What about the Rapist?

Doesn't need it.

yeah, since he's been lighting it up at the international level too, oh wait he hasn't


Ronaldo, Van Nistelrooy, and Schevy before Henry. All three of them are more complete then Henry

Sorry how many times have these won the world cup between them. And it's not exactly difficult to score goals if you never leave the 6 yard box. Ever seen nistelrooy score from outside the 18 yard box. Thought not

ronaldo has won the WC, you're kinda forgetting him scoring both of the goals three years ago


okay, Van Nistelrooy might not leave the box to score, but, the same can be said about the legendary german striker Gerd Muller. The fact is, Van Nistelrooy does plenty of scoring for both club and country, something that Henry doesn't do

Nistelrooy is good at what he does but he only does one thing. Nistelrooy is a great player but saying you would rather have nistelrooy then henry is just silly.

Robert Pires is retarded. We were so lucky that goal didn't stand

I can take losing to Fulham at a push but Crystal Palace absolutely not!!! Fcuking Jpoke.

That one goal that Ronnaldo scored, with the two defenders fouling him, and hanging onto his shoulders, was amazing. Ronaldo is the primeir striker of his generation, no doubt.

Anybody watching this 2nd half of Spurs and Arsenal? Could be best game of the year. Anyone know what hit Lehman from the stands? Arsenal just can't finish without Henry.

Pires got a gift from the football gods. 1-1

Listened to the game on the radio, Robinson hands a gift to the opposition for the second game in a row... Looks good for England (sw).

Can't kill Robinson for the Goal. He tried to punch out a tough ball and it went right to Pires who made a quality finish.

Im a big fan of Paul Robinson, Note the (sw) at the end of my previous post.

Who do you support anyways? Im a Liverpool fan 1-0 At the moment 25 yards from Xabi Alonso!!

2-0, spot on now i can go out and enjoy my saturday night... Alonso and Zenden drag us out of a poor week, let me know what you made of the game ill be sure to watch it later when im down the pub!!

I started watching it in the second half. Arsenal were very classy and were quite dominant at the end. It sounds like spurs were right on top in the first half though. They missed Henry, but we missed Davids.

Where are the Man U fans?

I wasted my afternoon trying to get into the forum freeroll (to no avail). Didn't see any of the game.

Lets talk some smack about football!!!

Man U lose 4-1 to boro. They've got a great team now a striker in central midfield and darren fletcher.

Lol, maybe they thought Keane, Scholes, giggs and Beckham would live forever well atleast maybe fergie did.... Can you say slightly over the hill.

Step up martin O'neil to take the old mans place... sure to be the end for fergie.

4-1 jopke.

Very disappointing to see this franchise fade like it has. Like them or not, they are the only club that had any hope of challenging Chelsea. Those hopes are now as useful as their ability to defend.

The only thing that made it palitable was that the kids I coach hammered the team they played this weekend.

:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: , no comment

Fortunately, I bleed Red. I have given it over the years, and I suppose it is my time to get it.

I have been a fan since I started following football closely. Saturday was one of the worst performaces taht I've seen from them. Completely listless, and they didn't look like a team that wanted to win. Though Fergie will never be fired, I am looking forward to the day that Martin O'neil takes over as the gaffer. This transition is just gonna take some time. I think that Alan Smith will work in the midfield, and there is plenty of talent that is young at Old Trafford. Kieran Richardson is a real talent along with Fletcher, ROnaldo, Park, Rooney, O Shea. There is a lot of talent out there too. Chelsea will have their time in the spotlight, and in a few years, the Red Devils will rise again

Nicely put. I have followed them since before they got The King, but just haven't seen the lack of intensity before, or to that extent, and it really pissed me off. I am still going next year and will still cheer them on at whatever fixture I am able to attend.

What I don't understand is why Ferguson rarely starts ronaldo when is probably there best midfielder

ManYoo fans,

Your kids have talent, but no cohesion. There's no captain to grab them by the scruff of the neck and MAKE them play together. You desperately need Michael Ballack.

Alan Smith is overrated, and Fletcher and Richardson need some seasoning.

Build your team around Park, Rooney, Rondaldo, Van "HorseFace", and find a world class holding midfielder.

Agreed on the midfielder, without question. The other thing is in the fullback position. Rio is not that good. Having said that it sure hurts having two starters on the back line hurt.

Ronaldo needs to share a little more, and I think that is part of the reason he doesn't start as much as one would think. Once he can accept giving the ball to a teamate, and that he will get it back it won't be long before he is like giggs was in his prime.

What a beautiful night of European football, well unless your a chelsea fan lol.

INDEED!!!

You'll Never Walk Alone!!

Hope it continues today.

You'll never walk again.

Great effort today by Man U. I have felt for a while that Chelsea was vulnerable to pressure and it showed again today. Arsenal fans, the streak is over, and Morinio eats his words again. Sweet.

and all I have to say is that Roy Keane is a shithead. He lambastes the team, and now he departs. I love him, but you know what, his time was up

agreed, classless.

Guys, he was most probably forced out, for saying what's true. Namely that the new players at the club haven't got the good attitude which made united so successful. I think you should be grateful for the success he brought the club. Lets face it, the man was worth an extra player on the pitch.

The question is which club will ballack go to. Hoping he goes to arsenal becuase we need him but I can't see it happening

I would never discredit what he brought to the club. A lot of what he said about the young players is true, but he has said some things that are making him look bad, and it isn't the first time.

Anybody see Henry's free kick on Wigan? Mercy

I knew that that would be a good game, and it followed through. As sick as Henry's free kick was, I have to say his other goal might be even better, the angle he had on that shot was awful and he still slotted it home.

I love watching Wigan play as they are showing that you don't have to play defensive football to stay up. If they continue playing like this, consolidation won't be a problem at all, and Paul Jewell will have an excellent case for PFA manager of the year


Did anyone see the ManU/Charlton game at all. Charlton played great, but weren't able to overcome the gap. Darren Bent continues to play great and IMO it will only be a matter of time before he gets drafted into the senior side. Ruud's goal from that service from ROoney was just something special too. That was just a great goal

Onto Ballack. He will go to Old TRafford. Fergie has been chasing him for a while now, and I can't wait to see him in a ManU shirt. Granted, he will be cup tied so he won't be able to play in europe for them, but he will be a great addition for the league. THe only other players that I'd rather see then him are Robinho, Ronaldinho, and Van Der Vaart. Ballack's play is also well suited for the Prem, and I don't see any problems with him being able to make the adjustment

Liverpool all the way. Hyypiä!

yeah, okay.

Hehe, I'm just getting ready to leave for Munich to see a miracle, Rapid Wien beating ****ing Bayern München. Chances that this will happen are maybe 100:1 or so, but anythings possible.

Anyone going to World Cup next year? I plan on being in Germany from 6/20 to 6/27.

Looks like Warnock will be the next manager at Pompey. Watch now as Sheffield United plummet from the promotion race.

I thought Portsmouth shat the bed today, Chelsea looked beatable through the game. Pompey let off the pedal when they had the run of play.

The Reds, six on the bounce!!! And Crouchy off the snide...

We really do need a right winger, that Gerrard fellow is bollocks :wink:

Unfortunately, looks like an under-strength squad vs. Chelski tomorrow night...

And Italian kicks the hell out of both.

Red Devil fan, checking in :twisted:

Please see last years Champions League final!!!

Tactics. maybe. Pure excitement and drama....GIVE ME ENGLAND!!

who saw that goal by Jay Bothroyd, that might've been the goal of the year
