Hmmm tiny little geeky boy Michael Carrick might have a freakishly small wang...

So we now have Stretford Red Sox (Man U) and the Aston Claret and Blue Jays (Villa). Who else is waiting for the Tyne Zeebra Crossings and the Beatletown Blues?

I reckon its Huth.

And I also see Carrick was dropped to the bench for the game against Arsenal. He didn't miss one game for Spurs under Jol when he was fit yet he's already being demoted to the bench for United.

He shoulda saw that comin.

yeah he got dropped for john O'Shea, so there was no real winners there, except for Arsene Wenger

[Captain Stu]

"dropped for john O'Shea

Surely the words that spell doom for any professional footballers career. :D

Carrick deserves what he gets, if he'd stayed at Spurs he'd be playing week in, week out... at United, he's just another rotatee.

Very true. I was happy to see Carrick on the bench. He's a better player than John O'Shea, and I'd much rather we play against him any day of the week (even though he's in one of my dream teams. Ho hum...)

[EvilElvis]

I can't see it being Ashley Cole... he's porking Cheryl Tweedy and keeping her daft little racist mind rather happy and she is OBVIOUSLY the type of girl who has a bucket fanny and so he must be pretty girthy and endowed or it'd be like throwing a hot dog down a hallway. :D


Well, if you look at it this way - Allegedely gay black footballer with small wang marry's a racist

Should end the Gay rumour and proves that Cheryl ain't racist...

Given injury likened to car crash


Newcastle manager Glenn Roeder says the surgeon who operated on Shay Given has likened the goalkeeper's injury to one familiar with a car crash.
Given sustained a one-centimetre tear in his bowel when he slid in for a ball with West Ham's Marlon Harewood.

"The surgeon said he has never seen an injury like this through football," said Roeder.

"He has seen it happen in car crashes where there has been impact - I suppose that is what has caused it this time."

Newcastle won the game 2-0 at Upton Park, but Given is expected to be out for at least six weeks after the initial diagnosis.

He was rushed to hospital after suffering severe abdominal pains but Roeder cleared Harewood of any blame.

"Shay would be the first to admit when he sees the pictures that Marlon Harewood thought he had an opportunity to get to the ball," added Roeder.

"I suppose if it was Shola (Ameobi), we would have expected Shola to try to get to the ball if his team was losing 2-0. Shay being Shay, as brave as he is, was not going to turn away and not go for the ball.

"He went for the ball, both of them were trying to get the ball fairly and unfortunately, Shay came off worst."

Steve Harper will step in as first-team keeper and Roeder insists he will not rush Given back.

"It is a question now of waiting for Shay to get fit again," he said.

"But this is all about Shay, this is not about us rushing him back or anything like that.

"He will be given all the time he needs and all the help he needs by the club to make a full recovery, which he will do - and in the meantime, we are lucky to have Steve Harper."

[Captain Stu]

Oh my god, that program was one of the best investigative programs I've ever seen!! The FA have to take action now, no longer can they sweep it under the rug and claim that football is squeaky clean - we've all been clearly shown just how murky and scummy the game is.

That Knut guy is a fucking legend... but he's gonna have to keep a low profile for a long, long time or else he could be in serious trouble.

That agent from Newcastle was the worst of the bunch, what an absolute abortion of a human being. :mad:

Bolton are fucked. Simple as that, Sam Allardyce being named by three seperate agents shows that he MUST have done something in the past but the lack of evidence means he probably couldn't have any action taken against him directly. His reputation, however, is shot to shit. Nobody's gonna want to touch him with a 60ft barge pole.

Phil Gartside can fuck right off, that cunt is on the FA panel which investigates corruption in football and he's sitting in tapping-up meetings and then complaining about agents to the papers? You're fucked too mate.

Craig Allardyce is a scummer, no wonder he quit as an agent - he knew this shit was gonna blow him out of the water in spectacular style.

Word on the street is that Chelsea are going to incure a points deduction because of Frank Arnesen but it won't be as part of the Ashley Cole suspended sentence that they got. Dunno why but apparently it won't. I find it ironic that he, after being tapped up from Spurs, is videotaped blatantly trying to tap someone up.

