(This is mostly for lem0n)
Are you looking forward to this weekends end to the EPL? Do you think Chelsea can grab it?
Or have you give into the inevitable!? :twisted:
Looking forward to the 21st!
-
I dont think youll drop points at Wigan for gods sake. You couldnt be up against Liverpool or anything could you! :P
Nah even if Chelsea beat Bolton it wont make any difference. The league is yours barring a miracle.
Though i think we stand a #$&*@! good chance at beating you in the Champions League final.
-
I am looking forward to that game... although I am glad we arent playing Liverpool. I know we probably would have beaten them, but the flak I would have to put with for an eternity from those #$&*@! Scousers would be unbearable!
-
Tell me about it theres nothing worse than losing to a d_a_m_n scouser.
Well congrats TJ thought its no surprise. We'll have you in moscow. :mrgreen:
-
I'm anticipating it with baited breath!! I want Terry and Drogba fit, I dont want any excuses if we win!
-
I want Terry and Drogba fit so we win. We're knackered without JT in defense, and Drogba was immense against pool in CL semi final 2nd leg.
-
I think its going to be heated, I'm picturing at least one red card (probably Scholes!)
-
Dunno about that but there could well be.
Gonna be bloody tense though!
-
This is true, gonna be on the edge of my seat for 90+ minutes!
-
Our old Van der Sar...at his age becomming EPL champion ánd maybe winner of the CL.....how cool would that be. But other than that -and I know it is a bit painful for you England blokes- in less than 4 weeks the European Championship starts!! Woohoo. But we're in a very tough group. Italy, France and Rumania.......
-
Argh I thought no one would mention Euro 2008!! What a nightmare, best league domestically but cant qualify past Russia....
-
Now whydya have to go and bring that up GE?
Tbh i have nothing against the Dutch football team and wouldnt be gutted if they went on to win it. They have a good enough team for it but they always under perform. Hope you beat the italians anyway.
-
I hope you're right, and sorry I'm just excited about Euro2008...If we're able to make it through our group we have a very good chance at winning the thing. Would be nice, exactly 20 years after we won the event. I don't know what it is with us, we always have good players, but we always fail to finish. We should have won in 1998 and 2000, when Bergkamp led us.....Such a shame that a player like him never won a real price....
-
Its like Spain, quality players that just cant win.... Is that Liverpool we are talking about?
-
Yeah luckily for us Dutch people there is Spain. Each tournement they look promising but they always underachieve.....
-
That is a weird thing, if someone said the words "under-achievers" id instantly think Spain. Looking at the squad this year AGAIN id say they should do well. Torres should fire them through. But you never know.
-
Torres should be able to do some wonderful things, but David Villa as well.....It is marvelous how Torres did it in his first year PL. It is promising for next year. I think, and hope that the 4 best squads in england will make it an even more exciting year. It is strange how Liverpool is doing well in th CL, but not too well in the PL, even though they have Babel and Kuyt :clown:
-
Sorry GE, Babel is good yeah and has great potential but Kuyt is shockingly bad. I know he had an awesome record when he played in the Netherlands but for liverpool he cant hit a barn door. Hes awful.
-
Sorry GE, Babel is good yeah and has great potential but Kuyt is shockingly bad. I know he had an awesome record when he played in the Netherlands but for liverpool he cant hit a barn door. Hes awful.
I'm not a Kuyt fan myself either. He works hard, but he is very limited as a player, hence the clownface ;) But I just heared that Seedorf doesn't want to go to Euro2008 because of lack of convidence....too bad, too bad indeed!
-
You want him there? He's like a hundred years old, how many europeans championships has he been in now? Ok he has experience but hes not getting any better as he ages. Plus AC Milan have had an awful season. Out of the CL by Arsenal, may finish 5th in Serie A and not even qualify for the CL next year. Dont blame him for having no confidence.
-
he's only just got 32, so he's not that old. But he had an inmpressive entrance in Europe. At age 18 he won the CL. So for the past 13/14 (!) years he is acting at the highest levels of football. Ofcourse Milan has got a awful season, but I am pretty confident they maintain the 4th possition. He is a steady factor in that team and I think he can be a key character in our Dutch Squad.....
-
When you have young talent like rafael van der vaart and ryan babel and huntelaar why do you need seedorf!? Crazy! You can have skill not experience!
-
don't forget Wesley Sneijder, Robben, Van Persie who (can) all act from the midfield. But I really think, to balance the team, we need a controlling midfielder with a lot of experience....But I think in 2010 we are able to become the worldchampion with these names......ahhhh, sweet dreams.....
-
Well of course i wasnt going to name them all, i love robben as he was a Chelsea player!
But i think you could win euro 2008, you have the potential just depends on if you can break the jinx of under achieveing like spain.
Im not so sure you can win the world cup....
-
if italy can, so can we.....It would be so great to have Arsene as coach. I know that you love Chelsea, but Arsene is a coach in the line of our tradition. He is dedicated to show that with beautiful football you can win games. I would love to see that, for I really love beautiful football.....
-
for I really love beautiful football.....
Its because its truly awesome.....
-
yeah, but the tendency nowadays with the high interests is that result is holy, and that the way to achieve result isn't interesting. Boring, lurking footbal is the result. PSV became yet again the champion of the Netherlands, but they are sooooooo boring, and lucky too. Always out to control the game, no riscs at all, Chelsea has the same lable, eventhough Chelsea has great players to be way more dominating......
-
If you watched the premiership week in week out you will see why Chelsea get the label they do, they get results but often they grind out a win and its not often i LOVE watching chelsea, we never have 4-0's really, this is why Man U almost won the title on goals difference, we dont score enough and are a bit dull.
Arsenal on the other hand. Wow how much have i enjoyed watching them this season? There fluidity in passing has been immense.
-
so your love for Chelsea is actually something you cannot help?....Poor you :D
-
Haha thats what a supporter is, they love the team DESPITE what they do. They may be dull but we stand on the brink of a champions league cup!
-
for how long have you been fan? I mean when Abramovitch came you where a mediocre team, so I wonder how you feel about this guy and his many, many millions?
-
Urgh I would rather be owned by a Russian than an American
-
Yeah look how messed up liverpool are cos of the americans hicks and gill taking control of them, they just dont get football. Though im not a huge fan of Roman A. Mind you look how bad its gone at Man City with that retard Shinawatra. How can you sack Sven for a 9th position finish????? Silly thailand man.
I have supported Chelsea since Ranieri was in charge and they had zola and hasselbaink and dessaily. About 7-8 years? As i say i dont like him much, i loved Mourinho and he should never have messed with that. HIs job is to give us his money and backing not mess with the coach position. But he does give us a shed load of cash so i guess its ok! LOL
-
That is my main concern. Football means business. It is a huge industry, growing bigger every day. Clubs are worth 100s of millions. People, not interested in football buy clubs to make more money. A damaging development. Damaging for foreign competitions, but I guess also for like the EPL. What if the populairity of Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City, Man Utd and other clubs that are owned by foreigners is gone and the people that hold the finances withdraw.....
-
hey you American bashers I outta report you guys to the authorities :o ;D
-
America, the home of the piep and the land of the imperialists.... :P
-
Dude i wouldnt pretend that any englishman could own and run an NFL team properly its not our thing, but we #$&*@! sure know football, and the liverpool owners are clueless!
-
America, the home of the piep and the land of the imperialists.... :P
Why I outta... actually you're prolly right.
-
Gillet, Hicks and Shinawatra - best thing to happen to Man Utd
Shinawatra has helped reclaim 6 points we lost to Citeh this season
-
Aint that the sad point. Stupid idiot.
