Happy to pile on following Championship next season. Gonna plump for Peterborough I think.

It was either Charlton or Palace and like I've said, soft spot for Charlton, been to the Valley a few times. Been to Palace once and lost a fiver. FUCK PALACE.

Peterborough are generally quite fun, they used to score a fuckload of goals or let a fuckload in.

 

[sneaky77]

so they are gonna put like giant screens in San Mames to show the Europe League final Wednesday.. the tickets were sold out in 4hrs.

Yeah thats my memory as well. they are also the closest championship team (I think) to my old stomping grounds around Oakam (if you discount the pikeys from Leicester City).

I think we're planning a visit to Barcelona around next April and we're going to try and fit in a visit to the Nou Camp, but I might try and convince my parents to go Basque country instead so I can go to San Mames before it gets knocked down.

Pikeys ha. I know a woman called Helga (Mastadon??!?!) who supports Leicester because Elvis Hammond used to play for them. That's it. A tenuous link to Elvis.

Saturday was incredible, easily one of the best experiences I've had as an Owl. Saturday was my justification for all the shit I've endured and all the miles I've travelled over the last twelve years. I'll be there on Wednesday for sure.

United can whistle as far as I'm concerned. They have been dishing it out for over a decade now, lauding it up over their alleged superiority over us, and I hope them bottling the play-offs leads to the beginning of the end. Sheffield history shows Wednesday do not need United and in terms of increasing the City's reputation, Sheffield United continually drag that reputation through the mud. The City would benefit if they faded back into the shadows where they historically belong.

I don't want them to go bust or anything, mind. I just want their fans to be miserable and for the closest thing they can have to a derby match to be against Rotherham United.

Aye, thought that might be your thoughts, can't really blame you. You got any family that are United fans? I've got a fair few Everton family members and whilst I love donning them in the derbies I'm not sure if I'd like to see them crumble into complete and utter insignificance.

Had a look at that new Wedensday sports complex on the Star website the other day, looks sweet. Indoor and outdoor pitches.

 

[Lightning]

Uh huh. You think Stoke are godly at Britannia too. Truth is these teams are bipolar (just like Newcastle) so you can't really be confident one team will win.

At this end of the season home groung support means nothing imo and the only game I honestly care about is ours. Fuck the rest.

All I can say is GO RVP!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Kyoufu]

All I can say is GO RVP!!!!!!!!!!!

This one's too easy

 

[sneaky77]

Emery was fired? Wtf.

No, he was not renewed, his contract was up.

yeah Valencia fans are some of the most delusional out there imo. Emery has done a great job for them

I think we're planning a visit to Barcelona around next April and we're going to try and fit in a visit to the Nou Camp, but I might try and convince my parents to go Basque country instead so I can go to San Mames before it gets knocked down.

it would be worth it, also for the food lol

can this man exact the ultimate revenge upon City

 

[rodvik]

Pikeys ha. I know a woman called Helga (Mastadon??!?!) who supports Leicester because Elvis Hammond used to play for them. That's it. A tenuous link to Elvis.

lol.

Anyways yeah should be fun next season. Following the Championship should be entertaining!

 

[Lightning]

This one's too easy

I know full well it could be his last match for us but I prefer not to think about that and just will on our team to win this match!

So once again GO RVP.

am I a bad arsenal fan for hoping that arsene takes the 20m or whatever ridiculous sum city's willing to pay for him? I mean... let's face it, guy's gonna get injured in the euros, turn 30, and never reclaim his former glory a la shevchenko. We're hardly doing worse without cesc (as much as I miss the guy) when it comes to the table or europe... still trophyless! this whole generation of wenger's underachievers need to leave and be replaced by new blood that, if nothing else, give a shit.

having said that, please score on sunday. we got lucky with norwich... I don't want to bet our season on 'Arry's incompetence.

Family, no. Friends, yes.

I'm always curious how other same City derbies play out, but I think the Sheffield one is quite unique in that both clubs have always been pretty close. I mean we are more successful than them, have won more, spent more time in the top divisions and competing for honours, but it's not like Liverpool or Manchester where one club is so, so much more successful than the other, and where the real rivalry in terms of competitiveness is arguably with a team in another City. When the lesser successful club gets their moment on top - as a result of us being shit more than them actually achieving anything - they become insufferable about it. For a full decade.

I guess the equivalent would be if Everton and Manchester City consistently finished above Liverpool and Manchester United every single year for 10 years, or even started winning league titles and Champions Leagues having played second fiddle to their same City rivals for decades.

Aw, it's my home team

And yeah, you'll never get bored supporting them!

But if we sell Van Persie, we're gonna be stuck with the worst strikers on the planet

Bendtner is coming back, Don't worry.

