English Football Thread! 2007-2008 Season

[Old Manus]

Heart pumping 3 times normal speed


EDIT: landed.

[Heath]

Disappointed with the loss today. Don't think either team played very well. I would've happily taken a 0-0 draw because it would've guaranteed us fifth place. We can't afford to lose to Newcastle because I'm not confident that West Ham can avoid defeat against Villa. I would be incredibly disappointed if we missed out on Europe considered how well we did in the UEFA Cup this season.

I'm looking forward to the transfer window because word is that Moyes has been stalling on signing his new contract in order to get more spending money in the summer. I don't think we were ready for 4th place this season but it could've conceivably been ours, but with a bit of luck next season it might. But I certainly wouldn't bet on it.

[Jess]

We can't afford to lose to Newcastle because I'm not confident that West Ham can avoid defeat against Villa.
I hope that we put on a good show!

I think Keegan was completely right in what he said about how hard it would be to break the top four - I can't believe he had to have a meeting about it with Ashley! The media asked him what the aim for Newcastle was next season and he said "fifth", and as a Newcastle fan I don't even expect that. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to get that high in the league but... unless the squad improves massively over the summer even that isn't going to happen. A lot of my friends (not Newcastle fans!) think we will get 5th next season but I think it is a ridiculous thing to expect. Our squad isn't strong enough - and Mike Ashley and his 'crew' don't even seem to be trying much to keep the best players of our team and extend their contracts. How can we attract great players when we can't even keep our best, and when we're not challenging in Europe? Oh well, we'll see over the summer, eh? ;)

I'm excited for the last day of the season! :excited: but I'm also sad because England aren't in the Euro's. :(

[Psychotic]

I think Fernando Torres should have won player of the year and not Cristiano Ronaldo. This is partially because I am extremely biased, but I have logic too. Ronaldo's had a better season than Torres, yes, but this is his what, 4th or 5th year in England? This is Torres's first, and he has scored 32 goals. If you look at Ronaldo's first year, well, he was a big pile of wank who couldn't cross the ball for :skull::skull::skull::skull:, whereas Torres has been immense. Either way it is not that big of a deal. Hopefully Nando will be scoring an insane amount of goals in a few years time.

[Heath]

We trashed Sunderland 7-1 for you. The least you can do is give us a point so we can finish 5th.

[Jess]

I dreamt that we won 2-0 :laugh: but I doubt that'll happen. I'm interested to see how Andy Carroll does as he is in the starting eleven - and I'm happy to see N'Zogbia in the line up although he'll probably leave for Arsenal in the summer. He is a quality creative player and we lack thatt, and it's sad that he's been played out of position most of the season when he has been played. I wonder if Owen will leave us for Man United in the summer...and where the crap is Oba today?

...The smoggies are beating Man City? ...and Benjani Mwaruwari has been subbed off? Oh Benjani! :(

Edit: Haha, yeah. 1-0 to Everton. Dream you lie!

Edit 2: Okay so Ronaldo is now tied with Shearer on most goals in a season. NOW I HOPE HE GETS INJURED SO HE DOESN'T BEAT IT (well, okay I don't but I still hope he doesn't score again!). Anybody, anybody but him. Plus, come on Wigan! I want the lesser of two evils to win the premiership. :(

[Heath]

Man, no streams or radio commentary. I'm stuck listening to Score. Still, results are going our way at the moment so I can't complain.

[Jess]

Yesssssssssssssss! 1-1. :jess:

[Heath]

Man, no streams or radio commentary. I'm stuck listening to Score. Still, results are going our way at the moment so I can't complain.

Actually, yes, I can. For god's sake, Everton, just score.

Edit: Oh Joleon Lescott, you beautiful, beautiful man. 2-1!

[Jess]

....Beautiful? Have you SEEN that mans hair?!

Oh my lord. 5-0 to the smoggies? Hahahahahaha. xD

Six...SIX-NIL? I didn't think it was even possible to lose 6-0 to Boro.

[Heath]

6-0.

I'm sorry Dan xD

[Jess]

7-0. I'm not sorry Dan. :laugh:

...8-1. How embarrassing. xDDD

3-1 full time for Everton. I don't really mind, we had nothing to play for anyway. I was hoping to see Andy the giant score a goal, though. I can't wait for MoTD. :jess:

[Cz]

I'd like to think that was Sven's parting gift to Shinawatra. Or maybe the players decided to suck in protest.

Anyway, bad news about Birmingham, but good news about Fulham. Bad (ish) news about United, but good (ish) news for Ryan Giggs. And a pleasing result for us on the last day of the season, but oh, unbearable unbearable torment that Havard Nordtveit was on the bench but didn't play.

Only the cup final left to care about now. Kanu to win the cup for Portsmouth please. :up:

[Jess]

I bet Sven wishes he got the sack before todays match. :laugh:

I'm happy Ronaldo didn't beat Shearer's record. I know somebody has to do it someday but as long as it's not him I'll be happy. Now, I hope Chelsea beat United in the Champions League.

