Ollie

Congrats Sh0n3x, hope you do well in the role. I'm sure u will do better than Vedran tho

Wow.... heard about this on SSN, that's some intent right there. Fuck off city, we can spend big too fuckers! Abramovich is currently the ninth richest person in Russia and the 53rd richest person in the world, according to the 2011 Forbes list, with an estimated fortune of $13.4 billion. Euro's and pounds are pretty much the same now so he's got a hell of a lot of dough and what is £50m if u have £13,000m?

2002 WC where they didn't qualify through the group, kinda revenge for us from '98 bastards. Group of death? not sure about that.... Sweden aint great, Nigeria were crap and England in a world cup? We're like the shittest team in a world cup. We drop to Scotland's level (No offence Scottish peeps!) in the big tournaments. To be honest i've never even heard of him and wasn't aware he was the Argie boss in 2002

We'll miss the Africans for Man Utd? shit. Well..... We had an 'easy' start last season and after beating Blackburn away we had our best start for 5 years. Look what happened. Anyway everyone has to play these games and everyone will have a tough spell or 2 so it doesn't matter when we play who.

Blimey, well best of luck for that Can someone change the thread title btw, it's 11/12 lol.

THe run in is very hard with those last few away games. Man Utd and Arsenal have VERY tough starts. Anfield 2nd to last brings back nice memories. Fulham home on Boxing Day. Tough opening game but we can't always have it easy. I believe we'll win anyway. I'm pretty happy with that. Gonna be in the Philippines between November 6 - December 8 so need to find a way to catch that Liverpool home game. Where there's a will, there's always a way anyway.

Opening days: 1999/2000 HOME vs Sunderland won 4-0 2000/2001 HOME vs West Ham won 4-2 2001/2002 HOME vs Newcastle drew 1-1 2002/2003 AWAY vs Charlton won 3-2 2003/2004 AWAY vs Liverpool won 2-1 2004/2005 HOME vs Man Utd won 1-0 2005/2006 AWAY vs Wigan, won 1-0 2006/2007 HOME vs Man City won 3-0 2007/2008 HOME vs Birmingham won 3-2 2008/2009 HOME vs Portsmouth won 4-0 2009/2010 HOME vs Hull won 2-1 2010/2011 HOME vs West Brom won 6-0 won 10, drew 1, lost 0. Last 5 have been at home.

After doing my finger with a stanley knife and then fucking it up again the very next day (yesterday) on the corner of a box, i'm alright. Those fuckers are sharp...

I can plan my holiday again tomorrow then, usually do the week from the Charity Shield to the first day but not actually sure when the season starts tbh. I don't mind who we get really, just don't want to see stupid spells like Man Utd, Man City, Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool all like in a row around x-mas. Lets get Swansea away.

Sunday 7:45 both games. I like this situation tho because it really gets you up for it. Win or bust, love it Just like the fucking world cup, 1-1, 0-0 then needed to beat Slovenia and just about managed it. Deja Vu.

That does look believable but we'll see wont we. Does look good tho, hopefully it'll get done quickly so he's got a few weeks before the first pre season game. He's going to a team that already love him which should really swing it.

cool, it's quality

So maybe we'll have an orange 3rd kit? Our UCL colour last season was green like our 3rd kit.... That ball is awful btw.

2nd half was good, only the goal missing but can't fault the effort. Mancienne was ok too in the 2nd half, the worst player on the pitch by a mile was £21m boy Henderson. We need to win the last game, we need to attack and we need to pick the right team. Albrighton should start, Delfouneso should start and maybe start Lansbury with probably Muamba holding. I think it needs a change.

Well we'll have to win against the Czechs to qualify, pretty much how we do everything = the hard bloody way. Must admit, i'm impressed with Lansbury, looks really good since he came on.

All those players and he brings on Sinclair and Lansbury. I don't know Lansbury but there are more proven players there than him. The last 15 minutes have been much better but we need to score soon because the time aint on our side.

I've not even seen Henderson in this game, the game's just passing him by. Whatever Pearce decides to do, change must happen in 10 mins at the earliest because this really aint good. These Ukrainians are diving cunts too i might add. We've upped the tempo a bit now anyway, COME ON!

Wow i was expecting a link from the Sun saying we're gonna put in a £50m offer for Ross Kemp.... He's quality actually, he goes to very dangerous places and interviews very dodgy ppl so i respect him a lot for what he does. Kinda miss him in Eastenders tho lol.

Albrighton should replace Mancienne, Rodwell then hold and i think Delfouneso should come on for Rose. Rose has not played all season except the last 3 or 4 games and yids used him at LB. Delfouneso and Albrighton have experience and are good players, especially Albrighton whom i rate very highly i admit. This team misses McEachran and Wilshere in truth.

I somewhat disagree with your Luiz remark. His last few games were very dodgy and lapse after his first few games were better. imo he should be moved into midfield because i don't think he's a defender. He's a bit of a disaster waiting to happen too. He will improve hut he's liable to give away a stupid penalty or make a costly fuck up. He's already given away 2 stupid pens and fucked up at Old Trafford and the Brittania. It will be a huge mistake to let Alex go because he's a beast of a defender and rarely makes mistakes especially high profile ones. Also.... Ivanovic is too good to be just seen as a back up.

This long ball football is fucking horrible. Danny's shot was brilliant and so unlucky not to have gone in but we don't deserve to be winning. The last 5 minutes has been better but these long balls have to stop, it's crap. H/T 0-0 Crap.

Well he only scored like 2 goals in his last 18 games or so last season and Barca need to make money to buy cesc-pit off Arsenal. Also as Torres' international strike partner it makes a lot more sense that it may seem. It's not gonna happen no doubt but it's reasonable imo. I reckon they'd take £28m

vedran takes bribes by sleeping with them.

Happy birthday mate, hope you had a quality day. Might check that museum out soon myself.
