Football The 2013 / 2014 Season Thread

[caLLous]

Jason Puncheon has said some pretty inflammatory things about Neil Warnock, it'll be interesting to see how this plays out...

I'd hope he has some sort of proof otherwise he might well find himself on the end of a lawsuit (he probably would anyway).

Isn't moving out of the way of the ball interfering with the ball? The FIFA rule refers to "playing" the ball and not touching it. Hart was clearly concerned about his presence so close to the goal, can see why it was disallowed. Would have been very annoyed if it had been a Villa goal ruled out for that mind you.

Villa, Goal...what is this madness that you speak of?!

Be interesting to see how it all pans out. Could be yet another famous footballer/celeb that doesn't understand how the internet works though.

Team of the year leaked:

 

[Raven]

I see the UTD defence went to watch the practice run.

I think that unless Warnock sues then he's probably guilty as charged

 

[Aoami]

Ramos at CB in a team of the year. Never thought i'd see that day. It was only a few years ago that he didn't know what a tackle was.

 

[eksdee]

He still doesn't! The TOTY is an abject joke. How Iniesta and Xavi are in there when Schweinsteiger isn't is just.. it blows my mind.

 

[Billargh]

This makes me sad, I'll miss Spider-man

 

[Ch3tan]

Looks like de bruyne is off to make way for matic. Crazy chelski midfield madness continues.

 

[Aoami]

The real TOTY

Ronaldo wins Ballon D'or. Well deserved.

 

[caLLous]

And not in the least bit surprising.

 

[Billargh]

Should it be though?

 

[eksdee]

Oh no wait, reports just in... it's actually Micky Hazard.

Villa sounding as good as ever.

 

[CorNokZ]

So Bendtner won the Balon D'Or again this year, but that really isn't a surprise to anyone, is it?





All hail Lord Bendtner!!

 

[Vladamir]

He realised his potential at Benfica, hope we land him.

Mikel m8

 

[Raven]

Wilshire, take your headphones off when being interviewed you ignorant cunt.

 

[Turamber]

Villa sounding as good as ever.

Too many poor/deeply average players, a manager who seems to have lost the plot and an owner who is happy to be the fourth worst team every season is not a good combination. Was good to hear the crowd getting behind the players at the end of the game. Villa Park isn't really a hard place for our players to perform, the fans just need something to cheer. 90 minutes of kicking the ball away doesn't make for a very good spectacle.

 

[Raven]

Still one of the top spenders in recent years (somehow!)

I thought there were a few positives from Villa and although Arsenal had most of the decent chances and could have scored several more, the 2nd goal was unlucky for Villa.

 

[Embattle]

You wouldn't mind the idea of it being a project but they've actually got a lot worse from last year and could well end up on the championship.

Thought Villa played much better second half, actually tried to attack. They fully deserved to be 2-0 down at half time though. over 70% possession for arsenal in the first. As the ol' saying goes - you can't score without the ball.

If they had played the entire game the way they finished it they might have had a chance.

 

[caLLous]

Apparently it's the first time in Premier League history that all of the top 7 clubs have won their matches. I guess it helps that none of them were playing each other.

That is one hideous fucking suit.

That is one hideous fucking suit.

Almost as bad as last years.
