English Football 2008-2009

[Sover]

Mike Dean is pretty well establishing himself as one of the worst referees in the business. How do these incompetent people maintain their positions in the game. And he also gets to look more and more like Jasper Carrott in every game, except JC would do a better job.

 

[AnthonyG]

Burnley's counters are pleasing on the eye. S. Utd still on top at the moment though.

Cracking game this play-off final. Paterson is full of running all the time.

 

[AnthonyG]

Dean sends off Mike Ward for a second 'deliberate' hand-ball. Quite a bizarre decision from Dean. Crap I would say actually, even though it qualifies as letter of the law stuff.

Lupoli coming on for S. Utd.

 

[fabo]

No leniency at all. Surely the ref could have given a warning.

Our old boy Lupoli coming on.

Can I come and watch the game at your house cos the one I'm watching here is a hit and hope, long ball piece of crap between 2 teams of cloggers.

Granted I only turned it on 15 minutes ago, seems fairly end-to-end to me.

 

[Sover]

It has opened up a bit but the standard of football has been extremely poor and how Burnley delude themselves that they play a passing game is beyond me, they've been kicking everything that moves since the first whistle.

Scunthorpe played better stuff yesterday than either of these teams.

Well done Burnley. Well done Coyle. They've had a great season.

 

[AnthonyG]

FT 1-0 Burnley. Welcome to the big time. Maybe we can send M. Dean the other way?

 

[Sover]

A few more injuries for us to look forward to next season. These guys make Stoke look like Barcelona.

A special mention for Mr Dean, you got the result you wanted.

Burnley? Seriously?

Along with Swansea and Reading, Burnley are one of the best footballing sides in the championship.

Look at the way they outplayed some Premier league sides in the Carling Cup.

The myth that Championship clubs only play hoof ball is annoying.

 

[Klaus Daimler]

Not true at all. Burnley likes to play ball. I like them.

Edit: TG beat me to it.

 

[tam1886]

They are a great counter-attacking team too. They can mix it a bit. I think the best thing about them is their spirit and togetherness though. Amazing achievement considering the budget and constraints on the club.

Burnley? Seriously?

Have you actually watched them play this season? Along with Swansea and Reading, Burnley are one of the best footballing sides in the country.

I have yes, I've seen their TV games and when they came to the Liberty - they kicked the Swans from start to finish. They're a dirty side, as bad if not worse the Sheffield Utd.

 

[Clrnc]

Pleased Sheff didn't promote.

 

[True Gooner]

I'm sure they're capable of giving out a good kicking - Championship side's that try to out play Premier league sides are asking for trouble, however they're a much, much better footballing outfit than Stoke, Bolton, Hull etc.

 

[tam1886]

Wee Chesney has just resigned as Celtic boss

I'm sure he'll be in the running for the Sunderland job, and maybe one or two others over the summer if things don't work out for some clubs.

 

[Tony Montana]

Anyone else reckon that the league next year will be rather poor?

 

[Stevo the Villan]

Proper football team coming up. Glad to see it.
