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

[Pratters]

Barca, Milan an Juventus will all go through the next round. Better luck next time Chelsea.

 

[Tom Halsey]

a) No I wouldn't because it was a foul.

b) They between them cut off Pires' route and thus impeded him illeagally.

a) If that was a foul, then most of Ronaldo's dives were also fouls.

b) How exactly? There is no way a prod is cutting him off.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Ferdinand, G Neville (defensively), Scholes, and actually quite like Giggs.

So Horse's goals in Europe in mean nothing?

He's 2nd in the all time list, and he's played about half the games Raul has. Yes, comeplete crap, I agree. How many goals has the oh-so-great Henry scored in the pinnacle of club football?

 

[superkingdave]

About 35 IIRC, he's fourth in Champions League after Raul, Horse, Shevchenko

 

[Craig]

Champs league draw has put up some brilliant ties.

Barca vs Chelsea
Milan vs Manure
Bayern vs Arsenal
Leverkusen vs Liverpool
Real vs Juve
Porto vs Inter

and
Werder Bremen vs Lyon
PSV vs Monaco

Whoever wins the Barcelona and Chelsea match wins the Champions League for me. The Real Madrid and Juventus game will be execellent. Porto shall be too weak for Inter Milan (with Adriano in the form he is in).

Monaco could be the surprise packet.

 

[Craig]

I think the QFists could be....Chelsea, Milan, Arsenal, Liverpool, Juve, Inter, Lyon, Monaco

hopefully...
Liverpool vs Milan, Chelsea vs Juve, Arsenal vs Lyon, Inter vs Monaco
with Semis
Milan vs Inter, Chelsea vs Arsenal

Chelsea vs Milan final

But who to win?

 

[Tom Halsey]

About 35 IIRC, he's fourth in Champions League after Raul, Horse, Shevchenko

In how many games?

So Horse's goals in Europe in mean nothing?

No, because he's a 1D striker.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Isn't goals what strikers are meant to get?

 

[Neil Pickup]

Exeter City 3
Dean Moxey 51, Steve Flack 64, Sean Devine pen 89

Scarborough 1
Neil Redfearn 21

 

[Tom Halsey]

Ooh, Exeter are warming up nicely for their FA Cup thrashing.

 

[roseboy64]

The Chsmpions League games aren't till next year.Some new signings may be in by then so winners acn't be predicted yet except for cases like Porto vs Inter.

 

[roseboy64]

I thought he was suffering from an achielles injury?

Do forgive me though, my internet has been playing up of late.

Yes he is out.That's what I was commenting on.He's possibly going to be out longer than expected too.

 

[marc71178]

Isn't goals what strikers are meant to get?

And what about the misses?

 

[Neil Pickup]

Tonight's MotD - a showcase in how not to defend. Norwich, Palace, West Brom, Saints, United - all dire.

 

[Craig]

The Chsmpions League games aren't till next year.Some new signings may be in by then so winners acn't be predicted yet except for cases like Porto vs Inter.

I wouldn't actually say that. Who Inter sign (ie defenders that are pretty good and not cup tied) will determine how far they travel in the competition.

 

[Craig]

Jermain Defoe was not picked for Euro 2004 why? Yet he misses out for rubbish called Emile Heskey and Darius Vassell. Heskey scores for the first time in 13 matches, yep great player.

Maybe he has incriminating evidence against the English manager...

 

[Craig]

Juve - Milan 0 - 0

 

[roseboy64]

I wouldn't actually say that. Who Inter sign (ie defenders that are pretty good and not cup tied) will determine how far they travel in the competition.

I never said that.I'm talking about the next round.Inter will clearly beat Porto but for the other teams it's not so clear cut because new signings or a slump in league form may be factors.

 

[Craig]

That is what I'm saying about Inter, you never know what you will get from them. At least on the bright side that Inter are the only team undefeated in all the major top flight divisions in Europe.
