English Football

[Voodoodoll]

I'm hoping there's some people into English football especially with the end of the season being so exciting this year.

If so:
what team do you support?
why?
who's going to win the Premiership (bonus points if you say the toon )?

My team's Newcastle because I'm a geordie, even though I'm exiled at uni

The last few games of the season should be a good laugh. My team have an outside shot (we have to play Man U and Arsenal have play Man U too), but we're looking at more Champion's League adventures.

I think Man U may do it though

[rupert pupkin]

HMM i hope man united take the title, arsenal are so smugg and i guess because alec ferguson is a fellow scot i back them more.
I have a soft spot for everton but im not sure why lol

i follow scottish football and am a supporter of dundee....who look like they might be playin european football next season yahooooo

it is difficult to escape the premiership though.

David Beckham has got a luscious pair of pins.




Somehow, I don't see myself "frequenting" this forum.

[arto_j]

I'm a fan of Chelsea myself.

Why? Not a clue, just have been as long as I can recall.

I sort of hope Arsenal will win it this year, I'm actually cheering for Newcastle to take it home, but it looks a bit unlikely. Actually, anyone but United winning it would be fine by me.

Words of wisdom... ANYONE but United! (or Liverpool)

I'm an Arsenal fan... why? Because when they lost the Uefa Cup final, in '94 I think it was, I felt sorry for them and started supporting them. Anyone remember that game? It was Arsenal- Real Saragoza or something, and they were 1-1, into extra time and at the last minute of extra time this guy shot from about 50 metres away and Seaman thought it was going out but it went it and they lost...

I think we might win the Premiership again this year, that is unless we play like we played in the last matches... I may be biased but I reckon we're the best team out there, it's just that we can't get the ball in the bloody net as much as we'd like.

Well I support Queen's Park (not QPR!). English teams that I like are Luton Town and Man U (Yes, I'm a glory-hunting cunt )

why?

I support Queen's Park as they are my local team, and I do actually go to the games (unlike most old firm badgers around here). I went to see Luton when they were playing up here when I was just a young chimp, feck knows why but my dad bought me their shirt and since then I've always taken an interest in them.

who's going to win the Premiership (bonus points if you say the toon )?

Man United will win it, Arsenal are a bunch of bottle merchants and nobody else is good enough.

[starvin marvin]

hey all !! the time i follow is the might Middlesbrough F.C

[paul calf]

i follow the rangers myself but i hope newcastle win the premiership but i think arsenal will just hold on,a lot will depend on the next 3 games if newcastle beat man ure and they draw with arsenal you are right in it,but lose that one and its on the way to highbury again.

LMFAO.

When got nothing interesting to say then lets rate the lads legs.

Your my sort of girl BCV.

BTW Ally McCoist and Duncan Ferguson, wouldn't you just love to?

[AnnoyingQuestionAsker]

I am a huge Rangers fan, but haven't been able to keep track this year being in Law School and not having Fox Sports World.

How is the season going thus far?

I've got my fingers crossed for the Man U game

[Bullet Tooth Tony]

I'm a Tottenham fan...God help me.

I support them because I was born in North London so there you go. My all time favourite players are Glenn Hoddle, Paul Gascoinge, David Ginola and Gary Mabbutt.

I think Man Utd are gonna sneak it. Just a feeling I have.

[Jyrka]

My home team is FC Flora so I support them and sometimes even go to the games. We won the league last season and will do it again.

As for the premiership I think Arsenal will probably win but I'd like Newcastle to...

[quoth_the_raven]

I am a Wolves fan. its all good

but so long as arsenal dont win the title i will be happy. ideally it would be newcastle id like to see win (sorry about the 3-2 guys!!!!) but if man utd can oust arsenal that will be (just about) bearable.

[mattjk_17]

I'm a Villa fan, still the top team in the Midlands regardless of what Birmingham fans may tell you...

