The Football.....

[ThinAir]

Looking at the end of the season, Norwich's last 4 games are Liverpool, Man. Utd, Chelsea & Arsenal !

Hope we've got enough points in the bag by that point ???

Ok so looking at the end of the season, and given last seasons performances, who do we think is likely to end up in The Championship next season? I'm going with Stoke, Palace and Cardiff.

 

[Spartak]

Hull, Palace & Swansea

I made an effort to see as many footie grounds as possible riding through Spain last summer, Salamanca's was one of my favourites, a quintessentially
Spanish ground. UD Salamanca were liquidated on Wednesday, they've gone, finished, kaput. They were in La Liga as recently as 1999 and have spent 13 or the last 16 years in Segunda. It was well supported provincial club, like Bradford City, Coventry, Bristol City or Huddersfield, 90 years of history, gone, just like that.

Must say though, I think that Wenger needs to win something this year, or he could be going down the road at the end if the year

Yes he will, to PSG!

I've been watching the Confederations cup and Neymar is beginning to get right on my tits. He's ruining the Brazil games for me with his incessant cheating, the dive where he fouled himself v Italy was bad enough, but to score from the subsequent free kick was galling. Last nights dive (amongst many other dives) against Uruguay was unbelievable, why isn't any ref strong enough to book him, or better, just smack him? I hope Spain win tonight and go on to teach the diving git a lesson in the final, hopefully Busquets can give him a real reason to scream.

What were they thinking of when they came up with this kit?

 

[dellzeqq]

Chelsea have offered Mata or Luiz plus ten million for Rooney! Has The Special One been on some kind of Special Breakfast????? Mata was their best player last year.

[dellzeqq]

they've turned it down, reckoning that selling him overseas is a better bet. If the story is true Mourinho has dropped a real clanger.

It's all bollox. shoot stirring by Manure. Flexing their wings now that both Gill and the drunkard have departed.
If anyone really believes that Chelsea would want to offer 2 of their best players for peanuts are insane. And does anyone really believe that Manure would reject that offer? They would have ripped Chelsea hands off.

 

[accountantpete]

Has anyone seen Rooney's first touch?

It went missing about 2 years ago.

Reward to finder.

Just released by Chelsea

Chelsea statement: 'Chelsea Football Club can confirm that yesterday it made a written offer to Manchester United for the transfer of Wayne Rooney. Although the terms of the offer are confidential, for avoidance of doubt and contrary to what is currently being briefed to the press in Sydney, the proposed purchase price does not include the transfer or loan of any players from Chelsea to Manchester United.'

Rooney's been a good, rather than great player for quite a while now. He seems to be the last one to realise this.
