Football Bitching: The 'soccer' thread

[Bostonmess]

No you needn't. So STFU!

Why call something, where you mostly carry a ball round and throw it, why call it football?

I could understand it if you were making it simpler, for example changing colour to color (like the Yanks do and everyone whinges on about it), but you're not, you're just confusing things/me, and fucking why? It's not big, it's not clever, I know yer fatha and I know where yer live.

I put the Tv on, Australian rules football, wtf? Where's the fucking football? It's not fucking football. Some fucking dumb fucks running about like lobotomised basket ball players on acid, bouncing a deformed ball about in the middle of a huge cunting field.

The referee dresses like the cunt from the local who sell cockles, mussels and other various crustaceans, when he puts his arms up I'm thinking he's offering to apply the salt and vinegar for you.

Football, sez what it does on the tin. :swear:

[King_Crud]

bass bogan, stop being a noob. I'm from Sydney and i refer to soccer as football, as well as afl. I do not refer to League or Rugby as football but i understand that others do so let them. I don't see by your logic why soccer should not be referred to as football.

And don't say soccer shouldn't be called football, it's the fucken original football, however ghey it is.

couldnt help taking the piss

why is sven playing james again?

[Chrissy]

why is sven playing james again?

More to the point, why hasn't someone given James a copy of 'The Big Book Of How To Save Goals' not to mention telling him that he is a rather large gentleman who, properly placed in the mouth of the goal, could stop the ball going in just by staring firmly at it?

[dozer]

he is so incredibly shite it cracks me up.

sadly i must admit i have folded and become a member of a local 'football' team, so i will be attending champions league matches in the flesh.

[Chrissy]

he is so incredibly shite it cracks me up.

I don't understand why he's still England's goalie?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why is Sven doing that? Why?!

[dozer]

im guessing he is svens lovechild and this is just his way of keeping it out of the news of the world

[Chrissy]

im guessing he is svens lovechild and this is just his way of keeping it out of the news of the world

Can't see it myself. I think it's much more likely that they both had a threesome with Ulrikakakakaka and they've come to a mutual understanding that if James keeps playing, he won't spill his guts to The News Of The World...oh wai..

Did that actually happen??

[and3w]

I did actually post cloughie to front page the day he died but I also put in a bit about Johnny(?) Ramone dying the day before, which had apparently been posted the day before and which I hadn't seen.
Pirate booted it and said Mr Ramones death was old news..I didn't get round to re-doing it and as I bet over 3/4 of peeps will never have heard of cloughie I put it here instead where at least I can be sure people will have an idea who he was.
Should I hang my head in shame or brighten the world's day with a smile? :rolleyes:
Or were you taking the piss :-) :p :p

[King_Crud]

yeah it's a bit fucked that something which is not considered newsworthy in australia (cloughies death) is not put on the front page. Any sport is hard to post, especially when it's not in oz

i also saw my first championships match live this week, hopefully will get to see the gunners if i can afford the ticket price

yeah it's a bit fucked that something which is not considered newsworthy in Australia (cloughies death) is not put on the front page. Any sport is hard to post, especially when it's not in oz

No, it wasn't Pirates reply which was out of order, I hadn't noticed that the Ramones death had been posted so it shouldn't have been published on the front page.
It's as I said; I wasn't certain if Cloughie was newsworthy enough for an Aussie front page so I put it here where I thought people would appreciate it.
(Should of been front page IMHO but then I skip it when the Aussie rules footy players have been fucking each other, or wives, or kids or dogs or what / who ever so how can I moan!) :(

PS: Ignore Shrek, his girlfriend will dump him, he will become an alkie and the rest of the book was written by George Best!

He was a naughty boy and would have been punished as such except that he enjoyed that too.

[and3w]

As far as I know Cloughie stopped drinking; I know he died of stomach cancer :(
Mr Best wasted his life (and quite possibly someone elses) through his drinking...I have no respect for him except for a few years when he was playing in the '60's

[MisterBishi]

My favourite George best story, I forget where I heard it.

George Best gets in from a night on the piss; he's stopping at a hotel 'cos he's flying to Stuttgart? in the morning with the rest of ManU. He says to the guy on reception "Can you give us a wake up call at seven in the morning, I've got a plane to catch."

