25 goals for Rooney now, he's always been near the standard of the top players like Messi, Ronaldo and Kaka not just getting there now as the papers say.


Yay Lyon beat Real Madrid, only 1-0 but I expect Madrid to win at the Burnabeu second leg.

He's up there now Darlo, but the big thing will be to see how all of those players you mention will do at the World Cup, because that's the pinnacle. I also think last night proved that on his day Ronaldinho is still up there with the best as well. I feared for United in the early stages because Ronaldinho was absolutely ripping Rafael to shreds, could and should have scored when he skinned him and then shot straight at Van Der Sar. Also did some magestic things with the ball at times.

Vieira been charged,


We might actually be in with a chance of winning something now then

Just need Mancini to revamp your defence.

The BTC did well last night.
Alas! Back to the drawing board for the 'boro. Couldn't beat 10 men and missed a penalty.

1 shot on target between the 2 sides at Wiggin, and the pitch played a massive part in it. The ball was bouncing around like a rugby ball...

4-1 against cov. wer so gan up man. toon toon barmy army toon toon barmy army
caroll scored again

Fabianski

Can't see Weiss wanting to stay at Bolton, he wanted a loan to get first team football... not sat on the bench and coming on the last 20 mins to clean up the cr*p mess that others have made. Playing Weiss and Wilshere together would be lethal... eff knows why Coyle aint starting them. I was speaking to a Bolton fan the other day and he said they both are probably their best players.

Well as Taylor is doing everything humanly possible to get dropped, he probably won't have long to wait.

To expect to go straight into the team would be somewhat arrogant though...

Unlucky Arsenal for for Porto's second goal, still all to play for.


Disley still not keen on Paul Robinson?. Team seem to be doing alright under Owen Coyle.


Glad about Jason Koumas coming back to WBA.

Typical southern, Bavarian,  cheats

www.skysports.com


Pompey desperate measures but will they get a yes?.


Glad Bayern Munich won.


Newcastle are interested in Koumas also now.

Well! Let's hope that the cheating Bavarians don't get drawn agin Manchester and take advantage of another dodgy referee. We'll never hear the last of it.

You mean Salford?

Point taken

 i'll be amazed if they did, how many other clubs would then ask the same thing ?

I hope they can survive going out of business Strike.


Do any of the other teams even feel sorry for Pompey?.

you've got to feel sorry for them darlo  
i just don't see how they will be allowed to sell people out of the transfer window, it could cause mayhem.

Gordon Taylor and co or whoever need to give their support to Pompey.... I feel for their fans although the lower league teams have it tougher.



Desperate times call for desperate measures.



Looking forward to Saturday. I just know if we lose the papers will be like United blow title chances or something.


I'm glad I didn't watch the Liverpool match either earlier, apparently it was dire and an average performance oh well at least they won.

 sky sports are making it out to be the Wayne Rooney show, with guest appearances from the rest of the Man utd team and Everton team.

Thats what annoys me about the AC Milan match they and the press were on about Beckham. It's about both teams not one player grr it annoys me lmao.


Late charge for top 7 on.

don't see it darlo, Fellaini out for six months,
i can see Man Utd winning the league though, six weeks ago i thought Chelsea were certainties to win it, not no more.

Fellaini is such an important player thats a shame, still enough quality in there if they don't get injured as your squad is small.


Still think Chelsea will win the title, wide open still but yeah we could do it now to prove people wrong.


At the bottom is a question mark apart from Pompey of who gets relegated?.

 
one team who have really slipped ...... Sunderland, they were talking about europe early on in the season  
not saying they will go down but they are on a slippery slope.

No not Sunderland


Maybe Burnley, Hull or even Bolton?.


Looks like Crystal Palace will get some money for the cup run, hope they manage to scrape the points together for safety first then take things from there. Warnock needs to learn to keep his mouth shut.

Shamelessly stolen from 606... what might have been if Megson was still in charge.

So lets go back to the end of December. We've just thrown away a 2 goal lead against Hull only in this reality Phil Gartside does nothing........

30th December 2009 - Bolton fans are waking up hoping to see the yellow ticker that spells doom for Gary Megson, however, what they see is Phil Gartside giving him a vote of confidence. "I'm Sure he can get us out of this and I'm letting him get us prepared for the weekend game against Lincoln!" Cue the worst bickering ever seen on 606 that is to be forever known as cull Wednesday where at least 7 members of the Bolton board are banned for airing their feelings in too much a bad way.

Friday 1st Jan 2010 - with ticket sales going badly Megson tries to rally the fans however, this goes horribly wrong when he actually critisises them again calling them not fit to wear the replica shirt, he also calls Lincoln a team of world beaters and promises to give them utmost respect.

