• Re: The Wenbly shadow

  • From: davebond21
  • Description:

    The strange thing about the shadow, is that when Wembley was built, the architect, Lord Foster claimed that it had been designed in such a way that none of the pitch would be in shadow! What happened to that claim?

    I agree. It was great to see what the likes of Cardiff and Barnsley did in 2008. It would be nice to have a few giant-killings this year. Let's hope it starts with Paulton Rovers v Norwich this weekend!

• What game are ITV commentators

  • From: hants41
  • Description:

    It would appear that ITV football commentators are watching a completely different game to us. Quick to criticise players except when they play for England. If someone cheats then say that - if we went and looked at every penalty last season how many would actually be ? If Rooney cheats then say so - be honest. There are far more important things in life than football and perhaps they deserve better than overpaid footballers and commentators allowing cheating.

• Dving, Conning, Cheating whate

  • From: poivre
  • Description:

    Surely the media (TV in particular as the most powerful form) has some kind of responsibility when it comes to cheating! Hence why juniors at the age of 8+ emulate what their idols do, therefore encouraging cheating.

    i am sure this debate will continue as ive got to call it a day and get some work done, cheers.

• Cheating

  • From: suiedoll
  • Description:

    I agree. If a player cheats, y not show them the evidence afterwards. The players and the managers. If its wrong, show them that we know and tat everyone who is watching, know they have done wrong. If a player is caught cheating, y aren't they punished for it? players are always getting away with cheating. By not punish them. Ban them, cause with the amount of money they get, what is the point of giving a fine. If u punish a cheater and let others know that if u cheat, u r going to get punished for your

    I agree with the 3rd eye being needed. The penalty, well we've both got our opinions. We will need to see what the ref will say, if he will say anything.

• Rubbish commentators

  • From: willyfog
  • Description:

    I'm watching the 2nd leg live on tv and I was very disappointed with the commentator's lack of conviction in condemning Eduardo's disgraceful dive to win the penalty.  I'm glad to say Jim Beglin rightly castigated Eduardo for it but even after a couple of replays the commentator was still asking 'well, what do you think at home' when it was a blatant attempt to cheat the referee.

    I watch a lot of football and would probably go as far to say that about 85% of all penalties that are aw

  • From: hbscouse
  • Description:

    Can anybody tell me what happened in this afternoons match ( I know Chelsea won) but it would have been nice to see how they did it without having to continually screw up my eyes to try and make out what was happening in the dark!!!. Surely the floodlights could have been powered up to boost the lighting, the t.v cameras just couldn't cope with the contrast, it's just not good enough for such coverage on a world stage.

• Re: What went wrong?

  • From: harry boulton
  • Description:

    I think on Wednesday the first goal changed things beyond belief. We were comfortable and in control but with their first attack they were more precise than we were all night and....... BANG! Done, and then you're chasing the game. Against a side who keep the ball better than any other in world football.

    The goal was perfect for them and because we then started chasing the game we played right into their hands.

    People have criticised Fergusons tactics and maybe he did get it wrong but le

• What went wrong?

  • From: topumpire1
  • Description:

    I feel that after about 9 minutes tonight, United thought "oh this is going to be easy, but  we must make it interesting, give them a goal, & "we" could get it back as usual.  But Barca given the opportunity will just play keep ball.  United chased the game but couldn't do it again, you cannot give teams like Barca an inch - thery'll take mile.  Once in front, that was it, wasn't it!

    Who played well tonight? no-one really, after the first 10 min

    Is upon us again, a thrilling finale to the Scottish season.

    Normal paranoia and conspiracy theories aside let's have your predictions for who will lift the SPL trophy.

    If Rangers beat Dundee Utd at Tannadice it is thiers and it does not matter what Celtic do to Hearts at Parkhead - sounds strightforward doesn't it? It seldom is though.

    I think the people who've been casting doubt on Wenger's methods ought to be banned from Arsenal for life and locked up in an asylum.

     

    Lets get one thing straight: Arsenal football club is under no obligation to deliver titles in the short term. There is no rule saying that if we fail to win a trophy for four years we are suddenly a failure as a football club or that the business model ought to change.

    Boro are gone. Sad but true, I can't see how they can possibly come back from what happened on Monday.

     

    Villa have been a bit cack recently but they still have players who can turn matches and I'd take them to grab at least a point against Boro.

     

    My weekend treble:

    Fulham, Arsenal, Chelsea

     

    Oh btw. Has the ITV spy been made redundant now that his riveting section of the forum has been removed?

    Hi all
    
    I've recently been put in charge of this forum so wanted to introduce myself and open up a dialogue with our (admittedly small number of) members to see how we can improve this place.
    
    I've been monitoring the forum for a few days and it's obvious there are a number of issues you have and I'll try to deal with them here.
    
    Firstly, the reason you were moved over from the previous 365 forum was because ITV has terminated their agreement with 365 and now produce their w

    There was a time when we were kings,
    And our voices were loud,
    And Goodison was uninviting.
    There was a time when we won things,
    And the world was ours,
    And the football was exciting.
    There was a time then it all went wrong...
    
    I dreamed a dream of 1995,
    When hope was high and worth re-living.
