[bbfan1991]

He is barking mad, what rubbish excuses:joker:.

[joeysteele]

One thing for me and that is despite today's unpleasant events with Joey Barton and also some other more minor incidents over the season, albeit by the skin of their teeth, Q.P.R. wothout Barton would not have likely had any chance of survival in the Premier league without Joey playing for them.

Something I hope they will take more notice of than players and other teams jumping in to hammer Barton every chance they get.
I felt he would be a target at Man City today, it is not a good place for him to be, I hope Q.P.R. ignore those against him and still try to get his football do his talking for him as it can and very effectively too.

There's been too many incidents in football where real anger is allowed to take over,by many players. Time referees got into those incidents beofre they escalated.

Punish Barton by all means but I hope Q.P.R stick with him in the end, without him and little prospect of getting other players, they will have no chance next season to stay up,he has been a real workhorse for them on all his really good days,which has been most of the season too.

I was in Dortmund yesterday watching Dortmund v Munich on a big screen in this massive square, such an amazing game, thrashed them 5-2 to win the league/cup double for the first time in BVB's history! So good.

Joey, Joey Barton hasn't had a good season

If anyone it's Cisse and Mackie that have kept them up

Look like Arsenal are promoting Steve Bould from youth team coach to defensive coach. Good news.

Locke obviously finds my question to hard to answer...

[Locke.]

Your question makes no sense

[bbfan1991]

Look like Arsenal are promoting Steve Bould from youth team coach to defensive coach. Good news.

Both United and Arsenal have a certain different area to strengthen on for next season;).

I see it differently Nathan with respect to you, those you mention have played a massive part too, but it is often from the midfield that gets matches won or lost,it's why it's important to have really good midfielders in a team and though you don't agree, to me Joey Barton is an exceptional midfielder.

He has been wrong many times due to his attitude and temper,he was wrong today and he needs heavy lecturing and punishing but when he plays well he is one of the best there is, which when he has played this season he has been in my opinion.

I have been and watched him play many times this season and will do again next season I hope.

I know, different from being so serious:D.

[joeysteele]

He'll be lucky to have a club to play at.

Well,that was said after the very bad incident at Man City, he came back though.
In all honesty had I been the Q.P.R. Manager, I would have kept him as a sub for today's match.

I still like him and support him and today despite his wrongdoing and stupidity,I can still see his worth and talent, so I hope football managers see that as well. I think he will have a club next season, I still think it will be Q.P.R. but Sam Allerdyce for instance is a massive fan of Joey and his skills and he started to do great work with him up North.

I don't think it will be lucky him having a club next season, I think 'a' club if not Q.P.R. will be lucky to have him though.

[tomflint]

Not when we hear it mentioned every time United fans are feeling bitter :pipe:

Bitter? Like when liverpool fans think they have won a trophy everytime manutd don't win the league lol

[bbfan1991]

When can we bring my Transfer Window thread back? Or is there going to be a new one set up?

[joeysteele]

Bet we sign Barton in the summer, team up with Big Sam again

I wouldn't bet against it if he was listed by Q.P.R.
Sam Allerdyce does have a rapport with him and does admire his skills, if any manager could keep his temper in check, it would be Allerdyce. You have given me hope MTVN.

[bbfan1991]

Villarreal are relegated from La Liga:eek:, shocking season for them.

[Locke.]

It really wasn't Bogan's day was it. The first goal should have been disallowed for the foul on him and he didn't even touch Crouch for the penalty

[MTVN]

Yeah he had the ball in two hands on that first goal, both Bolton's goals were quite flukey though

[MTVN]

Fulop :joker: what a shocker he had

[Locke.]

Wonder how much Van Persie will cost City this summer :pipe:

[MTVN]

McLeish says he sees no reason why he won't be Villa manager next season, good stuff

he won't be here next season

[joeysteele]

As a Manager, Shearer made a good few players angry in his very short stint at managing Newcastle by his attitude.
Joey Barton does need to massively curb back on his twitter actions though, it is funny at times but in the end it is counter productive and takes attention away from his football efforts when he is on form.

I did chuckle though at the way he started as to Shearer then got more agitated as others have pointed out above.

Shearer on Strikers perceptions used to elbow or nudge opponents when there was a sniff of a chance and goal.

Girth do you reckon Arsenal need another Defender? I do...Yeah. One defender to possibly start or for cover and we need cover at the full back positions.

Shearers just a bell end all round. And selfish as Barton pointed out. He's got no right to be on TV and is a case of a pundit who is only there because of who he is His punditry is terrible and it basically amounts to him describing what happened with little or no insight into the subtleties of the play. 'He ran down the wing crossed it and the striker knocked it in. He'll be delighted with that'. *yawn*

Disagree with 2. Whilst Ashley Cole clearly did well, Drogba scored the most important goal - just in time as well. I didn't think they'd do it.

Davey Cameron is loving it

Yup. Straight in.

[Locke.]

