I thought this was a football thread, at least thats what the first page is about, but no disrespect to soccer since it is the season, football is much more exciting to me though, i come back in sept., GO COLTS

new sports forum

Am I the only one who feels like smashing something when reading comments like that?

lol we imnvented the game,, called it football and they seem to think that wwe should call it soccer??

They're the ones that pick up the ball with their hands, dagnabbit!

We need one more debater for this debate: Battle of the 'Football' Codes!

The last person's partner will be PA.

Anyone think Carrick will join United???

Ho ho ho! Nice one



No and I hope he doesn't Ferguson needs to learn he cant take good players off clubs by waving his cheque book anymore, Man Utd dont have the pull they once did, besides why would any midfielder go to Utd? It is a career ender look at Kleberson, 4 years ago World Cup finallist scorer, is he even there anymore?

Correct me if I am wrong but waving check books at players is what it is all about? after all Chelsea have won...... Ooopps sorry, bought there Premiership titles waving their check book.

Lol let me guess you are a Man U fan?! Anyway I know everone does it but the difference is Chelsea are a good side aswell, Man Utd Aren't

You guessed wrong, I hate Mun U... Chelsea are a good side now, thanks to a Russian and an open check book.

I'm no chelsea fan but lets be fair to them, Cole, Lampard, Robben, Duff,. Cech, Terry etc were all Ranieri's ppl. Kezman, Drogba, Ferraria, Maniche were Roman's and look what happened to them, i belive they would have won the Premiership under Ranieri the next year anyway?

But you mention one thing about football in an american football thread and this frogfish is the first one to bleat and whine.

I would like to see the Arsenal win, but it will be tough now that Chelsea have got Andriy Shevchenko also in their team .

US is out of the world cup. And I no longer care who wins now. Is that a bad thing?

Yeah its a bit narrow minded, anyway USA were never close to being contenders anyway, a matter of time as they say

No I think they had a decent team this year, USA could have done well.

But leave the world cup bits to the world cup thread. I think is Man United get requelme, carrick and maybe somemore (torres etc) we could challenge Chelsea this year.

you may get carrick but you have no chance in getting requelme or torres requelme will cost around 25 million and torres will go to milan for around 35 mill you dont have that sort of money

There are sites that say we already have Reguelme.

And its nice to have my footballing buddy back again.

Sorry for the double post but I am bumping this from the 2nd page as the new season is less than a month away and it stops alot more new topics whiles its up here.

So.... who do you think will join the Prem from Italian Giamts Juventus as they are now in the bottom league with -30 points.

I hope arsenal buy patrick viera again, but i hear fergusson is after him ? . I'd hate to see him play for them (

Man Utd may want Viera but he will never go, he hated Keane hates Van N and i was under them impression he wasnt impressed with Fergie?

besides the fact Man Utd arent the pull they used to be, 5 ths season at least!

Giant Minds of Football

viera to man utd not a chance.plus time for cashley cole to go to chelsea we have no time for you cole swap for gallas and swp i would do

LOL lovin it mate! What you think of your new stadium, and the soooooooo rigged arsenal-ajax game, obv I knew it would be rigged for bergkamp to score but ajax should have had 5 in the first half!!

Well Man U play tonight, against Charlton, hope its a repeat bof the Fulham game, we destroyed them.

Good to see our injuries all coming back, Smudge played for the reserves on Monday.

any villa fans around? anywhere?

come on scotland lets pump france on saturday.

ALBA GO BRAGH

Blimey, this thread died a bit of a death didn't it!

BCFC

oooh a real football thread


Ye come on Scotland!!!

Well I'm bringing my Son to Paradise for the first time in a couple of weeks....Thats Celtic Park or Parkhead to the uninitiated - home of Glasgow Celtic football Club

Always a great time to be had and since he's now almost 14 ...time to welcome him to the fold....
Whats your Team and why ?

A lot of my dads family moved to Glasgow in the 50's and my uncle gave me a scarf he wore to the European Cup final in 67....since then i've been hooked.

MON THE HOOPS

Whats your thoughts on Wayne Rooney atm??

It annoys me when I hear people saying hes lost it and hes playing like an average player. Hes still very young we need to bare that in mind and we all have our rough patches. Once hes fit and has his confidence back, he will go back to his normal self.

Yep, the aussie supporters are back to discuss their own team (we really aren't as biased as we look, really ).

Friendly played in Queensland, Australia just now.

Australia - 1
Paraguay - 1

Australia went up in the 87th minute courtesy of a well-deserved goal from a set shot. Marco Bresciano chipped into the penalty box where Tony Popovic was on cue to deliver what seemed the winner in Popovic's final game for his country before retirement.

A 92nd minute equaliser came tragically (or joyously for Paraguayan supporters) through an Australian own-goal.

Oh well, at least it wasn't a loss. Australia's lost it's killer instinct since the World Cup, I think *shrugs*

Scotland 1 - France 0

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY We did it!!!! Sent the french back home packing hahahaaaaaa

Needs to find some form. I'd drop him for Wednsday just for entertainments sake, to make the English public sit through 2 games as boring as saturday within a week would just be cruel. Stick Defoe or Bent on against the Croats and we might see a bit of spark.

Of course once he finds his feet in the league again Rooney will be straight back in the 11 for the next game

I think if Franny Jeffers was given anothe run in the league there would be some suprising results.

He must be worth the 11 million the scum paid for him...

He's not even worth what Blackburn paid for him
The jug eared party boy

Well 0-0 in the England match, what an incredibly boring performance, we are capable of doing so much better, I would have played Defoe from the start instead of Rooney, hes yet to get back to his normal self.

I saw Defoe outside the Arndale centre in Manchester last week. He stared me out the cnut. Jermaine Jenas was there too with his abnormaly coloured and shaped head

lol, cool, I would have gone and got their autographs

Judging by the look Defoe gave me I would've got a lot more than that (an arse kicking). On that note a guy on my course at Uni told me he was at a club and had a bit of a run in with Bradley Wright-Phillips. Apparently the blokes an utter twonk, tags along with his brother and all the England posse giving it large and trying to pick fights wth students.

Seems todays footballer really is as bad as the papers say

Is it just me or do you as a spectator get nervous most when the commentators start off saying "they're playing a home game against vastly inferior opponents, they will win this match quite comfortably". It's those times when you really start looking for the upset

back to the old days england our a disgrace tonight time to drop rooney and bring on walcott and get rid of the manager and get o neil in now.

I think the problems England have are far deeper than just Rooney and the Manager, Rooney does at least work.. the team are Just crap and they have been left way behind when it comes to playing football, they are tactically crap and very few of them play as if they are proud to be wearing that shirt.

I'd love to see McClaren just stick two fingers up at all the lazy big name tossers in the next international break and leave a few of them out of the team to shake things up.

For instance:

Carson
Young - King - Dawson - Bridge
Lennon- Hargreaves - Gerrard - Cole
Bent - Johnson

Is a team that would easily be a match for a side like Israel or Estonia.

a lot of changes are needed all over the pitch drop crouch he is not an international forword lampard needs to go as well move gerard to the centre get shut of carrick and drop gary neville my team 442 1 robinson 2 wright phillips 3 bridge 4 king 5 terry 6 hargraves 7 gerard 8 lennon 9 johnson 10 rooney 11 joe cole subs kirkland ferdinand lampard beckham bent
