Weekend Football (9-10.2.2013)

[RedStar]

2 when Chelsea had Maureen.

Arsenal won it the season beforehand, so there was a 3 year period when they didnt win, which is pretty fucking phenomenal

 

[keniget]

Masterclass from Iniesta today.

 

[DHSC]

4-0 Barca.

 

[RedZeppelin III]

christ , i have spent the last half hr torturing myself by watching villa-west ham . atrocious .

to think people have praised villa this year , just shows the obsession with the 'building a proper club, investing in youth" bollocks .

 

[RedZeppelin III]

i should point out west ham have probably been worse .

 

[DHSC]

I thought I was the only sad fool watching this match.

 

[FoxForceFive]

No, I've been watching it too. It's fucking horrific.

 

[DHSC]

Here's to the second half.

Hopefully it will be a nine goal thriller.

Yah - serves Fergie right for investing in youth in the early 90s and always giving his talented kids, be it from the reserves or purchases, a proper chance to shine. Idiots the lot of them.

 

[Fabio]

Incidentally as no one updated it, barca finished 6-1

 

[livvy145]

Six different scorers for Barca too

 

[LeTallecWiz]

... oh and everyone is spot on ... the Villa-WHU game is atrocious. Big Andy almost scored a few seconds ago though.

 

[livvy145]

This Villa game is utter turd

 

[DHSC]

Has livened up a teensy bit.

 

[livvy145]

Pen to Villa

 

[DHSC]

PENALTY!

 

[DHSC]

Cool penalty.

8 more goals to go!

 

[livvy145]

Nice goal from NZogbia

2-0

 

[DHSC]

2-0!

The game is on.

 

[Shadey]

2-0 nzogbiaaa

 

[LeTallecWiz]

I am of course not against investing in youth or promoting young players to the first team , i realise how important it is . What i do think is bollocks is this current trend that any club who gives youth a chance deserves massive praise . Anybody can pack a team full of young players , if they're no good it means fuck all .

 

[FoxForceFive]

Too late, watching the six nations now.

Much more interesting.

 

[Modo]

Playing for crap managers

 

[DHSC]

What has happened to Bent and Given at Villa? Surprised that they are not in the first 11 given their position.

'Current trend' ... Who's doing it? Villa? We've given youngsters a chance in various circumstances, some forced, some not. But it's been blended in the right way imo. That's how it was done in the 80s too when we dominated - youngsters (18-23) came in and played - and in the 90s, when we just threw in these world class 18 year olds (that hopefully, we're developing again!)

 

[Hansern]

Carroll has been horrendously poor. God knows how we are going to get a fee for him.

 

[Shadey]

2-1 oggy oggy

 

[DHSC]

Thriller.

 

[livvy145]

Joke Hole with the assist
