SeanMacGabhann Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 after all of that, all I can say is....phewI thought the ref in the Liverpool Man U game was pretty impressive. Less so in the case of Wile for the Arsenal Chelsea gameNeither game was much cop but that wasn't too much of a surprise as these things are inevitably close. I thought both could have been draws without too many complaints from any fans so commiserations to Liverpool/Chelsea fans(all that said John Terry is the most enormous pain in the hole and should have been off the pitch long before that injury) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1210-football-focus/page/52/#findComment-63145 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keef Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Terry is a knob, and I hope he loses the England captaincy.Didn't see any footy yesterday as I was rehearsing... Glad I missed it all really.The games must have been tight, as all MOTD2 could think of to talk about for Liverpool was Torres' defending... He's a bloody striker Alan!!!!They did also say Gerrard was playing too deep, but I can't comment on that not having seen it.Anyway, guess we're still in the race, but have a mountain to climb.

atila the gooner Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I'm happy with the Sundays result, but I thought Ade's goal was perfectly sound, but hey ho. I thought Eboue did the usual headless chicken impression (sort him out Arsene, for gods sake, he is the antithesis of everything we are trying to achieve. Her has a big heart, bit a small brain), and Terry was his usual brainless self. What else can you expect from a product of inbreeding? Pool's performance was strange, almost as if they were scared to play. Kuyt was way under par, as was Torres ( and not because, as Hansen would have us believe, Ferdinand was so good). Babel should have started, but live and learn Rafa. Pool better keep an eye on the toffees as they seem to be making progress without anyone making too much of it. Bring on Spuds for the early kick off next saturday.

atila the gooner Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Bless him, Merson has never possessed the sharpest brain. I've met him at the Arse a few times, lovely chap, but definitely been short changed on the grey matter front.

Jah Lush Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 Tottenham finally got their first away win of the season at the weekend at Portsmouth and blimey a clean sheet too! Now we're up against Man City tonight who haven't lost at home yet in the quarter-final of the League Cup and although we beat them a couple of weeks ago at White Hart Lane tonight could be a little more difficult. Oh! and we're away to the Gooners at the weekend...even more bloody difficult.I watched the not so "Super Sunday" from the bar in the CPT with my Liverpool daft niece whose vocal encouragement of the Reds could probably be heard in the Castle up the road to the bemusement of a few others around us. At least it was more entertaining than the football on offer.

atila the gooner Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Super Sunday my ARSE. It never is because there's too much at stake, and everbody knows it.

atila the gooner Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Good honest English Northern Club 2 - Soft Southern Foreign Fancy Dans 3. (This is how most pundits would love to describe the 2 teams)Mark Hughes as is his way decided to focus on the fact that, according to him, we spend loads of money on our youth players. Surprisingly he chose to ignore that the fact that he had been beaten by our second string of 10 men. Gracious as always, I suppose I shouldn't expect anything else from someone who played for Fergusmoan for so long, some of his less endearing habits have clearly rubbed off.

Annasfield Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Something tells me that if Liverpool win tonight, those balls might be heated to ensure that the semi finals are another "Grand Slam" night. Good old Mr Murdoch....... Local derby anyone?Everton v Liverpool and Arsenal v Tottenham. Or maybe it will be just one Northern team with three Southern.

atila the gooner Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 I'm not fussed who we play, but I think Le Boss may put out more of the 1st eleven the further we progress.
