Scrape a win?

I'm guessing that was sarcasm .

 

Late Edit: Just thought after watching the Rugby highlights on Sky Sports News, the spectators in football should be able to high what the match officials say during the games, would be cool.

 

That is all.

I know.

[Seddo]

Well what was the question mark for then.

[Stefan.]

I'm confused. I thought Waddy was sarcastic, and I thought that you were agreeing with me.

 

Apparently, an Arab investment group is tipped to buy Liverpool sometime this year...

Meh that story comes around every year and i do not want Liverpool run by Arabs.

 

Some news i've got while reading the news on the Liverpool website and whether or not your a Liverpool fan this news will shock you.

 

"Rafa Benitez plans to select his strongest possible side when Luton Town travel to Anfield for the FA Cup third round replay on Tuesday."

 

And after 4 consecutive draws against poor opposition (supposadly to Liverpool's standards (and yes Gareth, City were poor as f*ck when Liverpool played them) he better start with his strongest team that includes Fernando Torres, his name should be first/second on the team sheet now.

[Eddie280]

I see man Utd scraped a lucky win past Newcastle.

I think if Newcastle had a manager to sack, he would be sacked right about now.

 

Big Sam was lucky after all.

Scrape a win? Ferdinand scored; surely, Newcastle's defense must have been crap if Ferdinand scored. Pity; I put it on Fox Sports News, I went to take a crap, and I missed out on the Man United highlights. I got stuck watching crappy Arsenal draw at Birmingham City.

 

Nonetheless, we're top for now.

Hey ill have you know the Ferdinands are known for their scoring abbility. Just yesterday i watched Anton smash on passed a clueless fulham fc.

 

 

They are going down fo' sho'

[EasyTiger]

3-1, not bad.

 

Could of done with keeping a clean sheet though, silly goal to let in on the last minute of play.

 

 

EUROPE HERE WE COME!!

[Andyzoot]

What a goal by Nolan! I highly doubt he meant it but that doesn't take away the fact it was a cracking goal.

[JeNvEy]

To any liverpool fans on this forum, top 4 going to turn in top 3, i reckon its going to be everton, liverpool, villa, man city for 4th place

 

as a villa supporter i hope they get 4th place

 

[Seddo]

There's a long way to go in the season mate.

 

Liverpool will get their form back soon and we still have a game in hand .

well Liverpool vs Aston villa next monday thats goin to be a gd game, gd time to have u i think seein you aint doing so gd at the moment, to draws against middlesborough and Wigan

 

 

[Boombastic]

As a Villa fan shouldn't you want Villa to get 1st place?

 

I'm with Seddo on this one, as usual.

 

LFC FTW!

[Waddy]

Merged that Villa post into here.

 

Footy stays in here, and FYI Everton will take 4th.

well getting first place is kinda out of the question now.

4th is the highest we'll get this season

 

but 3 or 4 seasons from now i think we'll be challenging the big teams propely

[T.I.P.]

How was I so unaware of this thread?

 

Anyway, I'm a huge Liverpool supporter.  Hopefully Skrtel can lend some help in the back, especially with Agger's return being delayed.

Yeah, he's about 6'3" and they're saying he's a Vidic type-player. He'll be winning a lot of headers for Liverpool in the future, no doubt.

With Hyypia on the down hill I think he could be a great replacement if he finds his form.

 

Another amazing goal for Torres against Boro. I still can't believe how stupid Benetiz is, but hey - hopefully this is his last season as LFC manager. Just play Crouch for f's sake. Kuyt can NOT score and Voronin does not play all that well with Torres.

 

I swear if I see another draw I'm going to freak out. Do the right thing Hicks - give him the boot.

[Seddo]

Agger and Skrtel for future partnership for the win, especially if they train with Hyypia and Carragher in training and maybe have a few games along side each other as Agger looks class already hopefully Skrtel will follow suit.

