Guest Slarth Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Van of masked men attack paperazzi outside of Ryan Giggs home on Sky News, it's becoming the story that just doesn't end or is this Ryan Giggs way of getting his own back? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 ZonalMarking have an article on the myth of Bolton's attractive football. Now, if you consider keeping possession and playing short passes to be attractive, its interesting to see how 'long ball hoofers' Newcastle compare to 'Brazil 1970' Sunderland. http://www.zonalmarking.net/2011/05/24/bolton-owen-coyle-style-of-football/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I'm still utterly disgusted thet we were bottom of that fair play league. What a farce. Indeed and yet (I'm sure it's been discussed before), the likes of Chelsea and Man U are higher despite their constant harassment at the referees during games.

Guest Loven11 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 MANAGERS' TEAM OF DECADE GK: Edwin van der Sar RB: Gary Neville CB: Nemanja Vidic CB: John Terry LB: Ashley Cole RM: Cristiano Ronaldo CM: Steven Gerrard CM: Paul Scholes LM: Ryan Giggs S: Didier Drogba S: Alan Shearer http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/9495163.stm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I would take Henry over Shearer or Drogba if you are meaning 2000-2009/10. Also absurd that 2008 Man U are the team of the decade over 2003-2004 Arsenal and 2004-2005 Chelsea. Both those sides destroyed most everything in their path domestically.

Guest Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 The 2008 side had a Champions League trophy to back up their league title win though, and that front 3 of Tevez, Ronaldo and Rooney. That's as good as it gets in this league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's as good as it gets in this league. Except for that one season that Arsenal never lost a match? To me that's much more of an achievement than just having a great front three.

Guest Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 It was more than just a good front 3 mind. I'd take them to beat the Arsenal invincibles. Plus that will always be tainted in my eyes because of that blatant Pires dive which robbed Portsmouth (I think?) of a win there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though it might have been the year before the Tevez/Rooney/Ronaldo triumvirate? EDIT: several years before the triumvirate, infact. Dunno what i'm on about. Meh.

mattypnufc Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Metro radio on twitter claiming 5under1and season tickets offered more value for money than ours. safc 9th nufc 17th Hmmm. I'd love to see how they worked that out. I suppose this equation may help: Free tickets + 7 wins + 25 goals = better value than £390 (cheapest adult student ticket) + 6 wins + 41 goals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
