Talk Football Here... - Part 5

The Premier League has sent a letter warning top-flight clubs to be vigilant about possible betting scams at academy level matches, BBC Sport understands.

The League's general secretary Mike Foster revealed that suspected overseas betting syndicates have been receiving details of matches on mobile phones.

In one case, a man challenged at an under-18 match admitted he was working for an organisation in Hong Kong.

The Premier League says it wants to stamp out illegal betting.

And it is asking clubs to look out for strangers who are constantly using mobile phones during play.

Liverpool are the club reported by Crewe over an alleged illegal approach to sign a player from their academy, BBC Radio Stoke understands.

Crewe's director of football Dario Gradi revealed on Monday his club had made the complaint and the player in question is 15-year-old Max Clayton.

Liverpool were linked with Clayton in February 2008 and were willing to pay a six-figure sum to take him to Anfield.

Liverpool told BBC Sport they had no comment to make.

Crewe rejected Liverpool's initial approach for Clayton, but Gradi says the teenager now wants to leave the League Two outfit.

He told the Daily Express: "Max has come in and told us that he wants to leave right now to join a big club.

"You worry financially for the clubs where the players are stolen from

[Johann]

Not very wise.

Italy are overrated; will be either Spain or Brazil I think - and if Argentina get through which they should then I wouldnt rule them out either. We will be there or thereabout as well.

Ex-Arsenal Star Freddie Ljungberg Addresses Premier League Rumours
Seattle Sounders' Swede has not ruled out England return...

Former Arsenal winger Freddie Ljungberg is under contract with the Seattle Sounders through the 2010 season, but has the rumour mill churning with a recent visit to London in which he reportedly met with representatives from the Emirates.

The 32-year-old has kept quiet about speculation that he is seeking an loan to the Premier League during the MLS off-season, and responded equivocally when pressed on the issue.

"I haven't decided what I want to do," he said.

Ljungberg has adapted well to the MLS, being named captain in the 2009 league all-star star game against Everton, and endeared himself to local press.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer wrote: "The marquee player for America's nouveau soccer sensation, Seattle Sounders FC, Ljungberg has been the perfect player, the perfect personality, exactly the right choice, to sell the game and sell this team to this city."

New Bordeaux deal for Chamakh will encourage Arsenal, West Ham
09.09.09 | tribalfootball.com

An new contract for Marouane Chamakh may make it easier for the striker to leave Bordeaux, it has been revealed.

Chamakh was priced out of moves to Arsenal and West Ham United in the summer, though both Premiership clubs are ready to try again in January.

Bordeaux intend to offer the Morocco international a new deal through to 2012, but it will include an affordable buyout clause should Chamakh still be determined to leave.

[King Gizzard]

I said it before but no one seemed to pay attention..you should all adopt Seattle Sounders as your MLS club

Arsenal's Fran Mérida sets his sights on a first-team place
Arsenal teenager Fran Mérida has set his sights on regular first-team football at the Emirates after revealing he turned down the chance of a loan move to Spain with Levante.

The 19-year-old Spain youth international joined Arsenal from Barcelona's academy in September 2005 - a move which proved controversial and resulted in legal action being taken against the player for compensation.

Since then, Mérida has looked to gain experience at Real Sociedad before returning to Arsenal and making his Premier League debut.

After impressing in the pre-season Emirates Cup and coming off the bench in the 4-1 win over Portsmouth last month, Mérida hopes this can be his breakthrough campaign and intends to repay the faith shown by manager Arsène Wenger.

"I am 100% staying," Mérida said. "It is true that I had an option to go out on loan. But I, the boss, my agent and my family decided that the best thing for me is to stay here. The boss told me he believes in me, and the only thing I can do now is prove it on the pitch and repay that faith.

"My target is to help as much as possible to get trophies. I truly believe we have a fantastic chance. We have started well; we must keep that going, because we haven't done anything yet."


He will be good (=
I guarantee it. The next Fabregas.

Arsenal’s Bendtner targets 20 goals
09.09.09 | Andrew Slevison

Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner understands he will need to score more goals to be rated in the top class.

The Denmark international has been praised for his all-around game but has come under scrutiny for his lack of goals and he plans to fix that this season.

"In order to qualify as one of the world's greatest attackers, then you are judged on the number of goals you score," Bendtner told Politiken.

