English Football Thread! 2007-2008 Season

[Resha]

Makeshift defender --> makeshift defense, now :-( And it's showing; the occasional gaping holes and terrifyingly Man City might just break and score, like they've looked to do :O But I hope Sagna's injury isn't too bad. I think the man's a genius and I love him.

In the meantime oh <3 we're playing so beautifully; and were especially towards the end of that first half. A tiny (very tiny) part of me almost doesn't mind about the not scoring, just because it's so smooth and intercepty. But score ffs

[charliepanayi]

Well we did score...eventually. 7 points from 9, so can't complain there, but the next two games against Portsmouth and Spurs will be tricky ones. I'm still not too sure how to read our prospects at the moment. I do love Fabregas though.

A win at last for the bees, and mousinho's first goal. I'm very happy, not sure when the last time we won was!

[Psychotic]

Come on everybody, let's have a Man Utd are in the relegation zone party! :strut:

[Loony BoB]

Shut up! If we win by three goals, we'll almost be in UEFA Cup territory!

I'd love Manchester United to have a decade like Everton had in the 1990s. Actually, I'd rather Liverpool had it, but I can dream, can't I?

Decent result against Blackburn but the game could've went either way really. Our first half performance was generally poor after we conceded but I think our second half was rather good. I'll be happier when we have Fernandes in the mix and when Baines, Yobo, Lescott and Hibbert makes up our defence.

[charliepanayi]

I'm still just old enough to remember when Man Utd were rubbish pre-1992, I cling on to that memory! Mind you, I can remember Arsenal finishing 13th in 1995 so nostalgia isn't always good...

[Psychotic]

13th? Wow, in the wonderfully dark days of Graeme Souness as manager, I think 8th was as low as we got.

[charliepanayi]

It was only one season! We finished 10th in 1993 but won both cups that year so it wasn't too bad overall. That's the only two times so far we've been below 6th since I started supporting Arsenal in 1989 or so.

[Heath]

We've never been below 17th

[blim]

We havent been in the top flight since the thirties

1995...Stewart Houston...Nayim...

Gah. Football nostalgia doesn't get good for me until about 1998. Although I guess I was alive for the Michael Thomas incident, which I like to think I appreciated, even though I couldn't hold myself upright.

[Rocket Edge]

NAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!

[Psychotic]

Nani, what happened?! Nani, answer me! NANI?!

NAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!

DUM DUM DER DUM DUM, DUM DUM DUM!

I was six years old at the time, my dad threw me up in the air in celebration - I guess I'd have felt the same if I'd waited 18 years for us to win the title...
