What a weekend of Footie!
By Milky_BarKid •
Manchester City reached the FA Cup Final for the first time in 30 years with victory over derby rivals Manchester United at Wembley.
The El Clasico finished with a 1-1 draw.
The Gunners v Liverpool today!
Watching Barca play against Espanyol at the moment, they just look so awesome. I don't see United winning unless Messi, Xavi & Iniesta all get injured before the final.
Dont fink that Fergies has any intention of retiring yet. I will be supporting Man U against Barca.
Lets hope they do the double!
If only United had played like that against Arsenal ...
Just one more point ............... Then Fergie can retire happy..
Man U got the Blues in their own back yard. Well done to Man U for the historical win one hand on the trophy already!
Congrats to britexpat & Baldrick2dogs! Balders you owe us a few downs downs!
Not a single place in the EPL decided? If Chelsea pulls this off it will one of the greatest comeback of EPL history.
The place for the fourth spot is also interesting, but I guess Man City are still the favorite to clinch that ahead of Spurs and Liverpool!
britexpat it would be nice to see Chelsea win, it will make the last two games of the season that much more interesting! Lets all hope that Man U get the blues today!
I can't look...
I'm afraid that Chelski might actually pull it off :o(
Another fantastic weekend of football, every game is like a knock out game.
Spurs failed to capitalise fully on Man City's loss to Evrton and share the spoils with Blackpool who move out of the relegation zone.
Will todays match between Chelsea and Man U be the decider for the title race. Will Torres finally produce the goods. Let wait and see for another block buster Super Sunday of Football!!
Barca on their way to Wembley will Man U do the job tonight?
another field day for UEFA conspiracy theories.
I was really expecting a win for ManU against the Gunners and those stupids made me crazy.
Got a feeling that Man U might finished with F*** all this season if they don't up their game..
Arsenal down Man U.. Man U are they loosing the steam in the last lap.
The title race is all open again?
Well done to Liverpool who climb up to 5th. But there was not sign of any let up by Man City who firmly control the 4th position.
I hope Arsenal win today INSHA ALLAH.They are one up at the moment.The title will not be decided next week if they win today.But Chelsea are breathing down heavily on their backs.
britexpat I hope it get worse this afternoon, when the Gunners will gun Man U down.
also to watchout for today is Andy Carrol against his previous team. I hope he scores against NewCastle today.
rub it in
Spurs have had a good season, but let alone the goals yesterday Chelski dominated the play and deserved the win irrespective of the way it came.
I just hope the Gooners win today to make the last few games really interesting.. WTF was Sir Alex doing at Stamford Bridge yesterday?
weekend i had and alot of lovely site seeing ah loved it :D
plus have a new venue for out group party :D
Bad weekend so far :o(
Chelski won controvercially.
Wigan drew and should have won.
Blackpool drew and should have lost.
Worst of all , Blackburn won ....
IS THERE NO JUSTICE IN THIS WORLD ?
First goal didn't cross the line, second an offside.. Spurs deserved better for their performance yesterday..
Chelsea .. Have the decision going the right way for them. If Arsenal beat Man U today. It will be a close finish with Chelsea and Man U next week.
Will Man U hold there nerves and cross the finishing line ahead of Chelsea or will they fall.
'The special one' will not give this up without a tough fight that's for sure.It was a thrilling match at the Bernabeau but it will be even more exciting at the Camp Nou.
It will be Real vs Man Utd in the final INSHA ALLAH.
WK lets wait and see if Mourinho has any tricks left to over come the 2-0 deficit.
So Manchester United vs Barcelona in the final?
The octopus already has predicted Real to make it to the final.. lets see if this Octopus is better than the last one..:)
Tonight will be a match not to miss.I hope i don't at least INSHA ALLAH.Real will want another win over Barca in 2 weeks.
Great game.. Shame about the Keeper..
It should have been 4-0 at the end ..
Ok Ok Baldrick2dogs.. Now dont get carried away about the score at OT. They have a tough match on the weekend!
Going off the stats, they were twice the team Schalke was:
67% - 33% possession
19 shots to 7 (or some such)
6 Corners to 3
Expect 8-0 at O.T.
Finally Man U produced a performance worthy of praise in the Champions League. I think they are half way to the Final at Wembley!
Lets see what City do tonight..It will be more interesting to see who finishes 4th rather than on the top..:)
Chelsea have some work to do,but it's not difficult.Man Utd are breathing easy at the moment.
City wins tonight and it will be difficult for Spurs to catch them for fourth place.
Its a two horse race now. Torres scoring yesterday is that the sign Chelsea needed? Lets wait and see..
arsenal loses once again :)
Hahahahahahaha .... and Hahahahahahahaha !