"You could have all the characteristics but if you don't score people can say "Yes, he knows all the stuff but he has just scored 10 goals in 40 games.’

"Of course that's not a good record. I hope to see that I score 20-25 goals in 40 games.

"If I get a Premier League season where I score 10 times and have 30 assists, I think that would be OK as well."



Hes Crazy.

Arshavin set to anger Arsenal by playing for Russia tonight

Arsenal playmaker Andrey Arshavin is set to risk the wrath of Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger tonight, by playing for Russia against Wales in a crucial World Cup qualifier.

The former Zenit St Petersburg star missed the match with Liechtenstein on Saturday due to a groin problem picked up in Arsenal’s last Premier League match at Manchester United.

Arshavin trained yesterday at the Millenium Stadium and Russia coach Guus Hiddink said: "Andrey has done everything he has had to do. At the moment, there is no big problem. There should be no worry. He will take a responsible decision if he cannot play. But he would like to play."

Hiddink added: "When you are not almost fully recovered you normally get a reaction. But he hasn't had one so far."

Arsene Wenger will be hoping Arshavin is fit for the trip to Manchester City on Saturday. So far this season the 28-year-old midfielder has scored two goals in five games in the Premier League and Champions League.

[Novo]

Russia wont need him

They will destroy wales without him

[30stone]

Probably.. yeah lol..

Old Ramsey will have a great game against russia tho

[Novo]

Poor ramsey will be played off the pitch

[30stone]

Everton wanted Ramsey but he signed for Arsenal :wavey:

[Novo]

[30stone]

Ramsey is better.

Though i like gosling on the goal against liverpool.

[Novo]

Gosling will be in Englands 2014 world cup winning side

[King Gizzard]

Delph is better than all of them

[Novo]

Gosling is even better then him

We destroyed tonight.


But i think if we were playing spain or brazil, it wouldn't have gone the same we were very open at the back and very lax at the start of the second half.


We had a good day, the shots were just going in.

Heskey was **** as was barry :thumbs:

[King Gizzard]

i use to be like barry should start! now im like carrick should start lol


carrick is a better player

[30stone]

Yeah for sure, Carick would be safer as defensive midfield doesn't make many mistakes..

[King Gizzard]

if hargreaves can get fit, he ll be back in the frame i suppose. Dont know if i see him getting back in the manure team though

im still surprised we have no manure fans on here lol

Look how many amazing players there are there.

The whole of the first team are all amazing and a bench like that...
They should be an amaing team not sure why they are so average.

[Jayson]

They never perform well in the WC though.

I remember in 2002 they were eliminated in the group stages by Senegal :joker:


But yeah, they have an immense team sheet.

[30stone]

Yeah Denmark went through above them that year aswell i think.

And yeah with a team sheet like that they should be rivaling the likes of england.. brazil and spain..

[King Gizzard]

gignac in midfield? hes an out and out striker


the world cup wont be the same without the argies...and teams like north and south korea are going through

[King Gizzard]

veron sent off (second yellow)

[Johann]

Sort yourself out Argentina!! FFS

[King Gizzard]

they just dont work for maradona..theyre just too scared to sack him cause he is god in argentina

[30stone]

Denmark are going to be a tough challenge for people i think, Likely to finish above Sweden and Portugal..
Surprising as their 2 strikers with 3 and 5 goals.. bendtner and Larsen.. Bendtner well we know what hes like and Larsen plays for MSV Duisburg .. ( german second league )



And yeah i dont understand that..
Gignac in midfield? i think id start him over Anelka as hes a very talented goal scorer real box player.

[Johann]

this whole thing reminds me of Newcastle, hire a the hero of the club/country to be manager who has absolutely NO managerial skills. This is what you get.

[30stone]

gignac in midfield? hes an out and out striker


the world cup wont be the same without the argies...and teams like north and south korea are going through

Actually saying that henry could have been played in midfield as i tried to re arange it...

Evra was in striker position with toulalon..
And henry and anelka in midfield
With L Diarra in defence

dont konw why sky has it down like that

[King Gizzard]

this whole thing reminds me of Newcastle, hire a the hero of the club/country to be manager who has absolutely NO managerial skills. This is what you get.

Barcelona are looking to make a move for Robinho in the January transfer market..
But Man city have said they would want Thierry henry for Robinho.

