Arsenal do their job tonight and not blow it at Highbury and Juve will be the only universally loathed team left in the competition...unless you hate Le Arsenal or Liverpool ofcourse.

...and Terry was offside. It doesn't matter. The only shot they had on traget was the penalty and the goal in the first round. There was a clear gulf in class between Chelsea and Barca and I am glad to see it. I hope Arsenal at least make the Semis so Highbury sees some big games before its closed down. Apart from the last North London derby there is nothing left League wise.

Brilliant lol. Great matches on Saturday, Would of been great to have been around Highbury and Finsbury Park for the 1-1 draw at Highbury. Dodgy goal, hate figure playing for the away team who gets sent off and end to end play. Would of been interesting if it was a Chelski V West Ham cup final, would of been little flare ups all the way down the motorway to Cardiff.

Oh and Dean Alston, you sir are a cunt if your foul on Schwartzer means he misses the World Cup.

The weird thing is there's nothing on any of the main news sites about this. Can you imagine the uproar if a bunch of Mancs at a Cup Semi at Anfield were to spray shit about Hillsborough or Heysel all over the walls? They'd probably have a 5 minute silence at every game for the rest of the season.

was a very shit game but the penalty spiced it up, top work by jens. im tipping 2-0 to barca in paris.

the liverpool night life comes highly recommended, those girls just do not cover up no matter what the weather.

Tim Cahill out for 6 weeks with a knee injury yet he found time to go out on the booze the night he did the knee and got in a fight with a Liverpool fan..nice one Tim you dolt.

[MisterBishi]

Awesome, a new record. The English media have managed to hound somebody out of the England manager's job before he'd even taken it!

http://home.skysports.com/list.asp?hlid=383198&CPID=219&clid=114&lid=2&title=Scolari+pulls+out+of+England+race

[dozer]

he will take it once the shitstorm has died down. i hear it was actually the portugese death threats.

cheski romp into the premiership title.

nasty fall for englands finest, no doubt we will hear the whining about how the cup could have been.

[Henrik]

Birmingham relegated, Rooney injured....brillliant day. 'The Special One' says he almost walked out on the club twice during the season yet doesn't say why. I still stand by the fact that Wenger is a better manager then that miserable cunt.

Scolari could of owned the ENglish press, if he can do what he wants with the Brazilian national team he could of with England. I hope O'Neill isn't considered...if he takes the job the next day the sun will have pictures of his ill wife leaving a treatment centre or something.

[King_Crud]

Ian Wright said he'd rather see England in the wilderness with and Eglish coach than win the world cup with a foreign coach. I think this sort of attitude sums up Englands problems.

[108]

McLaren was all set to walk in to the England manager spot, but then the FA decided to pull the plug on that and instead raise the hopes of 3 or 4 other English managers, offend Hiddink, scare off Scolari, and approach every other out of work manager.

And in the end, they'll just hire McLaren.

[108]

Steve McClaren.

Is that good news, or bad news?

[King_Crud]

Steve McClaren.

Is that good news, or bad news?
Steve McLaren=English manager, nothing more. I think Sam Allardyce would have been a better choice, seing how he turns average players into a good team, where as Steve McLaren has done what's expected (or even less) with the players he has. Frankly i think England should get past the xenephovia of a foreign manager if they want to win anything soon.

[dozer]

mclaren has done well but has also done bad, i think he will be out of his depth.

allardyce is too unpredictable, 50 yard throw ins and long bombs, he was also begging for it.

[Henrik]

Steve McLaren for England=
http://www.vb-h.net/dvd/mbem03.jpg

[MisterBishi]

I think McLaren will be ok. He's worked with the England setup for years and so has international experience of a kind.

[dozer]

an interesting day for football in london. a few minutes before half time it looked like the hughbury celebrations would turn sour.

so much for spurs.

[dozer]

ripped from another forum


The word on the street is that RVN is on his way out for sure.

