FOOTBALL!!

[Eljohno]

Hi guys,

thought it would be a good idea for each sport that everyone has an interest to have a category, so thought i would start with football even though this subject has been talked about. It might be easier for everyone this way, but you can let me know what you all think

[Eljohno]

Did anyone watch the International matches last night?

I watched most of the England match and to be honest i thought they were very average. The Uruguay goal was as good a goal as you will ever see at any level.
I thought Joe Cole was by far England's best player and it is good to see the Liverpool players doing well.

Also great that the Irish teams, North&South done so well. And what about Scotland, well there is not much to say so lets move on

Wales did not lose which i guess is not bad for them..

And not that you are interested but the last time i checked the Philippines were 166 ranked in the world but maybe that is because there keeper is maybe only 5 foot which would not help

Uraguay went to sleep in the 2nd half. England are well overated, more interested in hair style than scoring.

I was going to post something witty, but I have less than no interest in football personally, so I won't. I'll rant instead, 'cos I'm bored

I hate the way the whole world asks me "who's going to win the match tonight" assuming that because I am English I will have an intricate knowledge of whatever football game is going to be played that night.

I hate the stereotype that assumes all English people live and breathe the game where 22 grown men kick a small bag of wind about for 90 minutes, surrounded by 88,000 other grown men who stand and scream support and/or abuse, then go down the pub after to argue about how 'their' team did, or what 'their' team should have done, or whether 'they' will win next week. 88,000 tacticians who all know better than the £100,000 a minute professionals on the pitch.

I hate the yob mentality that makes gangs of men act like four year olds and start fights to prove something I'm not sure about to other people. Usually fights where there is no chance the other guy will win, because it's not much fun being 'ard' if you get your fecking head kicked in every time you show off


I hate that horrible fake deep voice that 'fans' put on when they yell and sing about football. We've all heard the battle cry of: "yourgonnagetyourfeckingheadskickedin" Imbecilic at best. A group of small inconsequential nobodies, rendered huge and invincible on Saturday night, by their common interest in a sports game???????

Unbe-feckin-lievable!!

Of course, 99% of football fans are nothing like the above, but there's no fun hanging earache on them is there? :lol: :lol:

You know any of the friends i have over here who do not like football are usually into Sci Fi, are you a trekky. But i know what you are saying its fine if people do not like football, its either in your blood or it is not. There is more to life than football like our beautiful Filipino wives

Liverpool 0 Charlton 0

Yet again Liverpool totally outplay a team and cannot score, come back Michael Owen!!!!

[Admin]

Owen. Your having a laugh aren't you. Injury prone, money grabbing, and slow. No wonder Newcastle are handicapped

As long as we do the deed in Europe, and we are not letting in goals in Premiership, that'll do for me, and I would think Benitez told them to take it easy & not get injured for that match make sure he has a full team for Europe.

I agree that its great that we are not letting in goals but thats not much good if no one is scoring at the other end. I front man have i think one goal between them this year. Michael Owen although gets injured easy has a great scoring record for the Reds....

[Admin]

We're fighting between 2nd-3rd place, so we've obviously been doing right.

Having the best defence in the league is what has got us so far up, but we should be beating the likes of Charlton at home..

We need to finish above Man U as its been a while since we have..

I am going to phone a local travel agent first thing Monday morning to see if there are any seats left for the Benfica game this Wednesday night, as they do a bus/boat/match ticket deal for about £90.

It would be a great game to be at....

Man U & Chelsea can't beat the bottom teams :lol:

And for some reason Liverpool are struggling to beat London teams.

But as long as we beat Man U

[Admin]

Come on REAL MADRID!!!

[Eljohno]

I thought Chelsea gave up without to much of a fight tonight.

I think the Reds will be the only English team left in after tomorrow night

Arsenal don't wear red

Well coz most people know who the Reds are, and that Arsenal are the Gunners!!

[Eljohno]

What a poor performance by Liverpool last night, when the transfer window opens again they need to throw Cisse, Morientes & Traore out of it.
They should get whatever money they can for Cisse & Morientes and swap Traore for a lechon as he is one of the worst players ever to pull on a Liverpool shirt.

Well done Arsenal!!!!

[Admin]

Told ya the reds would win, sorry maroon.....

Hope no one backed Liverpool......never back a team with it's against the wall, it is non-profitable long term.

[equaliser]

As a Man Utd supporter , I just want to say "Well done Benfica"

I'm sorry but when Liverpool are always set up for a 1-0 boring match , it is always preferable to see a team that plays passing football. Liverpool have turned into Wimbledon in red. If in doubt , launch it at Crouch

I'd rather eat dog crap than watch Man U