My heart sank when I heard Liverpool mentioned, I hope to jehovah that meeting went on behind the backs of, and without the knowledge of, Moores, Parry, Benitez and Steve Heighway (director of the youth academy) and, if we have any sense at all, the two guys in the video will be sacked so fast that their arses don't touch the ground and the club should co-operate fully with the impending investigation.

Me and Dan were texting each other during the whole program and he reckons the manager who "got scared" and backed out was Wenger because of the use of the Frenchness. Hmmmmmmmm.

... and all the people who claimed they were lying to gain information and stuff. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Is that the best you could come up with? You get caught with your trousers well and truly round your ankles... you could have at least claimed you yourself were a spy for a BBC documentary about corruption into football. :D

One story really made me ill this morning - hearing that at West Ham the other day, Glenn Roeder was treated to chants of "tumour boy" and taunts of "why didn't you die three years ago?" from the West Ham fans. That sort of filth is absolutely abhorrent.

Right. This isn't directly influencing the outcome of games - not even the same thing.

This is going to go on for a long time. Apparently the report on the investigation into Mike Newell's claims is due on monday. I'm well surprised about big Sam. He's the last person I'd have attached to this. I actually feel really, really sad about it.

If that manager was Wenger, then thank fuck. Stupid enough to even think about it in the first place, but I'm just glad he had enough sense not to do it if it was him. We don't need this shit.

I was made up when Mike Newell pointed out that Collymore cunt.

Allardyce has officially denied all claims.

Also:

- Boro are fuming over the way that youngster was offered around.
- The FA confirm they will launch an "exhaustive" investigation into the claims.
- Arsenal now sit in a net total of £262M of debt.
- UEFA are in talks with European sports ministers over a possible cap on transfer fees and wages - apparently a clubs allowed spending would be directly related to their income.
- Blackwell's been sacked by Leeeeeeeeeds.

Benitez is apparently gonna start Gerrard wide left again tonight. :( I like his reasoning whereby Stevie is given a Ronaldinho/Zidane like role in order to dictate the tempo of the game... but why not leave him on the right side? On the left, he has to cut back all the time onto his right foot to get the best possible service into the box.

As much as I like Sissoko... his discipline is cause for concern. He got 11 yellows and one red last season and has already been booked 3 times in 4 matches this season. Anyone can see that's cause for concern. He's deffo a player worth having but his temper makes him a liability at times and he is no way better than either Gerrard or the Xabster and, thus, shouldn't be a guarenteed starter.

The middle of our midfield is Gerrard and Alonso, end of. SORT IT OUT!!! :mad:

[Two-Bob Peeters]

Re: Gerrard, it wouldn't be so bad if he was Wide Right, he seems like he can do that no problem. but i just can't understand wide left.... especially considering you have Gonzales, Riise, Aurelio, Zenden and Kewell (when fit) who can play there

Exactly, this new role for England has worked wonders and he's finally hitting the form he should be... he could do the same for us no doubt if he was on the right pissing foot.

People need to see Gonzalez playing, the guys a fucking speed demon.

That's the general buzz going about town.

He'll have to take a salary cut from what he was on at Charlton, but he seems like the type to relish the challenge. Especially given that he wouldn't have to worry about the debt since it's next to gone.

Yeah man. Search the thread for a story about it. It should be about 10-20 pages back and i've put the title in Size 7.

We're down to about £15million in the red, and by the end of the season the board predict it will be at £3-5million. Whilst i don't know the ins and outs of it all, i put most of it down to Ken Bates and his famous negotiatory skills. I reckon ALOT of interest has been wiped off the bill.

The type that get replaced monthly? And the fish that Ridsdale got replaced monthly in his office on the company accounts? No, no more of them. Thank fuck.

Woah... Woodgate is Boro captain?! :eek:
Indeed so, and the first loan signing to be made captain in Premiership Football history, i believe.

