Football The 2013 / 2014 Season Thread

Time wasting?

Yes, thank you Captain Obvious. It's just that it was so utterly shameless - at least make an effort to get back onto the pitch before you signal to the bench that you need to come off.

I was asking a question I have no idea what he did.

 

[caLLous]

Ok, in that case you're forgiven. He ran off, got all the way to the advertising boards, signalled to the bench that he needed to come off then walked about a metre back inside the line (I think, from what I saw - if I'm wrong I'll take it all back) and sat down and expected the ball to get put out.

I hate enjoying watching Arsenal play. Liverpool were poor today but you did play some sexy football (although Ozil wasn't exactly prolific and Giroud was a bit shit).

 

[soze]

I hate time wasting so if he did that he will get no defense from me.

Giroud is doing well enough for what he cost but the rumour of Benzema already being tied up for January is very interesting.

 

[Olgaline]

rumour of Benzema

Are likely highly overrated

Are likely highly overrated

Plenty said the same about Ozil

 

[caLLous]

Unfortunately, Arsenal are a different beast to the team that lost 3-1 to Villa. They're a much more attractive proposition to that class of player than they were (even though I still don't think they're going to win the league). I'll be super fucked off if RM sell another world-class player to the gooners though, some fucking relationship we have with them. I know it's only some marketing thing, but still...

 

[Olgaline]

Ozil was a lucky punch who was never supposed to actually leave RM, I'm glad he did, but he wasnt supposed to

You go to Brisbane Road much? Our next away day is likely to Orient, reckon it'd be a sell out?

This is the first season I've not had a season ticket, I work too many weekends now

Not sure about it being a sell out but I'd hope so. We gave a away a load of free season tickets this year. A lot of them were taken up by West Ham cunts that barely turn up so there might be a few empty seats.

 

[soze]

AVB you are a massive cunt. Eriksen as FF captain and he gives him fucking 4 minutes. Aguero is my vice captain I miss all those points for a fucking 4 minute run out!

 

[caLLous]

Why in the world would you make Eriksen (or any Spurs player for that matter) your captain?

 

[soze]

It is silly but since he has been my captain (which was the week after he had that great game) he has been utter horse shit. So he stays

 

[rynnor]

We really really have a goal drought when it comes to open play - its weird to watch a Spurs side who are generally good defensively but rarely score.

 

[Aoami]

Really loving how average spurs still are

 

[Olgaline]

why AvB dosnt start with Eriksen is beyond me. He is still easily the best player for that pos.

 

[soze]

Welsh derby had some embarrassing play acting and Campbell taking a dive (making the most of the contact) rather than trying to score was a shame

 

[Billargh]

Most boring derby I've ever seen, even worse than some of the ridiculous 'London derbies' that clubs play 20 games a season in.

 

[Billargh]

It's all kicking off after the match.

 

[Lethul]

I want to whine about yesterdays game but Arsenal where better all over the pitch so won't bother

 

[rynnor]

Really loving how average spurs still are

The whole premiership are with the recent exception of Arsenal (but I expect them to self destruct by christmas in their usual ways) - it's a pretty duff season.

 

[Scouse]

We were poooooooooooooooooooooo yesterday.

Beginning to really feel the lack of the decent summer offensive signing we were crying out for.

 

[DaGaffer]

TBH if it wasn't for Arsenal pulling out a five point lead already, it would be a very intriguing season; between 2nd and 8th there's only 3 points in it. Been a long time since it was that close at the top. Now, that may be because the usual suspects are a bit iffy, but it would be interesting if things stayed that tight; probably won't though. If I was a betting man, I reckon it will be Arsenal and City duking it out by season's end.

 

[Aoami]

last side to lose to aston villa 3-1 on opening day? manchester 'you wont win anything with kids' united, in the 95/96 season

 

[CorNokZ]

Really enjoying this season in the Danish league as well, for the same reason. Much more enjoyable to watch when top and bottom is close and only a few points in between

 

[caLLous]

Yeah, well, I'm not enjoying this season as much as I hoped I would be (although I'm enjoying it about as much as I *expected* to).

 

[Raven]

Bottom of the football league with seemingly no idea what to do.

I would like to return to a previous save please. One where we still had the beast.

 

[Vladamir]

Lol Panathanaikos

 

[rynnor]

Yeah, well, I'm not enjoying this season as much as I hoped I would be (although I'm enjoying it about as much as I *expected* to).

It's the lack of exciting games with great football thats most upsetting - sky should be giving out refunds

Match fixing or Joe Hart syndrome?

 

[CorNokZ]

Off to the ground now to face Galatasaray and hopefully 3pts to keep the European Dream alive! Wish us luck!

FORZA FC KØBENHAVN!!!
