atila the gooner Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Well played Pool, not out of the woods yet though. Well pleased Blackburn got a battering, can't stand Sparky!!!

Keef Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Yeah I'm pleased they lost because they were too close to us! Oh, and they are harbouring Robbie Savage, which is unforgivable. Other than that I don't mind them though. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1210-football-focus/page/47/#findComment-59058 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keef Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Not sure. He was at Man U as a boy, in the youth team with Beckham, Giggs, Butt and the Nevilles, but he wasn't good enough basically. He played for Leicester if memory serves, then Birminham.

atila the gooner Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I can't stand Blackburn because of an experience my son and I had when we played them in the FA cup semi final in Cardiff a couple of years back. THey kicked all of our players all over the pitch, Todd gave Van Persie a fore arm smash to the face and got away with it, but we won 3 - 0!! To make matters worse, my son and I were walking around Cardiff city centre after the game and walked past a pub with around 50 to 60 Blackburn fans sitting outside who, very bravely I thought, starting to hurl abuse at my son and I. I told my son to keep walking. He was 14 at the time but is big, as in tall, for his age. He turned on his heels and walked back to what seemed to be the leader of the abuse hurlers and began to defend both my and his honour. No fists were thrown but the guy was clearly shaken by my sons bravery/foolhardiness. I rushed after my son and confronted the braveheart that was standing nose to nose with my son, and advised him that I thought he was a hero for standing up to so mighty and adversary (well, you can make your own minds up about what was actually said). I told the guy to grow up and get back to which ever cave he crawled out of, which didn't go down to well and he offered all sorts of threats. We saw this guy again at a service station on the motorway home when our coach pulled in for refresments. He was strangley quiet when confronted by 40 gooners without the backing of his troop of merry men. Nothing happened but I did allow myself a wry smile as he sheepishly scuttled off to his car.

He's captain of the Under-21s but I think he has suffered from not having an experienced player like Ledley King alongside him. He has an awful lot to learn so hopefully he'll get better but at the moment he's worse than Titus Bramble.

If they lose they will definitely go out. Complications arise should Liverpool and Marseille draw. Marseille beat Liverpool at Anfield earlier in the campaign, meaning they would edge the Reds out on the basis of that result, assuming Porto beat or draw with Besiktas in the group's other match. But if Liverpool and Marseille draw and Besiktas pull off a shock by beating Porto, the Reds would go through. In this scenario, Liverpool, Marseille and Porto would all be on eight points. Liverpool would go through with the best goal difference in the head-to-head matches between the three teams."Apparently.

Jah Lush Posted November 30, 2007 Author Share Posted November 30, 2007 At half-time at White Hart Lane last night I thought Spurs were heading for an early exit from the UEFA Cup. We were very slow out of the traps and soon two-nil down. Second half was a different kettle of fish though. Jaunde Ramos made two substitutions at half-time and 20 minutes later we were 3-2 up. Very impressive. Six games without defeat now since he took over and things are looking up. But we need to sort out our defence as we have missed Ledley King big time this season.
