Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

so - Iank - are Liverpool going to beat the stuffing out of Chelsea - or what (as my four year old says)?

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

As much as I'd like them to, Liverpool have as much chance of beating Chelsea as Rafa Benitez has of a job at Anfield next season.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Still clutching at straws I see.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

No. No grounds for optimism here at all Im afraid.

Benitez could well still be at Anfield next season. I can only see him getting canned if new ownership comes in with the money to compensate him, and under those circumstances he may not want to go anyway. A change of ownership seems unlikely in the short term as Gillette and Hicks have got unrealistic ideas about the value of a club thats $230M in debt and still needs a new stadium and some marquee players if its going to challege the likes of Chelsea, Man U, even Man City. Those two dont have the balls or the footballing authority to fire him, and cant afford the compensation anyway, and no one else is likely to offer the salary and security he has now, so I dont think he will leave unless pushed.

I dont know if thats a good or a bad thing anyway, he's a good manager tactically, but I wonder if he lacks something in the way of motivational powers on a cold drab midweek league game away to Blackburn or Bolton. Whoever manages desperately needs some support for Torres and someone with a creative spark to unlock some of the less inspired games.

"Interesting" times ahead Im afraid...

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Oh, don't worry. You'll bounce right back up.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Possibly a point a piece I'd say. The Premiership this season has been unpredictable by it's normal predictable standards.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

No - just waiting for someone to f... up! Not quite as desperate as clutching at straws!

Unfortunately, I don't believe Torres will be playing. She's quite striking in her own way!

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Thanks for the belated karma there Iain, but do you think you'd have the willpower to not open the spoiler??

Let's test that... here you go :sneaky::rofl:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Once bitten, twice shy....Im not going anywhere near that link:sneaky: My eyes are still burning from the last picture!

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

But you should, it's quite amusing.

<although not related to footie. slaps greenhill on the wrist.>

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I'm sure there are some intelligent Americans/blondes out there, but it's videos like that which reinforce the opposite stereotypes. :thumbsup:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Dont care... I have this fear that its Jimmy Bullard and Robby Savage going at it with tongues or something!

Scholes and Neville... could it have been two bigger mingers I wonder < shivers >

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

You're calling the Ginger Prince a minger?? WTH???

If you can't have a little kiss and a cuddle now and again where would you be in life?

I'll even volunteer to kiss Torres if s/he make a miraculous comeback and scores against Chelsea.:o Not sure I could slip Gerrard the tongue though even if he does score:eek:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Yippee!!

Well done Maureen. :)

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Is that the girl Gerrard is shagging? If so, :thumbsup:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Maureeno? What's it matter to you?

Rubbish match.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

But a great contest.

Sick of the Barcelona love-in.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I thought it was funny when they turned on the sprinklers to stop Inter celebrating.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Not sure but I think Iain might have a good idea who it is.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Still not biting;)

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Impressive job.. that's about 25 hours so far.

Will curiosity get the better of you? If so you may as well just get it over with :rofl:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

How do the mods decide if something's within the rules if they don't open the pictures? ;) :p

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Generally someone would report it... And I'd palm it off on CO to take a boo:sneaky:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

FULHAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what an awesome win!!!

are there any other fulham fans in calgary?? or anyone who wants to come watch the final with me?

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Very good. :rofl:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

This is an epic rant from a Grimsby Town fan who posted on a messageboard after Torquay’s 3-0 win at the weekend essentially relegated them out of the Football League. :lol: :lol:
----------------------------------------


"Now I’m as optimistic as anyone when it comes to this **** of a football club, but after this afternoon’s latest capitulation it’s time to wake up and smell the coffee – we’re ****ed. Down. Goners. Non-league. To be honest I didn’t know how it would affect me, it’s not like it hasn’t been coming, but tonight I just feel absolutely deflated. Absolutely ****ing devastated.

I can’t get away from these emotions, I just want the whole world to just **** off and leave me alone. To help me come to terms with this whole mess, I’ve decided to compile a list of everyone and everything I want to **** off most of all.

For starters, work can **** off. If they think I’m going to be there on Monday morning they’ve got another thing coming. No way am I going in to spend time dealing with ****s that I can barely stand being with when I’m in a good mood, let alone this crushing feeling of anger, frustration and outright metaphorical-kicked-in-the-bollocks-ness.

Plastic Premier League fans can **** off. I just spoke to my Manchester United supporting neighbour (who incidentally, has been to Old Trafford before – twice) about Town’s predicament. You know what he said? “I know how you feel; it’s like when we failed to win a trophy in ‘95”. NO IT ****ING WELL IS NOT!

