Good result for the Chelski last night, but not a good advert for the Premiership that they basically had to park the bus!!
Cant wait for the game tonight, got a really good feeling that Arsenal are going to surprise people and win. :oui::w00t:
Nah bruv, United all the way :P
I was expecting a much better game last night. Messi, Eto and Henry were quite all night.
Now today SHOULD be an awesome game

Half Time and 1-0 to United!
COME ON!!!
Finished 1 - 0. Could / Should have been more
Will definitely be more goals at the Emirates but United will go through!!! :cool:
Man we got away with a one nil from that, lucky lucky us.
Tactically we got it wrong last night, and Fergie was spot on, but we know we can score 2 against you at home, so its about whether Almunia can keep a clean sheet or not now!
If Arshavin was playing it would have been a different game, but I really hope Van Persie is back for next week, he would have done a 100% better job then Diaby last night on the left.

TV's gone off in disgust. Fucking embarrassing way for a team of that level to play - and that's about the only thing that's saved the utterly shit linesman and soft ref from their own level of personal abuse.
Fair play to United, I hope they play Barca in the final and both teams go for it as it started tonight, on balance they deserve to win it.

That's gonna be the peach draw for the final this year though - def the better game for the neutral.

Will be one awesome final!
That ref had the worst game possible, Chelski should have had at least 2 pens maybe 3, and that sending off???
But Chelsea through which is what we all wanted! lol

being a chelski fan i cant believe what happened. that ref definately needs to go to spec savers for sure.
the sending of was harsh way to harsh, but the game should have been over done and dusted in the 1st half if we had got the pens.
i can understand their frustration, they were playing in the biggest game of their lives and they played out of their skin i.e. no shots on target for barca,
i was proper wounded. platini wins again.

I bet Platini has a high level meeting were they found the worst ref they could and put him in that game last night.
Still laughing this morning at Drogba though, I reckon a 10 game Euro ban coming for him.
Poor old hiddink, out of ANOTHER semi final!!

07-05-2009, 08:30 AM
I'll say this for one thing - for the ECL they picked two complete morons for refs. Last night's was even worse than Tuesdays, and that was saying something. Utter lunacy.
Chelsea are gonna get a big fat fine (at least) for the behaviour afterwards, but then Hiddink was bang on the money in his interview, they're humans and they have emotions and what a way to get knocked out - you can't really expect them to shrug and then all skip off the pitch holding hands... Drogba's in for a big spank though. :P
Arsenal v Chelsea today, battle of the Champions League semi losers!!
I heard that Arshavin is not playing!! Man is it some sort of conspiracy that he doesnt get to play a full match against Chelsea!! He is our best player by a mile so is going to be badly missed!
Man Utd vs Man City about to kick off

I blame Wenger. You need some experience as well as youth. You can't just reply on the youth to win you silverware.
He must buy experienced players in the summer
Huzi thats so true he got to start spending,.
We got arsenal on saturday! and got wigan 2mrw! making my way to manchester friday night, cant wait!
I think wenger should of taken his chance with real madrid!
As i, a United Fan, will now rant other clubs (sorry guys, i have 2 do this :P).
1) Scousers! looool, fair enough they beat us 4-1 home! they were obviously the ones glory hunting at a mass scale!
you guys should realize as long as you have rafa as a manager, you wil not see anymore silverware!
and of course cant forget the fact rafa under estimating everton! (well hey atleast their in the FA cup final! atleast one team from merseyside is doing well :P .
2) Gooners, got happy when nasri did double against us AWAY in the epl, they havnt won anything for four years loolz...
dont forget the CL game! lol VIVA RONALDO!!
3) Lastly Chelsea, someone chuck a box of kleenex for John Terry, and pay Cashley Cole a few quid might end up playing for our 5 a side team lol :p

