Football The 2013 / 2014 Season Thread

[DaGaffer]

I'd rather the scousers won it to, they've gone about it the right way, they won't though, shitty will win it.

What the fuck is wrong with you? Liverpool are the last team I want to see win anything, ever. I'd far prefer Chelsea, then Arsenal, then City. Then the entire Liverpool team to catch the ebola virus.

 

[Shagrat]

Got to agree with DaGaffer. I'd sooner any of Arsenal City or Chelsea won it, just so I wouldn't have to listen to fucking smug Liverpool fans going on about it for another 30 years.

 

[Scouse]

Plus with Squirtle seemingly unable to not hug anyone near him in the Penalty area I see Carroll getting a penalty off him.

Not an issue since it hit the papers in the Autumn. He's taken the criticism on board and nowadays tends to be better than most defenders in the PL for that...

Obviously my priorities are different (ANYONE but Arsenal kthx) but Liverpool have done it the "right" way and they are playing some pretty delicious football right now. It's now Liverpool > City > Chelsea > Arsenal for me. Yes the 'pool fans are going to be intolerable afterwards but it won't last, I don't think.

 

[Scouse]

Got to agree with dirty scum manc fan DaGaffer.

You don't have to...

There's nothing like a manc fan to make you remember why it'll be so much fun if we do win the league. There'd literally be a shitload of crying, dispairing southerners - and a smattering of the same around Salford, eh?

 

[soze]

It is not just Manc fans. Spurs and Liverpool fans are equally tied for the loudest bragging on my Facebook. If Liverpool won the league it would be a year of hell

But I hate seeing Chelsea and City buying it again so if we can't do it then go ahead Liverpool.

 

[DaGaffer]

Its lasted for 30-odd years, why would it be any different now?

I grew up in the 70s and half my family are from Liverpool. Scousers were insufferable then. Then they became pitiful. Then they became self-pitying. Now they're all three. Worst football club in the universe.

 

[Raven]

I bet they didn't lose as many fans as UTD have when times were hard.

 

[DaGaffer]

If Liverpool win the league, watch them gain loads of "fans" and lose "fans" at the same rate as United the first time they don't. Your analysis is irrelevant. If you see United start to lose significant numbers of season ticket sales, then you might have a point.

 

[Billargh]

I just want the most entertaining side to win, currently that is Liverpool, and they've done it without simply spunking £100m away. The Brendan Rodgers project is working.

Lucky enough for me, we don't have as many glory supporters up here, I only know one Arsenal fan, one Man United and one Liverpool fan. They're all alreet.

 

[Moriath]

Think Gary Neville got it right "picking between Liverpool or city to win the title is like picking between two blokes to nick your wife"

 

[Raven]

So Chelsea then?

 

[caLLous]

Its lasted for 30-odd years, why would it be any different now?

They'll only win it once (if they do, which I still think is unlikely). To be fair they were dominant back then but that won't be the case this time.

You will bounce back and we will improve (we can't get much worse). The next few seasons are going to be even closer at the top, between more teams.

 

[Embattle]

You know Liverpool like many other clubs have actually spent money, also as I've said I still think this year City are favourites and Liverpool won't have the advantages next year they've had this year.

 

[caLLous]

Yes they've spent money but they haven't been bought as a play-thing by some bored foreign billionaire.

 

[Embattle]

Considering the time he has been owner I wouldn't exactly considered Chelsea to be a play thing for Roman.

 

[caLLous]

Ok well in your case he was a bored foreign billionaire criminal looking for overseas investments to get his money out of Russia.

 

[Scouse]

Ex Liverpool MD Christian Purslow reckons even if we win the league we still won't spend any money...
...because our owners are paupers.

This is on the back of a leaked email a while back with him saying that they were "scraping the bottom of the barrel" with the new owners.

 

[caLLous]

Oh well, good luck with squad rotation in the CL then.

 

[Shagrat]

Anyway, more to the point, how many are Bayern going to put past Man Utd tonight?

I'm going for 5-0

 

[caLLous]

I'm going to be a bit more conservative and say 0-3, then complete annihilation for the away leg.

Phil Jones as a right back should be interesting.

 

[Cerb]

4-1 to Bayern

 

[Ch3tan]

Think Gary Neville got it right "picking between Liverpool or city to win the title is like picking between two blokes to nick your wife"

So John terry or Ryan giggs?

 

[Scouse]

So John terry or Ryan giggs?

Still see that "Gigs, who you seeing this year" thread and think of Ryan every time.

 

[Ch3tan]

Sod of ref!

 

[Ch3tan]

Awful refereeing!

 

[Embattle]

Hope MU win but that was a fairly high foot, is it me or does Marouane Fellaini look some what lost all the time?

 

[Olgaline]

Seems things are far worse than we had thought at Man.U
Apparently they can only afford ½ a pitch, how does it work ? each team gets a half to try and score ?

 

[Moriath]

Welbeck how did he miss that. One on one grrrr

 

[Embattle]

Welbeck how did he miss that. One on one grrrr

It is likely to be one to regret.