I think Arsenal will just manage to clinch the Premiership this season, it'll be close but Arsene's men will do it... and they're coming to Villa Park on Saturday!!

[quoth_the_raven]

your a villa fan?

my condolences and my greatest sympathies.

[Indiana Sev]

Seeing as English Football can be discussed in the "Sticky" Premiership thread, I no longer see the use of this one continuing.

So, get up there and discuss!

[Indiana Sev]

A friendly schmoe has informed me that it isn't in fact the same thing (don't I feel silly), so, go on and discuss English football here until I get my head out of my ass.

P.S. Thanks QTR

[James Logan]

I'm rooting for Arsenal and so I'm glad they're doing good this year. If they kick Man Utd butt, then I'm happy -- I mean, Beck is one of the top five players in the world today, Barthez is one of the three best goalies around too, and Giggs and Van Nistelroy sure know how to kick ball, but I hate, HATE Alex Ferguson. And just because of that big tight asshole, every week I pray for Manchester to get their butt kicked. And luckily, this season it's happening more often than usual.

[Kastman]

GO MAN UNITED!!!!



Arsenal suck, we let you win.

Plus Beckham's totally one-footed, he can't do shite with the other...He's like Roberto Carlos in that way, so probably would fit right in to the Real group

Zidane, yes. Ronaldo, yes. Thierry Henry, yes. Roberto Carlos, yes. Pires, Van Nistelroy, Schevchenko, Raul, eventually. But the others? C'mon. Vieira is a fantastic player, yes, probably one of the twenty best players around right now, but not as good as Beck. Roy Keane...you're overrating him. Rivaldo, well, he sure can kick ball, but he's a fuckface, and fuckfaces are disqualified from my top five. Nedved, Ballack and Seedorf are very good players too, but not the best of the best. As for Davids, sure, he's good...but he's got a serious temper and regularity problem.

Beckham's a fantastic player. He can pass the ball, shoot it, lead the game, and of course he's a one-in-a-kind free kick kicker. But the thing that makes him one of the five best around for me is that he can make his team better by just being on the field, and that's something.

patrick viera and roy keane are the two best central midfeilders in the world imo,look at todays game utd against liverpool,becham on the bench not missed one bit,but when keane was missing at the start of the season they were piss weak in midfeild,i hate man utd but can see the difference in them when keane plays,and i can see if becham went he would not be missed.
i forgot to put figo on my list as well.

[James Logan]

Figo's good, but he's been slower ever since those knee and leg injuries of his. Ain't the same player anymore.

Patrick Kluivert is also a top-notch player. Same for Dennis Bergkamp who, in my opinion, has gotta be the best damn player in the world NOT to start games...

yeah definatly agree about figo although he has been getting back to some of his earlier form,forgot about kluivert myself,as for bergkamp what a player he is,i rated him as the best all round forward in the world 3 years ago,and he is still great now.

[Corpse Candle]

Well Lierpool lost becuase of well partly at least of a shite ref I don't care if you dissagree with me because you have that right even if you should shut up...(licking wounds ).

Paul Calf as usual English players are brow beaten we don't have the self-esteem to rate our players highly enough.
I watch a lot of Brazilian,Spanish,French,Argintinian,Portuguse,Ame rican,
Dutch,RussianJapanese,Scottish,Mexican,German and some scandinavian and Austrialian football to be well aware that there are some red hot players out there.
However despite the that English football at the moment contians some of the most deadlist goal mercgants industrious defenders and Dazzleing midfielders to give anyone a run for thier money.

Beckham(yes I rate him)
Owen
Rooney(yes he is part of a bigger picture)
Campbell
Rio ferdinad
Gerrad
Murphey
Scholes
McManamen(He maybe left out of in the cold but he still can work magic)
Dyer
Vassel
Woodgate
Terry
Mills
Robinson
Kirland(Injured but just you wait and see)


For the future:
Ameobi
Lampard
Jenas
Mellor(Kepp a close eye on this one)
De foe
Joe Cole
Konchesky
Johnson
Jeffers
Barry
Bramble
Dawson
Welsh
Chopra

Now I am ready for the frowning disbelief but that's the beauty of disscusion....or a blazing row

lol its ok. now u know theres something beyond the premiership


bleh another 0-0 draw for wolves. i really can not see us getting promoted now. someone give me a shoulder to cry into, please......

