Talk Football Here

[Redway]

I agree but the world is cruel sometimes to the people that you don't expect.
So true.
Probably get a coaching role at the club, or something like that

Still wouldn't be the same. Imagine working extensive hours and working your arse off only to have that cut by just one incident.

[bbfan1991]

Probably get a coaching role at the club, or something like that

That would be a good idea.

I agree that it was unfair people were slagging off ALL Chelsea fans at Wembley yesterday when it was probably a small moronic minority deciding to cause trouble, these idiots let down the good and decent fans they have and don't represent Chelsea as a whole...

[Brother Leon]

Chelsea fans are on the whole incredibly scummy.

From my experience they are anyway.

[GiRTh]

Gary Neville with some balanced comments about diving on Sky Sports. He's naming and shaming a few players.

[GiRTh]

Wigan take the lead after some more awful Arsenal defending.

[GiRTh]

2- 0 ****** me.

[Locke.]

Wow, it's at the Emirates aswell

[Mystic Mock]

2-0 Wigan, wtf?

[bbfan1991]

Bloody hell what have Wigan been taking atm, winning United last week and now 2-0 up at the Emirates:eek:.

[GiRTh]

1 -2 vermaalen. *Phew*

[Locke.]

Wouldn't say no to signing Victor Moses

[King Gizzard]

Selfish player

[GiRTh]

Great bit of skill for the second goal.

Djourou is a complete donkey.

[King Gizzard]

What do you think about Mertesacker GiRTh? Will he come good or just not suited to this league?

[Brother Leon]

Moses choosing Nigeria>>>

[GiRTh]

What do you think about Mertesacker GiRTh? Will he come good or just not suited to this league?Too slow. He's a good reader of the game but, as you saw in the World Cup in 2010 ,he turns like a bus and is too slow over 10-20 yards. He's a good reserve in this league but he'll get slaughtered but fast nippy strikers. I'm stunned he's got 70 odd caps for Germany but in their league his lack of pace is not that much of a problem.

[GiRTh]

Wigan look ok. They should win this game. Shame Blackburn dont play like this.

[King Gizzard]

1 point behind us now. I can see the other teams getting their act together because of this and dragging us right in it

We have Sunderland on Saturday and MON will want to get one over us

[King Gizzard]

O'Neill will be fired up for that one, for sure. Shame he left really he' could have done great things by now if he'd stayed. Wht did you think to the way he left?

[King Gizzard]

Leaving 5 days before the season starts means I can't stand the guy. Most fans can't and he'll have an awful reception when he comes back to VP

He spent crazy amounts of money on average/crap players players, Curtis Davies 10m, Nicky Shorey, Emile Heskey, Marlon Harewood, Reo-Coker (who I still actually quite like) to name a few

Still miss him though

[GiRTh]

Well done Wigan. That is how you play away from home. Great performance.

Bit lucky to get two goals but they both came from mistakes so why not take them if you're given them?

[King Gizzard]

How pathetic was van Persie just then?

[bbfan1991]

Well done Wigan, they are playing with no fear atm. Deserving of the win, although Arsenal could not break them down despite the possession and chances at 2-1 down..

RVP really lacked class not shaking hands at the end:bored:.

Wasn't MON getting pressure from the fans wanting champions league football?

[bbfan1991]

I like Roberto Martinez and he/his players deserve this credit after the last two results and narrowly getting beat by Chelsea...

[King Gizzard]

We were 4th by quite a few points in the league, and in l one of the later knock out stages of the Europa League, away at CSKA, and MON leaves all of the first team at home and just sends youngsters out to Russia...imagine if you were a fan that paid thousands to go see that game

after that our form dipped big time, and we bottled it. He never made substitutions either. We could of signed Bent when we signed Heskey, probably still be in the Champions League places now if that had happened

[Locke.]

One more win and Wigan are safe, Bolton having those 2 games in hand makes it harder to predict though.