Did you write that on your phone, or do u txt spk for funz on ur cmputa? :wacko:
Wenger never had a chance with Real, any more than any other manager has. Well, you get one chance: The chance to be sacked for not winning every trophy possible. Much more kudos for winning with a footballing side than a money one (difficult argument for the average United fan to understand that one, I grant you :D).
Let's not forget the spending, shall we? The cost of the first teams this weekend:
United £88.05m
Liverpool £89.3m
Chelsea £111.5m
Arsenal £34m
1/2 and 3/4 have gone down to the last 2 games of the season. So. Now who's the better manager? :whistle:
Wigan should be a decent game. Hopefully the weekend's will be the footballing spectacle that it deserves to be (if Ronaldo isn't crying in his pants about Uncle Fergy making him sit on the naughty step for sulking again... :rofl:).

LOL dude you cant say Arsenal are shite, we were top for 8 months last season, until money overtook us.
The fact is that we spend £10million on players and Man U and Chelsea spent £30million on players, so we live with the efforts of punching above our weight season after season.
Man U's debts are closing in on £1 Billion!! How can they sustain this? I would be worried that sooner or later the bubble of the Premiership will burst and then where will that leave a team like Man U?

Saw today that RBS have done what they're doing all over now and foreclosed on Liverpool's debt. Their money-spinner seems happy enough that it can be relocated, but who the hell takes on £350m of sports debt in this climate??

Odd that in a game between Barca and Man Utd, my most pressing moment was when Henry repeated his 'oh my god' moment that cost gooners so much 3 years ago. At least he finished on the winning team this time, and they deserved it by a mile, although kudos to Red Nose for at least throwing caution to the wind and making for an exciting finish. All in all, a decent Final, aside from all the hype that led up to it.
And in other news, Wenger just made his first signing for the summer. Unsurprisingly, the player is 15 years old. Sigh...here we go again.

Lolz :omg:
I, as a United fan say we have learnt a great lesson in football, and admits we played poorly after the 1st 10 minutes, the better team won.
Messi, eto, xavi, iniesta, pyuol even yaya toure all played really good.
Keep the red and white flag high, because united will never die!

