quite a few years back)

How much are scanners? I will get one after christmas!

Back on topic - C'mon Liverpool! :colour::colour::colour::colour::colour:

[CharlotteSometimes]

Sorry Jamie - I know that everyone's opinion is equally valid, and girls aren't supposed to understand football - but those are pretty strange predictions! :bigsmile: Rangers maybe, at a push. But I've got to disagree with you as far as AC Milan & Inter Milan are concerned.

Fernzy, I agree with your predictions, except maybe Arsenal. Playing the second leg at home may be the slight advantage that swings it for them, though. The Chelski vs. Barcelona match should be pretty close, but Chelski can't score at the moment, and Essien won't be available as he'll be serving his much deserved two match ban.

[James]

Villareal was probably the best possible draw for us, not that it will be easy though.

[Mike]

Totally gutted about getting Barcelona, no doubt it will be an excellent game.

Got to try and get tickets off my mate now which wont be easy.

I no there weird choices but i fancy a few shocks in this competition

[sol]

very good day for Plymouth today
Plymouth 2-0 Crystal Palace

I wasnt expecting that! i was expecting a thrashing!
we scored on 11 seconds and 90 minutes, talk about extremes :bigsmile:

[Jay]

Good day for me 2-0 against Villa and my other team Aldershot drawing with 3rd place Grays was a great result shame it was only the fa trophey

[Mike]

I'm totally gutted about the Gillingham result, we threw it away in the last minute against Bourmouth. (2-1)

[BigSister]

2-0 through to 2nd round:spin:

[Legend]

Bolton 4 - 0 Everton

^^ i'm a happy bunny hehe!! Everton's going down, going down, going down!!! :laugh::laugh::laugh:

[Dan_]

:mad: that Sinama Pongolle 'goal' was not offside :mad:

[Legend]

I know Dan!! That referee!! :mad::mad:bloody barstool. :mad:

[Z]

Ugh! Another rubbish game. Against Livingston of all teams. We should be in the relegation zone, drawing 0-0 with the two teams that are faves to go down!!!

[Jay]

I can't believe Arsenal are 20 points of chelsea and were only half way into the season

[ThaGazBoi]

Arsenal are doing rubbish, and im a fan of theres.

IMHO, We need to improve if we want finish top 3. At the moment, Looks like we may not even qualify for champions leauge.

[Mike]

No doubt Arsenal miss Patrick Viera, since he went in the summer they havent really been the same.

I was well happy we won though, shame i was unable to get tickets but Arsenal dont allocate many.

[Jay]

But i think now its only a 3 horse race for the title (if Liverpool win there 2 games in hand)

[ThaGazBoi]

I dont agree. I think Arsenal may end up with 3rd if they improve. I know we've had 3 games beaten in a row, but we can still have time to improve. We have got Charlton next which could be a good game

[Jay]

Im hopeing Aldershot go up by the play-offs

[Mike]

I will be so happy if Millwall are relegated, at the moment its looking more and more likely every week, not sure if anyone knows but for some strange reason Gills and Millwall hate each other, its been a thing for about 10 years now.

[BigSister]

For league 2 I want Torquay to get relegated because thats where my step grandad lives so if Accrington stay in they will play each other. Oh and I want Burnley to go up via play offs but I dont think they will

[Jay]

Can't believe how bad Millwall are doing i mean not so long ago they was in the Fa cup final

[Dan_]

I want Milwall to go down because there will more chance of us signing Barry Hayles back.

[SMC]

yes..lets get rid of the hooligans,

[Kore]

i hate millwall.

[Jay]

Well good result for us 3-1 away at Birmingham and we had a strong team out good to see fergie taking it seriousley

[ThaGazBoi]

yeh good on man u..I fink

[SMC]

Park should start more, i just don't understand how someone like Fletcher starts regularly ahead of Park

[Mike]

Anyone watch the Exeter - Hereford game?

I had to laugh when Guy Ipoua was sent off.

[BigSister]

I did Mike hehe

[Dan_]

Useless ref.

[BigSister]

I thought you learnt that already Dan that refs are usless lol

[Dan_]

Yer but that was one of the worst decisions I've seen.

[Siouxsie]

Sunderland Getting beat again by Everton

[Jay]

Man utd won 4-1 so im pleased but my other team Aldershot lost 4-1 to Forest green

[Mike]

Both my teams won today.

Chelsea 2-0 Brum
Gills 3-0 MK Dons

[Dan_]

Liverpool beat WBA 1-0 another goal from Crouchy.

Stevenage came back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2, Maamria and the new striker Jefferson Louis with the goal. Their keeper made 2 great saves in the last minute.

