Talk Football Here... - Part 7

[bbfan1991]

Damn:(, another loss then still not the end... Defence needs sorting out but i've been impressed with some of our play.

Good match and Everton will be full of confidence now;).

[30stone]

Please Let Arsenal win today :)
Im not picky.. just 1 - 0 will do but we need a win.

[30stone]

would have liked to have seen how well everton would have done this season, if their first half of the season wasan't shattered by a crippling injury list

And problems with lescott..

Definately didnt help your confidence when you lost 6 - 1 to us on opening day..

Your defence was pretty bad that day, with lescott thinking of city.

[bbfan1991]

Keeps it open now Arsenal have a chance to close the gap:joker:.

[30stone]

I have never wanted wolves to win so much!


Wolves win and Arsenal win...

then its

Chelsea 58
United 57
Arsenal 55

This could be a good end to the season, though i think it will be chelsea winning today and them going to 61.

[30stone]

In the paper it had united as champions..

It predicted Arsenal man utd and Chelsea's last few fixtures and it had united not losing any more games..

[30stone]

Guess that was wrong.

[bbfan1991]

So it looks like Vanessa Perroncel hasn't took the eye of the ball for Chelsea players if they win;):p.

[30stone]

Jack rodwell man of the match?? LOL

that is a bit silly..

[Alf]

5 minutes on the pitch and got man of the match
rodwell is the busiiness, the real deal

[Alf]

[30stone]

[andyman]

Great news for Chelsea then..

I wanted Everton to win, but would Everton fans want Liverpool to beat Man Utd? Hmmm.. Everton fans are vile! Liverpool fans always show respect. :)

[MissKittyFantastico]

:dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

Can't believe we just beat Manure 3-1 but we bloody well deserved it!

Brilliant play the whole game, Donovan, Osman, Arteta all played amazing, but the whole team did tbf.

Wish we'd had a better start to the season because I really think we'd have been contenders for 4th place.

Super subs Gosling and Rodwell both scoring!!! :spin:

Really hope we can somehow get hold of Donovan, he's made an immense impression since he came to us, fantastic player.

What a brilliant start to my weekend :D

[30stone]

Great news for Chelsea then..

I wanted Everton to win, but would Everton fans want Liverpool to beat Man Utd? Hmmm.. Everton fans are vile! Liverpool fans always show respect. :)

[andyman]

How much is Donavan worth? LA is a nice warm place..

[Alf]

Dont think he deserved it to be honest,

Pinear or Neville for me i only watch from 38 mins though.
he was embarressed, which shows he's a level headed lad, i think he'll share the champagne with the rest of the lads.

[andyman]

Dream on love.. If Everton end in 4th place then I will suck my own cock...

[MissKittyFantastico]

How much is Donavan worth? LA is a nice warm place..

£6million at the moment, could go up depending on the World Cup though...

More down to his wife from what I've heard....

[MissKittyFantastico]

Dream on love.. If Everton end in 4th place then I will suck my own cock...

I did say IF we had a better start to the season ;)

Never say never though in this game!

[andyman]

Do you want wolves to win too?Hell no.. Chelsea must win! Arsenal are out of the loop now and I don't want Scum Utd to win the title..

[Alf]

Sir Alex loves Moysey :)

[andyman]

Arsène Wenger steps up attack on 'incompetent' referee Martin Hansson

• Arsène Wenger details five 'wrong' decisions over Porto goal
• Arsenal manager says corruption still a problem in Europe



Arsène Wenger has risked the wrath of Uefa by mounting a renewed attack on the Swedish referee who presided over *Arsenal's defeat in Porto on Wednesday, claiming Martin Hansson is "incompetent or dishonest, I prefer to think *incompetent" and unfit to work at the highest level.

Although Wenger stressed that he believed Hansson was guilty of nothing more sinister than ineptitude, he went on to claim that he has been a victim of corruption in the past and hinted that the governing body has not done enough to eradicate it from European football.

