Hey Minge - I really hope Burnley deal to your hacking-bag-of-shyte ;) I wouldn't put money on it but will be supporting them.

[Greyhound]

YES :):):):):):):):):):):)

[shasta]

We got one cup in da bag...we got one cup...

[marinesalvor]

I am happy too - 4 wins in 10 days - and dyer scored a goal - the planets must be alignment

[Gryffyn]

:-)

CAREFREE, wherever you may be, we are the famous CFC!!!

[Gryffyn]

Except for the first 40 seconds the scousers didn't deserve to win although they didn't deserve to concede the goal they did either in normal time.

Was an early rise but well worth it :-)

[Gryffyn]

Some might say that it won't be the last goal Gerard scores for Chelsea ;)

[Gryffyn]

Well lads, still on a high? I hope the result will renew the confidence to win the next 4 P'ship games against the four cellar dwellers and also Barca.

[marinesalvor]

as long as the Toon gets a piece of silver...

[Gryffyn]

is the draw out yet?

[marinesalvor]

um havent checked - but we know we need to go through the **** and Manure whatever happens with the draw

[Gryffyn]

hey they may knock themselves out before then. Go Burnley I say.

[marinesalvor]

burnley vs the Toon in the final would be great

[Gryffyn]

Just so long as Arrse, ManUre and Blackburn Scum don't get any further.

[Greyhound]

Hey Gryff..why do you hate Blackburn so much?[:0]

[Gryffyn]

Because I support Burnley - their near neighbours and archrivals. I have some heritage in that part of Lancs.

Chelsea man from when I lived in London and went to many a game at the Bridge.

[marinesalvor]

Rover up 1-0

Go Sheffield vs the ****

[Gryffyn]

1-1 now with Burnley equalizing :-)

Could be some upsets in the cup yet...

[marinesalvor]

as long as its the **** that get upset

[Gryffyn]

also Saints may go out to a lowly team - I'll laugh about that if it happens.

[Gryffyn]

MS - your chaps play the winner of spurs and Nott Forest tomorrow

[marinesalvor]

hmmmm spurs are getting better too

[Gryffyn]

will probably be the game of the round - only two p'ship teams matched against each other I think.

[Gryffyn]

Damn, Burnley out so BBR play Leicester, Man U play Saints, Toon play Forest/Spurs and ****nal in extra time now..

[marinesalvor]

double darn - **** sneak through

[Gryffyn]

At least the final stages of the cup will have some high quality games with the teams that are through and likely to go through to the semis.

[Gryffyn]

Well MS, looks like you've got Spurs - should be a very good game.

[marinesalvor]

all of them will be - on Leicester as non prems

looking forward to it!! go the Toon

[Gryffyn]

go the Toon vs spurs :-)

[Greyhound]

Norwich away..mmmm tricky.Those little yellow house birds will be fighting for their prem. survival.We used to 'fall over' with these games.Lets prey old habits don't re-surface.BTW,the Yids will win the cup,cause they only seem to win it when its an 'odd' numbered year.

[marinesalvor]

the Toon will win the cup - gotta think positive - the great man needs to go out holding a trophy

[Gryffyn]

best of luck

[Gryffyn]

Woohoo - 3-1 to the Chelsea :-)

[Gryffyn]

And could it get much better with ManUre dropping points at Palace?

And the scousers losing to the magpies!!! If they don;t make champs leagues then Gerard is ours :-)

You last guys are absolute glory hunters. I have read your posts and they are so boring and what the hell does football got to do with this site. Come on administrator, can this string once and for all.

Firstly gryffyn, have you ever seen Chelski or did you become interested after that Russian crook bought that second rate team from south London. He has screwed his country and has wrecked the premiership with his pathetic attitude of "I can buy any player I damn well want to with my stolen rubees". I see you have caught the bug (re your comments about Gerrald).

Enjoy while it lasts, because once sugardaddy goes, Chelski will disappear into oblivion (and the rest of us can't wait).

"Chelski who ever you may be
You have got no history
Lampards fat, and the rest are all queer
You have bought the Championship after 49 years"

[Greyhound]

Kiwi gooner,you're a TWAT.You don't think ****nal,Scum and any other successful side has spent $$ way outside the norm to get success?If you don't you're an even bigger dick than you sound.I'm a kiwi,born and bred and have been a loyal Chelsea fan since '67.I,Gryff and the other one(whose name escapes me at this point) treasure our current run 'cause we know things don't last forever.****nal's finding that out now.
http://w1.1396.telia.com/~u139602049/mooning.jpeg

[kiwigooner]

Just saying what most other 'true' footy fans are saying. Yes, we do spend millions. But that money was earned by playing decent football year in and year out, and winning competitons, as well as buying young players and making them world beaters.

