'09/'10 Premier League Season

[Ashaman DeRouge]

I did raise an eyebrow at that. He has been doing well, but I didn't think -that- well.

 

As january draws to a close I'm begining to worry that Liverpool might not actually sign David Villa :P

 

Another f--- up, by the way. 0-0 at Wolves is quite frankly very bad. 6 points off the pace if Man city win both games in hand...*sigh*

 

Coyle got a win over Burnley, too. I didn't catch the game but I bet it was feisty.

[Majsju]

This is how it feels to be city

This is how it feels to be Small

This is how it feels

when your team wins nothing at all...

 

34 years! 34 years! 34 years 34 years!

;D

 

[Ashaman DeRouge]

Hahaha... Tevez did 'orright though, I did only catch the last 20 mins though.

 

Arsenal to win on the weekend though.

[Majsju]

Wow, is this cool or what?

I thought ESPN would have been the first, there were some rumblings in the Seanchan org about this.

 

But, otherwise that's awesome. Now if only they make it so you DIDN'T have to wear the dicky glasses, it might become a viable home technology :P

[Corki]

They are also doing some of England's upcoming 6 Nations rugby matches in 3D as well...a chain of cinemas in the country are doing that. Now that I think is pretty awesome!

[Majsju]

Meh, sports should be enjoyed in a proper pub, not a cinema.

[Majsju]

Well then, seems like Benitez is on his way out.

Juventus just announced they have have fired Ferrara, and Zaccheroni takes over as manager for the rest of the season. Zaccheroni has not managed a team since he was fired from Torino in 2007, which strongly indicates Juve in no way sees him as a long term solution.

Meanwhile, strong rumours, of which I find some quite reliable, claims Benitez' lawyers have been meeting with Juve, which indicates a move for the Spaniard this summer. That would be the best solution for Liverpool, since a move means they would not have to pay his salary after his departure.

 

[Ashaman DeRouge]

These kind of rumours are NOT was is needed for LFC at the moment. Granted it'll probably happen at the end of the term, but all focus needs to be on the league, not next year...

 

Grim times indeed. A new manager might just be what the doctor ordered, I'd prefer new cashed up owners though...

[Majsju]

Great game, and an absolutely stunning performance by Nani. Seems like United might be hitting form now.

[Majsju]

And a funny tidbit from Spain...Apparently there are about 45% more babies born now than normal in Barcelona? Why is that? Well, incidently it is about 9 months since barca trashed Real wit 6-2 in El Clasico. Football is good for society ;D

[Ashaman DeRouge]

I found that hilarious, I wonder if the world cup has the same effect.

 

I had hoped Arsenal would mount a title challenge but now it seems like 2nd/3rd... still very early though, I'm just calling my hunches.

[Majsju]

John Terry scored away from home this weekend taking advantage of another players miss…

 

Hehe, Guardian is more and more becoming my favourite English paper ;D

[Majsju]

"After Wayne Bridges refusal to play for England as long as John Terry is captain, the fans have now encouraged Terry to also sleep with Emile Heskeys wife"

 

Not sure were this originated, but it is damn hilarious ;D

[Ashaman DeRouge]

Hahaha  :D Classic

 

In other news...kick off in the Merseyside!

 

L-I-V!

 

E-R-P!

 

Double-Oh-L Liverpool FC!

 

(Heres hoping I'm still this excited in 120 minutes time...)

[Ashaman DeRouge]

I was just about to post this:

And then Kuyt got a header, and I decided to post this.

 

 

 

 

[nothing. I'm not going to jinx myself...]

[Ashaman DeRouge]

*clears throat*

 

F*** YEAH!

[Majsju]

I almost feel sorry for Pompey, 5-0 and 20 minutes to go. But only almost ;D

[Majsju]

Great to see Nani is keeping his form despite moving back to the left wing. And great to see Rooney keeping his insane form, 7 goals in the last 4 games.

[Owayn The Traveller]

Doesn't look like Aresnal are up to a title challenge. Never really threatened chelsea and why to they bother crossing at all. The majority of the crosses are so poor and theres never any targets in the box.

I only hope they aren't stung into action agaisnt Liverpool on Wednesday. Also does everyone think Rafa is gone and who will replace him? I like to see Mark Hughes or Martin O Neill. Sparky will prob never get it though.

[Ashaman DeRouge]

Liverpool need money, not a new coach.

 

Unless something has already been signed, if Rafa continues this pretty decent unbeaten run I don't think he'll go. All depends on where we are at the end of the season, I guess.

[Thera500]

Arsenal look set to finish 3rd with a good end to the season,always looked a bit weak when it mattered. Rafa seems to be on his way out even though in my opinion he'll probably secure 4th place.Either way liverpool need cash and it looks like thats not happening for a while yet. :'(

[Majsju]

Heh, seems I might have to eat up my chuckles from when I learned David Elm would join Fulham. MotM in his first start, one goal and one assist in his second, and he looked to have started a good partnership with Zamora.

 

Nice to have one Swedish striker performing in the league, unlike that sad joke of a player in Bolton.

[Corki]

We're off to Wembley! We're off to Wembley! While it may only be the JP trophy, Southampton are off to Wembley! And I am really annoyed as I would go (Wembley is just down the road from me) but I have something else planned that weekend. Grrr!!!

 

I see HMRC (tax man) has a busy day in the High Court today - Premier League club Portsmouth (the Skates), Championship side Cardiff City, League 1 Southened United and non-league Hinckley United all face winding up orders. It shall be interesting to see what happens to these clubs.

 

In a way, I hope the Skates are still around come Saturday - I am looking forward to the Saints teaching them a footballing lesson or two in the early kick-off in the FA Cup this weekend in the South Coast derby. That would cap a brilliant week for us as we continue our revival!

[Majsju]

Hmm, after watching an interview with Keith Harris, it now seems that the trust fund created to take United back now has a good chance of launching a substantial bid in the summer.

 

Can the glazers turn down an offer that allows them to walk away with a bit of a profit, and thus getting away from a business where everyone absolutely hates them? So hated that they can not come anywhere near Old Trafford without having serious security.

 

If they do turn down the bid, I say use them to hire a good assassin or two. One way or the other the glazers must go.