The receptionist says: "It's twenty past already."

"Revealed: Disgraced Mutu's Kings Cross whore shame
Testicles shrunken like sun-dried raisins
by James Frotbox
Following the unbelievably harsh seven month ban handed out by the FA to troubled former Chelsea striker Adrian Mutu recently, he was ordered to undergo stringent counselling sessions to treat his unsavoury cocaine imbibing habit. After covert surveillance involving days sat in the back of our old Transit eating doughnuts and urinating into a bottle, The Rockall Times can sensationally reveal that Mr Mutu is brazenly flouting the iron authority of the FA and continuing in his wicked ways.

After returning from counselling sessions, Mutu has engaged in marathon rounds of sadomasochistic rumpy-pumpy, devouring several kilos of finest Colombian gutter glitter from the calloused nipples of seven Kings Cross whores before slumping exhausted on his faux leopard skin duvet, his testicles shrunken like sun-dried raisins. Shockingly, Mutu’s depravity has not stopped at this tedious after-match entertainment enjoyed by the majority of Premiership footballers. During shameless searches through his wheelie bin outside his Kensington flat, we have discovered that he is addicted to the newest and most deadly prescription drug available today — suppositories.

Fast becoming the designer drug for the new millennium, these potentially deadly anal capsules are highly addictive and are often the next stop for users abusing soft drugs like cocaine or heroine. Mutu is believed to have become hooked on the rectal rush provided by these evil things after a post-match knees-up with close friend and webcam entrepeneur Leslie “Tugger” Grantham. It has now emerged that Chelsea had their suspicions for some time before Mutu was fingered that he was engaged in some form of substance misuse. The club agreed to cover-up the suppository use in favour of condemnation on the cocaine front, in compassionate efforts to spare him any further shame.

This has raised concerns that suppository abuse is becoming widespread amongst the country’s top Premiership stars, and gives rise to the widespread belief that sophisticated “masking” agents are being employed to avoid positive test results. Although botty swabs have recently been introduced to combat this growing menace and catch culprits, agents such as extra hot vindaloo curry and spicy chilli fajitas are being consumed to throw authorities off the scent.

Mutu did finally show some contrition for his wayward behaviour, and tried in vain to personally apologise and plead with the Chelsea manager, His Excellency Jose Mourinho, who refused to grant an audience. Several entreaties were made on Mutu’s behalf to Mourinho for clemency, all with little success. After his last emissary was decapitated and his head sent back to Mutu wrapped in sackcloth, he was finally released by the club.

We tracked Mourinho down to Chelsea’s training ground in the hope of getting the inside scoop on the Adrian Mutu saga, and he was putting his latest band of mercenary cohorts through attacking manoeuvres. Unfortunately, before we could be ushered into his temporary touchline court we were waved away by advisors. Not normally noted for his compassion, Emperor Mourinho’s latest proclamation has nonetheless surprised the fans. Unhappy at the subdued nature of the Stamford Bridge crowd of late, he has stated that he expects more noise and cheering from them in future, or one in ten will be dragged from the stands and put to death in the centre circle.


And they couldn't even win!

One of the few fixtures in the season where I want both teams to lose. If Arsenal can beat Chelsea & United beat Southampton then United will only be 6 points off the top, a far cry from the doom & gloom a month ago.

Talking about football is something I sometimes consider doing more of at work to fit in better. But it's so boring, I can't be arsed

[108]

I only got into the Premier League last season, when I was overseas and the EPL on TV was my only link to the Western civilisation. I watched amost every team play (except for the bottom teams that they never show) and after quite a while found myself looking forwards to the Chelsea games the most. Every sport is better when you pick a team to support, so I decided to lock in Chelsea as my team. I've got no English heritage so I was pretty much free to pick any team.

Now almost everywhere I read, everyone hates Chelsea. Is this an Ambromovich (sp?) thing or is it a deeper thing? Like how everyone hates Carlton in the AFL. I heard the fans used to be really racist?

