The official season 04/05 thread

OI! - leave DOL alone!

Agreed. Kanoute's crap, even for Spurs. Defoe's far too good for Spurs and will soon realise it. Keane knows exactly where the goal is but not how to kick the ball into it.

Alex

PS Wenger has stated categorically that Vieira's going nowhere, which means he'll leave for Madrid tomorrow.

PPS I'm convinced Rebrov is still capable of great things in the lower divisions.

I heart Rebrov becuase he is a keen Radio Ham which is such an unfootball thing to be into.

I can see Marlon Harewood becoming his new Schevchenko.

Matthew

<< I heart Rebrov becuase. . . >> You've got me this time. . . but being a keen 'Radio Ham' do you think something got lost in translation and he joined West Ham by mistake?

"I heart" is interweb jargon for "I <heart shaped graphic>" and means "I love".

A quick Google reveals that Sergei's callsign is "M0SDX".

Marvin Andrews sorted him out apparently - he's our new clogger now that Craig Moore is on his way out.

I'm more concerned about whether Redknapp will play this season. Louise or Jamie. Not bothered which.

I'll tell you what - you can have Jamie and I'll play with Louise.

Enjoying the Amateur Cup Final Live at Wembley on more than one occassion, I did always suss that certain clubs would progress.

I quite fancy Utd to pull out all the stops to not let Arsenal win it twice in a row.

If wet chest Viera goes abroad then I'm having money on it.

P

Top 6

1. Arse
2. Russia
3. Mancs
4. Liverpool
5. Newcastle
6. Boro

Going dahn
Delia's boys
Shit team from Croydon/Libya
Man C or Blackburn (perpetual underachievement has to be rewarded with relegation sometime)

Going up
WHU
Leicester
Wolves (again)

I would love to see the Irons wave at the Tottscum as the latter go down, but Levy's hopeless troupe will be consigned to lower mid-table oblivion after Kanoute discovers he is a citizen of another West African nation, Keane is dogged by injury and Santini and the other bloke argue about who's boss.

Kevin (Harmonia: Deluxe)

1. Chelsea
2. Arsenal
3. ManYoo
[Big Gap]
4. Liverpool
5. Newcastle
6. Logically one always picks Middlesborough here as they invaribly have an excellent off-season only to never quite live up to potential so I'll plump for a surprise with Charlton.

Definitely going down but with enough sense not to waste £10 million trying to stay up: Norwich

Definitely going down but insisting on squandering £10 - £15 million on marginal players who turn out to useless and/or get caught doing coke and shagging a z-list in Sugar Reef: Crystal Palace

This years one from six team after The Baggies sneak home by one point on the last weekend: Man City

Championship, er, Champions: West Ham

Also up: Who cares? I'll go for Ipswich and Leicester as I alwyas liked them.

Going Down: Milwall, Leeds

Imperial Lord Ferg has obviosuly been somewhere warm for his hols as he sporting a "tan" in the way that only Glaswegians can. Combine this with his famously ruddy (ie. whiskey fueled) complexion and at today's press conference he was roughly the colour of my old space hopper.

Matthew

Hoping to have an extra Yorkshire Derby to look forward to Alex?

He he.

This Glaswegian is a perma-tanned Adonis - with a Comic Relief nose.

Davie (and I suppose I should put one of these: )

Who would you want Fergie to look like ?

A. Perma-Tanned Fergie in a Chernobyl-stylie

B. Perfectly tanned Peter Andre.

Give me the Comic Relief (A) look anyday !

Indeed. If he's not good enough for Spurs then he's definitely not good enough for Rangers...

I see the Eagles are off to a flying start by printing 'CHRYSTAL PALACE' on their new shirts!

< Believe me, this won't be funny after you've read it a hundred times. >

"Vieira pledges future to Arsenal". Shows how far the club has come. The importance of this decision, in terms of symbolism and morale, let alone Vieira's playing talents, is inestimable. I'm well chuffed.

Alex

PS You can all piss yourselves laughing when he joins Barcelona tomorrow.

Following Patrick Viera's announcement today, the prediction can be made!

1. Arsenal
2. Chelski
3. The unspeakable club from Manchester
4. Liverpool
5. Middlesborough
6. Birmingham

Down:
Norwich
Palace
Spurs (we can but hope)

Having watched a lot of football on the first weekend I'm pretty confident that Newcastle will finish in the top 4 somewhere. Last 3 seasons of 4th, 3rd then 5th has clearly been missed by some people. No reason why we can't have another good season, so why some believe we'll be behind the perverts from smogland and the likes of Birmingham is beyond me. Despite having no centre backs at all it took a goal put in by Hasselthingys hand to give the perverts a lucky point.

Does anybody else think that the miss of the season has already happened when Jenas was busy making up the headline for the next day's papers and forgot he had to put the ball in the net first?

Anyway, it'll be an interesting season for sure. Everton look absolutely rubbish and my money on them with Billy Hill looks even better than I thought when I placed the bet. Still got my fingers crossed for Spurs to go down too and I saw nothing from the perverts to suggest they're anything like a top 6 team.

Arsenal for the title by at least 8 points still looks a fair prediction too.

Its not a huge surprise to discover that Shrek needs to pay for sex.

Wasn't this just part of Lowe's mid-term strategy though?

He originally wanted Hoddle back (why?) but bottled out because of the negative reaction from the fans. So he set Sturrock up as a fall guy so that if results went against them Hoddle could return as some kind of saviour

Hopefully, Sturrock probably won't have to wait long for another job to come along in the Coca Cola leagues and as the press release said it was by mutual consent he probably won't starve in the meantime.

If I was a Plymouth fan I'd be seriously hacked off though.

Matthew

What? They got promoted last season and currently have a record of P4 W3 D1 L0.

Football fans have very selective memories so its probably a case of Paul who?

If my successful young manager was, as has been suggested, knicked in a "picked to fail" style political move by a controversial chairman I think I'd be hacked off, the success of his replacement notwithstanding.

Reading f365's letters page though I wonder if he is quite all he is cracked up to be anyway. http://www.football365.co.uk/opinion/mailbox/story_123073.shtml

A Scotsman who eats fried egg sandwiches? Ridiculous. We're famous for our healthy diet.
