Football

And the above posts illustrate why violence will never be taken out of football. I'm very saddened to see a fan condoning violence against a manager purely because he has said something that the fan doesn't like. We have a thing in this country called freedom of speech. We have another thing to help us be civilised, and that makes letter bombs, threats and assaults illegal.

I never said I approve of what they do, I'm just leaving them to do whatever they like. Even if I don't approve of it, what can I do to stop it? Unfortunately, he got himself into this, he's gonna have to get out of this.

Got himself into what? This was happening long before the most recent events. The first time around, he was receiving death threats from sectarian groups simply because he was playing for Celtic, nothing more.

He displayed open contempt for a united Britain, he also spat on Rangers scarves, at fans, and sang pro-Irish secretarian songs. Together with this, he also captained Northern Ireland, a country with strong Rangers support, of course that didn't go down well. He is just a loud mouthed anti-Brit, and when you go to captain a country with strong support for his enemy, what did he expect?

Speaking of foreign football let's hope we can beat Arsenal today

 

[Darandio]

what did he expect?

Certainly not bombs, I am pretty sure of that.

They've got a few English players. Wiltshire and Ramsey, for instance, both very talented.

Ramsey is Welsh, not strictly foreign I know, but the pedant in me took over.

Erm, he saw what secretaianism did in his homeland, if he was going to thist it further, you may have thought that similar would come his way.

I'll bet the Welsh wouldn't be happy with me for suggesting such a thing.

No, but don;t worry, I won't be sending you any bombs or death threats!

However as I have sung Irish rebel songs and want an independent Wales Is hould probably expect to receive some.

 

[HST Power]

No, but don;t worry, I won't be sending you any bombs or death threats!

I'll cancel my one way tickets to Australia then!

In any case, Lennons face will be tripping him today, we are the champions.

It's been ours since Super Cally beat them 3-2!

And we did
Fulham won too making next week very interesting indeed. Except for West Ham who are down

 

[HST Power]

And we did

I'm not surprised. Arsenal are hopeless. Wengers days are numbered.

Disappointing but predictable end to the SPL, like it or not the Best team over a season wins the League, sadly it wasn't to be us, Bl**dy Caley Thistle..again!!
Still the Cup Final next Saturday though!
C'Mon The Hoops

Get them all out, disgusted :cry: :cry:

I can't believe that we are going down, when joke teams like Blackpool have a good chance of staying up.

Gutted...

I was willing to give Grant the benefit of the doubt, depending on how he spent in January, and come the end of the window, I was hopeful, especially with performances like the home games against Liverpool and Stoke.
But it looks like he doesn't know how to motivate a team, or make important tactical changes, and it's that, as well as general poor performances from too many players, that have cost us.
I'd be very surprised (but delighted) if Parker and Green stayed. I don't think Parker will go to Spurs, not sure they need him or that he'd want to.Cole *might* stay but to be honest, I don't really care. The players I want to stay are the lads like Collison and Tomkins, who are hungry for it.

Le Arse 1-2 Villa

Come on you Spurs !!!!

 

[Eng274]

Its quite interesting that apart from West Ham, two out of the five bottom teams will be relegated, there'll be a few thousand squeaky bums up and down England next weekend...

Not looking good though. Blackpool are at Old Trafford (the bastion of neutrality) and Wigan are at the Britannia and one of them also needs to get something

 

[Mvann]

But there will be at least six changes to the man united team.

I would expect a weakened man u to beat Blackpool though, especially with their defensive record. Even if Blackpool are winning there is the infinite injury time, One can still hope though

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Well done to Telford and Ebbsfleet who join Alfreton and Braintree in the Conference next season!

They don't need to win though. They just need to lose by less than the noses !!
I can honestly see Blackpool and Wigan getting results against opposition that have nothing to play for.

I agree. It'll be close, but I think Blackpool might just do it.

from a personal point of view i am happy to see Telfors, Ebsfleet and Braintree come up. If i was still in Darlo i might not be so happy!

BTW we won something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FA Trophy winner 2011!

Hopefully not...

Although I'd love to see them beat the sh**e at home on the last day!!

City for third!

You get full backing from me on that one!
