Tackles, balls and Seaman - The footie thread

2-0...

2 fucking nil.

...

...

Nice one. [ok]

[Jim]

Nice to see United doing the business again...

Nice to see Beckham learnt something from the Arsenal game: If you can't score one of your own, settle for a deflection into your own goal. The game was a nightmare for United.

And since when did Dudek find his form  

Although, how about Jimmy's own goal against Newcastle. He had the assist for his own goal   [hihi]

Great goal

[Wernie]

[ok] [love] [yes]

YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE.

Sure, UTD had some chances, but I thaught we had good control of the game. Did anyone see Giggs out there? Wonder where he was hiding...

And Dudek...Gerrard...ahh...they both were amazing yesterday.

UEFA-Cup is next...

[allinred]

Yeah, well done Liverpool,  [ok] but do you think this'll stop those voices who shout for Houllier to resign?

[Wernie]

Yeah, well done Liverpool,  [ok] but do you think this'll stop those voices who shout for Houllier to resign?

Well, I guess that there's always going to be ppl, calling for his resignation, but hopefully they'll calm down a bit after this.

I really can't understand why ppl want some managers sacked? Sure, they are in control, but it's the players that most often should have the critisicm instead of the manager.

Houllier has stood by his players during this really bad spell and the players have done the same to him. He's without a doubt very popular amongst the players. I'd like to see him stay for many years to come.

[allinred]

Yeah there's always those types of people, a while back, some so called fans were saying Wenger should go  

Long term is probably in Liverpool interests, managers coming and going is always a bad thing, look at Leeds, they were riding high a few seasons ago, now, after messing about with various managers, the momentums been completely lost, players are being sold, they're languishing near the bottom of the table, it's quite a turn around really.

well if i was a mackem i sure as hell would want the head of one how(ard) will(we)ko to division 1!
and lets face it, if liverpool hadnt one the mickey mouse cup you would be saying this about houllier, football fans are fickle that is life. you cant keep a manager because of results he gained years ago, a team is only as good as its last result, and if the players nor the manager cannot put that right then sometimes its the right thing to do to bring someone else in.

[Wernie]

and lets face it, if liverpool hadnt one the mickey mouse cup you wouldn't be saying this about houllier.

Oh, yes I would. I've had faith in him all the time.
Sure, I've been pissed at the way things have gone recently, and really pissed 'bout the way we've been playing our games, but not once have I been thinking or saying that Houllier should be sacked or that he should resign.

[Danny Top Hat]

Ugh, cunting Alex Ferguson says we're "overconfident" and "bragging".  Where the fuck did he get that from?  And how can he claim that Man Utd were never like that?!

He's just a sad, bitter cunt.  He should just shut up and work on not kicking boots at people.

[GNRR2003]

oh bugger. bastard smoggies.

[Danny Top Hat]

Yeah okay, Jeffers dived for the penalty.  Fair justice that it was saved.

Cunting Chelsea, that was the flukiest goal...rrrr!

And now Henry's out for the Roma game.  Penis, penis, penis!

On a lighter note:  If Roberto Carlos signs for us, it'd be amazing!

[GNRR2003]

sunderland  [rofl]

its ok wilko seen the future before he left, a couple' weeks' ago he proclaimed that sunderland had already survived and indeed it was the 3 teams above them that in fact were relegated.

i'm waiting for bobby to say its ok we have won the title and man u and arsenal have not  

in other words it aint gonna happen, good bye scumderland [wave]

[Andrew]

Who will take over at sunderland, board said they have someone in before the bolton game

[Miz]

Thank God!!!!!!
Slight delayed reaction from the board etc..but better late than never.  Anyway, we're never gonna stay up, however, at least we won't have that clown managing us next season

[Jim]

And now Henry's out for the Roma game.

Typical Arsenal fan, you spoke too soon, bitch  
[same with Arsene saying you will win the league  ]

Unfortunatly I'm having to watch the smug bastard play  

I would rather be watching the Newcastle match, but my brother is an Arsenal fan though...christ, whatever he's got, I hope it's not hereditory...

ahh well, it will be worth it if they lose  

on Wilko being fired -  

I liked the guy!

I mean, how could he be fired when Sunderland have alllready avoided relegation  

[Miz]

[rofl] You, my friend, are a Cunt.  

[Danny Top Hat]

We should have won, but ITV commentators are stupid.  A win wouldn't have made a difference, we'd still need a point against Valencia.

I don't think we'll do it.  2-1 Valencia.  But I really wish Ron Atkinson would shut up.

On the game:  Pires is still not at his best, Cygan's marking was appauling throughout the whole game and Wiltord was absolutely terrible.  Bergkamp was the one pulling all the strings for us, and it was crazy taking him off.

Poor Henry must feel like he's playing with a bunch of amateurs.

[Gnrfan]

Just thought i'd say that i was very impressed with Henry last night.. he had a chance to go down and didn't.

I was also impressed with Jeffers he only dived 34 times. [rofl]

Going back to the cup match... Jeffers is a disgrace... however i thought Arsenal were awesome that night and really deserved to win.

Justice was done in the penalty after another Jeffers dive.

Henry's goal was really well taken.

I fancy Arsenal to get a draw against Valencia and go through... but i agree that Atkinson is a fucking idiot

[2NaFish]

I hate Ron Atkinson too, but i had to turn the sound down last night cos i couldnt stand to hear David Pleat speaking during the Man Utd match. He's such a fucking gimp.

[Danny Top Hat]

Great moment during an England game in the world cup:  Some bloke at the back of the pub shouted "shut up Ron you fat fuck", and everyone in the room clapped. [ok]

Henry is certainly not a diver.  I will now admit that Jeffers and Lauren both are (probably compensating for being crap, crap players).  I stand by what I said before, Arsenal are not a cheating team.

Anyway, yeah, no Champions league crisis, just ITV cunts being overdramatic.  We're on course to qualify through the toughest group of the tournement, it's not like we've been put against Basle or Juve's reserve team!

On watching Real last night, it's become very clear that we need a much stronger squad if we're gonna compete.  Arsene's brilliant when it comes to saving money, but we really need to start splashing out a tiny bit.  We need a striker to go with Henry, a top quality centre-back (or two) and Roberto Carlos.
