[Hobbit]

Tevez is fucked.

Hiya Berbatov.

[Andy]

:heart: Ade and :heart: Eddie

This could be a superb partnership. :yesyes:

[1_Pablo_Angel]

Anyone know the best place for streams?

Please avoid any water based hilarity.

The best one I've ever found is http://myp2p.eu/competition.php?competitionid=&part=sports&discipline=football

[1_Pablo_Angel]

That utd goal was a bit good.

[Alf]

Brilliant drunken Robbo story.


heard another story about him today

drunk at his kiddies birthday party being an embaressment - calling ledders kid 'here comes the mugger' and making jewish comments to all who would listen

[Hlebsfall]

Nice chest and volley from Eddie.

Fuck knows how ADE scored, it was a cut back.

[1_Pablo_Angel]

Sweet just seen all the HT highlights on this stream as well.

Quality goal from Eduardo, fuck knows how Adevayor squeezed his in.

Massive fuck up by Hahnemann for Pompeys goal.

[Hulkamaniac]

Was Shevva back for Chelsea today?

[Ringo]

Nope. Kalou on his own.

Ballack was absolutely excellent today. Well done lad.

Happy with the win despite our dismal first half display.

Looking forward to a Villa win over Spurs now and I'll be a happy chap.

[JIJ]

3-0 :eek:

We're flying now.

[Ringo]

*3-1

[SheltonLondon]

Had a little argument with a friend yesterday about Berbatov and a move to a top 4 club this year, I said that he couldn't play in the Champs League because he's played in the Uefa Cup, and he says they're eligible for Champs League.

What's the craic with that then?

[Melv]

The rule has changed that UEFA Cup doesn't Cup-Tie you for the Champions League.

[Andy]

Routine win for us. Happy with that, especially with Eduardo scoring again and Ade keeping up his excellent form. I wish we'd pushed for a couple more though, just to get our goal difference back about Man U.

Also, Ramos has dropped King...hopefully a goal fest on the cards. :D

[Alf]

Is it on Sky or setanta?

I can't find out anywhere.

[Melv]

Personally I hope it's 50-0 Villa with Laursen scoring them all, and Ashley Young/Agbonlahor getting all the assists.

[Melv]

Is it on Sky or setanta?

I can't find out anywhere.
Sky Sports 1, 5:15.

[JIJ]

It's on SKY.

[Andy]

Ashley Young to score first, second, sixth and tenth, with Agbonlahor and Gazza Bazza getting the rest. :yes:

[Melv]

Ashley Young to celebrate by whipping his cock out on the internet.

[Alf]

WOOP!

I'm off to the pub then. See you later boys.

[1_Pablo_Angel]

Shit. Carew out. Luke Moore starts :nono:

[1_Pablo_Angel]

Carew would have fucking shat all over Spurs defence.

[Melv]

Keane on the bench? Strange one.

[1_Pablo_Angel]

Minutes silence > minutes applause.

[Winkle van Tinkle]

iS KICK OFF 5:15?

I'm too lazy to get up and turn the tv on....

[Winkle van Tinkle]

Minutes silence > minutes applause.

All George Best's fault.

[Melv]

Just kicked off.

[Ringo]

Rubbish. Applause is where's at.

Plus, it's not as if you can hear those who aren't clapping, as opposed to minute's silence when it's inevitable there'll be a couple of fat cunts screaming "DAVE ATE ALL THE PIES LALALALA".

[Alf]

fuck it, i'm watching a stream.

The way I see it. 2.50 for a stream but I'd spend a lot more on booze and food.

ediy: down the pub that is...

[N.E.R.F.]

You're on your mobile at the pub aren't you Alf.

[Alf]

Yes :(

[Melv]

Better atmosphere at the pub, Alf. Stop being so anti-social.

[Alf]

I TELL YOU WHAT LADS.... JUST STAND THERE AND LET MOORE HAVE A SHOT!

Useless cunts.

[Alf]

Better atmosphere at the pub, Alf. Stop being so anti-social.

My local is full of chelsea shouting stuff like YID CUNTS at the TV.

...and I do worry that I'm becoming more and more of a recluse.

[I refuse to job. Ever.]

Looking forward to this. Was meant to go over for it but didn't make it out of bed in time. :(

On the plus side, my mate's sent me a text to tell me he's got me one of these:

http://www.astonvilladirect.com/product_images/maxzoom/prd_maxzoom_38297.jpg

Sex.

3-1 today I reckon. Luke, Gabby & Laursen, with Defoe for Spurs.

Robinson fuck up for a couple of them.

[1_Pablo_Angel]

Ringo: seems more respectful to me to have a minutes silence when someones just died. If we can't because fans are too retarded to respect them that's just very sad indeed.

Lukey inches away there....

We had a minute's silence at the Emirates today.

(actually we had 90 minutes shit fans lolol)

[Melv]

Minutes silence will always be the better option, and you'd think at a game that's not really that heated (not a derby), the fans would be able to observe it well.

[I refuse to job. Ever.]

Looks like I'll have to avoid this thread, my stream seems to be about 5mins slow. Rubbish.