All Chelski have done is find a sugardaddy who is just playing football manager for real. If buying the Premiership gives you satisfaction, then so be it. But it will be a shallow win.

Up until recent, Man U was the most hated team. Looks like your phoney russian franchaise now has that crown.

Enjoy it while it lasts.

[marinesalvor]

Woohooo = a superb weekend - what a Robert Goal to pick up the three points - maybe we will even get into the top half of the table!

[Gryffyn]

I lived in the area for a few years whilst working in the UK. Went to many matches at the Bridge. Was a big fan before Roman. Support them when they win or lose, whether they have money or not.

As GH says, the two other teams that have dominated the p'ship have had financial resources beyond all others. Most neutrals are enjoying the change plus the honesty of the portugeezer - beats the dour ferguson and wenger mind games that we had to put up wth for years. On a good day Chelsea will field more English players than an Arrse fan will see in a season. That's good for the UK.

Bring back Zola!

[Gryffyn]

MS - with all the teams above you faltering that maybe a possibility.

[marinesalvor]

we just have to sit tight and keep the points coming in - I saw our game and was very heartened by our central defence - Boumsong is a great buy - another 2 wins and we could be 7th

[Mingeathinaikos]

That bet on Portsmouth to finish last a few months prior to xmas is starting to look slightly reasonable again....and Blackburn have come right...look out Chelsea next season!

[Gryffyn]

Yes, pompei are sliding rather alarmingly. My pick for saints to go down is jeopardy.

Have to feel sorry for Norwich - one of the few teams to score against us this year and they lost a 2 goal lead to Man City before that.

[Mingeathinaikos]

Looks like the draw is going to throw up some v interesting games regarding the scrap for relegation....will be better watching than the battle for 2nd!

[Gryffyn]

Are you conceding first to the Chelsea then ;)

You're a good man Minge...a realist.:D

[Gryffyn]

Going to be tense couple of hours in front of the telly this morning. If Chelsea do it then maybe they can go all the way, if not then there's just the P'ship to focus on which is good too - fewer tired players.

Not a bad start, 3-0 up after 20mins!:D

[marinesalvor]

3-1 now

meanwhile Manure isnt making much headway

[Gryffyn]

Yes! 4-2

[marinesalvor]

Blues did very very well

[shasta]

MS - That they did, how did Man U go?

Such a shame really, rollon the treble!

[Gryffyn]

ManUre went down - so sad! Although this means they can concentrate on the the p'ship and cup.

[Gryffyn]

Even though Kezman is out of next game Drogba and maybe Robben are back.

Except for the FA cup hiccup at NCU, we seemed to have weathered our injury storm with lots returning like Huth and Parker. Looking good for the run in to the end of the season.

[Gryffyn]

Haven't seen Joe Cole play better than this morning. With his 120 minutes to win the C Cup and performances since he may be staying at the Bridge. Those ex-Hammers are doing the business.

Nail-bitig game to watch - was too cocky after 3-0 up and was sweating to the end after they got their first and then second goals.

Woohoo!

[Gryffyn]

Now if only GPG can pick up the pace...

Looking forward to the draw for next round...

[Greyhound]

Its not my birthday today is it?[^][^][^][^][^][^][^][^]

Dear Scum,

(sorry,couldn't help myself)

[Greyhound]

Golly,will I have somefun here tomorrow WHEN the **** fall over. [:p]

[Gryffyn]

It would cap off a great round of the Champs league wouldn't it!

Don't mind if the scousers get through - after doing the double on them in the p'ship and winning the C'cup we might have the wood on them if we have to play them in the quarters or later.

[Gryffyn]

What a great day it has been :-)

[Greyhound]

Agreed Gryff.Have a soft spot for them scousers and a fellow 'hound trainer is from there and an avid supporter of theirs.He's a top bloke too.BTW,just upon a second look at my pic. I posted, and I noticed that the young fellow looks remarkably like me as a kid,and alot like my 5 year old!!! :)

[Greyhound]

Tuesday and Weds Have been great days,what with Chelsea winning,Scum exiting ,a record "bins out" day in the orchard,and Cube Capital shares 'ON THE CHARGE'...makes me wonder when the opposite is coming and how pissed off I'll get.Bit of a worry actually[:0]

[Gryffyn]

Well, that's life isn't it. Might have to waste a bit of time today watching the arrse and l'pool games.

[Gryffyn]

On the investment front it seems Glazer's bid for ManUre is hotting up. Surprised that the fans haven't managed to organise any arbitage. Does any one know how many shares are freely traded and how many are held by McManus and co?

