Football 2013-2014

Agreed. Makes Derby's performance even greater then

[ThomThomDrum]

Believe it or not but tonight's game can have some form of impact as to who wins the league.

If Arsenal slip up they may give Everton a bit more pep in their step against City, as they will play before Arsenals game against West Brom (who are not 100% safe, so may be tough) and would be looking to go ahead of them before the Gunners play next week.

So obviously if Everton are up for the City game and put in a performance, Chelsea or Liverpool could capitalise.

Problem with this is the Gunners will kill Newcastle tonight

[thetime]

you're only saying that cos you hope to do it next year.

Pisstakes aside, from what the papers are saying there seems to have been a bit too much belief within the Utd boardroom in the idea that it's easy to win from 7th. There's stuff going around that Utd are going to appoint someone with a "you will win the league" clause in their contract - which bis laughable.

[thetime]

Must be the sportsmanship Rodgers was on about.

All paper talk isn't it?

Perhaps, but perhaps it shows the reality of the Glaze3rs desperate financial situation. We don't get to find out quite how desperate they might be for money until it shows itself in a meaningful way.

Fergies not going anywhere so will need someone with experience and a big personality.

either that, or someone who is happy to be undermined by a bunch of self-important has-beens.

BTW, I know Utd won with a comfortable result at the weekend, but were they actually any good?

(I didn't see the match)

I've heard a lot of celebration with the scoreline, but nothing about "they played like they used to". How was it really?

[Wooderson]

Haha come on now I'm sure you have been given them lots of stick all season.

Have to say 7th to 1st to win the title has be a fantastic accomplishment, greatest team to win the premier league and all that.

[ThomThomDrum]

Utd did not do anything outstanding. If anything the game panned out the way it did because Norwich looked as if they couldn't give a fuck and Utd players who didnt give a fuck most of the season suddenly did.

Giggs dropping Mata was strange IMO. Mata showed him how wrong he was on that call when he came on

[Wooderson]

What exactly did the ref bottle?

[zahidf]

Think his management of the time wasting was weak, to use the parlance of this thread.

Couldve started throwing yeller cards around much quicker for some of the pisstaking.

Not that it did us much good as was proven by when yee scored the first!

[thetime]

Maybe its just yer common or garden Utd meathead over here but they take FAR more joy in an LFC defeat than any success of their own. Modern footie is strange like that.

[DomDom1984]

Aye, a large number of Man United may take a stupid amount of joy in a Liverpool defeat. But that's because they have a large number of supporters in the first place.

Show me a team that doesn't have a comparable amount of idiots among their support, and I'll show you my ten foot wong.

[TheGayTent]

Not really. Teams jumped from lower to 1st etc back then. They haven't gone from anywhere lower than 3rd to 1st recently.

[Wooderson]

I take it your tongue is firmly in your cheek.

[Wooderson]

There's no doubt Liverpool's improvement is an achievement worthy of some plaudits, but it's been OTT as far as I'm concerned.

[TheGayTent]

The noble suffering of West Ham fans in recent years hasnt been lauded enough on this forum. I for one support their plight. Arbiters of finesse and all thats "right" about the game being managed by a fucking wildebeast like Samuel. Poor hoors.

[Wooderson]

Surely its all part of being a football laughing when your rivals fuck it up ? Be a bit stale if that wasnt the case...

[DomDom1984]

Fair point Barry, but the rivals messing up should never be more important than your own team's success.

[DomDom1984]

Hold on... you came out with that pish because people were posting gifs? Am I reading this wrong?!

[ThomThomDrum]

Or it was the kick up the arse he needed ?

[Wooderson]

I'm not surprised you support our plight. If you're ever to win the title again you need us more than anyone. Can't believe there's many top flight teams that haven't beaten you at Anfield since 1963