WHAT A GOAL BY CARSON.

[Alf]

Time for some matchsnacks in the form of TEA & BISCUITS...

I've got some lovely shortbread and delicious earl grey.

[1_Pablo_Angel]

Pint of Pride with roast beef and yorkshire pudding on the way :D

[Alf]

In one glass? That sounds RANK.

[Ringo]

Oooh look at Kevin 'Prince' fucking Boateng with his ridiculous tattoos. The Bison would devour him. German nancy boy.

[Alf]

Awful from Robbo there. We need a new keeper.

[Alf]

Oooh look at Kevin 'Prince' fucking Boateng with his ridiculous tattoos. The Bison would devour him. German nancy boy.

He's the Ghetto Kid apprently. Look out! He'll einen capenhausen in your arschloch.

[Melv]

:lol: Spurs defence is fucked.

[Ringo]

The Hudd, on the other hand, is one black footballer I would not like to mess with. He knows where it's at, even though he can barely move.

[Alf]

He's bigger than the moon.

[Andy]

Ahahaha corner goes to the six yard box, NOBODY there, so Robbo punches it. :lol:

[Ringo]

Fucking hell Laursen :nono:

[Alf]

AHAHAHA GOOD SHOT!

...Robbo loves punching at the moment and he's SHIT at it.

[Melv]

Laursen you fanny.

[Ringo]

Fuck this, I'm fan-zoning this up.

Couple of knobs but they're better than the proper duo.

[Alf]

Rabbi Crackers is on fanzone. He's massive. Cockney. And funny.

[Hlebsfall]

Nice marking.

[Alf]

Well, we knew it was coming.

Why the fuck are we so shit at defending set-pieces?

Awful from Daws and KPB.

Fucking awful.

[Ringo]

Don't know what Prince was doing there. Christ.

[I refuse to job. Ever.]

I'm gonna miss Olof :cry:

[Alf]

It sounds like they've got Boycey from Only Fools commentating.

[Hulkamaniac]

Why doesnt that Live Footy site thing have the next Sunderland match on?

[1_Pablo_Angel]

In one glass? That sounds RANK.

Nah just for dipping

[Alf]

Why doesnt that Live Footy site thing have the next Sunderland match on?

When is it?

They only have the schedule for the week up... and if the match isn't physically on TV anywhere then they can't show it.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

Thats just idiotic from Dawson. Trying to play offside from a free kick with his man 4 yards behind him out of sight. What made him think thats a good way to defend a free kick?

[1_Pablo_Angel]

How the hell did Laursen miss that? :lol:

ONE MELLBERG

THERE'S ONLY ONE MELLBERG

THERE'S ONLY ONE MELLBERG

ONE MELLBERG

[Hulkamaniac]

When is it?

They only have the schedule for the week up... and if the match isn't physically on TV anywhere then they can't show it.

Tomorrow. Against Blackburn. Probably just isnt on TV anywhere.

[1_Pablo_Angel]

When is it?

They only have the schedule for the week up... and if the match isn't physically on TV anywhere then they can't show it.

Yer don't think it's on, there's no channels listed for it on myp2p.eu

[El Capitano Gatisto]

Bolton vs. Derby is on Sky. Terrible.

[Hulkamaniac]

Does anyone even support either of those teams?

[Alf]

Thats just idiotic from Dawson. Trying to play offside from a free kick with his man 4 yards behind him out of sight. What made him think thats a good way to defend a free kick?

Are you talking about the goal?

Well, it looked like KPB was marking Mellberg, he then ran forward to meet the ball as Daws ran backwards to meet the ball, giving Mellberg a free header.

Daws should have been marking Mellberg in the first place and KPB shouldn't have left his man.

Awful defending all round reallty.

We need to start from scratch in the summer, champo style.

[Melv]

Dawson was the one marking Mellberg. Or was supposed to be. He practically dragged him into an offside position, left him and let him wander back onside unseen.

[1_Pablo_Angel]

There will be more goals in this.

Could be time to change into the lead lined bombproof underwear.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

Even Jamie Redknapp noticed that Dawson was clearly on Mellberg for this match. He let him go for that free kick. Boateng went towards the ball when he realised Mellberg was free and fucked it up by getting underneath it.

[Melv]

Villa could and probably should be out of sight by now. Let's hope it doesn't bite them in the arse that they're not when Spurs bring Keane on for Defoe.

[Alf]

Defoe has never been good away. I hope the half time talk does some good. We got battered there.

[1_Pablo_Angel]

We should be 2 up yeah. I wouldn't call that out of sight after what happened at WHL :ashamed:

These fucking pundits saying our home forms been crap are dickheads, we've beaten Everton and west ham both of whom have great away records, we've lost to a last minute Liverpool free kick, Man utd, Arsenal (just) and pompey. How's our home form been 'a problem for us' Jamie? And I don't really want to 'turn our season around' either, because it's actually going quite well thanks.

twats

[Alf]

What the fuck? Lennon was one of the only players doing anything.

Defoe has been invisible.

Also, ROBBO FOR FUCK SAKE CATCH!

[1_Pablo_Angel]

Berbatov's a dirty cunt.