[BigSister]

Yay Dan ^_^

[Red Moon]

Southend Utd managed a win to go back into to second place in Div.1.

Strange how the two tops sides in Div.1 were both in Div.2 last year!

[Z]

Aberdeen 0 - 0 Caley
West Ham 0 - 2 Charlton.



Bad day.. really bad day.. *scowls*

[Dan_]

:hello: we beat Cambridge 3-1. Nurse, Boyd and Jefferson Louis with the goals. Louis has scored 2 in 2 games since he joined :thumbs:.

[Legend]

Another great goal by Coruch on sat eh! Bit late i am i kno hehe!

Should of been about 4-0 :rolleyes: but WBA's keeper played great!

Good on him! :bouncy:

[Red Moon]

Southend Utd won again to take them top of Division 1

Blackpool 1 - 2 Southend

lets hope we can keep this up for the rest of the year

Come on you Blues

[sol]

Im listening to Plymouth v Leeds on Radio Devon - we are getting most posession and most chances so far :thumbs:

I also share fellow forum members dislike for Millwall as well :rolleyes:

[Red Moon]

Hope you beat Leeds..... which might sound strange from someone that lives in Leeds but I don't want them to go up.

I want to see Southend play at Eland Road next year.

good luck Southend on promotion hopes :thumbs:
didnt you go up with Scunthorpe and Swansea from League 2? :conf:

[Red Moon]

Sure did.... its really strange that Southend and Swansea from League 2 are 1st and 2nd in League 1

eg. Yeovil

half time: Plymouth 0-0 Leeds :thumbs:

[Red Moon]

That's good news so far.

Sure do and Yeovil won the league 2!

Southend and Swansea and were 4th and 3rd respectively.

[Mike]

Good results for both my teams today.

West Ham 1-3 Chelsea
Huddesfield 0-0 Gillingham

[sol]

Torquay were unlucky to go down from League 1, at the expense of MK Dons surviving, and now theyre struggling in League 2 as well.
Im listening to Torquay's manager on Radio Devon now during half-time and hes fuming over the contaversial penalty that let Darlington win 3-2.
Apparently the ref sent off a guy from Torquay for abusive language, but hes a Muslim and doesnt speak English lol :rolleyes:
No wonder hes fuming :laugh:

[Red Moon]

I noticed I watching the live text on the BBC website and now I'm listening to it on Radio Leeds.

Doesn't sound good for Plymouth at the minute!

[sol]

no, 1st half, you couldnt choose between the teams, but now Leeds are dominating, Plymouth have just made a substitution, Capaldi - i dont think it'll do much.

[Red Moon]

Leeds seem to have all the energy now, but Plymouth have got nothing to lose by attacking.

[sol]

yeah, how do you get to the live text on the BBC website?

[Red Moon]

From the home page select:

Football (at the left side)

Championship (at the left side)

select Plymouth from The Coca-Cola Football League Championship Table (right side towards the bottom)

and you should end up here:

yer, it was on Sky Sports 1 wasnt it, shame cos now we've embarrassed ourselves infront of the whole nation :laugh:

im not actually that annoyed, Leeds are a very good team, and its not that much of a catastrophy losing to 3rd in the table :thumbs:
as you say, better luck next time - v Norwich :shocked:

[Red Moon]

And haven't you still got 2 games in hand over most of the other teams. Win those and you are in the middle of the table.

[sol]

yer, right you are, Leicester was abandoned when Home Park flooded, and Preston was postponed when the pitch froze :laugh:
we were winning 1-0 over Leicester when it was abandoned, so hopefully we should get 3 points there. But im not so sure about Preston :conf:

[BigSister]

I live near Preston Sol and it was absolutely freezing that night Blackburn and Bolton got postponed as well

[sol]

darn, is it still snowing up north or has it stopped now?

i feel less annoyed now because when the pitch was "frozen" at Home Park, it was playable i reckon and some official called the game off, i thought to myself if we were playing at Preston then we would have played, but seems like it was frozen up there too so either way we wouldnt have been able to play, good :laugh:

[BigSister]

No its stopped now:eureka:

[sol]

ah thats good :thumbs:

[Jay]

Well 1 of my teams Aldershot are back on winning ways with a 1-0 win over Exeter

[Red Moon]

That's good jamie2cool.... what happened to the others?

[Jay]

My other team Man Utd dont play till tommorow night

[Red Moon]

Sure they will do well.

[Jay]

I hope so we have Arsenal

[BigSister]

1-1 today Halifax are a good team Dan be warned but Exeter and Grays lost as well so *shrugs*. Got Canvey Island next though

[Mike]

Its going to be a great game, i'll definately be watching.