Imo, Henry is still a much better player.. but Robinho is 7 years younger.

Man City with Adebayor and Thierry henry up front would be amazing... both would score a lot and obviously know eachother well as henry tutored adebayor.

[King Gizzard]

robinhos temperament and attitude lets him down

[30stone]

I think overall even at 32 Henry is still a better player..
I think barca want to offer 35m if they dont then it will be henry + money.




And

England have got one big date in the diary already ahead of next summer's World Cup finals - against Brazil in Qatar in a money-spinning friendly.

The FA are set to confirm within the next 48 hours that they will play the Brazilians on November 14.

That will earn the FA in excess of an estimated £1million but also provide Fabio Capello’s men with a good test - even if the venue is unlikely to impress Premier League managers in the middle of a gruelling season.

England will also look to confirm a friendly in March against a team from one of the confederations they will face in their World Cup Group. Plus, a friendly at Wembley in May is likely to be organised.

Capello will take his players to an end-of-season training camp in Innsbruck, Austria, to help them acclimatise to the higher altitude for South Africa. They are also likely to play a friendly there before jetting to the World Cup.

[King Gizzard]

pointless friendly..but no doubt all the players will get paid mega bucks along with staff and the fa

[30stone]

I don't think its pointless, it gives us a chance to face some proper competition as other than croatia our group is full of poor teams.
Will be a hard challeneg for england..

And remember the players wages for all international games go to charity..

[King Gizzard]

yeah but not the money they get from the arabs

[King Gizzard]

1-0 FT

Paraguay qualify for the world cup

Argentina are doomed and face a near impossible task to qualify

[30stone]

What would they have to do to qualify?

[King Gizzard]

erm i think they have to beat peru...and have to beat uruguay..and maybe other results go there way i think

[King Gizzard]

brazil v chile K.O

[King Gizzard]

Dani Alves has had his ears pinned back :joker: they look worse than before

[Dolphin-and-Whale]

Maradonna is insane, He's used 64 players in 9 games:joker:.

Zabaleta-Garay-Samuel-Insua
--Cambiasso--Lucho---
--Zarate--Riquelme--Higuain--
----------Lisandro----------------

and they're not even in the squad.

[30stone]

It's not so bad

In the league the top 3 clubs qualify.. and the 4th an 5th go into a play off.. and 1 will go through.

Currently the table is..

Brazil 15 games 30 points
Paraguay 16 games 30 points
Chile 15 games 27 points
Ecuador 16 games 23
Argentina 16 games 22 points

So if they were to win 3/4 they would be in..

If they can just keep 5th away from 6th place Uruguay who are only 1 point behind.. then they get play offs..

[King Gizzard]

damn..south americans have got it easy

[Dolphin-and-Whale]

30 Stone, the top 4 go through and then 5th play off against 4th place from Central and North America so 5th place team should qualify

[Dolphin-and-Whale]

Your man Cabanas for Paraguay is a very good player

[30stone]

I think Argentina could still do it...

I think 2 wins would guarantee group stage pretty much...

Thomas Vermaelen has been named the EA SPORTS Player of the Month for August.

The Belgian defender scooped the official Club prize after a string of powerful performances at the heart of the Arsenal back four.

Thomas made a dream debut at Goodison Park, heading home Robin van Persie's free-kick to give Arsenal a two-goal lead. They went on to win 6-1 as the new boy adapted quickly to English football.

The summer signing from Ajax was just as impressive at Celtic in the Champions League, making a number of timely blocks and interceptions while developing a strong partnership with William Gallas.

Thomas' standards remained high in his three other August games against Portsmouth, Celtic and Manchester United and he has been recognised by the Arsenal fans with 34.9 per cent of the votes cast.

Gallas, who scored three goals last month, finished second in our poll with 22.5 per cent. Andrey Arshavin was third.



And Arshavin is injured and Wenger is pisssedddd!

Woohoo! We're in the World Cup!
2010 should be a great summer, World Cup, BB11, great weather, women, beer, bbq's... Pukka!

Former England striker Teddy Sheringham has come out of retirement to play for Kent League side Beckenham Town in their FA Vase campaign.

The 43-year-old, whose previous clubs include Millwall, Tottenham and Manchester United, ended his career after a spell at Colchester last year.

