TalkBass OFFICIAL English Football thread 2012-13: second half

[Tituscrow]

Breaking news....the Met have dropped the case against Clattenburg, citing 'no witnesses have come forward, therefore no evidence to warrant further investigation'. A la JT, those lovable scamps at the FA are continuing their own investigation....but in hopeful that they too will exonerate him and Chelsea get the book thrown at them.

Hello. I came to say English Football is the best. I really enjoy watching it.
I'm from Argentina.

Cheers.

And so they sang...

Hello and welcome. Stay a while and watch us all grumble at our teams.

Welcome aboard, brother. Feel free to join in...I just hope you aren't as blinkered as our last South American poster

So what's your story? Who is your Argentinian team? Do you have an affinity for any particular English team....if so, why? Do you follow your compatriots abroad?

I'm sure I speak for all of us here when I say that this is undoubtedly one of the coolest threads here in OT. Great spirit, genuine warmth, plenty of ups and downs, some fiery debate and most of all, people who actually know what they are talking about.

Just watch out for a lurker called bassybill...he occasionally chimes in to grumble about how his team (Bears? Leopards?....the name escapes me!) used to be famous. A bit like Leeds. But don't upset him, because he's a mod and he can do heinous things like change your avatar to Luis Suarez

Looking forward to hearing your spin on things.

Oh, Keano....mate, I'm so sorry! My Ma still has your Carlisle v Spurs prog and the local rag with the match report. With any luck, she'll post it before Xmas

Interesting. Fergie seems to avoid DM's like the plague, but we badly need one. Ya'll being in the Europa, would that make him cup tied, and thus not available for CL matches?

I have a feeling the whole thing will blow over.

If I didn't know who he was, that gif would be near heart breaking. As I do, I chuckled a bit.

Don't his team, the Lions I believe, have enough problems without comparing them to Leeds, harsh work man. Harsh.

Isn't Bill's team Birmingham City?

[MartinG1957]

Ooooooo I see a slew of yellow cards of Clattyberk dimensions approaching...

I'd just like to say Bill Sir that I totally dissociate myself from those silly comments your honour and I hope that Lee Clark drives your favourite team on to great things including glorious victories over those neighbours of yours named after dingoes or something similar.......

(ah what the hell lads.... We can't all get banned.... Can we??)

[Tituscrow]

Ibrahimovic's fourth goal? Meh. I scored one like that once. During a Subbuteo tantrum.

[Darkstrike]

I scored one like it actually playing football.




















By like it, I of course mean that the ball ended up in the goal, via a kick.

[Keano]

Pff. As if that goal was worth making three consecutive joke posts for. Why even I scored one like that once.



















It was a hashed clearance that ended up as an own goal.

[MartinG1957]

I never scored a goal like that..... :-

But I hear Ibrahimovich is a really crap bass player..... :-)

[Tituscrow]

Actually, the more I watch it, the more I think van Bastens volley in '88 against the Russians was better.

[Darkstrike]

I completely without bias like Rooneys against City.

It was against a rival, and he didn't have all that room and junk.






BTW, is Hart like weak to volleys or something, they seem to constantly get past him.

[MartinG1957]

Cheez, Keano - Here we go hope it's a game worth watching even with a lot of the good guys on both sides out - good match and fair result hopefully decided by players and not officials and im happy at least!
Enjoy! :-)

[Darkstrike]

Should be a quality match.

[EdHunter]

Was that a red? In 1982, no. In 2012, yes.

[Tituscrow]

Game Over.

[EdHunter]

No wait, Dempsey's on! He will surely set the World alight with his goal scoring prowess, just as he has been doing all season!

[cheezewiz]

A most satisfying win. There is no better way to get a victory than by Adebayor having a dumbass attack.

[Tituscrow]

Meh. One of those weekends to just forget about.
