The FOOTBALL thread

[Bali Muncher Jim]

Any footy fans out there lets talk football, whos your team.

R U looking forward to the Champions League games this week, whats your prediction on whos gonna go through?

I'm a Spurs fan :D

[Mad Badger]

I reckon Man Utd will cruise past Milan without too many problems, Liverpool will hold out against Madrid, Chelsea may slip up against Juventus and Arsenal may regret the missed opportunities at home to Roma...

Watch all of the above predictions fail miserably!!!

I am an Ipswich fan :o
A predictably mediocre inconsistent season, but at least Norwich are going to go down! :D

HAhaha Tractor boys r going down!! I used to work with a die hard tractor boy who used to be a sheep farmer!!

I got a funny feeling Inter are gonna do Man Utd (think I might put a few quid on this). Liverpool I think will squeeze through (buttock clenching stuff for DEZ) Chelsea hmmm I really dont know, Arsenal will be ok Roma are the weakest of the lot.

[Dez IndO]

haha , yea i think liverpool gets it to the next round .
real madrid needs two goals to beat liverpool , but everything can happen tho

and i guess liverpool will play and win against Manshitster united at the Finals :D


anyway, the norwegian League starts sunday and i cant wait :D
My team Viking has many Injuries at the start at the season , but ill have my fingers crossed.

[Bali Muncher Jim]

Is that Viking Stravanga (excuse the spelling) Does your season have a winter break then or it starts fresh March.

[Mad Badger]

MB's round up, fresh from the Sett:

Well, I only saw the highlights but Liverpool looked fantastic tonight, even though this Real Madrid team are a shadow of former ones. I realised tonight that Steven Gerrard is my favourite player in the game by a long way. His energy, desire and attacking ability are just incredible. I am so proud that he is English. It's just strange how Liverpool do so well in Europe but not in the Premiership. It should be a good game on Saturday against Man Utd.
Chelsea scraped through- still unconvincing, and though my prediction of them going out was wrong, I can't see them winning the Champions League despite the improvement under Hiddink.

[Bali Muncher Jim]

Yeah Liverpool were right on it tonight made Real look pants. I agree with wat u say re Gerrard. Havnt seen any of the chelsea game yet, even though i hate em its still good for english football if they all get through.

[Mad Badger]

Yeah I don't particularly like Chelsea, but I want any English team to do well in Europe (except Norwich. Ha ha haaaaaaa never gonna happen :D)
I am not one of those people who hate Man Utd- I think they are great to watch and admire them. Have you seen Alex Ferguson's nose recently? It looks like it's decomposing.

[Dez IndO]

that right jim :D best team there is , almost ;)


but anyway !
Im proud to be a liverpool suporter after seeing this game against real last night..
2 first goals was kinda lucky but wtf , we had the whole game in our pockets

youll neeeeverr Waaaaaaaalk aloooooooooneeeeeeee

btw..
i hope we beat those fucked up united duudes saturday.. :p


Hows spurs dooing nowdays jim ? :p

[Bali Muncher Jim]

Hahaha, yeah was a good game last night!

Spurs are clinging to life in the Premiership, all I care about this season is not going down, then next season we'll win everything!!!!!!!

Anyone got any links to the Man Utd game tonite I'd love to watch it.

nope sorry , come on over, i got beer and the game is on my telly :D

i dont think spurs will have no problems with staying in the premiership , they have a strong team but they cant play well together yet ..

next season will be good , if harry doesnt buy much more players .

[Bali Muncher Jim]

Lucky bugger, i wish!!

Yeah we are far too good to go down, I do trust Harry but he does like to do his deals. With Defoe out it is a little worrying but as long a Keano does the business!

[Dez IndO]

keane will shot spurs to the top next season , just to show benitez , that he can :p , im sure..

btw, i hope benitez can buy some new players soon , im so tired of those same ol same ol duudes..

we need a striker ! Torres and Villa :D

and mabye Barry and Young from aston villa

[Bali Muncher Jim]

Yeah would be good to see Villa in the premiership, Benitez has gotta buy someone be interesting to c who.

Do you get SKY then in Norway?

Their showing the goals on Sky Sports News, nice header by Vidic, Arsenal ooo thats gonna be a tough one now!

[Dez IndO]

nope , we have many sucky english channels but not that one , ofcourse :(

thanks good for many european channels who are football crazy !
:D

[Dez IndO]

some rumors !

AC Milan are rumored to be preparing a £35 million bid for Manchester United’s Nemanja Vidic and Jonny Evans.

