Roiling football blather

hope no one minds, i deleted the poll because it took up so much space. no affront to democracy intended.

Who could possibly mind after tonight's Neville-baiting hilarities?

very good match last night

 

[hucks]

Villa - Blackburn is quite exciting, too. 1-2 after half an hour

!

jesus that was good fun! ten goals, great stuff. i missed at least two just from standing up to make a cup of tea.

fine work mr nomos, good idea (you fascist )

what i will say about Gold/Sullivan and Brady going to the Boleyn is they've always struck me as good business people (and have to be an improvement upon some dead in the water bankers).
that said my Birmingham mate can't stand them, as soon as C Yeung came in at St Andrews he slashed ticket prices. of course he's independently wealthy.

Sheffield Wednesday! and United's debt! (haha.)

as a palate cleanser for the week's League Cup action and some intriguing results in the Prem last night let's have a look at AFC 3:1 Alty. as you will see, the ref bottled it in not sending the home keeper off shortly before half time

Didn't see this - I was too busy watching a one-legged man clambering back up off the ground - but with any luck Villa will now be all goaled out for Saturday.

hmm yeah that was a pretty rash challenge - i guess the covering defenders meant no red tho. he could've gone just for the foul anyway tbh (seen em given etc).

your goal was a scorcher! as was our first.. sorry i missed the game now.

Fucking hell - 2 wins in 4 days for Wednesday. Sigh - they'll probably show title-winning form for the next three months, YET IT WILL ALL BE FUCKING POINTLESS AGAIN AFTER SPENDING THE FIRST FOUR MONTHS OF THE SEASON BEING THE WORST TEAM IN THE WHOLE FUCKING UNIVERSE.

Sigh. How many more times must this happen?

 

[don_quixote]

you'd best lose to us.

good to see after the pontification about premiership finances last week sullivan is keen to pay £5.2m a year to someone who could well be a complete flop.

 

[baboon2004]

Forest, right? The thing is, we'll probably string together 12 wins in a row before losing 5-0 at home to Scunthorpe.

Say what you really think, Carlos

an excuse to post the funniest football video ever:



IT'S BURNING DAVID!!!

They can come back. Sol Campbell did.

Yep.
That's gone well so far hasn't it

 

[mixed_biscuits]

Zidane and Hagi playing together tonight - should be good.

 

[don_quixote]

the more this season goes on the more i pinch myself. a month ago we were 10 points behind newcastle, now we're level on points with them (albeit they have two games in hand on us). two months ago we were 9th and 8 points behind west brom. now we're 2nd and going 6 points in front of them.

we are destroying teams at home now. qpr have looked stupid tonight.

 

[baboon2004]

Yep.

You'll see when the World Cup squad is announced...
