Keef Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 It is scary that Man U and Arsenal both have very young players in their squads! I genuinely think Chelsea's time at the top won't last long, and they'll be dropping down the table in the next few years...Liverpool are the eternal 3rd/4th team, and I just hope that soon we can get the extra couple of players to take us that little extra step! We're not far off, and have had great spells this season, but the usual old inconsistancy always haunts us.With regards champs league, I don't know what to say about Tuesday, I don't really think any team has an advantage as I fully expect Arsenal to score... It's just whether we can keep them to scoring one and put a couple away ourselves...

Jah Lush Posted April 4, 2008 Author Share Posted April 4, 2008 Exactly right! It'll be a bloody tough game on Tuesday. It could still go either way. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1210-football-focus/page/101/#findComment-92480 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annasfield Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Keef, our youth and reserve squad are excellent. You'll have to watch a couple of games sometime.

My daughter went to the youth FA cup final last night. Chelsea had two goals disallowed so the 1-1 score doesn't really show the whole picture. I think they have a fine youth line-up in the wings.

SeanMacGabhann Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 can you imagine it?fair result today I would say - we didn't lose the league because of THIS result - we lost it over several games in the last 6 weeks.

Ladygooner Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Very disappointing day. Did anyone else notice that not one of his team mates came over to celebrate with Bendtner for his goal? I thought he had just had a fall out with Adebayor - must be more serious than that!

mockney piers Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I was at that game too quids. Joe Cole's showboating still sticks in the mind. Marvellous stuff. 9-0 on aggregate I believe.

Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Indeed, it makes me weep when I think of the players we had then Mockney..... add Johnson and DeFoe and I burst into tears Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1210-football-focus/page/101/#findComment-92834 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mockney piers Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Yeah, we're not doing well at hanging on to players, I fear for Newton. Every time we get someone good, someone like Fergie 'expresses an interest' which can have a horribly unsettling effect on someone, as we saw in the Reo-Coker episode.Pity, the boy's got talent, but I don't want anyone in the side who doesn't want to be there.Newton's more mature, but it feels like only a matter of time before someone will make an offer the board won't refuse.Our biscuit magnate didn't hang around long either....and because I can't help my pedantry, I think Lampard was in the senior squad too.Whatever happened to the likes of Newton (Adam) and Iriekpen, who looked pretty good in that side too.

mockney piers Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Some just went because the board got all greedy. Johnson, Carrick and so on. We'd done our fire sale and they didn't have to go and hadn't requested to go, which made it all the more depressing.

???? Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Newton (Adam)positive tested for Cocaine but stayed for his ban since gone, I think Iriekpen went quite recently (Southend???).
