Golf and football cant be mentioned in the same sentance!!! But its the way of the world mate, TV rules the roost on all fronts.

It will be over in less than that. Motherwell will take a draw off them at Fir Park and we wont lose both matches at Parkhead. In fact I dont think we will lose one there. But we have to be lucky with injuries with the amount of games coming up again.

Id edge towards a treble containing: Roma v Man U - Draw Fener v Chelsea - away win Arsenal v Liverpool - Home win
-
Im still annoyed with Arsenal though, they should be at least level on points with Man Utd at the moment. Imagine how good that game between them would have been had it been closer. Hopefully there is a twist this weekend when Man Utd go to the Riverside. Boro are a weird team, they seem to be improving as a side but then they collapse for a game or 2. I used to not be able to stand Southgate but he has grown on me this past few months. He conducts himself very well but after Chris Burke he is the next man in football that needs a haircut.

Jon, your not bad at posting pictures

Friday morning matey, and dont be letting that English classes get in the way

Tuesday: AS Roma v Man Utd Fenerbahce v Chelsea The Man Utd game could be interesting. Roma are no mugs despite Man U getting the better of them quite a few times in the last year. Totti being out for Roma is a massive loss. I think Man U will go through over 2 legs but tonight may be a draw. Chelsea go to a hostile place but they will have too much strength for Fenerbahce over 2 legs. Tonight might be a narrow away win or a draw but Chelsea will beat them by 2 goals at Stamford Bridge Wednesday: Schalke v Barcelona: Has to be Barca over 2 legs and they should win on the night aswell. There are no easy games at this stage though. The big one - Arsenal v Liverpool: Has to be Arsenal for me over 2 legs. They will switch it on for the CL as this is the one Wenger wants more. I think it will be a cracking game but if Arsenal keep Torres quiet then they should win it. They play 3 times in 1 week and I expect 2 Arsenal wins and a draw.

Just when they thought they had a decent coach.....
Gribz replied to Gazza_8's topic in General Football Chat
No wonder he was so keen on taking the England job, but if he keeps picking Owen and Beckham then i hope he stays -
As i said in another thread it will depend on the rules of the game. We all know diving is a bookable offence but is there a rule stating a player going down under a touch isnt diving?? Unlikely, I know but that would define if it was a dive or not.
-
Re Thomson incident, it depends what the actualy rules of the game are. We all know Diving isnt allowed and its a bookable offence. But is there a rule when players play for pens and go down with a touch that says this isnt diving???
-
Good read Cammy. That WS record wouldnt be far off but is it maybe for league matches only?? I thought he has had a wee bit more matches than that. He took over in 1990/91 until 1998 which means he had between 28 and 32 league matches depending on his exact start and then the 4 he has had since returning. Add the cup matches during his first spell (id say about 5 or 6??). So that between 38 and 42 would be right. As for Scott Brown, thats very interesting. It might even explain his poor attitude and does make sense due to all the comments last summer that he was a Rangers player. A move to a struggling EPL team wouldnt be a great move for him IMO, just look at C Gordon, R Anderson but on the other hand McFadden has done well since moving to Birmingham. It would depend how much money McLeish gets at Brum and who else he signs (Lovenkrands, Boyd and Hemdani???) But would fellow Bears take him to Ibrox? Agree with the above that Davis needs to be signed up but id say its imperative he plays a more central role - he hasnt played nearly aswell wide right. But after Davis id certainly think Broon would add to our squad as WS would wipe that bad attitude away and we may see the true talent he has. Very interesting! But a transfer fee would be on the high side and I really cant see it.

Another potential banner

Harsh but amusing
-
Which one of you and Juff plays the bird during your ramming sessions or do you's take turns
-
Why does he get suspended for the Celtic game and not Dundee Utd or is suspended for that aswell?? But Hemdani can easy come in, alternatively Davis moves in one and Novo starts out right. Plenty options
-
Stewarty, you can take Partick if you want seen as you asked first. If not il do it if Im around.
-
Yip agree with Stewarty after watching it again - definately not a pen, but if he went down would the ref had seen it that way!! Have to say Thomson is very lucky not to have been sent off but as someone said these things even themselves out as his first booking was a joke. Cant believe you lot have to put up with Jim Delahunt, I totally forgot he existed until seeing his little round face on that clip. I get the commentary with Crocker and Booth but dont see the ones in the studio. Who picks the Setanta team!!! - Delahunt, Crocker and Scott Booth
-
Yip exactly. Look how much of a plank Paul Jewell looks by saying his side are an embarrassment in public. He took over knowing what he had to work with and knew they would go back down - he lacks class by saying these stuff in public. If you want to be successful, you have to have a winning mentality. Imagine how crap the Derby players would have felt at home sitting with there families while there boss is on TV saying they are rubbish. Whereas the Arsenal lads will get confidence knowing their manager is defending them to the media despite giving them a talking too in training. As i said, its likely to be a tactic by Wenger but a very good one.
-
Carlos for me with McGregor and Weir in there. But once again Hutton cant be forgotten about. He certainly was the most impressive individual for me, but these awards are about the whole season and AH isnt there now obviously.
-
The title is different from the poll question. My answer to the poll question is Wenger. But saying that all he does is say he didnt see it so maybe he is telling the truth!!!! But if it is who is the most ignorant then id say Benitez for rotation of his squad and expecting to challenge for the title. The biggest moaner is another question - Sir Awex would win that out of the 4.
-
Garbage!! Whether it was or not is different to who Wengers tells that to. The question is about Wenger defending players to the media. As i said he will defend his players but rightly so. None of us know what goes on behind the scenes at Arsenal and what Wengers real thoughts are.

I thought Motherwell had to be one. But St Mirren from November!!! Jee Whizz
-
This is what we have pencilled in: 3rd April - Sporting H 6th April - Dundee Utd A 10th April - Sporting A 13th April - Partick A 16th April - Celtic A Who else do we need to play to make up our games in hand, I thought we had 2 more league matches to fit in?? Is it 33 games before the split and we have played 29?? Crikey - its going to get mad, we could still have another 2 UEFA games after Sporting then St Johnstone in the cup in the likely event we get past Partick. Then 5 more games in the SPL between Mid april and mid may - its nuts!!!
-
Yip its the case of installing the Rangers mentality into the players and letting them know what playing for the blue jersey is all about - this has been a huge factor since January 2007.