I'm all for the idea of a salary cap and transfer cap, but the only way to suppress the money is to put a numerical limit on it, rather than a percentage as it (percentage) immediately benefits the richer clubs. It is of course, illegal under Brussels/Strasbourgs Employmen and Human Rights courts (shockshockhorror) but makes sense as a means of keeping finances under control and limiting the money in the sport. At least more clubs (if not all) would turn a healthy profit which could pay the shareholders and be open for investment in facilites.

Personally, i think i percentage cap only keeps wages down by a matter of minimums, and makes the gap between richer and smaller clubs even bigger. Seriously, what type of wages could Sheffield United, Bolton and Wigan afford as a percentage compared to Chelsea and Manchester United?

EDIT - Mike Newell has emerged as the front runner for the Leeds job.

Good strike, but the goalie slipping made it.


It was his first goal since he scored against Luton in january - from inside his own half!

[EvilElvis]

Mike Newell has emerged as the front runner for the Leeds job.



Just been on the radio - Alex McLeish is on the shortlist for Leeds manager's job.

[Captain Stu]

I am very pleased that we dicked on Newcastle last night, very pleased indeed. :)

Kuyt looked outstanding, Bellamy caused lots of problems, Garcia (shock horror) had a brilliant game and Agger... as usual... was a rock at the back. That kid is fucking amazing, even more so when you consider that he's only 21. Alonso was the star man last night, every single pass of his was inch perfect and the one he slid through for the first goal was an utter gem.

Newcastle looked really poor, Parker went downhill, Emre was non-existant and Martins looks like a complete and utter waste of money. Ameobi tried his best but he shouldn't be the one chasing every single punted ball, the poor lad needs hip surgery.

[Two-Bob Peeters]

Great goal and everything, but if Harper didn't slip he'd have caught that easily.

still it was a poor performance by newcastle, even with the blatant penalties.

Liverpool could have scored 5 or 6 if the finishing was better

[Captain Stu]

Aye, could easily have finished 6-0... Kuyt should have had one or two more, Garcia could've had a couple too and Belly should've scored.

[Captain Stu]

I'm normally in favour of Scott Parker playing for England but, based on his performance last night, he'd be well out of his depth. He was so piss-poor and a fortunate cunt to not get caught for that blatantly deliberate handball... and to go down holding his face to escape it was doubley cuntish.

Same for Babyaro, we should easily have had a penalty when he smacked Kuyt (I think it was) right in the face.

[Zippy Ate My Drumkit]

You can all fuck off.

[Captain Stu]

Hahahaha, Roeder is complaining that Newcastle never got a penalty last night. :D

Fuck off lad, we should have had at least one - most likely two - so shut it.

[rob3000]

Newcastle didn't deserve anything from last night, Liverpool completely dominated.

[Bexster]

yeah i agree, it was a good strike to get it on target. but it would have been an easy save if he didn't slip. Drogba is still GotM for me
As much as I hate to admit it... :rolleyes:

Morientes happy to be out of English football

Spanish striker Fernando Morientes says he is happy to have escaped the rough and tumble of the English Premier League after returning to Spain and joining Valencia.

The 30-year-old former Liverpool striker has scored two goals in two league games for his new club and bagged a hat-trick in the Champions League against Olympiakos Piraeus a week ago.

"I wanted to return to what I knew and play the kind of football in which I felt more comfortable," Morientes told sports daily Sport on Thursday.

The former Real Madrid striker failed to make his mark with Liverpool and only managed 12 goals in 61 appearances.

After less than a year and a half with the Merseysiders he joined Valencia in July for a reported fee of six million euros (4million pounds).

"I didn't like the physical nature of the game in England or the referees who let more things go, and who blow for fewer fouls than they do here," Morientes added.

"A striker isn't protected from rival defences there, and they gave me a really hard time."

Morientes is expected to lead the line for Valencia on Sunday when they visit champions Barcelona in the Primera Liga. Both sides have 100 percent records.

Fuck off, pussy, just admit you're too old, too slow and too half-arsed to make it in the best league in the world. :mad:

[Bexster]

Wuss.

[Two-Bob Peeters]

what a mug. I don't even think english football is even that physical... granted it's more physical than the rest of the pansies in europe. but it's nothing that a 'world class' striker shouldn't be able to take care of

[Captain Stu]

Innit, if he was quick enough then he'd just skip past the shoulders and elbows and carry on with the game... but he's too much of a fucking donkey.