I think its an Ambromovich thing. I don't know much at all on this topic or any other topic. One of my mates is a chelsea fan and he has noticed more hatred to chelsea since ambro has bought the club. One of the britts will know better.

I'm just happy the spurs won not just 1 game but 2 games in a row.

[King_Crud]

what's a coca cola football league?

[MisterBishi]

Only reason they got a good result was because they played Arsenal reserves.

What the hell? Bergkamp, Reyes, Ljungberg? I didnt watch the game but they're hardly reserves. I know Fabregas is a young player but Arsenal fans are creaming themselves over him and he's outshone Viera a couple of times this season.

Sheffield United showed yesterday, as Manchester United have done twice already this season, that once a game gets physical Arsenal's petulent foreigners throw the toys out.

The Arsenal v Chelsea league game will be interesting because Chelsea don't like a physical game either. I wonder whether Mourinho will tell them to go out fighting or whether both sides will keep it fairy-style.

[and3w]

You guys can can watch the all mighty and all power full skill full champ of champs spurs flog forrest tonight. Go you fucken good things. Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.


ps. Suck shit to the arses.

What a terrible quandry I am in with this game..on the one side, Forest are my natural enemies, on the other I'd like to see a team from the coca-cola league (yes, it's real..how many different names has the premirship had, ffs, and as for the cups..'The Milk Cup'..I mean, wtf was that about :( ) beat a premiership side.
However, being as I would quite like spurs to start playing up to their potential I guess that, as usual, I hope the tree hugging forest fuckers lose!
Arsenal only had Bergkamp for about 20 minutes play anyway :) :greenman: :) anyway, but Pires kept the toy throwing going well..Arsenal - Chelsea..Rattles at 40 paces anyone?

[King_Crud]

Fabregas is good on pro evolution 4

[and3w]

Only 1 topic today really..

Arsenal 0 (yup, zero) Bayern Munich 3

[MisterBishi]

So then, once again Thierry does his best Denis Bergkamp impression and doesn't bother turning up to a European game, Kolo Toure has another shocker and Cygan shows once again why it was a bad idea for Wenger to bring in nothing but attackers in the last year.

I didnt see any of the Liverpool vs Bayer Leverkusen game but by all accounts the scousers did well save for the inevitable Jerzy howler right at the end to give ze Germans some hope for the second leg.

Can't wait for Manchester United vs AC Milan tonight. Tough one to call but I think United will sneak it by a goal. It will be interesting to see whether RvN plays from the start or whether United go for Rooney on his own up front with Giggs and Ronaldo switching sides just behind him and RvN on the bench.

Barcelona vs Chelsea is another tough one to call but with Gallas back and Terry on form I reckon their defence could hold out, even if Drogba and Gudjonssen with no Duff or Robben doesn't sound all that frightening up front.

[and3w]

You honestly think Man U have a chance??? I know you are a fan but that is taking optomism to another level!

Pires did some lovely work last night and that bloody ref didn't appreciate even 1 of his dives, which were superb..I dunno, hard to get a good ref...

Chelski..yeah, difficult..I guess we will see how the Newcastle defeat affects them..I dunno, if they get a couple of losses on the run I think they might fall apart a bit..we shall see..

[MisterBishi]

You honestly think Man U have a chance??? I know you are a fan but that is taking optomism to another level!

Milan have a great defensive record but when you consider that we could potentially field a side tonight with Giggs, Scholes, Ronaldo, Rooney and Van Nistelrooy going forward its not that optimistic to expect a goal.

I think it's more likely though that we'll start without RvN and with Keane and Phil Neville/Quinton Fortune quite deep, Scholes a bit further forward and then Giggs and Ronaldo providing support for Rooney on the break.

Even at 34 or 35 though, I reckon Ronaldo could find Maldini a little harder to fool than some of the defenders he's been up against of late. On the other hand if Ronaldo's on the left then Cafu could expose what he lacks defensively.

Whatever happens, I'm really looking forward to the game. Shame I couldnt get tickets as the Anti-Glazer march before the game could be interesting too.

