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

[Neil Pickup]

Since when has this got to with Inter Sam?

I just find it funny how Marc can dig at United when City aren't even in the same competition.

Exactly as much as it has to do with Coventry. Nothing.

See other posts for how utterly baseless and pointless that argument is.

We know our teams aren't going to win the league, we cling on to hopes of playoffs and cup runs and enjoy every second of them. Tommy still seems in denial that United aren't the pre-eminent side in English football any more.

My logice of a Euro super league is for 3 reasons

1) The Same clubs are Dominating there National leagues
2) They are gettting richer
3) it gets rid of them

The Team that should be in the Euro Super league

Arsenal, Man Utd, Chelsea, AC Milan, Juventus, Roma, Real Madrid, Valencia, Barcelona, PSV, Ajax, Feynoord, Rosenburg, Rangers, Celtic, Bayern Munich, Dortmund, Dinamo Kiev, Donesk, Porto, Benfica, Sporting Lisbon, Monaco, Paris St Germain, and about 8 others

Two leagues of 16 play 30 games plus Midweek Champions league syle cup competition


The Rest will play in an Old Style Euro cup/Uefa Cup with there own Leagues

Clubs However will compete in the National Cup


What do you think

Losing the big teams will result in money being drained out the lower leagues, through both a loss of ticket revenue (part time fans) a massive (and I mean massive, who wants to watch Bolton?) decrease in TV deals.

We've got to live with them, I'm afraid.

PSG are over-rated.

 

[Craig]

I wouldn't say they are just because of one defeat.

Even though they below United in Premiership IIRC?

Far too inconsistent, and I will deterime their chances on who they sign in January.

You never answered my question, you really expect Everton to stay in 3rd spot all season. It's a bit like Lecce or Sevilla, or Wolfsburg in Serie A, La Liga, and the Bundesliga.

What is so wrong with Bolton?

I for one wish them every bit of success on them and I hope they make it into the UEFA Cup in the next few seasons (either by finishing 5th, or get in via FA or league Cups).

A point behind with a game in hand - And Benitez is looking quite good IMO - don't forget they've got the best English player to come back into that side.

I don't see why not - they've done very well so far, and seem to have a real team ethic.

The same as I still cling on to hopes of the league. Stranger things have happened.

Yes, well at Christmas we were first, and look how wrong that went.

There's plenty of time for the wheels to fall off there, and they don't have much money to provide cover. Their less than large squad could prove a problem as the season goes on.

Yes, while we've got Horse to come back yet - a big bonus.

With his whole what, 2 goals in the league this season?

And 1 of them was a dodgy penalty.

 

[roseboy64]

Alan Smith's a huge disappointment.All Man Utd did was give Leeds money for nothing.Diego Forlan is oodles better.

 

[roseboy64]

12 goals in 3 European games.11 goals in what 9+ Premiership games.Weird.

Over-reaction for the day.

That's all very well and good, but unless they start winning games and start moving up the ladder, then that means nothing IMO. They still haven't been convincing for me in both Europe and in the Premiership.

Remember Charlton last season - at one point I geniunely felt that would make it intqo the Champions League.

 

[Craig]

Watford 5 - Southampton 2.

Lol!

Everyone goes through bad form. No-one here denies that he's class (I hope).

 

[marc71178]

He's good, but I don't think he's as good as people tend to make out.

He's not that great

Smith has probably been one of the least dissapointing players this season, i dread to think where you'd be without his goals

 

[Tom Halsey]

Neither is Henry (he never scores in big games) but people still make him out to be brilliant. Granted Horse is overrated at times, but he's still excellent, no?