[marinesalvor]

goal to Liverpool!

re the shares - very hard to get - I had some I bought at 88p - then got out with nice profit

[Gryffyn]

make that two - go the scousers - they're through!

[Gryffyn]

Interesting that the teams out of the FA cup are doing best in CL. Arrse and ManUre will make the FA interesting now with not much else to play for.

[Gryffyn]

Arrse out :-) Scousers through and extra time for Real Madrid v Juve - not sure who I'd rather face out of those two.

[Greyhound]

Dear ****nal..

:D:D:D Eat your heart out Kiwigooner

[Gryffyn]

Hey MS - well done your lads this morning - pretty much guarantee a quarters place now.

[Mingeathinaikos]

Blackburn to go thru in the FA cup this weekend, the others are anyones guess i reckon.[^]

A touch of bias there for Blackburn but the TAB agrees aswell.;)

[Gryffyn]

Bolton, ManUre and Spurs - sorry MS but I reckon they will be better prepared for the game though I'll be cheering for toon.

Just goes to show you that the better team does not always win. Barca completely outclassed you and the winning goal was a result of a out and out foul on the goalie. How satisfying!!!

Enjoy it before sugardaddy takes his toys away.

Gloryhunter.

[Greyhound]

I realise things don't last forever,KIWIGONER,so I'm cashing in while the goings good.You will no doubt dish it up to us when the opportunity arises,fair enough.Right now your lot aren't up to it,and are clearly in ressesion.I will not be surprised if they miss out on the top 5 next season.Don't be a stranger to this thread,we need more posters.Shame there's no Scummers here...:(

[kiwigooner]

Greyhound. I am afraid what you say may be true. The old guard have one more year before they move into the new stadium. If no silverware next year, ****ne will leave.

Surely you would support the **** against Bolton this weekend - dirty play that Diouf.

[Greyhound]

Sorry Kiwigooner,a lazy $5 going on Bolton as they do well against the big boys,as to the Saints when they tackle the Scum.If I get a result,the Yids do well in the Cup when the year ends in an odd number,and go Blackburn with our boy (sorry Gryff).[8D]

[kiwigooner]

See Greyhound, what did I say about Diouf - dirty, dirty player. Class always wins in the end.

What's a bet the ****nal will be matched up against manure in the semi - that would be typical.

[Greyhound]

Pleased for you KG,and saw Diouf do his thing on TV3 news.Sorry to say my tipping gets no better as the years tick over.:(

[Gryffyn]

Well Henri is class but not sure about all the rest of them. Right team won in the end.

How about a repeat of that famous ManUre v Arrse semi-final. One chance in 3 of it happening...

[marinesalvor]

WOOOHOOO we are rapt - Given and Shearer are legends

[Gryffyn]

Well done the toon. Thought they might stumble but they are on a good streak at the moment. FA and UEFA to fight for!

[Greyhound]

You're lot is going well MS.Hope you get someyhing we can't,(FA and/or UEFA).Can any of you tell me why Inter Milan and FC Porto square of this week and none of the others do?Also who have we got in the quarters?

[Gryffyn]

Draw is after the game you mention of course - not sure why the delay.

[Greyhound]

Thanks Gryff.Didn't realise the game was a hangover from last weeks round-I don't always follow the progress of the opposition. Perhaps the delay was due to the Popes ill health?:)

[Gryffyn]

;)

[marinesalvor]

hmmmm - we knew we'd have to go through the **** or the Manure - looks like it will have to be both

[Gryffyn]

You can do it!

[Greyhound]

Gryff,'secuse my ignorance,but what does ;) mean at the end of your postings?

[Gryffyn]

it's a humorous smiley indicating a joke or not too serious comment

[Gryffyn]

Don't forget, Chelski v Baggies tomorrow morning...

[Greyhound]

I wonder how come it dosen't show up at the end of your postings.Everyone elses does.
We better not trip over tomorrow.g

[Gryffyn]

... ah, beacuse mostly I use the quick reply and use old fashioned netiquette and not the graphic smiley - been with the web since the beginning so old habits hard to shake

[Greyhound]

MS...just tell me who you wish to meet in the final,and I'll put a $5 on the other team.That should get the result you want.:(

[Gryffyn]

Blackburn surely.

[Gryffyn]

Sweet - another step closer: 1-0 to the Chelsea :-)

DEAR KIWIGONER





<center>http://mercury.nocdirect.com/~jwiggleb/greeneyedmonster3.jpg</center>

[Gryffyn]

Well MS - your lads look through to the quarters of the UEFA.

BTW - Shearer does alreday have silverware from his BBR days.

[marinesalvor]

yes he does - I have a signed framed picture of his goal "Victory at Ewood" - ironically against Newcastle

we are rapt with 4-0 - just gotta win the FA cup too

[Gryffyn]

Which would you rather?

