The English Football Thread

Just imagine how many happy football fans there will be when Fergie retires.

Believe me it wont just be the end of fergie, it will be the end of United.

He was the worst player on the pitch, couldn't pass the ball to save his life, couldn't even cause 35 year old Gallas any problems, he was in his pocket all day.

He's also the worst player for offsides I've ever seen in my life, he cannot stay onside for anything.

Benteke is a decent player, but he was awful that game, so stop trying to blame his performance on others, he was still the worst player there.

Actually Benteke caused 2 goals for Spurs with his shocking passing, just simple passes which lead to Spurs counter attack.

Kojo like I posted in the Benteke transfer thread, the guy was hyped up cause of his performance over l'puke. After seeing l'puke get bitch slapped by Stoke yesterday, both you two should blame the media. Benteke is just like Lukaku. Great Young talent that needs work. IMHO CFC has the better prospect. In the case of Benteke, I would rather take Carlton Cole back. At least he has shown progress in his career.

Liverpool get bullied, they got completely bullied off Lukaku, it was the best game I've ever seen Lukaku have.

Ha, ha I feel the same way. There is no power forward in l'puke's attack. I am thinking Rodgers is the CFC Man of the Year. He convinced the dirty red scousers that they didn't need a proper #9 He has single handily destroyed that side this year. They are on a one way trip down the table

Though to give Rodgers some credit i think he's done a great job with youngsters, they are playing really well for there age.

I don't think they will get top 4 at all, because they just lack the physical abillities and such, and can Rodgers make them better?, we will have to see, hope not and doesn't look like it. It would be very funny if they finished like 10th or something.

Funny that you typed that. The commentators for that match were constantly talkin' about how great this side is & how Stoke is over-achieving :huh: Man I am just amazed how l'puke has so many supporters in the Media. It's freakin' amazing. Even on the commercial breaks there are ads to buy the Series Being l'puke. I am like WTF? Did I not witness Greatness @ Camp Nou? I hear all this stuff about Da Messiah, but in his only encounter vs The Blues he is held in Check. Not only that, Supa Frank picked his pocket in one match to setup the winning goal.....Sorry for the rant. Just call me a red hata & a Blue Supporter

Good lord, man, I never suggested he wasn't poor against Chelsea I merely added that the entire team was atrocious and singling him out was absurd. When a team loses 8-0 and their goalkeeper was the MOTM for them then there's plenty of blame to go around.

Even in spite of that, he did have one intricate play late in the game versus Chelsea that did show quite a bit of class.

The lad ssut turned 22 a few weeks ago and for all of his "shocking" passing he's also had some brilliant top level play. Is he wasteful? Certainly. Does he make mistakes? Absolutely. Should he have more goals? Yes. He's only played 16 premierleague games so it's a bit premature to peg him.

That being said he's a raw and inconsistent yet immense talent and if Villla was a bit more developed he would have more opportunities.

That's because of how good they where a long time ago, and a lot of people lived through that time.

Like most people my age support Arsenal, because when i was a kid Arsenal where the best team in England. Though i never liked them, once a blue always a blue.

Yeah, but I live in the time & now. Also I am across the pond, but all I hear is about the greatness of l'puke. Ok I will blame Lebron & Henry for that bs

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

Just remembered that United lost the title to City in the dying seconds in the final game of the season.LOL good times.

"I was demonstrative but I was not out of order. The press have had a field day. The only person they have not spoken to is Barack Obama because he is busy.

"It is unfortunate but I am the manager of the most famous club in the world. Not Newcastle, a wee club in the north east.

"I was demonstrative. I am always demonstrative. Everyone knows that. I am an emotional guy. But I was not abusive.

"I shouted Mike over. We walked towards each other. I was only on (the pitch) three or four yards. That has been overplayed.

"The problem for me is that the profile of this club is huge.

"Alan Pardew has come out and criticised me. He is the worst at haranguing referees. He shoves them and makes a joke of it. How he can criticise me is unbelievable. He forgets the help I gave him, by the way."

What a grade A cunt you are, Rednose..

[Ankit 3,176]

Fergie on Pardew: "He is the worst for haranging referees. His whole staff, every game. He was at it the whole game on Wed. He shoves a ref then makes a joke of it, then he's got the cheek to criticise me. It's unbelievable." Fergie says focus on spat with Dean is price of being at "most famous club in world" not a "wee club in the north-east like Newcastle"-Twitter

I always thought i should respect the old man but then he comes up with these statements and i feel 'what a dick'. Also had Jose said the same thing, he would be enemy no 1 right now accordIng to the English media. Bunch of hypocritical fucks.

[Laylabelle 9,535]

So redknapp and mancini look to be getting fined yet fergie yet again gets away with it..

[Shogun 721]

And now everybody is talking about Fergie rather than his sides frail defence... it's little surprised Hes won so much.

Well until one can stop their scoring, the frail defense is irrelevant. I hate the fact that the refs are in their back pockets. They have some of the best refs on their payroll

This is a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

Anyone on here except TX who still would prefer to see Manure win the PL if we don't ....I certainly prefer Mancini to Ferguson as a decent human

being compared to an absolute pig. I also prefer City fans to the glory hunting arrogant Manures.

[Ollie 4,400]

I'm just fed up with teams bottling it against them. How many times have Man Utd been behind this season? How many did they lose? Bottlers. They're not a great team, just an extremely lucky and fortunate one. We'll get them at Old Trafford this year, i can sense it.

You got it

He deflects criticism away from the players, paints a bullseye on himself and builds up rivalry...

The players now have to respond to this, and as history has proven, they usually do.

I wouldn't call it genius, but it's very effective for him and the team.

He's particularly motivated to reclaim the title this year, with a weakish squad (except attack) and is doing well. I certainly wouldn't mind the results they've dug out in recent weeks

Hope we win on Sunday though, hope you guys get 4th

not quite correct ,,he does it to bully officials ,,,,not deflect criticism from his players that was Jose's trick .. Incidentally someone Fergie was afraid

to take on .