Only just remembered Paddy Power had a money back special if Chelsea won the trophy, good times

[Novo]

Okay, fair enough, but come on. Who was expecting Chelsea to pull out of the hat that sort of thing? I'm actually stunned - didn't know they had it in them.

Drogba might have scored the winning goal but he didn't have much else to do all game really, held the ball up well up front from time to time, Ashley Cole was everywhere in defence, limited Bayern to very few goal scoring chances and made vital blocks and tackles all the time, probably the best Left back in the world when it comes to Big Games you'd have him over everyone

Through gritted teeth well done to Chelsea, as Gary Neville says it was written in the stars for them after the Napoli and Barcelona matches.

Some booze soon cheered me up last night;).

Fernando Torres has been speaking about his Chelsea future, some of the quotes are here:

https://twitter.com/#!/GuillemBalague

Surprised he has said this the day after his club won the Champions League when he should be celebrating?

[bbfan1991]

That said I do feel sorry for him!

[Locke.]

"I'm not happy. Now the season is finished we will have more talks to see what happens in the future because this is not the role for which I came," says Spaniard

They refused him the option of taking a penalty in the shoot out.

[bbfan1991]

What a troll Eden Hazard is!:laugh3:

[MTVN]

What did he do?

[bbfan1991]

He said on Twitter he was going to announce his future after Lille's match today, and then after a 30 minute goodbye stroll around the pitch and into interview he said he had great offers from Manchester and Chelsea but has not made his mind up yet:joker:.

He is off to play with Belgium soon and is going on holiday too.

[bbfan1991]

Congratulations to Napoli for winning the Coppa Italia by beating Juventus 2-0:hugesmile:.

Well done to Montpellier who held off money bags PSG to win the Ligue 1 title, although the Auxerre fans went crazy in their match against Montpellier protesting about the clubs relegation and the match had to be called off for a bit, when restarted Montpellier scored a late goal to confirm their first ever title win:).

[bbfan1991]

Hazard quote on French TV:

"I've not decided yet... and I will go on holiday after I play for Belgium, but we don't play in Poland so I will sort my future after"

[bbfan1991]

Since last summer, Montpellier have spent €2 million on transfers. PSG have spent €106 million.

Wow!:eek:

[Samuel.]

Time for Rafa to be given a contract, and for Torres to be brought home :idc:

[bbfan1991]

Didier Drogba has confirmed he is leaving Chelsea. I wonder where he will go now?

[MTVN]

America or China I bet

[Locke.]

Best news I've heard all day

[bbfan1991]

Shanghai Shenhua are the bookies favourites to sign Drogba.

Been a hardcore fan of football my entire life, but hardly ever use this thread. Strange. Anyway, anyone who doesn't think Drogba will be a big loss to Chelsea is kidding themselves. I suppose they still have the rest, particularly Ashley Cole, though, but still.

We've released Faye, Faubert, Carew, and Diop, not surprised at any of them really, Faye's been useful this season but he's getting on now and won't be able to compete in the prem

Haha what a legend, when's that pic from? Might have that after I get bored of Andrew Neill

Those shades and watch are amazing

[King Gizzard]

Don't know, found it while I was googling to see why Richard Keys and Karen Brady didn't get on Lol

[Jesus.]

He looks young. It's either from Notts County, or Blackpool, I'd guess.

Never a dull moment in the life of Big Sam

Big Sam apparently did not like Phil Jones, well that is according to Kean.

West Ham want to sign Joe Cole according to the press, although Lille want to keep him on loan for another season after he impressed them.

[Locke.]

Good old West Ham coming to the rescue

[bbfan1991]

I like Karren Brady despite the stick she gets from some quarters:blush:.

[bbfan1991]

Dave Whelan is a good man, he told Antonio Valencia to reject Bayern Munich and Real Madrid to sign for United;).

AV had already rejected a chance to sign for Madrid not long after he joined Wigan too because he was happy in England!

[MTVN]

It would be quite nice to have Cole back actually, he's shown he still has a fair bit of ability this year, David Gold has said it isn't likely to happen though

And Karren Brady is a horrible woman

[Locke.]

Gets out of breath too quickly, 10 minutes running up the pitch and he is ****ed... needs to stop smoking

[bbfan1991]

It is interesting to see Jurgen Klopp's odds to manage Liverpool shortening, whilst Liverpool are a bigger club than Borussia Dortmund his current Dortmund squad he is in charge of atm is exciting because it is young and they will add a few more players to defend their Bundesliga title/cup next season and compete in the Champions League..

[MTVN]

Didn't know he smoked, pretty stupid when you're trying to compete at that level

[bbfan1991]

Rooney smokes:D.

Scotland centre-back Christophe Berra has defended the right of his team-mates to represent Team GB this summer.
The Scottish Football Association cannot prevent Scots' participation but hopes players will refuse to play to safeguard the Scotland team's identity.
"The Olympics are one of the biggest events in the world," said Berra, in Florida with the Scotland squad.
"I think anyone who had the opportunity to play there and represent their country would be mad to turn it down."


Good old Berra the SFA can go and die

Really looking forward to the Norway v England game always like the pre tournament friendlies
