Football Season 2006/2007

[gmac]

I can see there being rather intense competition to start the season 07/08 thread. Go for it too early and it gets locked, leave it too late and some other fucker beats you to it. More tense than La Liga! But in the end, of course, I will be the winner...

 

or of course the mods/admins could just rename this one

I say we open the 07/08 Season thread right after the end of the Spanish Season, whoever opens it first wins love and kisses?

[flameboy]

actually the Spanish league is producing one hell of a finish, up until last weekends fixtures 4 teams could still win it, now its any one from 3 with Real, Barca and Sevilla seperated by 2 points

 

if Real win their last 2 games they win the league, Barca have to win both theirs and hope Real drop points, Sevilla can win the league if they win both and both Barca and Real lose 1 of their games

 

if Real and Barca are equal at the top Real win the league due to superior head to head, Sevilla have the better of Real this way and Barca better Sevilla, it then would get really complicated if all three teams were equal at the top

 

Yeah I've been keeping track of it all closely...

 

I used to support Barca as a kid, cos this spanish man worked with my dad and gave me a Barca flag, but I kinda want Real to win I think it would be nice for Becks to pick up a trophy he has been in such excellent form (whether he should be in the England squad again is another matter)

 

EDIT:

 

La Liga is the best league in europe in terms of who can possibly win the title, you have Barca, Real, Sevilla and Valencia who will have started the season thinking they can win the title and then also Villereal and possibly even Zaragoza, A.Madrid who think they could get Champs League

I say we wait until the fixtures are released next month.

But I found my bagsy:

 

I'm glad Chelsea won, West Ham better do the right thing and get relegated!

 

I reckon that that American tycoon will buy Arsenal, causing the Daily Mail to go into overdrive about how the Premier League is turning into the NFL with all these American owners! Oh my god! There would be 4! ARGH!

 

Bagsy me make next seasons thread, heh heh heh.

 

If somebody called dibs or bagsied something, you can't go back!

We're not in the playground now..

[Roostophe]

The boundaries of dibs and bagsying go way further than the school playground. It is used everywhere my friend.

Can think of a couple who have played for 4 teams, not 5 though...

[Ant-Shimmin]

Yeah sorry I got it wrong it's 4 Players

 

Anyway here are the answers

 

Dean Saunders - Liverpool, Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa and Benfica

Ronaldo - PSV Eindhoven, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Real Madrid

Pierre Van Hooijdonk - Celtic, Forest, Benfica, Feyenoord

Laurent Blanc - Barcelona, Marseille, Inter Milan, Manchester United

 

[Fields]

I had Ronaldo and Van Hooijdonk.

 

Right then, an easy one for you. Who is the only player to have played in the Conference, all divisions of the Football League, the Premier League, the UEFA Cup, the Champions League, and the World Cup finals? At least I think there's only one guy that's done it.

[gmac]

I knew those answers, saw it on another site last week

 

Fields is it Steve Finnan?

Lol, no I've known it for ages. But I did get it off the telly at some point, you're right. Quite an amazing little fact though, isn't it? I bet, when he was playing for Welling United, if you told him one day he'd be a Champions League winner and will represent his country in the world cup, he'd have laughed at you.

Hmmm, I guess the best player in the world doesn't matter to you, nor does Scholes or Carrick or Giggs.

 

If you do have the best midfield it obviously isnt good enough. Sorry, are there no trophies in your cabinet this year?

jk
