Football The 2011/2012 Season Thread

Not watching the game, what's wrong with Lampard ?

He's not the player he was and it shows. For an intelligent player, it's annoying that he hasn't attempted to change his game when his body clearly can't do it any more. I think he needs to buy Giggs' yoga DVD

 

[Corran]

haha, giving yossi just a couple minutes (well maybe 7minutes). SUre it enouhg time but should have made it earlier

 

[megadave]

theree's been about 3 minutes of football in the last 10

 

[Turamber]

Chelsea are much too narrow. Enjoyed the first half ... not every match has to be about silky skills, beating 10 men and scoring from 30 yards. Was an entertaining football match. Has got a bit more tedious second half as the teams realise that they could get a point out of the game.

 

[Corran]

will guess it be about 5minutes they add as things stand

damn I am good. lol. If this was utd Im sure they be saying it is Fergi time

 

[Corran]

This is where they smash in this freekick

 

[eksdee]

This is Didier time.

 

[megadave]

shoulda let alex have a go

1514: BREAKING TEAM NEWS
Patrice Evra, Dimitar Berbatov, Ryan Giggs and Ji-Sung Park all miss out for Manchester United at West Brom this afternoon - but Tom Cleverley, Chris Smalling and Danny Welbeck start.

Cleverley \o/

 

[eksdee]

Nevermind.

In the grand scheme of things, a point away to Stoke isn't the worst result in the world. There's a lot more football to be played this season.

 

[megadave]

injury time has been nothing but free kicks, this is over

 

[Corran]

so far, 3 of the "top 4" have got just the draw. Lets hope Utd dont follow suit or do worse.
Well done Begovic \o/

 

[megadave]

how i pity stoke fans

 

[Ch3tan]

Thank fuck that is over, tough first game really, Stoke were never going to let you play.

 

[Turamber]

how i pity stoke fans

Why? They don't have the delusions of your Liverpool and Newcastle fans - they know their team can't win the league, they are just happy to see them compete and trade blows with the big boys.

 

[megadave]

because they don't really get to watch any football except when another team thrashes them

 

[Ch3tan]

I'd disagree with that, they never see football when a top 4 team comes. They play a different style against most others though.

They outplayed Arsenal last year and scored a brilliant goal against Chelsea! Chelsea hardly played football today either the team is past it. Good to see torres back and woodgate playing well

Yossi needs to be on earlier.

Edit Pullis has done a great job, the club work within a budget and are improving their squad every year.

 

[Ormorof]

or when they play in FA cup semis and win 5-0... or when they beat arsenal 3-1...

 

[Corran]

Stoke fans are gonna be just fine. They know they wont get silky football but they are loyal to their team and back their players fully.... play to their strengths and know they cant get the skillful setup the bigboys can. But they do get some nice matches when they all switched on

You should have seen the utter joke of a match they treated us to at the Emirates last season. Genuinely one of the worst matches of football I've ever seen, and it's not like we didn't even win!

 

[Corran]

lmfao.; Gary neville "anywhere else on the pitch the ref gives a penalty there"

erm!!!! wtf?

 

[Corran]

Seeing the replays... lampard if stayed on his feet it was apure penalty but he started to go before the contact

 

[Zenith]

When's UTD playing and against who?

 

[Zenith]

man utd even!

 

[Calaen]

Pff I said that ages ago

 

[Ch3tan]

Zenith; we are playing in 20 minutes against West Brom, away.

 

[Zenith]

cheers! looking forward to seeing the young crew in action

 

[Corran]

Honestly cant wait to see this match this afternoon. Such an energetic team lineup it could be a showpiece if they bring the quality as well

 

[Ch3tan]

Yep, and unlike chelski, we are playing against a good passing team who will attack too.