[Red Moon]

You should see Canvey Island off I hope BigSister

[Dan_]

We have already played Halifax, they are quite a good side but we beat them 1-0. They might be selling a couple of their best players though. Exeter and Grays are out of form. Canvey play better against the top teams.

We have Altrincham next, hoping for the same score as earlier in the season-3-0.

[BigSister]

I dunno Red they beat Grays so they are going to be up for it

[Razmataz]

Manchester City...hmmm they play tottenham tomorrow night...COME ON CITY....CITY TILL I DIE.:thumbs:

[Mike]

Man City against Tottenham will be another good game, both teams are doing well this season.

[Razmataz]

Oooooooooo a gillingham fan...were you at wembley when we turned the play off game around. in 1999

Yeah mate i was there.

I laugh about it now though, most of your supporters had left and obiously were not allowed back in, funny stuff.

We beat Wigan the year after so at least we made up for it.

[Jay]

Oh well i suppose 0-0 was a good result for us at Highbury

[Mike]

They cancelled each other out - I thought it was a pretty dissapointing game compared to recent encounters.

[Jay]

Yeah i agree but i thought we had the best chances with Ronaldo and Van Nistelrooy

[Dan_]

Not that great a game really. Expected much more.

[Jay]

You see that tackle by Giggs i didnt think he touched Reyes and yet the ref gave him a yellow card

[Dan_]

Reyes went down to easily for me, never a booking. Only 4 yellow cards last night!

[Jay]

I think the game last night missed Keane and Viera

[Mike]

Yeah definately, keane Vs Viera always got all the other players hyped up.

The tackle on Reyes by Giggs was never a booking, i thought that was a poor decision from Graham Poll.

[Jay]

Some of Graham Polls decisions was poor like Rooney's booking another poor decision because it was an accidental collision with Reyes

[Mike]

The crowd got Rooney booked, the way they all jumped out their seats made me laugh.

Definately not a booking and not even a free kick in my opinion.

[Jay]

I think even if we had won this match the title was over but its a point gained in the chase for second place

[Jay]

Anyone watching the footie scores Scunthorpe are beating Manchester City

[sol]

no, last i heard Wolves were beating Plymouth 1-0 but I dont care about the cup so good, go Wolves! :spin:

Aston Villa beat Hull :hugesmile:

[Kore]

[BigSister]

[Mike]

We were lucky to beat Huddersfield today, they gave a great performance.

[Jay]

Is anyone watching Luton and Liverpool what a game so far

[BigSister]

why whats happening last I saw Liverpool were winning

[Jay]

2-1 to Luton

[BigSister]

wow:shocked:

[Jay]

Yeah and they fully deserve their lead

[Tanser_Man]

Luton are playing great, gerrard's goal was at another level though, world class.

[Jay]

Liverpool have just missed a penalty lol

[Mike]

What a game - Luton 3-5 Liverpool

[Jay]

Alonso's 2 goals were class

[Mike]

Yeah he scored two really good goals.

I know the second one was an open goal but shooting from inside your own half with your weeker foot is not an easy job, he composed himself really well and also had good direction on the shot.

[Jay]

Amazing game end to end action

[sol]

good Luton didnt win either :bouncy:

[Z]

3-2 to the Dons. Amazing comeback. Shame we were overshadowed by Liver 'n' Spuds.

(Liverpool, for those who don't get my sense of humour. HAHA THAT'S REALLY FUNNY! I hear you cry).

[Dan_]

2 awesome goals from Alonso. The 2nd was funny where Gerrard's looking annoyed because he has not been passed to then as it's going in he just starts clapping.

[Jay]

lol yeah Gerrards goal was class aswell

[Legend]

Oh what a game eh! Alonso's goal was amazing!! :spin:

[Mike]

Burton against Man United today, should be a good one although i cant see an upset happening.

[Jay]

I hope it ain't a repeat of last year where Exeter took utd to a replay

[Mike]

Burton 0-0 Man United

No doubt an embarrasing result for United fans.

[Dan_]

Final score Burton Albion 0-0 Manchester United, well played Burton.

[Jay]

Yeah i agree they gave a great performance and well done Leyton Orient knocking out Fulham

[Dan_]

Yessssssssss! We beat York 1-0 away, another goal from Jefferson and now 3rd in the league.

[Red Moon]

Well done to Swansea for taking the top spot in Division One

But remember we are just behind you..... Come on Southend Utd!

[Mike]

Well done to Wigan on beating Arsenal, overall it was the most boring match i've watched in along time.

