'09/'10 Premier League Season

[Ashaman DeRouge]

Ha, go Stoke.

 

70th minute...interesting goal hah

[Ashaman DeRouge]

*shakes head*

 

Laughable ref.

[Majsju]

This the incident you are thinking about? http://upload.ducedo.com/images/fun/vierakick.gif

 

Hardly surprising it is Viera who does the dirty...

[Ashaman DeRouge]

also that late goal denied by the ref for no apparent reason.

Liverpool can only hope! 3-6 points taken away from everybody else is a good thing  ;D

[Owayn The Traveller]

That could never happen, never. Oh please let it happen  :-\

[Ashaman DeRouge]

Nice work Everton. The two youngin's will be chuffed, I'd imagine. The last goal was terribly soft, though. Billyaletdinov(sp?)'s was a GEM, though.

[Majsju]

Evertons two last goals can both be laid on Evans, who has completely lost form the last few weeks. It does not help when Evra for the first time since coming to United shows signs of being tired, the bloke needs some rest.

 

Shows, not for the first time this season, that the big teams must be sharp when playing Everton, or this will happen. Unfortunatly, United did not manage to recharge after the historical win in Milan, resulting in quite an awful appearance. When even Rooney was bad, something is not quite right.

 

Hopefully it will work as a wakeup call.

[Owayn The Traveller]

Evans loss of form could be related to being alongside Wes Brown. Also Utd were poor against Milan during the week. Lucky not to be out of it in first half. Scholes and Carrick both played pretty awful in midweek and against Everton. I think its Scholes last season at Utd and Carrick isn't god enough for them. Liverpool had no prob with the toffees.

 

God Liverpool were dire today. How can he stay looking at Lucas. He cannot see a pass or pass a ball.

[Ashaman DeRouge]

Better than N'gog :P

[Owayn The Traveller]

Okay but that's like comparing which disease is better. Leprosy or the plague, Mmmmmmm? At least N'gog has scored a few goals 5 or 6.

[Corki]

It looks like the Skates are heading into administration. We will see by Friday...

 

I think I am looking forward to a possible South Coast derby next year...as long as Southampton have an awesome run in at the end of the season. It started well last weekend with a (fortunate) 2-0 victory away at Norwich, the League 1 leaders. Bring on Wycombe tonight!

 

[Majsju]

And into administation they went.

 

Hate-meeting of the season this weekend? Terry vs Bridge. This could be worse than Keane vs Håland...You

, right? ;D

[Corki]

And from what I have read, their finances are an absolute mess. As a trainee accountant, I would love to actually see them...

[Majsju]

Well, that they had to loan money just to pay the players wages kinda speaks for itself.

 

What I really can not understand is why they did not sell any players during the January window. I mean, fighting for survival was a rather futile struggle even when the window opened. Sell a bunch of players, get some cash, and reduce the amount of wages you have to pay. Instead they waited halfway into february, realised they had to sell, and begged FA to allow them to do so. ::)

[Ashaman DeRouge]

Makes me think they had a buyer lined up, only for them to pull out after the window closed.

 

Sucks to be Bridge right now, the greatest honour a player can have right around the corner, and then through no fault of his own he misses out. I get he could choose to play on, but really Terry makes the situation difficult.

 

Really it should be Terry bowing out of the team, he isn't doing to well in his last few games anyway from what I've heard/seen.

 

Kinda feels like the bad guy won, yeah?

[Majsju]

Depends on what you mean with 'won'. Terry had the chance to captain the best gteam England has fielded for a tournament in ages, now he is no longer captain, and the defence is seriously weakened. When England is knocked out, Terry will recieve a fair deal of the blame even if he himself puts in a top performance.

 

The only winner here is Englands opponents.

[Ashaman DeRouge]

Well, the bad guy ended up in a better net position. Bridge is out of the team, no honours, playing for 4th in the league, and betrayed. Terry is still in the national team, headed for a league title, and currently embroiled in a scandal that, let's face it, we'll all forget in about two years time, or at least the impact of it.

 

I don't think losing the captaincy is a big a deal as it's made out to be. Prestigious yes, but how much more prestigious than being in the team anyway?

[Corki]

The problem is that most of the British public (though not me) like these sorts of stories...

[Corki]

You must have nerves of steel to be a Skates fan, considering you can't even go into administration in peace and quiet...

[Majsju]

And now it is official that negotiations have started to take United back from those greedy rednecks.

Sell or die!

Negotiations? I thought it was just a bunch of unhappy fans with no power making some noise...

A bunch of unhappy fans with the ability to raise an enormous amount of money, as well as the ability to convince fans to stop buying merchandise, stop going to games etc...For the first time since EPL started, there has in several games been a noticable amount of seats not sold.

[Majsju]

Heh, Torres seems to have told Spanish media that if Liverpool does not buy 4-5 top class players next season, he wants to leave. At the same time, rumour grows stronger that Real might try to go after Gerrard this summer, as well as going after Benitez.

 

 

Watching Uniteds last couple of weeks, Berba seems to have taken the criticism the right way. He has put in some stunning performances, including yesterdays MOTM against Fulham. And he is not the only one, Nani returned from having been sidelined most of the season a completely new player.

 

But most of the focus when talking about United right now obviously falls on Rooney. 32 goals total in all competitions right now, and at least 10 more games to play. He might actually reach Ronaldos "impossible" 07/08 tally of 42 goals.

And if Rooney can keep this insane form up, the World Cup can be quite fun for England...

[Ashaman DeRouge]

I fear for Australia if we have to play England in the knockout rounds.

 

Rooney is unstopable at the moment.

 

Good game from Liverpool this morning, his second goal a real cracker.

And the commentators mentioned something about a group interested in Liverpool, that's exciting.