He will make his comeback against Combined Counties League side Banstead Athletic on Saturday, 19 September.

Sheringham and his son Charlie played in a recent fund raising game.

Sheringham, who also played for Aldershot, Nottingham Forest, Portsmouth and West Ham, made 908 club appearances, scoring 350 goals and netted 11 times in 51 England appearances.

Yeah african players come to england because they have talent and they want good money..

They wouldnt get that in their own..

[King Gizzard]

it should be down to the player really, they should be allowed to move, afterall, its there future, would you rather be at lens where the training and education is not even half of what you would get at chelsea?

[Johann]

I knew Arshavin would get injured - why the **** did he play 90mins yesterday?!! aghhhh :mad:

[Johann]

Its always one out, one in for us. We can just never have everyone return all at once.

[30stone]

Nope we never ever have our best squad.

Hope Rosicky is fit at least until Arshavin is back.

[30stone]

The sure wins for the first game...

Atletico Madrid v Apoel Nicosia
Besiktas v Man Utd

FC Zurich v Real Madrid
Maccabi Haifa v Bayern Munich

Liverpool v Debrecen
Sevilla v Unirea Urziceni

Standard Liege v Arsenal

For Fantasy league / Prediction games..
These are the teams (in bold) that i think will win for sure, on paper they should at least.

[Novo]

Rangers can't do jack sh*t!



Rangers are far superior to liverpool

Thats just life...

Yes ben

[King Gizzard]

then theres some threads that could just be put into here

[30stone]

Thats why i think we need a football sub forum.

As people think it would be unfair to unsticky like boxing thread..

[King Gizzard]

this may be offensive to some but if we had a football sub forum we could have loads of different threads, and then it might be easier to find posts, and more organised

[30stone]

Yeah for sure.

and if football games aren't stickied..
then i forget about them unless they are bumped.

Especially with no top 25.

[Brad.]

Much better

I am with you on this andy :thumbs:

rangers are the best team in scotland by far

[King Gizzard]

Obviously not

[Brad.]

A football forum/sub-forum would be sensible but the admins dont seem to like change.. :bored:

[Novo]

Obviously not

Don't be so silly

[King Gizzard]

Obviously not

Don't be so truthful




never a truer word said andy

[30stone]

This will be all up and running tomorrow!

[Johann]

Thank goodness, i felt as if the season had ended again.

[King Gizzard]

and i have to wait another day for it

[Johann]

Just think, when our games are done you have something to look forward to whilst we have nothing :hello:

[30stone]

**** i havent done my fantasy team still have arshaving in some...

and other injured players..

[King Gizzard]

but then you have europe a couple days later unlike us lol

[Johann]

Oh yea, we do........:joker::joker::joker:

[30stone]

We shall win that.

Bendtner will score :thumbs:

[Locke.]

Adebayor x2 and Robinho x1 against arsenal :dance:

[30stone]

Isn't robinho injured or at least a doubt?

[30stone]

Ohhh and we will win.

We have our play maker fabregas back.

[King Gizzard]

tevez and robinho are out :joker:

[Johann]

Im glad - specially Robinho. He ripped us a new one last season.

[30stone]

He was poor in the match at emirates though.

[30stone]

Chelsea Stoke
Tottenham Man Utd
Arsenal City

Some big games.

[30stone]

Rangers 0 - 0 at half time.. they need a goal or 2.

[30stone]

Last 24 games between man city and arsenal.

Arsenal have only lost 2 games.

[Jayson]

Arsenal will win today.

2-1 at least :blush:

[30stone]

Thats what i think.

First goal.. then we will get 1 or 2 more i think

[30stone]

Don't believe liverpool fans are complaining about the money they have spent.

They spent over 38million this season.

[Jayson]

I'm reckoning on...

Van Persie = 1-0 Arsenal

Santa Cruz = 1-1

Diaby/Eduardo - 2-1 Arsenal

[30stone]

Fabregas is back remember :wavey:

And im surprised AZ Alkmaar will be quite a hard challenge for us.

They have played 5 games and top of the Dutch Eredivsie with 12 points.

Teams like
PSV
Ajax
Twente
Feyenoord

are all below them

and olympiacos have only had 1 game so its hard to tell but they have won it..

Where as Standard Liege who we play first.. are 7th havent lost in 5 games, but have only won once.

[King Gizzard]