[sunnydalehighdropout]

Martins looks like a complete and utter waste of money.
No shit...

[Two-Bob Peeters]

No shit...

It was all about Klose and 'Kought'

Martins as third choice

[sunnydalehighdropout]

It was all about Klose and 'Kought'

I'd have preferred 28 year old Klose to 28 year old Martins...

[Two-Bob Peeters]

I'd have preferred 28 year old Klose to 28 year old Martins...

especially considering Klose only came into the game at age 23

[sunnydalehighdropout]

And has EU eligability. Or does Martins claim Frenchness too?

[Zippy Ate My Drumkit]

You can all fuck off.

[Ian Mc]

I only watched the highlights, but we were shit last night...I only remember us being in Liverpool's half twice...yes we should have had a penatly, it was almost a given that...but even then we wouldn't have deserved a goal (I don't even know who would take them now too).

I feel sorry for Steve Harper, he's such a good guy and a great keeper but because of Given's form and the reserves wanting to push Krul, he's very rusty and it's obvious is confidence is shot, it's upsetting to see. Also Ameobi is really pleasing me, he hasn't properly been cleared to play for a while now because of his hip injury, nobody knows what is wrong with it but he's doing damn good to play through the pain.

All in all, we deserved nothing really, it was just one of those nights...we played well at West Ham on Sunday but I still think our team is gelling together and sadly doing it slowly.
And you guys make me laugh so much...Martins has played like two and a half games for us and already you are judging him as a waste off, most of you lot talk some utter shit sometimes you know and are blinded by the red! ...Maybe he will be a waste of money, I don't know, I didn't know much about him before we bought him, but he has to have a chance to settle in and he looked pretty damn sharp against West Ham! Guys like Peter Crouch weren't setting the world alight straight away either and if you're judging...Martins looks no worse than Kuyt!

[sunnydalehighdropout]

And you guys make me laugh so much...Martins has played like two and a half games for us and already you are judging him as a waste off, most of you lot talk some utter shit sometimes you know and are blinded by the red!
I'm a Leeds fan, i can spot an expensive waste when i see one :D

He was shit at Inter Milan too. Seriously, don't expect 10 League goals from him this season.

[Two-Bob Peeters]

Hey i haven't said Martins is shit! i'm just sayin' that 'Kought' and Klose would have been my preferred targets!

[Ian Mc]

Maybe he is shit...like I said, I'd never heard of him and I would have loved Klose yeah.
But he played well at West Ham on Sunday, getting his first goal and all, he didn't look like the out and out scorer that we need but I noticed a little potenial...and he isn't 28, that was a silly rumour...I'm sure there is room for growth but if not, then hey, he'll be another expensive waste, we've had many of them (Sadly).

I just believe that people are judging him as shit already because of the fact he plays for Newcastle...if it was Liverpool or Spurs then it would be another story altogether.

[Two-Bob Peeters]

Also, i'm going to add, that Newcastle are my Premiership team, i'm wearing an old away shirt right now! :)

[rob3000]

I dunno why you used Spurs as an example, there isn't exactly alot of pro-spurs bias on this board...apart from when me and Scotty are biggin em up.

True. I manage to mention Arsenal much more on my own than Spurs gets mentioned. Admittedly, I'm normally having a go at their uselessness, and Scotty's just lazy and forgets to come in and say hi to us anymore :(

But I understand what you're saying Ian my dear - Liverpool's having it's fair share of shit players this year... :D

Interesting you mentioned that - In a week where Gordon Strachan claimed the English media were arrogant enough to beleive that the Premiership is the best league in the world.

His arguement was basically - Look at the European Final's last season 2 Englsih clubs vs 2 Spanish clubs - Result 2-0 Spain.


How does that make them inferior to the English League?

Look at the amount of foreign players playing in those leagues - Surely thats whats costing both countires.

[Captain Stu]

The Premiership is a much faster, technical game - Spain and Italy are a lot slower and that's why a lot of foreigners come over here with skillzzzz but don't make it.

