Football The 2010/2011 Season Thread

[Turamber]

We've gone from a team that will fight for every challenge, compete for 90 minutes week in and week out ... to a powderpuff surrender monkey. This season we've lost to Albion, Blues and Wolves. The last time we did that Jesus was in nappies.

The end of the season, and the sacking of Houllier and his useless cronies, can really not come soon enough.

I was out in Manchester tonight and saw Hugo Rodallega, Wigan Athletic striker extraordinaire in the club I was in. I said hello too

LOL, you couldn't make it up.

Spuds have to go to Anfield too remember. Personally I don't see City slipping up at this stage, I think Tottenham will have to make do with Europa League next year.

Actually it is starting to look like they possible won't get Europa League imho. If Liverpool wins today Spurs slips down to 6 with a game in hand. But they have to travel to Anfield and afaik also City?

 

[Vladamir]

Yup, would be interesting to see if they could hold onto their big guns without any european football to play next season.

I am hoping that is just fluff to get this group of players though to the end of the season. I really believe we need a big change this summer, not the manager, but we need to lose some of the dead wood and look at our defensive coaching because something is wrong there.

 

[megadave]

anyone who actually thinks Arsenal will win today? All of my Arsenal mates think they're going to lose.

 

[soze]

In the FA cup game I think we had the better team on the pitch but man u beat us with sheer effort and belief. So unless something has changed this week i can't see the team that lost to Bolton getting anything out of this. But i hope I am wrong obviously.

Strong start by Arsenal, United haven't really got their passing game going yet.

 

[Vladamir]

Always the way though, Arsenal will slowly allow United into the game and Park will nick the winner

+rep if you are right.

Wilshere learning from Gerrard?

(ok may have been a foul, but the way he reacted etc was fun )

edit:
Arsenal looking strong today. Utd not got into it at all yet. Rooney very deep

 

[Talivar]

It was a clear foul?

 

[cHodAX]

No Valencia is an issue, means we are lacking a bit of width. Rooney is dropping deep though so it looks like United want to congest the midfield as much as possible.

 

[cHodAX]

Fucking stream is driving me nuts, down every 5 seconds out of 10.

 

[Vladamir]

Sounds like mama Cho olol

 

[Corran]

oO handball??

edit:
wow, yes. And no arsenal appeals really? strange one that.

 

[megadave]

vidic wow

 

[soze]

I hate Vidic he is a tool.

 

[cHodAX]

Hand of cHod.

 

[Talivar]

seems united asked chelsea where they got their ref and linesman from!

 

[Vladamir]

But United would never cheat meights

 

[Gibbo]

There aren't much clearer handballs than that...

The case for video technology is being made very well this weekend...

Strange Arsenal didn't appeal, they must be blind.

 

[soze]

But United would never cheat meights

I have heard its only cheating when you get caught!

 

[Corran]

tbh video tech should ONLY be used on ball over the line incidents. Else play be constantly stopped.

But yus, we must have asked Chelsea how to get the officials on our side. Bad decision

 

[Corran]

I have heard its only cheating when you get caught!

That from the School of Barcelona? lol

edit:
Who predicts Arsenal will get a dodgy or weak decision in the second half?

 

[soze]

I dont think you can have video tech for that, unless there was a limit on the amount of appeals you could make. Even then it would need to be limited to times when the ball has gone out of play. Or you would get managers using the appeal to break up play. And also appealing every little foul in the build up to a opposition goal. Football is too free flowing for Video tech like a lot of different sports.

And i still believe this knowing we have been mugged of a penalty and a red card in this game.
