Crunchy no offense mate but you have what normal footy fans call 'Barca fever'. Pepe had Messi in his pocket and had to go, there was no two ways about it. The ref agreed.  I'd like to see him score his 'amazing' goals against 11 players when one of them has him locked up tight, ain't gonna happen the same as if Messi came to the PL he wouldn't be scoring goals for fun we have VERY tight defences. I don't count Arsenal in this as Wenger has the same 'we're not worthy' attitude towards Barca as you have.

 

Man U haven't, and we haven't either. They're very beatable, just don't let them dictate the run of play and they don't know what the fekk to do. Their whole game revolves around getting the ball to Messi all the time. If that doesn't happen, they don't happen. Man U can beat them if they're up for it, or fail abysmally if they're not (they were terrible v Arsenal the other day).

They've quoted Ronaldo on my team's forum. He was complaining about Barcelona being cheats.

Its official... I hate Stoke more than the rags.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That Is All.

Prom, I seem to remember that Crunchy is Spanish (or his dad is or summat) In all the years I've been posting with him his attitude to Barca has been consistent.

As it happens I think that Crunchy is probably the most balanced person on the footy forum. He analyses teams without showing favour for his own teams mostly.

So there

 

I hate them more than I ever thought it was possible to hate a team - and that includes Spurs.

Stoke are scum, their fans are scum, their manager is scum and the sooner they descend back into the obscurity that their 'football' merits the better all round.

At Wembley, don't forget to give Delap a rousing chorus of 'Have you ever used your feet?'

I don't think there is a dirtier reserves side than Chelsea... just watched the first half, they can't pass and just want to kick off after every tackle. Number 7 in particular.

 

 

Don't think Givens too chuffed about playing in reserves

Really? I've watched a lot of Reserves games over the last few years and I've never noticed that about Chelsea. Never saw it either when their babies beat our babies at the Bridge in the FA Youth Cup. One of the worst behaved reserve teams I've seen are Villa but even then it tends to be handbags and mouthiness rather than out and out dirtiness. Plus the Villa babies are a skillful footballing side so shouldn't need to to behave like that - there is loads of quality in their academy

Generally the refs seem really hot on tackles etc when the kids play.

FA's QPR sanctions

 

What an utter farce! 

 

The decision on QPR has been delayed.

 

On Saturday they play Leeds at home.  How would QPR fans feel if they were playing Leeds (of all clubs) having just been docked, say 18pts putting them just 1 point above Leeds for a potential play off place?

 

I believe QPR will be allowed to parade the Championship trophy with a points deduction hanging over them.  Won't their players and supporters feel like idiots after parading the trophy only to be told they're runners up?  Or will they?  Maybe not, maybe the FA will decide on a fine, or maybe not. 

 

Meanwhile, the play offs are to go ahead as planned. Maybe the football league will wait till the final points are in and decide to dock QPR a token number points to ensure they still get automatic promotion or even remain champions.  Maybe they'll drop into the play offs but then appeal and get reinstated, screwing up the play offs.

 

Of course, a few seasons ago QPR's Colin W (then managing Sheff U) demanded that West Ham should have got a points deduction for Tévez, which would have relegated West Ham instead of Sheffield United.

 

Norwich have their open top bus parade next Tuesday not knowing whether to put "Championship Champions" or "Promotion" on the side of their bus!

 

Farcical

Not tonight, they just booted the ball up field. Even off the ball they were kicking our players

If the Braga v Benfica result stays the same Braga are through to the final of the Europa league.

Ooh well done Braga - all Portuguese final!

Actually, just realised that it's probably the first time you've played them as they've rejigged the Reserve League so the southern teams now play the northern teams once in a season. We've always had Chelsea and the midlands teams in our Reserve League but now we play you, Liverpool, ManYou etc too

The guy who does the interviews for our OS is crap Just been watching the Balotelli and Vieira interview.

 

 

Interviewer: "What about you Mario, Hows the Camp feeling ?"
Mario (Looks at Pat concerned): "Who's Camp ?"

We appear to be swapping Gary Cahill for five different players from multiple teams this summer...

I've just seen Gary Cahill shopping in Tesco

While yer on....... hands off Rhys Williams!

Last game tomorrow! As tradition dictates we will be playing some of the youngsters. No doubt we'll be selling them all........ Again.

...... And good luck to Darlo!

Either Barnet or Lincoln getting dumped out of the League today.

Barnet is actually my local team but I only go there to watch the Arsenal babies

I suppose I should cheer them on though so C'mon Barnet

Not a game to look forward to today, Everton is our bogey team... we make them look like Barcelona when we play them.

We remember certain people at Barnet who paid the Northwich team to injure our players. They were bent as very bent things in those days. Meanwhile a perfect end to the season! I took the 'Boro to win, win/win, won 2-0 in the second half, lita to score first in the second half. Apparently when We get back to the pub the drinks are on me!!

So many chances....  we will soon pay for it.

A good season for all three clubs that came up from Div 1 last season with Millwall the lowest placed at 9th...far higher than we could realistically have hoped for.

Sigh.

 

 

 

 

And here we go again...

2-1 to Everton.

 

 

 

Bottled it.

just wanted to say to hootie if she's reading...or if anyone is in contact with her can they pass onto her from me.....congratulations on promotion and winning the championship..i look forward to the 6 easy points next season.......

apparently howard..'i love man utd' webb is the ref for the utd/chelsea game tomorrow........fergie must of called in a few favours....

The drinks were on me. We all watched Everton and City on the big screen!

Something gone on at the end... looks like Mancini being a sore loser.


His own fault for bringing in sh*te players.


Balotelli couldn't be arsed chasing the ball and Vieira was dire the whole game.

Yes! I apologise. I misled people into thinking that "one of us!" was exclusively a 'Boro song. I now understand that United have, "Howard Webb! He's one of us!"

Well it looks like the season is going to go out with a whimper for us. I've had it in my head for a while that if we didn't make it to the 50 point mark that it would go down as a bit of wasted potential, even though there's been a massive improvement overall.

It would be nice to get full value for money for my season ticket though

Gomes I actually feel sorry for him... bizarre game.

We're gonna get stuffed next week...

I dunno Meaty..,I don't think your defence is as lightweight as Arsenals. Pretty football is all very well but no good with no steel in your side.

We struggle with set-pieces though... Stoke seem pretty dangerous when it comes to them and we crack under the slightest bit of pressure.

Blimey, Stoke of all people doing their best to guarantee us CL football next season 

Arsenal seem to play like they expect 'lesser' teams to roll over for them...take it to them like Stoke are doing and they can't cope. They don't seem to like the physical game and would probably be more suited to Strictly Come Dancing.

The same could be said of Barcelona Croc. If Man U take the game to them in the CL final they have every chance of beating them even if the inevitable happens and it ends up 10 Man U players v Barca's 12 (including the ref).

Pennant kick-starts a riot and only gets a yellow... should of sent him off.
