Football The 2014/2015 Season Thread

[Raven]

The defensive side of both teams was generally very good.

Yeah it was and it was also good seeing both teams going forward too, trying to pick at each others defence rather than just blasting it or long balling it. Actually preferred it to the UTD game (UTD getting raped aside) from a footballing standpoint.

I don't know why but loved watching match of the day when MU were winning 3-1 seeing them all so happy

Soo finally someone's listening to me Rooney from captain to getting dropped in one easy step.

What the fuck are you banging on about now?

What the fuck are you banging on about now?

Probably this:

One remark from Van Gaal and Rooney is out! British Press love a drama, even when its not true or at least confirmed. Just supposition and conjecture based on the post match comment.

 

[Raven]

He isn't saying Rooney is out at all, he is saying he is no good as a striker, which is probably right. Far better off playing behind the striker(s)

Which is mainly how he played under Fergie. The link man between Midfield and Striker. Not exactly a revelation this. The UK press blowing it out of proportion is nothing new either. Lessons in how to make a crisis out of nothing...

@megadave met Diego Costa today!

 

[megadave]

wow that thing is gross

 

[Bodhi]

For some reason all that springs to mind when I see that photo is "Is Costa Oscar's dad?".

 

[Vladamir]

 

[caLLous]

Costa could definitely portray himself on Spitting Image.

 

[Lethul]

Liverpool since owlface ruined Sturridge is like watching paint dry

 

[caLLous]

Well, well, well...

 

[Lethul]

I wish we could play Spurs every game in all comps

 

[Vladamir]

 

[Lethul]

Sterling should be taken off the field with 3 minutes to go

 

[Bodhi]

Never seen Bamford play before, but bloody hell he looks useful!

Oh and LOLerpool.

 

[Billargh]

Up the Boro!

 

[Scouse]

Jeesus Christ Liverpool.

 

[caLLous]

Some cracking pens here...

 

[Lethul]

Blackman and Mignolet are just trolling the outfield players now

 

[Moriath]

30 pens and three misses. God why can't england score pens like that lol

 

[Lethul]

Never in doubt really, routine stuff yet again.

 

[Scouse]

Christ on a bike!

 

[Moriath]

Couldn't understand that Liverpool lad that scored when he was interviewed mind. Needs to spend some time down south lol

 

[Corran]

He scouser... not like anything he said would be worth listening too!

Probably said something about scoring that goal felt as good as stealing his first car!

 

[Hawkwind]

Tbh, I think both keepers should have made a better fist of that. Lucas was pleading with/screaming at Mignolet to make a save after his second one...

 

[Vladamir]

Oh shit son