28-05-2009, 12:02 PM
You could always sell that flag - it's only been used for 10 minutes! (OK, I recycled an Arsenal joke from the semi-final, but dammit it was the very first thing I thought of when Barca scored!)
In more news from above, we've now signed two 15 year olds, and are now closing in on a 16 year old. Unreported rumours abound that Walcott is being pensioned off and Fabregas given a free cos he's past it at 22 and needs a zimmerframe... :banghead:
Well we are not going to stop buying youngsters.....but this summer I think there will be 2 25-28 year old players signed too.
Chaos
28-05-2009, 01:10 PM
There will be, but his policy on youngsters is so contradictory. Look at the 2002 Youth Cup winners - only Sidwell made it in the Premiership, and even then not by much.
Fast forward to this year. The youth team ripped everyone apart. So he buys 3 more youngsters plus whoever else he finds this summer. Then, in the next breath, he's justifying not buying Alonso for the senior squad cos he didn't want to 'kill' Diaby or Song or Denilson. Er, hello? Sanchez Watt? Jack Wilshere? Marc Randall?
Ach whatever. Que sera sera and all that. Just frustrates me when someone as clearly brilliant as he is at the highest level makes what I perceive to be fundamental inconsistencies at a basic one. Ho hum..
I know what your saying mate, but remeber most of the time when he is talking in the media, he is using it to talk to his players, boosting their moral and confidence by saying he does not need to buy etc etc...
The 2002 winning team cant even be compared to the kids that smashed Liverpool this week, of them at least two (Wiltshire, Couleqin) will get into the first team squad IMO next season, and a few others will make good careers in Prem teams.
He knows he needs to strenghen but you cant say that in public against your own team, he is given little money (in comparison to the Man U of this world) and he does the best he can with it. That money is used for transfers and higher wages for new contracts to existing players so there is not alot of cash there for him.
Plus since he started the "relevution" of buying young everyone is now doing it and scouring the world for the 14/15 kids who could be the next best thing, which means even that is alot harder.
From everything I have heard our youth kids, right down to the under 11s are the best we have ever had, so for us hopefully the future is safe, especially with potential rule chances in the offing from prats like Platini.
Chaos
28-05-2009, 03:31 PM
Maybe, but then he's not buying English kids as a rule (1 of the 3 is, and he's potentially the biggest gamble). I hear what you say about him using the media, and that's right, but then I hear a lot without the media too and even if I didn't he's still sending mixed messages; hence the frustration.
Wilshire is close, for sure, but he's not first team yet (especially if Vela can't get a game), and of the others you startt looking at forwards like Rhys Murphy and Sanchez Watt and thinking 'well, we have 5 first team forwards, those two guys score REGULAR and won't get a look in - and now he's buying more forwards....' and wondering what the big plan is..
We'd be stronger if the players who needed to go were shifted on (Adebayor and Eboue to name the two main candidates) and money used for a big purchase or two, but they won't be, and Liverpool/Villa have already priced Alonso/Barry out of the price range. So, you have to start looking at what is left, and it's going to need another miracle of Sagna-esque proportions to pull us back into contention.
Something may happen, it always may, it'd just be nice to get a whiff of them looking in the big league. :)
He knows he needs to strenghen but you cant say that in public against your own team
Well, yeah, you really can. That's what you say when the team drops a season's worth of points before Christmas and it's time to stop being nice and start kicking arse. :P You don't need to name names, but you acknowledge the need. I'll never be one to call for Wenger to move on because the guy is a bloody genius - and even people who hate Arsenal have to admit that - but I had to cringe when he was saying every day that we didn't need anyone and then he bought Arshavin for megabucks and we started playing like twice the team we had been. Kinda went out of his way to prove himself wrong, though I'm bloody glad he did! Was clearly a 'we can't afford to take the chance of the ECL place, let's make sure' and it worked, but it did kinda paint an Epic Fail on his young player plans - albeit next season it'll be a LOT tighter and actually I'd be a bit less nervous if we had to play the same teams with our same team (but we won't, cos there are some big names already talking about moves).

Also where is Eto going to go?

Yes. One that will beat Kaka, probably by this time next week. :)
Drogba is staying at Chelski btw. So is Anelka. Ancellotti has said he wants them both.
Milan are prepping a big chequebook spanking for someone right now. Wolfsburg are talking up their man-of-the-moment to try and push the price, but Milan want a big name too. Millions of Gooners are hoping that Adebayor is the biggest name that they can find - all we want is a cup of tea and 2 Mars bars for him!
Yes. One that will beat Kaka, probably by this time next week. :)

Yup, and those rumours were around before this news went public. The thing is, now everyone can see how naive Manchester United are - or arrogant - or both...
The price of all of those players just doubled in a heartbeat. Any sensible and prudent businessman would have tied bids in with any/all of them and then let the Ronaldo bid go public. But no, despite the fact that he told the club on Monday that he wanted to speak with Real and the two clubs were discussing prices for three days until Real finally got a number that hit the spot, nobody stopped to think "Er, if we're not smart, that €90m is going to be worth half it's face value".
Still, it's what you come to expect from one of the clubs being run on the back of enormous lending and foreign investment I guess. Their neighbours are following the same route, Chelsea have done it for a few years, it's all commonplace now. Makes you wonder how many millions have been wasted from poor business management.
And, with regard to the football, Ronaldo was made into a hero by Ferguson dictating the entire team around him. He has other players that he can do that with, and a good replacement coming through in Fletcher. United won't be that much weaker without him, and IMO they'll be a lot better off without his attitude and his diving. It's not the great news for the rest of the EPL that some of the papers will be making it out to be..