[BigSister]

We beat Tamworth 2-1:dance:

[Leon]

Leeds earned a replay with Wigan as well which means more money in the bank.

Great result for wigan, but it'll be Man U Arsenal final i think.

[Z]

Come on Dons! We're winning 2-0! And Hammers are 2-1 up! Could be the first time in a long time both my teams have won a game the same time.. :thumbs:

[ThaGazBoi]

ARSENAL 7 - MIDDLESBORUGH 0

What a result!!!

[Red Moon]

Southend Won....... and go back to the top of Division 1

Southend 4 - 1 Brentford

Come on you Blues...........

[InTheHood]

I dislike football after today :mad:

[Mike]

Gillingham beat Swindown 3-0 so i'm happy.

Chelsea to beat Sunderland tomorrow then its been a great weekend for me.

[Dan_]

Liverpool beat Spurs 1-0 so I'm happy. Stevenage do not play this weekend.

MARK PHILO DIES IN CAR ACCIDENT

Mark Philo - had been with Wycombe Wanderers since he was 15

It is with great sadness that the club announce the death of Mark Philo on Saturday 14th January 2006.

In the early hours of the morning Mark was involved in a fatal car accident in the Reading area. Although he was taken to the Royal Berkshire hospital he was unable to recover from the injuries he had sustained and his life support machine was turned off at 4.20pm.

Wycombe Wanderers would like to take this opportunity to express their deepest sympathies to Mark's family, his friends and those who were fortunate enough to meet him.

An exciting prospect in the game at just 21 years of age, Mark will be sorely missed.

Sad news.

R.I.P.

[Red Moon]

That incredibly sad to lose your life so young

At least he did some of his dream and played football professionally

[Mike]

That is very sad news.

His family must be devastated.

I was pleased with the result, too. Spurs are a decent side this season, and it would seem a European place for them is pretty much a certainty. I'd like to see Keane at Anfield (wearing red).

But the result of the day for me was Man City 3 - manure 'nited 1! :bouncy: Ronaldo's red card would've been the afternoon's highlight, were it not for GOD's goal which completed the humiliation, and the glorious 5-fingered salute to the glory seekers that support the nearly men which followed. :spin:

[InTheHood]

We have two footie threads? Talk about confuse me :joker:

Anyway, what I posted on other thread.

When I was a kid, all my friends supported Millwall or Charlton. I loved football, but having come from another country when very young, had no allegiance with any English club.

Anyway, I fell quite ill and had to go to hospital. Boro were in town a few days later, at Millwall. My school wrote to Millwall, asking them if they could send a player or two down to come and visit me. They never did, but some people who went to the game asked someone from Middlesbrough if they would come and see me, as I have always been a huge football fan. They apparently said they would try and send someone along, but no-one expected them too.

About 7.30pm that night, in came some Middlesbrough players and the coaches etc and spoke to me about football for between 30 minutes and an hour, leaving me some goodies whilst they were there (pendants, signed pictures, programmes and they all signed a shirt) all of which I still have.

Been a fan ever since, about 18/19 years.

So yesterday was a bit of a bad defeat, albeit with only 3 of what I would call the first choice XI playing.

As long as Newcastle and Sunderland lose that takes away some of the 'pain'

Ideally, Manchester United and Arsenal would be challenging Chelsea, rather than the bindippers, who are so dull

I still look out for Millwall results, but with a tint of 'if only'

Good luck to Wigan and Chelsea today. I think it's great that Wigan are doing so well!

Spurs are a pretty decent side, they did not create too much though. I've always thought Keane was a good player but the only Spurs striker I could see us going for is Defoe.

Great result for City yesterday and great to see Fowler score angainst Manure and give the 5-fingered salute, classic!I really think we're going to come 2nd this season now, only a point behind them with 2 games in hand. Just need a right winger though.

[ThaGazBoi]

Thats sad news about the death, and to die at such a young age. R.I.P

[Z]

Poor kid..

It's weird, the Dons won yesterday and didn't move position. BUT we're at least back in the running for top 6.

[sol]

Plymouth 1 Norwich 1

thats ok i suppose, i wish we'd pull away from the drop zone a bit though :rolleyes:

[Mike]

Sunderland 1-2 Chelsea

First half we were poor, second half we were just far too good.

I had to laugh at Robben's sending off, harsh or what.

[InTheHood]

Oh well, if we fall through relegation, so will the Mackems :hello:

I think their valuation would be more than we'd be prepared to pay, though.

