It's hard work getting someone to bite these days

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Not really excited by Jagielka much tbh. £10m sounds about right to me, he's decent but not great. Should be aiming a bit higher than that IMO.

 

[gohan]

looks like ben arfa could be injured again :<


shame looked a quality signing for newcastle before injury and could end up another michael owen for you

you are becoming rather tedious in your liverpool hatred.
Support chelsea instead of hating liverpool, or haven't roman distributed this years plastic flags yet?

Oh really?

 

[gohan]

Oh really?

to be fair you don't really bait tho you just hate on Liverpool because it's fotm, you've become worse than ch3t for it.


i genrally ignore you as you have fuck all intelligent to say

David Beckham feels "there's only one team in Manchester" - ESPN Soccernet

Do wish Becks wouldn't come out with this nonsense, it only adds fuel to the fire. City are not the massive club they claim to be but they are a growing threat, that cannot be denied. The last thing anyone needs to do is start slapping City down and helping build a seige mentality, that same mentality that helped United become so successful! Ignore the bin-dippers and hope they fall away!

Shouldn't you be out collecting hub caps?

Also: BBC Sport - QPR's Adel Taarabt admits to Paris Saint-Germain talks Tarrabt bottling the premier league because he know's he's not good enough

 

[eksdee]

Well he has often talked about wanting to play in France, and I actually think QPR will be better off without him. I mean, there's no way you can build a side around a player in the way they did last season and succeed in the Premier League. The question is how will they fill that hole? I actually think Jay Bothroyd might turn out a solid signing for them.

One of my best friends is a QPR season ticket holder and doesn't seem too upset about the prospect of losing Tarrabt for exactly those reasons, but only time will tell.

‪Malaysia XI Vs Chelsea 0-1 | All Goals & Highlights | 21-7-2011 Chelsea 1-0 Malaysian‬&rlm; - YouTube

Looks like it was a pretty dire game. Pales in comparison to Utd winning 7-0. Then again if I remember rightly we had a pretty poor pre-season last year and came out of the blocks firing on all cylinders, so I'm not sure how much to take from it. Was refreshing to see Torres actually take a man on at one point, wonder if he can do it against players 4-5 times as good in the Premier League again .

Kalou said in an interview recently that AVB's 'philosophy' for the team hasn't really been cemented yet so they're mostly just working on getting match fit. I hope we see something soon, but it is a bit early to expect a new manager to mould a team completely to his vision.

 

[megadave]

Last pre-season was post world-cup though so our only first team game was the Charity Shield. This time they have no excuses, especially against a 2nd string Malaysian side. Oh well, only pre-season.

22 y/o Rajkovic looked good, first time i've really seen him, he's fucking massive. Could do well in the Prem if he had a work permit.

It isn't anything to do with FOTM, the simple fact is that too many LP fans come across as complete cocks considering how little they've won recently which probably makes it flavour of the last 20 years.

me personaly? i barely respond

[Ch3tan]

No but you have some bile when you do

It's just banter, the only real hate I've seen in these (past) threads is to Dori and his Carrick loving.

And Marc get's far worse than any lollerpool fan.

Wigan midfielder Charles N'Zogbia is to go on strike by refusing to train as his frustration boils over following the rejection of a £9m bid from Aston Villa.



this is why he's not a great signing for any club :< unfortuanly as he has bags of talent

 

[Shagrat]

Boohoo my heart b leeds. Honor your contract and stfu

Where is that from? I thought he'd matured past all that bullshit... Wigan have been really good to him, he's even said he would stay there if they could afford him.

 

[megadave]

he only seems to moan about having to play at a shit club, which seems fair enough since hes well good

 

[megadave]

jagielka seems like a pretty underwhelming signing for arsenl to go for tbh, although significantly better than some ligue 2 french defender

That may well be true although I think it kind of skews the fact that LP fans liked to use league titles while they had more league of them than MU.

That looked rather nasty to be on the receiving end.

I't was dire! Even if Chelsea played better in the second half the Malasyian XI players were better than the starting players as well and towards the end if was actually close to becoming 0-1 a couple of times (I don't count the chelsea goal as a goal )

But I've heard that they are working for goal cameras now?

 

[eksdee]

Pre-season innit..! Well, can only get better at least.

Pff. He might have hurt JT's foot.