Also, I can't help but find it hilarious that the likes of Darren Fletcher has two Premier League Champions medals. :lol:

[Psychotic]

Hey cool Andriy Voronin scored come on guys lets get excited about that.

[Heath]

Hey cool Andriy Voronin scored come on guys lets get excited about that.

It's such a momentous occasion it's hard not to be. Typical biased Evertonian-ness aside, I've always thought Voronin looked rather tame and prone to messing up attacks, ruining the flow of your attack and never understood why he was played ahead of Crouch. I've had a go at Crouch in the past, but I accept he scores goals, whereas Voronin doesn't seem to.

[Psychotic]

Well, he was good for the first month of the season where he scored something like four goals. Then he just...well...meh.

[Cz]

Everyone knows Andriy's only there to bring some style to the dressing room.

[Rocket Edge]

CHAMPIONS AGAIN!! ;D

I guess we should probably talk about cricket or something now. Personally I like Hampshire this year, how about you guys? :greenie:

I don't understand Criket.

I seen a wicket, but turned off the TV cos' I couldn't stick it.

[Cz]

So I appreciate a good fine leg, how about the rest of you?

[DK]

b..but, this thread is about a beautiful game. I don't want you to taint it with your cricket lark!

the irony is cricket is an infinitely more beautiful game than football, in an aesthetical sense, or any other manner you care to mention for that matter. in fact the aesthetics of it are probably the most easy thing for nubs to pick up on.

either way, you're dumb and a woman so no one cares about your opinions so go and bake a cake :kiss:

Skrtel could have Vidic in a fist fight.

[Loony BoB]

Ronaldo could beat up half the Liverpool squad, but that doesn't make him look any less like a prettyboy. Skrtel looks like he wears lipstick, his face always bugged me.

Vidic could probably still take him, though. :D Unless it's a "first blood" contest, as Vidic bleeds when you so much as touch his nose.

EDIT: Also, in a very late response to Jess' earlier post, Fletcher has actually been really good this season. Probably wouldn't have slaughtered Arsenal by more than a goal without him in the FA Cup.

[Psychotic]

Carra could batter the entire Man Utd squad in a 30 vs 1 fight if needs be, but that's hardly the point.

[DK]

Paulo Wanchope would kill all of them so the discussion is pointless.

[Psychotic]

I always liked Uwe Rosler more.

[DK]

That's neither here nor there, Paulo Wanchope is god.

edit: I think we should keep this thread alive as long as we can. Keeping in line with the favourite/preferred players thing, who are everyones favourite members on this here forum?

Personally endorse Shiny and I Took the Red Pill, both guns. And Miriel, she gives me the horn.

[Psychotic]

I can't be the only one who has suspicions that she beats up Del Murder.

[Cz]

I'm still waiting for the mainstream to co-opt Sephiroth1999AD, but until then he's got to be near the top of my list.

[DK]

I can't be the only one who has suspicions that she beats up Del Murder.

I can't be the only one who would enjoy being in his position :freak:

[Rocket Edge]

Skrtel looks like he has a big X on his face.

[Jimsour]

Sunday was probably the most difficult day in my life as a city fan :(

united win the league and lickle city be typical.

[Psychotic]

I'm glad Portsmouth won. No bloody Welshmen are getting their hands on our FA Cup. Well, except lovely Ian Rush. :love:

[Cz]

Agreed. Kanu's happiness is my happiness.

It wasn't the best final, but at least it was possible to get excited about the outcome this time. Portsmouth are a likeable bunch, so I'm happy to see them earn some silverware. Now there's just the painful spectacle of the CL to get through, and we can start getting excited about the European Championships and transfer nonsense. Hooray! :greenie:

[Serapy]

Gooray to Man Utd for winning the premier league title.

Can't wait to watch the final game tomorrow, should be an incredible match! :)

[Heath]

Can't wait to watch the final game tomorrow, should be an incredible match! :)

The play-off final isn't until Saturday :confused:

[Croyles]

Red card Drogba, whoops.
This looks like its going into penalties, which is annoying.

[Old Manus]

i'm going to have a heart attack

[Jess]

oh for fucks sake.

[Old Manus]

i am a broken man

[DK]

Haha, Chelsea fail at life, Ronaldo misses a penalty, I love it. Best result.

[Jess]

The best result would have been Ronaldo losing the game for United. Them winning makes him missing the penalty not so bad. :(

[I Don't Need A Name]

The double :up:
im quite a happy bunny now! =]
i feel sorry for terry, and ronaldo is a tit, but woohoo
european champs :bigbiggri

[Heath]

Avram looked like he was walking to his own execution there. Yipes.

[Blue Harvest]

Man Utd rule, Chelsea suck. 'nuff said.

[DK]

The best result would have been Ronaldo losing the game for United. Them winning makes him missing the penalty not so bad. :(

I would have agreed if it wasn't John Terry that lost it for Chelsea, but that's almost as beautiful.

