English Football Thread! 2005-2006 Season

[Cz]

Freddy Adu. At least, until he signs for Chelsea and is set upon by a thousand rabid dogs sent by Jesus and the Buddha (five hundred each, in case you were wondering).

But yeah, Cesc, Rooney and Messi are looking like the next wave of megastars. Any number of players could suddenly find their form though. After all, who would've predicted Thierry Henry would become such a dominant force, during his time at Juventus? Who knows, maybe we'll all be worshipping Leon Osman in a few years' time?

P.S. We've got no chance today. The laws of this season state that in the last minute of the game, Robbie Fowler will score from an offside position, look around for the linesman's flag, only to see that the goal has been given. Psy will then send me a gloating PM and I will be forced to send him a giant picture of Rafa Benitez wearing an MSPaint moustache. That same day, Ashley Cole will, in a fit of madness, attempt to wrestle a bear, breaking every bone in his body and putting him out of action for the next six years.

[Psychotic]

We'll dominate the game, not score any, Morientes will miss an open goal from 3 yards out, Robbie Fowler will score six goals but all of them will be offside, and then Hleb or then someone else that I hate for no reason (Actually I hate Hleb because his stats are as good as Ronaldinho's on PES5. Yes, I enjoyed editing them down. ) will score from a set-piece in the 104th minute. (14 minutes of stoppage time were added because Kewell mistook Pascal Cygan's face for a mirror, and ran around the Highbury pitch screaming his head off because his precious silly hair had gone, interrupting play)

PAUL ANDERSON WILL BE THE NEXT BIG THING!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS:



Henry: How can anyone's arse be so FAT?!

I am the next Baddiel and Skinner. Yes, both of them simultaneously. All I need to do now is insult Jimmy Greaves.

[Shoden]

It's a good damn thing I have the internets in this hole of mine.
How come Arsenal rarely side an English player on their team? It's an English football team with no English players.

[Jess]

I just have to declare this: I hate Wayne Rooney!

However, Shay Given is still Europes number #1! He did really well today, stopping some really good shots. Another year where we haven't beaten Man Utd at Old Trafford. The last time we beat them there was in 1972.

We need to beat Liverpool next week or it's going to be real hard for us to push back into the top 10. I like Liverpool, but Newcastle need to win it.

EDIT: I demand the return of Owen right this instant. :grinpink:

[Shoden]

He'll be back for the Chelsea match, I hope the next manager can toughen the team up, Roeder has just repaired the team but the defence in the team sucks.

You see we have the chuckle brothers, Babayaro, who's too busy baby sitting Titus Bramble the clueless ape and Boumsong who was once an acceptable player and nowhere near worth the money spent on him. Sell Boumson and Bramble to Birmingham or a championship team and buy back Woodgate and there you go, solid defending.

I laughed when Rooney missed the chance of the match in the 2nd half when he was being chased by Parker given went out of his goal and missed and Rooney took a shot and it deflected, how dumb can you get? I still think he's become a spoilt brat at Man U though, he should be in Spain or at Arsenal or Everton, I just hope Chelsea buy him.

[Jess]

That's the way it's always been for Newcastle, though. It never changes. Sure, we have some great top of the line strikers and midfielders and we pretty much always have. However, our defence has always been terrible.

We've never really had too much trouble getting the goals in, its just preventing the other teams from scoring that's the problem.

I don't think finding a replacement for Shearer is what we need to worry about, its about getting a good defence. If we get some good defence to go along with our great goalie, we'll do fine.

[Shoden]

If we get snow next week we'll win by miles plus the advantage we're at home and the weather lately has been wintery.

[Psychotic]

It's a good damn thing I have the internets in this hole of mine.
How come Arsenal rarely side an English player on their team? It's an English football team with no English players.

They're currently beating a team with 4 Englishmen in their starting XI, so that's probably why.

And Bladen, do you really think it's never snowed in Liverpool? :laugh:

[Jess]

Honestly, one nil down to Arsenal?

Liverpool can do better! :rolleyes2

[Psychotic]

IT'S BECAUSE ARSENAL ARE FOREIGNERS!!!! THEY'RE FOREIGNISING IN OUR FACES WITH THEIR STUPID SPELLINGS OF THE NAME ALEXANDER! (Aleksander? Alexandre? wtf, Arsenal, wtf)

I like how nobody gave a crap about Arsenal being as English as Adolf Hitler until they started winning again. Then all the big names like Alan Pardew, Sam Allardyce (pot kettle black) and Bladen decide to slag them off. The idea is to slag them off when they're crap, guys.

[Jess]

It's also because Arsenal isn't even a place.

I will continue to like Liverpool so long as they don't steal Owen back off us.

[Shoden]

Up here it snows alot more heavier and Newcastle is nearer to a coast which brings in more wind and cold in this season.
Newcastle have a couple of Foreign players but some of them suck, Boumsong, Bramble. Solano and Emre are saints, I'm surprised Solano isn't a big target for Spain. Arsenal should be "le Arsenale" if they keep fielding frogs. Owen has 2 more sesons on his contract though.

[Psychotic]

Newcastle is not nearer to the coast than Liverpool. Liverpool is a port.

Solano isn't a big target for Spain because he's Peruvian.

Owen has a £12m release clause.

EDIT: UGH. The sending off for Alonso is utter bull<img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif">. He just slipped. And oh goody goody, Arsenal have scored again. 2-1. Excellent, now I can hide behind Alonso's sending off just like Jose Mourinho would.

[Shoden]

Maybe so but they get off lucky because all the bad crap comes from the North Sea, it's not fair because I live near the mouth of the Tyne at South Shields and when it snows and gales it really does it, you just have to hope for normal English weather next week. St James's Park is barely in Newcastle, right on the edge though. Don't ask me how I know it, I just have too much spare time. Those guys down there get slightly less cold climate for some reason, sometimes it's unfair. I remember a couple years back when we got 4 inches of snow after gales pushed scottish snow down here, my poor house. Since when do Liverpool have 12M to spare to flash around like they just don't know it? they're a better team than some teams in the premiership but tey have their money problems like many others.

[Psychotic]

Since when? Since we won the Champion's League. I know you're a Newcastle fan so you don't understand such things, but when you win trophies, you also win money! And the better the tournament, the more money you win!

That and Liverpool having the third highest income of British clubs last year.

Game over. Boo. Xabi.

Still, 1-0 at Anfield and 2-1 at Highbury means we win on away goals. Ha!
