RandallFlagg Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) I read that's Wenger's first win in 14 over Mourinho, insane stuff.Di Maria is pissing off, so his house got broken into and Ashley Young put him on the bench so his reaction after a tepid season is to run off to the Paris sunshine? At least Falcao wanted to stick around and keep trying to find his old self, I'm a lot more disappointed in our most recent number 7, Owen was more worthy than him and I liked Owen and thought he should've played more but expected someone who used to be a Galactico to give it more of a go. (yeah I know MO did but different circumstances). Then again he all but admitted he wanted PSG before he came here anyway.

DieselDaisy Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 John Greig. Captained the European Cup Winners' Cup Champions in 1972, Rangers and Scotland captain and subsequent Rangers manager.Ally McCoist has lost a lot of goodwill from Rangers fans recently because of his legacy as manager. He was selected without interview by his predecessor, largely because of who he was as a player rather than his own management expertise, didn't use the demotion to the 3rd division to blood the youth and create a solid team but instead bought in a lot of old Premier League players with no sell-on value and extremely high wages. Then there was the turgid football, despite a budget way in excess of any of his competitors, he couldn't get Rangers back into the top flight in 3 consecutive seasons, being soundly thrashed in terms of points by both Hearts and Hibernian (not to mention regularly beaten by the mighty Alloa Athletic, Raith Rovers and Queen of the South). He had the highest managerial salary in Scottish Football (£750,000 per year). A salary he has continued to take until the end of his contract despite having been out of the role for over 6 months. I think it's galling for a lot of fans who want to be able to celebrate his legacy as the club's greatest goal-scorer that his relationship with the institution has gone so downhill.Sounds familiar.What I meant was, my main footballing watching era was during the era of McCoist (and Gazza, Ian Rush).

DieselDaisy Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Or Dixie Dean or Nobby Stiles Glorious. Those are footballers' names. Bobby also - Bobby Moore, Bobby Charlton. Now we have Vierra which sounds like a sexually transmitted disease. Even the English guys have weird names now: Oxlade-Chamberlain, Micah Richards?

Len Cnut Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Oi, i'll not have a word against young Chambo, bless him, he might look like a ninja turtle with a shit haircut but the boys a diamond! Jack Wilshere, does that meet your approval? James Milner? Jack Rodwell makes me think of drains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 In the good old days it would have been ''Jackie Wilshere'', ''Jimmy Milner'' and ''Jackie Rodwell''.What is that guy, English player for Newcastle, and the pundits used to pronounce his name differently? Shearer used to pronounce it one way and he was his former team mate. Have you ever heard Shearer pronounce Sissoko, with the longated geordie 'os'. I used to laugh at that on MOTD.

DieselDaisy Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 When they are 2-0 down and score a goal, why do footballers do that odd thing when they sprint into the opposition net, retrieve the ball by picking it up, and run to the centre to place it down. It is annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len Cnut Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Not really, its 100% functional, the clocks ticking and the opposition are going to try and waste time as much as possible. Plus its a momentum thing, when you score everyone gets the bit between their teeth and get fierce, its the oppositions job to kill that off so you try to avoid that.

Chris1989 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 You want to capitalise on the teams moment of despair.Goals lead to goals.Ironically it's an accepted fact that you're at your weakest after you've just scored though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I know in hockey, 2-0 is the most dangerous lead to have. Because if the other team gets their act together enough to get 1 back, they can get another, or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what better way to start the season than a game between the two shitest teams in the world ever, United and Tottenham, here's hoping for a nil nil draw.
