Though to be fair if I go to watch Hannover 69ers or St Pauli, I pass Darlo, York, Doncaster, Peterborough, Steenge, Arsenal, West ham's future ground, Lille, Anderlecht, Leuven, Standard Liege, Col-og-nuh, Dortmund, Schalke, etc.

Hi Joe, I think if anyclub wants to double in size, they are going to attract a fanbase outside of their normal catchement. Most top flight clubs have always had fan clubs throughout the country and Europe.

I get the feeling we are gonna end up looking like right nobs again tonight... same thing as Chelsea game, play for a draw, plan fails and they score in second half.

If I still lived with my parents I could. Now I pass St James' Park to get to watch my team, but that's it!

I see Joe's in the money again.

Great goal by Carroll. Tevez off injured. Mincey won't be pleased.

Making the red dippers look like world beaters and Tevez out for the rest of the season.... only at City.

 

3-0

 

 

Vinny throws himself to block two shots.... Kolarov just turns his back.

3 - O 

Do you think they'll stick with Mancini or will they get rid at the end of the season?

Rid hopefully... I don't think we have had one game to actually celebrate about. The best win we had was last season under Hughes at Chelsea away. He took a risk today not playing De Jong who is one of most vital players in the side and brought Barry back in. We deserve everything we get at the minute.

 

Right now, I would be tempted to take off our players for the SWP and McGivern simply to prevent anymore injuries... let them run riot over us.

So, stunning comeback in the second half. 3-4 final score, Carroll accidentally strangles himself with his pony tail and Ballotelli shoots the referee after the final whistle. You heard it here first.

Fair play to Liverpool... Suarez and Carroll running riot. Ref is having a good game aswell.

 

 

 

 

The only way it can get any worse now is if Reina scores.

Was that the 4-2? Wasn't Mancini in charge then?

Oops, didnt read over my post so made an error... been a long time since we had something worth shouting about though. Could say the win against Liverpool at home felt good but nothing that really worth remembering.

I see that Mad Dog has done the dirty on Barnet - again!

When I was at the Arsenal babies game there last week, a couple of the stewards were saying that they didn't think that Kleanthous should have let him come back as he left Barnet in the lurch before when he sodded off to Brentford. Now he's off to Notts County.

Can't blame him really though. He was only at Barnet on non-contract terms, so a permanent position was always going to tempt him away especially with them being a bigger club and in a higher division. 19 days is impressive though

Only Mancini could go in the dressing room 3-0 down and send the same team out to do exactly the same thing over again

Yeah, they've just had him on 5live talking and he seemed genuine and very honest about what had happened. Plus he did get them 7 points out of 9 in the three games he had them for.

Barnet are on the ropes financially even though they made a killing on all us council tax payers by the council gifting them Underhill by making an error in the terms of the contract for Underhill - or summat. Can't remember the exact details of a few years back but I know there was fury locally as it means they can sell the land that Underhill is on and make an absolute fortune and that is money that should be going to the local council. There's a lot of us think that the 'error' in the paperwork was deliberate

83 mins in...

 

3-0 down...

 

Balotelli off for De Jong

Yay!!

 

We always pull out results against the 'big' teams but shit the nest against the smaller teams

 

I'm sure you have seen this doing the round:

Well there has been a new one made!lol

http://hascarrollscoredforliverpool.com/

 

Have they done a http://willcarrollbeplayingineuropenextseason.com yet?

 

No but it isn't impossible.

God bless you Andy Carroll. You have paid for tomorrow's generous lunch! May you go from strength to strength!

 

Your run-in looks tricky to me. City were dire tonight, Arsenal will be a lot tougher. Still you did us a favour tonight, 3rd is looking more achievable now for us.

But we can take points of Spurs which will help us too. Its a long shot but certainly not impossible, we can beat the big teams but it's the relegation teas who have a bit of bite in them that we cant handle. Chelsea can do it, but Ancelotti needs to play Torres according to form which is shite, it seems to be causing ripples in the Chelsea camp, and I'm not just saying that because it is Torres, i said the same about Rooney for United. 

A guy on RAWK makes these, remember the JT one. Well heres a new one.

Lol

Only if war is declared

 

 

 

C'mon then, let's have predictions for tomorrow night, all you Chelsea and Man U fans.

 

I don't know why but I have a sneaking suspicion that Chelsea may just do it - Torres for the hat trick

Btw I am proper rubbish at predictions so breathe easy Muf and Darlo

United 2-1. 

