Football The 2010/2011 Season Thread

Careful Everz; Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.

 

[Aph3x]

Suffering equals being relegated with a record low points total twice with the same manager in charge.

 

[Ormorof]

only need two more points to be higher than derby did (they finished with 10 right?)

just need to start winning against other relegation fighters

 

[Everz]

Baron Von Greenback will make sure that doesn't happen.

 

[Ormorof]

still, it could be worse... it could always be worse!

Wolves gotten a bit unlucky a few times, but to be honest i have no idea who will go down this season, my predictions tend to fail horribly, ill just stick to FM i think (and still fail horribly :>)

 

[Everz]

Unlucky, not really. A backfour fit for the Championship, players who don't know where and if they'll be playing one week after the other, and a manager whos tactically inept and doesn't know his first XI.

'Unlucky' ran out a few weeks ago.

 

[Ch3tan]

Yet you are still only 5 points from being in the safe places, and no team has been consistent this season.

Agreeable, but honestly where is any positive performance going to come from? Our big name players mostly rot on the bench while favourites who should have been dropped in the summer continue to roam about, lots of talk of disharmony in the dressing room and players becoming frustrated with MM's tactics, has all the look of a sinking ship tbh.

 

[Ormorof]

but who to take over? Roy Keane?

 

[Everz]

Idiots say Sean O'Driscoll of Doncaster, but thats only because hes a Wolverhampton lad tbh.

I'd go for Curbishley tbh, good at steading a ship and building a club into a mid-table side.

 

[Ormorof]

or a shock return for Steve "Wally with the Brolly" Maclaren? to Britain?

 

[Influenza]

Rooney loves himself so much he even has his own picture on his shopping bags.

 

[Vladamir]

'Arry's 'ungry for qualification tonight

 

[Cerb]

(Forgive the source)

Blackpool manager Ian Holloway admits he subbed Stephen Crainey by accident in the 2-1 win against Wolves on Saturday, having wanted to replace Luke Varney with David Carney. "We got it mixed up," he said. "Varney, Carney, Crainey is a tongue-twister."
Full story: The Sun

Holloway has to be my favourite manager right now. The only one who doesn't spout BS. (unless he's on one of his rants)

What does everyone think of this?

YouTube - Red Card for Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos

Deliberately getting red cards to miss a meaningless match and start the knock-out stage with a clean slate for yellow cards. Not the first time Mourinho has done it, i assure you.

 

[Everz]

Smart, but a bigger punishment should come down on them tbh.

 

[megadave]

Yeah, it's obviously very cunning and clever but just makes a mockery of the officials and the game itself. Pretty indisputable too

UEFA are investigating, would be a massive laugh if they missed important matches now.

 

[Wonk]

Nothing will happen because it's such a big team. I can assure you they would ban players if it was a smaller team though.

It's blatant, but UEFA insist on having silly rules which allow managers this option. Wipe the yellow card slate clean after the group stages, or do not wipe it clean after a red card. Easiest options. For example, if you get a red, it should negate two yellows only, the rest you still carry.

Also, nothing will happen because it is impossible to prove. It's circumstantial + assumptions. You'd need a tape of them clearly mouthing those words, but they covered their mouths, smart

It turns out a Marseille player, Stephen M'bia did it as well and nobody cares

 

[Aph3x]

Everz I hope your team don't decide to start playing properly this weekend but after that I hope you do, Wolves are a proper football club unlike the Wigans of the Premiership. MM Was good for us with VERY limited rescources but it seems to me the sooner he starts to play Doyle and Fletcher or even Sophie Ellis Bexter up front together consistantly you'll continue to struggle. I really feel those two up top with Jarvis flying down the left you will stay up and get out of the mess your in. Keep the faith my friend.

Last year Cris and icantrecallhisname from Lyon also blatantly forced yellow cards. None cared just like barely none knew that they got fined with 10.000€ fine.

juninho


marquez from barca did it also 2 years ago, and i thought puyol did it last year but not sure.

 

[Ch3tan]

I'm fairly sure a United player has done this in recent memory, as has a chelski mercenary.

 

[megadave]

yeah i can't recall who but i'm sure an ex-Chelsea player said Mourinho would get them to do shady shit like that all the time, might have been Makelele in his autio-bio but i'm not sure.

 

[Ch3tan]

Danish mates! What happen?

 

[megadave]

tbf Rubin did spend over 40 million euros in the summer

 

[Ch3tan]

That kind of money buys you a bus and a place to park it.

 

[CorNokZ]

we playing like shit in the cold

Just need a victory against Pana at home in two weeks time

 

[Cerb]

Is it just me or does Rooney look fitter? or leaner atleast.
