Football (real)

[DAZMCFC]

Dundee United 0 Rangers 3


Lafferty, Mendes, Boyd.


Championi's, championi's ole ole ole.


Man City 1 Bolton Wanderers 0

Caicedo.


played well, end of the season game. plenty of chances. hit the post a couple of times and Jussi Jaskalainen(spelling) made some great saves. we were in the 3rd teir, up in the gods. my missus was a bit dubious at first.

[pmchugh]

Next season I guess.

Hearts fans were shocking today, they celebrated when rangers scored, were singing rangers songs as well as "Stand up for the champions".

Support your own f*cking team, they just proved they are basically wannabe Rangers fans from Poshborough. Would you hear Rangers fans singing stand up for the champs if Hearts won the league? No chance.

[sam_levi_11]

Come on Millwall!

And to prove that I'm not a German xenophobe congratulations to Wolfsburg for winning the Bundesliga for the first time ever.

Yep well done wolfsburg, who had the highest scoring front partnership in Bundesliga history. Similarly well done to AZ Alkmaar on their second Eredivisie title, as well as Olympiakos(greece), Barcelona, Internazionale, and it LOOKS like Bordaux(sp) will break lyons ridiculous run of roughly a century and half of straight titles.

[DAZMCFC]

i'd like to say well done Burnley, 1st time in the top league in 33 years.


very dodgy place to goto Burnley. a few fans from the big clubs will get a nasty shock.

[DAZMCFC]

Barcelona 2 Manure 0

Eto'o, Messi.

[DAZMCFC]

Scottish FA Cup Final

Rangers 1 Falkirk 0

Novo.

started off a bit slow, got better as the game went on. a game of few clear cut chances. Flakirk hit the bar, the post and a goal dissallowed for offside.

Rangers created some decent chances in the 2nd half, but were mainly wasted by Kyle Lafferty(dickhead). Novo scored after 26 seconds of coming off the bench at HT. a throwing to him, he let it bounce once and let rip. fooking belter.



FA Cup Final

Chelsea 2 Everton 1

didn't watch this as i was watching the 'Gers. seen the goals. Saha's the fastest goal in the finals history, 25 seconds.

[pmchugh]

Man I don't know what to do for the summer. No footy sucks. They should have a home nations championship every two years, in between world cups and euro champsionships.

Going to try and get a summer job but there are none gonig atm.

[DAZMCFC]

"sellick" manager up for grabs. not a summer job, but at least they won't lose any.

greatest bet ever, why arent you all betting on it now?!?

[Pedronicus]

Man I don't know what to do for the summer. No footy sucks. They should have a home nations championship every two years, in between world cups and euro championships.

Based on the fact that the FA are having the semis at Wembley now for the FA cup to get maximum cash revenue to pay for the stadium, I would imagine they are interested in this idea, more than ever.

They should be able to build in the cost of a replacement goal if the sweaties pile on the pitch and break 'em again....

Hey we are nice to everyone else, it's just you lot

The actual reason England don't do it is because they have nothing to gain in their eyes. Everyone thinks they are better than us and the other home nations so when they lose they will be mightily embarrassed as they are expected to win every single game ever. If you managed to win by some miracle then you wouldn't consider it an achievement.

we would win the tourney as we are by far the best team, however, i think the fact is, if somehow we lost, it would be a disaster.

Last results against home nations:
Northern Ireland 1-0 England
England 0-1 Scotland
Wales 0-1 England
Northern Ireland 0-0 Scotland
Wales 4-0 Scotland (Don't ask)
Northern Ireland 0-0 Wales

That would make:
Northern Ireland 5
Wales 4
Scotland 4
England 3

Some of them weren't competitve but all of England's were.

Just cause you have the best players doesn't mean you will always win.

You are forgetting the steve mclaren factor, since, fabio capello has changed england into a force again.

[pmchugh]

He has made you a lot better but over the course of history:

Total wins
54 England (including 20 shared)
41 Scotland (including 17 shared)
12 Wales (including 5 shared)
8 Ireland/Northern Ireland (including 5 shared)

Showing we are not far behind and that you lose it more ofen than not. If a similar trend was to continue if it started up again england would lose its reputation and that is why it wont happen.

I am not denying that you are a better team than us, but I am saying that your FA doesn't have the guts to try and show it. The fact is it would generate money, give the national teams more competitve games to prepare for world cups etc. and is sure to inject some national pride into the players/fans.

Gareth Barry for 12 million.


it's funny he was moaning about wanting to play Champs League footy and now he has moved to City who are not even in Europe. must be for the money then.


don't get me wrong, he's not a bad player, but it seams he is a money grabbing bastard and we can't give him Champs league for at least another 3 years yet(if that).

England fans, where are you. 2 games and 10 goals for and none against and you don't post.

Wheres the fun in getting excited about games you were never going to lose. Sometimes i hate the seeding system....

Then i remember it keeps england getting into competitions (bar euro 08), and scotland out of them.

[pmchugh]

We may qualify yet, Norway screwed up so it's between us and Macedonia for second. We should get it but then of course we have to be in the top 8 second places and then win the play off game. And I bet we will get France or Portugal or someone similar.

[sam_levi_11]

you could get Hungary/portugal/sweden from group A - likely winners Denmark
Greece/Switzerland/lativa group B - likely winners Greece/Switzerland
Northern Ireland/Poland/Czech rep. from group C (czech are very weak atm, they "sacked" 8 players from national team after losing 4-0 to rivals slovakia) - likely winners Slovakia
Germany/Russia/Finland group D - likely winners Germany/Russia
Bosnia/Herzegovinia/Turkey in group E - likely winners Spain
Croatia/ukraine/Belarus from englands group - likely winners England
France/Lithuania in group G - Likely winners Serbia
Italy/ROI from group H - likely winners Italy

im thinking some teams are deff through already: bold = already through
Brazil
Chile
Paraguay
Argentina

Australia
Japan
South Korea

Denmark
Slovakia
Germany
Spain
England
Serbia

New Zeland shouldn't be bold they have to play a play off to get in. I think it's against an Asian team.
