Tackles, balls and Seaman - The footie thread

[Danny Top Hat]

You'd better bloody beat Utd.

[Gnrfan]

I'll tell you what i think the Gunner in the Black yesterday did Arsenal a favour.

I think Bergkamp fouled Unsworth for Vieras goal.

And Ljungberg was on the floor in front of the Goalkeeper how is he Not interfering with play.

And who saw Van Nistelrooys Smash and Grab against fulham that will teach the French to be pussies.

Big couple of Weeks for Man Utd Now (check this out):

Real Madrid
Liverpool
Newcastle
Real Madrid
Arsenal

It don't get much Harder than that.. Does it? Even DTH the loyal to the end Arsenal fan must surley say that the title is Arsenals coz of those 5 matches right there?

[Danny Top Hat]

Nope.  You're in form, and when Utd are in form they can do anything.

Us, on the other hand, look nervous and worried.  Utd's title.

No way did Bergkamp foul Unsworth, that's just looking for excuses.  They both wrestled for the ball, it happens, it's a contact sport.  There was no pulling back.

On Ljungberg being offside...nah.  I see the case, but it's not like there was anything he could do to get out of the way, and he wasn't doing much damage on the floor.

Half of why United can acheive anything is their name, and what they have acheived in the past.

Playing "Machester United" would strike fear into any opponent, even if they fielded a reserve side...

They have performed so well in the last decade, they kind of deserve it.

"Good news everyone": well, for me. I got confirmation of my Manchester United tickets today at White Hart Lane towards the end of April. So, if (when ) we win, and cost United the title, and Arsenal win it, I will not be impressed  
However, a win against united is still a win against united  [ok]

Wait, what am I talking about...? A win against United? Yeah, and Arsenal might actually win the Champions league some time in the next five years ( )

But anyways, I've never seen United play before, so it should be pretty cool.

Bolton tonight, and Robbie Keane is back  
I hope he scores...
I hope we win...
I hope we don't lose...

[Danny Top Hat]

In Arsene we trust!

Great performance, great win, well deserved.

No way was that a red card for Cygan, Hasselbank dived like a motherfucker.  Two Chelsea players should have gone, but got away with it.  Zola dived, but then everyone loves him so no-one'll talk about that.

Viera, Solly and Parlour were all incredible, they won us the game!

Wooo!

Hmm, how did I know we would soon get a post from you  

Cocky bastard.

 

The match was okay, the first leg was better though.

Arsenal deserved to win.

[GNRR2003]

it has become apparent that we are going to win the league, of that i am sure  

well maybe not, there is sure to be unrest in the camp with that racist little cunt. fuck shepard sticking up for him he hasnt seen him on the quyside on a friday saturday night, i think many of the north east public know what he is like and shouldnt be suprised by this latest event, his problem is he cant deal with attention from the public yet insists on drinking in public every week, what can i say he's a welshman.

[Danny Top Hat]

On the subject of players being cunts:  What the fuck was Jeffers doing getting into a scruff with Petit?  Manu did loads for the club and gave his all every time he played (and he wasn't a smelly cheat like Jeffers).

Gonna say it again:  Viera and Campbell were fantastic.  The two most injured players on the pitch were the two men of the match.  Now hopefully they'll both get a bit of a rest, while they're too "injured" to play internationals. [ok]

Main concern from now on:  Last time England played a couple of games next to each other, Arsenal lost to Everton and started our worst run since Arsene took over.  Hopefully that won't happen again. [nervous]

Meh, it'll definately go down to the Utd game.

In Arsene I trust!

[Jim]

A name for you all to look out for, possibly next season:

Jamie Slabber

 [ok]

okay, so he's no Wayne Rooney, and he probably won't be "the next Pele", but, the kids got skills.  

[GNRR2003]

tore flo has commited his future to sunderland, i think someone forgot to tell him no-one wants him anyway, the goals just keep coming, or maybe he realises this!


miz how are you coping? just like all the other mackems i suppose you were expecting this from 4 months ago anyway  

[Miz]

Yfah, Flo says that, because we will try to sell him, cos we are in debt, but no-one will buy him, cos he's shit.

