Football The 2009/2010 Season Thread

well atleast valencia will offer support. we dont have a single decent option to play attacking right, we really need to buy someone to slot in there.

 

[cHodAX]

good to see certain Utd fans return to the thread when they start doing well

Actually I have been pulling night shifts for a while and if you check my post rate you will see I haven't been around much full stop. After each game we lost I made posts, no point bitching on about losing, you have to move on.

Lastly, I haven't taken the piss out of Chelsea unlike many of you did when United lost, I prefer to show a little class.

 

[soze]

I was actually going to say there seem to be more cocky Chel$ki fans than ever before that got something to do with them being top?

 

[Talivar]

Ive never mocked anyone! I think all 3 top sides will lose yet more points before the end.

 

[Marc]

FS come on Barca

valencia does a good defensive job indeed,

i stayed about in the thread through bad spell, good to take thebad with the good. even if season falling apart

Go go Espanyol! Show em who's the boss of that city!

 

[Marc]

Espanyol are the aston villa of la liga. Just hoof it up field and hope for the best

think that is a bit harsh, villa seem to only do that when desperate, or gabby is out injuried. Their front men are good in the end so why not use it, spurs use crouch to good affect by doing that. They know he wins the ball or is fouled.

 

[Marc]

Tell you what, Espanyol have totally shut Messi down tonight.

Espanyol would pwn Arsenal

 

[Embattle]

The Prem at the moment is about who can limp across the finish line first.

 

[Marc]

That was BS. We were breaking with 10 seconds left and the ref blows for full time. Messi was going to score, it was so obvious.

 

[cHodAX]

La Liga down to 1 point if Madrid can beat Valencia, mon Madrid!

Could be worse, i remember in our Carling Cup final vs Tottenham, the ref blew the whistle just as Kalou had pulled his leg back to shoot from a good position in the box

And fuck Madrid, they're such a cnut of a club.

I'm glad Espanyol managed that with 6 first team players out injured

 

[Wonk]

lol, atletico madrid are truely unlucky.

*yawn* Who is "we" today by the way? Barcelona, Everton, some football-team-with-a-funny-ball or you and the voices?

Villa gave Everton a football lesson in the first half of our game on Wednesday, not a long ball in sight.

Congratulations. Everytime ive seen villa play on sky its hit and hope, or do they just save that for the sky games? Nothing to be ashamed of though, its got you into a good position in the league table.

Tom Hicks wants £800 million for Liverpool - Telegraph

Dream on

 

[Raven]

Its shaping up to be a great end to the season again, Arsenal should beat Wigan today which will throw it even more open again, though they would be relying on some upsets.

Predictions

Arsenal
Win vs Wigan
Draw vs Shitty
Win vs Blackburn
Win vs Fulham

UTD
Win vs Spurs
Win vs Sunderland
Win vs Stoke

Cheslea
Win vs Stoke
Draw vs Liverpool
Win vs Wigan

UTD 85 Points
Chelsea 84 Points
Arsenal 81 Points

I think Spurs will just scrape the 4th spot.


After our loss to Rochdale I think our season is pretty much over now

 

[Turamber]

hit and hope

We play direct at times but hit and hope? Nah. Nothing like a proper long ball team, just wouldn't work with wingers in the team or ball playing central midfielders like Petrov and Milner.

Not a chance in hell, it has debt and needs some serious investment in the ground and team.

 

[Raven]

That is a truly stupid figure. Add to that figure the new stadium they desperately need along with some serious spending on the squad nobody in their right mind would pay that.

 

[Talivar]

Everton beat chelsea and united fans laughed
Blackburn drew with chelsea and united fans mocked
Spurs beat chelsea and again people now saying united will win league

Problem is this year united and chelsea been as bad as each other because...
Everton then went on to beat united
Blackburn then went on to draw with united
spurs? well lets wait and see

Also to counter my own argument Liverpool beat united so could just aswell beat chelsea.

So what if she has a cock? She is still a pretty tidy looking bird!

Dont bother arguing with blinkered boy! Pointless. He clearly watches 1 Villa match a year. One (of 2) the reasons i like to watch Villa is they often play good football (unless it carew/heskey forward line when they rely more on longer balls). The other reason is the number of English players

 

[Raven]

Football team in using player strengths shocker.

 

[Vladamir]

Basically this season comes down to us having to win at Anfield.

Liverpool have Athletico at home on the thursday (presuming Athletico are able to fly in by then), so whether Rafa decides to rest Gerrard and Torres (if he's even fit) after that game, who knows.

I just hope our overpaid nonces (read: JT in particular) haven't fucked it.

I think Robbie Keane was pleased to score yesterday:
