It means nothing mate. Nothing. Last year we won the double, this year we're struggling to qualify for a CL place. All this history bollocks is for old people who want to sit round the fire with a cup of Bovril reminiscing about the past.

Football is all about past achievements, isn't it?  

I know this has probably been posted and seen 1000 times... but it never gets old



The ronaldo dive at 3:00 is always the best

Just read about Andy Carroll - what a horrible little man he is.
NOT a good role model and now he is rewarded for his behaviour by getting a payrise.

Only in this country....

He's getting rewarded for being a bloody good player...that is, after all, what he is paid for.

He is a thug.
Call me old fashioned but why does a 20 year old man need £80k a week?

No justification . Ever.

Why? Cos he's had a few training ground bust ups? They happen all the time. As for the nightclub fights, thousands of blokes get into them. It's meaningless most of the time.

No because he has been charged with assault, He has a police caution after assaulting a woman, of smashing a glass in a man's face and was accused of assaulting a girlfriend. There were also reports of him smashing a fellow players jaw.

So whilst these may not appear much, they say a lot about him and the sort of person he is.
So he is fantastic at football - well yippee do.
I know its the way of the world but it doesn't make it right.

Well given that this is a football thread ..yes yippee do. Sad face!

I think we have TP be careful izzy. He wasn't convicted at all. It was laughingly called an accident. As for assaulting a fellow player, you'll have to ask Messrs. Shearer and Gillespie their views. Let us not fall into the trap of believing that the players of our youth were law abiding, non violent individuals who avoided sexual encounters with multiple partners. It was all kept quiet, however nowadays they get so much cash that they become fair game.

Hoping for a win tonight but there seems so little interest the pub staff aren't sure if they are running a bus yet.

The Chelsea fans in the store on SSN

I'm not a supporter of a Premier League side but I really, really hope that Arsenal win the title and the Champions League

Hello, Veggie!

Hello honorary Gooner!

is it true dalglish won't allow his players to have long hair??...if so will carroll be like samson?!!.......can't remember where i heard this but apparently he made glenn johnson cut his hair........haven't seen a recent pic of him so don't know if it's true..

Diouf to the Rangers.

Old Firm on Sunday  

Cast iron Red.

I am speaking to you from the riverside using a modern form of electronic telegraphy. I've just put eight poond on the Boro win/win and two poond on Boyd to score first. Wish us luck!

Good luck Joe 

Phil Thompson... that was bloody hilarious

"Chelsea are small time"

"Torres aint that great"


Sour grapes?

Sit down pinocchio! As we used to sing from This very stand ! Thanks sprout!

Ooh, Joe 

(((Sit down pinocchio! As we used to sing from This very stand ! ))


also sung by us at the not often vocal WHL....


hope it's a good game Joe,

So far so good. If it stays like this I've won thirty of your London sovs!

Holy sh*t Anelka.... how did he miss that?

The bullshit rumours that go around are hilarious, Glen Johnson posted on this Twitter hre was shaving his hair because the corn rows were too much work.

Sure Kyrgiakos has long hair.

I'd like to dedicate an absolutely amazing away performance by Chelsea (without Torres) to that bitter, twisted nasty scouse git Phil Thompson. I hope the ungracious sanctimonious oxygen thief watched every single minute of it and we thrash his one-player history-bleating has-been outfit 10-0 on Sunday.

When are England playing again ffs? I can follow England. England v's another country. Simples.

BTW, I have absolutely no idea what any of you are talking about but I agree with all of you.

Ok that is a quality rant Prom!
Well I'm glad that we won. especially after one of the worst combined officials performance I can remember seeing. Lee Mason is a knob.
Worried about Brentford though. Beaten 4-1 by the Daggers tonight, they seem to be in freefall at the mo. Hope Andy Scott keeps his job as he is a good young manager
Well done Joe - good on yer

England have a friendly coming against Denmark soon - Feb 9th I think Karma
Personally I hate the internationals as we always seem to get one of our players injured in them and then out for ages.

great result for us...........

well done to the cheerfuls too.....still second in league 1 and not cracking over losing howe as manager...

finding all the ashley/pardew/carroll comments interesting.........carroll saying he was forced out and didn't want to go.......ashley/pardew claiming he wanted a new contract or he was off..........the crazy world of football!!

Yeah, it's wierd innit Spongey 

Yaaaay! Nice one, ta

It's the Euro qualifiers this year isn't it? Around September time if I remember rightly?

I will let you all carry on discussing the other stuff I know nothing about. I'm away to ma bed, nite! x

very strange sprout..........saw some stuff on the net which is alleged is a text convo carroll had with some media bloke or something...and carroll is texting saying 'you can publish this so they know i don't want to go'.......

course it could all be a load of crap.......

Seen that posted elsewhere Heatseek


In all seriousness though, Liverpool were very reliant on Torres... the only strikers they had available were Torres and N'Gog really so Liverpool couldn't afford to allow him time to rest. He was pushed to play week in week out even if he had just come back from injury. He's now at a club where they have other options to choose from (Drogba & Anelka) so they don't have to play him every week... they can afford to take that risk. I think the injury problems will now be put behind him, theres alot less pressure on him now anyway. Soon see...

Yeah Spongey, they reported this on the North East news. It'll all come out in the wash I guess, but I still don't trust Ash as far as I could fling im.......and that ain't far 

I forget to point out Phil Thompson has a bloody HUGE nose, the ugly sub-human turdbag.
