Romey 1878 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Ha I'm guessing we were linked at one time? Very much so. We apparently sent a delegation out there to get the deal done a few times. I went so far as to say I'd eat the bricks of my house if we signed him because it was that unbelievable, but plenty believed we'd genuinely sign him.

Hafnia Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/mar/01/gruesome-image-stephen-ireland-stoke-city-tackle Seeing far too many career threatening challenges lately. Start handing out lengthy bans. If someone "does" a player from foul play they should miss as many games as the victim. That will sort it., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Phil Neville really does spout some crap. Phil NevilleBBC Match of the Day QPR 0-0 Tottenham "If Tottenham are to qualify for the Champions League then they are going to have to win all their remaining games." That would give them eighty points Phil; think they could afford to drop a few off that and still be top four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Spent two days in Britain this weekend (leave from Heathrow this morning), and it was like I never left: As in the 70s and 80s, all I read in the paper was about pitch invasions and fans throwing things.

Well done Villa! Was your fault Steve, everything was OK until you came back :shaking fist:. Pleased to see Arse win at ManU tonight. United really are poor; loved the di Maria sending off + Januzaj simulation yellow. If it wasn't for de Gea they'd be down with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Schalke gave Real Madrid a real fright there. So a team that's twelve points behind Wolfsburg in the league can go to the Bernabeu, score four and win. We put six past Wolfsburg over two legs while they just squeeze a late consolation. Real must be really grateful we're not in the Champions League, we'd destroy them . Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real must be really grateful we're not in the Champions League, we'd destroy them . Really great match. Ronaldo was the only real player who looked up for it. Di Matteo had them doing well, and they're close to Champs league qualifying too. Seems he's a decent manager after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Modric is such a good player though. His one touch play is unreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 I was thinking exactly the same about Di Matteo. Tactically he beat real. The 352 agaisnt their 433, he was pushing all out attack and quick fast counter attacks. Real was so lethargic because of the 2-0 first leg win they just felt like coasting. Bravo to him for giving it a go and beating them. Might not have won on aggregate but he's got a fan in me now. Class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnh Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Modric is such a good player though. His one touch play is unreal. That reminds me of me when I played - unreal one touch (in 90 minutes) play. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't be a good footballer with a poor/inconsistent touch. Like a golfer who can't putt, will never win a major. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) Zlatan red card, shaktar red card. Bayern will be through. But I was really rooting for psg, Chelsea playing to draw, what a joke mou is, parking the bus fully, there's been one shot the whole first half. I hope this thugs lose.

I don't understand why their isn't a rule where the captains are the only ones who can talk to the ref during the match. It's really puts too much pressure on the ref when the entire team surrounds him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnh Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Its down to the ref's. If I was refereeing I would visit both dressing rooms before the game and ask for the managers to be there. I would issue clear instructions that in the event of a query on any decision, then I would listen to the captains and explain my decision. If any player other than the captain gets involved, he will be booked. If it happens a second time he will be booked again and sent off. Can't believe this hasn't been made mandatory by the powers that be. Toffee_in_LA and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