This is the supposed reason for yesterdays exclusion from the squad

Training practice; Quieroz was the ref

Ronaldo fouled by RVN

Ruud says something along the lines of; no surprise there giving your son a free-kick

Ronaldo kicks it all off saying his dad is dead, Ruud replies, "no Carlos is your dad". Mayhem ensues with a few of the senior players having a go at RVN Ronaldo pretty upset by the whole situation

Ruud told he was on the bench as he was being disruptive in training.

Big argument with Fergal leaving him dropped entirely



not looking good for the horse, or man u.

[MisterBishi]

Providing we get somebody world class in to replace him I dont mind. He's 30 now and it looks like its time to cash in while we can.

I hear Adriano isnt happy...

[108]

Weeoooooo news just in:

Provisional England 23 man squad

• Goalkeepers: Robinson (Tottenham), James (Manchester City), Green (Norwich)

• Defenders: G Neville (Manchester United), R Ferdinand (Manchester United), Terry (Chelsea), A Cole (Arsenal), Campbell (Arsenal), Carragher (Liverpool), Bridge (Chelsea)

• Midfielders: Beckham (Real Madrid), Carrick (Tottenham), Lampard (Chelsea), Gerrard (Liverpool), Hargreaves (Bayern Munich), Jenas (Totenham), Downing (Middlesbrough), J Cole (Chelsea), Lennon (Tottenham)

• Forwards: Rooney (Manchester United), Owen (Newcastle), Crouch (Liverpool), Walcott (Arsenal).

• Standby players: Scott Carson, Luke Young, Nigel Reo-Coker, Jermain Defoe, Andy Johnson.

Two injured strikers and a rookie. Crouch is gonna be your primary striker :D

And I don't watch any Bundesliga, but why does Hargreaves keep making the team? Erriksson has a hardon for calling him off the bench all the time, but he never does anything.

[MisterBishi]

Outrageous. Fucking Walcott? He's never even kicked a ball in the Premiership! Where the fuck is Defoe! As for Hargreaves, thats just embarassing. At least with Walcott nobody knows whether he's fucking useless.

[108]

This is pretty fucking funny.

[dozer]

bwahaha, no defoe or wright-phillips but cole and campbell in. looks like crouchy will be kicking all the goals :)

sven gets the last laugh.

[dozer]

so say crouchy gets a big knock on saturday that puts him out for 3 months? who will score englands goals? thankfully walcott is being 'rested' for wednesday nights game.

I'm forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air,
They fly so high, nearly reach the sky,
Then like my dreams they fade and die.
Fortune's always hiding,
I've looked everywhere,
I'm forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air.

[MisterBishi]

Crouch wouldnt score goals fit! However, I think Sven has him there to win the ball and keep it long enough for a very attacking midfield to run onto. Lampard, Beckham, Gerrard and Cole can all score. I just hope we dont play the Bolton long ball game.

[dozer]

crouchy has got a couple in a white shirt (not away pool) but nothing really against quality opposition. i agree with you until you mentioned beckham, do they still burn a candle for him at man u?

[MisterBishi]

Not really. A lot of United fans agree that Ruud has missed his crosses and I think that Fergie realises that he doesnt suit our system as much as he did when Beckham was around.

[108]

Newsflash! Shevchenko is on the market!

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=367699&cc=3436

Chelsea? Barca (second choice after Henry)? Real Madrid? :o

[MisterBishi]

We'll have him at United if thats ok!

[dozer]

shev will go to chelsea.

[MisterBishi]

It was reported yesterday that they were going to get both Shevchenko and Teves. That's a pretty frightening prospect.

[108]

well, assuming they get rid of maniche, the number 7 jersy will be free...

[kré]

that gerrard goal was a fucking strike

[dozer]

bastard robbed the game and caused me to drink many pints.

[Icky_Thoomp]

Both Gerrard goals were quality - that first one on the volley, the second one was just one of the best strikes that you will ever see. I was ambivalent last night about the FA Cup but now I am glad that Liverpool won as the performance of Gerrard was so deserving.

How about the penalty from Teddy Sheringham?? 40 years old and the only Hammer to score. And with such authority! Come to Ipswich, Teddy - we would be very nice to you!!

