English & European Football [17th - 22nd Apr 2010] **spoilers**

[Shamikebab]

Giggs with an appalling free kick, why is he playing?!?

Clear solution, Giggs off for Ireland

 

[Shamikebab]

Kompany has been kicking Rooney all game.

 

[Bucket]

Nani, Carrick, Berba on please.

 

[Tummy]

Ireland imo, is a great player in the making.

Don't understand why he isn't playing every game for City.

He's a bit of a nutter as well, which is always good

 

[shipinabottle]

I've grown to really like Bellamy and rate him more as a player.

His attitude to the game, basically that he gives 110% to every game and just wants to win, is something to be admired, I know he's a mouthy **** at times but he's a decent player.

Love some of his interviews as well

definitly, i think hes a fantastic player. yes hes mouthy. and can cause a bit of a mess off the pitch at times. but hes such a talent. hes the only player in the man city team im generally scared of making something today.

giggs to the glue factory please!

*and as i say that bellamy messes up *

 

[Robbo]

Nani is ready to come on, about time.

 

[Loki]

Nani, Mickey Phelan, Berba on please.

Corrected for Truth

 

[Shamikebab]

lol at Johnson just holding onto Valencia "come back!"

 

[Tummy]

Good old Bellamy!

Naaaani

 

[Shamikebab]

Where was Neville there when Bellamy was through?? Oh yeah he was 20 ******* yards behind him trying to run, why didn't Rafael play.

 

[Tummy]

I've seen a lot of Given, and I still don't rate him as highly as everyone else seems to.

 

[Shamikebab]

Nani on for Gibson, why not Giggs

 

[Robbo]

Nani on for Gibson, why not Giggs

He's probably putting Nani or Giggs up front with Rooney, sitting just behind him.

Done that before.

 

[Loki]

I've seen a lot of Given, and I still don't rate him as highly as everyone else seems to.

He is a very good shot stopper and is very agile but I think he lacks a little of size to make him truly intimidating at 1 on 1's

 

[Bucket]

I could still see Given being the difference in a tie like this (same for VDS) if we could actually frigging shoot at the goal.

 

[Shamikebab]

Neville gives City a needless freekick

 

[CliffyBiro]

Hope Bale is fit for today.

Some awesome stats:

'Avram (Grant, the Portsmouth manager) had the stats and he couldn’t believe the distance he covered.’

Over the full 120 minutes Bale sprinted a remarkable 1,011m — equivalent to running almost 10 lengths of the Wembley pitch at full pelt — as he covered nearly 15km (nine miles).

His work-rate (running at more than 21km or 13miles an hour) was nearly double that of the average Premier League full back.

 

[Shamikebab]

Giggs....i think that was a clearance rather than a shot

 

[Loki]

Everyone keeps saying this is a must win for Utd but the pressure is equally on Siddy as well. They need to keep this winning run going to make sure 4th is theres

 

[Tummy]

He is a very good shot stopper and is very agile but I think he lacks a little of size to make him truly intimidating at 1 on 1's

I don't see that as being a big issue (see what I did there )

I think he lacks a command of his area, He's a good shot stopper, but if he could have a presence and organise his defence better he wouldn't need to save so many shots.

Anyway, back to the game