[marinesalvor]

Both!!!
either one gets us to Europe and my shares go up!!

[marinesalvor]

great story by derek rae on the Toon on soccernet today

[Gryffyn]

Cheers, will read it later. Soccernet is practically my home page.

[Gryffyn]

So GH, who you wanting in the draw tonight?

[Greyhound]

PSV or Liverpool.How about yourself?

[Gryffyn]

One of them or maybe Lyon, not an Italian team preferrably.

[Gryffyn]

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE DRAW
Quarter-finals:
LIVERPOOL v Juventus
AC Milan v Inter Milan
Lyon v PSV
CHELSEA v Bayern Munich

[Gryffyn]

Damn, Lyon or PSV have the best draw. Bye Bye scousers??? At least ine Italian team out. Bayern will be tough but beatable - they have looked shakey at times.

[Gryffyn]

Semis...


Chelsea get meeting with Bayern
Chelsea will meet Bayern Munich in the
quarter-finals of the Champions League
after the draw for the rest of the
competition was made in Switzerland.

Rafael Benitez's Liverpool will play
Italian side Juventus, who knocked out
Real Madrid in the last round.

The two remaining Premiership sides
will meet in the semi-finals should
they progress to the next stage.

Both English sides are at home in the
first leg, which take place on 5/6
April with the returns a week later.

[Greyhound]

Don't mention the war.

[Gryffyn]

Ah, nothing like being at the Bridge with the politically incorrect ground where everyone stands up with their arms out-stretched humming the tune to the Dambusters when playing German teams.

[Gryffyn]

4-1 to the Chelsea :-) Another step towards the P'ship.

[Greyhound]

SHOOTING SEAGULLS ON A SUNDAY MORNING

http://www.pinetreeline.org/photos/stjohn/stjohn61.jpg


What joy.:)

[Gryffyn]

United profits drop by more than 50%
Manchester United today announced half-yearly profits of £28.4million for the six months to the end of January.

The operating profit, before depreciation and player amortisation, was down substantially from the £39.7million figure of the previous year and could put increased pressure on the United board to recommend the £800million takeover offer from American tycoon Malcolm Glazer to their shareholders.

The profit margin has dropped by more than half from £26.8million to £12.4million once depreciation and amortisation costs have been factored in, but before tax.

The decline in profits is attributed to a drop in income from the latest Premier League television deal and a substantial fall in Champions League revenue due to United's third-place finish in the top flight last season.

Group turnover was £91.6million compared to last year's £92.4million.

Media revenue took a sharp downturn of 28 per cent, with a £5.8million drop in Champions League television revenue compared to the previous season.

The club admitted it had been a 'challenging' year.

Glazer has offered 300p per share but his plans are not believed to be favourable to the United board or the Shareholders United group, who are concerned at the level of debt the bid contains.

In the club's announcement to the Stock Exchange, chairman Roy Gardner admitted: 'The process of dealing with our third offer period in the last 12 months has been disruptive to the smooth running of the business, creating considerable uncertainty for all our stakeholders.'

[marinesalvor]

most shareholders wont care Gryf - most have made massive capital gains in the last 3 years, and those that might care about performance would never sell as Glazer might end up with them

[madmike]

now whats all this about the manager meeting the referee at halftime.....must be commonplace in russia

[Gryffyn]

MM ;)

MS - might effect fergie's buying in the summer though.

[marinesalvor]

he owns everyone already!!! presume Bellion will be sold back to Sunderland if they come up to the PL

[Gryffyn]

it's a thought. I kinda pick ManUre to be interested in Gerard - fits in with the rebuilding and youth program. Chelski may get there first of course... but Fergie needs a replacement for Keane and then Scholes soon

[marinesalvor]

theres talk they are keen on Dyer - pity as hes starting to act and play more maturely!

[Gryffyn]

indeed - I've recently added him to my fantasy team with good results!

[marinesalvor]

true, he doesnt usually score goals!

[Gryffyn]

I see Rooney maybe in some trouble - anything to deflect the media frenzy from Chelsea

[marinesalvor]

he must have given his minders the slip that night - normally sir alex doesnt let rooney go out

[Gryffyn]

with a face that only his mother could love its lucky for him he earns so much money...

[Gryffyn]

At last, real sport returns this weekend.

[Gryffyn]

Shearer staying I hear MS, what does that do to the share price?

[Gryffyn]

Sweet. Another win to the Chelsea. 3-1, scored as many goals as Newcastle had players sent off - what's the story MS?

[Mingeathinaikos]

Blackburn hold ManU...i told you guys you'll have to watch them next year!:D

What a difference a kiwi has made in the backline.