[dozer]

they didnt deserve to win, they were never in front for the whole match.

[TheMightyPhill]

That's fair but it's not like the hammers deserved it either... an own goal, a cross which somehow went in and a big fuck up from the goalie- not exactly convincing. The scousers deserved it on stevies performance alone.

[dozer]

5-1 underdogs who would have won with 1 minute less of extra time. harewood should have wrapped it up in extra time, ah well fantastic game.

[Henrik]

Best Cup Final since 1989 when Everton put it into extra time in the last minute just like the sympathy merchants did in Cardiff. Haven't seen a bullish and talented fat bastard like Dean Ashton since Matt Le Tiss was around.

Hopefully it'll be a big match tonight in Paris too, would like to see Arsenal win but it's better personally if Barca get up. Plus the one and only Henrik Larsson would finally get a winners medal in Europe after coming close in 2003.

[Henrik]

Larsson comes on and sets up the two goals....he's still the man.

I had trouble understanding what Andy Gray and Martin Tyler were sayign on the commentary because they were taking turns at sucking Arsenal's cock...Clive Tydlesy has nothing on them.

Great subs from Rikaard which shows he might be a good manager after all. Henry may well stay now after this match..he'll get pulled up for his dummy spit interview after the match.

[jae_hyung]

fucking bullshit match the ref was a barca player the whole time
so many fouls by marquez, puyol, olegeau he let slip by
so dissapointed fucking hell
inevitable that we'd lose with 10men but i'm proud of the Arsenal players

[MisterBishi]

Andy Gray was fucking embarassing. He was incredulous that nobody was booked for the 'foul' on Eboue that led to Arsenal's goal, funny how they neglected to show a replay. Eboue had already been booked at that point as well.

The sending off was as clear a sending off as you'll ever see. The keeper was outside of his box and clearly beaten by Eto'o. The ref couldnt have correctly played the advantage as the ball was played past the keeper by Eto'o, which meant Giuly was in an offside position. Whether the ref realised this at the time is highly unlikely, I admit.

Full marks to Arsenal because they played very well. Another positive for them is I think Henry is a certain gooner next year. He pretty much tore into Eto'o and Ronaldinho at the end there which suggests to me that Barcelona isnt a likely destination.

[King_Crud]

Bishi, Guili was never offside. I don't know about the UK coverage but the Australian half time coverage clearly showed this.

[MisterBishi]

Really? I was pretty sure he was offside when Eto'o tapped the ball past the keeper and was brought down. Where was the defender playing him on?

[108]

Really? I was pretty sure he was offside when Eto'o tapped the ball past the keeper and was brought down. Where was the defender playing him on?
Yeah I just saw it again on the news. Eto'o was fouled and made the pass on the edge of the penalty area. Giuly was a further 2 or 3 metres back. Onside. The goal should have stuck as well as the red card.

And funny how like you said, there was no mention of the dive by Eboue that set up the first goal. Biased commentary? Never!

[berserk]

I don't know which was worse, Clive tyldesley doing some heavy breathing over the mic on 1 channel or Andy Gray moaning for 70 minutes about how the ref was an idiot on the other channel.

The moaning got so bad I resorted to watching the match in silence towards the end.

[jae_hyung]

It was a red card for Jens but the ref could seriously have just let Barca have the advantage and given Jens a yellow, that way it would have been 11 v11 (or 12) and a much more even context. I think we could have won today if it was 11 v 11 just a shame the ref bottled it
once we were down to 10 is was just a matter of when, not if we would concede
still pissed off how many Barca players were let of the hook by the stupid ref but our boys did themselves proud today, just wish we could have been more clinical with the chances we had... still in my view the ref ruined what could have been one of the greatest finals ever

[MisterBishi]

The rules exist to ensure a fair game of football, not to ensure a good spectacle for viewers of a TV show.

