Premier League season 2010/11

It's not our fault you can't get promoted

 

[skyblue]

Bullshit, they are shit because the results don't always follow the play and they get relegated from the big leagues. Whether a team plays in front of 67 fans or 67,000 fans, they should always play to win, hasn't always happened.

.

but if you play in front of 67'000 you can buy a rooney and ferdinand......in front of 67 you have to make do with billy longbottom and fred shortstaff

 

[Springsteen]

Well that's partly it, it's also to do with success on the pitch/on the financial sheets to allow the money to become available to buy those players and to pay those prices, although we do get overpriced for these players (Carrick was not, is not, and never will be a £16m player) but clubs know we'll pay those prices.

mugs?

 

[Springsteen]

Partly, with Carrick, Hargreaves, Veron etc taken into account.

when fit hargreaves is quality

 

[Springsteen]

Yeah true, but he's a crock at this time. A very expensive one.

Random stat, he's cost us £435,897 and 43 pence for every appearance he's made.

goal of the week.....varneys for blackpool against wolves

 

[Springsteen]

Oh yes.

I enjoy watching Blackpool. The thing is I think they know that if they didn't attack teams they'd get beat 6-0 every week because they really can't defend. So really they have to attack, credit to them, it's good to see. Premier League needs characters like Ian Holloway.

 

[TGLucario475]

The Premier League needs teams like Blackpool who know they won't be able to beat the big boys all the time but will do whatever it takes to score a goal against them! As for the comment about supporting local teams, Liverpool is my local team but in terms of nearest stadium then it's Everton by a few meters...

 

[Tuffdisc]

That was a good goal by Varney

 

[Tuffdisc]

3rd Round of the FA Cup draw, and we have.........errrr....Man U

 

[Springsteen]

Should be a good game

Good day for us in the Premier League with Chelsea only drawing at Newcastle, we're still top.

 

[TGLucario475]

Skrtel scored a goal! Bloody hell! And he scored a second!

 

[Springsteen]

In fairness I don't really blame him for the second because it's a terrible position to be in as a defender. He had to do something.

 

[TGLucario475]

I can't really say much as I was in Manchester all weekend, so I didn't get a chance to look at the Football except for the scores.

 

[Springsteen]

Bolton 2-1 Blackburn

Shit until Muamba scored, then it got good. Blackburn equalised after 87 minutes, less than a minute later Bolton went up the other end and scored. Tottenham vs Chelsea next, should be good

 

[Zorak]

Carlos Tevez is all over the news, looks like he is on the way out of Man City.

Don't feel sorry for Man City, but it is bad for the Premiership, because once he is gone, and Torres eventually leaves Liverpool, there are only maybe 2 or 3 world class players left. And who knows how long Fabregas will stay.

 

[Zorak]

Tottenham 1-1 Chelsea

A good result for Chelsea I'd say in the end. Considering their poor form as of late.
Still, not sure Drogba should have taken the penalty...

Speaking as a former penalty taker, training and match-practice has little to do with it. You are either a good penalty taker or you aren't. And 99% of the time you know beforehand if you're going to stick it away.

 

[Springsteen]

Wigan vs Aston Villa and Liverpool vs Fulham both off. I expect Blackpool vs Tottenham to be called off too.

Birmingham vs Newcastle off now, and there is heavy snow at Arsenal, so that might be called off.
