*Official* English Football Season 2010-11

[Jarquis]

As for Rooney, hearing that he's not travelled with the squad because he is not in a fit state to play after a super injunction was listed against him on Friday. So apparently we'll be reading more about him soon.

Sunday papers tomorrow apparently.

Sunday papers tomorrow apparently.

Have heard two rumours as to what it's about, both naughty but only one really dodge, however I'll wait til they're in public domain for fear of getting site/self in legal strife.

Yeah, I heard vice girls.

Ish, I'd heard he was caught using a pro at the WC tho.

Other rumour tamer, so I'll dish: was allegedly banging the ranga from Girls Aloud.

Sounds like nothing but gutter tabloid journalism, I suppose a lot of it in the article is just pure bull. I mean a 'leafy suburb' of Bolton, ITSTL

According to the Italian Tuttosport newspaper, it is claiming Juventus are looking at buying Jermain Defoe when the January transfer window opens

Whites kicking arse in the Masters

Although Villa just scored. ****ing Tommy Johnson. It's fifteen years later and he's still a wanker.

 

[Uppercut]

Bebe's been left out of United's 25-man squad. Actually, it's a 24-man squad. They opted to pick air instead of him.

I wonder what's behind his signing. Everything about it seems rather curious...

 

[cpr]

Actually you'll find the 25th person we've registered is Own Goal, had a crackin domestic campaign last year.


Looking at it, think Fergie thinks we've enough strikers for a European campaign (where he favours one up top) and would rather keep a space open for registering a new player in January (only allowed a certain number of replacements, but gaps in the original 25 can be filled i think)


Hargreaves not being in doesn't really offer much hope though.

 

[Uppercut]

Yeah but if he's so surplus to requirements then why spend £8m on him?

You couldn't exactly say it's a bad signing- not yet anyway- but it's a pretty curious one. I wonder if Fergie even had anything to do with it.

 

[Scaly piscine]

If he hasn't seen him play before he can't have had that much to do with it.

 

[Uppercut]

Word was that he signed him on the back of a glowing recommendation from Carlos Quieroz, in the knowledge that he had to make a snap yes/no decision because other clubs were in the hunt.

 

[cpr]

Yeah but if he's so surplus to requirements then why spend £8m on him?

Because he may not be surplus to requirements in a couple of years down the line, and hopefully he'll be of a calibre that a similar player would cost 3 times as much. Thats the reckoning behind the transfer.... Basically all chips have gone on red, just gonna take time to see where the ball lands

 

[roseboy64]

Basically 3 other clubs were in for him. We matched the bids and he chose us. Having come from playing 3rd division football last season he's clearly not up to standard. Also clear he's not a striker based on his game against England U21s. When he was released if being lone man he actually showed some influence on the game. Anyway not ready for Europe and so no big he's not registered. If he's not registered in 2 years then he's a bad signing.

I thought at this age he didn't count towards the 25 anyway

 

[Uppercut]

No that's only if he's been at the club for two years.

I wonder why they thought he hadn't been included.

Assuming it was his wankness, tbh.

Did anyone on here see the Argentina vs Spain friendly today??

I must say it was one of the best games i've seen in a long time. Spain didn't play as badly as the scoreline suggest, they could have easily scored 3 goals - but Argentina where superb.


That wasn't no friendly - felt like a major championship match. This was the argentina that was missing in the WC. Maradona decision to leave home Zanetti, Cambiasso & G Milito was made to look really foolish. If they had gone to the WC, they certainly would have beaten Germany & who knows what could have happened then.

Messi was god like though. In the 63rd IIRC correctly he had a burst of acceleration that took him past 6 or 7 spanish players, then he sent in an amazing pass to Di Maria who smashed it in, only for the ref to call off-side. That run was so Maradona vs ENG 1986 like.

Pepe Reina is officially having his worst season to date. Following his early season howler for Liverpool, he had a Paul Robinson 2008 Zagred type incident in front of goal. Xavi didn't come on until the second half, they certainly missed his control & vision in that 1st half when Mascherano/Cambiasso basically outmuscled the Spanish mid-field really.


Spain's goal was tik-taka football @ its finest also. About 15-20 passes before Llorente scored. Reminded me so much of Cambiasso goal vs Serbia in the 2006 WC. Just an amazing football game.

 

[vcs]

Spain making an artform of losing matches that don't matter (see Confederations Cup and Switzerland in the WC losses). They'll probably go on a 30-match winning run now.
