orwot Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Despondant after today's crap result and performance, my heart was raised a bit by watching Man Ure slip up in their race for the title, not least by Rio Ferdinand passing the ball into his own net at no more than 6mph. Remember last season at ewood when he seemed to be confused which team he was playing for? maybe lightning does strick twice... oh and Lualua had a deft touch to pull the ball back to kranjcar from the byline that has a good chance of being on soccer am. swwwwweeeeeet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orwot Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 his distribution is top quality but he does make mistakes (not least today's). sorely lacking vidic today alongside him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broadsword Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Over-inflated ego, lack of concentration, overly casual, not especially strong on the ball. But his distrinution's good ... oh well, fair enough then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silencio Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Ferdinand could be a really top player but because he's an absolute tosser (possibly England's biggest, which is saying something) he's never got anywhere near what he could be. Vidic is miles better, as are Carvalho, Terry, Woodgate, Carragher, Agger, Toure and Gallas. Come to think of it, which England player is the biggest tit of them all would people say?

mike at picture Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Beckham. Harsh that. Very good player and a decent bloke imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roversmum Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Second that. Beckham is worth the rest of the sorry bunch put together. Only other one I have a smidgeon of respect for is Gerrard. Rio is definitely the biggest *** of them all but the others aren't far behind in my opinion. Far more interested in themselves than playing to their best for England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 That wasn't his fault, it was poor keeping. There was no reason for him to run out to try and claim a ball that Ferdinand was obviously going to be able to easily deal with. Had the keeper not moved then it would have been a good backpass straight to his feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the keeper not moved then it would have been a good backpass straight to his feet. I was just about to post the same thing Eddie. Another thing that I couldnt understand was the ball was rolling slowly towards the goal and Van Der Saar just stood there with his mouth open. If he had turned on his heals when it was PASSED he may have just been able to clear it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenodrog Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Apart from one cracking save Van der Saar looked like a rabbit caught in headlights from beggining to end of the match. I think the pressure is getting to him big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeChuck Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I said after they hammered us that they're the best English side I've ever seen and I was scoffed at. If they're on form they're simply unplayable, but it's wonderful to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevidgeBlue Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Conversely, Chelski are struggling, 1-0 down at half time against Valencia. Don't know if that's good or bad news from our point of view. They're not exactly in scintillating form, but we don't really want the FA Cup to become a much greater priority for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest Roma appeared to almost give up the goose after the first goal Liverpool's comeback in Turkey was still better and Celtic in '67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
