Looks like we're going to be playing £ity in the Europey Cup Final.

Or 'Pool.
 
I think they should turn the "White Elephant" back into a dogtrack and I'll, maybe get my old job back and say hello to the kennel girls again.Then again,those girls will be in their sixties now!!!!!!!
 
By the way,did you see the news of that Indian footballer that killed himself celebrating scoring a goal? His flip didn't come off. I was wondering when this would happen.....
 
I see Poll said the City got an unlucky penalty against them for the second game in a row and were due a lucky one. I assume that he didn't see the game on Saturday then. An outrageous penalty and an offside goal. I think the Gods are looking after them ok.
 
Thing is, when you are on a slide (as we appear to be, at the moment), it seems as though the world and its dog are on your back. Conversely, when you are on the up (as £ity clearly are), everything seems to be a breeze.

Please, let's stop blaming the officials, like it's only us who have ever been on the end of some bad decisions. Our problems don't lie with incompetent refs, they lie with Levy and our board.

And this shows how Graham Poll managed to inspire my username all those years ago.
This is from his article on our game against City:
"Penalty 1: This was the worst decision of them all. Frank Lampard threw himself to the ground at feeling the slightest of touches from Erik Lamela."

Which is followed only a few days later by this:
"In the last two games City have suffered from poor penalty decisions and must be hoping that they’ll benefit from some in the near future."

The guy's a ****ing idiot.
 
Apparently, the Spammers have made sure that we will be unable to use their old ground after they leave. They have confirmed that Upton Park will be "Unfit for football" after they go in 2016.

Now, I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere!......:D

Good news for us. Why would we want to play there other than to show them how to fill it?

Yawn. The agenda again. So it's OK to have two illegitimate goals against us each game as long as Levy goes. I wonder how having a different Chairman will stop these decisions going against us?

Maybe Levy isn't paying the refs as much as the other chairmen?
 
Did anyone watch the full Southampton v Sunderland game? The highlights left something of a bad taste in my mouth, in all honesty.
I'm not knocking the home side, but some of the defensive play would've embarrassed an amateur side.
What odds would you have got on a home win by at least 6 goals, for example?

Have they explained why it's apparently been unfit for football during the whole of Allardyce's reign?
 
UEFA have continued their record of spectacularly brilliant decisions, this time with relation to the CSKA Moscow v Man City game.
The hosts were supposed to play three Champions League games behind closed doors, following a series of incidents, including racist abuse from their crowd.
City fans were unable to attend the game, but around 650 CSKA fans were allowed to watch, for no apparent reason.

UEFA issued this statement:
"Following the match between CSKA Moscow and Manchester City, Uefa has reviewed the officials' reports and found no breach of the conditions related to a match played behind closed doors that make part of the disciplinary decision.
"Only people who were allowed to enter the stadium (clubs delegations, media, security staff, Uefa and guests of sponsorship partners) attended the match with no record of inappropriate behaviour.
"However, Uefa is reviewing the 'behind-closed-doors' policy to see if alternative solutions could be implemented in the future."

Vincent Kompany was rightly furious with the decision:
"You say no fans, all of a sudden you turn up and the team who has no fans is Man City. So who's getting punished? Who's being done for racism, Man City or Moscow?"
"Why the hell do we not have any fans here? What have our fans done wrong? There's no fairness in it."

I agree with him. Ridiculous stuff, but I'm sure that they're just trying to keep the money men at their sponsors happy.
 
Now that George Osbourne is throwing his support behind the economic benefits of an NFL franchise moving to Wembley (this from the man who has borrowed £548bn in the last four years yet talks of the economy getting back on track...) I can't help but notice this is how the events have unfolded:
i.) Spurs told their new stadium can only have a capacity of 55,000
ii.) Spurs told they can have a capacity of 65,000 if they allow an NFL franchise to co-share
iii.) Spurs told they cannot use Wembley as a base when building the new ground
iv.) The FA look into the possibility of an NFL franchise using Wembley
vi.) George Osbourne talks of the economic benefits of an NFL franchise using Wembley

It's like The FA saw our idea, then saw the dollar signs flashing in front of their eyes, and when they did they informed the Tories who suddenly became interested.
 
Where's your "strategy" now Brendan ??

Liverpool 0 Madrid 3 after 40 minutes.

Never ever, has a manager been more out of his depth in the CL, than Brendan Rodgers.

I know a lot don't like Liverpool anyway but it's particularly pleasing as Rodgers' is such a twat. He's so up his own arse it's unbelievable.

That said they haven't been that bad, the opener was sheer brilliance and the second was one of the best headers you'll see but if you let Pepe chest it down and square it 6 yards out then you don't deserve sympathy. Good strikes from Allen and Coutinho almost got them back in it though.

Yeah, even when the opposition are scoring some typically PL type goals. A team which concedes 50 goals in the PL is asking for a pasting in the CL. Good job Bale's not playing. Good job they're not in Bayern Munich's group either.
