*Official* English Football Season 2006-07

[grecian]

West Ham are ****e, as Brumby predicted many moons ago, the Argies have been a disruptive influence.

In other news Exeters slide towards depressing mediocrity has been allayed for a day

 

[Neil Pickup]

What changed things today is that halfway through the first half, the referee made a string of shockingly inept decisions which stopped the crowd abusing Taylor, Buckle and Jones and got them abusing him and the Dagenham keeper (wittily labelled "fat prick" by the twelve year old stood behind me) instead.

There's nothing, nothing better than 90th minute winners in front of the bank. Except 90th minute winning own-goals scored by centre backs who'd spent the whole of the previous 90 rolling on the floor and whinging.

City til I die, City til I die...

When in doubt blame the bench warming Argentineans who can’t even speak English…

Similar Rovers problem is that we have too many Blacks playing for us, disruptive influence those Africans you know…

Kind like the Newcastle fans who blame Asprilla for what happened to their title ambitions instead of King Kev.

The fact is West Ham, had won their opening game, and had finished respectably last year before Tevez and Maschareno had arrived. I'm not saying its the argentinians faults, but it has started to go wrong since they got there. Maybe thats the English players fault for making it effect them, but still the disruption has affected the results.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Matt Taylor has scored another screamer supposedly today.

Massive. Rugby drop kick really, except under the bar.

Such a comment could apply to any team who overachieves and subsequently does sweet FA the next season (Rationale for Ipswich Town‘s and Sunderland’s demise?). Wining your first game of the season against Charlton hardly means a great season is in store. With players of the calibre of Bobby Zamora (What happened to his England call up?), Marlon Harwood, Hayden Mullins, Christian Daily, Lee Bowyer, Jonathon Spector et cetera mediocrity is pretty much a given. Tevez and Javier can be blamed but only surely as a collective, why should they be signalled out considering they don’t even kick a ball and a far more low key than say Rio’s little of brother who (other than kicking a ball) assaults members of the public outside Essex nightclubs for a living. West Ham problems are far more reaching than the signing of two Argentineans, what ever Alan Pardrew and West Ham fans would make you think, easy scapegoat and all.

Also we finished in Europe last season, what's are problem? (purely rhetorical) other the fact that are European achievement just goes to show what a load of ****e this league is when you look past the top three of four clubs. Leading goal scorers, fifty five year old Nwankwo Kanu and a Mick called Doyle, give me a break.

Antons injured, so a bit harsh to blame him, as I've already said I don't blame the Argies, just said it was not the great leap forward that was hyped. Bowyer, Harewood and Mullins (player of the year, btw). Personally I think the Irons went downhill after they got rid of Redknapp.

 

[aussie]

Beckham started & had another brilliant game, but Real lost. Ah well looking foward to the Rome derby 2moro (or rather later today)

 

[superkingdave]

must have been watching a different game to me then. Thought he was decidedly average. Fluked a freekick and Comms frothed over every pass over 10 yards he did as usual.

 

[Neil Pickup]

What, they're kicking off at quarter to midnight?

Just seen Matty Taylor's goal. Decent hit...

I don't know so much about yer Mackems, but at least part of Town's sophomore slump problem was bringing in expensive, overrated foreign mercenaries (Matteo Sereni, Finidi George, some mediocre Slovenian centre-half & a French winger called Le Pen who lasted about one game before injury) who arsed up the squad ethos & sent the club into relegation & administration. So there are parallels to be drawn with The Irons' pet Argies.

nah man, he was in the game all the time & looked good in a more central role, except for the last 15 mins of so when Sevilla were really on top.

 

[roseboy64]

Almost 10 points ahead now WTF haha, come on United...

Yeah 9 points...

 

[roseboy64]

Anyway, Arsenal have my support tomorrow.

One of the best goals you'll ever, ever, ever see. Although no doubt that just like his wonder-strike against Sunderland last year, it won't win goal of the season on the grounds that it wasn't scored by Steven Gerrard.

 

[Craig]

And not Frank Lampard, Michael Ballack, Wayne Rooney etc.?

City til I die, City til I die...

Last year at OT I hear an 8 year old boy shouted out at Damien Duff and said: "Duff's mum is a slut".

If I were his parent I would be fuming for using such language. But then again it was probably his parents where he got it off from. Monkey see, Monkey do.

It was a very good strike yes, but did allow a bit to luck (and to be fair, Tourette's Timmy didn't do a great deal to try and stop it) - it may win goal of the season, but it wouldn't surprise me if others did (van Persie's against Charlton for instance)

That was a shinner and everyone (including Brumbers) knows it.
