scouser 4 Posted January 1, 2007 Author Share Posted January 1, 2007 Grudgingly admit he is good. Happy new year all. Rather surprised to see Chelsea trailing the leaders by 6 points, more so to see Bolton in 3rd. We're on our way though.

2pints-mate 0 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 All the best and all that. That goal from Newcastle near the end there means that we can pull back 2 points again if we win today. I bet it will go right down to the end of the season this time. I didn't see Crouches sooper scissor goal. Any good? Link to post Share on other sites

2pints-mate 0 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Definitely a possibility. It's going to depend on how the next few months go (obviously). The man doesn't like losing - but whether that would make him leave with excuses or continue to fight and win remains to be seen. Link to post Share on other sites

scouser 4 Posted January 11, 2007 Author Share Posted January 11, 2007 Here we go here we go here we go, etc: "Tensions between Jose Mourinho and the Chelsea board appeared to bubble to the surface last night when the manager revealed he was not expecting to add to his squad this month despite identifying players he wanted to bring in. After Chelsea had been held to a 1-1 draw at Wycombe Wanderers in the first leg of their Carling Cup semi-final, Mourinho hinted at problems with his directors and refused to confirm his long-term future lies at Stamford Bridge."

soubriquet 0 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 "David Beckham coming to MLS might be viewed by some as one of the most important moments for soccer in this country and perhaps the history of professional sport," said MLS Commissioner Don Garber." "David trancends the sport and is a cultural icon. David is clearly one of the most recognisable athletes in the world. People are going to feel really good about David Beckham spending the rest of his career in the US." Exactly. Did anyone call a taxi? Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 this looks like a move to retirement. Many football greats either end their careers in MLS or J-league. Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Sounds like he wants to make the club the Man Utd of USA and bring up football in USA to the level of baseball etc. Sounds like a good plan to me, hes got his head screwed on right. Link to post Share on other sites
