I love Ingerlund's boom bust cycle. It's always the same. From world beaters to San Marino in a month. The toxic media ripping the team apart, right after they've built 'em up. The hype is as unreal as the inevitable fallout. How can't this be entertaining?chronicfc said:Ah yes, I have given up supporting England and have decided to give my support to a more worthy team... like San Marino, which are doing as poor as always.

Ah, yes. City. Apparently Manchester is blue. Explains why City supportes couldn't find a pub that was showing their last CL match instead of the Yernited one.SckizoBoy said:o_0' Are there really no Manchester United fans in the Trafford area?!
Just kidding, but damn, I hate City... they are the new Chelsea... that much coveted label of the Premier League...(!)

Oh, go right ahead. =DRabish Bini said:Money money money, must be funny...
Sorry, couldn't resist.
Not that I'm not thrilled at our fantastic start, but I really don't understand how we're unbeaten as we only have one striker that's even half decent. Ameobi's never been good and, for all the goals he's scored, I'm pretty sure Leon Best is the worst striker I've ever seen. Any team that has Ba as their primary source of goals is looking to have a shaky season at best and yet, there we are with the big guns.chronicfc said:The "mighty" Toon Army, Newcastle United, are doing better than in those wonderful dreams of glory I have, unbeaten 7 game start, 4th in the league, it'll never last, but its fun while it lasts. In more local news, Blyth Spartans are doing less amazingly, by quite a bit, hovering just above relegation zone after 12 games. In even more local news my team, the mouthful that is "Blyth Rangers Deportivo Under 16's" are doing even worse, losing all our games so far, and we are 4 games in, playing another match in a few hours, hopefully we can stop this dire start.
And judging from the other QF performances, if they beat the Frogs, they're in with a pretty good shout in the final...ToastiestZombie said:Wales have got into the semi finals of the rugby world cup! Now we just have to beat those frenchies and were in the final!
I read an article, and, according to Krul, Pardew has been doing wonders for the defense. Also going ahead we have a few good players, like Sammy Ameobi, who is seemingly not awful, or Haris Vuckic, who will undoubtedly be bought by a "good" team if he gets any good. Added to that our midfield is solid enough, okay Obertan is not my first choice, but we still have Cabeye, Tiote, Ben Arfa and Gutierrez. And, credit where its due, Best has been scoring, somehow.AnnihilaSean said:Not that I'm not thrilled at our fantastic start, but I really don't understand how we're unbeaten as we only have one striker that's even half decent.

The defense I can agree with, I'm pretty sure we've only conceded like, 5 goals or something. And the midfield, yeah that's all looking great. Can't wait for Ben Arfa to be back as I'm not entirely sold on Obertan either. But there's only so long that we can rely on the rest of the team to grind out results for us. Hopefully Ba can find some kind of form or we spend in January, otherwise I can see us getting left behind.chronicfc said:I read an article, and, according to Krul, Pardew has been doing wonders for the defense.

My personal hero is Fabrico Coloccini, who I would describe as one of our best defenders of all time, not saying much looking at out previous, thoughAnnihilaSean said:Also, I forgot to mention, Jonas Guitierrez is a fucking hero.
I feel your pain mate, but try supporting a Serie A team =( . At least I can catch the Gunners games at the pub every now and then. (I was there for the United game, and it was.....horrifying)Steppin Razor said:Manchester United is doing alright so far at the top of the Premier League, although it's only a single goal separating us from Manchester City so far. Living in Australia and not having Foxtel means I get to see barely any games.
I'd 8 - 2 be in your shoes.Capt. Crankypants said:I feel your pain mate, but try supporting a Serie A team =( . At least I can catch the Gunners games at the pub every now and then. (I was there for the United game, and it was.....horrifying)