The Frenchman's main gripe with *Hansson relates to the mistakes he claims the referee made before Porto's winning goal on Wednesday. Hansson awarded Porto an indirect free-kick after judging that Lukasz Fabianski had picked up a deliberate backpass from Sol Campbell. As Arsenal players disputed that decision the referee handed the ball to Porto's Rúben Micael, who passed it to Falcao to score. Wenger said he sought the opinion of other referees after the match, who he claims confirmed that Hansson had made "five technical mistakes in that one moment".

"For me the backpass is accidental but he has judged it is voluntary. OK, we have a difference there; I can accept that," said Wenger. "But afterwards he makes so many technical mistakes that are not linked to judgment."

"I wanted to understand what happened on the free-kick, so I got some information from professional referees," he continued. "They explained to me that he made five mistakes. First, he did not give the free-kick at the point where it happened. Then he was not in the right position. Then he did not put the players at the proper distance. Then he should never have given a quick free-kick once he is in the middle of the action. And finally he didn't raise his arm until after the free-kick was taken, which is too late. These are technical points, so I believe he is incompetent. He has shown he is not up to it.

"I never criticise referees. I say just on that point he was incompetent. You see the referee take the ball and say, 'OK, score a goal.' How can you be a referee with *common sense and give goals away like that in a competition like the Champions League? It makes a complete joke of the competition. But we were naive too, I don't deny that."

Wenger called on Uefa to clarify the criteria it uses for selecting officials, saying that this was particularly important in view of past incidents of corruption around the continent. "A lot of things have to be clarified at Uefa," he said. "They have to be much more open about how they rate referees. Nobody knows really how or why they name them or how they rate them. The history of refereeing in Europe over the last 30 years is not very good for *football. Too much has gone on."

European football has been afflicted by many incidents of corruption. One of the best known surfaced in Portugal in 2004. Following investigations into the so-called Golden Whistle scandal officials from two clubs, Porto and Boavista, were found to have bribed or attempted to bribe referees. Porto were subsequently docked six points in 2008 and banned from competing in the 2008-09 Champions League, though the latter sanction was overturned on appeal.

Wenger himself was the victim of corruption in France in 1993, when his Monaco team finished runners-up in the league behind Marseille, who were subsequently stripped of their title and demoted after it emerged that the club's president, Bernard Tapie, had mastermindeda plot to pay players from an opposing team, Valenciennes, to throw the last match of the season. Wenger's first-team coach at Arsenal, Boro Primorac, was the manager of Valenciennes at the time. No one from any other club was implicated in that scandal. Wenger yesterday revealed, however, that he has managed a team in which players have been corrupted by opponents. "I've seen much worse [than Hansson's alleged mistakes] in my life, my own players were bought," he said. "I didn't become paranoid. You have to trust people in my job."

Wenger refused to identify the team or players that he believes were bought, saying, "I do not want to come out about the past." Asked whether he believes corruption is still prevalent in Europe, he grinned and said: "In my job you always have to prove what you say. I don't have anything to say. That's good work for you to do. You can make good inquiries, it's a very interesting subject."

Officials were not the only object of Wenger's ire. He also took aim at Porto's players, accusing them of systematically fouling Cesc Fábregas. "They were rotating fouls [on him]," said Wenger. "I was a little bit concerned that he would lose his temper because he was quite provoked. To be targeted a little bit, and be under pressure, I think he handled it remarkably well."

[bbfan1991]

Good ol Wenger loves a moan... but even Fergie does when the chips are down:joker:.

[setanta]

We always are we get about 11 shots on target and score 1/2 its always like that with us.

And walcott is terirble Nasri + rosicky are better.

He's got all the ability in the world but I just don't know if he's a winner, you know? Bit of a bird brain on the pitch and his delivery is terrible.

Ramsey was quality today, and Eboue looked very good.
Oh and Nasri and Fab are forming a great little partnership just behind the front man.

[30stone]

Ramseys always quality.

Eboue's alright..

[30stone]

But yeah nasri i think wenger wants to fill the gap if fabregas leaves..

Not sure if hes up to it yet, both same age tho.

[30stone]

Theo Walcott may not yet have secured his seat on England's World Cup plane to South Africa.

But he could hardly have turned in a better audition than the performance he produced in front of England manager Fabio Capello at the Emirates stadium today.

