MikeO Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Copa de Rey ending in chaos....Ronaldo red card (after Mourinho sent to the stands earlier), handbags on the bench and the Atletico 'keeper hit by something thrown from the crowd. Looking like Atletico will hold on though.....first win over Real for many years (since 1999) if they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalziel Kane Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 All the sides you want to see lose today are winning and vice versa. One of the most disappointing last weekends you could recall, it was fucking murphys law today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Posted May 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 West Brom 5 Manchester United 5. Could you write it? It'll be the cherry on the cake if United get the sixth in Fergie time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalziel Kane Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 are you kidding me. It was 5 - 2 to Manchester about five minutes ago, but what a result and game for all involved. Yes confirmed on 5 Live, they shared ten goals, what a last game for Ferguson today. No-one could have expected that today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Posted May 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 3 goals in five minutes for West Brom. A rather fitting end to the Ferguson era - he always was full of surprises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalziel Kane Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 I'm kind of pleased in a sense that MUFC didn't get a win today, and it's got nothing to do with Ferguson or his last game, but it does little to componsate what else occured around the country today. At least some much disliked sides like Liverpool or West Ham got victories, it was only wins and no significant victories that made a whole lot of difference. But once again, one of the most disappointing last weekend of games I could recall in recent years. This does of course, signal the end of the league season, and for the benefit of my health, maybe it's not such a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 They started off badly. Only for two or three games, they were top five (with a win at OT) by the end of September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalziel Kane Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 They haven't had a league finish in the top three since 1990 ? Don't recall any such place in recent years, has to be fourth or fifth at best. Didn't really care less who got the champions league place out of them and Arsenal, no fan of either , although to word it better, was aware the latter got that achievement. Yeovil won the third division play off today also, and with it a place in the championship league ? No real shock waves, but it's a decent achievement for them for a club in non-league soccer only in recent years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Yes. Yeovil Town won the League One play-off which means they will now be playing in the Championship. Only forty miles away from me so another promotion next season would give me a great away game in 14/15! Either that or our own impending and inevitable relegation. Won't be holding my breath though. Used to be famous (for those too young to remember) for the slope on their pitch in their old ground, one touchline was eight feet lower than the other. It's now a Tescos.....they probably flattened out the slope in the interests of trolley safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Which was the ground that had the advertising boards pretty much on the touchline? I know this might seem a bizarre question but I remember my Dad telling me that he was watching Everton away at a lower league opponent in the cup and the players were unable to sprint full speed at the wings for fear of crashing into the poles that held up the stands - just wondering if anyone could shed some light on it. I'm glad Yeovil are in the Championship though, I think we could do them home and away when we are scrapping for our lives in the second tier and claim a valuable six points.

Zoo Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Osman hasn't really done anything special since his last call-up. I'd still have him in there as a sub but I don't think he's at the stage where he can go to the World Cup and make a difference.

Zoo Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Just seen that about Rodwell - what a fucking joke. Jack has done nothing all season apart from lose City games and get injured. I had a mate in University who was a Manchester City fan and absolutely despised him. I was so glad when we got rid and to be called up to the England side just shows how out of touch Hodgson really is. Score two goals for a top 4 club and suddenly you're good enough for the national team - it's pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but surely a big part of England selection should be how you perform for England, and he's done very well when he's had the chance.

Zoo Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) I agree but surely a big part of England selection should be how you perform for England, and he's done very well when he's had the chance. To an extent I agree but it's hard to enforce that given how few and far between England games are. If you play well for England on your debut but in-between your next cap score 12 own goals for your club and get sent off for shagging the referee's wife then I think you should be left out of the national team. For me England should field the best players that are playing now. Which is why I'm out-raged that Rodwell is in the team and happy that Osman is left out.

MikeO Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 I don't think shagging the ref's wife is a red is it? Unless it's done in the penalty area and likely to impede the 'keepers line of sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