[Alf]

He's from Bulgaria and he'll cut your mum up if you look at him funny.

[Alf]

...Kaboul off for O'Hara...

Looks like we are going 343 again.

Scrap that... Jenas at rightback.

[Winkle van Tinkle]

The Hudd, on the other hand, is one black footballer I would not like to mess with. He knows where it's at, even though he can barely move.

He's a little softy, so quiet and unintimidating.

Played poker with him last week, and he was telling us about Jaunde's new diet for him.....while he ate a whole pack of chocolate digestives :D

[Alf]

Did he give you any INSIDE info?

[Hlebsfall]

I bet he can lick his own tits the fat shit.

[1_Pablo_Angel]

fucking sort it out you dickheads

god i HATE watching us on telly :mad:

[Alf]

The ref is a bit shit. We are looking brighter.

[1_Pablo_Angel]

Why does the Rosk think Luke Moore is so good? Absolutely deluded.

[Winkle van Tinkle]

Did he give you any INSIDE info?

No, not really. But I did see him out on Friday (i think) at I Am Legend with aaron lennon and some other darkies. Aaron Lennon looked like a pikey little street rat....then went and got in his DB9.....

[Alf]

LUKE MOORE IS MEGA...

[1_Pablo_Angel]

:lol: just fuck off Luke.

Get marlon on.

[Melv]

Berbatov + money for Moore.

[Winkle van Tinkle]

ROBBIE KEANE IN RAISED ARM, MOANING SHOCKER!!

[1_Pablo_Angel]

Never a pen.

I see Friday lurking. Take him off our hands please mate :yes:

[Alf]

What a goal. Go on Defoe.

[1_Pablo_Angel]

well that's been fucking coming

[Melv]

Good finish. Come on Gabby.

[Alf]

Good reactions from Berba and Defoe there. We could nick this now :)

I'd love to see Rosk's face if we do.

COME ON YOUR SPURS!

[1_Pablo_Angel]

1 - 2 (keane)

[1_Pablo_Angel]

Did Andy Gray just say we've lost our last 3 home games?

[turdpower]

Good call Andy :lol:

[1_Pablo_Angel]

aaaaaaaadjeiwofldje2p9jjghjkkiuytuerwrtfyjl;lkjgfd sry7890-=098675redfhi[ppkjgcxcvbn mEATGTHATSHITALF29ue8029ue9i0p3[k

[Friday]

Never a pen.

I see Friday lurking. Take him off our hands please mate :yes:

It looks like he has all the tools to be a good striker. Just seems to be lacking in a bit of confidence. He can move and is not a cunt, so he is already an improvement on some of our strikers.

[Hlebsfall]

Nice Marking AGAIN

[Melv]

GET IN.

[Alf]

Fucking hell. Set-piece again. What. The. Fuck.

I wonder how many goals we've leaked from set-pieces this season. I think probably the majority of them.

[1_Pablo_Angel]

We've scored 21 from set pieces this season. Most in the prem.

Friday: his attitude's certainly questionable mate. Dunno if he's ever really up for a scrap.

[Alf]

Christ we need some proper defenders.

Just imagine if we could defend.

It starts with midfield though and I've lost count the amount of times Hudds, Malbranque and the lot have let a player run past them in posseision in this game.

[1_Pablo_Angel]

Unlucky Spurs. A draw would have been a fair result there.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

Unlucky Spurs. A draw would have been a fair result there.

I don't know about that. Villa had several pretty simple chances to score. Awful misses from Laursen and Moore.

[Melv]

Laursen has the nicest eyes in the Prem.

[1_Pablo_Angel]

True. On balance of play they completely dominated the second half, at least that's what it felt like. I was screaming at the TV because we just couldn't get a foot on it.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

Mellberg has the best beard.

[Alf]

I don't know about that. Villa had several pretty simple chances to score. Awful misses from Laursen and Moore.

I agree with that.

I think 2-1 was fair.

We desperately need to sort our our defence.

[1_Pablo_Angel]

:heart: our Scandinavians :D

PLEASE STAY OLLY :happysad:

[1_Pablo_Angel]

Redknapp: "good result at... Middlesbrough, did they beat 2-1?"

Keys: "Yes."

They get PAID for this shit!

[Ringo]

Oh come on, Redknapp is a charming young man. He's much better than most of the mongs they get on there.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

He's a fool. Quality suits though.

[Hulkamaniac]

Mellberg has the best beard.

I've been a fan of Olaf's beard for quite a while, it must be said. I love how well he manages to maintain it.

[Beefy]

He was scratching it all the way through his interview too. And yet he keeps it because it makes him look so damned manly. I can respect that.

[Winkle van Tinkle]

He looks rubbish without it.

Matty Upson is trying it, but it doesn't work for him.

[1_Pablo_Angel]

When I grew a beard I was the SPIT of Olof. Apparently.

It was Olof Mellberg beard day for Villa fans at Wigan last week, gutted I couldn't make it :(

[Hulkamaniac]

Upson's looks alright. I respect anyone who maintain's a beard like that. I grew one for a full week from my birthday and although it looked tremendous, it was just too itchy to keep around.