Sunderland striker Rade Prica has joined Rosenborg for an undisclosed fee.
Rosenborgs homeground is 3 hours from me with car :D

Boca Juniors midfielder Juan Riquelme supposedly turned down a move to Newcastle.

Aston Villa are supposedly preparing a £3 million bid for Manchester City backup goalkeeper Joe Hart. The 21-year-old is out of contract this June.


Spanish side Valencia currently have a total debt of around 450 million euros and may be forced to sell some of their top stars, including the likes of David Villa and David Silva.
Manchester City, Chelsea, and Liverpool have all been linked with the two stars at one point.


Leeds United are rumored to be interested in signing Manchester United winger Lee Martin on loan. The 22-year-old has also drawn interest from Swansea and Crystal Palace.

Manchester United are rumored to be interested in 19-year-old Brazilian striker Walter. The Internacional footballer is rated around £5 million.

They say Joe Hart will be the next England keeper.

[Dez IndO]

thats 4 things but who cares..

congrats with spurs man, i didnt se the game , only the goals ,.
thay played well ?

11place in the premier league , and they can easy get to 7. place before the end of the season .. but i dont think they get higher.
its 13 points to get to 6 place , and everton is strong now ..

[Bali Muncher Jim]

Just been reading this (below) I know theres been talk before, I'm not sure if I would prefer it or not?

FOOTBALL’S most powerful clubs are hatching plans for a European Super League which could destroy the Premier League.

Anxious Premier League officials are aware of the proposals and monitoring developments. The Euro revolution would see the creation of three divisions — each with 20 teams.

Our Big Four — Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal — would be in the top division, forced to play 38 European games alone. That would rule out any chance of them competing in the Premier League as well and would therefore spell the end of English football as we know it.

[Dez IndO]

wtf ... what ??

are you shitting me , muncher jim ? :D

[Bali Muncher Jim]

wtf ... what ??

are you shitting me , muncher jim ? :D


I quite like the idea, but it would be sad for the premiership to change as well. But then I supposed there would be no european cup as such such so we'd be losing 2 things.

yea, you have a good point there duude , b i really dont think they should change anything .. i dont like changes much :D

who do you think gets to play in the coca cola championship next season ?
and who do you think gets promoted ?

and who wins the champions league ?

[Bali Muncher Jim]

"We fear change" what films that from?

Mmmm
I'm 50% there on a tasty double bet, I bet that Paul Ince would get sacked and Blackburn get relegated I will £58, so I hope they go down! I think Middlesborough and WBA or Stoke will also go.

I hope Reading come back up, Wolves mmmm I dont think they'll manage it, I would really like to see Cardiff in the Premier, Im half Welsh.

Champions league, I could see Liverpool doing it, Barca are favourites which I dont really get. Also Arsenal could sneek in the back door, no pressure on them - already written off for the season.

What about you, what do you think. Out of interest who would Norwiegens consider to be there best ever / most popular player, would it be Solskjar?

[Bali Muncher Jim]

Just incase anyone missed the C/L draw:

Champions League quarter-final draw:

Villarreal v Arsenal

Manchester United v Porto

Liverpool v Chelsea

Barcelona v Bayern Munich

The first legs will be played on April 7/8 with the second legs on April 14/15.

Semi final draw:

Manchester United/Porto v Villarreal/Arsenal

Barcelona/Bayern Munich v Liverpool/Chelsea

The first legs will be played on April 28/29 with the second legs on May 5/6.

Looks like Man U have got the best draw

[Dez IndO]

fuck me , next round is the round when anything could happend :rolleyes:
but i think liverpool has a good grip on chealskwi , porto could do some seriuos damage on " The Manshitster Fergusons " :D i hope !

Bayern beats Barcelona , couse bayern is aggressive in the CL thisyear, almost little scary..

and yea , arsenal with no pressure could be dangerwalruuuos , ashavin have found his well preformance hidden from under some dirty socks ,.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHO WILL WIN CL THIS YEAR .. :confused:

those who will get relegated is Middlesbrough ( who cant score goals this season ) West Bromwich ( who cant get a cleen sheet ) and sunderland ..
no reason :p


edit: yea , it must be solskjær ! im born in the same place as that man , and have meet him many times .. i dont think theres anyone like that man ,.
agreeable, charming, decent, enjoyable, likeable, lovely, nice, pleasant, sympathetic duude :D and the best sub ever !

[Bali Muncher Jim]

Ouch Liverpool r flying now, crackin result today. Well chuffed with Spurs yesterday one more win and we are def safe hopefully. :D

[Dez IndO]
