2009-2010 Football Season

[saltysam]

Well from my team's point of view it's been a disaster.From putting in a stormer to finish 2nd last year we are going to finish out of the top 4 and no CL football next season.I go to every home league game and for the most part we've been ok,it's our away form that's been a disaster.i just hope we can hold on to Torres,who is a magical striker. on to other teams,Arsenal were destroyed by Barca last night (Messi ) and i've just had the pleasure of watching Utd dumped out of europe by Bayern Can't stand Chelsea but it's them for the league i think.

I've pinned my Euro hopes on underdogs Fulham!

Oh man, Arsenal was absolutely ridiculously BADDDDDDddddddd last night. Seldomly have I seen such piss-poor defending. An absolute joke at this level.

Barca weren't even THAT good last night (Messi was great, Xavi was great, but the team didn't play nearly as good as they did in their first match against Arsenal last week), but Arsenal just fucked it up bigtime, tactically, and also just individual mistakes.

No english teams in the semi-finals, which is a shame. Chelsea once again had to cope with poor refereeing, just like last year. Liverpool have been poor all season. Man Utd seem to be doing OK but somehow their football or players hardly excite me.

Messi was just amazing the other night Arsenal did make some silly mistakes but we had half a team injured or something.
Surprised Bendtner often scores now

Bayern Munich were poor apart from the goals.

Glad they won though.

I heard Fergie called their team "typical Germans" when they apparently tried to get a Man U player sent off.

[Markgway]

Ferguson is a moaning red-faced bastard.

Just got back from Anfield-tinpot competition but a good performance from us for a change

[Markgway]

Forgot to mention: My team (Dundee United) are in the Scottish Cup Final. Yay!

[grim_tales]

After being given a lifeline of sorts, Arsenal threw it all away in 10 minutes against Wigan.
Unbelievable

[Markgway]

We're a cert for a Europa League place next season... little chance of catching Celtic for second place though.

If you get 2nd are you in the Champs League?
Inter beat Barca last night 3-1 despite Barca having much of the possession apparently.

I think we would have to play qualifiers. UEFA are tougher on Scottish teams.

[saltysam]

I'm old school.As far as i'm concerned Champions League should be for Champions only.

So only first place should get into the Champions League? How many would get into Europa then?

2nd,3rd and the Fa Cup winners.

United got rogered 2-0 today by Celtic. So we're third guaranteed.

The game was apparently the usual disaster. Ref sent off the wrong player. Gave a second yellow for persistant fouling when it was only the player's first after the orignal yellow. Funny how these kind of mistakes never happen to The Old Firm. One of our subs started limping 5 mins after coming on as a sub. Another tore a ligament and had to come off - and that was after our three subs had been used up. So we played the last (crucial) part of the game with 9 men. And in the dying mins Celtic got a penalty. Beautiful.

[Markgway]

Fulham are in the Europa Final.

[grim_tales]

Dundee Utd won the Scottish Cup

[Markgway]

Yes, we did!!!

[grim_tales]

Is that the Scots equivalent of the FA Cup in England?

[Markgway]

Yes.

[grim_tales]

Thanks I was unsure

[Markgway]

Ach, you English know nothing about Scottish football!!

We know it sucks...
