English Football Thread! 2007-2008 Season

[Loony BoB]

Chelsea are so screwed. Terry injured, Drogba sent off and and Shevchenko booed so bad Grant gave in and took him off. xD Laughin' it up.

Torres apparently muffing a couple of chances for 'pool, Chelsea struggling at home against Fulham and possibly about to lose a home game (and I will have to watch it if that's the case, if only to hear the reception at the end of the game). Miller suddenly a goalscorer again (he always was a hit/miss guy, eh?), Anelka still scoring goals even if Bolton are troubled as hell, 9 goals in a single game (so far) at Fratton... incredible day so far. Only hoping West Ham can pull something out of the hat and then United can gain some ground on the top two.

I loathe plastic fans who boo their own players. It happens at England and it happens at Chelsea. If you don't like how the player has done, fine, but save that for until you leave the stadium. When you're inside the ground, give them 100% support 'cause booing doesn't help anybody.

Even so, oh I hope this is the beginning of Chelsea coming apart at the seams. Probably not, but I can dream.

Yossi Benayoun is a great player to have on your bench.

Bloody hell, 7-4 is an incredible score. Never seen anything like that before.

Indeed that's a record aggegrate score for a Premiership game I believe. Not even sure when 11 goals was scored in a game in the top-flight. Can't wait to see that on MOTD tonight. And there was a missed penalty too!

Another win for us, can't complain. And I'm glad to see Man City still doing well, I like seeing Sven shoving the media's jibes back down their throats. They won't maintain it most likely but they've done well thus far.

No, but as an Evertonian I can certainly understand why some fans do it. Sometimes performances are just awful in the first half and at least the crowd venting their opinion tends to improve their performance in the second half. Understand it, but certainly don't approve it, mind.

Hope we beat Boro tomorrow because we really need to pick ourselves up after this slump. Be interest to see who Moyes starts with up front. I'd say Yakubu and McFadden myself, but who knows?

Also, as for the 7-4 I was really shocked to see that result considering I expected a 1-1 draw. Most goals I've seen personally in a Premiership match was Everton beating Southampton 7-1 years back.

See you next week, bitch.

Please come back again and again, you're always welcome

I'd rather not.

As for the 7-4 thriller, wow.

I quite like how the League table has teams from Liverpool and Manchester occupying 2nd through to 5th. How neat and tidy.

Also, I'm pleased by Arsenal's early form. Out of the supposed Big Four, I'd rather they won the league than the others. If they'd like to gift Everton 6 points this season, I'd be even more inclined that way. If Resha could have a word with Arsene Wenger about this deal, I'd appreciate it.

Geez man I'll help you poke fun at Liverpool any day of the week (and twice on Sundays!) but...I...just don't know if I can bring myself to do that

That being said, 'grats on the 2-0

[demondude]

According to the newspaper abromavich sat with the crowd during saturdays game but had to go off because people were shouting rascist comments towards him.

And I cant believe we drew to FULHAM avram grant and roman abromavich are going to destroy chelsea.
And even though it sounds bad I want chelsea to not do well this season so abromavich can see what an ass he's made of himself.

*rant over*

Wouldn't want to ally with a stinking gunner anyway. We have a bigger club as our allies (and I'm not even talking about Nottingham Forest...pretty sure they hate us, but that's what happens between big teams who have actually won European Cups ), Metalist Kharkiv.

FC Metalist Kharkiv left the Everton fans raging last week when the players arrived at Goodison Park clutching bags of souvenirs from the Liverpool megastore.

Love it. :laugh:

So how are you going to poke fun at Liverpool, Pooja? I've yet to see you do it successfully, so I am quite looking forwards to it.

[Resha]

There's always the good old "hey pawl liverpool r gay" I can pull out in times of need

[Psychotic]

LFC are gay? Ha! More like we-take-it-up-the-Arsenal!

[Resha]

Yeah, that's what they said about Posh Becks, isn't it? So how does it feel to be on par with that?

(anyways I don't want to go into the logistics of this, but taking it up the blah = gay)

If that wasn't innuendo I dunno what it was