[Movius]

I watched the first half on SBS and the only thing worse than the referee's performance was the commentary. Why does Andy Gray lose the ability to form whole words when he is excited or angry?

in other news... Disgusting (http://www.theworldgame.com.au/home/index.php?pid=st&cid=70984).

[dozer]

was a non event after jens was sent off. where was ronaldinho?

as for movis news, 'its the home of footabll' wtf?

[and3w]

For once I agree with Bishi..Red for Jens (blatantly grabbed etoo round the ankle)..and I have never seen a more blatant dive than that which got ARSEnal their freekick & Sol his goal.
Still, arsenal did well to keep it clear until 77th minute, but it was inevitable.
PS: Ronaldinhio is still one ugly motherfucker.

[Icky_Thoomp]

Hey And3w, when is the playoff for Premiership promotion? How do you fancy Leeds' chances?

[King_Crud]

By the sounds of it Real would be happy to get rid of Carlos. I hear he's not playing so well anymore.

[108]

33 years old and they want to sign him for 3 years. I don't know if he even has the legs for 1 year of the Premiership.

[jae_hyung]

Sheva, Kalou, Ballack to Chelsea plus the millions wasted on other players.. it's just not fair

this scale of spending is unprecedented in football history. not even real madrid nor inter combined have the financial resources that chelsea has. regardless of tactical acumen you cannot disregard the unfair advantage that chelsea's unlimited spending power has over the rest of the field. take note, finances are probably the most significant barrier to success for any football team. it limits any manager's capabilities. thats the purpose of management: to allocate SCARCE resources efficiently. management is management... in business or otherwise.

now given a situation where the constraint of scarcity is totally disregarded how can you say that the input of management is that significant? you can't.

all the rich clubs that you have cited: real and inter, they still have to deal with scarcity. real madrid had to sell their training ground to pay off debt for example. chelsea has no such limitations. they get away with NET LOSSES in their income statements every year and just laugh it off. imagine a business that can do that. thats not even business anymore. its totally insane. the fact that they can invest year after year without as much thinking of possible return on investment is totally beyond the scope of any financial model. i can only imagine chelsea's balance sheet: no cash, no liabilities and millions in abramovic's equity.

Hate Chelsea so much

Football League clubs have agreed to consider a revolutionary proposal for penalty shoot-outs to decide all drawn matches as part of a wider review aimed at making the game more entertaining.

A meeting of the 72 league chairmen agreed to a working party being set up to consider the proposal among other ways of making their competitions more attractive.

The proposal was put forward by Football League chairman Lord Brian Mawhinney, and would see all drawn matches in professional league games outside the Premiership go to a shoot-out.

MK Dons manager Paul Ince is a strong favourite to take the vacant Derby job.

Derby chairman Adam Pearson told BBC Radio 5 Live he had "two or three main candidates to replace Billy Davies," who left the club on Monday.

Pearson said: "I want someone who is resilient and dogged, but who thinks he can win. Time is of the essence."

Bookmakers Coral said the "wheels may have already been put in motion" on an Ince deal and Ladbrokes took "£50 on Ince for every £1 on Paul Jewell".

..or so the BBC says (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/7113523.stm)

In a bid to keep our pommie sport out of the other threads, I've decided to create a thread in which you can bitch at me, or others, about football.

What I'd like to avoid is people bitching that football is crap, as this is purely a matter of opinion and arguing about it would be pretty retarded.

I'm fully aware that people exist that do not like football, this I can accept as I don't like Cricket, American Football or Synchronised Swimming.

Key Points To Remember:
---------------------------------------------------

Manchester United are the greatest.
Alex Ferguson is not a paedophile.
You all want Roy Keane in your team.

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

Discuss!

its not points....its laws or facts!

Ten months and a day after Stephen Pearson's play-off winner at Wembley sent Derby County into the promised land of the Premier League, the Rams are back where they started.

A campaign that started dismally and got progressively worse ended on Saturday with the quickest relegation in the history of the Premier League.

The bare facts make dismal reading: Derby have won only once this season in the league, they have scored a paltry 16 goals and conceded a monstrous 67. Managers Billy Davies and Paul Jewell have combined to win 11 points in 32 games so far.

