Football The 2013 / 2014 Season Thread

Toure goal was lovely in the final

 

[Hawkwind]

All 4 goals were great goals. Good game.

I've only got 5 players playing in FF next week

 

[caLLous]

I missed a few this week, I kept Downing and Smalling on my bench but Eriksen and Walker didn't play so I was a player light. I've got 6 not playing next week.

fuck I just checked, no Liverpool or arsenal means I've only got 3 playing ! Ever since I used my wildcard I've been screwed.

 

[Billargh]

Don't start a sensationalist witch hunt or anything lads (too late?):

Carver getting angry about a potential leg breaking tackle and then an incident with Craig fucking Bellamy? The media are winding me right up these last couple of days.

Cant believe Stoke are going to fight this. Adam's stamp was intentional and malicious, if the ref had seen it there would have been a straight red shown.

 

[CorNokZ]

People still get surprised when Stoke are being utter cunts?

Fun article. But we've got #Lord Bendtner now so we'll win tonight.

Please note that Kjøbenhavns boldklub(KB) is now Fc København

 

[Scouse]

Adam's stamp was intentional and malicious

How do you prove it?

If you look at it, he doesn't look at the player. It could indeed be intentional but at the same time it could be accidental.

On balance I think it was intentional too - but I couldn't say for definite.

 

[caLLous]

It was no worse than what he did to Paulinho, it just happened to a precious Arsenal player this time.

History proves his nature, his a complete c*nt

Not sure if it is on offer still but the new FM was/is on steam cheap. I am actually quite pleased with it. Obviously not a massive change on the last one and I haven't managed a full season yet but the interface is much slicker, transfer deals getting wrapped up nice and fast. Will play a couple of seasons to see if the AI is as dumb as previous iterations, so far it seems to have improved on the last one.

That is the thing looking at the way he moves I think he meant it the way he put his foot down did not look natural and he did not jump up like "ohh shit what's that" but unless he admits to it you will never know.

Back to £35 on steam. £12 on GMG though.

I bought it a couple of months back, but must admit I'm not sold on it. Only managed a few hours so far, mind you.

 

[caLLous]

Adam banned for 3 matches. Pisses me off that nothing was done about the Paulinho one which was equally as bad, if not worse (because he actually fucking injured him).

 

[Olgaline]

5-1 to England I recon.

 

[Raven]

It will be a boring game that will teach us nothing. Same old list of names that get picked regardless of form for the most part.

 

[eksdee]

James Milner for his 'excellent work ethic'. HeHeEHeHeeheHeheheHeehe. Fuck the national team, complete and utter pile of dogwank that just gets in the way of proper football.

Don't get me wrong, I love watching international football, just not when England have any part of it. A shower of cunts run by an even bigger shower of cunts.

Cunts.

 

[Raven]

We will probably play 442 hoofball tonight too.

I am seriously considering supporting my other national team of Germany, simply because the England set-up is just a joke. It isn't the players fault that the FA and English management are utter spastics. At least Germany understand football post 1966 and actually have a clue what they are doing.

 

[caLLous]

All I'm thinking when international friendlies roll around is "please bring back my players in one piece". I hope Eriksen doesn't play, Olsen sounds like he's being decent about it.

 

[ileks]

I'd love to see something like:

Hart
Walker, Cahill, Jagielka, Gibbs
Wilshere, Gerrard, Rooney
Townsend, Sturridge, Sterling

Won't happen though. We'll play players that don't have a chance starting at the WC anyway.

 

[ileks]

Just seen that Gibbs isn't even in the 30 man squad. Is he injured? I'd rate him as our best left back at the moment, although I haven't seen that much of Shaw to be fair.

 

[soze]

Not injured just 4th in the pecking order, Baines > Cole > Shaw > Gibbs > Bertrund. Gibbs is great but too injury prone imo.

I thought he was shit last year and the year before but he's really improved this season.

 

[Raven]

Suddenly, Wilshire made of glass horror.

 

[CorNokZ]

Good start for Denmark imo

 

[Ch3tan]

Wilshere is pure hype. Play llalana.

 

[Ch3tan]

Also gibbs is deservedly behind Baines and Shaw. Not sure about Cole, as he's not played enough to really deserve a spot.
