BelfastBloke's Rolling Footie Thread 2013-14 Season

[Pan]

The rolling Football thread for Season '13-14 might as well start off in the traditional way with the same intro as did the original rolling Football thread all those seasons ago. But with the new tradition of leaving the musty changing room of Dadsnet...
We've been top heavy with premiership stuff but it's really for any footie played on the planet and beyond.

Footie fans please sign in with

1. A thought on the season (Premiership/Championship/Champions? League/FA Cup/League Cup/all leagues world wide.)

Taking of seats in the auditorium. Bovril and pies all round, whilst Citeh get mauled by the Black Cats. So far so good.....

Mertesacker not playing in our superb defence today. Vermaalen in instead.

But Flamini is back to guard our defence against Kagawa Rooney and RVP.

Walcott is supposedly available today, but let's stick with the players who clearly know what they are doing.

Citeh players kicking Sunderland players in frustration during injury time, when they should be focussing on clawing a point back.

Come on Man U - never thought I'd be wanting them to win!

Well that was all v satisfying. No-one has mentioned the effect of 'nerves' in the game - Arse seemed more affected by them with more stray passes.
We also have Fletch on the edge of a comeback.
Next up Cardiff away with Arse home to Southampton - BB and I can swop notes there mono y mono!
Game def. back on.

Get in there !! We always beat City one nil. Could write a match report for the Pie and Bovril lads but I'm too busy with housework. I know my place.

What a fantastic run of results this weekend - that's shaken things up a bit hasn't it ?

I was listening to Talk Sport on my way home tonight and they were discussing the impending name change of Hull City to Hull Tigers.
Apparently the new owner wants to make the change for a number of reasons - firstly for merchandising and commercial purposes and secondly because he "thinks City sounds common"

oooh a footy thread

just marking my (penalty) spot

What team is claret and amber? Bolton? Isn't that the Harry Potter scarf?

I'm taking a wild guess at Bradford City - from whom the Mighty Sky Blues will be garnering 3pts from shortly. On Sky!

is there a collective noun for 'froms'?

Sorry, I meant Bradford. Had a brain fart.

*"from who the Mighty Sky Blues will be garnering 3pts shortly."

"Who replaces they and whom replaces them. Split it into two sentences to see which is correct: "They are a team. We will be collecting from them" - ergo "whom".
Because of the complicating factor of team, however, from which is also ok."

just quoting someone else....

Yes, we're suffering a slump in form at the moment so you'll (Cov) 'll probably batter us

but hey! we're gunna be on the telly box.

Aww, my DH has bought me hospitality tickets for Liverpool v Arsenal for my birthday!

I couldn't get any tickets under the membership scheme so this is great!

Aw, now thats warm and fuzzy!

Just read someone describing O'Neil and Keane as "Bad cop and worse cop".

1.Which team you support. Wolves
2.Which team(s) you loathe. West Brom
3.How you are getting your kids to follow the correct team. My 7 year old likes Man Utd! Both me & my dad have taken him to Wolves games though so I still think he'll come round!

1. A thought on the season (Premiership/Championship/Champions’ League/FA Cup/League Cup/all leagues world wide.) I just want us to get out of League One right now, it's not fun. And West Brom to be relegated! I think Chelsea will win the league.

another Wolves fan! C'mon me babbies! Welcome Vikki!
Taking DS (4) to his first ever wolves game on the 22nd against Brentford, very excited. it'll be my first game seeing wolves in La Liga too.
Wolves ay we!

WE ARE WOLVES WE ARE WOLVES WE ARE WOOOLVES!

Nice to know I'm not on my own Paleodad Well done on starting DS young, I tried the same with DS1 (he's still resisting so far) & my dad did the same with me! I might try introducing DS2 next season - hopefully better football then.

I've only been to 2 games this season & we didn't win either! Third time lucky I'm sure.

With the tedium of international footie hitting the pause button, we can re-focus on where the real excitement is at - La Liga 1!

Wolves should pick up points against Notts Co,. with or without Robert Plant playing for them...and poss go top...

and the game of the weekend is Sunday, Bradford v Coventry 3pm. If EVERYTHING goes according to plan, Sky Blues could be in the play off places by the time Stars on Sunday is on.

no bobby plant, but we are top of the league
this has cheered me up no end after being stuck on a very deppressing thread in aibu today!

Congrats to Wolves. It's a marathon this footie league thing isn't it?

Pan, did I tell you that Richard Keogh (formerly Coventry City) is a sort of relative of mine by marriage? I don't know him though, so no idea what he's like!!?
