Yeah spurs might struggle this year until they get knocked out of the CL, but by then their chances in the league might be fucked.

They're not going to get anywhere with a front line of Crouch and Defoe tbh

Blackburn again!

 

[soze]

Spuds for us. Do we go for revenge for last year and play the first team or risk the kids getting a hiding again? Tough choice for Wenger there.

 

[megadave]

I hope we play the youths and expect we will, even if it means losing.

 

[cHodAX]

Oooh, I have been to Southampton but I've never been to Scunthorpe...

 

[CorNokZ]

Btw, did anyone see Inzaghis goal against Barca?

As my brother always says: "If you could clone Inzaghi and Ruud, you'd have the perfect striker"

ps.

Copenhagen to win the Danish league again this year with OB second

Copenhagen will also advance from the group stage in CL

Can't be wrong about CL 2 years in a row!

 

[Shagrat]

Draw for the third round of the Carling Cup:

Chelsea v Newcastle United

[Raven]

Fuck yeah. Livershit in the Carling cup!

and Arsenal vs Tottenham should be pretty good too.

 

[Achilles]

Liverpool have signed Raul Meireles for ~ 11 million according to their website.
Reds complete Meireles deal - Liverpool FC

Dont know what people think? I read in the Gaurdian that Barca were going to sign him if they couldnt get Mascherano, which seems a little dubious.

 

[Marc]

Oooh, I have been to Southampton but I've never been to Scunthorpe...

You've never been to old trafford either

 

[Bahumat]

Not sure if people saw this, but Nani seems to have scored alot of goals at Manchester United.

 

[Ch3tan]

BBC Sport - Football - AC Milan agree deal to sign Ibrahimovic from Barcelona

 

[Wonk]

As my brother always says: "If you could clone Inzaghi and Ruud, you'd have the perfect striker"

clone park and Ronaldinho

 

[cHodAX]

You've never been to old trafford either

I was there today, a couple of hours before I went around to your mams.

Zlatan confirmed on loan to Milan for a year with the option to buy for £20m

Sky Sports | Football | Primera Division | News | Milan confirm Zlatan deal


And Jose confirmed as a manager-come sex pest

Sky Sports | Football | Premier League | News | Wes backs Jose for United post

And Sneijder added: "I know how excited he is to get back to the Premier League. When he talked about it, he was like a little kid. He was so excited. It really turns him on.

 

[Talivar]

Why do football players almost always get angry and lash out with little girly slaps to the face?

 

[Lethul]

Anyone know anything abouit Meireles?

 

[Urgluf]

Anyone know anything abouit Meireles?

I saw him play at the world cup.. Looked like a fine player to me. Not sure if he can even come close to replacing masch though..

 

[Aph3x]

1-0 Get in there Darren Bent lad. We played some fantastic stuff this afternoon, especially second half.

Hopefully it will give us a huge lift and we can start to push on a bit now, especially if the two signings which are rumoured to be happening tomorrow / Tuesday come off.

 

[cHodAX]

Bye-bye Mancinio! Only a matter of time now.

 

[Vladamir]

Odds on Martin O'Neill being in charge by christmas?

 

[Lethul]

To be fair, only Essien can (he is far better tho!) imho

 

[soze]

BBC News - Arsenal player Jack Wilshere arrested after 'fracas'

I though Jack was a shoe in for England captain but it looks like he broke up the fight

 

[Turamber]

Odds on Martin O'Neill being in charge by christmas?

I think he wants that job, only the Celtic job would be as attractive ... and going back to a club can be a big mistake.

Nice three points for the Villa today but by goodness we were awful. Two nice moves but other than that absolutely abysmal.

 

[Raven]

He should stick with micky mouse teams like villa. Celtic would be a good option but anything else...lol

 

[Vladamir]

Jose drew his first game as Real manager today away at Mallorca, nothing like giving the opposition a chance eh Marc?

 

[Turamber]

He should stick with micky mouse teams like villa. Celtic would be a good option but anything else...lol

Mickey Mouse was the most successful mouse in the world. If you really think Villa are a nothing club though I would have to assume you are 15 or just an imbecile. Perhaps both.

[Raven]

What have they won recently? What have they come close to winning recently?


Not a lot.
