Football The 2011/2012 Season Thread

[soze]

Except hes a pretty promising kid and was first choice at Villa last season? ;D.

Arselol.

Well know for his goal scoring from long range yeah?

Spuds did not deserve that but ohh well.

Should i be coming on here and saying things like Wololves when you lose?

 

[Talivar]

You would be here a lot

 

[megadave]

A draw would have been a fair result but Tottenham made more than enough chances to win, for all their possession Arsenal didn't really do much.

Touchy are we?

It was a good goal dont be a bitch because Arsenal for all there possession and good play were as toothless as they get and were put to it by a more clinical Tottenham. If one should be bitching it should be me, a legitimate goal and a stonewall penalty refused.. but guess what? Thats football and it happens.

Oh and Arselol.

 

[eksdee]

Was watching it with my step-dad and he couldn't believe how shit Arsenal were. Haha. His words: "I used to enjoy watching Arsenal, now what is this guff?"

 

[Raven]

It's not Arselol, its Farcenal

Football fan in upset at losing shocker!!

I never said it was not a good goal i just tried to make a point about how yet again a spuds player scored the goal of his life in a North London Derby.

 

[soze]

Early reports look like Sagna has a Fractured Fibula you can see he fell awekward but i hope thats not the case.

How is it Sturridge hasn't made it into the England squad yet Andy Carroll has?

 

[Keitanz]

Brings more to the squad than Sturridge I guess... picking Zamora over Sturridge is more laughable though

 

[Ch3tan]

Why.... Zamora is fucking awesome, and scores goals.

Carrol is a waste in the England set up currently, Sturridge would be better.

 

[Everz]

Zamora is a beast, the goals he set up today and his own were amazing.

To think role back a few years and he was considered to be quite shit, never write a player off I guess is the lesson.

 

[eksdee]

Don't complain, less drain on his confidence, will to live and fitness.

 

[Everz]

I said it before.. we have the chance of having a really strong squad, we need to do a Germany and bring them all through.

Jones, Smalling, Cleverly, Wilshere, Sturridge, Walker.. potentially Carroll/McEachran etc all have the potential to mimic what Germany has done with the likes of Gotze, Ozil, Neuer, Marin etc etc.

Frustrating to say the least.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Sagna fucked

Not sure we've played the same back 4 in any consecutive games this season, injury wise we're screwed at the back now.

 

[Keitanz]

You are screwed all over

 

[eksdee]

Frustrating to say the least.

And yet we'll get Ferdinand, Terry, Lampard, (THE FIT AGAIN!!1111) Gerard, Defoe et al.

I've utterly given up on England, our whole approach to international football is just an absolute joke and I doubt it will change any time soon.

I remember people saying that 10 years ago, and people older than me probably remember people saying it 20 years ago etc... it's hard to have faith in england these days

 

[Keitanz]

Blame the media.

 

[CorNokZ]

Atleast you have quality and consistency getting into The Euros and WC..

Try to view thing from a small nation's perspective!

Can't say I was impressed with FCK mr CorNokz. It was probably the most boring and dull game i'd ever been to. The quality seemed so lackluster, noone willing to make runs, and the pace was very average, which I expected better tbh from FCK. I was pleased when they conceded a penalty in the last minute as they noway deserved to win after their performance.

I also have to admit i was a little scared when in the stand of falling over to my death. The stands are very steep and It seemed you were practically looking vertical. Here is a pic of the game at KO, attendance was 25k, i don't know if thats good or not, but the Parken had many many empty seats.

As Aiomi said, i sure wouldn't pay to go see them again unless they had a decent opponent, but I can't really judge from one game ;p

I'd say that perhaps Gerrard and Terry would have a part to play, you do need the experience (hence the likes of Klose still around), but yeh, no doubt old 'Arry will bring us further down by sticking with all the past it codgers.

 

[Olgaline]

Can't say I was impressed with FCK mr CorNokz.

Well, what did you expect?
It's superliga :-$

But yes that game was boooring, and should'nt be viewed as benchmark for the liga.
And yes, by superliga standarts 25k is ver decent..

BBC - David Bond: Pubs v Premier League

Lower the prices of the grounds and maybe we shall consider it. For me to go to Molineux in a decent stand is £35.. that is beyond a fucking joke.

Totally agree, however the demand to watch the EPL is what has made this rise so high imo. High demand = higher costs, and that is not only for going to the actual game. TV packages such as skysports make huge revenue for people just wanting to watch the football.

Here in Denmark, you get EPL on a TV channel (6er'n), which shows the morning, afternoon and evening games whenever they are on TV. You will have to ask Cornokz or so if that is a special sport channel but I don't think it is as we just have the basic tv package and that comes with it for free. When I lived in the Uk, i never watched football as we didnt have the luxury of sky tv, or if i did it was down the pub watching Blackburn.

To watch the best teams results in paying for them unfortunatly .. except here in DK which rox

on an unrelated matter

Wish this tosspot would leave already, he's just leeching on to how many more wage packages he can get

I point to Germany, to watch Dortmund is 10euros.. ten fucking euros. To watch Bayern a club of equal size to our 'giants' is not much more. It frustrates the life out of me how English football is run, it's far too expensive most the ground these days are empty or soulless bowls as the hard working fans don't wish to pay ridiculous prices, and the only way in which you can succeed is to be funded by some Arab billionaire.

Yea the model is great for the EPL and you get to see some players of amazing quality but wheres the fun in a boring league that is slowly dying (look at attendances, look in League Two where its a battle of who can stay alive on a shoestring). I've not really even been bothered this season with Wolves, maybe the realisation that the most we can ever hope for is mid-table has dampened my ambition, or that having to pay out of my arse to go watch them does my head in.

If it wasn't for the foreign TV in pubs I doubt i'd have even looked at a Wolves game this season, and that is sad.