[and3w]

I have to say I don't take such tactical interest in anyone but DCFC, but I think that, although you have a good chance of getting a goal for the reasons you state, your defence just isn't going to be up to par. The march sounds fun, I wonder if the real militants, the ones who have made serious threats, will turn up. Eggs at the directors cars / boxes anyone?
If anyone, I can see scholes or rooney scoring from 20 - 30 yards out, I don't think out & out poachers like V Nistelroy or Ronaldo will be given the space

[MisterBishi]

I know what you mean about taking a tactical interest, and it sometimes strikes me that whenever an English club plays one of the famous European clubs a lot of people say they have no chance. I don't know if its because we've seen the likes of Giggs and Keane every week for ten years and we only see glimpses of the Zidanes and Ronaldinhos occassionally on TV, but people seem to automatically hold a higher respect for continental players.

As for the goals, European matches are always tight at the back but RvN just loves to score in Europe. I think his record is 30 in 31 games now, only Raul has more goals in the Champions League but thats from almost ten years in the competition. You're right though, its not going to be easy.

Forgot to mention Jaap Stam too, he should get a great reception tonight. The fans still have a lot of respect for the big dutch fella.

[dozer]

they usually hold a higher respect because they are better and paid more. when was the last time a pom scored player of the year?

sounds like it was a tight match with plenty of near misses, you wouldnt be happy with giggs?

on the other hand seems chelsea were robbed, drogba sent off and the dirty spainards had to come from behind. i cant wait for the rematch at home, now to get arse tickets and ill be set.

[and3w]

Even though I'm not one to blow my own trumpet (No, it's true, unlikely as it may seem) I think I did rather well in predicting last nights results (smirk)
Although I would have liked a Derby win, a draw is OK; I have a lot of time for Burnley as Turf Moor was the first away game I ever went to where I stood in the adults section when I was about 12. I remember they had really nice Pie & peas with mint sauce; I digress, Derby have got 3 'easy' games in a row (Forest fuckers, Wolves & Gillingham) so keep an eye on those places...

[dozer]

what a fucking match! after resisting the tmptation to sell my ticket for £300 i had a few pints and headed into stamford bridge to what was to be a superhyped match. excellent seats in the lower and non stop attacking all match, i was not disappointed. ronaldinio even went spastic after the whistle to add to the drama.

i even noticed mr bishis lads go down again, looks like they dont go through.

heres a pic of the last goal, i dont think he was held.

[MisterBishi]

i didnt see the man u game but id love to see chelsea go up against either milan side.

[dozer]

so you can spend £30mil on a player but not organise a camera on the goal line?

so was it a goal?

[108]

As much as I wanted Chelsea vs Milan, yeah I reckon it went over. Even if it didn't, there must have been a penalty coming anyway so I don't think it made much difference.

[berserk]

so was it a goal?
Chelsea gets none of my sympathy after Mourinho's crap about how 0-0 at home was a good result. If they couldn't score a single goal in 92 minutes, they don't deserve to be in the final.

[dozer]

they had plenty of chances last night, i almost thought gudjonsen had it with 30 seconds to go, drogba is useless.

i spose mourinho was happy they didnt concede.

[MisterBishi]

so was it a goal?

To be honest, I dont know. I missed the goal as it happened and the only replay I've seen was from the front (I missed the first 20 minutes and was cooking during half time). I've heard a few people say that it looked like it was in the first time but the dodgy replay angles gave them doubts.

Either way, I reckon Cech could easily have been sent off and they'd have been one down from the penalty with ten men for 80-odd minutes (plus 6). I think the linesman/ref just bottled it because it was so early on.

[dozer]

the point is theres only one crap angle, and from that replay you cant tell. why cant they just put a camera on the goal line?

i agree either youre right, there was a penalty coming, maybe with a red card, where did they pull 6 minutes from?

[MisterBishi]

Those sensors in the goal posts & ball make sense to me - instant decision, no disputes. With cameras you still have to have somebody look at the video which will hold up play (however briefly).

I think the 6 minutes cost Roman about £5m each. Still better value for money than Drogba though.

[King_Crud]

yeah that should use that tochnology that they have for the tennis. Or they could have a beam from the underside of the crossbar to the line and when the ball completely crosses it registers. Aren't they going to trial something in the German lower divisions?

