Football The 2011/2012 Season Thread

Who cares? We ruined Spurs or as ITV said, it was a drobbing

 

[soze]

haha now that looks like a goal, and there is the FA's argument for no video replays. ITV ect all said it was a goal at first until that one Camera angle so there is every chance video replays would have screwed the Chavs out of a goal.

Hell of a week coming up for Real Madrid. Bayern Munich midweek, Barcelona at the weekend and then Bayern again midweek. Fingers crossed for at least 6 more Ronaldo goals! 57 goals in all competitions so far, that doesn't include his international goals!

It's not fair really

Messi has 63 goals and 25 assists this season for Barcelona, hopefully he wont get any more

I knew that was coming! How many would he score without Xavi and Iniesta?

 

[cHodAX]

Sony to launch Red Playstation 3 in honour of Liverpools Carling Cup win!

Not really relevant is it?

 

[eksdee]

What, winning the Carling Cup? No, not really.

Shut your piehole and back me up!

Bah, damn stealth edit ruining my joke caLLous. :F

 

[eksdee]

Fu!

Well, I would say, the two best players in the world in an utterly shit league, what do you expect? Then I remember Athletico Bilbao and I don't know what the fuck to think anymore.

Talk about a horrible family experience, least the football club will be looking after her though.

59 - Robin van Persie has scored or assisted 59 goals in his last 50 Premier League appearances. Master.

Now that goes some way to restoring my faith in humanity.

Just been reading that, /salute to Udinese.

 

[soze]

That is a touch of class right there.

 

[DaGaffer]

So, Nicolas Gaitan in exchange for Fabio Da Silva (loan) and Macheda (perm) for 20m. Good bit of business I reckon, but I hope its not the only midfield buy for United this summer. Another deeper-lying player would be nice.

Ray Mears: BEAST.

hello FA invest in video technology already.

Yeah, so the really interesting and funny stuff that happens in football can NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

I'm guessing everyone is still sore about that beach-ball scoring against Liverpool eh? Must really hurt you guys.

Or is it the Hand Of God? Are we still sore about that or do we think it's a great part of footballing history that our sport would be much poorer without?


/waits for some cunt to say something along the line of "bad decisions could cost the clubs millions, or a place in teh champions leagzor" or some such shite, because said cunt is too dumb to realise that money is ruining the game...


Edit: Looking forward to Chelski in teh FA cup

 

[DaGaffer]

That's a pretty poor reason not to invest in goal line tech Scouse, so we can have future miscarriages of justice to moan about. NB. Both examples you've described wouldn't have been affected by goal line tech, which is the only kind of video technology anyone has mooted for football.

What, winning the Carling Cup? No, not really.

A cup win is a cup win! no matter which cup it is! it is silverware any team in the Prem would take winning it over not winning it.. it's just the only team good enough were Liverpool

Not if it means scraping past a Championship team on penalties at the expense of missing Champions League. No team would make that swap.

You could say the same about Alonso/Ozil for Real Mardid tbh

 

[Keitanz]

How was it at expense of missing the Champions League?

If we win the FA cup (we most likely won't) then this will be regarded as our best season since the champions league win in 2005 probably...

 

[Wazzerphuk]

You threw everything at the cup competitions trying to win them. Yo haven't shown anywhere near the same desire for the league as you have done the cups this season.

Around December it seemed that we were really not going to get in to the Champions League, so I guess the players got disheartened by that and just didn't bother playing as well as they should in the league.. but the cups were there to be won..

Our best hope was to finish 6th while still concentrating a lot on the prem, instead I guess the club decided to focus more on the cups and win some silverware after many seasons without any... makes sense..

Not to mention the mass amount of shit which has happened this season.. quite a lot of decisions against us / the suarez incident / best player getting injured for 6 months of the season / hitting the woodwork about 30 times...

 

[eksdee]

Suarez racially abusing another player was definitely unlucky/injustice (delete as appropriate). Amirite?

Shit club, shit fans, proven day after day by you.

Firstly, the quote said "video tec".

Secondly, your argument is massively incorrect, naive and RUBBISH

Shit club, shit fans, proven day after day by you.

At least we're a big club so we've got enough fans to fill a stadium.

Oh, and we're clever enough to be able to read our watches - so we can come out before the second half starts...

PFA Player of the Year shortlist: Joe Hart, Sergio Aguero, David Silva, Wayne Rooney, Robin Van Persie, Scott Parker.
PFA Young Player of the Year shortlist: Danny Welbeck, Daniel Sturridge, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Kyle Walker, Sergio Aguero and Gareth Bale



Do they just automatically include Rooney every year regardless of how he's played then? Joe Hart hasn't even been the league's best goalie, i'd much rather have Sir Chesney myself. Scott Parker, boy how the English can be overrated. And David Silva.. been poor all this calender year. Oh well, if RVP doesn't win it'll be silly. Goes to show the lack of consistent individual talent in the league at the moment.

Aguero should cruise the young player award although at 23 I don't think anyone considers him a young player.

Any glaring omissions? For us you could argue a case for Mata but i'm not bothered