Prem > Serie A > La Liga

:cool:

[Captain Stu]

VERY interesting article with Henry in the Mirror this morning.

Firstly, he donated his prize money for winning the Golden Boot last season (around £27,000) to a charity he's supporting but then he revealed two rather shocking things:

1. He's a massive fan of teh style of play of Paul Dickov and Kevin Davies.
2. Had he not joined Arsenal, the club he most wanted to join was Liverpool. He loves playing at Anfield and says playing in the same team as Gerrard would be great.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/tm_objectid=17800224%26method=full%26siteid=94762% 26headline=thierry%2d%2dmy%2dhero%2ddickov-name_page.html

Dickov? Davies? WHY?! :confused:

[Two-Bob Peeters]

Dickov because of the way he's always moving and buzzing around the area. and Davies because of his 'physical but fair' approach.

i see what he means but you would have thought he'd have picked a better player than that pile of wank Davies

[Captain Stu]

Yeah, if he'd said someone like... I dunno... someone who's not exactly "classy" but a very effective forward who works for the team then i could get it. Davies is just a donkey with a quiff. Can't think of anyone off the top of me head...

Apparently, things are less than peachy with the West Ham forwards because of Tevez. Mascherano is fitting into the team well but Tevez's style of play is majorly pissing the other forwards off because they're all used to working together and for each other and Tevez tends to play a free role and do what he wants, when he wants.

Also, I can't exactly see Juventus tempting Mascherano away... why would he want to go play in Serie B? :confused:

My 5 year drug-induced sabbatical from following football means I've resumed interest with no real allegiance to any team. That said, I spend most of the season in Liverpool, and to be honest I've felt something special for them since being out in town on that incredible night - 25th May 2005.

Automatic three match ban, unless he appeals and loses, in which case it'll be increased.

I love that rule. You say you didn't do it, when you clearly did. Here, have a longer ban :D

Plus they have it on video anyway. A corner's coming into the box, he sees Kuyt just behind him so he swings and catches him in the face.

Yeah. I'm hiding money away for PES6. Hopefully by then, I'll only be classed as a rem whilst playing, and not a full blown football spastic. I lost 7-1 to some french guy yesterday - it was 1-1 at half time :o (I've only played 9 games though)

I've found PES is easier to play on the PSP - the controls are much more reactive when it comes to dribbling and turning on the ball.

[Hmmm Noodle Soup]

*Sigh*, Berbatov out for another 3 weeks.

Might as well take him out my fantasy teams.

[Zippy Ate My Drumkit]

Pro-Evo hugely overrated. it's the best footie game, but that's saying nothing.

It's got a much better control system than Fifa, although I can score many more goals in Fifa, there's a better feel for things like passing. I'm enjoying playing much more, and it's got more longevity.

Having said that, I've got PES6, FFXII and FFVII: Dirge Of Cerberus coming out before Christmas, and I can only really buy one of them. And I've been waiting for XII for ages...

Life's choices are hard.

Advance notice - I'll probably not be around for the weekend


First Old Firm game of the season (sat 12:30 kick off) - I'll either be too happy to care or absolutley gutted.

Nice. I forgot to do that.

I got the new Arsenal catalogue in the post yesterday. I now know exactly how they plan to pay off their debts... :(

My Villa catalouge arrived yesterday aswell.


Why they didn't send me one when they sent me the shirt seems strange.

I got the Newcastle and Fulham ones last month sometime.

I had to email them and ask if there was a new catalogue. The online shop has absolutely nothing in it that hasn't sold out, and I've normally had the catalogue a good month or two by now. And I bet Villa is cheaper.

Still, it means I can start planning what to get mum for christmas.

Not too much from Villa Village has taken my eye so far.


Are the club stores not operated by the same company and just sold to the clubsas part of a franchise?

If Villa win, I think they'll have amounted the same amount of points this season as Sunderland managed all of last season.

His teeth look weird. :)

Finally, winning 2-0 at home. Apparently Gallas ENJOYS playing on the left in the Arsenal system, which is nice to hear.

Spurs should have drawn earlier. Shit, shit finishing.

