BagOfCrisps 24 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Poor ManYoo Surprised at how lame they were, but Barcelona were good to watch. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Feeling very ok about all this. La-de-da. Anyway, footie-fans-on-sky/e2 >>>> don't forget to cancel your footie pack in the next few days (unless you want to watch endless repeats or just waste 11500 yen for 3 months when there's no games!) You can join mid-August to get the August games and they'll only start charing from September. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Wow, that was getting on for embarrassing. The midfield were completely outclassed and the defending on the goals was Boumsong level. Only Van der Saar came out with any credit for keeping it respectable. Messi - what a player! Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 Good reminder rach. Do it before 31st May and you forget and get charged 3500 yen for June. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 Rooney was surprisingly bad. The whole game was just quite weird as if United weren't all that bothered. Outclassed all over. Messi is brilliant isn't he. Sometimes it looks like the ball is stuck to his foot - United simply couldn't take the ball off him without a lets fouling. Link to post Share on other sites

bobby12 0 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 FA cup final is on this saturday night, can cancel the subscription on 31st (sunday)? Maybe Barca will be stripped of the trophy when they find that Messi and Iniesta both had massive amounts of superglue on their boots. Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 scouser - I remember when the new fixtures were published last summer on BBC website - I saw them about an hour after they were published and I thought "hehe, Im gonna start the new football thread on snowjapan and pip everyone else to the post" but I found you had beat me too it by about 45 mins!

scouser 4 Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 Hey it's my job, let me do it! You can cancel now and you will still be able to watch through until the end of 31st May. No worries there. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I can see the ManYoo chequebook going into overdrive this summer. They only got 5 points out of 18 against Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea too. Link to post Share on other sites
stemik 14 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 if Man United play next season like they did last night then Burnley already have 6 points! Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Hope Liverpool get their checkbook out too. David Villa and Gareth Barry please. I reckon a big name striker will come in to replace Keane. It would be suicide to try to scrape through with Ngog and El Zhar again as the only cover. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I will be quite happy if Ronaldo goes - and we get an enormous cheque for him. Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I dont think he will go. I think he knows glory lies with man utd, not real. He would become a megastar like beckham, but his football successes would be limited to the national team for the rest of his career. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Are you sure about that bobby12? What with Perez being, as widely suggested, the next president of Real Madrid, and also promising some big name players if he does, Real could easily ursurp Barca again. What does he have left to prove with Man Utd? Retained the premiership and a hattrick of them, won club world cup, champs league, FA cup, league cup and community shield, amongst personal honours as well. Damn I hate him.

bobby12 0 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I don't think Real have the winning culture anymore, it will take something special to get that back like a tough president, manager and revamp of the team to get in hungry players instead of arrogant ones. Link to post Share on other sites
ShinyDiscoBall 2 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Thats what some are suggesting might be the challenge for Ronaldo - getting them back winning again. His massive ego probably thinks that. Link to post Share on other sites

bobby12 0 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Real is the team you should join at 30 years old to crown your career symbolically after having won a lot already. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 The Ronaldo story seems to be picking up pace just like last year. Fed up of it already. With all Ronaldo's vague comments he should either pen a new extended contract or just go. So - either sign on for more or please go now (then regret later in your own time).

thursday 1 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 the Sweet FA Cup final was and is an anti-climax to the season. one would get the cup, the other sweet FA. who's playing again? don't wanna know. Link to post Share on other sites
