scouser 4 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 OK lads and lasses. The Premiership fixtures for the coming season have been released and so time for the new thread. Another easy championship for Chelsea? Nah, Liverpool are in with a shout this time round and those United scoundrels might be sniffing around as well. I'm going for those as the top 3. ------------------------------- Tons of previous footie talk for the 05/06 season can be found here in "The Ultimate FOOTBALL Thread (05/06)". ------------------------------- Premiership opening weekend fixtures 19 August: Arsenal v Aston Villa Bolton v Tottenham Chelsea v Man City Everton v Watford Man Utd v Fulham Newcastle v Wigan Portsmouth v Blackburn Reading v Middlesbrough Sheff Utd v Liverpool West Ham v Charlton Tuesday, 22 August: Charlton v Man Utd Middlesbrough v Chelsea Tottenham v Sheff Utd Watford v West Ham Wigan v Arsenal Wednesday, 23 August: Aston Villa v Reading Blackburn v Everton Fulham v Bolton Liverpool v Newcastle Man City v Portsmouth Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Blimey time goes fast. Of course, 3rd title in a row for Chelsea. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I hope not. It would be great if it was really close with 3 or 4 teams right at the top. And United winning of course. Link to post Share on other sites
ShinyDiscoBall 2 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Not many headline games in that first week I see. Apart from Chelsea winning once more, I think United & liverpool will be 2nd and 3rd. A big ??? this season will be where Arsenal will be. Hopefully a long long way off.

NoFakie 45 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Good to see that Rafa reads SJ and picked up on my advice six months ago to buy Craig Bellamy. Him scoring on Aug 23 looks like a very sound bet. Link to post Share on other sites

soubriquet 0 Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Blurry hell Mr Wiggles, this is Gannex and pipe stuff. You can't be that old. Norwich to be promoted this season, and in Europe 2007-2008 Link to post Share on other sites

scouser 4 Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 A lot, probably! It depends on where you are. I'd be interested to know about yours at United giggsy. Link to post Share on other sites

NoFakie 45 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Soubs Woodrow Wyatt was still going strong in the Eighties though. He would give it all the "give 'em the birch!" "want a job? get on your bike!" "bring back National Service" type little-England Thatcherist line every week. I only mention him because "The Voice of Reason" is such a good tagline. In my own selfish reality, I define the older generation as people who remember the man on the moon. I was but a babe in arms.... Getting back to the football, that Newcastle-Liverpool game has already been rescheduled thankfully. CL game for Liverpool I think. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Your starter for 10. Who knows what a Gannex is? Who watched Norwich beat Man U 4-0 I would have watched the moon landing live on TV, but I was at work Link to post Share on other sites

rach 1 Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I want the rumour that United might sign Torres to become reality. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 A night out sounds like a good idea to me pie-eater. PM'd you. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Cheers mate. See you in August Back to the footie, rach would you be sad if Ronnie Ronaldo left United? Apparently he said he wants out and to Madrid. Sounds like it might just be part of the politics that goes on round Madrid election times. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 Look forward to it mate. Probably the usual bollocks from Real Madrid. Having said that I bet Ronaldo does want to be playing in Spain. Funny lad, he obviously has a lot of talent but it doesn't always show through and there's a lot of acting about (though less this last season than when he first started).

ShinyDiscoBall 2 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 He can come to Chelsea and join our 2nd team. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Isn't your 2nd team full up as well? Lehmann on good form last night. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 He can be good. I was actually quite surprised to see Bartez in the France goal. I thought he had retired a while back. Obviously not! Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Bartez was a nutter and used to be very unpredictable. Has he become more predictable now. Decent game yesterday, lets hope it's a good one today. I don't want France to win the cup, but want Portugal to win even less... so, come on France Link to post Share on other sites
