Tackles, balls and Seaman - The footie thread

[Jim]

...Well, towards the end of the match, he was involved in everything good that Arsenal did, actually.

As for the comparison to Ronaldinho, sorry...

Ronaldinho still gets it this time.

Serously, I can't get across how much I fucking love the guy! He's just got such a great work ethic. I mean, yeah, sometimes he just walks about...All of the greats do. But he doesn't have that scowl on his face that Henry sometimes does, and Ronaldinho's reaction to the crowd at Stamford Bridge was fantastic!

A true great.

yer, but by his standards he was poorish

still far better than most players cuold manage like

0-0 to the Arsenal!  Get in!!

We are the best team in Europe by a mile.  Way better than Barcalona and AC Milan, and that's not even an exaggeration.

You're not, but you could be if you improve your finishing. Real could had been hammered last night

And cos Jose's a legend

No. He's a wanker. He makes football look really unpleasant, he is a a disgrace to the game with his behavior, when both he and Wayne Rooney leave the game football might regain an element of decency

No. He's a legend, he tells the situation how he sees it and doesn't let the press control what he says or does unlike most of the other pussy managers nowadays who roll out cliche after soundbite

Being deliberately late, winding up the opposing manager and fans, refusing to shake hands etc etc etc

A legend? Whatever....

Next time when joking use this:

You can't tell me what to do, i'm still in the champions league.


Edited to add:  That was a damn shame, actually.  Crouch is so shite, he could have had a hat-trick before Benfica's first goal.  Where was Morientes??

ha, your not even the best team in london

[Jim]

Nor the second best anymore.

D'oh - but i doubt u'll find many Liverpool fans who are bothered - after all we won it last year, u'd have to be pretty greedy to have expected to win it again, after all one win a decade is fairly remarkable. The team has already played 50 games this season, a few less games will help in the race for 2nd, which is the real goal.

Not sure....Benitez must have had a plan

Actually i think of Axl as a rather sad figure afraid to release music or play gigs - he's frankly pathetic, and any respect i have/had for him was for his lyrics not his behaviour...

Now, I admit, we're probably not going to take fourth....

But it is a possibility.

But of all the British fucking teams to get through, it has to be the cheeky arseholes that are going to end up stealing our Champions League spot, if we do by some minor miracle manage to finish fourth, if they win it.

It means that I'm going to have to support Barcelcona now. Seriously, I would be supporting Arsenal were it not for that,

you know, the British team and all.

I have one hope for the draw tommorow; that Arsenal and Barcelona are not drawn on the same side as each other. Imagine a Barcelona vs. Arsenal Champions League final.

That's like, football heaven.

[Danny Top Hat]

I wanna face Lyon, that'd be a real challenge.

And we are the best team in Londen cause we're the only one left in the Champions League.  That's just science.

yeah, like liverpool were the beat team in europe last year but everton were the best team in liverpool 

[Jim]

Well, as they say, the best teams win cups, not titles. 



Hang on, that ain't right...

[MadmanDan]

Well, as they say, the best teams win cups, not titles.?



Hang on, that ain't right...

The best teams win trebles, not cups or titles.....


P.S. : Real trebles !!!

[Danny Top Hat]

Juventus!

I like that.  We probably won't win, but it'll be a lot of fun taking on Viera and co.  If we do get through, it's probably Inter Milan in the semis and one of the giants in the final.  So there's nothing like taking the easy route through.

But seriously, that is a really fun draw.  I'm not expecting much from it, but I think we're good enough to give Juve a good game.  Plus, if Liverpool can beat them they can't be that good.

[badapple81]

what has rooney done to upset you?

His foul mouthed rants, and unsportsman like behaviour make me question whether football is really the 'beautiful game'

The game doesn't need it

Well you can read all about it soon.. he's signed a deal to publish 5 books within 12 years.

[Shoco]

and for 7million i dont blame him
