Yea! *claps muelio*



mmmmmm yes it was m_vaughan. You said Zola, Gullit and Wise, that was like 95-96. Football started on sky in 92. Birth of the Premiership! Glory Hunter!!!

JamesyJames3, English Football was first shown on TV here in 1996. And even then they used to generally show Man U, Liverpool and Blackburn games. I barely got to see any Chelsea games that season. Infact I was made aware of the existence of the club by my first cousin who stays in Hounslow.

Where do you live? English football was first shown in 1992. I watched the first ever premiership match forest v liverpool!!

He lives in the UAE, it's got the information on his profile next to his posts.

Well i saw that Muel but I thought it may be a joke as he supports Chelsea and Warwickshire? Bit strange.

 

[m_vaughan]

Yup I might be the only Bears fan who hates BCFC

You will be pleased to know the bears after a collapse have recovered to a respectable 105-4 off 24 overs!

Good wins for Chelsea, Arsenal and ofcourse Man Utd ( Champions League ).

Seriously ManUtd, has to improve their defence alot. As the EPL is hotting up and Champions League entering the Group phase, I think ManUtd will have to think twice of their defence to have any chances of winning it. Also i felt VanNistelRooy is still away from his best.

Chelsea r coming into form slowly, yesterday they showed class act. Wright-Phillips looks like a class player, he was brilliant yesterday. Though it was Lampard's goal which broke the deadlock. I liked the way, they celebrated Lampard's GOAL.

Arsenal too won easily, thought i couldnt see that match, but i read Henry showed his class.

What's happenning to Newcastle United ? Why r they performing below par ? They lost to Bolton yesterday 2 - 0. Hope Owen brings back their lost pride.

I think we are heading for a great season ahead. Wish ManUtd overcomes all the problems and win the league and Champions League :upray

Good double to Henry!

 

[gold639]

Great performance by Lampard

 

[sachin]

Great(unexpected more like it!!!( double by Cygan

Right how good will it be if Owen joined the toon. I mean what a partnership that would be between Owen and Shearer. They did great together for England so i can't see why they can't do it for my beloved toon.

If he comes here watch the goals start rolling in.