[Greyhound]

.....:):)Bliss.........:):)

[Gryffyn]

Ok Minge, guess I have to support BBR a bit as they are from Lancs. Appreciate their work this weekend.

[marinesalvor]

painful weekend - thankfully mitigated by the League (Raiders) win

have always doubted wheter Dyer and Bowyer had a brain between them

idiots are out of the FA Cup - if they cant get a cup then the shareprice will fall

[Gryffyn]

Bowyer is a racist **** that NCU should never have taken on. Wonder exactly what started it on the field? Pathetic really.

[marinesalvor]

it seems Bowyer went after Dyer - given that thats how the fines have gone...

am ashamed - as is Mr Shearer - I liked his comments to the press

[Sideshow Bob]

Did show on TV that was Bowyer (the thug) who went after Dyer, almost headbutting him first.

£200,000 fine. Wow!

[Gryffyn]

Yes Shearer spoke well - managerial material in that regard.

[Gryffyn]

Doco coming on tv next week about the mysterious Abramovich and his Chelski obsession etc - should be a good laugh. Can't remember if its sky or not.

[marinesalvor]

wow - Juve went down to the scousers - a boilover perhaps??

[Greyhound]

Gryff...you must advise me which channel(hopefully not Sky).Kicking off soon.Please let God be a Chelsea supporter.Hopefully Radio Sport will be up with the play.

[Gryffyn]

Sorry GH, don't think it's on sky live (replay is on after it finishes)- broadband internet and soccernet gamecast is where I'm at at the moment. If anyone knows a better feed please let me know.

[Gryffyn]

MS - the old away goal will be hanging over them but scoring as many as Juve have let in the all campaign so far is impressive - good goals too. Shame we have to meet them in the semi if we all get through.

[Gryffyn]

not as exciting on the net but with 20 to go and 3-1 up I'm happier than when it was 1-1!

[Gryffyn]

I can live with 4-2 :-) Sounds like an oscar performance to get the penalty that gives them another away goal but you'd have to hope we can go there and not lose 2-0 or 3-1.

[Greyhound]

I started to shut myself when it became 1-1,but the next anouncement on Radio Sport was 4-1,"Yahoo",then when they told us the final score 4-2,I ,strangley,felt a little pissed off.Giiving up a valuable away goal annoyed me.Still,if Chelsea had scored late on to make it 4-2,I would've felt elated.
Looks like God may well have a soft spot for us.:D

[Gryffyn]

At the least the next leg is in a weeks time so not too long to wait. Kinda glad it might be scousers in semi if we gete there as AC Milan looking very good and rather them in the final than earlier.

[Gryffyn]

I note that in NCUs win this morning that Dywer and Bowyer weren't played at the same time - the latter subbing on for the former - woulder if they shook hands as they passed?

[marinesalvor]

it took Bowyer just 2 mins to get booked!!

well done to the Blues yesterday, just saw the result - ideally they didnt want to concede those goals but they are in the box seat

[Gryffyn]

yeah, I'd rather have the win than not concede goals. You guys also in good position if defence can hold on return leg.

[marinesalvor]

hmmm - yes - we dont have Boumsong in UEFA games....

[Gryffyn]

and you have a few less players for this week's p'ship game ;)

[winner69]

To keep this on aninvestment related topic what do think will happen to the Man Un share price next week

And for the moderator ... there is a strong rumour that Man Utd might list on the NZX next month

See fireworks then and Weldon will be happy ... even more punters having a dabble

Good one guys ... keep at it ... good thread

When is that Chelski program on TV ... found out yet

[marinesalvor]

talking investment - Sunderland is going to be promoted - sadly I think its delisted now though

[Gryffyn]

Hey winner - are you taking the p1ss or what about the listing?

Chelski prog = BBC World, Sunday 7:10 am and 7:10pm.

Mostly about Roman the oil industry and maybe also all the other gazillion aires snapping up clubs...

[Gryffyn]

that would be punters having a dabble on munters that dribble ;)

[winner69]

Gryffn - for the detractors who think this thread should be banned

Maybe MNU willbe dual listed on the NZX ... maybe not ... would be interesting

In the meantime we DO need to discuss what makes this potential NZX stock tick.