Yeah, it would be nice to start the season fresh, with no Champions' League qualifiers to worry about. I'd like another striker on board, but it wouldn't surprise me if they're waiting to see how the Owen situation pans out. He'll not want to hang around at Newcastle for another season without European football, and as long as he recovers in time he'll realise his World Cup ambition, which was the only reason he signed for them in the first place.

That sending off was ridiculous. I'm just surprised you weren't playing Liverpool, who seem to play against 10 men every week :joker:

Chelsea are far superior to everyone else though.

Manchester United and Arsenal are good sides though, they'll be back.

Yes, Defoe would proably be too much than what we have currently.

I will wait until the summer before deciding on whether we need another striker, see how the current one's get on first.We all know that the reason that Owen went to Newcastle was for the money and well to get out of Madrid to. I heard a rumour that Owen has a get out clasuse in contract that if Newcastle fail to get into Europe he can leave for a certain amount.

Anyone see the Barcelona v Bilbao match i watched the highlights last night and i couldn't believe the linesman or the ref didn't see eto'o spit in the defenders face but he got away with it

[Razmataz]

Manchester Derby...Was absoloutely amazing.
Manchester City 3-1 Manchester United.
Yes Mayte..
Im a die hard city fan.

I'm waiting for Aberdeen to lose McNaughton but apparently the deal fell through! Brilliant! :hello:

Yes. Absolutely vile. Players like that should be banned for a long long time, but big club players get away with alot more than the smaller clubs.

[InTheHood]

Chelsea are reported to be lining up a £15million swoop for Simao Sabrosa after Liverpool failed to match Benfica's valuation of the winger.

The Reds had been favourites to land the 26-year-old but, after the Reds refused to pay Benfica's asking price, Chelsea are now in line to wrap up a deal.

Sources in Portugal claim Jose Mourinho will meet the £15million asking price to sign the player and will then loan him back to Benfica for the rest of the season. Any move for Simao would cast further doubt over the future of Arjen Robben who is again being linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge this summer.

A source close to Benfica revealed: "Benfica's asking price for Sabrosa has always been around the £15million mark. They will not budge on that figure but Liverpool have been unwilling to meet it. But now Chelsea have entered the race the whole situation has changed and Benfica are ready to do a deal with them."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As with Shaun Wright-Phillips, Chelsea are just going to be buying to stop rivals getting players, quite amusing in a way.

[Razmataz]

Shaun wright phillips is wearing the wrong shade of blue.

[InTheHood]

He should be playing for Coventry :puzzled:

[Razmataz]

he should still be playing for MANCHESTER CITY :laugh:

[InTheHood]

No-one should be playing for Manchester City :bouncy:

Apart from Calamity James

[Tanser_Man]

The on/off takeover of my club Aston Villa is supposed to be resolved within the next 72 hours.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed it goes through, and i've had a mate tell me that fees have been agreed, just small details have to be ironed out in the next couple of days. Which is great news for Adton Villa!

Maybe we can finally start to bring back the glory years. Albeit winning a league cup or something.

We need european/ champions league football because the atmosphere at Villa Park has died in the last couple of years and th eonly way of getting the voice back is through progressing in the big trophies!

Hurry up Deadly Doug!

[InTheHood]

I would talk about my main team back home, but this seems to be a British team thread.

Although it is a British website :dance:

And anyway, we are not very good :nono:

[InTheHood]

Boro hold on to beat Nuneaton 5-2.

Wigan won on penalties 4-2

[Mike]

The Leeds - Wigan game was quality, never got boring at any stage.

[BigSister]

you can talk about who you want ITH. Accrington through to 3rd round of FA trophy but rather get defeated soon as possible League is more important

[Razmataz]

Manchester City will now play Wigan Athletic in the next round of the F.A Cup.

[InTheHood]

Has anyone heard of SC Heerenveen then?

Well I guess people will have, but I bet people don't know much about them :spin:

[Razmataz]

yes i have and city are buying a player called samaras off them arnt they?

[InTheHood]

Nothing is agreed yet, but Arsenal want him too.

I hope not though, we've just lost Huntelaar to Ajax for 9 million Euros, and I think the reports say 7 million Euros for Samaras.

He'll do well in England, he's only 20. It will leave us with 16 million Euros, which is alot for any team in Holland, even the big three would like that, but I cannot see us buying anyone who could make the same impact as those two.

[Dan_]

Don't Heerenveen play in blue and white striped shirts with red hearts on them?

Stevenage beat Tring 5-0 last night in the Herts Senior Cup :laugh:, we had 4/5 youth teamers out, gawd knows how many the 1st team would have scored.Few piccies from the game:

We certainly do.

We are the club of love :joker:
