Football The 2010/2011 Season Thread

[Wazzerphuk]

Usamanov won't sell to Kroenke, and vice versa. Means we stay the same. Good stuff.

Kroenke >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Usamanov though, that guy's a dodgy prick. Kroenke knows how to run sports teams, so even if he could takeover there'd be no worries.

 

[Vladamir]

He looks more out of his depth with every game. It seems he's not the same player without Gerrard. Unless chelski change their entire system, and most of their players, they aren't going to be able to service Torres. A good footballer should be able to adapt, Torres clearly can't. One trick pony - pretty amazing at that trick, but utter waste otherwise.

This. Torres just doesn't fit the system we play. The only player that knows how to play in Torres is Benayoun. Everyone else is used to having a proper target man, which Torres isn't.

I'd be surprised if Drogba is moved on in the summer, he is still a talent but hasn't had the greatest season along with 80% of the other players. I do get the impression though that Torres could just be another Shevchenko TBH. Can't play with a strike partner, and doesn't fit our style of play.

Would rather have Sturridge and Anelka leading the line if Drogba goes.

 

[Ch3tan]

God Ozil is an amazing player. He is going to be more immense than Ineista and Xavi combined in his prime.

edit:/ I never thought I'd say this... after the first leg, I welcome the ITV commentary team, they are like a breath of fresh air after Ray "stay on you feet" Wlkins.

 

[Cerb]

What the fuck is McManaman talking about?

 

[Ch3tan]

Who cares, it's not hypothetical's, and no one's being told to stay on their feet.

 

[Vladamir]

LOL Gomes

 

[Madmaxx]

thats just fucking awful lol

 

[Ch3tan]

Ronaldo

 

[Ch3tan]

Also Raul has turned back the years and ravaged Inter over two legs.

 

[Madmaxx]

almost again hah, gomez's nerves must be on edge

 

[Ch3tan]

almost again hah, gomez's nerves must be on edge

Cassias' face said it all, didn't celebrate the goal at all. Horror keeping

 

[megadave]

Never seen another keeper do that but seen Gomes do it twice in a few months

Schalke look pretty good.

 

[Vasconcelos]

Tottenham paid the inexperience, they mainly lost due to:

- horrible tackling decisions by Crouch

- unforgiveable mistake from a champions league goalie

- and simply cuz overall, their squad is worse than madrid's

my 2 cents

 

[Everz]

Never seen another keeper do that but seen Gomes do it twice in a few months

Schalke look pretty good.

United will rip them apart. Schalke blow hot/cold far to often. The reason they aren't even going to get into Europe next season.

 

[Cerb]

I don't know they are going to be resting a lot of players for the two games and United play them in a run of pretty big games. United to scrape through 1-0 over two legs or something.

 

[megadave]

United have hardly breezed through against opposition like Schalke the last few years either.

 

[Marc]

Reports from spain that De Gea has agreed to join nited on a 5 year deal, transfer fee of £17.5m

 

[Marc]

And Mata on his way to chelsea according to lolmarca

 

[Everz]

This is a genuine letter of complaint written by a Grimsby Town fan to their players after they lost 0-2 at home to Bath City in the F.A. Cup.
____________________________________________

Dear Players of Grimsby Town FC

I am writing with regard to my absolute astonishment and disbelief as to the sheer magnitude of your complete lack of talent and failure to carry out the job for which you are paid to do. I am not aware of any swear word or other derogatory phrase in my current vocabulary which comes close to a description of your ‘performance’ (and I use that term loosely) this afternoon, but let me just say that you have collectively reached a level of inadequacy and ineptitude that neither I nor modern science had previously considered possible.

In fact I recall a time, in my youth, when I decided to call in sick at work and instead spent the entire day in my one bedroom flat wearing nothing but my underpants, eating toast and wánking furiously over second-rate Scandinavian porn. Yet somehow, I still managed to contribute more to my employer in that one Andrex-filled day than you complete bunch of toss-baskets have contributed to this club in your entire time here.

I would genuinely like to know how you pathetic little píssflaps sleep at night, knowing full well that you have taken my money and that of several thousand others and delivered precisely fúck all in return. I run a business myself, and I believe I could take any 4,000 of my customers at random; burn down their houses, impregnate their wives and then dismember their children before systematically sending them back in the post, limb-by-limb, and still ensure a level of customer satisfaction which exceeds that which I have experienced at Blundell Park at any time so far this season.

You are a total disgrace, not only to your profession, not only to the human race, but to nature itself. This may sound like an exaggeration, but believe me when I say that I have passed kidney stones which have brought me a greater level of pleasure and entertainment than watching each of you worthless excuses for professional footballers attempt to play a game you are clearly incapable of playing, week-in, week-out.

I considered, for a second, that I was perhaps being a little too harsh. But then I recalled that I have blindly given you all the benefit of the doubt for too long now. Yes, for too long you have failed to earn the air you’ve been breathing by offering any kind of tangible quality either as footballers or as people in general. As such, I feel it’s only fair that your supply runs out forthwith.

I trust, at this precise moment in time, that Mr Fenty is in his office tapping away on the Easyjet web site booking you all one-way flights to Zurich, complete with an overnight stay with our cheese eating friends at Dignitas. Don’t bother packing your toothbrush – you won’t need it.

In the event that our beloved chairman can’t afford the expense (understandable given that he’s soon going to have to assemble a new squad from scratch), then I am prepared to sell my family (including my unborn child) to a dubious consortium of Middle Eastern businessmen in order to pay for the flights. Christ, I’ll drive you there myself, one-by one, without sleep, if I have to.

Failing that, understanding that most dubious Middle Eastern businessmen are tied-up purchasing Premier League football clubs, I ask you to please take matters into your hands. Use your imagination, guys – strangle yourselves or cover yourself in tinfoil and take a fork to a nearby plug socket, or something. Just put yourselves and us fans out of our collective misery.

So, in summary, you pack of repugnant, sputum-filled, invertebrate bástards; leave this club now and don’t you fúcking dare look back. You’ve consistently demonstrated less passion and desire than can commonly be found within the contents of a sloth’s scrótum, so frankly you can just all fúck off – don’t pass go, don’t collect your wages, don’t ever come back to this town again.

I look forward to you serving me at my local McDonald’s drive-thru in the near future.

Yours sincerely


A very disillusioned Mariner

 

[ileks]

Fucking lol. I remember reading something like that when Grimsby went down a couple of seasons ago (I think it was grimsby!). Maybe it was the same guy.

 

[megadave]

So who's seen the Keiron Dyer, Rio Ferdinand, Frank Lampard (+ladies) sex tape? Aoami has been obsessing about it.

 

[Vladamir]

Does Frank release it from outside the box?

 

[eksdee]

Rofl Vlad, repped.

Rio stirring the pot.

Would have been funnier if Rooney had said it!

Still bitter marc, tragic!

See you in the final

 

[Talivar]

Schalke vs Real Madrid final IMO, but i would prefer United vs Real with United winning it.

 

[Everz]

Schalke aren't as good as they are being made out to be. They beat a pisspoor Inter managed by an absolute muppet in Leonardo. United will trounce them.

 

[Talivar]

That type of thinking is only reason i think shalke will win, was same last year vs bayern.
