If spuds can't beat a pensionable AC side then they have no right to take a place in the tournament. How lucky are the Mancs and Chavski, unf**ckingbelievable.

[Jah Lush]

You're right of course.

[????]

Chelsea are a poor side at the mo...I may have a little bet on Copenhagen

[Annasfield]

More importantly - we've a nice little trip to Prague in February!

Rangers FC (SCO) v Sporting Clube de Portugal (POR)

Rangers against the team who play in the Celtic strip.

[SCSB79]

Same again please Rangers:

[????]

Ralph Coates RIP - a tear in Jah's eye today methinks

[Jah Lush]

Indeed Quids. I saw him only the other week at the Spurs v Liverpool match.

Ralph Coates R.I.P.

Also, I've just noticed that AC Milan are six points clear of Serie A. They can't be that bad for a bunch old codgers then can they?

[Mick Mac]

Losing to Barca again could put pressure on Wenger, especially if the title challenge has slipped by then.

[Jah Lush]

I don't think so. Winning the League Cup might just save his bacon and appease those fans and directors who want a bit of silverware. Any bit of silverware.

[????]

Arseanal win the League Cup? er, you jest surely Jah? West Ham are still in that competition

[Jah Lush]

Oh feck yeah. Come on you Hammers!

[Emerson Crane]

Ian Holloway you are a legend, the only man in football with enough bollocks to say what everyone else is thinking about FIFA, Blatter, and Platini. No mealy mouthed bullshit from him. Get in.

[Emerson Crane]

Did anyone else laugh when Ferguson confided that fat Allardyce was almost in tears when he called to advise hed been sacked?? Oh there is a god after all!! God help the poor bastards that end with the useless twat.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Atila. You know when you are repeatedly banned and then you come back under a new name and for a while you are quite nice and people quite like you? Any chance you can stick to that instead of revering to just constant slagging others off?

That'd be nice

[Narnia]

Actually Allardyce has shown he is not useless in keeping small clubs in the PL which after all is what most of them aim for. You may not like his style but you could argue he has been more sucessful than some managers of so called big clubs.

[Annasfield]

I don't see what's wrong with that statement. Allardyce is a snidey horrible man and deserves all he gets. All about opinion of course, which we are all entitled to.

My opinion about this thread is that it's a bit like play ground bullying sometimes. Everyone tries to goad Emerson in to a rant and then when it happens you all feign outrage.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Im pretty much on the same page as Atila about Allardyce and have no problem with the post per se. It's just that it's part of a pattern which we have seen in the past. There is nothing remotely wrong with it per se, but given how things have deteriorated before I'm trying to stop him getting banned again

Besides no one is provoking as far as I can see?

[Annasfield]

Not in this instance, but it does happen a lot.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Hmmm

Well I never try and goad him into a rant but given that in this thread people get goaded all the time, he tends to have been the one to ask people out for a fight. You for example Anna have been hacked off before and just left for a while... a far better response

[ruffers]

I'm trying to remember when it was games started getting postponed because of the conditions on the way to the match or around the ground, or am I remembering wrong when I think that never used to happen?

No one's forcing anyone to go to the game, and if they fall over outside surely then they're responsible for their own actions?

I can't begin to tell you how patronising I find your post. Thanks Anna for telling it like it is. So you're on the "same page" as me so what's your problem. Your message is so school masterish its breathtaking. Pompous aint in it.

Yes Anna run along like a good girl and let the men speak. FFS, the prize for most patronising post is yours!!

[Keef]

For what it's worth, I agree with Anna, and have said as much before. I didn't think Sean hq really one of the goaders though.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Dude. I'm just trying to say chill, and you go nuts on me

You ARE a much more pleasant, reasonable person when you reregister. So you DO know the difference. You don't even rise to any goading for weeks. Then it all comes out.

If I say anything in support of you it's patronising. If i have a go I'm goading. Jesus