Over those 6 years, they'll make the signing-on fee back in shirt sales and PR alone. That and the 'Galacticos' ethos made it a cert. At least it may mean that they'll STFU about Cesc for 12 months. Maybe.

Shame to see Ron go but you could see at end of the season his heart was not with it. I really hope that we use some of the moneyb to buy Tevez now but I doubt he would want to stay.
I have heard that Burnley want to buy Duff from Newcastle lol.
Sad to see Ronaldo go but you could see that happening.
I hope this now means that Tevez stays and hopefully get Benzema and Ribery.
Maybe this is a lifeline for Nani :P

Chaos
15-06-2009, 01:20 PM
There's a lot of BS flying about - well, there was a lot before, there's ridiculous amounts now!
Mourinho has been tapping up Carvalho and Deco for a couple weeks now. More Deco really, Carvalho's agent has been doing most of his publicity. Deco may be allowed to move if Ancellotti wants someone, purely speculating, nothing's concrete yet (or wasn't yesterday morning).
Who's Frab? Or you mean Fab as in Fabregas? Cos he's going nowehere, that you can be certain of..!
The Ribery-Real rumour was done to prompt Utd into a move, but they didn't play, mainly cos the morons at Bayern put a €100m price tag on him IMO (or not morons if they wanted to keep him, I suppose /shrug). May end up being Barca, not Real, who end up hosting that party, but it won't be for a few weeks now I'd have thought as the former are tied up talking to potential targets and the latter are spent out with regard to major names..bar maybe one more striker (winner gets Villa, loser gets Ibrahimovic :rofl:)
And yes, Villa is the next big move, but he may not be going to Real now there's a fight on and Valencia have seen the bids go up 50% in the last 24 hours... Chequebooks out, ladies!
Edit: Oh yeah, talking of Villa, got a text over lunch, RatFaceChav Bentley passed a medical with Aston Villa this morning.
Watched Villa miss 300 chances against New Zealand, it makes me wonder if he is just mainly hype....in the same game Torres has 5 shots and scored 3 goals.

Header last night was quality, some nice passing too. Torres is more consistent for me, too, but Villa is definitely capable.
Looks like he's going to get his move to Madrid, too, after they held on to win the fight. If he moves for 50, that will leave about 40 from the war-chest they had to go after Ribery. Bayern are holding out for silly money, but they'd be insane not to double their bubble on him given that he's only been there 5 minutes...

Current rumours that I had verified last night:
Maicon to Chelsea - negotiations on price underway
Mascherano to Barca - Player has handed in a transfer request but been rejected
Hull chasing Gudjohnsen and Owen - firm offers for both but nothing back yet (usually means agents don't think the player will be interested - and who would, playing for the paedo c*nt that runs that shithole club)
And the big-detail one:
Defour to Everton rejected - Standard Liege reject €10m bid for the rain-man-lookalike, insisting on at least €15m plus international clauses. Everton are considering a better offer. (They paid Standard 18m for Fellaini last year, so the Beligian club will be cash-rich on that little league if they pull off a second deal of that size..!)
Those not happening:
Adebayor to Chelsea for £25m - made up news, sadly :cry:
Dan, any news from the Man Utd camp? Benzema, Costa, Nilmar, Huntelaar?
Heinze to Spurs?

Told you the other week, Benz ain't going noplace at the moment, up to Fergros to put in a big paycheck to tempt him really and he hasn't yet...
My mate didn't mention the others. The last time he spoke of Huntelaar it was cos I was asking hoping Wenger had been on the sniff, but he hadn't.. :mad: I'll ask next time I speak to him.
Spurs are chasing every big name they see, including Heinze, but at the moment the only name they're likely to get is Owen. I can see Heinze going to Cashchester City to play second fiddle to Bridge tbh..
Thanks Dan :thumbsup:
I thought there may have been some development with Benz now that tevez has gone plus there has been a few rumours over the weekend.
I do hope they can get him and Huntelaar

