TRon Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 This is all building up to one of my best days as a football fan: Barcelona thumping Man Utd in the CL final. Here's really, really hoping. Just like they did last year, and against Chelsea... Still waiting to see them SCORE against a decent team. 3 matches that they thoroughly controlled and conceded only 1 goal, and you decide that they haven't scored against a decent team? Obviously my credibility is at stake tomorrow Man U last season and Chelsea this year have basically parked the bus in front of the goal against Barcelona. Man u did it home and away, and I expect Chelsea will be pretty defensive at home as well tomorrow. I don't blame them, but it speaks volumes about their fear of going toe to toe against Barca in an attacking contest. But it's not about an attacking contest is it? Surely it's about coming out as winners of the cup tie? That's true, but it's not the point I was making. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I struggle to think of a weaker Real Madrid I've ever seen than the current one, even the 1995 version that got destroyed at home to Ajax had Redondo and a young Raul. If they can win 17 out of 18 games with a back four of Ramos, Cannavaro, Pepe, Heinze it doesn't say much for the competition. Sevilla are 18 points behind for christ's sake. What part of that back four is supposed to be unimpressive? I mean, Pepe's a nutjob yes, but other than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinmk Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Real are missing a couple of leaders. They look to the likes of Raul but he has never been an out and out leader for me. Bunch of fascist bastards anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Petay Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Has anyone picked up on the fact that Arsenal fans started to cry off after 60 minutes, pretty pathetic really. We have a terrible season (on the back of several years of depressing seasons) and the media seem to revel in the fact we don't quite make 50,000. Those tossers run out on a team that has made it to the Champions League semi final after 60 minutes and not one member of the press seems to give a toss.

Delima Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Darren Ferguson is horribly overrated and they aren't that great a side. What happened last time we played Leeds? I forget. Our squad is/was s*** when Rodgers took over, all we had is Tommy Smith. The rest of our players were playing/were terrible. You had/have a squad of good players potentially capable of beating most sides on your day. Sides coming down, I don't give a crap about them. Other than West Brom, I can assure you that any other side coming down will more than likely have issues with adjusting to the different demands of the Championship and the sheer shock of every team upping their game to play against them. (Unless Hull go down, in which case they'll do s*** anyway). It's not as though Charlton, Southampton, Norwich, Leeds, Crystal Palace, Derby, Sheffield United etc. bounced straight back up with no problem whatsoever, is it? With the right stuff done in the summer regarding transfers, we will be challenging for play-offs, at least we should be. I've seen us get into the top 6 of the CCC before, I'm pretty sure I know what it takes. Big names are not necessarily it. A stable manager, consistent team and team spirit, with a couple of quality players and a solid squad will put you in contention for a good Championship finish. This is fact. We should have stability next season under Rodgers, he plays football the right way and has got a lot out of some s*** players. Unless we have a severely disappointing season, top 10 really shouldn't be out of our grasp. The likes of Burnley, Swansea etc. don't have 'outstanding' players, they are simply stable. Same with Preston this season, in the play-offs. Either way, if we do fail to succeed and retain Danny Rose, it'll probably all be his fault anyway. Agree with most of your post except that: 1. Chris Eagles is an outstanding player in the Championship. Martin Paterson is not bad either. Steven Caldwell and Graham Alexander. 2. Swansea - Jason Scotland, Ferrie Bodde, Jordi Gómez Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I meant in the sense that you don't need a team of superstars. Eagles is something of a poser, top player in the Championship, but personally I think he's a twat. Paterson is a good striker, wouldn't call him spectacular though. Caldwell and Alexander are nothing more than really solid Championship players, Alexander has been in that league for a while. Scotland is imo, shit. Bodde is top class and Gomez isn't half-bad either. But then, I'd say that McAnuff, Smith, Priskin (pushing it) and Cowie are all players that 'on form' and having a good season could be considered outstanding Championship players. DeMerit and Rasiak are proven Championship men and Loach + Jenkins can do nothing but develop. I honestly think we have a great chance next season.

Thanks for agreeing with me that Chris Eagle is a top player in the championship. Wouldn't disagree with you that a club does not need a team of superstars in the Championship. But better to have some than not. I only realised quite recently that Lee Williamson the ex-Watford player has left for another club. Always thought he is a good player for Watford and a good find for Andy Boothroyd. In my opinion McAnuff is unreliable, Smith a hardworking medicore player, Priskin not sure how to describe him. An enigma ? How is Will Hoskins doing ? Always thought that he has the talent to succeed in the Championship. Yet I have completely lost tracked of him.

Lee Williamson is a good player, but didn't fit into Rodgers' system. I hope we keep him, if not, we will get a decent price. McAnuff is unreliable, generally, but since Rodgers has arrived him, Doyley, DeMerit, Priskin and a few other shit/inconsistent players have really shone. He's been one of our better players in the second half of the season, high on confidence and is really looking better for it. I'd disagree completely that Smith is mediocre, he's head and shoulders above anyone in our side and is one of the top 15 or so players in the Championship. To have got so many goals from the wing this season, in a side that was struggling when he got the majority of his goals is damn impressive. Priskin has started scoring for fun, despite being shit, it's quite promising. Him and Rasiak appear to be forming a partnership that is probably enviable for 2/3 of the Championship. Hoskins attitude on the training pitch has let him down I think. Doesn't get given enough games, but when he plays puts in the effort and does quite well. Wouldn't be surprised if we sold him, but I'd like him to stay. Definitely has potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
