Football The 2009/2010 Season Thread

If it wasn't for injuries you'd probably be top 4 this season.

Hirr hirr

Whats so funny Lethul? They have a brilliant manager, who makes mistakes sometimes, but that is because he is still learning. What Moyes has built with little money is far superior to what Liverpool have done with vast sums to cash. When they have the faith to play attacking football like they did today, they are very good.

They also have far more great players in their squad than Liverpool do. Injuries have destroyed last season and this season for them in terms of 4th place ambitions, but they clearly are ready if they get a run with everyone fit.

 

[Turamber]

Surely coaching and handling players in such a way that they don't regularly pick up injuries is all part of it though? Also not signing dodgy injury prone players? Yes Moyes is a good manager but it can't be a coincidence that so many of his players break down all the time?

 

[Everz]

There more geared for 4th place then Villa.. put it that way Turamber .

I agree with most, but Everton are hardly the only injured plagued team.

How pissed must Owen Coyle be now...

Leaves Burnley to join one of their biggest rivals, and then sets a Bolten Record which is 100 years old by not scoring a goal in 5 games

To add the fact that now Burnley are winning against Villa, away from home

 

[Vladamir]

Serves him right really, Burnley have done alright this season and Bolton have just been shite the whole way through. Never should've left.

 

[Corran]

Always seemed to be a strange decision to leave, bolton always looked the more likely team to relegate and so going to them and stating they the bigger team is insane.

I will laugh if burnley stay up and bolton go down.

As for the current match, great bit of play from burnley and they actually looking qute confident today

 

[Gray]

Maybe he will do a Harry Rednapp and rejoin Burnley at the end of the season once Bolton are relegated, and celebrate in the fact they relegated their rivals?

Then of course bring a couple of the decent Bolton players over...

 

[Ch3tan]

He's gone to Bolton because they have money to spend, even if he kept Burnley up he knows he would always be in a relegation fight, and be constantly struggling to keep hold of his best players. Even if Bolton do go down (which I doubt they will come the end of the season), they will still have more to spend than Burnley.

edit:// and as I wrote this, Downing just killed the game off with a quickfire 2 minute double.

whats the point in money if you are in the championship and cant attract players to the club that are of real premiership quality.

Bolton are playing awful at the moment, as are burnley. Can see the pair of them goin down.

 

[Everz]

We can only hope they do

Pompey to go bust

Wigan, Bolton and Burnley to go down.

if pompey go bust only 2 teams relegate.

 

[Jarahl]

God the Reds vs City game is dull. But the way Liverpool is playing atm, I don't see them even going home with 1 point, only upside is Torres was warming up

Edit: The Ref is also drunk tho, how the fuck he could not book Given as he went crazy over the corner that shouldn't have been there, and Gerrard get booked just 1 minuter after for a thin thin fault vs Lescott is beyond me!

Idd where would the extra team come from though? Up from non-league into league 2 or?

Liverpool games this season seems to be dull, all of them. Even the wins

Better facilities, bigger stadium, larger fanbase (even if they never seem to turn up to games). It's something to build on, and something Burnley lack, and cannot afford to risk spending money on.

 

[megadave]

Adam Johnson looks pretty good, should be a big England player in a few years?

 

[Ch3tan]

Still 0-0 at City? The text commentary on the beeb makes it sound like the dullest game ever, is it?

Maybe not dullest game ever! But it is shit indeed. And yes, 0-0

 

[Lethul]

they seem to be competing on who can give the ball away the most time in 5 minutes

 

[Jarahl]

Ye dull and rubbish, every team have shit passes, only good thing this game has been Adam Johnson tbh, he is fierce on that wing!

 

[Ch3tan]

So with all the talk of him being Ryan Giggs mark 2, do you think he's capable? Clearly he's far better for City than Robinho was, and we all know he'll never be back.

 

[Lethul]

Babel knocked out by a ball

Ye he seems good. Maybe not Ryan Giggs good but has really good close control.

 

[Jarahl]

Re reminds me much of how Giggs played in his early days, lots and lots of pace and very good close control, so yea if he gets playtime, I feel he very well could become the next Ryan Giggs tbh

 

[megadave]

My god these two are complete shit.

 

[Jarahl]

Torres substitute :worthy:

 

[Ch3tan]

Ahhh pooh bum. I forgot to make substitutions for my fantasy team, playing aoln this week and getting spanked. Got tevez, reid, lampard and etherington all in my starting lineup

 

[megadave]

excuses excuses, i havent done anything to my team either
