Football Banter

Cant believe all the results went our way today in the Championship, second place now looks like it is down to 2 teams, but I still fear that Cardiff will pip us.
Oh well might get my first trip to Wembley!!
On the Ball City!!

Are there more Scottish or English managers in the Premiership?

After all you can't clasify Mick McCarty as being English as he played his football for Ireland

Phoenix, Torres only scored due to the rain, if it wasn't smashing it down the ball wouldn't have got stuck & would've as usual rolled away from him

Your right though the kid does need a good 3 to 4 week rest as I don't think he's had one since he came to England. He's a natural goalscorer so he'll score 20+ a season but if he's gonna do it for you then you need to be playing to his strengths & using him as your only goal threat interms of strikers & unless they sell Drogba I can't see this happening. The kind of support he should be given is from Frank Lampard running on from midfield & not a fellow striker as he's not very good in a two man strikeforce this is probably one of the reasons Robbie Keane & stretch armstrong didn't last at Liverpool.

I do think it'll be Liverpool & Chelsea as the top 2 in the Premier League next season, although this is depending on who Utd sell/buy, & should they get both silvers then will the old fella still be there???

that was never a penalty - justice done

Will Wenger bring in new players to Arsenal?

He needs at least four players
1. A goal scorer
2. A defensive midfielder
3. Strong central defender
4.A keeper

dont forget how much money would glazers leave fergie after taking money to pay for the debt (club and their own). i think fergie will retire when giggs and scholes do. mourinho to be the likely candidate for the job. everton were very unlucky not to get a point.

man city would need to get rid off some players in the summer. chelsea could have a new manager in the summer.

it could be 6 to 8 teams playing for the champions league places next season.

thats if arsene spends a penny. parker, cahill and either gyan or odemwingie or sturridge.

next season could be very interesting and very close.

I was sorry to see Arsenal lose today as the result all but guarantees Utd the title. I guess we will have to rely on the battle for premiership survival to keep the excitement going till the end of season. I really think Wenger should swallow his pride and get himself a new keeper, the ones he has at the moment make far too many mistakes and do not inspire confidence from the defence. Given or Foster would be good choices if he could get them, add Parker and a decent striker and he could launch a proper assault on the title next season. Arsenal have far too many players who simply don,t perform when they are really needed.

Just read this article about Man Utd & Republic Of Ireland footballer Darron Gibson setting up a twitter account and then having to delete it within hours because of the amount of abuse he got. The shocking thing about it is that nearly all the abuse came from man utd fans. That is bang out of order, in my opinion. No matter how limited a footballer is, if you support the team he plays for, you should get behind him as best you can & certainly not throw this kind of shit at the guy.

Here is the article....
