Gizmo Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I don't like the generalisation that everyone who doesn't support their local team is a gloryhunter. I don't live in Glasgow, but I still support Celtic, as my family always have. I was just brought up to support Celtic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey_T Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 haha bring on chelsea! we can knock them out with our home record, oakwell is a fortress. come on!!! here is the draw in full: Full draw for FA Cup quarter-finals: Sheffield United or Middlesbrough v Cardiff City Manchester United v Portsmouth Bristol Rovers v West Brom Barnsley v Chelsea Matches to be played on the weekend of 8 and 9 March. Would have preferred Bristol Rovers at home (Like just about every other Barnsley fan lol) but Chelsea at home will be fun. Any idea on how the tickets are going to be done? 2 per season ticket again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwarf Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 How easy do Chelsea want their cup run? MU have had Arsenal, Tottenham and Villa (which i saw). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iun Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 It's common knowledge that due to Man Utd's dominance in the Premier League during the 90s co-insiding with Sky TV, they have the largest following of glory hunters. This from a man who revels in the demolition of opponents several leagues inferior. There's nothing wrong with being proud of your team, but your success is measured by the strength of your opponents. So anyone who rubs shit in the faces of a team with obvious deficiencies in strength, tactics and overall ability is nothing more than a glory hunter.

Fierce_LiNk Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I've been busy the last few weeks, so haven't been able to keep up with posting on here much. Watching the United/Arsenal game was absolutely awesome. Possibly our best display this season, although Arsenal did look really poor as well. I'm a bit shocked at just how easy it was. Nani, Fletcher, Evra and Rooney had fantastic games. Hopefully this will also Nani gets given more chance to start games now, as he can really be a menace on his day. Now, Liverpool/Barnsley...absolutely shocking! Especially as how it was at Anfield as well. Awesome stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but when did I revel in the demolition of opponents several leagues inferior? Considering this season we've only played one lower league team, and that was Sheffield United in the Carling Cup. I highly doubt I banged on about that. In fact the only team we've demolished this year would be Slavia Prague in the Champions League. And I'm gonna quote my reaction after the game, hardly rubbing shit in their faces. ARSENAL! ARSENAL FC!WE'RE BY FAR THE GREATEST TEAM!!! THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN! AND IT'S ARSENAL!! ARSENAL FC! WE'RE BY FAR THE GREATEST TEAM!!! THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN! Amazing result, best performance all season. Roll on Liverpool on Sunday.

darksnowman Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Now, Liverpool/Barnsley...absolutely shocking! Especially as how it was at Anfield as well. Awesome stuff. You fiend. C'mon the Pompey!! Speaking of Liverpool... lets hope something good can happen tonight. It needs to be a game like when Juve came over the other year- and with Torres playing lets hope it can be. I see Benitez said he's committed to the cause but even so, if things go pear shaped against Inter then it could be curtains. Inter have their own pressure though- the club chairman/ president/ or something says he has his place in the final booked so they must deliver. At this point we're still looking good for a Liverpool v AC Milan final. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intensity Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 If Liverpool want to win they need to introduce Crouch and they need to introduce Pennant so he has some good delivery. Inter dont have the biggest center backs in the world and with Matterazi off could be vunerable to the threat Crouch poses. Take off Lucas and Kuyt (who has been shit for the 8736463636th time this season) and Rafa could be on to something. Keep it the same and Inter will shut up shop and defend this game out.

Eddage Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 The second was a pull on the shirt, it was definatly a yellow. Please, he barley touched his shoulder. Torres made waaaay too much of it and as a result got Marco sent off. One of the softest dismissals I've ever seen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the softest dismissals I've ever seen! Its the champions league, what do you expect? Everybody knows the referees in this competition dont enjoy letting the game flow and are overly harsh on 99% of bodily contact. I agree with the second yellow card, the first was a complete joke.

Happenstance Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 It was an obvious pull but that wasnt what brought Torres down, I think that was a soft clip. If the second was a yellow which I think could be as there was an obvious pull, even if it didnt take him down the first challenge wasnt a yellow. Freekick maybe but I wouldnt say yellow. But of course im not gonna complain :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarf Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Even with 10 men Liverpool have only had 1 clear-cut chance. Cant watch the second half cause Ariel is muffed. Not missing much I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoogleViper Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Games like that the referees are strict because they know that there will be a lot of tension and the players will start to bend the rules. Personally I think they have gone a little too soft in football. They are stopping strong tackles. Didn't they bring out a new rule for 06 world cup or something saying that they aren't allowed to lunge? So then nearly every slide tackle was blown. I think they need to man up a little and let the players go in strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwarf Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I think there needs to be a sport which is softer than rugby but harder than football. That sport would be to my liking. As long as it isnt gymnastics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
