Football The 2009/2010 Season Thread

[Embattle]

So you think Cesc saw a defender running up behind him then hooked his leg though the defenders then swung hard enough for the ball he fractured his leg? That is fairly stupid not only can he see out the back of his head but he also risked hurting himself rather than just falling over. That or they accidentally came together, was not a red card was maybe not a penalty but it sure as shit was not a dive.

And you can think players deserve broken legs as much as you like but imo that makes you a twat.

The place where his leg ended up may not of been where he wanted it but he wanted the penalty enough to get deliberately tangled up and while he didn't want to break his leg but I can honestly say I don't feel sorry for him at all....which again applies to all players who try to cheat in football.

Whatever you think it makes me is like water off a ducks back.

 

[Ch3tan]

O'shea and Hargreaves should both be on the bench for the chelsea match. They have both been very missed, their ability to play nearly anywhere will be important in the run in.

 

[Embattle]

Is Hargreaves finally uninjured?

 

[Ch3tan]

Yep, he's played a couple of reserve games and has been training with the first team for the last two weeks.
He is playing with a little pain, but apparently it is getting better with each day.

 

[Embattle]

The way I see tomorrow is if we win we stand a good chance of still slipping up, however if you win then it is in the bag.

lol, cheating is bad. Yes.
But even I cant accuse Fab of cheating there. He was clearly swinging to hit the ball with as much power as he could on the volley, and Puyol simply was positioned badly and he accidently got tied up with Fab. No intent from either player in that situation, but it was a penalty.

This happens all the time, legs get tangled up as 2 players run for the same ball. They cross paths and the one in front gets tripped and wins the foul more often then not.

Now, If he got a small amount of contact then I am sure he probably would have hit the deck if he couldnt get a shot off, and hope that he gets the decision. But that wasnt the case so we wouldnt know.

Simply, it was poor defending by puyol by allowing Fab to get goalside of him. He tried to make up for it but again positioned himself badly where he would always end up tripping the opponent. He shouldnt have come up behind Fab, but instead try to get around the side and lever him away as the ball came in.

And I dont know how you can be a chelsea fan and accuse others of cheating. Drogba is a beast, and yet he always eating grass for no reason, so if you glad fab got a broken leg for something he had no control over then I dont want to know what you would like to happen to Drogba.

really?

arsenal have an easy run in. they're at home to wolves tomorrow, so it should be an easy 3 points.

I reckon the utd chelsea game will be a draw, which would leave the top 3 on 73, 72 and 71 points respectively.

Perhaps a little quoting of my comments would help you:

I should also point out wishing for something and thinking someone deserves something is different.

but my opinion wouldn't change no matter what team.

Sorry but Arsenal are in a sorry state at the moment with injuries etc, the mid week game made it worse even with the easier run in.

It's been announced by Morgan Freeman that the use of bold text means you're gay.

[Raven]

Another 3 points for the mighty cobblers! I could have a trip to Wembley to see my team this season which a lot of you glory hunting premiership fans wont

 

[Marc]

Barcelona draw, St Helens lose.

Im keeping my gob shut in future

Karma for all the balls you spouted in the last 7 days.

 

[Vladamir]

Drogba on the bench apparently

Guess he's either not fit or Carlo doesn't want to change the formula from last week.

 

[Ch3tan]

slight groin strain. Sounds like it's either worse than they are saying, or Carlo is taking a big risk.

 

[Bahumat]

It's ok Corran, we can run away, get married and watch every football game!

 

[JingleBells]

First blood to Chelsea, lovely finish from Joe Cole

 

[Bahumat]

we're giving the ball away far too much

 

[Corran]

We are looking tired, sloppy and unmotivated. Hate that we always seem to have a big game after a midweek game (had Liverpool earlier in season, lost. Had Aston Villa, lost. Had Everton, got mullered)

Chelsea have enjoyed their weeks rest and really want the result. They deserve the lead.

That said, Mike Dean, fucking awful ref and let the media influence decisions. 2 penalties not given (1 each side, but anelka one may not happen if park one was given). Cant say the guy surprised me though, after what Olsson said about diving because mike dean would give a penalty.

Scholes can come off, Carrick on.
Or Scoles off, Nani on. Park back in centre with Giggs and see where it goes.

Neville has again cost us. Sure there was a man going wide, but ffs Malouda was always going into the middle. that was awful.
(hmm as i type the commentators mention it)

Good finish by Cole, but come on Fergi. Stop bloody playing Neville and play the Da Silva's. Either are better.

edit;
I said before the game to the missus I was nervous about this game and would happily take a draw. Hope we can get it.

Another sub may be macheda so he can run the defenders... Berbatov is doing almost nothing so worth trying to stretch them

 

[Ch3tan]

Oh fuck right off, the first goal you deserved, that one was shocking. Linesman was right inline, how the hell can he not see that?

 

[Bahumat]

Oh My Fucking God. I could see us possibly getting 1 goal to make it a draw, but after that blind **** linesman never saw the 2 players offside, he's removed any chance we had.

Yaay Macheda! I hope I eat my words lol

 

[Ch3tan]

Get in Kiki, if that fucking lino had got the call right this would be a set up to a possible victory.

 

[Corran]

kiki done good there, as did nani.

Guess the FA want Chelsea to win the league though with that decision

edit:
slught possibility of handball but hard to call intent

..
with all thie stime wasting etc there better be 5min+ added time

 

[Corran]

man utd 1:Chelsea 1:FA 1.

everyone can have a point, well done FA

 

[megadave]

Fuck that was so painful to watch.

 

[Ch3tan]

That was a horrible defeat, not deserved by chelsea on their second half performance. Draw was the right result.

Oh well, with all the to and fro this season, it's still not over. Chelsea's to throw away though.

 

[megadave]

Great deserved win.

Got our goal and kept Utd from making any chances, Italian style.

wouldnt say it was deserved. You dominated first half, we dominated second half. Should have been a draw tbh. Probably would have been if not for the dodgy linesman as you could see a goal coming from the moment Kiki and Nani came on.

Now to go shoot some people in MW2 and pretend it the linesman
