Looool Arsenal. Really hope they lose.

[rong]

[Pascal]

Messi just broke the record for most goals in a calendar year, absolute legend

Bradford >>>>>> Arsenal

[WillburForce]

Oh nice. Well done Bradford.

[bigred]

This better be the best Arsenal transfer window of all time or I want everyone fired. Why we keep playing 4-2-3-1 when it's clearly not working is beyond me...

[rong]

Bigred, in the current climate and with Arsenal's transfer policy, who are they realistically gonna get?

[Pascal]

Anyone but Giroud

Oh wait, too late

[WillburForce]

Terry Henry would be a good signing.........

[bigred]

Bigred, in the current climate and with Arsenal's transfer policy, who are they realistically gonna get?

THIS MAN

[WillburForce]

Him and Thrierry Henry. You would have the oldest team going.....

[rong]

Uefa Champions League last 16 draw:
Galatasaray v Schalke
Celtic v Juventus
Arsenal v Bayern Munich
Shakhtar Donetsk v Borussia Dortmund
AC Milan v Barcelona
Real Madrid v Manchester United
Valencia v Paris St Germain
Porto v Malaga




Not looking good for English teams. Looking forward to Utd v Madrid, quite fancy our chances too.

[rong]

He's a goddam machine!

[Pascal]

Go on Swansea!

Michu's 16th of the season!

[rong]

Demba Ba is gonna fuck you in the last 10 mins.

[Pascal]

STILL WAITING


HEYOOOOOOOO

[PokerKing]

Michu is without a doubt the best buy of the season. What a find

[Pascal]

Agreed! Just hope we can hold onto him for a couple of seasons at least. If we can and we keep building the team with young talent we've got a chance to cement a place in the top 10 easily.

I put us as favourites for the league trophy now too IMO. Pity it's the Capital One Cup so you only get a massive £100k for winning, but winning a trophy would be incred AND it would also mean we've won it more times than anyone else (currently tied with a bunch of teams on 2)

[PokerKing]

I follow Swansea closely these days, taking all in I can find on the TV. Mainly because of ML. He's way of thinking football is my cup of tea, and what he has done so far has been brilliant. Hope he can take Swansea a long way

Does the winning of the Capitol One cup qualify for Europe? Probably not.

BTW, I'm a Hornet myself. I know, a bit boring compared to you, and your Premier League

[Keith]

Birmingham got into europa league for winning it by stuffing Arsenal (guessed Bigred may have forgotten that by now )

[Pascal]

Oh shit, somehow I read about prize money but missed the bit about Europe. Come on lads, Europe would be incred

Winners qualify for Europa League, if they are already in then highest-placed team in PL not in Europe qualify.

[Pascal]

GG Balotelli, great character but never saw much actual talent on the field. Lazy bastard.

Galatasary looking sick strong, two awesome signings for them (Sneijder and Drogba). Could be a good Champions League for them.

And lolllllll Liverpool

[rong]

I'm wondering if they have time to get a superstar replacement?

[OngBonga]

If I start feeling sad about the sorry state my club is in, and the fact we're fighting to avoid a ten point penalty and administration, then I just need look at the PL table and see villa in the relegation zone. It's not all bad.

[Pascal]

For some reason I remember going to a match for my cousins 10th birthday where Paolo Di Canio dived to get a penalty and everyone in the crowd sang "the referee's a wanker", including my cousins and his friends

Did a quick Google cos I thought it might be a Blues match but it must have been Leicester Charlton lol

http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Footba.....-a0110465169

[Pascal]

Some of the names are legendary tho. Paul Dickov, Di Canio, Muzzy Izzet, Marcus Bent, Jason Euell...

lol at it being a Premiership match too, although Leicester have a decent chance to go up this year. I'd hope so too given the amount of money they've pumped into their club. Cardiff have to get automatic promotion surely, lol Swansea Cardiff in the Premiership next year would be fucked up

[rong]

2 minutes! 2 fucking minutes!

[Pascal]

Arsenal are going to be getting back into this soon

[rong]

I'm so excited for real v utd tonight. Off to pub to watch it. Gonna be goals I think. For utd, Rooney, van persie, welbeck and kagawa start. That's a real attacking statement. Obv Ronald will start for real, so as I said, I see goals.

[STILL_mkd]

What do you think about Crystal Palace vs Bristol City? My opinion is 2/1 HT/FT

[Pascal]

Haha just posted about this in other thread. I think Crystal Palace will win, not sure about HT/FT.

Cardiff look really good value at 19/20 v Brighton, they've been incredible at home this season. Unless they're resting players or something?

[rong]

Stick a bet on arsenal to get back into it. 2-2 at full time.

[Pascal]

Definitely avoided that rong! Accy was 3/5, Crystal Palace, Sheff Wed double chance and Bayern winners but Leicester and Cardiff lost

[Pascal]

Coventry look good value today at 13/8 to win against Crewe, not sure though. Looking forward to AC Milan v Barca!

[Pascal]

Coral did a free to enter competition where if you guessed 8 correct scores, you won £1million

One guy got 6/8 and needed 2-0 Barca and 1-1 Gala tonight. Ended up with 7 scores correct and one the wrong way wrong, ouch

Coral are taking him to Camp Nou for the 2nd leg tho haha

[PokerKing]

Congrats Swansea. Well deserved

I guess we have a happy moderator

[WillburForce]

FUCK YOU SPURS

[Pascal]

hahaha

Le Fondre gets to start a game under the new boss, lots of faith shown in him

ball drops to him 1 on 1 8 yards out

can't miss

does miss

[Pascal]

That's gotta be a penalty, what are you doing ref

edit: actually, that's really close. stops the ball but doesn't get a good touch on it and takes all the player out

[Pascal]

This match is like two Championship teams, wtf is going on

[Cobra_1878]

This match is like two Championship teams, wtf is going on

This match IS two C'Ship teams

[Pascal]

2-0 Southampton, goal for Reading please!

[Pascal]

GG Reading, they're going down

[Pascal]

How have Liverpool not scored...

[rong]

2 down, last space is pretty open though.

[Pascal]

What a freekick by Wigan at the end, hoping Villa go down tbh but it's worrying seeing Stoke (who I've got a soft spot for) that close!

[rong]

I'm disappointed with QPR, for some unknown reason I have a soft spot for them, almost impossible now unless they win every game which is never gonna happen.

[WillburForce]

Balls to QPR. They're my local club...but...all that money, trying to buy their way to glory. I say be careful what you wish for. Oh and I'm not a big fan of 'Arry.

[Pascal]

I bet Paulo Di Canio did na-zi that coming

[WillburForce]

I bet Paulo Di Canio did na-zi that coming

[Pascal]

wow wow bayern are sickkkkkkk

[rong]

yup. No Messi though. I'd be pissed about that if I was Bayern, when you thrash Barca, you want Messi on the field.