[Movius]

I'm wondering how they'll fit the chip into the ball. because it would have to be in the exact centre of the ball to produce reliable results.

[MisterBishi]

If it was able to accurately 'sense' its position, i.e. at which angle it was at, could you not have it on the inside edge of the ball and allow for the radius?

I dont bloody know, it wasnt like this in my day, a pig's bladder was a pig's bladder.

[King_Crud]

I'm wondering how they'll fit the chip into the ball. because it would have to be in the exact centre of the ball to produce reliable results.
i don't think they need chips, i thought they could use miniscule metal fragments or something. I'm probably way off the mark

[Sparhawk]

I'm pretty sure that tennis balls don't have chips in them, and they manage that OK.

I don't know how they do it though.

sorry i think its hilarious, hes buying a new brand.

why dont you follow the brum team? is it becasue they are shit?

[MisterBishi]

It's because my dad and all his brothers are United fans and went to every game while I was growing up. We were shit then and nobody minded, especially the Liverpool fans next door.

Much as I can't see anyone wanting to buy DCFC, I was worried this sort of thing was going to start happening when Abramovitch bought Chelski. Now Man Ushite...who next???

And it isn't just P'ship..look at the icelandics with Stoke!

maybe its the irish having a larf at your expense?

i dont really think theres that much to worry about, hes in it to make money.

theres also the chance it wont happen.

[MisterBishi]

The thing to worry about is that financial analysts all seem to agree that the one market left for United to exploit further is TV. That means negotiating their own deal when the current one ends. Doesn't sound too bad for United, and Arsenal and Chelsea will be able to negotiate good deals for themselves, but the likes of Fulham and Birmingham will see a huge reduction in TV revenue.

theres no guarantee man u will split from the pack to go its rights, even if it did without glazer it would be the downfall of lesser clubs. the fact that they are mates says they will.

the debt wont affect them, they will still have more money to buy players and the debt will be cleared in a year or so.

OK, show your support for a fellow monkey and cheer Derby County on in the second leg of our play-off match against Preston North End!
OK, we are 2-0 down after the away leg, but we CAN beat them at pride park! Trouble is we have 4 of our best players missing!

Still, listen HERE (http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/sport/commentaries.shtml) from 19:45pm GMT.

"Derby County go into the second leg of the play-off semi-final without four key men. Chris Makin is still nursing the heel injury he sustained three weeks ago and joins Inigo Idiakez, Grzegorz Rasiak and Michael Johnson on the sidelines. Rams officials are calling on home supporters to turn Pride Park into an intimidating Arena tonight. The Rams go into the game 2-0 down to Preston North End.
As for the game itself... Paul Peschisolido says the Rams will be at the visitors right from the off: "It has been pretty much our approach every game this season... we've got 90 minutes to do it. If we score an early goal then the pressure will be on them and the momentum will be in our favour." Paul says having a vocal home crowd is all important: "As Delia said - they are like a 12th man. They've been fantastic all season. With them in full voice I think it will help massively."

C'MON YOU RAMS!!!

[MisterBishi]

I'll support the Rams on account of them being a Midlands club and playing at a baseball ground, which my own club could see themselves doing in a year or two. http://img275.echo.cx/img275/4602/emotnyd1ek.gif

reyes was red carded not vieira
he did the right thing... we were open for a counter cos senderos bombed forward... he had to foul him it took for the team what a legend

[MC SoD]

What did you all think of the FA Cup final?

As much as i hate Man U with a white hot intensity, they were clearly the better team. Ronaldo carved up, as did Scholes and Rooney. Arsenal looked so flat in attack, sorely missing Terry Henry. Football can be a cruel game, perhaps the only i know where the better team can often lose easily, and this time Arsenal came out trumps.

(Quote taken from other thread in Sports Forum)

I admit Rooney played a hell of a match... but if they were the better team, they could have gotten through our defence. Arsenal were quiet up front, but they held up Man U's attacks and stopped them from putting anything in (offside goals aside).

[Pagey]

Reyes got 2 yellows (not a red) and didn't take a penalty.

