The English Football Thread

peterbaby7 · 04-18-2009, 11:29 PM

My Prediction
Man Utd Vs Arsenal
1st Leg : 1 - 0
2nd Leg : 2 - 2

Barcelona Vs Chelsea
1st Leg : 1 - 1
2nd Leg : 2 - 2

United will meet barcelona in final, i hope it will ended through penalty shoutout. LOL

I can't believe this threads still alive. I thought they cancelled NFL Europe?

That would've worked if the thread wasn't actually called The English football thread.

Americans and reading...*shakes head*

I've only just started following the footy again in the last week for the first time since i was a kid, I even had to pick which team I support (it used to be Everton, because I had all their stickers for the 'Premier League '94' album lol)...
I went with QPR for the personal connection (my mum grew up around there and grandad took her to many a match at Loftus road) - currently in the Championship with buckets of greasy F1 money and no idea what to do with it, from what i've read the boardroom politics are a joke and they can't settle on a manager.
To be honest if I could support a smaller team I would, by my own standards I qualify for Oxford United

... Could be worse though, I could be behind my local Norwich *shudder*

Anyway we lost to Wolves yesterday and definitely won't be making the play-offs... Is there anybody else on here following league football?
I guess if I was going to plumb for any Premier League team it would be Man City, the top four can f*ck off

I'll try not to chip in too often, rant about the comparative sh*tiness of the modern game and make a fool of myself

pfft. You live in Manchester so it's excusable but don't things get really, really boring supporting Man U? They are the antithesis of homegrown football, their merchandise the soulless Cola-brand of the game recognised by all... it's depressing. How are Stoke doing these days?

Bulldog · 04-19-2009, 01:00 PM

Stoke are doing surprisingly well. Of all the teams I would've bet on going down when the season started, they were one of them. Now we've got a scenario where Newcastle and Middlesborough could very easily go down themselves. It's really not been a good year for Tyne-Tees football.

Are you joking?
On the contrary, there's seldom a dull moment.
It's the last thing supporting United is. You only have to look at the agony they put their fans through over the years to realise that.

Now I know you're joking!
Ryan Giggs, Wes Brown, John O'shea, Gary Neville, Paul Scholes, Danny Welbeck, Darren Fletcher, Darren Gibson, Richard Eckersley, Jonny Evans etc etc.

Molecules · 04-19-2009, 02:12 PM

yes... joking... ha! gotcha!

i thought Giggsy was Welsh?

edit: my mistake, wiki cleared that up. bloody hell he's still going...