So it's between QPR and Bolton on the final day. Who are you all backing, gaf? Someone make a list.

 

[Gareth Bale]

It's possible. I know the R's have been shite away from home, but they have to try and get a point at the Etihad. If they don't then they could easily go down. I expect Bolton to put up the fight of their lives against Stoke and get a win.

They'll need to park the mother of all buses in front of their goal, but it's doable

 

[rodvik]

(high five) Should be fun!

Backing Bolton. Fuck QPR.

Worst thing about relegation is having to play the dingles again.

Us and Burnley hate each other but they have been in our shadow for years and haven't beaten us in 33 years, I wish they didn't have a chance to break that

Last one I promise!

Miloooooooooooooooooos

One lucky team is going to get him next season.

Krasic is terrible with a mustache :\

 

[elsk]

Wigan is the best team in England.

The world.

 

[jtb]

But if we sell Van Persie, we're gonna be stuck with the worst strikers on the planet

true. But the only reason chamakh, who has been in absolutely appalling form for the past year and a half, was ruined in the first place is because wenger refuses to play 4-4-2, so when van persie went a whole year without getting injured, chamakh's been a supersub (if you can even call it that, given he's been absolute shit.) he was supposed to be the adebayor replacement, except he arrived a year late; and adebayor rarely played as lone striker, iirc. in short, I blame wenger. for that, and for buying park. I can't even begin to wonder why the hell we bought park if it was only to stick him in the reserves and pay him, what, 60k a week? Shit, you're better off just doubling Nasri's fucking wages.

park, squillaci, diaby... ironic how being cheap can be so fucking expensive. /rant

having said that, who knows.... he bought podolski, maybe even buying m'vila?! who knows, maybe wenger realizes he has to replace van persie with a world class striker should he leave? I don't want my hopes to be mercilessly crushed as they always are... but....

Bendtner is coming back, Don't worry.

:lol

aesthetically they're pretty awesome. but the best team in the country aren't 15th

Yeah I really don't understand why we bought Park...

Dat asian money

Dat asian money

I thought about that but he doesn't even feature on the bench.

 

[rodvik]

Heskey leaves Villa.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17985504

He gets mocked a lot but in reality he has always been a hard working servant for the club.

Definitely time for him to go but I wish him well. Hope he ends up in the Championship at least would be good to see him get a few more seasons.

 

[Freewheelin']

He must have fucked Wenger's wife then, it's the only answer

 

[Sloosha]

Yeah I really don't understand why we bought Park...

I was really looking forward to watching Park play for Arsenal. Pity he hasn't impressed.

 

[Salvadora]

He looked a million times better than Chamakh when he's played so I don't even.

 

[Lightning]

Yeah I really don't understand why we bought Park...

Panic buy incase Van Persie got injured is all I can think off...

 

[Salvadora]

Panic buy incase Van Persie got injured is all I can think off...

Something like 2.3 million. Fucking hell.

 

[Wilbur]

Maybe Arsene thought he was getting Ji Sung to replace Nasri

 

[jtb]

He looked a million times better than Chamakh when he's played so I don't even.

a million times zero still equals zero!

Spoiler

though chamakh did go on that hot streak where he scored like 8 goals in as many matches when he first arrived. then van persie regained fitness and never looked back lolol... I don't know if park has featured in eight first team matches, let alone score.

well, hopefully podolski isn't shit!

I'm also surprised wenger hasn't used walcott as a striker this season, there seemed to be a bit of chatter about that before the season began - theo clearly doesn't learn so putting him on the wing seems a bit pointless when he can't cross the ball, has horrible decision making and clearly isn't turning into the next thierry henry anytime soon; just stick him in front as a pure poacher. he'll create chances just by virtue of defenses inevitably fucking up their offside trap every once in a while.

 

[FootballFan]

I don't even remember him playing. Chamakh has played more to my memory.

 

[Freewheelin']

Yeah Park hasn't really played this season at all, Chamakh was good at the beginning of last season though. Dunno what's happened to him really.

Lee Chung Yong is best Korea. Love that guy.

I really want QPR down but it requires Man City to win the title and I really don't want that.

I AM SO CONFLICTED.

 

[Kyoufu]

Think of it this way:

City winning the title? Cool, enjoy your 1 month of glory.

QPR getting relegated? HAHA good luck in the Championship.

 

[Plasma]

I don't even remember him playing.

He came on as a sub in the Man United game so he could sell some shirts.

 

[Choc]

Bolton will do it for Fabrice

edit: Also Martinez is a fucking genuis. If Wigan play like this all season next year they'll do ok. Sadly they won't

He deserves a bigger club with players that give a shit