Anyone watching Sky Sports?

Analyst on Leeds Vs Brum Shitty

"Horsfield has just scored to make it 3-1 Leeds, a Birmingham player the poleaxed a leeds player and has been sent off"

Two minutes later:

"It's 2-2 - Horsfield's goal had been disallowed. I Only realised when the scoreboard never changed! Brum player was sent off, then Brum went up the pitch and inevetably scored to rub salt into the wounds. Can I go home now?"

[Wish_Master2100]

Bored at work today, I decided to purchase a book during my lunch break to entertain me during a few boring hours.


A few autobiographies tempted me, then I saw a few tartan army books ("Tales Of A Tartan Army Foot Soldier" and "Tartan Army Songs" - Lyrical geniuses us Scots you know!)

In the end, I decided on this book (http://www.play.com/Books/Books/4-/1050944/Pointless/Product.html)


Good book, though the title of the book now belongs to Elgin City

I don't know to be honest. It could be.

Finally, winning 2-0 at home. Apparently Gallas ENJOYS playing on the left in the Arsenal system, which is nice to hear.
We needed that. We have a tendency to get a good result against a team like United, and then cock up in the next game. And Gallas enjoys playing on the left at Arsenal because we're not Chelski, and Wenger isn't an arrogant twat :D

[EvilElvis]

Wenger isn't an arrogant twat :D


He is French, therefore he's an arrogant twat by nature... :)

Fair enough. I understand :)

Wenger pisses me off sometime. Especially when he spouts his, 'I'm sorry, I missed that blatent foul, I was doing the crossword' rubbish. But I cant stay mad at him for long.

[EvilElvis]

I think I hate them both equally :)

I quite like Fergie.


When Man Utd played Celtic in a pre season friendly, the Man Utd Team bus went around Govan - The area of Glasgow where Fergie was raised and worked as an apprentice at the shipyards - Fergie gave the players an education about things that happened there when he was growing up, he then advised them to remember what was said as he'd quiz them on it later.

One of the lads mags (Nuts/Zoo/Maxim) did a season prediction a few years back.

Wenger will miss the incident where Patrick Viera pulls out an AK-47 and starts shooting the opposition

He will however, notice the look Roy Keane give Viera in the same match

[EvilElvis]

Rooney must have got top marks! :eek:

Nah! He'd have been searching for the older women working down the shipyards

It really annoys when the 'big' clubs do that. They deserve everything they get for that. When we (And I mean Exeter now) played United in the cup the other year, Fergie rested almost all the first team, which is condescending, and disappointing for all the fans that travelled. So we showed him why he shouldn't have done it :D

[EvilElvis]

For Villa and Dumbarton, yes.

Otherwise :mad:

I remember a few seasons back (The season we lost 1-0 to wolves), we beat/didn't lose to any of the big teams. Just dropped points against Wolves, Southampton, Blackburn, Portsmouth, Middlesborough etc. No offence to them, but we should be beating teams like that.

And we only just scraped a win in the replay against Exeter. Fergie never learns :(

No. At least he played a more recognisable team. But it's never easy to go to a small club like that, and it's wrong for a manger to underestimate like that. I've seen it happen so many times - over the past 15 years or so, we've pulled out really good performances against Villa, Everton and Coventry. It took Everton over 200 minutes to score against us a few years back.

That's what I was afraid Arse would do today. Get a cracking result on sunday, and then go to pieces today against Sheffield. I've seen them do it so often.

[EvilElvis]

Cunty "Judas" Miller scored the winner in that game didn't he?

Think that was the last league goal he'd scored. Till today :mad:

Short term memory's anyone?

1-1 against Reading, and the fact that they deserved at least a point makes my blood boil

I've just noticed that you support Exeter too.

When I used to play for my local team, Alex Inglethorpe came to our training sessions for a couple of years and coached us.

I think he coaches at Spurs now, not sure his role though.

He'll blame it on the fact he lives in the "Goldfish Bowl" of London.
And gets bummed - not by a woman with a strap on, but by a man.


Also, from watching how he phas played in his career so far, Micah Richards = New Clarence Seedorf.