Having said that, Arsenal didn't really deserve to win, going by both teams performances, then again, their defence did its job well or was it that Man Ushited's forwards couldn't hit a barn door?
I dunno, just good to see the Shite taking it up the arse for a whole season "C'mon you Red Yanks" hehehehe

yeah u could say arsenal deserved to win but the same could be said to manure
if you dont put away the huge number of golden opportunities u have, then u dont deserve to win either, Ruud van horseface was horrible and y did he try to flick it in a la del piero style in extra time, he coulda easily side footed it in

Out of all the United players I have to admit that Scholes is probably the most halfway likeable. Well done Arsenal and now I can go back to loathing you next season because I won't be living in Finsbury Park. Fantastic celebrations around the ground after the match...the lengths people will go to have a kick around on a main road to celebrate. United wasted their chances and how many times have they snuck it in matches to win trophies.

Looks like it'll probably be more of the same 0-0 action on Wednesday Night in Istanbul.

[dozer]

i dont expect milan to waste chances like that, im expecting the pool to be hammered.

[Henrik]

So long as the goals come.

[and3w]

Henrik, when I was at uni I used to live in Blackstock road, with the Arsenal Tavern at one end & the ground at the other! Had to move the car every home game or it would get trashed!
Arsehole's

[Henrik]

That street has a good view of the Northbank. It's a dodgy area (hey hey! It's London!) but I've never seen any trouble because of the football...stabbings, tramps fighting on the road over a can of tennants super or robberies on the other hand.

[and3w]

Yeah, know what you mean..mind you, this was back in the early to mid '80's when there was a lot more rucking around the match (or at least it was more blatant!)

[pantsman]

It beats me how you arsenal fans can congratulate yourselves on holding a tight defense. It was leaky as fuck. The only reason there wern't ten goals put in the net is because of Man United's ineptitude. They set up some good opportunities, but missed some sitters by thier standards. And, they hit the post twice. Arsenal were lucky as fuck (and i like the gunners).

[MisterBishi]

There was also Freddie's instinctive and fortunate goal line clearance and an admittedly superb save by Lehmann from Rooney with his right foot. It sums up our season really, I don't know whether Carling Opta keep stats on it but I reckon Rooney has hit the post/bar about 5 or 6 times this season.

[dozer]

lehmann played a blinder, there were too many close ones but you do have to put them away to win.

[MisterBishi]

Yep, the only way we were going to see goals in that game was from the spot. It was a bad way to lose but there were a lot of positives for us, not least Fletcher who was overshadowed by Rooney & Ronaldo in the media but had a great game until he went off.

Hopefully Ruud will be back on top form next year - a lot of people are blaming "Ferguson's 4-5-1 european system" which is actually more like a 4-3-3, but we're creating chances and RvN is getting into positions to score, he's just a second or two slow. Same goes for Saha though I wouldnt be surprised or disappointed to see him leave in the summer.

Sven is a dick, he is tactically narrowminded (hey take a 1-0 lead early against France then defend for 80 minutes) and acts in a completely unneccesary arrogant way just to try and keep on top of the English press. Joe Cole on the left? 14 year old geek playing CM4 at home wouldn't even do that. They have the players ofcourse but its about finding the best formation for your best XI.

Hope they crash and burn...which will no doubt happen under Errikson.

[MisterBishi]

Joe Cole played well on the left in a couple of games recently, N. Ireland was one of them. It's certainly a better idea than wasting Scholes there, I doubt Scholes would have retired from International football if he didnt think he was wasting his time being played out of position.

Matty Dawson, Ledley King, Paul Robinson (young in goalkeeping terms), Edman, and Defoe compared with Reid, Routledge, Carrick and Davis.

the hype has already started for tonight, should be a good game hopefully providing chelsea decide to attack, anyone else watching it?

[MisterBishi]

Nope. Hope it's a nice 0-0 with plenty of injuries though. Liverpool have turned into Wimbledon since you last played them though.

[dozer]

liverpool are a different side playing champions league.

[MisterBishi]

If Crouch plays I wouldnt be surprised to see the Wimbledon long ball again like they did against us. Not sure how likely he is to play though, I can only ever bare to watch the scouse when they're playing United.