[mattjk_17]

I would let you cry on my shoulder QTR, but your earlier comments offended me

I see Wolves getting to the playoffs, maybe even winning promotion through that route (Why not, Birmingham did it last season ), if they can get up into the Premiership, I can only hope they don't do an Albion and get sent back down.

i am glad you have confidence. however, wolves and the playoffs just do not work well. look at how norwich fucked us last season. mind you, look at how we fucked ourselves last season lol! but i think, if we can go up, there will be enough money chucked at the team to give us a chance of staying up. maybe. even like bottom end of mid-table would be good. and hell, we did do newcastle 3-2 (voodoodoll is gonna kill me for reminding her of that )

[mattjk_17]

Ha, I'd run before she catches ya mate! If you were to get promoted, I'm sure you'd do a better job than Blues and Albion have done this season (I ain't sure if you'd do better than Villa though )

we shall see my young friend. we have to get promoted first

cool avatar btw


and voodoodoll is a lovely lass, and wouldnt dream of hurting me. besides, i want her team to win the premiership if possible. failing that, i want to see man utd. anyone so long as its not arsenal...that would just be too depressing.

[mattjk_17]

Ta for the mentioning of the avatar, made it myself from an episode I downloaded

It'd be good to see Newcastle win the Prem, if they don't I'd rather see Arsenal (who we held today, 1-1 ) than Man United. Mind you, their game against Liverpool earlier... !

i agree with you pal there are some superb players in the premeirship i just think becham is very overrated ,i think you have some of the best defenders in the world in ferdinand ,woodgate and campell along with ashley cole,and some great young forwards in jeffers,owen,rooney,and vassel but i think the midfeild is week gerrard is limited,scoles inconsistant and becham a one trick pony,and in robinson and kirkland you have 2 great young keepers,but that was never the discussion,the discussion was whether becham was in the top 5 players in the world and i think not.

[quoth_the_raven]

you cant call Beckham a one trick pony!!!! thats illegal!

its also very true.

[paul calf]

well its official after watching real madrid give man ure a football lesson there is no way becham is in the top players in the world,he would'nt get into that side in fact only van nistelrooy of man ure would have any chance of playing for real.
tha 5 superstars of madrid are a class above becham he looked really ordinary out there and contributed nothing to the game.

I agree. The only Real "superstar" I wasn't impressed with was Ronaldo. Figo was immense (of course he meant it......)

The passing of the Real Madrid side was spectacular, they'd waltz the EPL I reckon. They were really ripping the piss for a while.

United's defence was abso-tively, posi-lutely, shocking. How much space can you give players of this quality? Not a whole helluva lot. The space Raul had (the whole bloody tele to himself) for the second goal was ridiculous. Gary Neville and Rio Ferdinand were crap, IMO, ball-watching all the time. John O'Shea should start for United, Brown's crap too.

Saying that, I don't want to take anything away from Real, they deserved their three goals - they were a joy to watch for the most part.

Speaking of crazy Frenchmen, he was lucky to get away with the kickout against Robbie C, and really lucky to get away with the handball outside the area.

I suppose, at 3-1, it's not over yet. This 4-5-1 formation is a waste of time, should've started with 2 strikers tonight, and I'm sure he'll play two up front at Old Trafford - hopefully Ole Gunnar Solksjaer and RVN. Will Verón be back? United could've done with him tonight........

[quoth_the_raven]

wolves 1-grimsby 0

the promotion hopes are still alive.

COME ON THE BOYS!

[deanus]
