Football The 2010/2011 Season Thread

Does anyone agree that in terms of competitiveness and entertainment value, that this season has been one of the best?

Seems any team can beat any team, only got to see the bottom half that even Wigan with a few results going there way could push for a Europa League spot.

Yes I agree, sadly the quality of football has been average and below though, especially from the top 6 sides who have showed an alarming lack of creativity at times.

Yes although I said it quite a while ago about this season being epic in some ways but quite annoying if you only look at your own team.

dodgy penalty for Liverpool there. guess they need all the help they can get. lol. Linesman fucked that one up as it was clearly just outside the box!

Yeah, was a bad decision by the linesman. Sunderland have been quite a bit better than Liverpool but don't connect with their final passes, luckily

Eager for the City v Chelsea game. Suprisingly I wouldn't mind seeing Chelsea win just so that City miss out on 4th but we really need Spurs to go on a run for that happen anyway, probably best for United if they draw.

It won't happen, MU should just about fall over the finish line.

Seems United are eyeing up Douglas Costa again, haven't seen much of him but the price tag seems very high, anyone watched him enough to comment?

I'd take a draw tbh, we can still go ahead if we win our game in hand but the one thing we can't afford to do is lose ground while City are in this slump.

Aye, just with them having nothing else to play for beyond the FA cup (only 2 games to go in that as well) I would imagine they will really start to focus on the league and that Champions League spot. For that reason alone this is going to be your best chance to reverse that gap, they could easily take 15 points from those last 5 games and that would pile the pressure on. Better to beat them today and have them fight it out for 4th with Spuds.

Torres and Kalou starting, Anelka and Drogba on the bench.

LOLWAT

Edit: Dzeko starting up front for City with no Tevez, silver lining I suppose

It is who to pick out of forwards not scoring, ironically it is Kalou who is scoring more recently.

 

[Vladamir]

Just a shame he only does the business coming off the bench. Mark my words his first touch and decision making will be utterly atrocious from the off

Here we go...

Treated how?

 

[Corran]

Treated how?

The england management being so god damn disrespectful and informing the media of their intentions rather then talking to Rio about it first. Just would have made me laugh so much that the person they acted so poorly in favour off was unable to take up the role

edit:
Such classy fans made it into an England ground. Twats with a laser pen and trying to shine it in the refs face because he booking a chelsea player.

Well that is nothing new, look at the Beckham incident.

 

[cHodAX]

Looking at the stats, how are Chelsea not winning this game?

 

[Vladamir]

KING DAVID!

Boom

 

[Embattle]

A lack of a scoring striker is how.

 

[cHodAX]

I brought Chelsea good luck, go me!

 

[Embattle]

YaY

 

[Deebs]

[Vladamir]

Fapfapfapfapfap

Don't ask me why but I am sat here chuckling at that

 

[Vladamir]

4 points behind with a game in hand, not beyond the realms of possibility

Not cracking one off yourself at the same time are you?
