Soda Jerk Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Holland are garbage right now though. That's a good tie. The senior players are too old and the young players are nowhere near the finished article. No real middle ground. Scotland would murder them. Maybe.

Lemonade Posted September 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Holland are garbage right now though. That's a good tie. The senior players are too old and the young players are nowhere near the finished article. No real middle ground. Scotland would murder them. Maybe.We had Holland in the play-offs for Euro 2004, I went down to Hampden for the first leg where we hammered them 1-0 with a James McFadden goal. I can't quite remember what happened in the second leg in Amsterdam so let's just say we beat them there too then won Euro 2004. Or else we lost 6-0. I'm not sure which one it was.

Soda Jerk Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 https://streamable.com/2f0w Take a goddamn seat you horrible, horrible football club. The Pitt was amazing today. Blackett lol. He just watches it all happen. Does nothing. Their centre back pairing is rotten compared to last season. Van Dijk and Denayer would probably be a decent partnership in the Premier League. Now they have what is probably a League 1 pairing at best. Boyata is such a nothing player who is not really good at anything specific. Was responsible for lots of howlers at City. Even when everyone was injured and City had to put Javi Garcia at the back, he wasn't given the nod as a recognised centre back. Went on loan to Bolton and couldn't get a game. Returned to City and struggled to even get picked for the reserves. He was probably only kept to tick the home-grown quota for the Premier League and Champions League. Blackett is all fart and no shit. Ticks all the physical boxes, but has shown no traits of being a competent footballer. He was initially a winger for United's U21s because of nothing but pace. I don't understand how someone has now decided he is now a centre back, when he can't defend. Horrendous in the air and completely one footed. Also has several howlers up his sleeve. If teams get at Celtic, the defence will just fold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murrr Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 We're pretty shit at the moment. Shteve is slowly trying to change things but he needs to find something that works soon. Mind you, he is trying to undo 3/4 years of rank mismanagement. That'll take some doing. Central midfield and left back are so bad for us at the moment. Surprised we haven't strengthened those positions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 7 out of 7. Incredible. Generally I would hope to see us beat win more comfortably against Hamilton at home but last night was all about getting the points to take full advantage of Saturday's win. Sunday should be a tough game which could easily see us drop our first points. However, with Hearts still recovering from losing their winning start and the home crowd expecting them to come out and attack I'm optimistic. The main thing that worries me at the moment is that if we are to mount a serious title challenge there is a long way to go with this level of pressure and expectancy on the team. Also the fact we haven't scored more than two in a game is a little annoying but I hope that means we are due a huge win soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murrr Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Yeah, I'd describe last night as "fine." It was a dung game, but we won so... fuck it. Our squad depth is nuts at the moment. Plenty of options all across the board, especially in defence. That McLaughlan looked a decent player last night and while I'm a big Shay Logan fanboy, competition is always good. I don't know how long this can realistically go on for but we'd be selling ourselves short to aim for second this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Poor Luke Shaw looked a sare een It was a bad 'un. Huge blow for all concerned. United's best player this season by a distance. A few individuals have starred in one or two games, but Shaw has been top notch in every game so far. This was going to be his year. 6 months out minimum, but it's realistic that he will miss the entire season, and the Euros. He just can't catch a break. Should have been a penalty and a red though. Far too much force, lifts himself off the ground, ends up going through with both feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain America Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 How did Costa not get sent off??? Just one of his many moments. I think Mike Dean is the worst referee in the history of the Premier League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Maybe better for the ridiculous news thread but) the fact that this was picked up by the UK site (dubiously referred to as a "foreign newspaper") is also news, apparently: http://thethao.thanhnien.com.vn/bong-da-viet-nam/an-phat-que-ngoc-hai-len-bao-nuoc-ngoai-53548.html (Daily Mail is also mentioned as covering another guy getting a 28-game ban for a leg breaker but can't find that.)

Soda Jerk Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Costa could have seen red for about 4 individual offences today. If the retrospective ban system actually worked, Costa would only play about 5 games a season. He's the absolute best at what he does though, the disgusting sly cunt. He's well overdue to be on the receiving end of a hellbastard of a challenge. Keane vs Haaland-like. I'd like to see some ogre like Charlie Adam just bulldoze through him. Studs up, elbows out, fists swinging, everything that could possibly connect, connecting. Gabriel's kick was shite. If you're going to get a redder for lashing out at Costa, at least put him on his arse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 A team should just 'sacrifice' a player. Bring in a bruiser from the youth team, get him to go studs up on Costa, get banned for the season but nip it in the bud.Seriously though, his cunt routine is so effective. He wins the mental battles every time. Fantastic asset even when he's not scoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain America Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Gabriel's red card is rescinded. I'm not sure why, I mean he did kick him so it's a red... FA covering themselves in glory. However if they are saying it's wrongful dismissal and Costa has now been charged, surely Mike Dean gets demoted for a week or two. According to the FA post game he basically got it all wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
