***Offical*** English Football Season 2004/05

[Craig]

i guess thats why italy has done so well at recent major championships, because they are technically better?

Yes, and that is also makess their league so good, shame people don't seem to realise it.

BTW is it true that Robson has been sacked by Newcastle? Big stroy indeed if true.

 

[marc71178]

Is the Italian league that good then?

Results in Europe wouldn't suggest that.

 

[Craig]

Oh no, well name me many better than him?

Dejan Stankovic, Steven Gerrard, Pavel Nedved, Edgar Davids, Ronaldhino, Frank Lampard, Robert Pires, Luis Figo, Zinedine Zidane?

 

[marc71178]

Of that lot, Gerrard and possibly Zidane, the rest, in your dreams (Stankovic?! )

 

[Simon]

Stankovic - no, Gerrard - maybe one day, Nedved - completely different players, davids - no, ronaldinho - completely different, not better anyway, lampard - lol no, figo - this is getting silly now, zidane - yes hes better....

 

[Craig]

Is the Italian league that good then?

Results in Europe wouldn't suggest that.

Last season wasn't so great, but neither did England (maybe except for Chelsea in the Champions League and to an extent Arsenal) or Spain (read the same with Deportivo).

Three Italian teams were in the CL semi finals the season before last.

news flash....

sir bobby robson sacked from newcastle !

 

[luckyeddie]

Hands up who never saw THAT one coming?

 

[Simon]

hardly a surprise after putting shearer on the bench on the weekend, he really was writting his own release papers on that one. not to mention not even selecting kieron dyer!

 

[superkingdave]

LOL at Manure

 

[Simon]

theyre already in trouble, i watched about half a minute of the game so i cant judge how they went.
i find it funny that a website i went to before described them as "Alan Smith's Manchester United"

 

[marc71178]

7 points adrift already - only played 4 games!!!

Where's Halsey?

Where's Halsey?

[marc71178]

They have Hills that far south?!

 

[Simon]

my english geography is rather medicore, so im not even gonna attempt a smart **** comment there....

Marc said that Vieira is one of the best midfielders in the world.Nedved is a midfielder so how he plays shouldn't affect the fact that he's a better midfielder than Vieira.

 

[roseboy64]

That being said Ronaldinho is better than Vieira too.

 

[Jamee999]

What!

Viera is in the top 10 in the world and secondly that's like comparing chaulk and cheese. Striker vs Defensive Midfielder :S

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Solksjaer is a better bet than Saha, that's for sure - he has a superb scoring rate.

And talk about not being at full strength, a side that has won their first 4 games scoring 16 goals still has 2 of its key players waiting to come back (as well as Edu who is fast becoming a big player for them)

Solskjær, even...

*creeps back out of the discussion*

Reid has money to spend!

Unfortunately it's from the sale of the God Davenport.

An immense game on his final appearence tonight only matched by the worst referee ever seen.
