Football The 2011/2012 Season Thread

Few cup upsets in the making tonight, QPR getting beat, Norwich getting humped and we're making hard work of Brighton, though thankfully we now have 3 strikers on the pitch.

LOL! Spoke too soon mate

 

[Aph3x]

Haha listening to it we sound pretty dire, not threatening enough going forwards, Wickham, Ji and I think Gyan about to come on and we dont offer enough going forwards, could be a long season ahead for us.

 

[Aph3x]

Yay, Sunderland start a game with no strikers on the pitch and end it with 3! I really dont know why I get so wound up for the start of the season, always end up getting let down

 

[Everz]

Happy with that, we had 4 lads make there debut tonight also, apparently Jamie Reckford was impressive as was Doherty. Shows of our depth tonight tbh with a totally new 11.

Norwich though .

BBC Sport - QPR manager Neil Warnock pleased with Carling Cup exit

So bitter from Doubtfire.

England. 4th best international team in the world....lol

BBC Sport - Netherlands overtake Spain to top Fifa world rankings

 

[TheDoon]

Those rankings are such a farce.

Friendlies shouldn't even count towards them tbh.

 

[Calo]

Friendlies shouldn't even count towards them tbh.

aye, spain are euro and world champion yet loose 1 friendly and suddenly they are number 2? ooookeee

oh and if they win against lichtenstein next month they will be back number 1

 

[Corran]

hahhahahaahah , as if England are number 4. We better play a load of shite friendlies and can claim to be the best! even without winning a competition.

Only thing dutch do better then spain is kick people about in the finals

Nasri completes move to Manchester City | News Archive | News | Arsenal.com

So he is gone now, fingers crossed for a very busy Thursday. Rumours are we have a few deals which depend on us making the CL Group stages.

 

[eksdee]

Joey Barton in talks with QPR according to the Guardian. Exactly the kind of player they need in a footballing sense. I should imagine he and Taraabt would be an... interesting duo in both a footballing and personality sense.

Well least that is finally over now. Be funny though if arsenal dont make the group stage this season. Doubt it happen and dont really want to see it, but be funny what the outcome of it was.

im just hoping we'll have 11 players left by mid season.

 

[Everz]

Samir Nasri has completed his move from Arsenal to Manchester City for a reported £25m - and said he was delighted to be joining a club with "more passionate" fans.

Lol, got to love the honesty tbh.

 

[Lethul]

myp2p down, anyone know another place with good streams?

So Nasri deal was done, Mata deal was sealed, and QPR have reduced ticket prices and are reviewing the changes made to the season tickets by the previous board, whilst also trying to sign Barton. Busy day! And not over yet, with Arse potentially making English clubs look weak in Europe. Oh well, stoke will show us how it's done instead

edit// How has Di Natale not scored yet!!?

 

[Ch3tan]

Commentator "what a save from walcott!!"

Me: meh, he shot straight at the keeper. waste.

 

[Ch3tan]

Di Natale is bossing it!

Also fuck ITV HD, this is so not HD

 

[Vladamir]

Knife edge!

 

[soze]

Frimpong off instead of Song? I though Song was a bit pap first half.

 

[Ch3tan]

I've mentioned that on facebook soze.... along the lines of "Wenger's lost the plot"

 

[Corran]

well they got the away goal so he gonna say "I made perfect substitution"

 

[Aph3x]

RvP 1-1!!!

Was half way through writing about Gervinho doing his usual wander to the by-line before producing a soft cross which goes straight to the keeper and he connects. Game on!

 

[Ch3tan]

If Rvp get's injured Arsenal are finished this season, maybe for a good few years. He's the only thing they still have.

 

[soze]

I still maintain Gervinho when he settles will be a top buy. But Song already booked playing a bit crap i wonder what the live odds are on him going off

 

[Ch3tan]

Gervinho is looking good soze... but so did chamack at the start of last season....

PENALTY TO UDINESE!!!!

 

[Vladamir]

What a save

 

[Aph3x]

What a save by the un-spellable keeper!

 

[Ch3tan]

I call him "any polish guy", because he looks like any polish guy.