[King Gizzard]

I think it will be QPR, Blackburn and Wolves

and I hope it is

If a manager puts out a reserve team in a euro tie he's basically insulting the fans. Dont blame you being p*ssed at that.

TBH the choice of Bent or Heskey for me, I'd pause before I picked either of them. I'm not a Bent fan. I appreciate he gets goals at leauge level but I'm not sure about him at the top level.

Presuming AMc gets the sack who would you like to replace him ?

[bbfan1991]

Man Utd reserves were 3-0 down vs Newcastle tonight and we ended up winning a game 6-3, which had to be won to be the Barclays Premier League Reserve North champions:cool:.

I hope QPR go down and Blackburn too. I've liked Bolton since the Okocha and Allardyce days:blush:.

[King Gizzard]

Bent just needs service, he's not pretty but he gets goals. He'll be off to Liverpool on transfer deadline day in the summer I reckon

Well I would love Lambert, but doubt he would go, and I think Coyle loves Bolton too much..they're my first two choices

if Martinez got a defensive coach and a bit of money to spend, I'd go with im out of realistic choices

[King Gizzard]

Can remember when we were like 8-9 points ahead of Arsenal 2-3 seasons back then bottled it :( (after the Moscow game)

[Locke.]

Kinda want Bolton and Wigan to go, they are just the same old story pretty much every season. Especially Wigan. They deserve to stay up after these last two wins though to be honest.

Mixed on QPR, want them to stay up just because of Cisse.

[King Gizzard]

I just can't stand Hughes..his agent is the same as Tevez, and he loves himself so much

Would be funny to see them implode with all the debt when they're in the championship

[bbfan1991]

QPR are just a mediocre rich team...

[GiRTh]

I want Blackburn to go cuz they're too negative. Not fussed about the othersbut for comedy effect it'd funny if QPR went down. Funny cuz, of the promoted teams, they were the ones who supposed to have the money and players to stay upo but the other two clubs have got where they are playing better football on a much smaller budget.

[King Gizzard]

I think Warnock would of kept them up. Hughes had an atrocious record up until the last few games

Feel sorry for Blackburn fans, cause of the clueless owners and how Kean is a drink driving dickhead who took the job with open arms when his mate Fat Sam got sacked. Yet people still feel sorry for him for some reason

[bbfan1991]

It was hilarious how the Indian owners of Blackburn struggled to understand the terms of Phil Jones' release clause in his contract when a few of the big teams were interested:joker:.

[King Gizzard]

and they didn't know you could be relegated. lol

[GiRTh]

Bent just needs service, he's not pretty but he gets goals. He'll be off to Liverpool on transfer deadline day in the summer I reckon

Well I would love Lambert, but doubt he would go, and I think Coyle loves Bolton too much..they're my first two choices

if Martinez got a defensive coach and a bit of money to spend, I'd go with im out of realistic choicesBent for Liverpool? He's what they need - a 20 goal a season man - but Kenny would have to pay 20m plus for him. Not sure the board would approve given the recent signings. It might happen though.

Lambert is gonna be interesting this summer. He'd be a either very loyal or a foolish, depending on how you look at it if he stayed. I think he'll be in demand even more than Rodgers. He'd be a perfect fit for you if he can repeat the job he's done at Norwich.

Any of those would be great. Hope you can get a better guy than the one you've got. Dont know what they were thinking hiring him.

[bbfan1991]

Liverpool need a world class Striker, they need to find a gem like Newcastle did with Papiss Demba Cisse...

[Locke.]

I'm hoping we have learnt our lesson and don't overspend on British players when we can get better players abroad for half the price. Think if we were gonna get him it'd have been in January

[King Gizzard]

I think we'd take even less than what we paid for him if he had a strop like he did when he left Sunderland

I think he signed here thinking we'd keep Young and Downing lol

We were never gonna sell him this season cause we knew we'd be screwed without him, in the summer is a different story if we get other players in

[bbfan1991]

I'm hoping we have learnt our lesson and don't overspend on British players when we can get better players abroad for half the price. Think if we were gonna get him it'd have been in January

PDC was up with the top scorers in Germany last season. Most Liverpool fans judging from what I read when Bent was linked did not want Kenny Dalglish to sign him...