 

Chelsea have been really dung recently, and Prom even you will admit it. United at OT will be too strong. Chelsea need at least 2, I don't know where they are going to get the scores from- Drogba should be played up front on his own, or paired with Anelka the occasion is too much for Torres ans when you are fighting for CL you can't afford to experiment. Yossi and Ramires are looking good, Lamps is nothing more than a leader and Pen taker of late. I don't know how United do it, they are so shite but they manage to get the results. 

 

Anyway, I'd rather see Shalka beat United then Chelsea

 

You're right but you've got it the wrong way around. The ripples in the Chelsea camp are due to big name players resentful of Torres coming in. Drogba, Lampard and Malouda all refuse to pass to him. He'd have five or six goals by now if he hadn't been completely ignored when in position for a tap-in. 

 

Benayoun has to start, Lampard has to be dropped. He's been crap for months anyway. Torres and Anelka up front tomorrow with Yossi and Mikel providing service with Ramires and Malouda on the wings and Man U won't know what hit them but it will never happen. Ancellotti is Italian. He's already stating the importance of not conceding before the game has even f*cking started and we're one goal down already. We're out tomorrow night.

Out of the possibilities I would prefer United to win everything, except the League obviously, I backed London Arsenal to win that! On the other hand if the ex-Blue Collar, working class, Das Boot supporting, Schalke won then I'd be very pleased. Anyone other than the Iberian teams basically.

Lol

You could've pissed Barca off and call them Spanish!

 

 

I'm not sure whether the catalans read this. For years I referred to Munich quite rightly as the cheating Bavarians. Never got a bite.

 

Players refusing to pass to him is absolute bullshit.

 

Comp	Minutes on pitch	Shots on target	Shots off target	Total (excluding blocks)	Shooting accuracy (5)
Premier League	416	1	6	7	14.29
Champions League	201	8	2	10	80
Total	617	9	8	17	52.94

 

So, he has had 17 shots so obviously someone is passing to him. I scan the Chelsea forums and all I can see is people bending over backwards to make excuses for Torres, 'No one passes to him', well clearly someone is because he has had 17 shots. 'He is just back from injury' So is Carroll, 'He has to get used to playing with a new team' Darren Bent anyone? Suarez had to get used to a new league, so did Luiz, so did  Hernandez.

 

Fernando Torres is not the player he used to be and he never will be again, I don't know why everyone is so surprised, he hasn't  played well, he hasn't played well for 18 months or more now in 2236 minutes of PL football this year he has scored 9 goals. 

 

I loved Torres, I was absolutley devastated when he left. I know what its like I continually made excuses for him, overlooked his poor play but in hindsight he is nothing but a sulky bitch who brings down the morale of the rest of the team. The difference between Liverpool's morale before and after Torres departure is unreal. I was devastated, then angry, then sad, but now I couldn't give a stuff about Torres i find his situation hilarious. We got the best out of him, sure he is going to score a goal or 2 for Chelsea, he may well score tomorrow night, but don't kid yourselves into thinking once he scores he won't be able to stop because Liverpool thought that after the Chelsea 2-0 game, he only scored 3 goals in the next 12 matches (then he moved to Chelsea making it 3 goals in 19 games)- not exactly setting the world alight. Torres was once a World class striker no doubt, now he isn't even the best striker at Chelsea. 

 

Thats not bitter, its the truth, I am happier now with 2 players who want to play for the club than one who doesn't.

RR you sound incredibly bitter and twisted I mean seriously just 'wow' at your last post. You may be Irish but you could well be an honourary scouser with that diatribe. Big Nose Thompson still thinks you're a 'big club' while you are fighting for a place in the highly prestigious Europa League and have won next to f*ck all for years and years. 

 

I watch Chelsea every week, I know our players. Torres is having to create his own chances because nobody else will do it for him. When Benayoun came on Torres high-fived him for putting him through. Something stinks with player power and egos at Chelsea. I know our players, you don't. If you want to believe Torres will become the worst striker ever because he left a team that wins nothing and means nothing outside of being pretty good 20 years ago well go ahead knock yourself out.

Since you mention Thompson, may I sing the, "sit down! Pinocchio!" song?

lol, please do. Any chance of a video to go with it? Put on your best togs and let rip.

"I am sorry for the fans. We only started to play after 20 minutes."

 

 

Typical... so he's saying the plan was to walk away with a point a FT with it being 0-0 I never noticed that either, we didnt play any of the game.
