Fierce_LiNk Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Damn, looks like Everton have caused quite a bit of trouble for The Pool. Within weeks, you played three times (although you played the last game as a replay for the FA Cup) with one loss and two draws. I've got to hand it to Everton, they are a really solid team, but perhaps can be too defensive. That is the only reason why I think that they have not firmly broken into the top 4 yet. Give them a goal scorer or two, or someone who is looking to make things happen, and they'd be in for a bigger shout. They've got some quality players, so it's all about building and adding to that.
Fierce_LiNk Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Cahill and Arteta are world class. Yeah, and Tim Howard has come a long way and you can tell that he's enjoying his football at Everton. All that they need to do is expand on their squad. I'll be heartbroken if Everton do a Spurs and sell off their big players season-by-season. You don't get anywhere by doing that.
BlueStar Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 About 10,000 attendance at Blackburn, absolutely shocking.
Fierce_LiNk Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Yeah, that is pretty bad. Although, what were the figures for the first game? Also, Micah Richards Arrested. I just find it funny that the initials for Manchester City also spell that of Media Circus.
Ice9 Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 The Football Association (FA) is demanding "a full explanation" into how viewers missed a crucial FA Cup goal due to a technical hitch. Everton's winning strike in extra time happened as ITV1's coverage abruptly went to an advert break. link Some people here said they missed the goal, but for me, it cut back before the goal went in, just as the ball was played into the box. I'm in the West Midlands on Virgin Cable TV, just wondering what happened for you others.
kyletherobot Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I missed about 2 seconds of football. I saw the goal, the build up to the goal, and even some guy buying a steak and kidney pie and a bovril.
MadDog Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I missed about 5 seconds, about 10 minutes before the goal i reckon. So, no problems here :shrugs:
Ramar Posted February 5, 2009 Author Posted February 5, 2009 Standard TV here, missed the goal completely. Came back as Everton were celebrating.

Noodleman Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Dunno if its been mentioned in here or even covered that much in Europe, but Robbie Fowler has signed for Queensland. It's been pretty big news in Australia the last couple of days. Sadly the A-League season has just finished, no idea when the new season starts.
Ramar Posted February 6, 2009 Author Posted February 6, 2009 Heard about Fowler's move. Can only imagine that it was the opportunity to live in Australia that made him move there. Apparently the bloke is proper loaded so it can't be the money.
Noodleman Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Thats what he said in the press conference, that he paid a visit to Townsville and decided that it would be a great place for his family to live. Which given most of its underwater at the moment is a bit strange. The A-league has a pretty strict salary cap anyway, so I doubt any players in the top couple of English leagues would go there for the money.
kyletherobot Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Thought a few people here would appreciate this:
nekunando Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Thought a few people here would appreciate this: haha.. you thought right
Emerald Emblem Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 And Villa go ahead of Chelsea with a 2-0 win against Blackburn whilst Hull once again causing trouble with the big 4 holding Chelsea to a 0-0 draw.
Ramar Posted February 7, 2009 Author Posted February 7, 2009 All I can say is: w00t! Fucks sake, hurry up and lose.. please..
spirited away Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Ramar any predictions for tomorrow's game? I honestly cant call it...
Ramar Posted February 7, 2009 Author Posted February 7, 2009 Ramar any predictions for tomorrow's game? I honestly cant call it... It's a tough one, I never like to predict the derby. In one sense I'm concerned that our midfield is crap with injuries and suspensions, but on the other hand Tottenham have hardly been setting the league on fire this season.
Happenstance Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Looks like a damn interesting Liverpool match tonight!
kyletherobot Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Man, I would bum Torres all night long if I ever got the opportunity. What a player.
MadDog Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 He's sensational, and i back the Commentator saying he is best Striker in the League.
Emerald Emblem Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Have to feel sorry for Pompey, they've had the worst luck recently.
