The 2008/2009 Football Thread

[Bobby Sands]

I don't know about any of you guys, but... am I the only one that's extremely entertained watching Man. City? They play great football

Definately. It was money well spent to see them play on Sunday while i was in Manchester. Elano is worth the ticket price alone.


I dunno about Elano leaving. He is on big money. He is surrounded by good players and in a top stadium. The fans love him as well.

Elano scored again.

Villarreal beat Barcelona 3-1. Although Bojan became the youngest goal scorer in Barca's history today.

Man Utd came back to destroy Aston Villa. Anderson apparently was amazing.

Liverpool won..controversially.

Adriano scored for Inter Milan today..his first this season. And Romao drew 4-4 with Napoli

 

[Illuminattile]

I don't know about Anderson being amazing. The Rooney-Tevez partnership was great, even if some of the finishing was suspect.

Good to see we can still crush teams without Cristiano.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Well i heard he had his best game..

AC Milan lost at home to Empoli lol wtf? Milan were woeful infront of goal. Gilardino and Inzaghi havent been upto it this season at all.

 

[2Pax]

I thought Anderson played pretty well, I wouldn't say amazing though. The Rooney-Tevez partnership is looking awesome and I can't wait for Kiev on Tuesday night.

Anyone see the Everton-Liverpool derby? Some contraversial decisions;

1. The ref pulls out a yellow for Hibbert and after what seems like some influence from Gerrard he changes it to a red, wtf?

2. Lescot should've had one if not two penalties, the second one was a joke, Carragher practically wrestled him to the floor.

3. Dirk Kuty should've gotten a straight red for that two-footed lunge in my opinion, it was like something out of a Jackie Chan film.

And Phil Nevilles save was quality

The best 11 up until now according to the media

...................................Jose Reina
Micah Richards.....Rio Ferdinand....Vedran Corluka.... Patrice Evra

Martin Petrov.....Elano Blumer.....Mathieu Flamini......Cesc Fabregas

Emmanuel Adebayor........Mwaruwari Benjani


I think that Ronaldo should've been in there instead of Flamini. I agree with the Defence totally and the two attackers as well.

 

[2Pax]

Yea all of them are having a great start to the season, except im unsure about Flamini also. I havnt seen much Arsenal football recently but from what I have seen he hasnt stood out to me. Also i'd swap Corluka for Vidic.

 

[Illuminattile]

He's done well, well enough to keep Gilberto Silva out.

Why have they Corluka centre half and Richards right back?

No, Ronaldo doesnt deserve to be there. He was suspended for a while and hasnt quite hit his form from last season yet. Maybe Sagna should be there?

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Why is Petrov there? He was being blasted by Man City fans until recently.

They just named the players, I just put them there. I dont know about the positions to be honest. lol.

And Corluka impressed me a whole lot. I thought he'd suck, but for a 21 year old stupid Bosnian kid, he's good.

(I know he plays for Croatia, but he's Bosnian. There's a few Croatians playing for Bosnia too. We are a bunch of weirdos.)

 

[Bobby Sands]

I saw Corluka play against Middlesbrough last week. He looks a good player as does the left back Garrido. City have bought extemely well.

They also have two of the best centre halves in the premiership. Midlfield is very good as well but hey are a little week up front. Im not sure about Mpenza or Bianchi.

 

[2Pax]

That Elano is quality, great signing.

Mpenza was a flop at HSV too.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Damn, Alonso and Torres are both gonna be out injured for a while. I think Benitez is feeling the pressure and rushed both players back into action too early.

Tevez's goal for Man Utd was excellent. Great move. Chelsea gave Man City some hiding didnt they? They played great stuff. Lampard was awesome. Who said that his passing was poor?

 

[Flipmo]

Benjani you fucking moron, why didn't you let Kranjcar take the damn penal...

 

[2Pax]

^He is leading goal scorer in the Premiership, I think he was confident of scoring it.

 

[Flipmo]

Redknapp didn't want him to take it. Benjani seems to struggle on the spot. The blues could have used to 2 extra points.

 

[hizzle?]

^log on msn dude..

 

[DPG iz all I C]

Decent point for Arsenal, they played great. Hopefully take the confidence into Saturdays game.