I'd love to grow one properly though.

[1_Pablo_Angel]

He looks rubbish without it.

Matty Upson is trying it, but it doesn't work for him.

Scott Carson too.

[Alf]

Ooooofff... Gus's interview.

Brill. Love him. He's totally right. It's the silly fucking mistakes that have got us in this mess. It needs sorting and levy needs to shut the fuck up with 'Only essential changes will be made.' Half the team needs changing.

[Hulkamaniac]

I think that it might do you some good to cash in on Berbatov now mate.

[Alf]

No, not at all.

We don't need to sell to buy. Selling Berba would be a step backwards.

[1_Pablo_Angel]

Surely Spurs can afford a decent centre back or two and maybe a coach to organise them without selling Berbatov.

re: a draw being a fair result; seems to be the overwhelming consensus on the Villa boards too given our poor second half performance.

[Melv]

I think Mik's point was more along the lines of the way Arsenal sold Henry.

[Ringo]

Who do think needs replacing from the first team, Alf?

I'm assuming Robbo and Chimbo. Then a new top class CM and LM..

[Alf]

Who do think needs replacing from the first team, Alf?

I'm assuming Robbo and Chimbo. Then a new top class CM and LM..

Well, I'm still undecided about Robbo. Sometimes, like today, he looks like a rabbit in the headlights. But others he looks like his old self. In the end I think Robbo has to be replaced, or we at least need to bring in a keeper who can compete with him.

I've said it for years that we need a much better option in central midfield, maybe even two new central midfielders. We need a proper defensive mid and a more creative player too. Also, we need a left midfielder, I've said that for yonks too. Malbranque is decent enough but he's no left midfielder. The amount he gives the ball away is ridiculous... and he is soooo one footed too.

In terms of defence, I think a top centre back is a must. Right back is a concern for me too. Chimbo, like Robbo is at times excellent but the majority of times he looks like he's tripping over his own feet, and he gives away the ball too much.

The whole team needs a new spine basically.

[Hlebsfall]

I think Mik's point was more along the lines of the way Arsenal sold Henry.

Arsenal had 10 quality players behind Henry. Spurs have Kaboul and Robinson.

[Melv]

Spurs seem to try and play everything through Berbatov though, and they have creative players in Lennon, Keane and even Jenas who are all different options.

[Andy]

Lennon and Jenas are not creative players.

[Melv]

I disagree. Lennon with his pace should be able to take on players and get crosses in, and Jenas gets far too much stick. He does a job for Spurs.

[Andy]

I disagree. Lennon with his pace should be able to take on players and get crosses in, and Jenas gets far too much stick. He does a job for Spurs.

All Lennon does is run at defenders, and on the rare occassions he beats them he just runs to the goal line and whips a cross in. I can't remember the last time he got an assist and he never cracks defences with good passes or anything.

Jenas is a solid worker, but he has no creativity either. He works hard, gets stuck in, but he is an average player.

[eldanielfire]

What the fuck is up with Tevez and that dummy?

[turdpower]

His wife gave birth.

[1_Pablo_Angel]

:lol: so many empty seats at boro (as usual).

Where are you all Rabanotious5k???

[Alf]

Doesn't Benjiani look like a rapist. He's got really scary rape eyes.

[Melv]

ahahaha what a shit goal.

[Prototype16]

I fucking hate Hull

Why couldn't they have go down last year? I blame Leeds

[eldanielfire]

His wife gave birth.


To a retard?

[turdpower]

To a baby. Sometimes babies wear dummies.

Are you SURE you are a teacher?

[Andy]

:lol:

[Fulham Road Supporter]

Chelsea have been terrible in the last 3/4 games. I wish the commentators and pundits would recognise that they don't have a right to automatically be loads better than everyone else just because they're 'a top 4 side'. With the amount of injuries they've got teams should be looking to beat them.

I know, we were shit first half, we had the ball alot but never really attacked, at 2-1 we sat back but had no danger because Fulham just aren't any good.

A half decent team would have got at least a draw.

[eldanielfire]

To a baby. Sometimes babies wear dummies.

Are you SURE you are a teacher?


Because an adult sucking a dummy is fucking retarded, not a celebration of a birth. I'm a secondary teacher, so we move beyond the very simple analogies used by fucking 6 year olds, 'special' cases and Man Utd fans.

[El Capitano Gatisto]

He's hardly going to light a cigar up on the pitch is he. Good effort though.

[RFF Champ]

What was your opinion on Mike Dean yesterday, UK Blue? I thought he made one bad decision and that was that he should have give Graeme Murty a second yellow half way through the first half. Otherwise I thought he and the linesman got most of it correct but the Reading fans didn't half moan. I thought it was a sending off, Sonko was the last man.

Also, John Utaka flew for his goal, he destroyed Shorey with pace, I was very impressed. Kranjcar was terrific too, Portsmouth were very impressive.

[Smell It?]

What is this bloody new celebration these gimps are all doing?

[1_Pablo_Angel]

What, the 'A' one?

