Football The 2012 / 2013 Season Thread

He's 19 ffs, either Fergie will be kicking himself for not giving him what he wanted, or he's got a poisonous agent.

Just reading about Michael Johnson I feel bad for the kid the injuries really have not been kind to him and it looks like they took their toll mentally. It is a shame and I hope he gets left alone to live his life like he wants.

Reminds me a lot of Diaby and you can see why they keep going on about his mental toughness to keep coming back.

 

[Aoami]

Liverpool looked decent

 

[Billargh]

We're down this season.

 

[Aoami]

Adkins to Noocasselman?

 

[Billargh]

As much as I don't want to see Pardew sacked, I'd take Adkins with open arms. The all too familiar thing of Pardew having a surprisingly above average first 6-12 months, before dropping to dross seems to be happening again.

Didn't he sign a massive contract extension recently?

edit- Just checked and he signed an 8 year extension last September.

Hah yes, him and the majority of his staff! We've won 3 out of 18 since he signed that deal. I heard there's a clause in his contract though, if he does get the sack his pay off is only a years worth instead of 8.

[DaGaffer]

Its going to be a lot closer than that between United and City. I expect United to drop points today for example.

The cull beings: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21109285

Maybe not a team players, but he's certainly got them the goals. I suppose Remy is a younger Cisse though.

 

[Ch3tan]

LOL Rafa: BREAKING TEAM NEWS- Chelsea v Arsenal (1330 GMT)
Fernando Torres and Frank Lampard start for Chelsea, with Demba Ba and John Terry on the bench. There's no David Luiz in the squad.

 

[Vladamir]

Oh Rafa.

 

[Ch3tan]

Surely the Luiz omission must be due to injury?

The Torres thing makes no sense, if you want to play him fine, but play two strikers and start Ba too.

Arsenal to win by lol goals.

 

[Raven]

Fucks sake, Rafa is single handedly screwing my FF team.

 

[Vladamir]

No mention of his injury of late on his twitter feed or anywhere else, Rafa has probably gone full retard. We're playing at home anyway so we're fucked.

 

[megadave]

Oh my god he's starting torres

 

[Ch3tan]

BBC Sport are officially on form today:

HAIR UPDATE
Fernando Torres has gone military. It's a buzz-cut alright. I can see Spanish scalp. It's taken years off him.

 

[Raven]

He will be even worse then. Shorter hair, worse football.

 

[Embattle]

Is it possible

With our bad home form recently we should lose, but being a London derby who knows.

 

[eksdee]

Juan

 

[eksdee]

Watching Hazard sometimes gives me a full on chubby

 

[Raven]

Lol Torres.

 

[eksdee]

How was that not a red rofl.

 

[Deebs]

Beautiful!

 

[soze]

I am working so can't watch it (lucky me?)

My mate has sent the following so far.

Chavs should of had a penalty.
Ramieres tries to break Coq's leg no foul given he is a cunt. Chavs break and score.
Ramieres "won" a penalty he is a cunt.
Fat Frank scores he is also a cunt.

It's not quite the BBC but I am following well.

 

[Aoami]

Ramires should be off. Yellow for the foul on le coq sportiff and yellow for the blatant dive for the pen. Arsenal not looking good though.

 

[Raven]

Is it me or do Chelsea not only have a shit striker but also a shit striker that nobody will pass to when he is open?

 

[eksdee]

yellow for the blatant dive for the pen

LOL.

 

[soze]

Is it me or do Chelsea not only have a shit striker but also a shit striker that nobody will pass to when he is open?

They counter it by having Hazzard, Mata and Oscar though and the spoilt cunts still want Fat Frank on £100k a week First World problems!!!
