bob Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I do feel a bit sorry for Dazzybee, but i suppose he brought it on himself and would probably do a similar thing to Ramar had Spurs finished above Arsenal . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipaul Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Lovely work @Ramar. The prospect of that post was pretty much the sole reason I wasn't particularly disappointed when Newcastle lost to Arsenal! I miss football already...getting season tickets for next year though! Can't wait. In the meantime I'm pretty excited for the CL Final and the play off. I really hope Dortmund win!

Until you see Le Saux :p If you want football on Sunday, you could always tune into BBC2 to watch the Womens FA Cup Final. Bristol Academy vs Arsenal Ladies. I'll be cheering Bristol Academy naturally They play their home games at the venue I play Pro5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Bristol City season ticket prices have come out. League 1 price now £235. Will be purchasing on Monday. Thats a decent price. I pay 300 quid for mine. EDIT: Nice to see you renewing though, despite the relegation. Our attendance has plummeted since relegation from average of 25k-26k in championship to 16-18k in League 1.

dan-likes-trees Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 At least the Vermaleon being worse than Vertonghen was on the money, quite significantly. On the note of ydays debate - http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/may/23/uefa-champions-league-europa-league - Uefa to offer Champions League place to Europa League winners - Other plans being considered include whether to award a fifth Champions League place to clubs in the big European leagues and to expand the number of Europa League places on offer. Also teams who win the Champions League or Europa League but finish outside the qualifying places in their domestic campaign will no longer usurp one of their league rivals to take up their place the following season. - The new rules are expected to be ratified by the Uefa Congress in London on Friday and will apply from 2014-15. Dunno what I think about the above. 5 teams is definitely be a money thing, and makes the competition needlessly big. Flink won't be happy. And Europa winners getting a place belittles the competition a bit. But at the same time makes some degree of sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vermaelen at his best vs Vertonghen at his best, I'd still be taking Tommy V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald Emblem Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Yeah but will Verminator be in the team next season? Rumour mill is circulating and a lot of it has to do with him being sold in the Summer as well as a story about Arsenal agreeing personal terms with Ashley Williams.

Rumour mill is circulating and a lot of it has to do with him being sold in the Summer as well as a story about Arsenal agreeing personal terms with Ashley Williams. I really hope not. I hope he works hard over the summer and comes back the player he was before his long injury. Vermaelen and Koscielny are my preferred partnership but the big cuddly giant is a decent alternative and it's hard to argue with our defensive record when he's partnered The Boss at the back.

Emerald Emblem Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I really dunno, Koscielny and Mertesacker have always had some kind of mutual understanding, even when the big German first came to the Emirates and their partnership hadn't properly developed they seemed like they would be a strong match up in central defence. If Verminator can recover his form then it'll be a good selection headache for Wenger to have. Also kinda hope the story about Ashley Williams is true, could do with a leader back there and who knows, maybe Verminator and Williams could be a great first choice centreback pairing, then we'd have two that could interchange when needed, but that's all speculation.