The question now is whether City can overtake them ....
I think they can :o)
It's going to tight right to the finish.
It's a draw at the moment at Bolton.Lets hope Arsenal go through at least with a win.
yes, there is also a match between the two
Seems unlikely..
There are only four games to go and Liverpool have played one more and are 3 points behind..
The main question is whetehr Spurs can keep up with City.
Will Spurs have a meltdown and Liverpool sneak through?
Looks like Spurs have blown the 4th spot looking at the fixtures coming up. Champions League will be poorer without Spurs. They brought most of the excitement during the group stages :(
Torres scored finally, is this the start of the final lap for the title race?
Not a good weekend for the teams from the Captial so far, hope Chelski win the Gunners also win tomorrow..
Yep I guess it's a little too late for Liverpool..
Liverpool on a goal spree today. Even Joe Cole scored
Man U do it again.. That south American twat scores again for the reds. I guess Man U already have one hand on the EPL Champion.
I hope both Mr M and britexpat are wrong..
Arsenal for the title, Spurs for the 4th Place..
Scousers will finish 6th at the best to make Europa League
I also think Kenny deserves a Champions League spot with his side.
This United side isn't and will never be like what we have been used to seeing before at Old Trafford with all due respect to Fergie.
I remember going to Elland Road and Anfield to watch the great days of Liverpool. But I do think that Fergie deserves that 19th title..
I'm going by calculations.All this so they don't surpass Liverpool's 18 titles!
Brit no i'm not.They are closer to the top now than Arsenal was some time back.I hoped that Arsenal would win the league,but that obviously isn't the case now,Any other team EXCEPT Utd to become champions!
Are you a closet Chelski supporter :o)
I hope Everton get the better of United today.Chelsea to beat West ham and purs slip up against West Brom who are also in good form to give Liverpool a glimmer of hope to qualify for the Champions League provided they beat Birmingham INSHA ALLAH.
Torres sale must be the biggest win for Liverpool this season. Good on you, you scousers.
Lets see the results tomorrow to see if Man U will get back on track or will they give the Gunners and Chelski another glimmer of hope.
With Torres sitting on the bench, Chelsea have a real good chance :P
Arsenal have to start winning if they want to capitalise on any Man U mistakes!
Yep.. squeeky bum time...
United kick off against Everton... Not an easy match. Everton are playing well...
Chelski should beat West ham, but Arsenal could come unstuck against Bolton..
Yep britexpat another cracker of weekend football tomorrow..
Interesting news....
Getafe have been bought by a Dubai group and will be renamed Getafe Team Dubai..
Is this going to be a new trend in Europe ?
I remember years ago, when Jimmy Hill bought Luton Town and wanted to rename them Luton Bedford Vans - But the league put a stopper to it..
So, what names now come to mind ?
If United slip up against Everton on Saturday,then that should give Chelsea and Arsenal a boost.
Well done spurs..
Its going to be a great few weeks. Chelski second and still everything to play for ..
Fook..Another Penalty another 2 points lost..:(
Will be a goal fest tonight.
Spurs to win.
Keeping on wishing britexpat and baldrick..
We gonna beat the Spurs.. If we dont then the title is yours for the taking..:)
Got to go with the Spurs.....
1-0 will be enough..... Then it doesn't matter what happens with United against Chelski or Arsenal ..
Will be wearing white tonight
Up the Spurs :o)
And lets hope Arsenal win at White Hart Lane tonight.Now that is not very easy!.In football anything can happen! ALLAH AALIM.
stealth..well what do you expect he is French and has been in London for too long!..lol
As Gooner myself, I quite enjoyed the Treatment the French words he received from Kenny Dalglish..
Really pissed that we dropped two points. Hope Newcastle beat Man U tonight..
when does Wenger not complain?
Well I hope Newcastle will do us a favour tomorrow and beat Man U.
Gunners still have a good chance..
Give me a break. Wenger was complaining as usual. Its about time he acknowledged that the Gunners are losing the plot.
Scousers robbed us of three points..
I think for the gunners it will a mighty task now to catch the Reds unless they lose or draw a few games
It was great to see King Kenny telling Wenger to piss off at the end of the game :P
Fantastic games - we are happy here :-)
Well what an afternoon.. :o)
Well done Tony and Stoke... Never gave you a chance.
The Arsies game nearly gave me a coronary. Liver pool should have won, but am thankful for the draw...
I think Chelski have been conned by some clever Scousers!
And he hasn't yet scored for Chelsea.He looked like a ghost yesterday,wandering around the pitch!
valid point.. Mr M just shows how much the EPL is worth!
Brit doesn't that name DiBenedetto sound like an Italian? i presume he must be American of Italian origin.
