Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [2 - 3rd February 2013]

Have Newcastle just won the league?

****ing feels like it!

Sissoko is an animal.

 

[J-FRO]

That's something we'd do though

MW

I have no idea what I even meant. "The hung"? what the?

Typically though, yes we are likely to lose. The baggies always seem to upset us somehow.

 

[Shamikebab]

Why did no-one else go in for Sissoko?

That toon match sent me through a whole range of emotions, lost my voice now. What a result. 6 points clear of the drop. Awful season so far but what a week for the toon

I wonder whether JohnnyG now agrees with me that players should go to ground if they're being fouled? At 2-2 Chelsea should have had a pen when Oscar was being pulled back but like always, as he didn't go to ground the ref didn't give it.

 

[pingwing]

Good god we need to play our best back line, switched off twice and threw away 2 key points, 88 mins being better than them and only come away with a point

there was. Juventus wanted him in the summer he turn down a move to marseille.

Well then that would be diving, so no.

By not diving, he cost his side a possible win. Until refs give fouls for challenges rather than reactions then I have no problem if a Liverpool player dives if he's being fouled.

Turned down the mighty QPR as well.

 

[Tom84]

Doesn't seem like anyone knows what our team actually is, ESPN say Jones is playing, MUTV say Evans. Seems Kagawa might or might not be on the bench as well

EDIT: Manutd.com say this

United: De Gea; Rafael, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra; Valencia, Carrick, Cleverley, Nani; Rooney, van Persie.
Subs: Amos, Anderson, Giggs, Smalling, Hernandez, Welbeck, Kagawa.

I'll go with that, ESPN suck

 

[Bigpig]

Turned down the mighty QPR as well.

Dont think they even bid. He made it clear to them he wanted to join LaToon

There was a News paper report a month or so before xmas from France claiming He had chose to Join Newcastle instead of Juventus for free this comming summer. Newcastle just moved the deal forward.

 

[Jono8]

Oh dear Chelsea. Wonder how much longer Benitez has to fumble along like this

 

[Moothead2]

But by diving he would be technically cheating. I do agree that refs need to do to a lot better at giving fouls when a player stays on his feet though. A striker having his shirt torn off his back from a corner should be giving a penalty for example.

 

[Shamikebab]

Come on Valencia. We know you're better than the useless melon you've been for the last few months.

 

[Loki]

Come on Valencia. We know you're better than the useless melon you've been for the last few months.

He has been toilet.

I think he is carrying an injury. Watched him against LFC and he really didn't want to take a player on

 

[meh?]

I think Nani will score today Well I hope

 

[Robbo]

ESPN pundits are going to town on De Gea.

 

[FrankJH]

I think Nani will score today Well I hope

after how many shots?

 

[meh?]

after how many shots?

10 or more LOL
