Football The 2011/2012 Season Thread

I just watched the 12 minute highlights and the penalty could not be more obvious. It makes zero sense for RVP to dive in that circumstance he had a tap in and went down before the ball passed him. Had he gone down when the ball had gone then maybe he dived.

Ramsey did not have a very good game again. I would bench him next week and start the OX in the middle like the Milan game, hope shaking things up will bring a performance.

You know it is easy to see why Wenger gets so much support from Arsenal fans....you are all slowly turning in to mini versions of him

When you think of the games today it really is going to be very tense with various teams needing to win who are playing each other, then there is next week which will still leave a lot in the balance no matter what happens today.

FM12 help; So I've played a few months to get the feel for the game, will probably start again so I know what I'm doing from week 1.

Who are the stars to look out for, promising kids to sign early?

Current game is as Wigan, will either restart as them or a championship team. So assume a low budget.

Totally agree. 2 pens to Arsenal and 1 to Norwich imo, 2nd Norwich was a good clearence defender getting the ball. Ref had an absolute shocker. The RVP pen was an absolute gimmie, pushed and tripped, no question. Another incident on free kick where Holt literally had Kosceilny in a bear hug could make it 3 v 1 on pens. Ramsey could have quite easily gone with a red and it was a good move to replace him.

I'm starting to believe Podolski will be a good move for Arsenal, someone who will actually attack the box. The amount of balls we put across with no one there is quite unbelievable. Song was solid in defence and attack and the only player who gave Holt some of his own medicine. Sagna out is a huge blow and breaking his leg in that manner is really bizarre, it was the leg he took the ball down with not the landing leg.


CMON the VILLA!!!!

 

[Raven]

Stuck a pound on Villa to go down.

Wenger suggested after the game that the damage was done in an earlier tackle and that incident just fished it off. Like the Cesc one vs Barce actual break happened when he took the pen but the damage happened earlier. Not sure on the truth of it all.

The most likely explanation, small fracture made worse. Interested to hear your views on how Podolski will fit in?

You have to laugh.

IMO, that will depend on RVP. If he stays then I suppose we will play Song and Jack in the middle with RVP dropping off into the Bergkamp role with Podolski upfront. If RVP leaves then Song and Aaron in the middle with Jack in the AM role and Podolski up front alone. Either way I think big Nick and Park will be on there way this summer.

He wouldn't be a bad signing, but not exactly the kind of signing we really need..

He has been Fulham's best player up there with Dembele this season, wouldn't hurt to sign him but... meh

If Persie goes in the summer then there will be insane pressure on Podolski to replicate what Van Persie has done. Without his goals you would have about 20-30points less than you have at the moment.. if not more!

So if he does go just hope Podolski gets a 1 in 2 ratio http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo.../Lukas-Podolskis-Cologne-game-ends-chaos.html btw, insane!

He would be a decent signing for you but offering Kyut and a little cash is a slap in the face for Fulham. Kyut is past his sell by date, Fulham can demand a good fee for Dempsey and get it to spend on a couple of good players.

 

[Tuthmes]

Kyut is past his sell by date

Kyut is the best player Liverpool has.

BBC live update is so shit, 5 mins behind and possesion numbers are totally made up.

 

[Keitanz]

Why have so many games kicked off early today?

 

[cHodAX]

BBC cunts have this picture up, keeps making me think Newcastle have scored! CUNTAS!

Bank holiday weekend I would imagine, alot of people out on all day benders so we have football from 1:30pm till 6pm I am guessing, audience numbers will be high.

 

[CorNokZ]

Really hope Newcastle takes points today

 

[Hawkwind]

Villa you beauties! Galas with a great goal, you couldn't write this stuff.

 

[Billargh]
