Football 2011/12 Football Season

[Jos the Boss]

St James' Park is in Exeter!
And Odense vs Silkeborg finished 1-1, very scrappy game!

 

[mjo]

Oooh, Newcastle are 1-0 up against Chelsea - if it stays like that, Chelsea won't qualify for the champions league next year.

 

[Jos the Boss]

WOOOOOOOW YOU BEAUTY! WHAT A HIT SON WHAT A HIT! SUPERB FOR PAPISS DEMBA CISSE! TAKE A BOW SON TAKE A BOW!

 

[Jos the Boss]

While we're on the topic of sensational strikes, what are your top 3 goals of the season?

 

[mjo]

Here's the goal:

[Jos the Boss]

Real Madrid are the La Liga champions, for the 32nd time!

 

[mjo]

makes a change from the cheating, referee-hounding, smug Barcelona.

 

[Johnny Carwash]

Now that Real Madrid have won the La Liga title, Jose Mourinho is only the third manager to win league in four different countries.

 

[teabagyokel]

Nice to see the cheating, referee-hounding, smug Barcelona replaced as champions by the cheating, referee-hounding, smug Real Madrid.

 

[Cookinflatsix]

I think Madrid also bring play acting, spoiling and diving to the aforementioned attributes

I.e a typical Mourinho setup

 

[teabagyokel]

Because Barcelona are totally averse to play acting, spoiling and diving...

 

[Cookinflatsix]

It's all relative, Messi vs Ronaldo for example

Cristiano could be the next Tom Cruise whereas I never saw Lionel even once try for amateur night prize

 

[Jos the Boss]

Everyone dives sometimes, even those who think they're fair mostly, i.e. me when playing for school i ran past the defender and he made the slightest contact ever on the side of my foot and I decided the options were against me scoring and just went down! I was given the penalty which then was took away from me ridiculously, which i argued i had 2 team mates in the middle which i would have passed it to and they would have scored and the fact contact was made in the area! Anyway, diving isn't ever going to removed from the game completly, steps should be taken like banning them from games or something instead of letting them walk away free

 

[Slyboogy]

Yet somehow that makes it ok?

 

[Jos the Boss]

Oh no, it's never ok! We were just looking for a lifeline from being 3-0/3-1 down at the time of the "incident" I probably shouldn't have done it but commited to the team eh!

What a fantastic idea, Chelsea want to buy Battersea Power Station and turn it into a 60,000 seater stadium.

[teabagyokel]

It's an important step to sustainability for Chelsea, and they can't redevelop the Bridge.

Liverpool have a similar problem, Man U have succeded because of the fact they could develop at Old Trafford.

 

[FB]

But what a great, creative use of a fantastic landmark.

 

[teabagyokel]

It would be a unique stadium.

If Mourinho wins the Champions League with Real Madrid next season, then he'll be up there with Alex Ferguson as one of the very best ever. Having won it in Portugal and Italy, if he wins it next year then i think he'll become the first ever manager to win it in 3 different countries. All he needs to do is come back to England and win it after that.

Also i'm hoping Blackpool will win promotion back to the Premier League as i want Hollaway back on MOTD.