[Jimsour]

I fely sympathy for John Terry. He knew the second his arse hit the ground he fucked up, after it you could see how mortified he was.

Anelka misses and doesnt look like he gave a :skull::skull::skull::skull:e, he's screwed a lot of clubs over the years trying to get to the champions league and he fucks it up.

[Serapy]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!

Double again FTW.

:D:D:D:D:D:D

I feel sorry for you people, hoping that Chelsea would win in the first place!

Man Utd and Chelsea have played very well, but obviously Man Utd was the better team and that's how they have won the title last night.

[Cz]

At least it was an exciting game this time. And if one of them had to win, it might as well have caused the other lot as much heartbreak as possible.

Anyway, glad that this awful few months are finally over and done with. I'm looking forward to the playoff final and the internationals now, as well as the prospect of a work-permitted Carlos Vela next season. :D

[Jimsour]

My beloved Celtic have won the SPL!

And its always good to see a City player (Samaras) enjoying success.

[Serapy]

I'm quite speechless about the decision of sacking Avram Grant...

[Psychotic]

Quite excited that we will have Stoke and Hull in the Premiership next season. I love it when new teams come up.

[DK]

Dean Windass back in the premiership :love: :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

[Rocket Edge]

I'm delighted for United, but I did feel sorry for John Terry, would have much prefered it to be someone like Ashley Cole.

Hey.. has anyone heard of Jean Carlos Chera (http://youtube.com/watch?v=JCh_R_DM9wU)? He appears to be the second coming of Pele! The kid is seriously unbelieveable! Real Madrid & Man United are chasing him already.

[Loony BoB]

Given that nothing at all shows up when searching Google News for that name, he can't be that big a deal. A "new Pele" comes up every other month these days, anyway.

[The Captain]

After watching a meaningless match, I think a few things are quite obvious:

Rooney is still a bit too much of a firebrand to be Captain. Honestly, I think he has the intensity to lead, but he's only 22, and with those late tackles, is still too green. You can't be a leader and always be on the verge of being red carded. I'm not a big John Terry fan, and still think that Gerrard, or my darkhorse Hargreaves would make a better captain, but according to a bunch of news sources, Terry is back as the front-runner. In all honesty, is this really even that big a deal?

Lampard is the weak link in midfield by far. Barry, Hargreaves and Gerrard were all great and all three should be starting. It's something that has been bugging me a lot lately, because it seems obvious to me that Lampard doesn't fit, since he is a one dimensional player, offense and no defense. Gerrard can wander, but he is an all-around player and if the debate is between which stays and goes, Lampard needs to go. Barry is too steady to be left off and Hargreaves is a big presence in the middle.

Beckham can still cross a ball, but what else can he do? Granted, that's still a weapon, but in open play, I'm not sure if the team can use him for a full 90 minutes. Bentley is good and can strike a ball nearly as clean as Becks, but I think he needs to be tested a lot more.

I thought Defoe did okay, but he needs to put those goals in if he wants to play striker. I counted at least three times when he should have scored, and all three times he either missed or shot at the goalie. I liked his energy and creativity though and thought he, Rooney and Gerrard matched well together. I also think Crouch is effective, especially as a change of pace from a Defoe or Owen, going from speed to a rangy player.

In the next friendly, I think Capello should try some fresh faces. I want to see what Ashton can do, for one thing.

Overall, I think the game didn't reveal much, especially because so many players are still in flux: Where will Joe Cole fit in? Can Becks really stick around for the next few years? Can Gerrard play on the left?

I think it would be interesting to try some new formations as well:

Rooney Defoe
(Crouch or Owen or even Ashton at some point)

Joe Cole Gerrard Beckham
(Bentley on at some point)

Barry Hargreaves
(Bring in Lampard for PK's if you want)

Ferdinand Terry Ashely Cole
(Glen Johnson, or Wes Brown)

James

I think this could provide more offense and some flair while still having two holding midfielders to support, but Capello would never go for something like this, would he?

And as for the US, we have a lot of work to do. There were moments, but we lack a real game-changer, like Stevie G.

Freddy Adu is green and I'm not convinced yet but maybe in time. Donovan is okay, but he's way over hyped. Dempsey can play but not alone. It's too bad Brian McBride no longer wants to play for the USA because we could use his courage, and moxie.


Take care all.

[Psychotic]

Given that nothing at all shows up when searching Google News for that name, he can't be that big a deal. A "new Pele" comes up every other month these days, anyway.Or a "new Maradona" if he's Argentinian.

I agree with what The Captain's said about England. We can't keep relying on Beckham's dead ball ability anymore. Find new alternative strategies for scoring because against good teams they'll just head the ball away all day long.

I still think Stevie G should be captain and Rio vice captain but I've been saying that for months so eh.

That formation looks okay to me, except you'd need Ashley Cole on the left, and I suppose Barry can cover for him when he goes forward.
