On the Ball (new Football Focus)

[Atila Reincarnate]

Well the man is an odious prick, his allegations against our little Spanish magician were disgraceful and the FA in it's wisdom batted them back at the perma tanned prat.

Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster and manager Sir Alex Ferguson were involved in a dressing-room bust-up after the draw with Sunderland, after the Scot pointed the finger at the England man for his part in Kenwyne Jones's goal for the Black Cats.

Full story: Daily Star

So the fact that Fergusmoan picked him in the first place doesn't show up an error on his part then? But everything that goes wrong in a game or any ruling against his team is wrong isn't it as his triade against the ref showed so clearly on Saturday. Knight of the Realm, do me a favour!!

TV games announced for December including Christmas fixtures - but it seems a little unfair. Chelsea have 2 games in 3 days, Liverpool have their 2 over 4 days and Arsenal 2 in 5 days... but I hear you ask Manchester United? Well they as is tradition get an advantage with the Xmas fixtures but this Christmas it's just the one game.. hmmmm and that is away at Hull on the 27th Dec.

Blimey. No wonder we needed that ?80M. Not only have we bribed the officials who run the game but we've payed off the league and Murdoch in order to fudge the fixture list for us. I'm suprised we can afford to pay the players. :))

Hoopers are showing the Ukraine v England match on Sat at 5pm - anyone fancy an EDF football forum outing?

[Jah Lush]

Count me in your Ladyship.

[ratty]

Avram Grant back at Pompey as DoF.

[Atila Reincarnate]

Has that useless SOB Roy (not so) Keane been sacked yet? If not why not!!!

[Jah Lush]

It's been said that the only time they have a crisis at Ipswich Town is when the wine runs out in the boardroom. Give it time though.

Would we all have to huddle around a laptop or is this via TV?

I'd rather stick pins in my eyes. What's next, pay for the privilege of listeing to radio commentary. I can't believe it's come to this. So I guess we may as well go the whole hog. Shut all the sports stadia down and pay to watch from our armchairs. Thanks Sky & Murdoch, you uselss no good c**t.

[Ladygooner]

Hoopers are showing it on a 50" screen - no idea how. Better to spend your money on beer than watch it on your pc.

Atila, this way you don't have to pay to watch it so what's the problem?

I dislike the trend which seems to have taken hold whereby we are having to pay more and more for the privilege to watch ANY sporting occasion. Yes in this instnace it's a freebie, but the game itself will probabaly about as exciting as watching paint dry. Where's the incentive for a team that's already qualified to do/play well? We all know pride in the shirt no longer exists, so what's the point. I'd rather watch the Arsenal any day of week, this game is irrelevant.

[Ladygooner]

Yes I prefer to watch Arsenal too - just thought it would be a nice occasion to meet others from the EDF football section.

Have you always been such a miserable old bugger or is it just since you have been posting on the EDF?!

[Jah Lush]

I think there are still plenty of places up for grabs in the England team for the World Cup and all the players will be wanting to put on a good performance and hopefully continue our unbeaten record in qualifying. I'm going to the game against Belarus at Wembley the following week.

[red devil]

Capello, and I'm sure the England players too, will want to go to the WC as unbeaten group winners and make a statement to the big guns that this England team are genuine contenders...

[????]

I'm up for it LG/JL

Well I have watched Arsenal for a long time too - and I'm not like that!

See you all at Hoopers at 5 on Sat - do they serve Stella?

No LadyG just that the game is irrelevant, and I'm wholly against the pay per view culture that is gradually overtaking the whole of sport never mind football.