[Hobbit]

Because an adult sucking a dummy is fucking retarded, not a celebration of a birth. I'm a secondary teacher, so we move beyond the very simple analogies used by fucking 6 year olds, 'special' cases and Man Utd fans.

Yes what the fuck was Carlos Tevez thinking, having one of those 'sense of humours' during in which a time he's quite rightly proud. What a retarded wanker he is.


What is this bloody new celebration these gimps are all doing?

It's apparently for 'a' clothing range, A-Stars or something.

[1_Pablo_Angel]

How it began

A-Star is the brainchild of Fitz Hall, Andy Johnson, Ken Bonsu and Ronnie Wilson, and was set up with the aim of encouraging young people to express themselves in a positive manner and to make it possible to be around role models who do not glamorize crime, guns or drugs. With the death rate among teenagers increasing Fitz and Ken wanted to do something.

As an example, based on one survey, a worst case projection indicates that 60,000 young people (predominantly male) may be stabbed and injured in the UK each year, whilst a rather more conservative estimate could be 22,000. The discrepancy in the two figures should not really be surprising as the figures were derived from the questioning of around 600 under 25 year olds, who were asked whether they had been knifed or stabbed, and then extrapolated to provide a "National Statistic" (Governments Offending, Crime and Justice Survey - OCJS).

Whatever the actual numbers, it is clear that the persons most likely to be at risk from knife violence are; young, black or Asian males, living in high crime inner city areas, ...but as is all too evident from the events of the last year, young or old, ordinary citizens, solicitors, police officers, etc., no one is exempt!

Source: http://www.insight-security.com/facts-knife-crime-stats.htm

So the name A-Star was chosen (A-Star=every child is a star) which fits in with the government initiative “Every child matters”

With those core beliefs in mind and heart. The guys set up a unique company that hopes to offer real opportunities for young people with a wide ranging choice of activities to participate in and hopefully gain employment in a chosen field.

Objectives


Is there a need for this

The need for a company such as A-Star is of vital importance.

A-Star offers a chance for individuals to shine and showcase their hidden talents through the unique football tournaments A-Star have devised.
Through these games grassroots foundations will be laid that will have a long lasting effect on the participants; our aim is that young people will come away from the tournaments and activities with a sense of dignity and achievement to ultimately become role models in their own community, which falls directly inline with the independent Reach report which was commissioned by the Department for Communities and Local Government which stated that it will call for the creation of a National Role Model programme to give the youngsters figures from their own community to look up to.

Aims:-The Aims of A-Star are as follows

The participants should gain a new respect for the following key issues:
• Creating role models for their own community
• Understanding group/team identity
• The intense effort involved being in a team/group
• The role of different skills and interests and how important they are
• The challenge of overcoming preconceptions about what they want from an experience of this kind
• The experience of working in new ways, and with new people
• The excitement of the creative work involved
• The thrill of public performance
• Responsibility
• Job creation


Ethos

Core principles

A-Star members are fiercely committed to working with young people and making a difference in their lives.



Co founder Fitz Hall believes “This is a great chance for professional footballers to truly give something back”



England Under-21 left-back Leighton Baines quote ”Kids can come out from their local neighborhood and win the A-star contract.

It has been said many times before but this is not pretentious rhetoric. The difference here is that the footballers have not been forced in anyway to contribute their time to be a part of this.

This project comes from the heart of the footballers themselves.

The players are featured in a promotional DVD that gives the viewer a glimpse of AStar. Emile Heskey, Micah Richards, Leighton Baines, and A-Star Co-Founder Fitz Hall to name but a few are fiercely committed to this cause.

The distinguishing character or sentiment of A-Star is to influence young people to be the best they can be and to realize that they themselves are stars.
Whether that star is a community leader, spokesperson, manager, footballer, singer/musician whatever sphere or walk of life the young person may come from the mantra of A-Star is that we believe that every child is a star.

A-Star is a global project put together by a group of privileged Individuals who believe they can make a difference please join us on the journey.



All the best
Kenneth Bonsu,

:\

[Smell It?]

so why do they keep doing it then?

[1_Pablo_Angel]

Just to advertise it I suppose.

Kids can think 'THEY MEAN US!'

[turdpower]

Because an adult sucking a dummy is fucking retarded, not a celebration of a birth. I'm a secondary teacher, so we move beyond the very simple analogies used by fucking 6 year olds, 'special' cases and Man Utd fans.

Secondary school is the perfect age to know about babies. Considering most of the students are mothers and fathers [/daily mail]

Also, no source for this but found it on a Villa forum. Sounds cool


Other footie stars have been lined up to appear in the ads for Nike’s new range. Arsenal youngster THEO WALCOTT takes on Premiership speedsters GABRIEL AGBONLAHOR and AARON LENNON in the New Year to find who is the quickest over 100 metres.


GO ON GABBY

[Winkle van Tinkle]

Ooooh, i'd like to see that race. Go on Theo you little shit.

[Winkle van Tinkle]

They should get Tugay involved too, just for a laugh.

[Hobbit]

Cristiano Ronaldo would win it if he's in it. Apparently Aaron Lennon's forgotten how to run forwards :\

[1_Pablo_Angel]

Ronaldo's racing a car :wtf:


CRISTIANO RONALDO has finally met his match — in one of the world’s greatest supercars. And now he wants to buy one.