It's only right we should be discussing it's competitors ... how they perform is one of the drivers of the shareprice

The other component of value is the raw materials this MNU outfit has ... just like pizzas and fried chicken is important to RBD so is a lot of those unprounounceable names you guys discuss import to MNU

Then again like a lot of the dog shares on the NZX hope of a takeover gives the price a premium .... isn't this MNU subject to a lot of takeover activity and rumour from some foreign raider

From a technical point of view seems to be stuck in a 240/280 trading range ... but can't complain about the price doubling over the last 2 years

[winner69]

The TTNM chrat looks like it is in an uptrend though it's raw material look a bit off the pace

Don't kill yourselves laughing but TTNM is the team i follow .... all because i went along to cheer for that ARS team many years ago and found myself at the wrong end of the ground ... and had to hide all the red coloured stuff I had and roar for the visiting team ... otherwise i don't think I would be here today telling you this story

Can't remember the score but Pat Jennings was the hero of the day ... and one of my heros ever since


TTNM is a good stock for years that end in 01 ... but 2011 is some time off

[Greyhound]

:D:D:D:D@winner69

[Gryffyn]

I can recall Pat J from my father's day. Ah for good old match of the day.

You're right about needing to talk about all the competitors - that's why I started this thread to get off the CFC track although being the leading stock it does get talked about most these days.

[Gryffyn]

and we shouldn't forget that their is a link between CFC and the football club formally known as the Kingz who may need to list to raise cash for the new comp in OZ!!!

[Gryffyn]

Thanks Winner for reminding us that this is a serious thread for investments some of which may have relevence to the NZX.

[Greyhound]

:)In keeping with the new found spirit of this thread,I believe the nzx should invite clubs from outside the prem.league to list and raise capital on a Sport Xchange .:D

[Greyhound]

Brummie bastards.:(

[Sideshow Bob]

At least Norwich did you guys a favour - win when they are basically consigned to relegation!

[Gryffyn]

maybe consigned but they still have a mathematical chance. pretty tight down the bottow there - looking like my pock for saints to drop is getting likelier.

if we draw every game from now to the end, all 6 of them, we win!

[Sideshow Bob]

Norwich definitely do still have a chance, including Palace & the Saints (both away though). Also play the likes of Fulham & Charlton, who have relatively little to play for.

Title will be well decided by then, but with the relegation battle, then is always drama, and almost always goes to the last day of the season.

[Gryffyn]

another good result for the baggies - for some reason I'm hoping Robbo saves them.

CP fall into the mire and Everton put pressure on the the scousers - they may yet have to win the CL to keep Gerard...

[Greyhound]

Dear Bloke Upstairs,please let Chelsea win through.Amen

PS Don't mention the war.

[shasta]

One up already & 5-2 on aggregate - welcome to the semis boys!

[marinesalvor]

what were they trying to do?? give Jose heart failure??

[Greyhound]

**** Jose,what about me?

[Gryffyn]

Sweet. Who do we want in the semi?

Go NCU and BBR this weekend.

[Gryffyn]

Sweet. Who do we want in the semi?

Go NCU and BBR this weekend.

[Greyhound]

Liverpool:D

[Greyhound]

Changed my mind.AC Milan is the team to beat,so lets play them in the semis,and if we loose it won't hurt as much as what loosing the final would feel like.Bring on AC.:)

[Gryffyn]

Interesting theory. We got a draw at the San Siro under Vialli so maybe you're right.

All good at the moment isn't it.

[Gryffyn]

But actually GH, the draw for the semi is already done so we play scousers for the 4th (and 5th) time this year - can we make it 5 out of 5?

[Gryffyn]

Bugger, sorry MS but the UEFA is out of reach this year - that 4th goal has killed it.

Good luck with the FA Cup this weekend.

[marinesalvor]

am in pain... but I have got used to it

go Sunderland

[Gryffyn]

More pain I'm afraid. At there are now UEFA Cup places to chase for down to 7th spot so should make the rest of the comp interesting.

At AS has something to play for next season now.

[Greyhound]

A win tomorrow and then its just 1 point from a poss. 15(goal avg.excluded).Where's that fat lady???:)

(I bet KIWIGONER makes an appearence here if we fall over tomorrow).

[Greyhound]

Nearly there...:)

[Gryffyn]

Great game to watch even with no goals. do it at Fulham this weekend and it's almost a certaimity.

CL next week the biggies though.

Chelsea going global says the radio this morning

Getting back on topic (ie investment)

[marinesalvor]

hmmmm I go away for a spot of leave and find the Toon have irrevocably shot themselves in foot (again)

go Sunderland

[Gryffyn]

What they do this time? What I want to know is why Dywer didn't pkay on the weekend - cost me fantasy points.

Terry gets just reward and the rest of the team may gete theirs this weekend hopefully.

Will be glued to the live match v scousers on Thursday.

[Greyhound]

' Dear Big Bloke upstairs,please be wearing your blue and white scarf,not just Thursday,but you might like to keep it on for Sunday as well.'

Amen:)

[marinesalvor]

great story about Bellamy texting Alan Shearer!! see soccernet

and next Wednesday morning NZ time...

[Gryffyn]

read it thanks MS. Bellamy is the man to see if you want any bridges burned.

