2010/2011 UK Football Season Thread

[Loony BoB]

If you want to add City to the list with some weird description, you could say that they are a team that (at the moment) have only had one person score more than five league goals. And that one player allegedly doesn't even want to be playing in England anymore.

Yeah, this season is pretty nuts. I can't believe that Wolves have beaten five of the top seven teams but still are bottom of the table. They battle well.

Have to say, I was gutted that we lost after Arsenal dropped points. We could have got a seven point lead on Arsenal, 8 point lead on City (plus a game in hand) and - should Chelsea win tomorrow - still a ten point lead on them. Manchester Derby next weekend will be a big game indeed.

Why do I have a bad feeling about todays game against Wolves...

If anyone would like me to predict games for them, I only take a 10% commission on bets made.

Guess I can only take comfort in the fact that I think Swansea will beat the stalling Cardiff tomorrow.

[Psychotic]

The only thing Roy Hodgson did right. My god I love that Portugese baldy.

Also, Chelsea? No refunds. Have fun walking alone, Mr. Torres!

[Loony BoB]

Anyone else watch Mike Summerbee's rants on Sky after the derby yesterday? Danielle and I were both thoroughly entertained. For all the talk of how Rooney's strike would outshadow the game, on the forums, Twitter etc. it was more of a case of his punditry outshadowing Rooney's strike. =x

[Psychotic]

No, but now I have to look into it.

Also, Wayne Rooney still has a long way to go before he's at Crouchinho's level YouTube - Crouch Overhead kicks and Arsenal Hatrick

[charliepanayi]

Bah, Rooney's strike was no Trevor Sinclair c. 1997!

[Loony BoB]

No, but now I have to look into it.

YouTube - Mike Summerbee - A Tad Bitter?

Doesn't include his second "that's eighteen times they've shown that goal" rant when they started the viewings of the Rooney goal after the break. After his rant, I believe the host (don't know his name) went "Let's have a look at that video again!" and Danielle and I had a good laugh.

I'm off to lobby UEFA to abolish second legs for all European ties as of now.

[Psychotic]

I second your motion, provided the second leg at the Nou Camp is abolished by way of tactical nuclear strike. (Napalm is also acceptable)

If there's one pompous team in European football that need to shut the smurf up already, it's Barcelona. I actually sympathise with Arsenal about the whole Fabregas thing. I am actually hoping for an Arsenal victory. Naturally I would like Arsenal to go out in the following round to, say, Spurs but I want Barcelona's to get wrecked first and foremost.

[Loony BoB]

I, too, was glad Arsenal won. I think Barcelona have turned into another Real Madrid when it comes to tapping up. At least do it in private like all the other big clubs do.

I admire their ability to play lovely football and bring through youth talent, but I don't admire their way they think they have a God-given right to sign Fabregas, or any player.

But more than anything, I hope Barcelona go out of the CL because then it will be easier for United to win.

[Psychotic]

It was the same deal with Mascherano, actually. Every day a new Barcelona player was coming out in the media having a huge moan and cry about how we were oppressing poor little Javier's human rights by paying him £smurfknows a week and not letting him join ~*BARCA*~ which is of course every footballer's dream.

...yet now they just use him as an occasional sub

[Old Manus]

I approve of new plans to wordfilter Barcelona to ~*BARCA*~

In Championship news, it's heating up at the top with only 3 points seperating second placed Scumdiff and 6th placed Leeds. Forest are matching the Swans on 53 points but have a game in hand, and are home to the bluebirds this weekend. Let's all cross our fingers and hope for a 0-0 draw, for Bothroyd to get injured, and for Billy Davies to spit out that smurfing chewing gum.

No one will remember that performance in a month thanks to the win, thank god. Gotta say, Utd's B team seems to be about Championship material at the moment.

Anyone else up for a shocker at tomorrows Arsenal game? They'll put out a weak team.

[charliepanayi]

If we lose to Leyton Orient, weak team or not, we may as well give up on the whole season now. Mind you, knowing the way we work I'm sure it's not beyond us.