[GiRTh]

Looks like Arteta's out for the season

[Brother Leon]

I will be spending my summer on the beaches of Egypt and the Red Light district of Amsterdam searching for a Central Mid.


I will then phone Fergie up recommending him.

Antonio Valencia has been named as the Right Winger in Gary Neville's team of the year:worship:, he is so underrated IMO.

[GiRTh]

I think Warnock would of kept them up. Hughes had an atrocious record up until the last few games

Kean is out of his depth. Just look at his tactics in away games. He wasnt too loyal to Sam as you point out. He needs to get some expereince in the lower leagues cuz he aint ready for the premiership.

[Locke.]

Was kinda funny, he chose Dempsey and it showed his goals against Wolves, and then switched straight to Valencia and it showed his assists against Wolves

[bbfan1991]

Looks like Arteta's out for the season

Disappointing, just as he was in a good run of form for Arsenal too.

[King Gizzard]

Arteta's done more for Arsenal than Nasri ever did. Nasri's just a luxury player

[King Gizzard]

This Ed that presents MNF bores me to tears. So so dull

[bbfan1991]

Clint Dempsey is odds on to join Arsenal in the Summer, Liverpool are second favourites to sign him and Manchester United third.

[GiRTh]

Just as I say that I see we're linked with ex Blue 30+ year old Andy Johnson

great
LOL At least its not Michael Owen.

[Locke.]

Can see Dempsey ending up either here or at Newcastle. Maybe Spurs.

[King Gizzard]

He's the center of attention at fulham, don't know if he'd be as good being a bit part at a bigger club. Should go to someone like Newcastle

[bbfan1991]

Yeah that would be a decent move for him!

The Summer will be interesting for Villa indeed...

[bbfan1991]

LOL At least its not Michael Owen.

:D It is a shame how he has got unlucky with injuries, in the matches he played for United. He at least made a contribution and having someone with his experience around is good for the young lads trying to make a breakthrough at Old Trafford...

[GiRTh]

He's 29. His next contract will be his last big one. I bet he would love to play at a massive club in Europe.

EDIT: I'm on about Dempsey.

[Locke.]

It really is amazing how far downhill Michael Owen's career went, still at top clubs but really what impact has he had anywhere since leaving Liverpool?

Be interesting where he ends up next, when is his contract up?

[Brother Leon]

Dempsey should stay where he is.

He won't emulate this form at other clubs. Him,Dembele,Ruiz & Frei could be filthy next season if Fulham manage it.

Oh & Pog.

[bbfan1991]

Michael Owen's contract is up soon and with Berbatov going United might need to buy a Striker or promote one of the younger lads up unless Sir Alex decides to keep MO..

Jack Wilshire ruled out of the rest of the season and Euro 2012 by Arsene Wenger, shame...

[GiRTh]

[Brother Leon]

Might aswell bring back Scholes for the Euros. :)

[bbfan1991]

Might aswell bring back Scholes for the Euros. :)

Is it selfish to hope that he decides not to play for England? I would rather he have a nice Summer break before playing for United again if he chooses to have another season playing, although if he decides to play for England I will have to support him!

[King Gizzard]

I was pissed off when Carra came back just for the World Cup and I'd be even more pissed off if Scholes did.

[bbfan1991]

Scholes prefers the quiet life but there all these calls...

[GiRTh]

Scholes should never have retired from England. He'd have 150 caps by now if he hadn't.

[Brother Leon]

Only England would play their most best passer and most talented C.M on the left.

[King Gizzard]

Don't get me wrong would absolutely love it if he was in the team, but on principal..not really fair for the people who qualified us even though they probably wouldn't care.

He is spot on!;)

[bbfan1991]

Phil Dowd confirmed as the Referee for the FA Cup final:bored:.