Hey MS - you're not a man who knows a lot about sharks are you?

[Greyhound]

A much stronger request will be penned for next Wednesday.

[Gryffyn]

GH - although a draw I like the result with the no away goals conceded aspect. If we score they have to score one more than us.

[Greyhound]

BUMP (For the party).:)

[Gryffyn]

What a glorious morning [8D][8D][8D]

[Gryffyn]

Now if only Wednesday can produce something similar all be rosey.

[Sideshow Bob]

Take it you are happy this morning, Gryffyn ;)

Congratulations - Enjoy!!

[Gryffyn]

Cheers :-) When your football team clinches its first premiership, the 'canes thump the Brumbies and my own hockey team win by 7 or 8 its always a good morning.

[Greyhound]

YESSSSSSS!!! WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS.Been on the JACK DANIELS since 6.30.I am officially pissed.Will be for the rest of the day.GRYFFYN I LOVE YOU, and 'whatshisname' too.Many more inane postings to come.This is CHELSEA day.[8D][8D]:D[8D]:D[8D][8D]

SHE'S HERE

..AND DOSEN'T SHE SOUND GOOD...

[Gryffyn]

I'd hate to see your hangover tomorrow GH. Enjoy and make sure you're recovered for Wednesday - another nail-biter ahead.

[marinesalvor]

well done Chelsea - great season - and superb from Frank L - what a Fantasy Football Captain!!

meanwhile the toon are desperate to salvage their season with a chance at relegation!!!!!!!

go Sunderland

[shasta]

Let us all bask in the glory that was Frank Lampard finally sealing us the EPL & lets hope the focus has turned to the 2nd leg @ Anfield.

Disc: Extremely happy "Mincer" fan

[Gryffyn]

Think you're mathamatically safe MS.

Frank's gone a long way from the days of being nicknamed Lumpolard that's for sure. How many consecutive games?

[marinesalvor]

only just Gryf... am sure that they tried hard to drop

[Gryffyn]

You really have to question the impact Sourness has had don't you. Sir Bobby had them in champs league and UEFA and GS just misses relegation. He's had bust ups with Dyer, Bellamy, Robben and the ridiculous Bowyer/Dyer thing. I think they pushed the Bobby far too soon and GS lept from a sinking BBR as quick as could. BBR may not be pretty but MH has saved them.

Verdict - GS is a failure and keeping the seat warm for Shearer who probably still needs some help/experience before he can manage a really big club like NCU should be.

[marinesalvor]

yes GS has been a massive disappointment, but something had to be done about the discipline issues - almost everyone in the squad with the exception of Given and Shearer, and the new guys Faye and Boumnsong, have acted badly in recent years - maybe Bobby couldnt deal with them - but someone needs to - my old maths teacher perhaps

I question the lack of real discipline from Freddy shepherd - hes the majority owner and its his cash cow - he needs to step in and make real noise.

[Greyhound]

" Our Big Bloke,who put me in heaven(last Sunday),
Hallowed is the game,Chelsea is the name,
Thy final doith come.Can Chelsea be the one.
Give us a goal,our 'away counts double' goal and stop those reds that tresspass our defences.
And lead us not into oblivion,but deliver us a victory,
for the 'Bridge" is our kingdom,
You have the power,give us all the glory,
forever and ever,
Abromavich
:)

[Greyhound]

**** 4 minutes gone and 1-0 down.No Sky,just live computer updates.:(

[shasta]

I've got a rather uneasy feeling about this now...c'mon Frank we need you!

[Greyhound]

Surely they can't keep us scoreless for 2 games???(****in ****s)[:0]

[shasta]

Well we have won away at Aresnal & Man U after home draws in the last 12 months, lets draw on that!

[Greyhound]

Desperate Times Now..
http://www.oc.edu/staff/phil.heffington/PrayerGarden.jpg

[shasta]

One goal & a draw would seal it, keep the faith.

We were a goal down to Liverpool in the Carling Cup & still won?

Or am i merely grasping for straws here!

[Greyhound]

Keep grasping...:(

[Greyhound]

Now listen you upthere..gives us a goal or I won't even consider going to church at some stage in the future. :(:(

[Greyhound]

[Toddy]

Proves that dirty Russian money cannot buy everything!

[kiwigooner]

To Griffyn and Greyhound - gloryhunters!!!!

That must really hurt - ha ha. Especially as you have been beaten by a goal that wasn't!!

Chelski was rubbish - no passion, no pride. Just a team of mercenaries out looking out for themselves. You were beaten by a team who had pride in their team, and not just going for the money. Don't believe me. Look at sugardaddy’s smile at the end of the game –he didn’t care a toss. It’s all just a hobby to him.

