English Football Thread 2012/2013

[El Loco]

While he was succesful as Chelsea, I thoroughly enjoyed the healthy rivalry he developed against Liverpool, Alan Hansen in particular.

I liked United's mid-field formation the other day versus blackburn:


------------------------Scholes--------------------------

Nanin---------Carrick---------------Jones-----------Rooney

Scholes playing as the registra similar to what Pirlo does at Juventus ATM. Plus Rooney playing out left although its not his best position, highlights his known ability to play anywhere across the frontline, which is probably where he will have to play for England when he returns from his 2-match ban in the EUROs.

Just replace Jones with a fit Cleverley and as long as Scholes can play, this should be United's best XI/formation.

Since January 11, we have signed nine first-team players and we are very pleased with the way it went.

Say what?

So, eight points clear, same amount of games played. If Utd lose it now, it'll rank alongside when we pulled back a thirteen point lead from Newcastle - in fact, it'll be an even bigger implosion than that was!

Shame the first goal was given - Scholesy's goal was worthy of being the winning goal in any game. The first penalty was soft, and Young was offside in any case, but the second showed why Scholesy should go to the Euros.

As for City, well it's getting so funny. The team are imploding and Balotelli is proving more and more what I said a while back - that he's a flaming liability - he should've gone for a straight red in the first half.

They're doing exactly what Blackburn tried to do way back in the mid nineties - building the house before the foundation is secure, and the longer it takes them to win the league, the more they'll become like another Chelsea: a team that looks like it'll come along and dominate from now on, only to fade away.

@KBC: Your sig is incorrect. City buy success? What success?

Found this on fb:

BLUEEEEEEEEEE MOOOOOOON, you started singing too SOOOOOON, you might of beat us 6-1, but now the title is GONE!!

 

[shravi]

Thank god Alan Hansen wasn't on MOTD today. I'm getting tired of him saying Balotelli isn't a world beater (not because he is or he isn't).

 

[JD10]

Balotelli is you either love him or hate him. Most people hate him

 

[Haarithan]

I'm genuinely worried about his chances of being selected for the Euros now. Prandelli never picks suspended players. Somehow he needs to be convinced to pick Balotelli on talent alone...

My bad.

Haha. As much as we've been dreadful this season, I'm just glad that we'll end this season with more trophies than Citeh!

 

[MasterBlaster76]

In 1996, Sir Alex needed mind games to just make one man implode: Kevin Keegan. Now in 2012, he's made a whole team implode simply by using The Force. Blue Moon? More like Blue Bubble - and we all know what happens to bubbles.

Great poster! And you're right, it's been a strange season for you - pretty dire in the league - yet you've got a good chance of coming out of it with a Double. As the man said, football is a funny old game.

 

[iridescentt]

Gotta' love the heart of Norwich, go lads go!

 

[thedon5]

For once I am glad to see Utd winning the title.

Oh, and kerpluck you $amir Na$ri.

Edit: Kerpluck . Gotta love the admins.

 

[KBC]

My intuition always said Blue moon is some kind of a sweet.

Not arguing.