Benny - looks like your first one in is about to happen, Hibernian forward called Fletcher. Just trying to get a confirmed nod. :)
Oddly, there are reports that Alonso may be going to Real for 35m... :eek: Benitez parked a high figure on him, but it hasn't put Real off after (as mentioned before) they ran out of cash for Ribery.
Sunderland are arguing over the price of Bent from Spuds. The latter want £18m, which frankly is obscene for a half-decent striker who can't get a game at a no-hope club. :unsure: Spuds are trying to replace him with Obinna from Inter, who should be surplus after Deco makes his expected move there.
Fulham have put in a bid for Tuncay. Pienaar may be leaving Everton. Birmingham had their ridiculous attempt to sign Vieira from Inter bounced - I guess they'll be trying for David Villa next.. :hehe:

That one's agent speak. I asked him about Benzy just for you, and apparently he's staying at Lyon. It's probably either his agent trying to nudge a better deal for the player or Real trying to temper Liverpool's pricing on Alonso (which won't work, cos they don't want to sell anyway).

Had a text this morning - it's gone crazy overnight!
City have had an offer accepted for Eto'o, the end-product of an enormous merry-go-round (there's one every year, doesn't usually come off!) that could potentially be the first indicator that David Villa is indeed leaving Valencia. One of the papers has got it this morning too, so props to whoever digs for them, although I didn't have any figures which means they're either making it up or they know a bit more - but they're talking £9.5mpa NET... :eek:
And the latest on Benzema is awesome - it may be Arsenal, with a year re-loan built in to the first term. Shove that, Fergie! :yeye: Seriously though, is early days, but it's been discussed, and depends a lot on how far Milan and Inter are going to go with Adonkeyor.
If even half of that comes off, it's gonna mean more big names in the Prem. I wouldn't fancy City's wage bill much, mind.... :unsure:

Oz, my mate's an agent, and although I've got another mate who's a scout, I don't see much off him these days and TBH when I did he had 500 dads all asking the same for their kids..
How old's your nephew? It's hard, and you know if I could wave a wand then I would, but the reality is that something like 99.3% of kids never get past the trial stage. Brutal, and they reckon that as many capable ones get left in the cold as make it. :mellow: Giving up depends on his age as much as anything else - always worth trying if he's under 11 or 12.
Just heard about Bezema to Arenal.
Fergie is back in the office tomorrow so maybe he can tempt lyon with a huge offer :P
Eto was asking for something like £200k a week AFTER tax wasn't he?
Chaos
28-06-2009, 11:30 AM
Yeah, seems like they've settled on a fraction less, he's not worth close to Kaka or Divealdo IMO though. Any excuse for Manchester Cashy to sign another name seems to have done the trick for him!
Think the French Connection may prove too much for Fergles to overcome, though he may try to bully them into a £30-35m deadline to try and force it through before Wenger has a chance to sell Adonkeyor and re-route the cash onto Benz. Be interesting to see.
Anyone else see the Van Persie interview in NoTW today? He has a pool table with a picture of him celebrating a goal put into the entire surface of the baize... :blink: Not sure I can think of anything more off-putting that playing pool on myself, but even without that it looked heinous! :non:
If Benz does go to Arsenal, Fergie HAS to get in Huntelaar. I rate him a lot as a striker.
RVN did well at Utd and I'm sure Huntelaar would adapt to the EPL.
Robben would also be another option who can play left or right side of mid

Wow. Yes Oz, if he's 21 then I'm afraid it's almost impossible to get a newbie trial. Wrighty was mid 20s, it's true, but he'd had some trials and he was a phenomenon playing at the level he was when he signed for Palace - and that was almost 20 years ago.
Times have changed drastically in football. These days, if you've left school, you've really very little chance at all of a club taking you on. Everyone wants kids these days at trials - get them early, bring them on, use them or sell them. Even the lower league clubs will want to see playing history at 21.
It's a shame but, that said, there's still good semi-pro clubs out there, so still chance to do a Wrighty and go play lower level then get picked up that way.