But are the Rams the worst team the Premier League has ever seen?

i heard that the club really didn't expect to get promoted so soon and reckon they would have been better to stay down for another season or two

[and3w]

Was what Billy Davis said about a year before.
The problem was our tight fucking board. The play-offs were the richest game in football - we got £60 million in benefits for winning that; so what do our board do? Spend fuck all in transfers when we went up, used $24 million to pay themselves back. By the time the greedy cunts had decided they needed to, and could, actually spend some money on players (January transfer window) it was too late, we were never going to stay up (I think we had 6 or 7 points!) and the whole team was demoralised.
Way to go, board! CUNTS!

[dozer]

even a stopped clock is right twice a day, derby really are shite, theres more than the board to blame.

[kré]

hey crud

[and3w]

agreed, but it stems from the boards attitude. I mean, who the fuck gets promoted to the english premiership & doesn't buy any players? Then, even when we got some (well, 1) 1/2 decent player(s) the team is so demoralised that it's too late.

I take it you are referring to Mile Sterjovski? The same Mile Sterjovski who hails from my hometown of Wollongong, NSW and played his junior football around the corner from my house? We're practically related!! :)

More interesting is the promotion race in the Championship. Ipswich are currently 7th and need to pull their finger out to get into the play-offs. They lost to Colchester last week and we have the derby against Norwich this weekend. We better win that one....

[108]

nah, hes gotta mean savage. from what ive seen of sterjovski, hes got emertons old habit of dribbling down a cul de sac and promptly losing possession.

i thought laurent robert would have been a good signing but i never paid enough attention to derby to know how that went

This year it's an all English UEFA Champions League final. About time :P

Talking of 'about time':
Premier League footballer Joey Barton has been jailed for assault and affray.

Barton, 25, was arrested in Liverpool on 27 December 2007 after he was involved in a confrontation outside a McDonald's restaurant in the city.

The Newcastle midfielder, of Foxbank Close, Widnes, admitted the charges last month but reporting restrictions were only lifted on Tuesday.

He appeared at Liverpool Crown Court where Judge Henry Globe QC sentenced him to jail for six months.

The judge told the former England player it was a "violent and cowardly act".

A spokesman for Newcastle United said the club was "considering" the verdict.

A statement read: "Newcastle United notes the sentence passed to Joey Barton at Liverpool Crown Court today.

"The club is considering the verdict and will be making no further comment at this moment." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/7409943.stm

Should have been longer, the violent, racist cunt.

[MisterBishi]

Barton, 25, of Foxbank Road, Widnes, was caught on CCTV knocking an unidentified man to the ground.

He then straddled the man, and punched him four or five times as his cousin threw food at the victim before Barton punched him up to 15 times more.

Minutes later, the player attacked a 16-year-old, punching him and leaving him with broken teeth.

:stooge:

[and3w]

But remember, when his brother got sent down Barton said he never hung around with the rest of his family (OH, except his cousin) What a cunt

MANCHESTER UNITED: Repercussions of Evil

Cristiano Ronaldo waited. The floodlights above him blinked and sparked out of the air. There were Galácticos in the stadium. He didn't see them, but had expected them now for years. His warnings to Alex Ferguson were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway.
Cristiano was a red devil for five years. When he was young he watched the games on television and he said to dad "I want to be on the pitch daddy."
Dad said "No! You will BE SIGN BY REAL MADRID"
There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in the stadium of the Manchester United he knew there were Galácticos.
"This is Ferguson" the manager bellowed. "You must beat the Galácticos!"
So Cristiano gotted his setp over and blew a free kick over the wall.
"HE GOING TO BEAT US" said the Real Madrid
"I will tackle him" said the Cannavaro and he lunged in the slide tackle. Cristiano step overed at him and tried to nutmeg. But then he fell and he was injured and not able to score.
"No! I must beat the Galácticos" he shouted
The manager said "No, Cristiano. You are the Galácticos"
And then Cristiano was a Real Madrid player.