The Man Utd flyer donned a pair of Nike boots to pit his speed against an £800,000 Bugatti Veyron in the new ad for the footwear giant.

But with the mean machine capable of 0-60mph in less than three seconds — never mind a 253mph top speed — Ronaldo had to have a head start during filming at a race circuit in Cheshire.

Ronaldo was so impressed he now wants to sign the Bugatti for his team of motors, which includes an Audi R8 and a top-of-the-range BMW and Porsche.

A source at the circuit said: “Ronaldo wanted to know everything about the car — we think he wants to buy one.

I prefer his pink trousers. Some cunt has left a red sock in the washing machine!

Nice little stat for you gents...

19 out of 38 goals this season have been from set pieces.

8 of the last 10 from corners or free kicks.

[son_of_foley]

so ramos has tightened that up then...

Pretty rubbish news. I'm sure Northampton will get a decent fee for him, but he's undoubtedly been the young player of the year here.

Bags of potential, and I reckon Leciester will end up being just another stepping stone before he ends at a mid-table Premiership side.

Also sad to see him go because he's one of the very few young players at Town who isn't an absolute dickhead off the pitch. Ryan Gilligan, in particular, likes to consider himself a big-time charlie on nights out and it's only a matter of time really before he gets his head kicked in.

[Smell It?]

By you? :rofl:

[I refuse to job. Ever.]

:grumpy:

I was talking to the doorstaff of another venue and they were saying that a couple of weeks previous they'd had to bundle him out of a fire escape because there were 15 blacks ready to kick him in for getting mouthy to some bird who had turned him down.

And I'm SIA trained now, you utter bastard :happysad:

[Smell It?]

That may be the case but I bet he has a proper passport.

[Hulkamaniac]

Apparently we're the second worst for it.

We also have the fans who make the most noise.

Maybe if the fans stop shouting when we're defending a set piece, we might not keep conceding from them.

[I refuse to job. Ever.]

So do I.

...and we were second at making the most noise... a coincidence? I think not.

[JIJ]

Fucking hell didn't expect so much so soon. No surprises really though, everyone we've signed has been floating around the rumour-mill for a while :\

[1_Pablo_Angel]

Reckon you'll sign Rowan Vine?

[JIJ]

Hopefully he's been quality. Him and Buzsaky have been tearing teams apart lately. Apparently he's been pretty hush hush when asked by fans whether or not he'd be coming and on Saturday at the full time whistle he threw his shirt into The Loft and some said it was as if he was saying goodbye (his loan ended that day but still...).

I really hope we get him though.

[da_man]

They should get Tugay involved too, just for a laugh.

:D YUS

He'd fuck the race off, light up a fag and stroll the course, walk 20 yards off course to shake the judge's hand as he encourages him to hurry the fuck up and wave and soak up the adjulation of the adoring crowd before finishing slightly ahead of a flat-out MGP.

[Peter Griffin]

according to local news we are in for emanuale villa (as noted), robbie savage and hosam ghaly :yes:

[Simon]

Ghaly could be a decent signing. Playing every week in centre mid, you can guarantee effort from him and quality-wise he's streets ahead of anyone else you've got...you can just guarantee that the moment something fucks him off he'll go mental.

[Peter Griffin]

ahh maybe paul may suggest he runs in training or something equally ludacris :rolleyes:

[1_Pablo_Angel]

Didn't he not sign for Birmingham cause he decided they were too shit for him or something?

[Peter Griffin]

no he signed for birmingham but bruce sent him back cuz he complaiend training was too intesive and that "its not this hard at spurs"

hence my previous post bud :yes:

[1_Pablo_Angel]

ah, now it all makes sense...

[Alf]

no he signed for birmingham but bruce sent him back cuz he complaiend training was too intesive and that "its not this hard at spurs"

hence my previous post bud :yes:

Close.

He was negotiating with Birmingham, but his agent was an obnoxious cunt, and when given a tour of the training ground and told what the training regime was like he said something like 'We don't do that much running at Spurs' (which says it all when you consider the amount of fitness and diets Ramos has the players on).

He basically thought he was too big for Birmingham and only showed up to negotiate because we made him. So, Bruce cancelled the negotiations. Since then he's trained in Egypt.

[Simon]

no he signed for birmingham but bruce sent him back cuz he complaiend training was too intesive and that "its not this hard at spurs"

hence my previous post bud :yes:

His issue was with the lack of technical training in favour of fitness training, rather than just not being arsed with running. You only have to watch him play to know that he's far from lazy.

I was disappointed to see his Spurs career end so quickly, he looked like he could be a good player. Good engine, good passer and the best crosser we had at the club...his only problem on the pitch was occasionally trying too much, he'd ignore the easy pass in favour of something more difficult - a lot of the time he got the pass right, but when he didn't it caused problems.

Following on from Alex Ferguson bitching about the atmosphere at Old Trafford during the Blues game, a ManYoo fan on the Villa boards has posted some pretty interesting thoughts on the issue.

