    *Official* English Football Season 2010-11

    Not worried. There have been some seasons where they haven't fired up much but we've still won the league through other players. Wasn't long ago that Scholes was out for almost an entire season and then people were all too happy to point out that Giggs "didn't deserve" an award because he...

    Help me pick an EPL side

    More likely Stevie G than anyone at all. :p

    There a fantasy football thing set up at CW yet?

    Help me pick an EPL side

    Newcastle or Everton? Definitely would go with Everton, personally. Newcastle's news is always behind the scenes crap such as potential selling of the club, they go through far too many managers for you to ever get properly attached to them, whereas if you go with Everton you get the bonus of...

    We liked the look of the blog feature - it's something we're currently without at our forums and the idea of being able to "promote" both posts and blog entries into frontsite articles, our interest was peaked - although we probably won't implement that from the start, and I doubt you'll need to...

    No prob man. Just a heads up by the way: Don't upgrade the main forums to vB4 without months of figuring it out on some random test forums (eg. cricketweb.net/vb4testforums/ or something) as you'll have to set it up from scratch. We're doing it at EoFF at the moment and it's been taking us a...

    That is seriously ridiculous money. I'd raise an eyebrow if it actually happened, but wouldn't go as far as to say I'd be surprised.

    All the City fans I know are great, Dan (Majin here) and Smitteh both top examples. Having said that, I can see why some people might have had worse experiences. Apparently City fans were throwing horse manure from police horses at the United fans while they were at it. No matter which club...

    Alright guys, no more personal attacks, thanks. EDIT: Hahaha.

    He's scored 12 in 23 in Europe so can't be all that bad. 10 in 29 for Uruguay against decent opposition, too, although not yet against a top 10 side that I'm aware of. Wouldn't mind him joining United, let's put it that way. Having said that, I'd be happy with the 16 year old Lukaku, who to...

    Yeah, really hoping it's not true that we're going after Benzema, personally. Would prefer Lukaku to the likes of Villa, Benzema and Aguero, actually. Would serve us better in the long run.

    Given that Wenger has, time and time again, stated that he has the money to spend but prefers not to, it can only be his own fault if he doesn't have a squad capable of winning trophies. I think they are capable, mind you. Still not out of the race.

    Huh? Well, if you're going to put it that way, why couldn't Liverpool buy a striker other than that Spanish guy? I don't really get what you're getting at in that end. *confused*

    Actually, work permit issues can be appealed and go to a panel of three representatives of football bodies and three independent panelists. You need a majority (4-2 minimum, obviously) of votes to get through. Well, that is, according to memory... I'd expect that Hernandez would probably...

    To be fair, young players of exceptional talent are supposed to get given more leeway, and if he's a young player who is, going by (all pre-United talk) reports... - The best rated player in all four matches he's played in, including when he came on as a substitute - Scored in three of the four...

    I'm glad we don't have Robben in our team, talent or not. Never liked him much at all as a person. Wouldn't have objected to Sneijder, though, I suppose. Would take Gourcuff or Suarez ahead of either of them, mind you, amongst a few others... although they almost certainly wouldn't have been...

    I can see him being kept at the club if we can't get someone to replace him, and potentially even him staying as a 3rd/4th striker behind Rooney and [someone else]. Basically, I can't see him remaining with us if he's going to be one of the first two strikers. I hope he's sold.

    Nope, but we had the better chances even with ten men, so who's to say that them attacking more wouldn't have allowed us to see more of the ball, thus being able to get another goal ourselves? It's all speculation, though, either way we are now out of the CL and that's that.

    *Official* English Football Season 2009-2010

    Yes, but the performance, rather than the goals, is what was missing for the first half of Saturday's game. We only showed it in the second half, and we matched Chelsea that half and were the better performers in it. In other words, we were capable of getting at least a draw out of Saturday's...

    Obviously! You know, despite being so gutted about going out, I'm actually really proud of the performance we put in tonight. If we'd played that way on Saturday, I reckon we'd be top of the league.