Nicklas Bendtner scored the first-half goal and Cesc Fabregas the injury-time penalty which defeated a sterile Sunderland side, but it was Walcott who produced the pace and the menace.

At times he showed shades of Zagreb 2008, the night Walcott scored a hat-trick against Croatia which set England on the right course in their World Cup qualifying campaign.

There were no goals this time but if you want a winger to terrorise defenders, then Walcott in this mood does it better than most.

However, if Walcott was Arsenal's most lethal attacker, the other man who made the difference was Manuel Almunia.

Arsene Wenger had been anxious to stress his support for Lukasz Fabianski after the young Polish goalkeeper's two howlers sunk the Gunners in their Champions League defeat to Porto in midweek, but it did not stretch to keeping him in the side.

He went for the experience of 34-year-old Almunia, who was back after passing a fitness test on an injured finger. Sol Campbell, whose backpass also contributed to the Gunners' downfall, was given a place on the bench.

But if the disappointment of Portugal lingered then it did not show. Arsenal were quicker to the ball, Fabregas and Aaron Ramsey seizing control in midfield with their slide-rule passing and pretty patterns.

Walcott announced his desire as early as the fourth minute, sprinting past Sunderland full-back George McCartney like an Olympic finalist - which is not that far-fetched, considering he has been timed at 10.2 seconds for 100m.

McCartney must have wondered if it had been a good idea to get out of bed this particular Saturday.

The answer came time and again over the next hour or so as Walcott tempted him in and then left him in his wake in a straight foot race.

[setanta]

But yeah nasri i think wenger wants to fill the gap if fabregas leaves..

Not sure if hes up to it yet, both same age tho.

He looked tasty today but it was against a very weak Sunderland side. We'll see. And yeah, Eboue did more on the right than Walcott did in the entire game.

[bbfan1991]

Poor Pompey going into Administration tomorrow:(.

[30stone]

rsenal boss Arsene Wenger could secure a transfer coup after Ingolfur Sigurdsson enjoyed a successful week long trial with the Gunners.

Both Arsenal and Manchester United offered the 17-year-old trials, but Sigurdsson turned down the offer from the Old Trafford club to spend time in north London at Arsenal's training ground.


Also

The ‘Dennis Bergkamp effect’ could see Arsene Wenger snap up another talented youngster from overseas, in the shape of a player in the mould of the Dutch Master himself.

The Arsenal manager is said to be keeping a close eye on Ajax’s 18-year-old starlet Christian Eriksen who has broken through to the first team amidst glowing reports from boss Martin Jol.

Arsenal legend Bergkamp, currently coaching at Ajax, has reportedly informed Wenger about Eriksen’s exceptional talent, and urged the Frenchman to make his move before he signs a new long term deal with the Dutch giants.

Eriksen, an attacking midfielder, is said to be perfectly suited to the ‘Dennis Bergkamp role’ and the young Dane was crowned the Danish Under-17 Talent of the Year in 2008.

Eriksen has had trials at Chelsea and Barcelona before signing a three-year deal with Ajax in 2008.

His talent and potential is known far and wide, and Ajax coach Jol knows he faces a fight to hang on to the gifted youngster. Which is why he’s eager for Eriksen to sign an extended deal before the vultures start circling in earnest.

“Christian recently turned 18 and we can now offer him a lengthy contract. His current contract is due to expire in the summer of 2011,” said Jol.

[30stone]

A couple of years ago we were in debt of around 550m +
Now we have just 200m dept.
And we are still playing at top level.

All part of Wengers 7 year plan, give it 2 years and he will have money to spend when he likes...

Chelsea and united both in around 700m debt
and Liverpool have around 450m debt.

and none of the 3 made a profit.

[bbfan1991]

Can't wait for the weekend football!:):D.

Need Leicester to win tomorrow:joker:.

[Harry!]

No good for Pompey, All that news was the top conversation today in my school.

[Ramsay]

I hope Pompey Rot
hate them

[danda012]

Pompey are now in administration. Basically now.. they are pretty much down and relegated into the Championship. That is if they survive to start next season.

A few discussions here:

First of all.. Should FIFA do something about the new owners trend right now?

