The Football Topic (Page 28 of 52)

I was in Cardiff...jeez, was it seven years ago? A once in a lifetime experience. If we make it and you can get hold of a ticket, go for it!! The playoff final is the richest single game in world football, who would have thought.....

The other Hartlepool topic has gone away, especially as you already posted it here.

The Arse losing at home at HT, come on the Scousers for later.....I am now off to Belgium for Michael Burks and will not return till early Sunday AM.

Try and be good.

No doubt there was some similar celebrating yesterday in Berlin as 'The Old Dame' managed to save their Bundesliga place with a 3-1 victory over Hoffenheim on the last day of the season! Bit of spice in their too as Hoffenheim are now coached by Marcus Babbel who was the Berlin trainer up until Xmas when he left following a row with the club manager Preetz.

Cologne needed to beat Munich which was never really on and the went down automatically after a 4-1 home thrashing. Last game for Podolski there as he now goes off to Arsenal. He'll do very well there I think if Wenger uses him right. Much more mature now. I hesitate to say this but I see shades of Bergkamp about him now. He actually makes more goals than he scores. Very good team player. As it is he got about 19 this year I think.

Now Brelin have to play a winner take all tie against the third place Budesliga 2 side..........but we don't know who that is yet! St.Pauli, Paderborn (Amazing that!) and Dusseldorf are still in with a shout. Whoever it is though I think Berlin will win and stay up.

Dramatic stuff...........Oh and I see that Wednesday pipped the Blades for the automatic spot in League 1. Now that has gotta hurt you Blades.

Thats football mate. We can't all support Manxhester United and it would be pretty boring if we all did. We are the colour and shape of the game. The silent majority, suffering, week in, week out, with just the occasional glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.

But for all that I still remember Bobby Moore shaking my young hand as he opened some shop or other and saying "Thanks for coming son. Whats your name and where shall I sign?"

Heroes and suffering, wonder and tragedy. You are not alone.........by the way can we have our 20 mill back. You haven't used it very well and should never have had it anyway...................

Mike I nearly peed myself.

No, it isn't. Anyway, I thought it was 'only' 15 m.

If you really don't know what we mean, one of us will be glad to explain.

Anyone notice that Messi scored all four goals in Barca's win and now has 50 (fifty) league goals this season? Unreal.

Great shame that the Chavs won the cup, but the blunt truth is that this L'pool team doesn't deserve to win anything.

I will confess to being surprised at the ease with which Citeh beat the Barcodes this afternoon Looks like only some kind of miracle can stop them taking the title

Mate, nobody is looking for a football argument or (heaven forbid) fight here on Joe's forum! T'was nothing more than a bit of traditional banter, no offence intended.

Congratulations to West Ham. Thoroughly deserved the result. Just the final play off to go.

Appreciate the congrats from Sheffield! Watching the game on a good stream was by far my highlight on what was otherwise a very depressing day. We appear to be on a roll at the right time, though you can never tell. Collison looks like he'll be fit in time. I would also prefer to play the Tangerines instead of Brum.

I think it's really generous of Barca to have left at least one record for Real.
