English Football Thread! 2006-2007 Season

[Psychotic]

You people could've told me that while he was on screen. It froze with him smiling. He looked very happy and it was so cute!

Finished 2-0. No Makelele + Essien and Ferreira at centre back = lawl. That biased twat Andy Gray was ranting on about how Chelsea were dominating, but imho they were poor and didn't have a single decent shot on goal, whereas we could've had 4-5 easily. Dirk Kuyt = buy of the summer, thank god those barcode tits didn't get their hands on him.

And thus the title race ended, and the race for second place began. You gunners are welcome to join us if you like.

An e-dit: Oh wait, Man Utd are only 6 points clear. Admittedly they still have to play Arsenal but I thought it was a 9 point lead.

Andy Gray is seriously the second worst pundit about today. (After that Kris Kamara asshole who is just a dodgy league 2 manager type)

Oh yes oh yes oh yes.

Awesome result for Liverpool (and all right-thinking people) today. Sure, Chelsea were weak at the back, but three points against the back-to-back champions is a fantastic outcome. The only down side to this result is that it means the title race is pretty much over if United win tomorrow. It'd take a pretty spectacular collapse for them to squander such a lead, anyway. Here's hoping for another good result tomorrow.

I am [almost] disgusted. Why did it have to be Crouch and Pennant, of all eleven players? Ahahaha bollocks. But congrats, Liverpudlians and Pawl and all! It's an excellent result, and it's always nice watching Chelski eat humble-pie.

Considering Andy Gray's history of being an Everton player, he's never likely to be very fair when talking about Liverpool XD - he never seems to like them muh anyway.

And Chris Kamara is one of the most hilarious people on the TV! He's in no way the rubbishest! That prize goes to Ian Wright or Jamie Redknapp...

And just to say about Ferguson's early years: yes he won the FA Cup and Cup-Winners Cup, but let's not count the Super Cup as much of a prize - they did win the League Cup in 1992 though. But as that famous story goes, he was almost given the boot at the start of the 90s. And Man Utd were pretty poor in the league until 1992 anyway.

*Kuyt, my bad~!

I am beyond ecstatic.

Jesus Christ, what a finish. O_O

This may not last (especially with the three Cup games coming up) but for the moment it's a very sweet feeling indeed

Well, after getting over the initial "Damn!" of losing, I have to say that it was a fantastic game overall where either side could have won (or we could have had a draw) - I think neither team really deserved to lose but United just let Arsenal off in the last ten minutes with a bit of relaxed defending what with the long balls. They should have kept attacking and keeping the ball down the other end, but instead they just kept booting it away all the time. We should really have gone for a second goal but I never felt that it was coming, sadly. Too little aggression for a team like United, that's for sure, and Arsenal made us pay.

Still, content with the overall result of the weekend with United's odds of winning the title cut even further. Down to £1.44 from £1.80 (bet365) with Chelsea losing... and the fun thing is that now Arsenal & Liverpool are just as close to Chelsea as we are, if not closer. I would very much love it if Chelsea ended up third or fourth.

You be shh!

Newcastle 2-2 West Ham. It should have been an easy game for us, but with the way we played against Birmingham I wasn't that suprised when West Ham got the lead.

[The Captain]

The season ain't over yet. Man Utd and Arsenal still have league games to play at Anfield if I'm not mistaken and with the way we keep holding serve there (mixing sports metaphors!), we can still pick up points.

Take care all.

Hi, just came here to say I've been supporting Fulham for years now.

I'm confident we can make it to top 10 this season. Also our management shows more signs of ambition and we've gotten some very interesting players during the transfer window. Montella on loan spell has already scored 3 goals in 2 games.

Also watch out for our newest attacking midfielder, USA international Clint Dempsey. I'm confident he will leave a mark to this league too. Link to his goal complication : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAr6m-mD5W8

We just need a good centreback at the moment. I hope CC can snatch a quality one before window closes. Also we're still in FA cup and facing Stoke next. I'm being overly optimistic and hoping Fulham could win it. I'm just glad to see we're building a good team looking for next season. It was awful how Jimmy Bullard got injured for the rest of the season after shining in his first games as a FFC player...he'll be back!

It's hello Waterloo again :-( Bolton. The memories of being punted out of last year's FA Cup by the selfsame Wankerers still rankle in my soul; 0-0 at halftime, and with the start Bolton got today it could well be the same. I don't know though, I hope not. The second half remaaaains, and and and I reckon our game DID pick up somewhat towards the end of the first half; Henry back-heel, but it was a beautiful clear by the defender, whoever he was (I missed his name).

Hopefully we continue in the same vein we finished the first half in. I really really do not want us to lose to Bolton again and face the same ty criticism hurled at us time after time of losing to them: "Arsenal can't play physical sides etc etc etc hit repeat etc etc etc"

No. Just no

[charliepanayi]

Argh I really hate playing Bolton, we just can't get this monkey off our backs >_<

[Cz]

No way are we going to get a win at the Reebok. It's just not our style. Say goodbye to the FA Cup, guys.
