mockney piers Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Absolutely. Name is on the tin after all. Then we wouldn have lost the supposedly worthless cup winners cup, which amazingly should be for cup winners. I guess it boils down to is modern football a sport or money generating entertainment. That was a rhetorical question obviously, I'm clearly naive, old fashioned and out of touch; post cronje, bloodgate and now piquet juniour, no sport is sacred.

Atila Reincarnate Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I agree champions league should be for the champions of their respective leagues not the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. Thta would make our league a lot more interesting as well.

Keef Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I also agree. Champs League for champs, bring back cup winners for cup winners, and get rif of UEFA cup, because it's shite!

Atila Reincarnate Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I see Del Boy Trotter, sorry, Harry Redknapp has accused some of the Arsenal fans at least weeks game with Citeh as being nutters and idiots for their reaction to Adebayors goal celebration, and for their goading and taunting of him. Fair enough. One would hope that as he is so quick to pass his verdict on these buffoons, he will also be as quick to tar the idiots who verbally abuse Sol Campbell with nasty homophobic shit everytime he turns up at shite hart lane with the same brush.

I think it was disgusting that he had to put up with THAT song. But lots of fans like to taunt ex-players. Adeboyer brought it in himself and I think he's very lucky not to have got a longer ban considering the kick in the face he gave to Van Persie.

kpc Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 The ban is only for kicking van Persie - the 'improper conduct' charge is not until the end of September.

matthew123 Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 Adebayor thus banned for Manchester derby on Sunday because City "decided against contesting Adebayor's violent conduct charge, enabling the Football Association to implement its fast-track disciplinary procedure."

Keef Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Well you don't want to lose a man on form for a game like that, but at the same time, it's not like they're short of strikers!

kpc Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Allegedly short of fit millionaire strikers (Robinho, Santa Cruz, Benjani crocked and Tevez doubtful). Maybe Sparky'll have to dust off his player registration and sign himself as a free agent.

matthew123 Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 Yes Keef bad injury situation upfront so I guess it's back to Bellamy and errrr... Are Man City so dopey not to appeal or do they have Tevez up their sleeve? I cannot see City posing many problems if it's just Bellamy who is fit.
