Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread (and FA Cup) ** spoilers ** [23rd - 27th March 2012]

Crouch will never score a goal as good as that again

Stunning strike.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Yep, 'hoof up to the big man up top' has worked wonders for England hasn't it.

Great comeback. Doesn't really hide the fact that playing football on the floor with out and out strikers hasn't worked either.

I get where you are coming from. The updates on sky were beyond good taste. "Sky sources: Muamba has said something to someone but remains a cough and splutter away from death. Stay tuned for more pointless info"

I find the amount of coverage it has gotten quite disproportionate. Soldiers dying on the front lines get less coverage than this. I mean hell, he didn't even die.

Gary Speed was another farce too. He was a well known guy in the football world, but it just got taken too far.

 

[Stewy]

Hart was a good 2 feet away from the shot as well, unbelievably good strike.

 

[One More Solo]

How can Platt be moaning about being 1 nil down to Crouch's golazo when the only goal they scored came from a deflected 35 yard shot?

England resort to route one more often then not in International finals. It's not worked since '66 and even then, that side played pretty ~alright football.

Englands problems are numerous, the 'Roy of the Rovers' media hype is crippling, the poor standard of players (obviously with exceptions) hasn't helped, the FA don't help, tactics and styles of Football at International level have left England behind.

Spain didn't win the World Cup because they had a 6ft striker on the bench. I think for League football, it's okay to have that choice, but not at International level. It's easy and predictable.

/Anyway, I don't want to take this off topic.

Shearer makes Dixon look like an absolute Newton of a pundit.

 

[Stewy]

I love that everyone does the poznan against City

edit: How was Yaya's a great strike? It's a regulation save apart from the massive deflection it gets...

Suarez really is an odious wee *****.

 

[Tummy]

Handball

 

[One More Solo]

Oh my word, all Suarez had to do was touch that in with his chest. What a prat.

 

[Stewy]

Suarez really is an odious wee *****.

was thinking exactly that.

He could easily have headed / shouldered / chested that...

edit: lol composure from Caldwell there to fake the shot on his left and slot.

 

[Azza]

lol Carroll

 

[Nate75]

fans of football clubs really respect Suarez - class act

If ever there was an example of nailing your colours to the wrong mast its Liverpool and Suarez.

"Lets defend a **** at all costs"


Notable mention to Man City for attempting to take the heat off the situation by doing the exact same thing with you know who.

Does the changing of the clocks tonight mean that Tevez is closer to his family in Argentina??!!

But remember we're only talking about him because is he so awesome and we are scared.

 

[Stewy]

That ball from Song was phenomenal, when did he become the black Pirlo...?

Absolutely! His behaviour could result in a kit deal with the KKK and as we all know merchandise is worth more than trophies.

 

[Caseh]

That ball from Song was phenomenal, when did he become the black Pirlo...?

No idea, but long may it continue!

 

[Matteysan]

Stunning goal for Crouch that is.

 

[Gooner14]

That ball from Song was phenomenal, when did he become the black Pirlo...?

8 assists this season, not bad for a defensive midfielder. Only Valencia (11) and Adebayor (10) have more assists from open play.
