Real Football (Soccer to you Yanks) Thread

Had a little wager on the game as it happens. Lampard and Malouda to both score in the 90 minutes, 10/1. £50 if I win.

by what i'm seeing david james is playing like a 25 year old

Half time and you can smell an upset. Chelsea are battering them but James is awesome and Pompey are somehow holding out, you can just see them getting that one break and a shock winner.

we live in hope

That was an awful penalty.

And that's how costly it became.

If only Portsmouth would of scored their penalty!

 

[Peter Parka]

That first saved penalty was a real turning point. Disappointed for Chelsea but there was a bonus for me. Fat Frank is now the only person to have missed a penalty (not in a shootout) at Wembley in the FA cup.:24:

Just reading through the thread and stumbled across this :24:
MOT!

That defeat actually affected you more than it did us (and this from actual Leeds fans), look at the way your season went compared to before that win. Sure you came up automatically but you should have secured promotion ages before that.

 

[Leodensian]

It did massively and thats why we've not gone on about it (much anyway ) until now!
The poor form is now all irrelevent as this season we beat you in your own back yard and got promoted!!

You think that's bad, if you said to Man City fans they could only have two wins all season and those wins to be over us, they'd take it.

And even with those two wins and the rest of the matches draws, they'd still be safe for a season!

Congratulations to Blackpool getting into the Premiership, even if something tells me the'll be straight back down again.

Yes ditto

I heard it was a great game. But I saw none of it

 

[Springsteen]

First half was great, second half a little bit more laid back, although still a decent enough half.

Congrats to Blackpool, I think every neutral wanted them to win. I don't think they have a cat in hell's chance in the Premier League but I don't think they are that bothered because a year up here will earn them so much money as a Town, not just a football team. TV Revenue, other fans coming to Blackpool and renting hotel rooms etc, so in economic terms it's brilliant for them.

Just watching the Champions League final. I think Inter will win narrowly, and I (although it's not exactly putting my head on the block) predict Jose will be the Real Madrid manager by the time tonight is out, regardless of whether they win.

Yes it feels like Inter have the better team and players.

Champions League on a Saturday? What is this madness I see before me like the D.Agger as seen before MacReina!

Feels strange doesn't it. Not quite right
