*Official* English Football Season 2007-08

[PhoenixFire]

Quite difficult Man U, Arsenal & Spurs away among others & also Champions League distraction.

Yeah, pretty hard. Do you reckon you'll make it into 4th?

IIRC, Chalky supports Hartlepool.

Need to win against Bolton and Liverpool. Also depending on Chelsea's next two matches, Utd could be 5/6 points ahead come next weekend.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Could have sworn he was a Liverpool fan tbh.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Haha, back in the day I could have sworn Robbins was an Arsenal fan.

Anyway, rather irritatingly, Citeh getting the rub of the green with the decisions here.

 

[roseboy64]

Just tuned in to the match so can't agree or disagree with you.

 

[PhoenixFire]

FSR, I don't loath City as much as I do Liverpool, Chavski or Spurms.

No, Tom Halsey is correct I'm a Loyal Monkey Hanger (Hartlepool fan). Season Ticket holder & try to get to all the local away games (although every away game I have been to this season we have lost).

For the record aswell aswell our most famous fan Jeff Stelling other celebrity fans include Meatloaf who has been seen at Victoria Park numerous times.

We also hold the record for most consecutive games without scoring (13 in 1993) That was an entertaining season

Reading back on some of my posts I comes across as a Liverpool fan - I think it was just my eagerness to wind up the glory supporting Man U fans

 

[PhoenixFire]

Haha fair enough.

For anyone who hasn't been to Hartlepool before he's not actually being sarcastic here.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Onouha!

 

[GIMH]

How did Hartlepool play (can't trust local press).

Typical Hartlepool a sending off & own goal to help the opposition. Still only 7 points out of the playoffs so got an outside shot. Should have some decent games ahead also Forest & Swansea at home to come.

You were pretty poor tbh, dire game ITBT

Similar, I wasn't brought up to hate Citeh as I was the Scousers. Anyway, they are not really deserving of our hatred, they're too poor to be serious rivals, they're sort of like annoying kid brothers really. Don't really hate them, just like mocking them. Don't really hate the others, I have a genuine hatred of the Dirties though which is gradually receeding into mockery.

Indeed, you always know how the Hartlepool game is going by how excitable Jeff is.

 

[GIMH]

He must have been fast asleep on Saturday then

The Dirties...? That's a new one for me

 

[Tom Halsey]

Ah, Dirty Leeds.

Dream on Taffies

I have to admit, alien to my nature as it is, I do have some sympathy for Cardiff. The Welsh teams in the English pyramid used to be able to enter the Welsh Cup (in fact, if memory serves, Man Utd beat Wrexham in the 2nd round of their victorious 1991 Cup Winners’ Cup campaign) before the Taff FA set their own league up. Obviously it's their own prerogative to do so, but given Newport chose to play in the Conference South (& are one of the better supported teams as it goes, but that's by-the-by) rather than the Welsh league, one can assume it's not of a very high standard.

If the English FA sees fit to allow them to enter into our leagues, I don't see how it's fair that if they qualify for Europe that can't compete.

As someone that lives in a room overlooking a Welsh Premier team's pitch, i can tell you now, it's not of a high quality.
