Football The 2010/2011 Season Thread

[Everz]

Getting the feeling that there is a massive January cull coming. I can see McCarthy, Hughes, Houllier, Grant, Hodgson and possibly Ancelloti all getting the bullet before the end of the next transfer window.

Mick is a cert tbh, fans have turned on him, hes falling out with some of the players (Fletcher, Jones etc) and just hasn't had a clue of whats what for the past 6 months. Hughes has somehow dragged Fulham into a relegation battle so that another one on the cards. Houllier will stay till the end, same for Von Greenback and Hodgson.

 

[Madmaxx]

Even though Coventry were questionable in defense once they went behind it was another solid 3 points for QPR today. And getting the result early in the day only puts pressure on the others around us, great first half of the season for QPR lets hope we can carry on.

p.s I hope we can keep walker on loan he is a cracking defender.

 

[tierk]

We're going to get spanked by Man City today, not looking forward to it at all.

Oh dear. 3-0 already.

 

[Everz]

Turamber, i'll get the balloon out for the West Midland Relegation party .

 

[Everz]

Just noticed the Blouses are in the bottom three..

Surely Blues/Villa and Us for the relegation?.. i'd actually savour that haha.

With Spurs taking the lead we're out of the top 4, wonder if that's the wake up call Carlo wanted

 

[cHodAX]

chod i dont think that this guy is lazy, maybe the pressure is the main reason.

Have seen him play live probably 30 times in the last four years bud plus maybe 100 times on TV, he is bloody lazy and most United fans are sick of him only playing when he feels like it. He has loads of ability but he only plays to that ability maybe 1 in 5 games and frankly I would rather see Darron Gibson give his chance than see United waste anymore time on a talented player who cannot be bothered.

Who needs 11 men eh, two wins with 10 men now

Gibson probably will become much better then Carrick as long as he works all the time.

Currently I think I would prefer playing Fletcher and Anderson in the centre. Yes Carrick got the potential to play some better passes then that pair but as you said he doesnt do it regularly enough.

Gibbo worries me, he hasn't progressed much at all in the last 18 months, really he should have already pushed Carrick aside after so many woeful performances and sadly he hasn't. I give Gibson another 18 months, if he hasn't made it by then he will be gone and replaced by the likes of Cleverly, Morrison and others.

 

[Corran]

You are right that Gibson should be ahead of Carrick by now, unfortunately it seems that our youth been needing extra time recently which been a worry.

Cleverly looks like he coming along nicely at the moment, lets hope he can get consistancy in his game - something alot of our midfielderslack

 

[Ch3tan]

Well they are both starting tonight! Ando will make them both look normal imo

 

[Turamber]

Blues have two games in hand though, and you and they have managers with bottle. We have a retired Frenchman whose crowning glory was signing some players who won the European Cup with another manager.

 

[Corran]

not been the best of matches tonight :s

 

[Ch3tan]

Yep, pretty fucking poor

 

[cHodAX]

Rooney is the problem, first touch has been shocking again and too many misplaced passes in the final third. He needs to buck up or fuck off.

 

[Bahumat]

1-0 Berbatov! great pass by Gibson

Edit:- Ben Foster was awful there, glad he's no longer with us

Seems that both him and Drogba have spent this season in the last one

 

[Vladamir]

Zomg a Barcelona betrayer, get your pitchfork Marc!

Sky Sports | Football | Primera Division | News | Nolito open to Real switch

 

[Bahumat]

Shame they equalise via hand ball, but can't complain too much as everyone has this kind of thing happen for/against them.

 

[cHodAX]

Well that wasn't unexpected, United have gone to sleep since the goal. Berbatov and Gibson have alot to answer for as well, they should have closed the game out but didn't look arsed.

You mean they returned to how they were before the goal

He is actually a pretty good goalkeeper and Man Utd could have done with him this season.

I see Rooney still has not returned to form gonna be on his way out pretty soon I bet. No idea who will take him though.

 

[megadave]

On his way out? lolwot? He just got a new contract.

 

[Keitanz]

On his way out? lolwot? He just got a new contract.

Yeah, showing he's worth it at the moment isn't he ? Meh was either the new huge money contract or sell him for about 10-15m in January..

 

[Cerb]

I predict Torres goes first :kissit:

 

[Keitanz]

I predict Torres goes first :kissit:

Probably, if he still wants to leave and join a team in the Champions League then he is an idiot, have you seen him this season? abysmal.

 

[cHodAX]

You really know fuck all about United or football in general. He had 18 months left on his deal, he would never be sold for less than £30 million, Fergie would stick him in the reserves and let him rot until his contract ran out before being bullied into selling him for a pitance.

The truth about Rooney is that he is not in a good place at the moment, his marriage is a sham and falling apart but a divorce is going to cost him 70% of his fortune. His form is suffering because his home life sucks and his is not motivated to play because it isn't bringing him any happiness right now. None of that changes the fact that when on form he is a brilliant player and could command a spot in any side anywhere in the world, it makes me laugh when all you bitter bastards try bring him down as a footballer because I just know that at some point his is going to find the form of last year and ram it all down your fucking throats.

He might be an stupid ugly bastard but Rooney is still be best English forward by a fucking mile and it eats you all alive that he doesn't play for your club.

Rumours all over t'internet that Houllier had an almighty row with two of our young players after the game, before he criticised a third youngster on the radio. There are other rumours that he has been invited to leave either now or after the Chelsea game.

Last rumour sounds a bit odd but by golly I hope he's done one. Having three managers in a season isn't ideal but we were going nowhere under that has-been.

He needs to go before he destroys what little credibility he has left. Who you replace him with though? I have no idea.