After what has happened to Hearts, Newcastle (last season), Manchester City and now Portsmouth should the regulations change for new buyers.

2nd thing is WHY DO clubs who go into administration get deducted points? It seems VERY harsh (especially in lower leagues like League 1 and 2) and it actually can put them in even more bother if they get relegated. Portsmouth still had a chance to stay up. Staying up would give them much more in terms of income from home games and TV rights, but now they are pretty much dead unless they pull off mission impossible.




On a side-note.. i was just looking up some stats and that Cardiff City have both the highest scoring home AND away results this season.

If we did stoke would be ****ed because all they do is foul us to stop our type of play..

[30stone]

Ballotelli red card.

[King Gizzard]

Bridge being an unproffessional prat for not shaking his hand

[HeatherTWx]

LOL Ballack off aswell!
Chelsea down to 9 men :)

[30stone]

the **** was that for ref he didnt touch him!!!

This ref is terrible

But i really wish i had him tomorrow.


Stoke would have about 7 yellows and 2 reds and we would get like 2 penalty's if this bloke was the ref as fabregas gets kicked so many times ..

Shows how unpredictable the season has been:D.

So glad Chelsea lost:D, not just because I don't like them;). Man City played well despite being a bit wobbly at the back for certain periods, Chelski were all over the place.. they will recover but as for City comfortable in fourth again witha game in hand to boost their confidence,

[bbfan1991]

Chelsea and United draw and we win that week it would be awesome.

If they cant get something from tottenham to..

[bbfan1991]

If Arsenal beat city and Tottenham and win today we have a great chance

Chelsea and United draw and we win that week it would be awesome.

If they cant get something from tottenham to..

United got Wolves next away, we did lose at Molineux before so anything is possible this season but obviously I hope for a win:D.

Bet Chels is unhappy at the match and screaming.. Cardiff 1-0 down against Preston away and Swansea winning against Peterborough at home:shocked:.

[Alf]

Everyone do this..

Terry put his hand out..


Dont they do that quite often like not shake hands..

[bbfan1991]

Good on Bridge although enough is enough now:). Like Bellamy says of the pitch everyone knows what JT is really like but on it you can't deny that he's a good player and captain for Chelski:D.


pjhbv1UxjjU

[30stone]

Bellamy looking for trouble there..

Hes like a little pitbull jumping to a rottwieler, bellamy is nasty but terry is big and nasty..

[bbfan1991]

Albion 1-0 down to Derby:rolleyes:.

[bbfan1991]

Reading 3-0 up against Sheffield Wednesday:shocked:.

[bbfan1991]

Cardiff 3-0 down now at Preston, Chels won't be happy:nono::D.

[bbfan1991]

WBA 3-1 up, Forest are losing to Leicester so back to second place for the Baggies:dance:.

[30stone]

Awesome.

[King Gizzard]

Hope chelsea aint on her period as well...god that would be a nightmare!!

[bbfan1991]

Stoke 1-0 up- Danny Pugh:D:shocked:. Ex United player but Man City fan:joker:.

[Gemmer-x]

bad losses for Chelski AND Forest :'(

[setanta]

Did anyone see that injury Ramsay sustained? Absolutely horrific stuff.

[SocietyIsRuined]

Did anyone see that injury Ramsay sustained? Absolutely horrific stuff.

I missed the actual incident live on tv due to talking but I have seen the photo of the poor guys leg. :sad:

Wish him a speedy recovery and hope he's as good as he was going to be. Poor lad would've been possibly the greatest Welsh player of the last 30+ years. :sad:

I was watching and knew that some damage had been done immediately after impact. Nasty stuff. Excellent player too.

[King Gizzard]

right at the point where hes growing the most, aint good for him really

And he ll be amazingly scared to ever play football again


But I hold alot of sympathy for Shawcross too..inexperienced tackle and he was distraught, went over to him straight away

I know you're right but at the moment I don't like Shawcross but that's due to it being a recent thing. It will pass but at the moment I can't stand the guy. I know he's sorry and I seen him crying as he was sent off but Ramsey to me is gold dust, Wales don't get many of them and we may not for another decade. :sad:

Good luck Rambo, get better son. :thumbs:

[bbfan1991]

Horrific tackle by Shawcross but there was no maliciousness in his challenge:nono:, hope Ramsey makes a speedy recovery:).

[30stone]

Poor challenge do feel sorry for shawcross.

But Ramsey was progressing so well, he could have been great, and its possible he could take well over a year to even play again..

[Alf]

Go to soccernet.com to see a pic. You don't see the bone but his foot and lower half of his shin bone are bent out of shape and basically dangling there. Nasty stuff.

[bbfan1991]

Hey Wannashag:wavey: maybe nows not the best time for Rodwell and he can continue to improve. Shame Jagielka isn't on there too,

i'll give it a miss, not in the mood to see it yet

[Alf]

can only hope the kid a good recovery physicly and mentally

[King Gizzard]

I can remember Freddie boumas when his ankle was basically bent in half. he was out for 17-18 months, has just come back now

[bbfan1991]

can only hope the kid a good recovery physicly and mentally

Indeed apart from the few idiot minority of fans, us genuine fans can be sporting when it comes to wishing a player whether on our team or opposition a quick recovery if they are injured as it's not nice but you have to deal with it:).

Heskey called up?:conf:. No Agbonlahor or Ashley Young what a joke .

[King Gizzard]

I reckon Shawcross will pull outta the england squad

he ll be mentally ruined

[King Gizzard]

Both are pretty crap thats why

[bbfan1991]

I reckon Shawcross will pull outta the england squad

he ll be mentally ruined

He shouldn't have to IMO, he'll obviously feel guilty and upset about what has happened but the manager has chosen him so he should get on with it and focus for the game whilst also sending Ramsey an apology:).

[King Gizzard]

yeah but the guy will be scared to tackle for a long time

hes only like 22-23 lets remember

[bbfan1991]

Both are pretty crap thats why

LOL ha ha Martin O'Neill is always going on about how much he rates them;).


Theres an Irish presenter on Sky Sports News:).

[King Gizzard]

Milner


miles better than all the rest


he is our man

our Stevie G

[30stone]

I dont think it will affect him to bad, i dont think he will be very brave for about 3 games.. thats all.


Milner
and Agbonlahor should both be in the squad 100%

[King Gizzard]

I can't believe there is only 15 minutes of coverage before kick off for the final on SkySports tommorow, and only an hour of coverage before on BBC1

joke!

bbc1 it is

[bbfan1991]

Milner


miles better than all the rest


he is our man

our Stevie G

Milner's always been a player who had potential, ever since he was at Leeds and now after a rough patch at Newcastle it's coming back since he moved to the Villa:thumbs:.

I know Nath:shocked:.

[Alf]

i think milner should start on the right against egypt, walcott on the bench, dont rate swp at international level.

[30stone]

David James
Robert Green
Joe Hart



Wes Brow
John Terry
Matthew Upson
Joleon Lescott
Ryan Shawcross
Leighton Baines

James Milner

Michael Carrick
Shaun Wright-Phillip

Theo Walcot
Emile Heskey
Jermain Defoe
Wayne Rooney
Peter Crouch
Carlton Cole

- Walcott gets a place because he played one game well?
Agbonlahor hasnt and he has scored like 15 goals this season..

And Crouch

and heskey.. just why..


Anyway, out of the players named who would be your starting 11 + subs?

[bbfan1991]

I like SWP:D. Shame Aaron Lennon is injured as I would have liked to see him added to the team.

[King Gizzard]

Heskey plays well with rooney (supposedly)

I get so pissed off when people say rooney needs someone to play up with..why does he? hes lethal in the box on his own as hes proved this season at United, and his heading has improved a hell of alot

[bbfan1991]

Rooney has practiced a lot on his headers, he said he would in his interview on MUTV and it paid off:D. Rooney works best with Jermain Defoe IMO anyway.

[King Gizzard]

Yeah spent all summer on it I heard, has paid off well

[Alf]

I like SWP:D. Shame Aaron Lennon is injured as I would have liked to see him added to the team.
lennon, walcott, beckham and milner will all do a better job on the right than swp.
wes brown shouldn't be in the squad either, surely we got better players than him?

