On the Ball (new Football Focus)

[Sandperson]

Erm, it was a joke Jah. See the winking 'smiley'. I fully expect them to beat us at the weekend, a draw for us would be a good result.

[Keef]

Never saw last night, crap result, but bit early to completely write a team off isn't it? I seem to remember Man U being written off more than once in the last couple of years after bad starts. That said, something needs to be sorted asap for the pool. As a friend said to me last night, they look flatter than the average pancake.

[Jah Lush]

I know it's too early to write them off Keef and sorry for missing the winking smiley Sandperson but I can't see Liverpool in the equation and the end of the season. Their squad simply isn't strong enough and they haven't the money to go out and spend on the three or four players they need despite the ?30 million they received for Alonso.

There is a lot of behind the scenes squabbling between the two American owners and Benitez seems to have his hands tied financially and because of that it really wouldn't surprise me if he resigns or is sacked.

[Keef]

Agree with everything you just said. Unfortunately though, stamping feet and shouting yanks out, won't make any difference. They have thick skins, and I fear we're stuck with them. Being honest, I wouldn't shed too many tears if Rafa went, I like him, but find him a bit too stubborn. My concern would be that some players might go with him to Spain.

Are you going Quids?, I expect YouTube to go into meltdown tonight/tomorrow when all the aggro vids get downloaded...

[Mick Mac]

all very quiet on the celtic arsenal game for which i apologise but obviously not too confident. But arsenal fans are not up for banter so would be wasting my time as all i get it return is big fish small pond. Will however say that we have not given up. We shall fight, to the death, (if the referee allows tackles this week of course).

[Sandperson]

MM, I'm not sure he will allow those 'death tackles'. :))

[Mick Mac]

You could blow an Arsenal player over from your desk at work.

Ladyboys the lot of 'em...

You are obviously well versed in such matters so I'm guessing you're one yourself.

Alawys up for banter but Celtic are no threat, just a laughing stock, so it would be a wate of my time. Oh yeah, big fish small pond. Nearly forgot.

[Mick Mac]

Eh - I'm not Scottish, Atila - I'm Irish. But I'm sure I'm a nasty type anyway.

Oh no. Another brain teaser.

Anyway, back to the football. Scoreline for tonights game? I'm going 2-1 Celtic. Arsenal to scrape through then probably reach the semis.

[Jah Lush]

It's a a no brainer. I'm going three-nil Arsenal even if they put out a weakened team.

Fcuk me ragged you really do live in a dream world, 3 - 0 to the Arsenal to get rid of the waste of space in the Champs league that is Celtic. As for the game against the Mancs at the weekend I don't think we'll be beaten.

[Atila Reincarnate]

TFFT - thank fcuk for that.

[Sandperson]

Spot my deliberate mistake? I meant tomorrow night. I think we'll get a draw against Arsenal at the weekend. Wouldn't be suprised by a loss but I think we are good enough for a draw.
