*Official* English Football Season 2009-2010

[duffer]

A rather horrific performance but hilarious result. Just going to ignore our "defence" for now.

Heh @ Mannone starting a Champions League game before we qualified. Love our depth.

Wonderfully blatant handball from Song for the second too.

Just pleased we got away without serious injury, especially considering Axel Witsel was playing for Standard.

Who also happened to be yards offside. Still, that makes up for the Standard penalty which was positively divealicious.

Did anyone get a touch before Song? He wasn't offside from the free kick...thought it went straight through to him

Seemed to me like it got a flick-on in the box and so Song (and whoever was next to him) was offside. I stand to be corrected if there was no touch.

Yeah, agree with Dav here, don't think there was a touch so no offside. Just the handball then.

Michel Platini scores against an English club, figures

Going the game on Sat grecian?

Going the game on Sat grecian?

Should be, barring any catastrophes. Wouldn't miss a relegation six-pointer

 

[GIMH]

Won't be making the trip myself but a few mates of mine are. Look out for this idiot, I'm sure you'll spot him:

He's a good mate of mine but his rather, erm, obvious appearance generally attracts a lot of attention from oppo fans and I doubt we'll have many down there. If you could get a 'James Yeardsley is a wanker' chant on the go to really freak him out that would be super awesome.

[Retox]

He looks like a lovable chap

 

[grecian]

Umm, us chanting anything at home would be a miracle, particularly considering a less-then-stellar start to the season. Very hard to get a chanting repartee going tbh with the two standing bits at opposite ends. So your attractive looking friend will probably be saved, which is good, coz he looks a delicate soul.

Still, should be fun for your lot standing in the Devon sun, closest you'll get to a tan all year. Also that entire end will feel like you've been transported to 1984, so that'll be nice for the older ones amongst them, and a new experience for others. Only get the full effect when there's a chilly gale-force wind hitting you from all sides, but you can't have everything.

Lucas Neill joins Everton.



EDIT: On an Everton note, how superb has Pienaar been so far this season? Come out of nowhere.

 

[sledger]

Superb enough to be second bottom in the league.

IF YOUR TEAM ISN'T PLAYING WELL, NONE OF YOUR PLAYERS CAN BE PLAYING WELL.

Not really come out of nowhere, has been touted big time for a few years. Personally don't see much in him, but hey.

 

[Uppercut]

He's a bit like Alex Hleb- nice first touch, good technique, all looks very pretty, never ever ever has a hand in the scoring of a goal. Footballing equivalent of Daren Ganga.

I take it you missed his awesome strike last night?