I think it's far too less,for a club like Roma.Torres cost Liverpool 50 million pounds!
britexpat is this yet another take over by the Yanks?
An intereting aside...
Roma have become the first major Italian team to be bought by foreigner. A group, led by U.S businessman Thomas DiBenedetto have agreed to buy a 67% controlling share of the club for 70.3m euros (£62m).
Now what surprised me is not that the club has been bought, but the amount paid....
Seems paltry compared to the sums being paid in the EPL..
Balders which game you watching tonight?
I think I will watch the Gunners V Liverpool followed by the second FA cup semi final.
Fateh, there were about 100 threads on Cricket which is why Nomerci was pissed off. This is ONE thread on footie. Get over it.
I hope Stoke get the better of Bolton today.
Last night's El Classico was a tough match.But honours were shared.
I hope Arsenal win today INSHA ALLAH.
It should be 7:00 PM Doha time, not 100 % sure
What time is Bolton v Stoke again for the second FA Cup semi tonight?
whyteknight I hope not.. I would like the Gooners to win this one!
ok gents, carry on...I'm off to work...leg-pulling session is over :)
I do on threads related to cricket.
Why don't you start one.
whyte, why don't you fancy for KXIP; you fancy too much for firangs ..lol
I fancy Liverpool tonight.
Oh and Barca should have won last night, still title as good as secured. Now for Copa del Rey :)
Milky, when did you start caring for Qataris, bytheway?
;)
Fateh, How many Qataris play, watch or know anything about cricket?
whats your gripe Fateh?
Do you like football or cricket?
Milky kid, I have issue with hypocracy of some here...not against a person!!!
when it's cricket, some starts crying foul but now....???
Qatar hosts HIGHEST number of cricket-liking residents, much more to tootie-footie stuff, so?
whyteknight I think Gunners might just nick this one..
Scholes has done a unique double, getting sent off at both old & new wembley :P
It was awful to see City winning but I hope Spurs overtake them for the 4th spot in the league.
Liverpool to win today by 1 goal.
Fateh, don't compare the two Because Qatar Loves footie..

fateh If you have any issues with nomerci go and sort it out with her, dont hijack the thread!
http://www.qatarliving.com/node/1740729
...no comments on this.....typical hypocracy !!!LOL
Balders I hope so too, Dont want Man U to lose it from here!
I 've got Wovles and Blackpool along with WHU to go down!
Spurs wont make it to the Champions league and will play in the Euro league with Liverpool and Birmingham and may be Everton if Man City win the FA cup!
Arsenil can't buy a goal and Carroll is rocking already.
2-0 to the Scousers!
I hope Blackburn go down and West Ham avoid the drop..
lol britexpat..
O Yeah Qatar loves EPL so much that they have the EPL trophy in Town and I got a text message from QTel about it and Fateh you telling me that Qataris do not like Footie?
Anyway hope gunners beat Liverpool today to put some pressuere on the top?
Who will finish 4th with Chelski climbing back upto 3rd place.
Who will drop down to the Championship?
For goodness sake... Don't give them ideas :O)
Spot on Balders
what about this gentlmen ?http://www.qatarliving.com/node/1740729
Nope. They hosted the Asian Cup as they are passionate about it.
They will host the 2022 World Cup as they are passionate about it.
They will NEVER host a cricket world cup.
baldrick2dogs......joke of the day....."....are passionate about their footie"... RPFL.....you must have forget Asian cup.....!! I still remember your comments ..lol
Who says that only topics related to Qatar need to be discussed on this forum.
The Forum is for people living in Qatar. This includes all nationalities and news that impact/interest them.
Fateh: If you are not interested in a topic or think someone is asking a silly question, just move onto another post instead of insulting or mocking them.

Fateh, Man City is owned by Abu Dhabi and Qatar is interested in buying Man U. :D
Yes it is related. Qataris are passionate about their footie. Certainly more than boring cricket :P
Where are those beastbeaters on CRICKET & subcontinent????
is it related to Qatar??????????????????
Scholesy was reckoning he'd give it one more year then go to Oldham and spend his last season with his childhood team.
After last night I think Fergie will pack him off early!
I hope Man U don't let the other two slip away?
Me think Arsenal will beat Liverpool today!
lol at Ginger Prince.. Scoles when the fook will he call it a day?
He comes up with some "amazing" tackles :O)
BritExpat are you getting the Sunday blues? Berbatov the leading Goal scorer in the EPL is now an idiot. Amazing hero to vilain in just one game.
Not sure about Bolton today, lets see how they do at Wembley today?
The Ginger Prince strikes again :o9
this will never bother anyone???
Its that idiot Berbatov again. If only he's taken his chances.
I'm now going for Bolton to Lift the Cup..
