My italics. But if we lose to the reed-and-white-stripy-buggers by any score then even King Kevin had better get a body guard around Toon.

:lol:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Not strictly Toon Army or EPL some good games in the Champion's League yesterday. Wins for Barcelona against Celtic, Man Utdagainst Lyon, Arsenal against AC Milan, and the shock result in my opinion of Fenerbahce beating Sevilla on penalties.

Lets see who else goes through today. Does anyone know why Liverpool are playing West Ham today and their 2nd leg CL game next week?

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Because the San Siro was used yesterday for the Arsenal - Milan game.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Hey Hook,

I watched your lot and it was a very good match with two excellent teams on the day. Arse deserved the result though IMHO. Someone told me that's the first time an EPL team have won at San Siro... is this true?

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

First time any English team have beaten Milan at the San Siro.

Fantastic match to watch, if frustrating til the final 10 minutes :)

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Far too many darkies for my liking.

<x-thread reference>

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

First time an English team have beat AC Milan there. We beat Inter milan there 5-1 a few seasons ago in the CL too.

I agree with the frustrating, but it was a fantastic game. Good point about the Liverpook game Bazz.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Oooo. Manure 0-1 Pompey.

Whatever next?

C'mon Barnsley!

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I don't even follow soccer (oops sorry football:p) and that's a surprise to me.;):rofl::rofl:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Yup. Prawn sandwiches are being spat out in disgust all over the soccerball-loving world as we type.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

If the teams below Newcastle win the game in hand they have over Newcastle, they will be in the bottom 3:eek:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Yup. No surprise today 3-0 to Pool. I'm getting very used to this.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Barnsley 1 - 0 Chelsea who'd a thought? :confused::):)

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Jose Morinho?

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Who he?:confused::confused:

As I said I don't follow footy anymore.:)

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Steve, I really, really believe you. :D

Jose = "The Special One", former manager at Chel$ea, fired earlier in the season for being a twat.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Wor Geordie's lost his penka.

Wor Yogi's lost his marbles..

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Me penka's fine bonny lad.

Reed and white stripy buggers 0 - 1 Toffees.

As long as them mackems are warse than us, woar alreet.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

you're welcome!

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Have we got to play your lot yet?

Hang on, I'll check.

Ooh yes. Last game of the season. We'll keep you out of Europe yet.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Some would say Yogi never had any marbles to begin with. :rofl:

But Yogi (aka Steve) has been in Canada now for 45 years why would he know or even want to who Jose Morinho is? :p

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

...and even a few raised eyebrows amongst the (lapsed) Pompey supporters. Didn't see the game but was mildly amused at the invective spouted by Ferguson in the press since - perhaps if his precious synchronised-diving team were a little less good at crying wolf the ref would pay more attention when they are actually fouled, as Ronaldo apparently was. Strangely, I can't bring myself to feel too much sympathy.

Looks like there is a realistic prospect of the cup spending a season at Fratton Park for the first time since WW2!

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I wondered when you'd be along. :D

Pompey have drawn WBA in the semi-final so still a couple of (quite low) hurdles to go.

Best of luck.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

If they do make it past West Brom I might even have to venture forth to a suitably televisually-equipped hostelry to watch the final...

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Dont get too used to it (the premiership that is)

The return of the messiah wasnt the only thing I prediceted in this thread...but if they do go down this year (and I think it a real possibility if they keep playing like they are) then they will be ahead of my schedule.

The first freaky goal pretty much summed up NUFCs season for me. AFter that they were dead men walking

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

...any old excuse, eh?

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

1-1 in Brum. We live to fight another day.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

<Proudly contemplates the very first shiny three points under King Kevin>

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

well done. just watched the post match interview, is it me or is kev looking more and more like bobby robson.

league decided tomorrow with a win over the scousers. watch this space. 1-0 utd.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Hi rae. Do you know the word "hubris"? If not, I suggest you look it up.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

OOOHHHHH!!! 4000 posts!!! How apt that it should be in the Mighty Toon Army Thread.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Shouldn't this be in the "What took you by surprise" thread?:p

I'll get me coat.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

No, no. I'll get it for you Steve.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Got to say as a Man United fan that the Asprilla signing was the best thing Keegan ever did...........

........you've made me get that seasons tape out again.....


......'I'd love it'

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Arrogance is only attributed to those who are not sucessfull yet boast about being so, or are overly confident when it is not justified. i do not think you could make either remark about utd, or their fans when they celebrate their success, i am sure when you avoid relegation this year you will be delighted.
my previous comments were not sarcastic, told you before i have a soft spot for kev from childhood days, do think he is looking old though, simple as that.

Man Utd 3-0 Liverpool
By Chris Bevan

Manchester United outclassed 10-man Liverpool to strengthen their position at the top of the Premier League table.

perhaps this reporter has a good dose of hubirs, then again maybe he is just reporting the facts. how nice it is not to be so bitter.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

That's "hubris", prawn-muncher.

Today's result seems to lend weight to the opinion that your American slave-masters are luckier than Liverpool's American slave-masters.

The Geordies are OK. We're going to live to fight another day against foreign mega-dollars and London-Manchester Commie Media-bollocks.

<muses, is rae thick enough to bite?>

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

what can i say, i love my team, no matter who owns them, how they do, what they serve on their sarnies or who buys them. always been a meat and potato pie man.

when you watch the match at home, do you take your shirt off, exposing the belly and scratch marks from the previous nights wife beating, like a true geordie fan.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Rae

agree with you I've been a Season Ticket holder since they got relegated in 1973/74.

Had to sit through a lot of rubbish since then but the good times eventually came back as they will one day for Newcastle.....

But whether you are a prawn sarnie eater, bread and dripping eater or meat and potato pie man spanning a hundred and something years.....nobody has ever seen Man United beat Liverpool in 5 consecutive league matches like they did yesterday.

Novacastrian......Newcastle will stay up no problem......there are at least 3 teams a lot worse than you.....I'm rooting for you because how would we get our impressive goal difference without you?