[bbfan1991]

lennon, walcott, beckham and milner will all do a better job on the right than swp.
wes brown shouldn't be in the squad either, surely we got better players than him?

When Wes is on form he can play well, he's better as a right back then playing at centre back.. he's been a bit shaky at times this season but he can do a job for the team.

Yeah Nath he realised that was one thing he needed to improve about his game. Rooney's just a class act:devil:.

[King Gizzard]

Be interesting to see who gets the nod at LB against Egypt, if Stephy Warnock has a good game tommorow I reckon he will

he currently holds the record for the shortest england career or something lol, came on for like 2 minutes

[bbfan1991]

Be interesting to see who gets the nod at LB against Egypt, if Stephy Warnock has a good game tommorow I reckon he will

Warnock is better than Baines so should be him. Liverpool really messed up where he is concerned (sorry Andyman;)).

[King Gizzard]

On his day Wes Brown is brilliant

[Alf]

Warnock is better than Baines so should be him. Liverpool really messed up where he is concerned (sorry Andyman;)).
which ever one get's their chance first has to take it, they might only get 1 chance, he might give them half each as it's a friendly.

[bbfan1991]

On his day Wes Brown is brilliant

I agree of course:), especially when he has Rio, Vidic or Evans as cover alongside him lol.

[King Gizzard]

both are miles better than bridge anyway, so i dont mind either way, although would like stevey to get it

[bbfan1991]

which ever one get's their chance first has to take it, they might only get 1 chance, he might give them half each as it's a friendly.

Yeah best to take it and show what you can do. Baines is a good player also so deserving of his opportunity at some point.

[bbfan1991]

I bet both of them are pleased at Bridge and Cole's problems PMSL:laugh:.

Lmao Milner called up as a defender?:shocked:.

[King Gizzard]

It looks likely that we ll be going to wembley again after this game, we got reading in the quarters of the Fa cup

[Alf]

i predict he'll start with baines, mainly due to the fact warnocks playing in a big cup final tomorrow.

[bbfan1991]

It looks likely that we ll be going to wembley again after this game, we got reading in the quarters of the Fa cup

Good luck in that:thumbs:, as for tomorrow no comment lol what will be... etc, i'll be gracious in defeat if United lose but gutted at the same time but if we win party time for me:D.

[Alf]

It looks likely that we ll be going to wembley again after this game, we got reading in the quarters of the Fa cup
dont count your chickens, the fa cup is magical

[bbfan1991]

OMG David James' hair:laugh2:.

[King Gizzard]

Well, on paper it looks likely then

[King Gizzard]

Its a disgrace that the semi finals are at Wembley

they should be at Old Trafford and the Emirates

[bbfan1991]

Its a disgrace that the semi finals are at Wembley

they should be at Old Trafford and the Emirates

It defeats the whole object of having the great experience of reaching the final already playing there in the semi finals:rolleyes:.

I agree semis at OT or Emirates.

[King Gizzard]

well ot can have one and emirates can have one

[Alf]

Its a disgrace that the semi finals are at Wembley

they should be at Old Trafford and the Emirates
villa park and hillsbrough like it always used to be (traditional)
wembley is a disgrace and pure greed

[bbfan1991]

well ot can have one and emirates can have one

Or Villa Park?;).

[King Gizzard]

Well I was just going by the two biggest stadiums in england



And its also a disgrace that 28,000 of the seats tommorow wont be used by fans, just posh corporate fckers that 3/4's of the time wont even be looking at the pitch

both sides only got 31,000 allocation

[bbfan1991]

Could have had more fans in:).

Wembley isn't just about greed, footie is these days sadly:(.

[King Gizzard]

Almost forgetting another cracking game on tommorow, the 3rd Old firm derby of the season


come on you celticccccccccccccc!

[setanta]

Never been a fan of Scottish football for some reason. I try to watch but get bored.

[Alf]

i relate to that, you know from the very start that the champions will be one of two teams, and every other team are just there to pick up a wage packet.

Exactly. I mean I'll watch the odd Old Firm clash but that's about it.