In the big news though..:
Got a text off my boy who's in Spain - David Villa was at the Bernabeu today. Make of that what you will.
Real have made the first bid for Benzema, and it's (unsurprisingly) enormous considering the guy's age and experience. Think that, probably quite deliberately, they've priced Arsenal out of it - it's certainly at the ceiling of Wenger's budget even if/when Adonkyor gets sold. They could be trying to test United's resolve with the Ronaldo cash too...or they could just not give a damn and be throwing money at him having conceded defeat in the fight for David Villa.
Well let's see if Fergie put in an offer of over £30mil for Benzema. I really hope united sign him

Dude, United didn't even bid for him.. You have got an international striker visiting you today though, and it's thought there'll be a medical later this afternoon/evening. Looks like a big signing on fee is about to go the way or Mr Michael Owen.. ;)
It'll be a bit busy again for a week or two now for that very reason; 1st July is contract annuation day, so everybody's value always drops and/or free transfers become available. :)
Huntelaar probably won't happen now btw, as it looks like Ruud Van Horselrooy is going to go to Lyon to replace Benzema. Not sure why they didn't p/x, but if he goes then they won't sell Huntelaar..
Burnley are after James McCarthy too, Benny. Not sure what price they'll get to, probably around 1m rising to 2.5ish on apps, but they seem keen to get him and he should prove a very very good investment for the future.

And you have a young understudy up front anyway who looks like he'll do well and be a better end product than Gigi Rossi (who's still not bad), so I don't get it.

It will be a shame to see Ibra leave Inter, he was one of my fav players at Inter but hopefully Eto can do the damage for us and help us progress in champ league. Inter also signed Lucio aswell which is good.
Dan, any word on weather Carvalhio will end up at Inter also? Him with Lucio at the back would be a good pairing. Dont knw why they sold Maxwell, i rated him quite highly in the team.

Huzi - Arsenal have a first offer agreement. If Blackburn or Sunderland have a bid accepted, Arsenal can match it, hence they don't need to make the first move. ;) However, there's someone else on the radar now - you know, someone Dutch ;)- so Chamakh is on the back-burner (which I suspect is why his agent is playing the media game about other clubs).

Today's names all likely to discuss terms with new employers: Peter Crouch, Darren Bent, Matthew Upson.

Crouch - Spurs, Bent - Sunderland, Upson - Man City?
Owen's pre season going well too :)

Correct on all fronts. City are in defence mode this week it seems, speaking with Upson, Toure and Lucas Neill (omg, he may be a free transfer, their heads will explode!).
I have to say that I'd rather we tell them to shove the Toure bid up their pipe, but it's too big to do that I fear and Hangeland could be bought for a fraction of it (which does rather beg the question.......). Eboue could be out this week though (WOOT - BOTH OF THE DEADWOODS GONE :yeye:) and Toure would be perfect at right back..
Hope Mr Owen doesn't crock himself from trying too hard..! Eduardo did quite nicely on his return too - maybe there's some extra-strong magic sponges doing the rounds... :)

Toure medical today at 4pm. £16m more in the coffers but still no signings on the horizon.
Sell Eboue for £5m (or a Mars bar and two fags if not, anything, seriously..), buy Hangeland for £9m and Alonso for £25m - we're still £12m up and with a much stronger team than last year.
Not gonna happen though is it.. :mellow:

LOL, ahead of this weekend's friendly cup tourney at Emirates, the webbies probably need to have another look for the subtle problem with their homepage.... :non:

Honestly I m trying my best to speak English but then I m reading these posts about footie I cant understand a word :) a you serius about all these people running after one ball?
Formula 1 is about the engines right? and new technologies but these guys running after the same ball years after years :) ball is same shape, guys are human, well I think they are....
:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
Alonso finally moving to Real
Lescott might be moving to the blue part of Manchester
Senderos to Everton. How do Arsenal manage to sell shitty players for decent cash?!!! Anyone remember Cygan?!!! :P:roule:

Liverpool agree fee for Aquilani(click) (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/l/liverpool/8186102.stm)

Quick stop-in on my hols... :)
Senderos was done last Friday, can't believe it took a week to leak out. Cygan was awesome - no Gus Caesar though! :D We need to off-load Sylvester now and we're almost cock-free - just Epooe to go!! It frees up Lescott though, smart bit of business as he's enormously over-rated and it'll see them at a clear £15m+ profit without going backwards really.
Aquilani will be awesome for Liverpool. Annoyed that they got him really, he'll gel really well with Torres (providing he isn't still sulking about his boyfriend being sold).
Who's next.. Not heard too much as my mate's on hols too (his second attempt after being called back from the first one!), but Bent's paperwork went through last night so that saga's over, oh yeah and KJH is going to Milan after Real finally agreed a price, that one's on next.
any truth that if chelsea dont get pirlo there going to go for ledesma from lazio?
Any word on Snijder to Inter?

how do you become a agent anyway. whats the process. is it who you know and what you know.?? interested in finding out.
Sad that KJH is not coming to United :(
Aquilani is a really good signing. A top player
Huzi, huntelaar was meant 2b transfered to us last season and all, don't know what's happening with him now....
Really and truly we should of got ribery this season... But! Owen, with his condition has been very impressive! 4 goals in 2 games! I'm also amazed by antonio's performance he's given us!
Chaos

Agents are ALL about who you know. 24x7 socialising and networking. Does take a lot of time and committment, but the rewards for being a good agent are immense..
Valencia has been great in pre-season, as has Owen. Will be interesting to see who gets the first nod out of Owen and Boris to play alongside Shrek. My money's on the former.

That 2nd goal by Chelsea is shitty man :( Evra was down because he was hit by Balack
The ref was a dick. How could he stop for Ballack and not for Evra?!!!
EDIT ROOOOOOONNNEEEYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a shit penalty shoot out by United standards
Thats it, gonna be Chelski's season now.
LOL!

The ref was being a proper dick! never liked ballack anyway!
evra was hit in the face..EVERY1 knos any contact with the face or head has 2 be treated asap..but nahhh the ref was on chelseas side..i guess for once chelseas money was well spent eyyy loll
overall the penalty shoot out for us was poor, with experienced players and all, oh well thats life, you win some, you lose some...

Burnley making a last-ditch 2.75m bid for Andre Bikey. Bit desperate, but with only about 2 first team defenders fit to play the opener on Saturday I think Owen Coyle's arse is puffing like a geriatric blowing smoke rings..

HAHAHA lost a few players to injury last night. Never thought I would see Owen panic buy.

haha thought Liverpool would have won today. Harry is doing a very good job, spurs could suprise a few ppl this year. Utds result was not all that brilliant.
Arsenal are more or less through to the Champs league proper now! Proper professional job done in Scotland.
Chaos

I'll tell you what impressed me most last night - Tony Mowbray. How refreshing to see a manager who has the stones to say 'well done' to the opposition. Yeah it was a decent game and Celtic were never going to match Arsenal in a proper game, but credit to them for trying til the end and total respect to their gaffer for being a stand-up sorta guy in the interview.
Properly hope that they win the Europa after they've fallen to the inevitable axe in the ECL.

LOL Fabregas is going nowhere. Said it 100 times. Not for €50m and all the tea in China.
Aguero is still a hot potato, but Abramovich seems to be trying.. Not heard either way for def - will let you know if I do.

Nah no chance and now he cant play in the Champs league for anyone else anyways
We just lost against burnley 1st time since 68......Carrick! we should of equalized, meanwhile scousers got 3 goals behind the net, and spurs gave hull a run!

