Football 2010/11 part 2
Posted by: nicnaim on 21 January 2011
As the previous football thread seems to have evaporated with the forum upgrade, I thought that someone ought to start another.
Gives me a chance to swap banter with Jet down the road, and keep up to date with the pain of being an Ipswich fan. Just Spurs to overcome tomorrow, so plain sailing really.
Regards
Nic

Nice of John Terry's dad to referee, and I'm surprised the media aren't calling for Luiz to be banned for his elbow on Hernandez
. Manchester United's midfield aren't up to the job - a big part of the away form. Who wins the title will depend a lot on injuries/bans; Arsenal have defensive problems and an attack that, through injury, fluctuates from highs to just about workable, whilst Manchester United have the aforementioned soft centre and are heading towards the dregs of the defence barrel. The silver lining from yesterday is it's given Chelsea hope.
Cheers,

Well done to the Tractor Boys you have done us a big favour today. Defeats for both Swansea and now Cardiff means we are still 8 points clear tonight!
20 points should do it now.

Man U have £20M bid for Swiss super star rejected.
Barcelona say their referee is not for sale at any price.

No surprise, it was their most valuable player.

Another step towards promotion today for QPR with their 2-1 win against Palace. They now need 18 points to be absolutely certain with 9 games remaining; in reality it is probably more like 12 to see them through.

Lets hope there is no points deduction. It would be heartbreaking after this.

Difficult to imagine who should captian England surely not Terry after last year and the way
We played in the world cup, new blood needed!

Choice for captain, one who shags a mates wife, one who beats people up or a druggie?
What fine examples ?
Posted on: 22 March 2011 by OscillateWildly
It's hard to care about the whole shooting match. As for captain, give Joe Hart a go.

LeBron goes soccer
"Over the past two decades, soccer has become increasingly popular in the United States. Beginning with the 1994 World Cup, American sports fans have steadily come to understand that players are full of engaging style even if there aren't a ton of goals, and that a draw can be just as exciting as a victory. These days, there are enough casual soccer fans that a mid-week broadcast of a Champions League match or a big weekend game between two English Premier League clubs can get a pretty solid TV rating in this country.
In fact, the sport is popular enough here that an athlete investing in a successful soccer club can be seen as a pretty intelligent business decision rather than some questionable entrance into foreign enterprise. So it should not be a terrible surprise that Miami Heat star LeBron James(notes) now owns part of the legendary Liverpool Football Club."

Karma makes a down payment. You're not happy enough with every major decision for the last 6 or 7 seasons? Wonder if John Terry will get a ban for running towards the linesman/referee's assistant and shouting "F
cking hell ref" - heard loud and clear on the broadcast
Talking of Karma and swearing:
It's two for Roo - some may see it as Karma; it was foolish to expect common sense from an organisation that is responsible for the Burton mess, beyond a joke regarding contract negotiation, run like an old boys club, and with UEFA and FIFA is a major cause of disrepute. If Manchester United get through and win the FA Cup, collect the cup, face the FA, do a Harvey Smith - flicking the V, then turn and lift the cup.

"Wonder if John Terry will get a ban for running towards the linesman/referee's assistant and shouting "Fcking hell ref" - heard loud and clear on the broadcast."
Slightly more reason for it than being so stupidly angry at having just scored?

That particular incident, no, no reason for John Terry to do it. Whether vaild or not, Rooney wasn't angry at scoring, it was the camera trying to butt in.
Unlike league games - no comeback - and three of the quarter-final teams, Chelsea still have a reasonable chance.