Saturday 2nd Jan. A paltry 7,312 people pitch up to see Bolton squeeze Lincoln out of the cup 1-0 with a last minute Taylor free kick, small on quality the end attendance is 4014, 14 of them Bolton fans. More insults follow.
A bit of rest bite from football as snow in Sunderland causes the match to be called off - Megson says that dark forces were responsible - Bolton fans albeit a bit relieved still blame Megson for the snow as blaming him for everything is fun.

2 games vs Arsenal in a week now and in the first, (on telly as well), we defend far too deep and don't even look like threatening. A 0-4 scoreline flatters. An evil atmosphere makes way for the calm resignation of doom. The second game fares no better a 5-0 battering which without Jussi would've been 8. Still there's still the cup.

A thousand Huzzahs we edge Sheff U 1-0 in the cup in a match watched by 6,000 mostly insomniacs the goal coming after 67 from Klasnic,(just before he is taken off). 2 clean sheets in cup games are we turning that corner? We'll see on Tuesday as Owen Coyle's Burnley pitch up.

Ah. No. But a 1-1 draw is a half decent result Coyle gets a huge reception from both fans, (with the Burnley fans putting up posters of Jesus with Coyle's head superimposed on it), Megson gets booed as we let a lead slip, (and nearly worse), once again. Burnley loan signing Jack Wilshire is impressive some remarking "that's the type of player we need"

In the transfer market Megson tries to dib in and signs Guti, and some full back cloggers we've never heard of. Klasnic is broken for a bit so fans favourite Rasiak is brought in as emergency loan cover from reading.

A spirited performance against Lolerpool, (sorry Liverpool), ends in a defeat but we can be half proud of the performance.

January gives in to February and the visit of Fulham. Spirits raised with the half decent Liverpool performance gives way to disaster as we fare badly ending up conceding an 80th minute winner due to defending for a 0-0. Those few fans remaining at the Reebok all protest at full time. The media latch on to this but are unsympathetic saying we're at fault for all being nasty and we should all be grateful. Meanwhile up at Burnley Owen Coyle deity's are selling by the thousands and work is underway on the 20 foot gold statue.

Gartside still doesn't panic and we go to Man City looking shot to pieces. The blue mooners racing away 3-0 due in part to some very dodgy defending now Cahill is out with what Megson calls "some witchcraft done by evil forces"

Tottenham in the cup is an anti climax 3-1 we lose in front of 4 Bolton fans, 1 dog and the rest Spurs supporters. Due mostly to Megson resting most of the 1st team for the Wigan match.

Wigan away it seems is Megson's last stand. The first teamers come back in but due to both the awfulness of the pitch and both teams awfulness it ends goalless our first league clean sheet. Megson is sacked - the media think this is unfair as look we're 1 match unbeaten and it's all the fans fault.

Gartisde rings Barry Kilby at Burnley to speak to Owen Coyle but he says Owen is busy turning Water into Iron Bru. Gartside gets on the phone and we usher in a new, slightly wacky era, of former Italian Keeper Walter Zenga...

Damn, another loss then still not the end... Defence needs sorting out but i've been impressed with some of our play so now got ro respond next match hopefully.


Good match and Everton will be full of confidence now. Now with this topsy turvy seaason Arsenal have the chance to close the gap

Sir Fergie looked a tad angry in his post-match interview. Did anyone else notice this?

Did Everton win?

He said as much as he dared in The Grauniad this mornning. All is not well.

Meanwhile both my teams lost today. One of 'em was 2-0 up with ten minutes to go.

Forest and Newcastle won, so now pressure on WBA.


Chelski and Ze Arsenal won, so what?, good for them i'm keeping the faith of United winning the title if we don't at least we was close.


Brentford lost, after that win at Leeds.. Saddlers on a roll.

wolfsburg won bundasliga last yr didnt they. why du support bayern? i no ther top now but they stil mite not win it the league this yr

If they win the league or not they are still my favourite German team. Glad Leverkusen are on the up again.

Cheltenham Town 2 - 0 winners!     Next stop - Europe (or perhaps not)

 We was robbed I tells yer, robbed!!
Hi all, have recovered (partially) from the debacle that was Wednesday night in Porto - 3 points today at least but still not firing on all cylinders.

LOL Hi Veggie... I was at my cousins flat talking to her boyfriend (TV was in the next room) all of a sudden I heard by the noise that Porto had scored so I rushed back to look.


Title race going right down to the wire.

Hi Darlo, how are you darling?
I think the PL is interesting this year - and the other leagues are keeping it tight too.
I will go mad if the PL let Portsmouth go under and we lose the 6 points we got against them this season. In the interests of fairness to all the PL teams, they must keep them afloat until the end of the season at least.
I felt really sorry for Portsmouth today, to lose like that in injury time

I'm good thanks, enjoying chilling. I agree it's better than it being clear cut who will win what, even the race for top 4 isn't clear or relegation places situation either really exciting.


I really feel for Pompey, IMO I don't think enough is being done to help them at all.