[dozer]

was not a bad game, lots of intensity through most of it but not many chances for both teams. drogba was crap and that tackle should have been a penalty, he isnt good enough to be up forward by himself.

i wonder if we will see a different style of play on sunday. the premiership has become boring, its just about breaking records now.

[MisterBishi]

Wonder what Roman will do with yesterday's £7bn earnings.

[dozer]

the dodgy bastard sold his company back to who he bought it from, while his other mate sits in jail. maybe he will make an offer for rooney.

[MisterBishi]

He cant have Rooney. :mad:

Paddy Power are paying out on Chelsea as Champions:

CHELSEA ARE PREMIERSHIP CHAMPIONS!!

Chelsea are Premiership Champions according to top bookie Paddy Power who have today declared the title race over by paying out on all single bets on Chelsea to win the Premiership.

It’s only September, and the leaves are still on the trees, but with Jose Mourinho’s team already well clear of the pack the bookie doesn’t believe they can be caught and are paying out.

Paddy Power, head of communications for the bookie, said: “We know and the punters know the Premiership race is already over so the winnings are better off back in people’s pockets.

Paddy Power expects their biggest winner to be a customer in their Archway shop in North London who stands to win £15,000.

However there is still hope for Fergie and Wenger for the bookie doesn’t always get it right. Paddy Power famously paid-out early on Arsenal in the 2002/2003 season only to have to pay out again when Manchester United pipped them to the title. Chelsea still have 31 games to play so anything can happen.

[dozer]

he could buy every club in the premiership if he wanted.

they are 10 points infront already, its pretty clear they have won and are just after the gunners record.

[MisterBishi]

Sad state of affairs really. Still we get Chelsea fans saying its good for football.

[beerbaron]

BOOHOOOO
for years it was arsenal and man united and no one complained then ....
oh hang on, we cant upset the balance of power. only 3 teams are allowed to win anything in epl,
being
arsenal ( who cant win anything in europe, and had french revolution, oh no english players, shhhh dont tell the media ),
liverpool ( because hey ,they were the most dominant side in the 70's and we think we were still the best)
manu ( with all our bandwagon supporters, we actually have won something therefore marketing is a goal)
not to mention wenger and ferguson are the biggest prats

as a chelsea supporter im glad my team is doing well, for many years they had always been a top 5 side but only won the occasional fa cup and league cup and always got bagged for buying foreign players and hurting home grown talent
... Anyone had a look at bolton or arsenal lately ?
As for Roman's involvement, well he could of picked any team in london and chose chelsea... i bet the arsenal supporters wouldnt be complaining if they were bought by him..

right, thats my bitch!
cmon chelsea !

[MisterBishi]

I suppose you wouldnt be complaining if he'd bought Arsenal either? Because he could have picked Chelsea? Dont worry London rivals it's all good, he chose you and not us and that makes it ok! If you think that the now very realistic possibility of a team finishing a league season on maximum points is anything but bad for the game you're either deluded or stupid.

As for your swipe regarding bandwagon supporters and marketing, why do you think one of the first things Roman did was take Peter Kenyon from United?

[King_Crud]

Hi guys soccer is cool it is played with eleven people and even black people and french people like it

at least hes not a fat american hey?

[MisterBishi]

Yeah there is that.

[Henrik]

The EPL-Home of the 4-5-1 formation and BORING FUCKING FOOTBALL. Shit even the SPL is more interesting than this English wank this season.

[beerbaron]

I wouldnt complain about arsenal being bought by Roman, Rubert or Gates.
Im not fussed about Glazier either...
chelsea qualified for the champions league before roman came in , and if he wasnt there we would still be a top 5 team and everything would be back to normal
be it ManU & Arsenal the only teams allowed to win the league
and didnt arsenal go through one season unbeaten to win the league. Thats a fantastic effort , no bitching then was there ?
as for bandwagon supporters , marketing and Peter Kenyon, Roman wants to transform chelsea and yes, make them successfull off the pitch exactly how manu have become
Give it time, Leeds will be back too with Bates behind the wheel

score 1-1
your turn Bishi ;)

[MisterBishi]

They weren't far off, and the bitching was aimed at referees and Bobby Pires. It was 30 games unbeaten - spanning the two seasons ending in 02 & 03 - United ended the unbeaten run and went on to win the league in the second season. but even that same Arsenal side wouldn't repeat it, it was a fluke. Chelsea on the other hand seem entirely immune to dips in form when they can replace anybody in the team with another proven international.

