I wouldn't like to be Robert tomorrow.

 

[themuel1]

What did Robert actually do? because I have not heard about it


Also, I think Inter's punishment is disgraceful. If they were an english club they would have been banned from europe for at least one season. I think it's time to get some people at Uefa and Fifa who have a backbone.

Inter's Punishment: 6 games to be held behind close doors and roughly, a ?130,000 fine.

I've heard that Franz Beckenbouer (sorry about the spelling) and Michelle Platini are gunning for presidency, I think this would be bad for the sport as i think heavy bias towards their home nations will appear.

Relegation Battle

On Saturday the two Relegation Fighters, Crystal Palace and Norwich City, battle it out at Selhurst Park to try and grab that extra three points.

Crystal Palace are off the back of a heavy 0-4 defeat to Everton, while Norwich City are in good form after the surprise 2-0 victory over Manchester United at Carrow Road.

I predict this match to be a draw, but there will be goals in it. I think both teams will be trying to get a goal and cancel each other out. I'd like to know what the other members think what the result will be and any thoughts about the game.

Robert criticised the team and said that they were a worse team than they were last year.He said that the team was getting worse and worse.

For that outburst,Souness slammed him and it looked like a feud similar to the Bellamy one.

And I look forward to watching Norwich play Palace today.It will be very tense.

How'd u like my sig Ste?

The ultimate '6 pointer', both teams have to win, a draw no good to either. Palace's recent lack of points has coincided with AJ's recent lack of goals, which was always going to happen at some point throughout the season, just a shame it's happened at such a crucial stage. I fear the worst for Palace, I'm afraid...
As for Norwich, Worthington will have them buzzing and spirits will be high after last week's result. I can see them nicking all three points today in a close game. Probably Dean Ashton, who Palace tried to sign earlier this season, and Leon McKenzie, an old Palace player, getting the goals : .

I think Southampton,Palace,and Norwich will go down.

Fulham too might go down if they're not careful.I've been following their results and their recent form has been terrible.

 

[themuel1]

Come on Palace!!! (Best team in the bottom 4)

 

[gold639]

WBA have literally risen from the dead since Christmas.

What with last minute winners and last minute equalizers!

Which is why I feel they will stay up.

I also like Zoltan Gera

Ooh, scarey ! Sounded a terrific match, with AJ winning a dubious penalty to level things up. But in the words of Arsene Wenger, 'I didn't see it', so can't comment any further.

Nah the penalty looked like a peno to me for sure, he had a few others earlier in the game that were 50/50 but that one id say was for sure, he was lucky to get from the floor after it, he landed so weridly he could have borken his neck

Yeah he sort of bounced on his head. Liverpool again inconsistant, but what a goal from Erik Edman!!! Garcia's wasn't bad either!

<Match Prediction:
Newcastle United 0 Manchester United 2-scorers Van Nistelrooy (2)-1 pen

Remember this

? Number 4.

 

[themuel1]

grrr.....grrr....Damn I hate Liverpool fans lol

There's no denying that Liverpool USED to have a great side but their squad now is lacking somewhat.

The "remember this" bit was reminding about the way in which United won the cup, not that they won it, with that last miniute winner.

Anyways, United back to their best today beating Newcastle, mind you, Newcastle were not much competition.

Van Nistelrooy is clearly back and this should dismiss all of the stupid rumours about him leaving at the end of the season.

I must say even though we lost it was a cracking game. Although i think if we had a full strength side we may have possibly won.

 

[themuel1]

It was a cracking game, I must admit, I was a bit worried when Ameobi scored.

I'm not sure Newcastle would have won if they had a full strength side, but I think they would have run United close.
