Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Harsh words... though sadly I reckon you're right. Gooners faltering in the final straight and united never fail to stick it out to the end. All too familiar.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Hey, whaddo I care? Pompey in the FA Cup final - w00t!

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

yep, play up. nice to see the team that beat the champs will be succesful.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

who is your next manager going to be in the close season, my money is on lippi.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I hear BSA is looking for a gig.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

i just wonder why lippi is holding out, after the world cup you'd think he want to stay but no, juve turned down and now he appears to have drifted off the scene altogether. there is going to be a change i'd have serious money on that, and it will be international, not english, so if not lippi who else?, scolari?

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Fergie?

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

if we overhaul united(which i expect us to):p could still be grant.
not too big a deal as i think roman picks the team these days

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

If BSA isn't carefully he may find himself back at The Reebok. Rumours of a consortium, with him as figurehead, looking to buy out current owner Eddie Davies. I believe Freddie Shepherds name was also used in this rumour.
I'm sure there aren't too many Bolton Wanderers fans on this forum. Could I stay when/IF we get relegated???

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

need someone to make the teas

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

But of course you may, dear people. You are most welcome to grace our humble thread. A warning; if Fat Freddie Shepherd is sniffing around Wanderers, shoot the bastard on sight.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

There are plenty of people currently at BWFC that would be ahead of him in the queue for that privelege. Gary Mugson is first in line for the bullet IMO.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

ay. now steady.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

y'know, i think whatever he does he is done, does not fit the bill i don't think, simply a short term stop gap, which is a shame as he seems like a decent chap.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

you could do worse. i like BSA. (wait for it, novo will accuse me of courting popularity again) his big bullish style, good old fashioned english manager. doomed to failure at the poisoned chalice that is newcastle of course, apparently fergie warned him off it.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Indeed. Doomed to failure at Newcastle because he's a total w*nker who wouldn't know attractive football if it bit him on the ass.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

possibly, he is not exactly a master tactician, but i firmly believe that until you have a mass clearout at board level you can employ who you like, it will not matter. you cannot have such a turnover of top level players with the same results without a negative and nasty influence somewhere.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

But we did. And the new board fired BSA and brought in King Kev.

Job done.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

i think thats economical. we'll see.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

mmmm 2-2 borough, not good.
on a plus note barca on losing streak and ronaldinho and deco out so looking good for semi win then liverpool in the final for a monumental champions league win againt the TSB's.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I shall be exercising the privilege of the independent idler this afternoon and be down my local to watch the Pool-Gunners match.

Play up, play up! May the best man win.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

yes interesting, i am stuck doing insulation in the basement, deep joy, don't suppose you know off hand of sat radio over net i can listen to it on?
i've a feeling it will go on and on, very tight for obvious reasons with one moment of brilliance, probably a 20yd volley from GERRARD to settle it around 85 mins.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

No chance.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

... you git.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

For future reference go to www.channelsurfing.net on the day of the game and there should be an online feed of the game you want to watch. I watched it on ESPN Star Sports out of Asia and managed to avoid Tommy 'bulge in the old onion bag' Smyth's awful commentary. My heart goes out to Wenger...not.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Well, for a neutral, that was a lot of fun.

Classic really.

I must say I was very impressed by Walcott's run to make the second Arsenal goal, but props to Pool for not folding after that.

Pity about Chelsea.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Am I to assume from this comment that Liverpool did indeed win? :confused:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

:beer:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Oh yes. And very attractively too, <without taking anything away from the Arsenal's performance>. It was a very good match.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Enjoy it while you can. You just had to hear the different levels of crowd noise at Liverpool and Chelsea to understand why no-one likes the blues. As Barry Glendenning put it, "this is what happens when you price young people and the working class out of the ground".

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Gerrard didn't score from 20 yards out, in fact he had little influence on the match at all. He did however convincingly bury the dodgiest penalty in the history of football at 'around 85 minutes' and it did 'settle it' for the pool.

Gutted. Disgusted, and gutted.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Liverpool and dodgy decisions in their favour, seems it follows them into Europe too

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

At the 606 on BBC.co.uk even the bloody Utd. supporters are unhappy about it. A lot of them there are talking about the Kop end's influence on the decision, but there's no Kop at the Emirates and we got shafted there too.

Fantastic match to watch, I danced for Theo, but would have been better with a more forgiving ref and ITV commentators who don't have liverbird idols over their beds.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

As an Arsenal fan I agree it was a massively dodgy penalty, but the games over now and even if UEFA could/would look at the decision retrospectively it isn't going to change the result.

And there was I happy at 2-2 as it mean't we were going through unless Liverpool scored. It just means that I'll be cheering on Liverpool in the CL as they are taking the spot we would have. Who'd have thought another Liverpool-Chavski semi-final again?

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I agree and find it totally disgusting,Kenyon and others like him have grand plans for the game which do not involve traditional working class fans.i'll carry on supporting them from afar and leave the politics to others.
On a brighter note looks like Fergie will be without Vidic and ferdinand tonight and on sunday.Happy days.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

thanks i'll try it today to watch the champs

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

nope latest is that ferdinand will be on the bench with neville, don't be suprised if vidic is there too. starting with the wobbly pique and brown. still 2-0 up should do it, but not without the ususal wobble we seem to encounter at this time each year no doubt.
was not far off, in that gerrard knocked one in at the end, but my how wrong was i for the score. gutted i could not watch it as its sounds a classic from what i have read. shame about a dodgy decision spoiling what appears to have been an otherwise fantastic game.
on the tv note from post above, my norton security threw a fit, it has taken 2 hrs to fix, i have to bin the entire thing and get another firwewall from shaw, for anyone else be warned, this site may have problems for some.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

utd through, tevez my boy. barca difficult but with current injuries not impossible, think i was more worried about deco than ronaldinho.
thoughts, utd v liverpool in the final? who will wear red?