[MTVN]

Neville's a really good pundit actually, I suppose he's right that it's part of the game now to try and win a penalty where possible and very few if any players are innocent of it, it's something that defenders need to be aware of

Gary Neville with some fascinating insight into diving. What do you all think?

okay, im glad someone posted this up so i could provide my take on it.

Firstly, as a non-united fan you can point out how defensive he's gotten on this whole Young diving ordeal. I personally found it amusing, cause I don't think he would have carried out this research had it not been for a Newcastle player.

Getting to the actual debate,Neville looks at Young's dive (stepping on Clark's foot), then compares it to Dzeko's. Terrible comparison. There is two major difference between Young's and Dzeko's 'dive,' if you look at them closely. Young is 3-4 feet AWAY from Clark, almost steps on Clark himself, then goes down. Look at Dzeko's against Sunderland. He brings the ball from a wide area, cuts in towards the defender, dragging him on, then shifts to his right. The defender (Gardner) in Dzeko's example steps closer to Dzeko and when he moves to his right, the defender has almost become a screener - blocking Dzeko's run. Because of Dzeko's run to cut in towards the defender, and move out, it forces it contact when the defender is too close to him. You can see on the video, at the point of initial foul, Gardner is in close contact to Dzeko.The SECOND difference being, the amount of contact. As I said, to me, personally, it seems like Young almost steps on Clark (massive in-step) and tumbles. With Dzeko, his foot is trapped behind Gardner's left leg, and because of the intensity of the contact, goes down. Dzeko's was a dive, but MASSIVE contact in comparison to Young's. Im incensed at how Gary Neville could correlate the two VERY VERY different instances.

Moving forward, with the Messi dive. Neville says "Messi dives, and he does it regularly." For me, that was it. That just killed Neville's credibility for me and those who watch Messi. To say that Messi dives regularly is to say Torres has been prolific at Chelsea - excellent punditry Neville. On to the dive, was it a foul? Yes. Penalty? Maybe (50/50). Dive? Yes. He does go down easily, which is uncharacteristic of Messi himself, but there is enough contact that a certain referee would spot at Old Trafford.

Having said that, I agree with Neville that its engrained in football. There isn't a single player who never dives, that's true, because they all want to win. But some of his examples, as a defence-mechanism, to a United player being called a cheat made me laugh :joker:

Big night in the Championship, Reading will be a Premier League team in 2 hours time.

I like Bayern, although I am tempted to root for Madrid only because CR7 plays for them:p.

Birmingham, Cardiff and Southampton all leading their games in The Championship so far:).

[bbfan1991]

Bayern Munich deserved this 2-1 win, they were the better side:).

[Locke.]

Leigertwood !!!!!!!!!!!

Reading are coming back up to the Premier League then.

COME BACK 30 STONE!!:joker:

[MTVN]

Well Reading and Southampton top 2 then, I think it's gonna be another season in the Championship for us, always horrible for the 3rd place team to have to settle for playoffs

Pleased Bayern won though, definitely deserved it

[Locke.]

Reading are now a Premier League club

[mrlecturer]

on to Messi now :)

[Mystic Mock]

Oh well at least we secured a point away from home.

[King Gizzard]

Good old Reading

Don't know if they'll stay up though

[bbfan1991]

Oh well Brum got a draw, hopefully another win should cement a PO place for them and the same for Cardiff too:).

Southampton need one more win to secure promotion too!

[King Gizzard]

McDermott looks like a top top bloke. Just read Reading were 16th on November 1st...that coupled with the dissapointment of the playoff final last year, he has done amazing

46 points from 51 as well

It's so annoying because we are two quality CMs from giving them a go but we will never get that.

Atletico 1 nil up. Great header from Falao.

[Locke.]

Have got Bilbao on, hope they manage to make the final have liked watching them a lot in the Europa this season

[GiRTh]

They're a good team.

[mrlecturer]

Pablo Piatti needed.

