Football 18-20 December *SPOILERS*

Nunez and Josemi certainly weren't given time :confused: Morientes only had 18months and you can hardly blame him for that, he had the potential to be a great signing.

He played them both more than once and more than once was too much time as far as I'm concerned.

No one can blame Benitez for Morientes, he just didn't settle, but he was given far more time than his performances at the time deserved.
 
You have to remember that Josemi started really well and was almost forced to play rb as Finnan started the season as a rm (because Nunez picked up a knee injury before the season kicked-off). As soon as Nunez was fit and the likes of Garcia settled Finnan went straight back to rb and Nunez started occasionally on the right, mainly down to injuries where Garcia had to play off the striker as either Gerrard or Alonso were injured for the best part of the season (when everyone was fit it was Alonso + Hamann in the middle with Gerrard off the striker and Garcia + Riise out wide).
 
The draw:

Chelsea vs Everton

Arsenal vs Spurs


Poo :/ re run of last year possible.
In the last 8 semi-final draws containing Spurs and Arsenal we've been drawn together 7 times. (the only time we didn't get drawn together was the 1999 FA Cup semi's)

What are the odds of that? What do you reckon to the fact of rigged draws and not wanting a potential nightmare to police with a Spurs v Arsenal final??

Glad we get the 2nd leg at WHL :)
 
I'm really optimistic about this one i reckon spurs will make it to the final
(if Ramos finally sorts the back out by then)

Sorry I really cant see that happening

Its really only likely that Chelsea and Arsenal get to the final - really was hoping for Everton to draw Spurs and then the final might have been interesting
 
Deserved Chelsea win me thinks. Very strange behavior from Crouch I must say.

Basically we just never had a strong enough squad out. When Crouch went off we where only left with Babel who could possibly pose a threat. But along comes Benitez and show shows us his managerial skillz :p

Momo was freakishly awful as usual (I just hope Benitez sees this...) Hobbs aint ready for first team football, but he has potential. And Voronin simply isn't good enough at a high level, I think he has a head for football, but he has no natural or technical ability... and quite frankly I think he's a bit lazy.

Positives to take:

Carrager played really well. Did you see him mouth "Jammy B******" when Frank got the deflection? Lol

I thought our keeper played really well except for the Shevchenko goal. It was dissapointing but he should take a lot of positives from his performance IMO.

Alonso is back!

I thought i was the only one who saw that. I was in stitches. There was real spite there as well, must've been thinking "that **** always gets a deflection then runs off like an arrogant ****** who thinks hes the best player in the world. I should smash his face in"...
 
Thread title edited to include tonights UEFA Cup games :)

19:45 AZ Alkmaar v Everton - Five
19:45 Aberdeen v FC Copenhagen - BBC2 Scotland
 
Everton are resting Cahill, Arteta, Howard, Yobo and Yakubu ahead of our game on Sunday, so I can't see tonights games being much of a classic.
 
I hope you're not being serious about it as if you are you've missed the whole point of the sig, there are much better pics I could've used:)
And Rooney is really ugly, I know you have bedsheets with his face on but he's not everyone's cup of tea;)