 

and if Liverpool keep Hyypia on for a coaching role both those lads will learn quite a bit.#

 

I agree play f*cking Crouch, how long have i been saying that now .

[T.I.P.]

Crouch and Torres have been my two favorite players since they became pros, so you can imagine how badly I flipped when I found out Liverpool was trying to buy Fernando.

 

Torres and Crouch is THE partnership up front. I don't see what Benetiz is thinking. It seems like Crouch scores far more often than any striker besides Torres when he starts but Rafa hardly gives him any opportunity, not even being in the team frequently.

 

*sigh* Moron. Maybe he didn't notice Crouch was in the team when they beat Besiktas 8-0.

[Seddo]

 

What a goal by Nolan! I highly doubt he meant it but that doesn't take away the fact it was a cracking goal.

Yeah just seen the goal on Match of the Day and it was a stunner to me Nolan actually looked like he intentionally done it.

 

Still waiting to see Torres's goal aswell.

Edit: What a beauty, he even had time to slip up aswell.

Touch of offside for the Lescott goal? It's debatable.

 

Still, no need to dwell on it, fact is Manchester city have exceeded many expectations of supporters. Compared to last season, they've improved a hell of a lot.

[Stefan.]

It is because of Sven, of course.

 

And need I say more? Crouch is overrated and sucks. He is too big and lanky. Sure he scores, but apart from that he is not a class player. If he was, he would have been captain of England by now. And do not try and get with the Rooney crap; I am not saying that Rooney is class, but he certainly plays better than Crouch, and is one of Europe's most prolific goal scorers.

[flicko]

Yeah gotta agree with that, Sven has revolutionised Manchester city into a formiddable team, he's certainly put Stuart Pearce in the shadow.

 

 

Sure he scores

What else do you want him to do? His main job is to score, and he does that. If you had noticed he is also very good at holding the ball up to set other players up. You've basically said the main thing Crouch is supposed to do.

 

Are you insinuating that if somebody is a "class player", that they should be captain of England? In that case the likes of Gerrard, Lampard, Owen and most of England, except Terry are mediocre, is that what you're saying?

[Waddy]

one of the owners of LFC has just said they approached Klinsmann to manage the side just incase Rafa decided to leave, LOL yeah right. If he hadnt taken the Bayern job I reckon Rafa would have been fired, he may well be soon.

 

 

Sven has done a good job at City granted, he has also had a sh*t load of money to throw at it, unlike other prem teams, so yeah they have done well, but it isnt a miracle to see why they are doing well.

Yea i Agree i cant see Rafa surviving more than a month or so more and if they are approaching other managers then its definatly a bad sign for him. Also a little disrespectful methinks,

Liverpool English Premiership

 

 

Global Football Discussion

 

You post about La Liga and you will most probably get replies back.

 

And if Crouch gets played regularly then he will score regularly and unfortunately that doesnt seem to be happening under Rafa.

Well the Premiership is the best league in the world and Liverpool is the best team in the Premiership.

Overrated, huh?

 

1. Were it not for him England may have never gotten on the board in Germany 06'.

 

2. What does being tall and lanky have to do with anything? His ball control is class.

 

3. If he was good he would've been captain of England by now? That's one of the stupidest things I've heard in a long time. I guess all the other England players that aren't captain aren't any good?

 

4. If you've watched at all, Rooney has only recently found is int'l form after being consistently outplayed by Crouch. He also scored in their last game and has 5 Euro goals to Rooney's 2, I believe.

 

5. Just to cap this off, in 40 games Rooney has 14 goals. Crouch has 14 goals in 24 games.

I think La Liga is better than the Premiership. The game is more free-flowing; sure, there are some divers, but overall the football is more skillful and prettier to watch. The Premiership is good, but sometimes the play can get boring. Spanish/Italian/French football for the win. Might I ask, who do you support? I support Real Madrid more than I support Man United.

 

As for the Crouch debate, that is my opinion, and I am entitled to it. Why such hostility?