I'm glad that there's more competition and I'm also glad, in a perverse way, that United aren't performing too well and the glory hunters associated with the club are getting uppity and jumping ship.

Oh, and while Chelsea qualified for the Champions League, they were in a very similar position financially to another club mentioned in your post who got as far as the semi finals of that same competition in 2001, and look what's happened to them.

[dozer]

their player list is super impressive, when you can afford to not even play joe cole then youre doing pretty well.

any thoughts on keane leaving?

[MisterBishi]

Not really, we all knew it was coming and he's made no secret of wanting a couple of seasons at Celtic. It's not like when Cantona retired at the top of his game, Keano's been superb but he can't play 55 games at the top any more and we need to replace him. Hopefully Ballack or Gattuso will come in the summer.

I'm quite surprised that he said coaching at United doesn't appeal though. I can understand it not appealing now, while he can still provide a lot for a team like Celtic or 15 premiership clubs, maybe that's what he meant.

Has anyone consulted Celtic on if they even want Keane if all this is true? He's constantly struck down with injuries and when was the last guy who was 34-35 successful in making a comeback from a broken foot. The romantic notion of Keane playing for his boyhood idols is good and all but it's insulting to the Bhoys if he assumes they're going ot shell out a shitload in wages for the honour of having Keane at Parkhead.

[MisterBishi]

Keane would be perfectly capable of playing 30 - 40 games a season at Celtic and being fantastic for them. He totally dominated the likes of Gerrard and Vieira in our games against Arsenal & Liverpool last season and his experience would have a valuable influence on the younger players there.

That said, I expect he'd have to take a hefty paycut to go to Parkhead but then he'd almost certainly have to do the same to stay at United as well.

Yeah he could handle himself at his age in the SPL but how would him and WGS get on? Would he be too large a character for the dressing room? World Cup 2002 anyone? If Keane was desperate to play for the hoops like he claims he was then it should of been a long time into this contract and not now, I would rather have Neil Lennon that Roy Keane, atleast Lennon isn't taking the piss.

Juninho is also a prime example of a player who thought he could have a bit of a sojourn before retirement by running rings around the SPL but sat on the bench like a sad cnut. I'm just praying to god that there is no Petrov plus cash deal with Man U to get Keane in return.

Also I feel I may have ot wank over Marjec Zurawski soon, he is my new god.

[MisterBishi]

Keane would be free but would probably want relatively huge wages, but of all the players in the premiership I'd say Roy Keane is the least likely of all to move clubs for a paycheck and be happy to sit on the bench counting his money.

[King_Crud]

i reckon Keane would take a huge pay cut to play for them just for the sake of playing for them. He was on a great wicket at Man U, apparently (and correct me if I'm wrong) it was in his contract that he was to be the highest payed player at Man U, so whenever some top player got a pay rise so did he

[MisterBishi]

That was widely reported in the media when he first went onto £50k a week, I'm not sure if he's still on those terms though because he's re-signed a couple of times since. If he is still on those terms he'll be on something like £80k per week with the likes of RvN and Rio the Cokehead.

No one is willing to discuss the big FA Cup match between Liverpool and Man United? Oh that's right there is not much to say it was yet another shitfest between two of the big clubs in England again...are match involving Chelski, Arsenal, Liverpool and Man United still worth watching when they play each other this season?

Roll on the Chumps League.

I'm not willing to watch any of those wankers games live, the profiteering bastards..the prices of 2 tickets & train/coach fare put them well out of my league (pun intended).
Everyone should support Derby County instead, its comparitively cheap and you know it will be an exiting, high scoring game cos DCFC always fucking lose at the moment :balls:

Messi is awesome but we knew that already. The Chelsea game was very entertaining as a neutral, especially second half.

Dearest Chelski,
Get it right fucking up ye!