I knew we were going down the moment Howard Fuckface was given the job...

And are there any Leeds fans on here? If there are....shame!

Hmmm...maybe I'll take up rugby...

 [hihi] Leeds suck.

And to think, they were title contenders last year  [no]
and look now.

What happened, seriously?

And the same with Everton?

They were battling relegation last year...
and look now.

What happened, seriously?

And Sunderland, they were battling relegation last year...
and look now.

What hap....oh, wait they still are  

Although, granted there is a difference with this campaign...they're not going to be succesful  

Nah, in all seriousness, woo, go Sunderland!

I'm not joking when I say I am hoping that they pull off an absoloute miracle and survive.

Same with West Ham.

[Miz]

Same with West Ham.

But I bet you'd laugh if either of them did.

[Jim]

But I bet you'd laugh if either of them did.

Heh, I laugh at the thought of them surviving  

[GNRR2003]

west ham WILL survive, im sure


everton?

newcastle were apparently battling for suvival for a few seasons, look at us now! ahhhh, sunderland, who?

[Gnrfan]

Just like to say i agree with Osgood.... Someone should do the game a favour and Cripple that Cheating Cunt JEFFERS.

Why Was Beattie Left Out The Squad? What more does he have to do?

We have Heskey , Vassell and Jeffers in there and Sheringham and Beattie are better than all three of them.

Rooney should partner owen this saturday..... Roonaldo.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

What does everyone think about Beckham maybe going to Real Madrid for 50 million?

Personally i don't think he is worth that. I think if Man Utd win the league or the Champions League he Will go. And it can't hurt to play with those great players, Check this out:

Raul - Surley Valued at 45 - 50 million
Ronaldo - Signed for 25 Million
Figo - 35 Million
Zidane - 45 Million
Morientis - 15 Million+
Beckham - 40 - 50 Million

Thats over 200 million for a forward line and midfield  

[Danny Top Hat]

Beattie not playing is just stupid.  He's scored more than any other striker in the Premiership, including Henry and Van Nistelroy, let alone the English strikers!

I think Roon should start against Lichstenstein, but not Turkey.  Lichten--whatever they're called, will have a very weak defence that'll be easy to run against.  Perfect for Roon.

Though, can I just say, I do not like Roon.  Clearly a great prospect, but an arrogant sonofabitch.

Goes without saying that i'd love to see Beckham go to Real.  Sick of seeing his face over here anyway.

Agreed about Roon... although with some people is not arrogance its self belief. Lichenstien would be perfect and i'd bet he'd get a goal if he started.

If Beckham went aborad he would be in the papers more... All posh would do is shop in Madrid and he'd become even more of a great story playing with players like Ronaldo and Zidane.

Beattie should be in the first team for the Turkey match IMO but not to have him in the squad is the worst mistake Eriksson has made so far as England boss aside from Ulrika obviously [love]

[Jim]

One of the reasons that I wouldn't liek to see Beckham go to Re-al is that I am quite proud that almost all of our recent internationals have remained in and played in this country....our national squad isn't dotted all over the world, they meet each other in competition all the time...they're more familiar with each other.

Obviously not including Owen and Steve....but I think Steve is shit anyway, and hasn't really played reguraly.

And, yeah, Teddy is better than all the ones you listed  

[Danny Top Hat]

our national squad isn't dotted all over the world, they meet each other in competition all the time...they're more familiar with each other.

Yeah, and that's been much more successful than what France and Brazil have done.

I guess if Becks came back into the England squad with a big tan, wearing some Kalvin Clein boxers that Ronaldo gave him for good luck, it would kinda separate him from the rest of the team, which isn't handy for a captain.  But then, he's already a big annoying poser, so not much would change.

Beattie would definately be in my first team England squad.  In fact, fucket, he'd be in there way ahead of Owen.  We need someone who can score goals (and lots of them) so you woulda thought playing the Premiership's top scorer would be a good plan.  I reakon Sven would've picked him had he played for an Utd/Arsenal/Newcastle team.
