It just depends whether I have the time to do so or not. Some if us have a life outside of the EDF, I suggest you get one too :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18997-football-focus/page/401/#findComment-516959 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladygooner Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 To be honest I never expected us to win the game - a draw would have been nice though!I was disgusted with some of the fans around me at the match booing Wenger and saying "you don't know what you are doing" when he replaced Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. They can't have the same knowledge as the manager who has said today that AOC was ill during the week and had a muscle strain so had to be replaced.These are exactly the matches when the supporters should get behind their team!

red devil Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Well said LG, nice to know there are Gooners who know what support actually means...you should post on here more often :)Fergie once got the bird from Utd fans after his first 3 seasons when we seemed to be going backwards not forwards.But after what he has since achieved I too would be disgusted if that happened now. Wenger deserves far more respect than he got yesterday.

maxxi Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Balotelli stamp WAS deliberate and he should have gone as should Lescott.BUT Oxlade-Chamberlain was a real revelation.In the "getting-ridiculously-way-ahead-of-ourselves" dept. just three things...1. I can't wait to see Oxlade-Chamberlain playing alongside Rooney in an England shirt (well, I did say...)2. How do Southampton keep producing such talent?3. Have gooners decided on a moniker yet?

Otta Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Although to be fair, even Van Persie looked a bit unhappy at the substitution.Agree though that anyone booing Wenger and chanting "you don't know what you're doing" is clearly foolish.

ratty Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Just interested to see if the house of cards is going to fall? If Redknapp, (and I think it is a huge IF) gets guilty, then it opens up the whole world of bungs in football. The fingers of suspicion here point at many other high profile managers, as Panorama alluded to some years ago.Judas has a top Barrister working for him this fortnight though, and other charges related to this have not been made to stick to other people. There are some rumours also of a certain party turning Queens evidence on football..... intriguing.....My prediction remains that he will be acquitted, manage England and probably win us the world cup.

Undisputedtruth Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I'm more interested in goals per season. If you look at Balotelli, his goal ratio is a goal for every 85 minutes of play yet he is the third highest goal scorer at his club. I'll doubt Defoe matches Balotelli's strike rate.

Jah Lush Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Really? So you admit that his goal ratio is better than you may have thought. I suspect you haven't even bothered to look though. Of course you're more interested in goals per-season and to be honest so am I. It's one of the main reasons I'd like to see him play more. He didn't have a good season for us last year but this season he has looked really sharp and scored goals when he has been given the opportunity.I rate Ballotelli very highly and as you've pointed out his strike rate is outstanding. What I would like to see is for him to get rid of the thuggish side of his game. Until he does he'll always be a liability to his club.

Undisputedtruth Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Van Persie has a better goal ratio than Defoe as well. I have seen the stats JL so I'm afraid you've suspected wrong.Dzeko has a strike rate of a goal for every 93 minutes and Aguero has a strike rate of a goal per 107 minutes. All the City strikers have better goal ratio than Defoe.While Defoe's goal ratio is quite good then there's always a danger this could worsen if he starts more games.

Alan Medic Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Agree with Atila. Phil Neville was a real dirty bast**d of a player. Add Denis Irwin to the list too!

El Pibe Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 You don't really think Southampton when you hear Le Seaux, much more Chelsea or Blackburn....or the Guardian.Le Tissier was one of my favourite footballers of all time however, when he could be bothered of course.

Bluerevolution Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Tuesday 24 January 2012 @kickingsportMario Balotelli angered by ?deliberate? Redknapp tax evasionManchester City?s Mario Balotelli has reacted furiously after Harry Redknapp stole the attention of the world of football away from him for all of five minutes last night.Details of Redknapp?s despicable tax evasion attempts through foreign bank accounts meant Balotelli was not the centre of controversy until news broke moments later of him being charged for stamping on Scott Parker.Balotelli said, ?Once could have been an accident, but you can see he?s been cooking his own books for years.??The bank account was in the name of his dog and used his date of birth.??Jesus Christ. Come on Harry.?Redknapp tax evasion?I?m usually the last person to talk about people doing stupid stuff, but this is so blatant ? he?s trying to steal the spotlight away from me and I want to see him brought to justice,? Balotelli continued.?It?s not the first time he?s done it and I?m sure it won?t be the last.??He did manage to sell Peter Crouch at a profit though, so fair play to him there ? no wonder the chairman wanted to give him a bung or two.?The Italian has until 1800 GMT on Wednesday to do something even more newsworthy before getting banned by the FA.
