Here was one at the game today. He looks like a pretty tough character.

Tough, possibly. But Geordie or no, a prat.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Novo, it was the "Arry ain't going to jail" team uplift that did it. Yes, we were good today but Newcastle have big injury issues too. They'll bounce right back.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I f***ing hope so. The last 6 games have been WWL WWL. If they have any sense of rhythm it'll be WW against Wolves and the Mackems. If not, that's game up. But at least they'll stay up which was rather questionable at the start.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Tiote is an excellent player and with out him Newcastle are very soft centred.

Spurs were irresistable today! I remember the end of the season in 1995 when we had Klinnsman, Popescu, Anderton & Sheringham and thought we'd push on and challenge for the title the following season.

I just hope we don't hit the same type of summer this year which I am starting to fear should Redknapp leave.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Mick McCarthy's fired at Wolves. Not too surprising.

Oh, and I haven't been following the ACN too closely, but it seems we'll have Tiote back before then and of course Cabaye has now come off suspension.

It's obvious that Wolves will win the match on the 25th.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Zambia won it on penalties! First time in their history.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Best fact of the day
Ryan Giggs has played more Premier League games than Manchester City :rofl:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Blue Moon has eclipsed the red half. Who cares.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

A massive 2 points clear is it, and seemingly more nervy by the week...


Lets talk about an eclipse once you have a couple of champions league wins under your belt;)

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Obviously the Massives do. Lets wait till April or May to see what transpires.
I hope it will be a case of Blue Moon you started singing too soon, and Utd fans dropping their trousers and showing them a full moon.
Just hope they meet in the Europa League Final.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Eclipsed.

Champions Leagues are in the past. You are starting to sound like one of those Liverpool fans.

"Who cares if we support racism and our club has no values we won the Champions League once and Alan Hansen is on match of the day". ;)

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I didnt say anything about Liverpool so thats an awful lot of inacurate conjecture on your part.

I just pointed out that the Dubai project hasnt actually WON anything other than an FA cup yet, let alone started to eclipsed United. Its taken Utd 20 years to pass Liverpool. They are 2 points clear at the moment, but the grip on the league doesnt look that firm to me of late, maybe once the ACN players are back it will improve, time will tell.

Im a liverpool fan, I dont care for United any more than you do, but at least I can keep it in perspective:blink:

(See, I didnt even have to mention the 18 league titles, 7 FA cups, 3 UEFA cups , 5 European Cups/ Champions leagues etc etc etc, after all , thats the past right, and tradition doesnt count for anthing in this day and age.)

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I thought James was Spurs and anyway gives a naff about northern clubs?

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I was just fishing for some lunch and managed to reel in a big one!

The only north western club left is Everton. The rest are franchises now.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

You can only be a "club" in the premiership then? How sad (or ignorant) is that outlook:rolleyes:

Obvously northern geography isnt a strong suit either, or do you have a problem with Wigan and Boltons ownership?

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

They are all Football Clubs.

Once you get past the Watford gap it does tend to blur.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Another jumped up cockney who I bet can count on one hand even without using fingers how may European or Champions League Cups the London based clubs have won.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

We all know you're not a real Manure fan- so stop pretending.

You are from Rochdale!

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

If I was I could still claim that Rochdale have won as many Champions League trophies as the London clubs have;)

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Any chance of getting this thread back on topic rather than comparing dicks?

That Lionel Messi seems quite good.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Too small for the Premier League :lol: Im surprised Citeh didnt offer a gazillion for him.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Even in the fractious nursery that is BE, I cant see anyone arguing against that...





:fingerscrossed:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Surely he would have to come from Surrey for that ?

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I've just watched Barca beat Leverkusen 3-1. He's hard to believe.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

He's not even from England. He's a bored Border Patrol person who spends his days looking on this forum and wishing he was English. He actually originally thought Manchester was in Asia given the demographic of supporters that they have. But he has a shirt now from Sport Check and everything.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

So anyway.

Is this Messi chap better than Maradona? This is becoming a debate I increasingly have with people.

Maradona won the league single handedly with a poor Napoli team and also lifted the World Cup.

Messi plays infront of the best central midfield partnership ever Xavi and Iniesta and as a result is gifted alot of opportunities.

I percieve Maradona as the greatest. What is the concensus?

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Messi and he doesnt use his hands like Maradona did nor use as many drugs.

p.s My shirt was bought from Jersey City :lol:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Fair point. Let's move back to actual football instead of supposed clever jibes at peoples' teams. By the way, for me you support where you come from.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I'd give Messi the nod simply because of his work rate compared to Maradonna. He's all over the place more or less simultaneously. I think I'll use his youtube clips to explain wave-particle duality next semester.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Must we rank these artists? Really, is there a point? Different eras, different levels of protection, both sublimely gifted. What about Pele, or Beckenbauer, or Cruyff?


I dont think I could put Maradona top of any list just because footy is a sport, and I cant rate him as a "sportsman" because of "the hand of god". Winning a free kick due to unexpected local gravitational concentrations is one thing, but punching the ball in in a WC QF is pretty low.

Messi, best player of the current era? No question. Best of all time? Does it matter? Just enjoy it while it lasts.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I have to agree actually. I like players who track back, work hard and not just wait for something to be delivered to them.

Early days of Torres did that; latter days at Liverpool he did not and has continued that trend at Chelsea.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Georgie Best was a superstar.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I completely agree with that. JamesM has already been in Canada too long. Next he'll be asking whether Wayne Gretsky was better than Bobby Orr. :thumbdown:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Again with that last statement ( you have done it previously on another thread ) the world can now abandon message boards and go out into the sunlight.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

So you must be a fan of Berbatov:thumbsup:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Indeed.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I believe people will argue that Wayne Gretzky was better;)

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Not on this ****ing thread they won't.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I recently won around of trivial persuit with Bobby Orr. It was on the winning goal of a Stanley Cup final. They re-run the goal constantly should you ever make it to the Hockey Hall of Fame.