[King Gizzard]

Been an Athletic fan couple seasons now, Bielsa's really changed them round, amazing coach

[GiRTh]

3-1 to Madrid. Its all over in this one.

[mrlecturer]

1 goal for Valencia, and its all to play for. 2 away goals could be crucial.

[MTVN]

Wouldn't say it's all over, Valencia have the quality to win 2-0 in the return leg at home even if it finishes 3-1

[mrlecturer]

one Tino Costa free-kick needed only.

[mrlecturer]

come on Piatti!

two very positive subs.

[MTVN]

Wanted Sporting to win the other game but I do like Bilbao, impressive that they've stuck with the Basque tradition and Bielsa is a genius

Edit - Sporting are level :D

Valencia still with a big chance aswell, think Atletico will be able to see that one through though

add that to the list of Vidic, Vermaelen, Sneijder twice, Ryan Babel

I like Valencia, although i've always had a soft spot for Sevilla ever since they won the UEFA Cup twice in a row:):D.

I personally Love Sevilla. Although they've fallen down the league since that year where they almost challenged for the title, their continental performances are quite stellar. Kanoute is a beast (y)

[Brother Leon]

Villa park?

Wtf? Lol

[Locke.]

Wonder if Kevin Doyle will be back at Reading next season

[King Gizzard]

Villa Park I suppose cause it's a neutral stadium in the middle of clubs, good size, and a lovely stadium

But since the building of Emirates..

its also going to be live on a itv channel (freeview) :dance::dance::dance:

[Locke.]

We should have signed him after he left Newcastle, he would never be welcomed back now though. Could have had legendary status and left it to sit on the bench for a few extra thousand a week

[mrlecturer]

Like fowler's not-so-epic return. Love the guy though.

[King Gizzard]

8.5m seems a bit cheap. did he go out of form or had an injury or what

[Locke.]

Think it was the last year of his contract, an we got Nunez in the deal aswell, think he was valued at about 6 million.. unfortunately turned out to be average

ahhh, that jersey :lovedup:

[bbfan1991]

I think United will definitely sign another Striker in the Summer adding to a CM which we need and probably another Full Back.

[bbfan1991]

Good old Owen getting the English League medal his career deserved last year.

United will just make one for him:laugh2:, he has been very unlucky with injuries the last couple of years but having him round is good to pass advice onto the young lads and his experience. I hope now he is training again he doesn't get injured!

[Brother Leon]

I hope we aren't getting Gaitan.

Waste of money tbh. He's not what we need.

Just get Two CMs already. One real quality one preferably.

[Locke.]

The great one is on A League of Their Own on Sky 1 now

[bbfan1991]

Subtitles would be needed;).

[Locke.]

New signings always say they can understand Gerrard but not Carragher

Can't remember the last time i saw Ashley Cole on the bench

[GiRTh]

Can't remember the last time i saw Ashley Cole on the benchMe too. di Matteo's taking a bit of a risk concentrating on the Barca game. TBH I dont think they've got much chance on Tuesday.

[Locke.]

A loss for Chelsea today would be awful.. they won't make the top 4 if it happens. Still a strong team out there, should be able to get goals

[Brother Leon]

They have every chance.


Fluke an away goal and Barca need 3 goals.

[Locke.]

Just aswell Barca will be winning 5-2 then isn't it

[Brother Leon]

EDIT: HE's now taken Rosicky off. Our best player. Ramsey - who's havinga shocker - stays on.

[Locke.]

Yeah, mighty Joe Cole will be getting a call up now

[Brother Leon]

Money back if Ronaldo OR Messi score the first goal tonight

Amazing.

[Brother Leon]

Ronaldo wont score the first.

He will score the winner.

[Locke.]

Ronaldo is only good against teams like Almeria

[Brother Leon]

Must be forgetting the amount of times he ripped apart Arsenal,Liverpool etc.

[Locke.]

Not for Real Madrid

Boro have equalized
