Atila Reincarnate Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 In fairness most refs have been poor this eason, but it's not always the refs fault when your side loses, sometimes it's just because the oppostion were better than you, or on occasions have had the rub of the green. I've no complaints about were we've ended up in the league.

Atila Reincarnate Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I've just seen a posting on this thread saying that Wayne Rooney is the White Pele, you have got to be pulling my plonker. Pele was a graceful, artistic player. Now I ain't saying Rooney isn't a good player, but Pele he ain't.

Atila Reincarnate Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Oh dear, our little Russian maestro will never endear himslef to women with comments like this.Arshavin has a few choice opinions on women drivers: "I would never give driving lessons to women. We need to build a few new roads for them. Why because you never know what to expect from them," he said. Thanks for those enlightened words Andry, I would suggest you stick to football and leave social commentary to others.

Mick Mac Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Currently Gers 2 - 1 Aberdeen - so Aberdeeen have pulled one back which hurts the all important goal difference.

SimonM Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 The problem with George is that he never had the chance to demonstrate his breathtaking skills at the very highest level as both Pele and Cruff did, each so very convincingly.

Keef Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Well, I may as well be the first to say it (through slightly gritted teeth), congrats to Man U, once again, just too consistant.Glad to see the pool taking it close though, and although disappointing in the end, this has been a good season, compared the the recent years when a genuine title shot has been out the window by feb at the latest, and we've been scrapping for 3rd or 4th.I believe that a couple more players will make the pool more of a finished article, and hopefully next season will be a good race... Made all the more exciting by the fact that United have now equalled Liverpool's title haul, and could go top next year...

Sandperson Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 At last! Of course we couldn't have done it without spending soooo much money as the guru Benitez has told us. What a twat. (Apart from the fact he managed to spend ?20M on a player who then went straight back to where he came from for less money.) One more and they are well and truely knocked off their perch abnd that IS a fact. Bring on next season. ;-) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5028-on-the-ball-new-football-focus/page/80/#findComment-202417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annasfield Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 You're actually sat on our perch with us. I believe that when you knock someone off you surpass their record. We may also have spent a wedge on Keane but we had to sell to buy and that's the difference. Having a bit of luck helps and think we've missed out on that this season. Need to start converting those 0-0's in to late 1-0 wins.
