Manchester United look good at 4-0 but they will be facing tougher opposition than QPR,
Such as M.K Dons

...oh, no, wait...

PansOtherPeople · 16/09/2014 19:07

I think we've got a fair to middling chance of staying up now....

DanFmDorking · 21/09/2014 16:01

How do you make a match against Man U interesting?

Give them a two goal start.

BelfastBloke · 21/09/2014 23:17

What is the difference between the English and Welsh football teams ?
Wales has more world-class players.

All these jokes about Raheem Sterling are making me tired.

My vacuum cleaner packed up so I wrapped it up in a Sunderland scarf.
Now it sucks again.

Sunderland were unlucky, by all accounts, for a good hour, it looked like it could go either way.
Sadly that was at 2.00pm.

PanIsNotAButterfly · 25/10/2014 09:36

Man U v Chelsea. Apart from the Mourinho/van Gaal love-in, I'll still be watching through fingers......though a City buddy reckons we have a good chance - they have an old man at the back, no left back and a suddenly limited strike force. There Will Be Goals.Grin

primarynoodle · 06/11/2014 00:28

  1. CITTTTYYY!

  2. united, chelsea, Sunderland (dp is a toon) and derby

  3. dont have them but ensuring siblings are being taught the songs and watching the games

  4. city will come 2nd... those chelsea wankers will win and up until 2 weeks ago I thought this was promotion year for forest but not now

just been to the etihad to watch city get slaughtered by moscow Sad was horrible to watch!

Picturesinthefirelight · 06/11/2014 00:34

Ds supports city (despite living in stoke & having been indoctrinated into stoke city by his grandad

I let him stay up to watch the match. Even visited a betting sho fir the first time ever to put a bet on Aguero to score & city to win

As a neutral even I found it painful to watch. What was the ref on?

I taught dh a new phrase tonight, one I told him he must never ever say in school

I was always a Port Vale fan myself as a teen, I went regularly at one time but have been deduced by my dads nice comfy corporate seats at Stoke with a me beforehand on the few occasions I'm able to go.

primarynoodle · 06/11/2014 00:46

absolutely disgusting decisions from the ref especially agueros card!

although having seen toure's red.... Blush

mankyscotslass · 01/01/2015 21:27

What a match! Chelsea v Spurs has to be up there with the best of the season. Kane is going to be a pivotal player for Spurs.

Following the announcement that Steven Gerrard is leaving at the end of the season, Liverpool FC's credit rating has been downgraded from AAA, to AAA Calm Down Calm Down.

A shock result in the FA Cup as Cambridge United failed to secure a win over massive underdogs Manchester United.

Louis Van Gaal isn't the first person to leave Cambridge with an education.

What do Jose Mourihno and Manuel Pellegrini have in common?
Both know a facup when they see one.

Jose Mourinho, Manuel Pellegrini, and Louis Van Gaal are in a pub,
"I'll get another round in," said Van Gaal.

Butkin · 25/01/2015 21:58
  1. Cambridge United
  2. Peterborough United and West Ham (only whilst managed by "big" Sam)
  3. Bought DD the shirt for her 5th birthday and took her whilst she was too young to know better! At least now she thinks it is vaguely cool to support Cambridge as her teachers ask her about the team (rather than yapping on about Premiership teams that are 100s of miles away from us).
  4. Middle table this year but building for the future with a really good management team.

Hi everyone! Only just found this topic, I inherited my love of sports from my Grandma Smile

  1. My team: Preston North End
  2. Loath: Blackpool! Grin
  3. DD picks a team to support based on the colour they wear, but will support Preston on the rare occasions we play on tv.
  4. Thoughts on the season - We've had an appalling January, need to sign a striker tomorrow that is actually capable of scoring goals in league 1.

We could do with winning our FA cup replay and getting a game against Man Utd (or Cambridge!!) for some extra cash. Oh, and I hate the play offs, as we are officially the worst team ever when it comes to them.

I don't really pay too much attention to the Prem other than for my fantasy football team Smile

borisgudanov · 18/02/2015 19:44

OK.

  1. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee-GLES!
  2. Brighton and Hove Albion. Millwall. Clowntown.
  3. "Daddy, why do you keep swearing and shouting 'GET IN!'?". Hopeless. Being 400 miles from Selhurst Park hardly helps. Albion Rovers anyone? Err, right.
  4. What's a 'squad'? I don't think we've had one of those before.
Seff · 21/02/2015 08:53

Well, Rooney felt he had to cheat with an offside goal and a dive to beat lowly league 1 Preston Wink But those few minutes after going 1-0 up were great, reminded me of going 2-0 up against Arsenal many years ago now (we went on to get beat 4-2, but little details like that don't matter!)

But, our cup journeys are all over now - let's go for promotion!

DanFmDorking · 26/02/2015 02:38

So Qatar 2022 is going to be held in November and December.
Or for England, November.

It was nice of Madonna to pay a fitting tribute to Steven Gerard.

SpiderDan · 05/03/2015 19:18

1.I support Man United
2.As another poster has put.......Mourinho.........He REALLY winds me up the wrong way....
3.Don't have kids just yet but I'd like them to follow a "local" club before getting stuck with the "big glory hunter teams"

  1. A thought on the season - Well.......where do we start? Blackpool........going to be relegated. Man U? Deserve to be relegated, even if to get rid of the manager. Another one to get on my nerves, why can't they just put Giggsy in charge and work with him to build the team? Chelski and City are just money bags(as are united I agree but I don't like the team the money has made for united these past couple seasons). Liverpool and Southampton are teams that are worth watching at the minute.....

Stephen Gerrard now sponsored by the Post Office,
... promoting 1st class stamps.

Steven Gerrard is to star along side Nicolas Cage in a new Hollywood blockbuster sequel,
... gone in 50 seconds.

Steven Gerrard sent on at half time to change the game.
Brilliant plan Brendan, he certainly did.

Last day, so here we go ...

... and now it's the end of another season and we have to wait another two months for the football to restart.
Unless you're a Liverpool fan, and you've been waiting since last August.

"Steve Gerrard, after an emotional last game against Stoke have you anything to say to the fans?"
"Yeah, thank God I don't play for those useless fucks anymore."

Not sure what that thing with wings is on the Liverpool badge but it looks like a sick swan to me.

Best of luck to Steven Gerrard, who retired in 2014 from the England international scene after not winning the World Cup and is now retiring from the Liverpool team in 2015 after not winning the Premier League.
What a great double.

Steven Gerrard will become a "great manager" when he retires from playing, according to ex-Liverpool boss Gerard Houllier.
The Bootle branch of Lidl already has a reserved parking space with his name on it.

All the League winners this season begin with the letter B Conference North - Barrow. Conference South - Bromley. Conference - Barnet, League Two - Burton. League One - Bristol City. Championship - Bournemouth. Premier League - Boring Chelsea.

A millionaire from Nigeria has announced that he's interested in taking over Arsenal Football Club.
Unfortunately, he has no way of getting his money to this country, so he needs a few willing Arsenal fans to email back with their sort code and account number...

Farewell Hull, Burnley and QPR
Welcome Bournemouth and Watford, good luck!

... and of course welcome back Norwich.

Star Wars auditions are being held in Norwich.
The producers figure they won't have to spend any of the budget on make up.