Fergies original comments

anchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson compared the Old Trafford atmosphere to a "funeral" during his side's 1-0 win over Small Heath Alliance.

Ferguson noticed the lack of voice from the 75,459 crowd after watching the match from the directors' box as part of a two-match touchline ban.

"That was the quietest I have heard the crowd, it was like a funeral," he said.

His comments come seven years after Roy Keane famously dubbed the Old Trafford crowd as the "prawn sandwich brigade".

Carlos Tevez's 25th-minute winner ensured the reigning Premier League champions began 2008 with a victory, but Ferguson was clearly unimpressed with the crowd's role in his team's performance.

"The players need the crowd sometimes but the atmosphere inside the ground wasn't good," said the Scot.

"There are some situations when we need them to get behind us and give us a lift."

Former Manchester United captain Keane made headlines in 2000 when he laid into sections of the Old Trafford crowd, claiming they couldn't "spell 'football', never mind understand it".

He later insisted that he was referring to the crowd in general, not just United's corporate fans.

And Ferguson has complained on previous occasions about the lack of atmosphere at Old Trafford.

"I think there have been days like this in the past," said the Scot. "It happened some years ago, when we were dominant.

"The crowd come to be entertained but sometimes we need them to help us get the right kind of performance."

And the thoughts of 'lemon', a season ticket holder that occasionally posts on our board:


Oh look, it's socialist fergie, back to spout more bullshit.

Seriously, what world is that idiot living in?

You stand up to get a song going, the next thing your arm is behind your back and you're being marched out of the ground along with your Season Ticket. £700 down the drain because you won't be getting the fcuker back.

Singers are spread out all over the ground. Appeals were made for a singing section in the lower tier of the Stretford End. They got rejected because there is a corporate section in there. Did 'working class hero' Fergie throw his weight behind the idea? Did he fcuk.

Did Captain Fergie ever back the fans in the Glazer takeover? Did he stick up for us when the price rises were brought in? (44% rise in 3 years)
Does he appeal for prices to be lowered or a section to be brought in for local kids? Ha!

They bring in the Automatic Cup Scheme. Thousands of locals give up Season Tickets which have been handed down through generations. They are replaced by Day Trippers and corporate twats on a jolly. Where was Fergie and his atmosphere brigade when this was happening?

So, you'd think Fergie would take his head for a shit until he understands the way United fans are being treated at the minute. We are facing our toughest period as fans. To say the hardcore fans are being treated like shit is the understatement of the century.

Makes you glad to support a club that seems to care about, and listen to its supporters a bit.

I wonder what Matt E, KMH, Turdy and Hutch, etc think about this?

Also you bastards had better stay off our bloody pitch this year when your inevitable 92nd minute winner goes in on Saturday. Unless you're in the upper tier, of course...

[Ringo]

MASSIVE game here on SS1 now. Come oooooon foootballl.

Most clubs are like that now though. Our stewards are getting ridiculous over the standing and the club have fucked us over with tickets, auto-pay schemes and the like.

It won't be long before your club goes that way too.

[JIJ]

"You'd think Fergie would take his head for a shit...."

:lol:

Never heard that before.

[1_Pablo_Angel]

I'm pretty hopeful it wont.

We've never sold our ground out consistently. The main 4 clubs around Brum, West Brom, Blues, us and Wolves get a combined attendance of around 100,000 a week. The size of the city doesn't equate to numbers of football going public like in London for whatever reason, so the likelihood of ticket demand exceeding/getting close to supply capacity isn't as high.

Plus when we redevelop the North stand we'll have another 10,000 seats in the ground.

Also there's the fact our prices haven't gone up for 3 years and in many cases have been reduced, plus the attitude of our owners to engage in open dialogue with fans at every opportunity.

Obviously this could all be a dastardly trick and they're going to sting us for everything they can get soon, but I've seen nothing to suggest that's likely to happen.

Our stewards are pretty damn good btw. Away fans can stand throughout without getting done, so can everyone at the back of the upper Holte and a good proportion of the Lower North. Long may it continue.

[Hlebsfall]

At least Arsenal have made an effort with the atmosphere creating the Red Alert section. Basically a block that turns a blind eye to standing.

[RFF Champ]

We really should have capitalised on our dominance :(

Another terrific goal by Elano

[1_Pablo_Angel]

I've never heard of anything of the sort at The Stadium of Light.

[Alf]

Give it time.

At ours its the council putting tons of pressure on the club about people standing. It might not be as much of an issue at villa and sunderland. I.e your council don't give a shit.

[Gary J]

I fucking hate Hull

Why couldn't they have go down last year? I blame Leeds

Hey no need for that mate.After all i dont mind stoke you took that useless waste of space parkin from us.

Plus surely you must have laughed as much as the rest of the nation when the white shite went down.

Middlesbrough and now this.

Fantastic.

I reckon there's a slight chance they will make 11th. Just because Newcastle are so shite.