The girlfriend can definitely **** off. Her best attempt at consolation – “I don’t know why you’re bothered; you knew they were **** anyway”. Yes love, but they’re MY **** team. They’ve been MINE for pretty much as long as I’ve been able to wipe my own arse, and they’ll be MINE for as long as I’m alive (or at least, until I’m no longer able to wipe my own arse). Truth is, watching my team win does things for me that no woman can. If push comes to shove and I’m horny, I can always have a ****.

Barrow can **** off. I’ve been all over the country and beyond to watch my team, but frankly I just don’t have the stomach to visit any town which makes Scunthorpe look like ****ing St. Tropez.

Dad, you can **** off. This is your fault. Your idea. You introduced me to this shower of ****. “Come with me to Blundell Park”, you said, “Come and support the boys”. What could I do? I was ****ing four, what choice did I have? Why not get me hooked on Heroin whilst you were at it? I could have gone with mum shopping for bras and knickers at British Home Stores, but no, you knew best.

Granted, I’d have probably grown up a homosexual but surely even being simultaneously buggered by two guys named Seth and Quentin couldn’t hurt like this.

Seeing as we’re on the subject of homosexuality, Gok Wan can **** off. No particular reason, I just plain don’t like the annoying, goggle-eyed ****.

The F.A. can **** off. Not for supplying us, week-in, week- out, with inept referee after inept referee, but for imposing sensible financial rules on all clubs in League Two. How many clubs in this division have been into administration this season? Not one. How many points deducted? Not one. How the **** else are we supposed to avoid relegation – footballing merit? We didn’t have to last season, so why spoil the fun now?

The World Cup can **** off – I don’t care anymore.

My local pizza shop can **** off. I ordered a 12” Pepperoni over an hour ago, and where the **** is it? Are they trying to ****ing fly it to me or something?

Sky Sports can **** off. Nothing personal, but there’ll be little need for me next season with no Town to be found anywhere. Ooh, Bolton v Wolves, LIVE. I think I’ll pass...

The radio can **** off. On my way home from the match, whilst driving down the M180, I caught three completely separate stations playing ‘Down’ by Jay Sean at the exact same ****ing time. The song’s the best part of a year old, how the **** does that happen by coincidence!?

My nan’s old lucky Buddha that used to sit in her front room can **** off. When I was a kid I held it in my hands and wished for Town to be in the Premier League. I meant the proper one you fat ****, not the one occupied by Histon, Eastbourne and for ****’s sake, Ebbsfleet, wherever that is.

Tonight can **** off. I’ve had enough of trying to cope with my emotions; the time has come for oblivion. I haven’t kept any booze in the house since an occasion known only as ‘That Night’ by myself and the missus, but suffice to say that the toilet duck and luminous blue mouthwash are looking like stronger propositions by the minute.

Most of all though, the last 10 years can **** off. In that time I’ve watched my team fall from the top of the Championship into non-league nothingness. We’ve gone from one great big **** up to the next without even coming up for air, and today is just the big, **** off cherry on top.

One thing I’m sure of though is that we WILL be back. When it comes down to it, a football club is basically just a set of supporters, and frankly what I’ve learned in the last few years is that this one has some of the best. We’ve had to put up with some ****, haven’t we boys, but in spite of all of that the future is still bright – it’s ****ing black and white.

Grimsby ‘til I die..."

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

^^ Magnificent!

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

So IainK - was Gerrard paid?:sneaky:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Bit harsh to blame Gerrard. Manure were themselves comprehensively beaten home and away by Chelsea.

Though would like to believe it was a deliberate two fingered salute to SAF.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Well it's sort of nice to see that the EPL is still going on. The Football League is over now.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Is it, who won?

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

The same team that's won it every year that they weren't in the prem of course.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Would that be except when Ossie was manager?

Any way, smug git that i am what with Chelsea almost over the line. :unsure:
Manager of the season for me would be my best mates younger brother, who has somehow got Bournemouth promoted, with minimal squad and 24p in the bank.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Eh? the prem only formed in 1992.

But here's another trivia question. Which three current players have played in the EPL every year since then?

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Just Googled Ossie and not bloody far out.

The 3 curerent players. Ryan Giggs, David James and someone else:unsure:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Giggs, David James, and Sol Campbell?

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Harumph.

Yes.

<I've just beaten this out of my son who asked me that yesterday, he got it from watching The Score>

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Oi - less of the "manure" - which references the deaths of players. :frown: If you want to be disrespectful join the forum of your own team and rant and rave there. But since this thread is for forum members who support all teams I would ask that insulting terms not be used.

And the "comprehensively beaten" remark - did you watch the games - lots of very iffy reffing totally changed the results. Eg. Drogba's offside goal.
