Football The 2012 / 2013 Season Thread

[megadave]

I agree that those two times with his first touch were poor, but I thought his link up play and the runs he was making were really good. He's been really involved in everything, whereas early in the season he went missing a lot. Don't forget how young he is!

Yeah I'm expecting a lot more in his second season.Also hoping our next manager gives him a go a bit deeper in central midfield, I don't think being a winger suits him.

 

[megadave]

I'm predicting Man Utd to not show up against either us or Arsenal, looks like we've drawn the short straw

 

[eksdee]

Given that Frank is off I think they see that as the long term position for him. He can't really compete with Mata/Hazard for the CAM/CF spot so it makes sense, he's also a lot more disciplined with his tracking back than them so makes sense. Honestly think he has the potential to be one of the best players we've ever had. Just oozes talent and class.

 

[eksdee]

Knowing Utd they'll lose to Arsenal today and then beat us at OT. GG NO RE.

 

[eksdee]

Oh dear Dave, could easily have been off for that one.

 

[eksdee]

Rofl: "he kicks who he wants, he kicks who he waaaaaaants, Eden Hazard, he kicks who he wants". ;D

 

[Billargh]

Eight year contract lololololololololol

It won't last.

 

[Bahumat]

Arsenal suck at dealing with crosses

 

[eksdee]

Haha. RvP scoring against Arsenal. #TearsForPiers.

 

[ileks]

Sagna got away with one there. I was certain the ref was going to book him when play stopped.

 

[Sydrik]

Joey Barton is probably the biggest twat in the history of mankind. How the fuck can he sit on twitter and criticise players for letting a team down after some of the shit he has pulled. Biggest hypocrite ever.

 

[Shagrat]

Whats the doofus said this time?

 

[Raven]

Probably had a pop at QPR players.

Edit. Yup

Leaked PFA team of the year: De Gea. Zabaleta, Ferdinand, Vertonghen, Baines. Hazard, Carrick, Mata, Bale. Van Persie, Suarez.

Matahazard <3

 

[eksdee]

Hazmat.

 

[Raven]

Ferdinand?!?

 

[Lethul]

Ferdinand?!?

 

[eksdee]

I know right.

 

[Aada]

Tony Fernandes face at the end of the match was a picture, he was literally thinking ''wtf have i got myself into''

Gonna be interesting to see who will stay am betting a lot of them have clauses for relegation, but maybe for the best considering a lot of the sqaud don't like each other anyway, but next season is going to be a massive culture shock for the players that have never played Championship football.

 

[eksdee]

Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of people eh. ;D

 

[Embattle]

Saying on MOTD Bale has got player of the year.

 

[georgie]

Gareth Bale wins PFA Player of the Year and PFA Young Player of the Year awards

 

[Ch3tan]

He's won both awards. Oh well, voted for by his peers. Rvp, Mata or saurez for me though.

 

[Raven]

I think it's a bit daft that he can win both. It should be under 21s only for young player of the year. Fair enough he won though, he is certainly one of the best this season, though I would say RVP.

 

[Everz]

Pathetic if supporters actually assaulted players everz.

No, for £25,000 a week to verbally abuse the fans at every turn, he deserves to kicking in.

 

[Aada]

Bale all the way.

 

[Hawkwind]

Damn I wish Arsenal would play every game with that much chasing. First half was great to watch them get stuck. Carrick/Rooney with no time on the ball and Man Utd looked out of sorts. Just a pity we can't cross the ball in or have strikers with conviction enough to push in and go for them.
