Football Focus

[Annasfield]

Sorry Keef - unless I get tickets, I'll be watching from behind my sofa. You're welcome to join me.

For a moment there, I thought that Derby were going to do the business today. Shame.....

On a positive note, we've scored 99 goals this season. Would be fab to get our 100th next weekend.

[citizenED]

theres everyone predicting thumping wins for Man U and Chelski, and they only win by a single goal each - But three bloody points each nontheless. Now we are loosing at home to the 'Boro. Holds miserable head in hands.

[Annasfield]

All we need now is for Everton to lose tomorrow and my weekend will be complete. :))

[SeanMacGabhann]

today was when I went from thinking we might not win the title to thinking we don't deserve to win the title

ah well - life goes on

[Ladygooner]

Another bad day at the Emirates! Its true Sean, we don't deserve to win it - lets just hope we manage to stay in the top two!

[????]

I 've got ?50 on Man U at 3.5s so am delighted with todays results (except Chelsea)....hammers back on form too yeah >:D

[SeanMacGabhann]

you didn't get your 4-0 to Man U bet in tho' did you quids?

[????]

Nope - it's been a bad Friday and Saturday for me....

Went to ashburton grove yesterday, a poor game, coupled with a poor ref, and Boro only interested in defending for dear life. The laws of the game especially the offside rule are alien to Mr. Halsey and the linesmen who had a mare. Anyway, we are supposed to be the bad boys on the prem based on the number of red cards we received during Le Boss' reign. I don't recall any of our players breaking another players leg (Eduardo and Diaby on the wrong end on challenges that did very serious damage), amd that fat excuse for a player ex-spurs prick Mido, splitting Clichys head open. But we are a dirty team for fecks sake.

Boro are a poor side managed by a poor manager with limited expectations and christ how it showed yesterday. Theo was a shining light yesterday and at one point was cynically hauled down by a so called "good honest professional" who knew the kid was gonna fly past him but only got a yellow card for wasting time. Sagna, Flamini, Toure, and Walcott all had good games the rest were off the pace. I acn't see us winning the title now, but we'll see. aS for Chavski thinking they've got a chance, dream on fat Frankie, dream on.

[Keef]

Booo, even less footy on normal TV! :(

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

That is a real bummer. I'm still pissed off about the test matches. But I will not bow to the juggernaut Sky!

[atila the gooner]

I haven't had sky for nearly two years nad I don't miss it. You can catch anything you want to watch by visiting most pubs. I rather spend my money in a boozer than give it to Murdoch.

[Annasfield]

I used to think like that, until I realised I remembered nothing of the games. Hate getting distracted in pubs, everyone tries to chat and then the door opens and you miss a yellow card etc.

Don't even get me started on what it's like being a girl watching footy on her own in a pub. But lets put is this way, if there are any single ladies out there who want a fella and aren't too picky - this is the way to go about it. (I'm picky btw)

For me the ?40 odd a month is well worth it.

[Keef]

Having watched a couple of games with you Anna, I can see what you mean about getting distracted in the pub. However, I do love the atmosphere for some matches. The Champs League Final we won was amazing in the EDT (yes I wasn't in the CPT shock horror!), but saying that, we did get there VERY early to get great spots.

[atila the gooner]

Rightly or wrongly, I always assumed that Liverpool fans not only boycotted the Sun because of its' outrageous remarks in the aftermath of the Hillsborough disaster, but that they also boycotted all things Murdoch. Is this not the case?

[Annasfield]

Some fans do take it to that extreme, but the majority (including myself) restrict this boycott to the Sun and generally those associated Kelvin McKenzie. I'm not going to go in to it any further on here as it is something that I feel very strongly about and don't wish to start discussing it on a public forum.

[Keef]

Not really. Maybe a few die hards, but for the most part it's just The Sun, and even that isn't doing too bad up there any more (considering the size of the student population, they have a market).

[Keef]

Anna it was discussed on here a while back. Spadetownboy and I couldn't come to an agreement, so decided to put it to bed... That was before I realised he was Man U ;-) For some reason I had it in my head that Padetown was Spurs.

[Jah Lush]

Personally, I wouldn't wipe my arse on the Sun. It's a disgusting little rag especially when it was edited by that egocentric twerp Kelvin MacKenzie and I do tend to boycott all things Murdoch as well, so still no Sky Sports in my house.

Having said that I'm sure that there are plenty of Arsenal, Man Utd and Liverpool fans out there hoping that the Spurs give Chelsea another beating tonight. I'm just really pissed off that A: I haven't got a ticket for tonight's match and B: that it's not on the telly so I can watch it down the pub.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Jah, it will probably be on the radio (94.9 fm) tonight so you can stay in, do your ironing and swig from a cheap bottle of plonk. Result!

[Jah Lush]

Excellent idea PGC. I'll skip on the ironing though.

[atila the gooner]

This is going to hurt, but here goes.............COME ON YOU SPURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Annasfield]

::o::o::o::o::o::o::o::o

and don't forget - C'mon Bolton too!!;-)

[atila the gooner]

This goes against the grain but.................Come on BOLTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jah Lush]

Atila, you truly have surpassed yourself today. Well done.(tu)
