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

[Craig]

They wanted to win it so much that they rested Henry and co?

But Marc wasn't that more do with the fact Arsenal had been playing quite a bit at the time (more then 1 game a week) and Henry had been playing in a pointless friendly with Holland?

Another question I have is, how long do you think Adrian Mutu will get suspended (assuming he does which would seem likely) since he has admitted he tested positive and is in rehab and having councelling?

I don't know if he would get 8 months like Ferdinand, but being a big name (the Romainian version of David Beckham), then he may be used an example.

6months

 

[Craig]

Do you think they will try to sell him when his suspension is over, since terminating his contract with over 3 years left would be very very pricey.

Sam since your Norwegian, are you happy or angry that Rosenborg lost to PSV?

Angry. Swore badly at the TV when the 2-1 goal for PSV came up...means they've got no chance of UEFA Cup either...

Sparta 0-0 Man U, Panathinaikos 2-2 Arsenal made me a bit more cheery, though.

I think they'll be able to sack him for free in terms of gross misconduct.

And by rights, it ought to be at least 15 months (near identical to Graham Wagg) - can anyone recall what Bosnich got?

 

[superkingdave]

9 months

The only player they rested was Henry I think. And besides, once they were 1-0 down, he was straight on.

This would mean no pay-off though.

Nine months and a terminated contract.

For such a gifted player, it really is his own fault that he has not achieved his full potential.

Mutu would have left in the summer transfer window anyway after his falling out with Mourinho.

I hope Inter don't sign Veron to permanent deal, but in likely hood that is what will happen.

 

[Neil Pickup]

There's only one Alex Inglethorpe!

Exeter City 3 (Devine, Taylor, Gaia)
Aldershot Town 1 (Sills)

Only three points off the play-offs now, and it's the FA Cup next week.

UTC!

[marc71178]

Tranmere + Everton + Chelsea + Bournemouth + Wigan + West Ham = £280

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Rāěhěûtflỹỏỹhẵtrỏỏtlk?

It might have been funny if it contained a single letter in Norwegian. As it stands, it is an awful attempt at Hungarian.

 

[marc71178]

Jamee had his good post for the year in the worst book thread - expect another one some time late in 2005.

 

[Craig]

Ok lets end this, who will win tonight, and will Man U stop Arsenal's run and give themsleves any chance of winning the title. By respect for Ruud van Nistelrooy went up ten fold when he did not react to having that useless old shite Martin Keown jump all over him.

IMO Jens Lehmann has successfully made himself look silly after saying he should be Germany's number 1 yet he keeps making blunders.

But how good are Everton going

 

[Neil Pickup]

So long as it's not United, I'm happy.

 

[superkingdave]

25 mins in and already 2 highly contentious decisions by the ref. Ferdinand could have been sent off and how Neville wasn't booked for that tackle from behind on Reyes ill never know

 

[superkingdave]

I see Ronaldo and the Horse have been giving Rooney some tips recently...

and what was up with that celebration from the Horse, anyone would think that he'd won the world cup not converted a penalty someone else won.

 

[marc71178]

A very dubious game in terms of decisions...

 

[Neil Pickup]

I think Mike Riley was pretty much dead on with all of his calls... and Utd probably should have had a second penalty.