Proves United need a striker! Should have signed KJH. How many chances do they need?
Why did Carrick take the penalty when Anderson was playing?!!! :confused::banghead:
Crazy

Why did Carrick take the penalty when Owen and Rooney were playing, more to the point. I've always had a major issue with strikers who don't like taking penalties, had it when I was coaching and still have it now. Proved to be an expensive lesson for Utd, too. Be interesting to see how they react really - two fairly uninspiring performances from them overall so far.
looks like inter geting snijder wahooo lol

united are always slow starters and they come back strong around october. still fergies face was quality. the beast was immense.
Hughs has said hes ending intrest in lescott. Is that jsut a ploy? where will lescott end up?
Chaos
21-08-2009, 01:17 PM
Lescott will stay, Hughes will chase him for a while yet though, that business isn't yet over. That said, Hughes has also put in a formal enquiry about Upson to West Ham apparently, so that looks like being his back-up plan.
100 goals rooney!, berbs perfect finish, owen immense!, nani pwned ronaldo! wht a fantastic 2nd half...

As for Lescott... Well there ya go, shows what happens when I try to get clever and predict stuff myself. :P

Lol what is sol campbell doing?

25-08-2009, 11:17 AM
Doing what he's done for the last 4 years - following the biggest paycheck he can get. Greedy cock.
To be fair though, the guy is like 35 years old and probably hasnt saved fuck all up, so he is playing for a pension, which anyone would do.
If I was good enough to be a footballer, and couldnt play for Arsenal, I would go to who ever offered the most money.
Chaos
26-08-2009, 07:05 PM
That's called being a sell-out. Where's his pride, he's an international footballer who's turned into a cash whore. Obviously all the time he spent playing next to that helmet who's married to the X-Factor judge must have rubbed off on him..
He was on 80k a week at Arsenal, if he hasn't saved any of that then he's a fuckwit either way. But frankly if you live next to a footballer's wife's dog walker then you can get a slot on Sky these days so I never buy into the whole 20-year-career thing any more.
champs league draw today, should be intresting especially as inter and real aint been seeded. Woudl love to see real play Man u in group stage and give them a whooping lol

27-08-2009, 11:37 AM
yep definately a interesting draw later on in the afternoon will be keeping my eye on that one.
That's called being a sell-out. Where's his pride
Footballers are generally from poorer backgrounds (just look at Reyes and what happened with his illiterate ass!), especially in the UK and so there is no thought of pride in this.
he wants more money, he has a giaranteed 5 year contract with NC, so he took the job, and thats all it is at the end of the day, a highly paid job.
A good draw for all English clubs
Bloody hell I am well happy with Arsenal's group!!!

well diaby was unlucky and almunia is just shit. no other word to describe him.
Awesome win for united :D

United got lucky, Arsenal played the better football and were the better team they did not deserve to loose.
The media piss me off as well man, look how they were trying to goad Wenger into complaining and then write the next day about how he moans about everything!!
our performance was whack! we got out played silly! in all honesty we deserved a draw! where was o shea? why wasnt he marking arshavin? who scored a stunner btw! berbs with all his experience was playing like he just got off the reserve team!
diaby was playing well, but unlucky about the own goal which prob would even made lee dixon proud! :D lol i had 2 say it!
but as for eboue's dive PETHETIC!! props 2 arshavin and persie tho...
im not being biased, i know football, im just saying it the way it was played....:D
You guys didnt deserve a draw, playing at home and you couldnt even get out of your won half!! You kept on losing the ball, and in the first half I even said it was only a matter of time before Rooney saw an opportunity to dive to get a penalty!
nah almunia knew very well he made contact with rooney, thats why he didnt even appeal! almunia is crap so is fabianski, the only decent keepers u guys had is lehmann and the leg david seaman!
got the vid in slow mo aswell :P just for mud :D
