Re: The Official Football Thread West Ham managed to pull a draw :D Will this allow them to remain in the Premier league for another season? Apart from Portsmouth which 2 other teams are going to the Championship? Promoted to EPL: Newcastle, WBA and the Play-off winner. :o

Re: The Official Football Thread Its good to keep hope as Liverpool will need to be at their very best in-order to stop Benfica from knocking them out at Anfield. Bottom Line for Liverpool: Forget this season, rebuild the squad with a new manager..someone that has been plying his trade in the...

Re: The Official Football Thread This is of course barring the potential youth of England. :D

Re: The Official Football Thread Sorry, I can't put prejudices aside. I reckon you are kidding yourself, there are a number of youth level players that are GOING TO DEVELOP into much better players when they begin to gain more experience. And you must take into account, Rooney has had...

Re: The Official Football Thread But Rodwell is a midfielder who can score from long-range, i'm sorry to all Everton fans but with Arsenal; Man Utd; Chelsea and a few other teams scouting him, he wont be a Toffee for very much longer. ;)

Re: The Official Football Thread He was just emphasised a bit too much when he made his debut for Moyes' team in the season where Everton were in a relegation battle. The current forwards of the England U-21, U-19 teams have FAR MORE talent than him (based on age group---Welbeck; Benik Afobe);)

Re: The Official Football Thread Nice way of summing it up. He's not that 'gifted' or 'talented' as a striker. It is clear in the EPL that the same 'profilic' strikers are at the top of the charts...eg. Rooney; Drogba; Torres; Defoe; Bent & Tevez (finally showed some ability). Here's my...

Re: The Official Football Thread I dont think Scholes has the legs to play a full-UCL game against a strong, tough-tackling side like Bayern. He should be used as an impact substitute for most of the games (VS difficult opposition). ;)

Re: The Official Football Thread Haha, hopefully Rooney is out for 2-3 weeks as this will show whether Man Utd have the strength/depth to win without their 34-goal-forward. ;)

Re: The Official Football Thread yeh. Bayern should progress, Gomez was the missing link in the losses to Frankfurt and Stuttgart (Bundesliga). as for the All-French Quarter-Final, Lyon are leading 3-1 but Lisandro and Govou are suspended for 2nd leg so Bordeaux have the advantage (Gourcuff +...

Re: The Official Football Thread you thought right about the Chelsea victory, although I dont think anyone predicted Villa to lose 7-1, particularly with Young; Milner;Carew in-form atm. Next weekend will decide who wins the EPL Title: IF Man utd win; they win the title...IF Man Utd draw...

Re: The Official Football Thread The only Holland defender that I can remember is Everton's Heitenga. Is Nigel De Jong part of the dutch squad? :cool:

Re: The Official Football Thread +1; Netherlands are the dark horse in this year's world cup. Sadly new Dutch sensation: Eljero Elia is out for the season. He wont stay at Hamburg very long. The only problem for the Oranje manager is who will play as GK? Is it going to be that Ajax goalie...

If your school was in the Top 100, you would of gotten 95+ with those course ranks. Particularly as you are first in 3U and 4U for English :cool: In saying this, if you finish top 3 FOR ALL SUBJECTS, you should receive an Atar of at least 90. :guitar:

Re: The Official Football Thread I still cant understand why Chelsea didnt accept Real Madrid's (2006) deal of 66 million for Robben + Ballack. Chelsea's clear problems: 1. Why did we buy Ballack...why doesnt he show the role of a GERMAN CAPTAIN at Chelsea?? 2. Essien is truly worth 4...

Re: The Official Football Thread I'm dumbfounded by how retarted YOU ARE. nice work, who would watch grown-men trying to hug each other with the excuse of an oval-shaped ball in their hands? Typical NRL game: "WOW, look at this boy, he's pushing all these guys away from him and running 30-40m...

Re: The Official Football Thread Man Utd can beat Bolton; Blackburn without the services of Rooney, maybe 18-year-old Joshua King (CF) will get some EPL time. Bayern aren't in that good form, particularly with Gomez injured and Ribery is not anywhere near 100% fit. If Nani replicates what he...

Re: The Official Football Thread The great news is that Cech is back :hammer: Also, Joe Cole showed some nice touches after he came on! The one piece of advice that Ancelotti should listen to: Get a Back-up CM/DM at the Bridge as MIKEL doesn't know what he is doing in front of the...

Re: The Official Football Thread I agree, the only channel that showed the 8 goals was SBS - Europa League Highlights - 3pm Sunday. The Anderlecht VS Hamburg game was very entertaining --> Lukaku will be moving this transfer window, Emirates or the Bridge? :D

Re: The Official Football Thread Chelsea were always going to struggle without key players like Ashley Cole and Michael Essien and to some extent Petr Cech. The Blues will finish 2nd this season, the only way Ancelotti can win the title is: WINNING at Anfield + Old Trafford and WINNING...