Sugardaddy’s going to take his toys away real soon!!

Oh the pain!!!!

[Greyhound]

Sorry KIWIGONER?? how many trophies ****nal won this year?Thats footy.Me Shasta & Gryff are totally pissed off,but thats life.Allways next year...
PS how did I know you would make an apperence this AM? why you not here on Sunday??
Keep posting.:([xx(]:([xx(]:([xx(]:([xx(]:([xx(]

[Gryffyn]

Damn. Fair do to Liverpool - we couldn't score against them and they win the tie.

[Gryffyn]

Go the scousers in Turkey? Happy for them to wim there and then Gerard might stay with them - don't need him at the bridge methinks. But I'd hate for the FA to deny Everton the CL if they finish 4th and lvp win CL - would seem doubly unfair after Heysal etc.

Not much to be positing about now for a while. Wait for the xfer/silly/off season ...

[Greyhound]

Still got the SCUM to play and beat..:D

[Gryffyn]

Yeah, maybe. Won't blame the lads if a b team goes out there and loses. Season is over so they may as well start resting up and taking it easy - we can be very happy indeed with two trophies and Charity shield to look forward to next year. I was at Wembley last time we beat Man U 2-0 to win that one :-)

[Gryffyn]

ManUre probably treat tomorrow as a warm-up for FA cup. Imagine that we won't want to give them bragging rights about kicking our butt so maybe a solid team out after all.

Come on Chelsea - still some records to break.

[Greyhound]

The scalp of the Scum would be nice.:)

[Gryffyn]

1-1 so far.

[shasta]

3-1 Nice result & in there backyard too!

[Gryffyn]

Yeah, 3-0 in results this year!

[Gryffyn]

Well GH, Shasta and other Chelski supporters - only this weekend's game left to enjoy.

Silly season will be crazy with talks as to who Chelsea will buy. Shame it's not possible to have shares in actual players - imagine that trading market?

Given that it is supposed to be a left back, a midfielder and a foward who are you picking / wishing for?

I could handle Ronaldhino (sp?), Ashley Cole (except for the &rse connection) and as to forwards I'm unsure - someone with real pace would be great.

Shame we didn't get Rooney - plonker that he is; the portugeezer might have been able to sort out his attitude and turn into him a better bloke as well as a decent striker.

[Gryffyn]

Hey MS - see we are neck and neck in the fantasy league. I'll be happy if I finish in the top 10 after a disastrous start. Feel I've got the hang of it better now.

What happens at the end with regard to next year - do we all start in the same league again and have to buy new teams or what?

[Gryffyn]

Yo fellow footy investors and followers of the beautiful game.

As is obvious from some prior posts, MS kindly invited me into a fantasy league in which he plays. It has been a lot of fun.

Therefore, before the next season gets underway, I'll start a NZ sharetrader league and post the joining code; all those of us interested in the game can have some fun on the side.

Watch this space in a few months :-)

[Greyhound]

I suppose with all the stuff going on at 'Scum',it really gives creedence to this thread.Fantasy League sounds good GRYFF.Hope we can put 'Toon to bed with a headache tonight.What odds of Becks wearing blue next season?If so,could it be on the proviso that the posh ***** stays in Spain?:)

[Gryffyn]

Jeez, I really hope we don't buy Becks. I think we'll do alright tonight. Will be watcing the relegation games with interest - can't quite decide between shouting for baggies or canaries.

[Gryffyn]

Yes! I think if you troll back you'll see I predicted Saints to finish bottom.

[marinesalvor]

Sharetrader league would be good - I'll be in!

Baggies stayed up - who would have thought it

and welcome to Wigan and Sunderland... and some other team that will go down again asap

[Gryffyn]

Yes. Some light for the toon in that display too.

Just pipped you in the fantasy league. Good fun.

Will start st league for next season.

[Greyhound]

Hope Preston come up,lots of tradition there.Wonder if KIWIGONER will play ST fantasy league.He's very anomonous around here,unless he's really K9/H9/C9 in disguise.:)

[Gryffyn]

Yeah Preston are certainly old school so good luck to them. Makes you think about which ones are listed and taking punts etc.

[Greyhound]

Are Preston listed?I put $10 on today to win the play-offs.:)

[shasta]

Question: Do we support our fellow londoners in the FA Cup, i love watching it live, especially the build up with all the goals etc.

I would support anyone to beat Man U though...

[Gryffyn]

Hobsons choice isn't it. A lover of the game would want high-scoring draw with extra time and a shoot-out!

[Gryffyn]

And it might be a bit much to ask, but a fractous niggly game with an all in brawl would see suspensions carried into next vear.

[Gryffyn]

However, I'll go for the good game with heaps of goals.