[King Gizzard]

oh yeah deffinetly - i just like watching them two teams go at it

[setanta]

oh yeah deffinetly - i just like watching them two teams go at it

I thought that every English person was basically a Rangers fan, no?

[King Gizzard]

Nope always liked Celtic

I don't care about all the history and the anti-britain stuff

Love the colours, love the name, love the badge, love henrik larsson..love martin oneill

[setanta]

Well it's also an anti fenian thing too lol. It goes both ways. But yeah, Celtic are a nice club.

[Alf]

when i started being a football fan was 1985, so aberdeen are my team, because they were the best then in the alex ferguson days, which is a reason i'm an everton fan, because they were the best at that point, i've always been loyal though, and aint changed me colours in 25 years, and never will

[King Gizzard]

I tend not to cross on and off the field matters in football, as is my stance in the TerryBridge gate saga

[setanta]

Good way to be I suppose. That's why I loved Georgie Best. Catholics and Protestants all loved him because he didn't get involved in that side of things.

[King Gizzard]

And Celtic had MON at the helm and he was one of their best/favourite managers of all time, and he was N.Irish of course

[setanta]

And Celtic had MON at the helm and he was one of their best/favourite managers of all time, and he was N.Irish of course

I remember watching a clip of a Brian Clough interview when O'Neill was a Forest player and he was asked what he thought about him. He said something like, " he's a good lad, but it always worries me when I have a player who's smarter than me". Something like that anyway. Clough was a legend.

[King Gizzard]

Ahhh I love MON..but I wish we sacked him at the Start of the transfer window then re-hired him when it shut lol

[setanta]

Ahhh I love MON..but I wish we sacked him at the Start of the transfer window then re-hired him when it shut lol

I understand what you mean. Some managers just don't understand the transfer market. I mean they're just old school and can't handle all the rubbish or might be fearful of making a bollox of it. Wenger is the same. He did buy Milner though.

[King Gizzard]

We don't have much money as well

But we havnt spent any money in the last year or two really (all the players we bought have been funded by other player sales like Barry etc)

Want to take a risk on a striker

but then again he did take a risk on A.Young and Milner who were good...and straight swapping Baros for Carew from Lyon (amazing deal)

but then let himself down with Harewood and Heskey

[setanta]

That happens though. I mean, look at Ferguson's record. Veron?!! And Berbatov is a good player but wasn't worth that kinda money.

[King Gizzard]

Kleberson, Anderson :laugh:

they'll never ever be another brian clough, or anything like him, unique and genius is what he was.

[King Gizzard]

O'neill will win the premier league one day

Probably not with us, but he will win it!

[setanta]

Kleberson, Anderson :laugh:

I still think Anderson could do the business.

[King Gizzard]

I think he is reaaaaaaaaaaal shocking



But then again I base alot of judgement on football manager which I play constantly lol

[setanta]

I think he is reaaaaaaaaaaal shocking



But then again I base alot of judgement on football manager which I play constantly lol

Nah, I just think he's being played out of position and still has to mature as a player. A bit of a birdbrain, that's all.

[Alf]

I still think Anderson could do the business.
i think he has the ability, but i question his attitude, he's had ample amount of chances to command his place, i dont think he's took them. with carrick, fletcher, gibson, scholes and hargreaves to come back, i think he might see the exit door this year.

[setanta]

Yeah, his attitude isn't the best, that's for sure.

Think Hargreaves career could be over to tell you the truth. Very sad.

[King Gizzard]

Hargreaves

England miss Hargreaves

[bbfan1991]

Good ol Cloughie!:).

Another person who likes Celtic here;).

[Alf]

Hargreaves

England miss Hargreaves
miss hargreaves? is that jt's next conquest

[King Gizzard]

lol!!

ah silly jt

[Alf]

capello should have named phil neville as captain, since he has no chance of sleeping with anyones wife.

[King Gizzard]

Tony Hibbert

[Alf]

are you confident for villa tomorrow nath?

[King Gizzard]

I am yes, but when I say I am, we heavily lose

and when I'm really really negative we win (like at united when we won 1-0)


so probably lose

I want dunney to two foot rooney early on

[setanta]

Didn't I tell you at the start of the season that Dunne would be a great purchase for you? Great defender.
