Woodsinho Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 BRATFUD! That was a nervy last 5 minutes after Villa brought it back to 4-3 on aggregate but they saw it out in style. One win away from the Europa League! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 "I saw a headline saying Arsenal are flying the flag for Britain,...I kind of wondered where that British involvement actually was when I looked at their team...It's important that top clubs don't lose sight of the fact that it's the English Premier League and English players should be involved...Foreign players have been fantastic. We have learned from them and from foreign coaches. ...But, to some extent, we could lose the soul of British football - the English player."

delboy Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Well done to Bradford, nice to see a lower league side doing so well in a cup, hope they play Swansea depends which Chelski turns up tonight I think!That Peterboro supporting buffoon Adrian Durham was banging away on Talksport how for the good of English football it would be ridiculous to have Bradford playing in the Europa League as they would get knocked out instantly and it would be a waste of a European space. Bet the shoe would be on the other foot if it was Peterboro in the League Cup final the stupid little scum supporting man!Lambert must be fearing for his job now but in reality who could Villa get in who could do any better???

Captain America Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Allez les Toon. If these deals come-off, we'll have the following Frenchies on our books:-HaidaraYanga-MbiwaGouffranSissokoCabayeBen ArfaAmalfitanoMarveauxObertanDebuchyPlus Cisse, Bigirimana, Tiote and Abeid, who call speak French.Has there ever been a Premier League club that's been completely taken over by another nationality like this? I remember Arsenal having a bunch of French lads back in the day, but this is mental.Think Yanga-Mbiwa and Debouchy are going to be great buys for you lot, probably enough to ensure your survival. I've never even seen the other lad play so cant comment on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Best Yorkshire!I hope they win it! A Bradford Swansea final would be great. We don't need another Chelsea final at Wembley. It might as well be their home ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Michu has just signed a new deal with Swansea, good to see. I really hope they can keep building on the progress they've made. Maybe Laudrup will actually stay in one job for more than a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 They need to hold on to Danny Graham IMO. If Michu picks up an injury they'd be pretty fucked (Leroy Lita and Luke Moore fucked). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ca_gere Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Giroud has a lovely touch for ... an averagely-sized man. Seriously though, he's had a few sumptuous assists and almost assists this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 He's a kid. Of course he's being a knob. Kids are knobs. Doesn't excuse giving him a punt.It'd be great if the kid pressed charges.Besides. Who wanted Chelsea going to Wembley, again? Nobody. Not even Chelsea fans. They're fed up of Wembley, and Wembley is fed up of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Owl PhD Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Disappointing to see the reaction of the ballboy. In a few minutes he'll be running around as if nothing's happened. That sort of thing is a scourge of the modern game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Ball boys are definitely being taught by the clubs to favour the home team. You see it a lot every week, but obviously he's taken it too far. Seeing alot of "but the kid deserved it" response, which I don't agree with at all. He doesn't deserve to get a kick. If kids got kicked everytime they were being a dick, there'd be alot of injured kids. Kids are dicks. Hazard is a professional. Hold it together, you're on the telly!I liked how the kid appealed to the referee. Should have had a penalty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Get the Wimbledon ball boys in. What are they doing the rest of the year? The ball would only every be out of play for a micro second with them helping out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 I highly doubt they are in any way 'taught' by the clubs. In fact, that's probably the problem. I'm sure they're just thrown onto the sidelines with very little supervision and boast amongst themselves about how they are gonna timewaste, as if they're not there to actually do a job. I can't even believe I'm saying this: it's verging on parody, but Hazard has tried to get the ball out from under him, he's not trying to harm the kid, he's just trying to get on with the game.I've always hated ballboys. There was one lad at todders who used to always stand and do keepy uppies - as if he was gonna get magically scouted or something - the ball would fizz past him and he'd be onto the second knee of his around-the-world, not a care in said world.
