Martyn 5 Posted August 13, 2007 Mccarthy I reckon. Van Persie is amazing. McCarthy scored 18 league goals last season. I think I will just leave it be for the moment. By the way...you would say VP is amazing, being an Arsenal fan and all ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shibby 1 Posted August 13, 2007 I was reading in The Times today, and basicly Newcastle had the most long balls played. Jeez Sam, It's not that you've go no quality players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zoom7000 148 Posted August 14, 2007 Big Sam will definately prove his worth if he can lead Newcastle after their recent years of downfall. I'm more worried about West Ham and how long Alan Curbishley will take to put his bloody good team on a good run! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shibby 1 Posted August 14, 2007 I've always doubted Martin Jol signings. They can be good, sometimes they can be um over priced. 16mill for Darren Bent? Come on! Zokora? Sorry this bloke is a joke. Whats with Paul Robinson? ?Has he not botherd to improve his aerial ability? ?He makes to many mistakes when the ball is in the air. ?He makes some good reflect saves, but I expect that from every goal keeper. At the moment I'd say Robinson and James are the only english keepers worth a place in the squad. ?The others don't seem to do much for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Martyn 5 Posted August 14, 2007 What a bad start for Spurs, and a lot of people have been tipping them to get into the top four this season as well. I think players like Jenas are holding Spurs back, he does not really bring anything to the team, Spurs need a few more midfield players, players like...Carrick :laugh:! I cant believe the Spurs fans are already booing their team off the pitch after two games, especially considering how they where licking Jol's bum last week...what great fans Spurs have. I bet Arsenal fans are delighted though :rofl:! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bet Arsenal fans are delighted though :rofl:! They are booing him because of the money he has spent and he continues to put out a side with hardly any of his new signings...of course Bale is injured and Prince Boateng is not match fit but the squad he has should get results on the pitch. Spurs fans will hope its just a blip and nothing serious because if not we could be saying...TAXI FOR JOL!!! :laugh: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zoom7000 148 Posted August 15, 2007 It's a case with a lot of the teams this year though. A lot of the squads are really good and should be bringing in results every week. However, listening to Five Live, I've heard a lot of people say they expect Everton to do well this year, which I found surprising after their last few "uninspiring" years. I'm sure Spurs will bounce back. Still though, ?16.5m for Bent... Hmmm... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NightCrawler. 8 Posted August 15, 2007 The strikers were the last place they needed to strenghthen and yet their manager still done it. Blame their manager. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damo R. 29,658 Posted August 15, 2007 The strikers were the last place they needed to strenghthen and yet their manager still done it. Blame their manager. I agree they had Defoe,Berbatov and Keane already there but they wanted to bring in Bent which I think they just bought because he wanted to be a Spurs player rather then wanting him for the position.

Damo R. 29,658 Posted August 15, 2007 Portsmouth 1 - 1 Man Utd atm...sounds a good game :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shibby 1 Posted August 15, 2007 Portsmouth 1 - 1 Man Utd atm...sounds a good game :D First half was well boring, the formation was rubbish. James Crainie - Pamarot - Distin?-?Hreidarsson Utaka ?- Pedro Mendes - Davis - Muntari Mwaruwari - Nugent It was awfull as Muntari isn't a wide left player, and Utaka can play the wing but is more central striker. Utaka and?Mwaruwari then played behind Nugent in wide postions. ? Now in the second half Traore on for Crainie, ?Taylor for Mendes and Hughes(DM) for Pamarot(Injury in 64th0 Taylor has moved to the left and Munatri in the middle. Now there is a storming match going on, end to end stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shibby 1 Posted August 15, 2007 It sounds Muntari tackle wasn't really much. It was in the Utd half and there was nothing, carrick just got up and thats it. I heard Ronaldo headbutted Hughes, the tough scotsman was still standing most likey wanted to return the favor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zoom7000 148 Posted August 15, 2007 City continue their new manager lucky streak. If Sven can finally cut it with a team like Man City, I may finally give him credit. It'll be interesting how they fair against a Man Utd side missing Rooney and Ronaldo. Should make for an exciting match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