It all depends where you sit at Old Trafford really. Whenever i've sat in the Stretford End upper I've been stood up for pretty much all the game as that's where the 'proper' (Peter) fans are. The South and North stands just aren't worth bothering in, the East Stand will sing a bit, but it's shit because you're sat down. I've not seen anyone chucked out for standing up, but then again people usually sit down although rightly frustrated as soon as a steward says something.
The problem isn't the stewards really, it's the shit fans who don't like people standing up. 1 person stands up on his own, and people behind moan so it's fair enough for the steward to tell them to sit down. You also feel like a bit of a prick standing up on your own trying to get a song going as well, unless you're pissed. If a full section of people stood up and started singing, shit fans and stewards would be pretty powerless about it, and the shit fans would either have to carry on sitting and not see anything, or stand up and join in.

[Alf]

We'll see come the end of the season :)

That was one of the shittest penalties I have ever seen. He hit it about 2mph to the right. Steven Hawking without the wheelchair could have flopped his dead lifeless body over to save that.

[Hulkamaniac]

FOR FUCKS SAKE! I am FUCKED OFF with our inability to score fucking penalties. As if we are in a position where we can afford to piss away a fucking simple shot on goal where all you have to do is miss the keeper.

We'll go and get beat now and I'll be thoroughly fucked off!

FUCKING HELLLLLLL!!!!!1;KLGEJSGKLJGSJDGJKLPGJIK

[Andy]

:lol:

Sunderland are shite.

[Peter Griffin]

you know i kinda like sunderland actually big kenwynes a gem shoulda signed for us :(

[Hulkamaniac]

I hardly think thats a fair statement to make.

I'm fucking sick, I literally cannot explain how frustrating it is being a Sunderland fan. We go away to a tough team to play, work our arses off in the game to try and get an easy chance. Take the best of the play, graft hard enough to be the better team and to deserve the chance when we finally get it. Cant possibly be an easier chance, a fucking penalty which once again, as we always do, we fucking miss. In my entire lifetime as a Sunderland fan I know that I've seen us miss more fucking penalties than score. That is ridiculous and I'm certain that its true. Its not flipping a fucking coin, its putting a ball in a virtually empty net. All you have to do is kick it hard or find a corner and its a goal. Yet time after time after time again we dont score them. Its not that the keeper pulls off a miraculous save, we fluff the fucking thing, kick it straight to the goalkeeper.

As if that wasnt bad enough luck. Desperate for the 3 points, in a position to put ourselves in control of taking it. Yet no, we dont just give up the two points, we give them a fucking penalty and see ourselves lose them all (lets be honest, thats what is going to fucking happen now).

I hate football. I HATE football. I fucking hate being a Sunderland fan.

[Gary J]

Yeah Kenwyne has impressed me this season.I think he will be instrumental in keeping Sunderland up.

[Andy]

Jones and Richardson (maybe Gordon) seem to be the only real quality players Sunderland have.

[Hulkamaniac]

Ah fuck off. I hate you.

[Hulkamaniac]

Fuck off Dwight. I fucking hate you.

[Andy]

At least you're not as comical as Newcastle mate. 2-0 down. :lol:

[Peter Griffin]

sam gone tomorow then?

[1_Pablo_Angel]

Doesn't sound like you 'gave them a penalty'. Blasted point blank at his arm was how the beeb described it, you can't really blame the defender for that.

I wonder how many penalties Brad Friedel has saved in his career. Probably millions.

SOMEONE PLEASE FIND ME SOMEWHERE ONLINE T BET ON THE NEXT PREMIER LEAGUE MANAGER TO GO. PLEASE.

Newcastle would be stupid to sack Big Sam he will get it sorted eventually.In fact they are already better then they were last season.Have those fans forgotten just how shite they were under Roeder and Souness it was never gonna change overnight.

pffffffft that's brilliant. Lowest points tally ever I reckon. Double figures at a push.

I fucking hate Derby too. Couldnt even hang on for a fucking draw. Load of shit. They deserve to get the lowest points tally ever, they are fucking toss.

Always good fun to see Newcastle lose too.

Boos ring out at Anfield. Best fans in the world.

[RFF Champ]

hahaha, go on Titus.


Faye had another great game and we looked worse when he went off. One thing I did notice was a lack of communication between the players.I often saw two players running for the same ball or missed passes etc. I wonder if the language barrier took its toll. We played well at times though.

Most people are saying that if we lose at Stoke then Allardyce will be gone. It would still be stupid and I can't see it happening. Ashley will probably wait till the end of the season then sack Sam if he hasn't done the business or just sell the club.

Saying that, we still have a few tough games to come soon and unconvincing performances and results could mean the end of Sam. There have been mumblings of a Shearer and Keegan partnership but I think Keegan has said he doesn't want to come back into pro football. In conclusion, I don't think Sam will be going anywhere at the moment.

Watch him go and get sacked tomorrow morning now.

[Hobbit]

ahaha Derby utter dross club, fuck off.

Nice one Titus :lol: LiverLOL

[N.E.R.F.]

[N.E.R.F.]

They had a minute's silence for the club secretary today, rather than O'Donnell...

[Hlebsfall]

I'm going Arsenal Newcastle. I hope he lasts until then, and they get smashed, just to see the look on his fat fucking face.

I would have gone but my mate can't get his Tesco shift changed. :(
