Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah! Football's back!

out midfield is weak....carrick, hargo, anderson, nani, ronaldo, park, gigsy and the all mighty scholsey....a mix of class, speed, young blood, and experience, you can not..CAN NOT get a better mix...as opposed to your midfield who still needs to sign passes from their parents allowing them to stay past their curfew to play in the champions league :D

AND ITS NOT MANU, call us UNITED, MAN UNITED, MUFC, Red Devils, Red Army, or simply daddy

No, sadly I think there is a break for an England friendly..

Next week will really kick off..

didn't man u play newcastle 2day?

Please tell me there is nothing on 2 moro night? if there is, sod it i'm off to rydges!!!

You mean there's the possibility of a second chance ?

Is there hope for us ??

oh no...a bloody yank telling me about football, not just a yank...but a manc yank...not in this life time!!! I feel sick. It is Man U...because I say it is. Like I said before, you gotta respect the fergie but your midfield is just a wee bit on the weak side.

Arsene Wenger's Red Army.....WE HATE TOTTENHAM,

Arsene Wenger's Red Army.....WE HATE TOTTENHAM,

Arsene Wenger's Red Army.....WE HATE TOTTENHAM,

Arsene Wenger's Red Army.....WE HATE TOTTENHAM,

Arsene Wenger's Red Army.....WE HATE TOTTENHAM,

two things...A) its not MANU B) we had a @#!$ start to last years season after winning the community shield on penalties.... and history seems to be repeating itself.....is that a bad thing lol

fergie said we are getting a suprise soon, and in fergie we trust, if the news on berba is true (handing in transfer request) then this will be one hell of a suprise,

however

even if we dont get anyone, this is a team that is compared to the busby babes, we are more than covered in defense, midfield, and we do have tevez and rooney, and hopefully soon a fit saha (if he can survive walking out of the tunnel without suffering a long term injury), yes we need someone else, but we are not doomed, actually we are better of than last year, we have our captain back, park 3 lung is back, anderson and nani have spent a year and are developing well, and tevez and rooney got used to playing alongside each other.....

finaly....after two months of boredom, meaningless friendlies, and speculation on the 08-09 season...the fun begins.....Glory Man United....

Man U were poor, without Ronaldo there's no one creating anything in midfield. The midfield looks a bit weak compared to Chelsea...i don't rate O'Shea, Carrick, Giggs or Scholes. Newcastle played very well, you gotta love keegan!!!

Chelsea looked good but Pompey to be fair were rubbish. Like I said a strong squad but not much talent up front, they need a striker more than Man U. Anelka, Schevchenko and Drogba will not be enough to win the title.

It's gonna be a tough season, who they bring in the next few weeks will be crucial...Robinho, Berbs, Santa.

....Arsenal are light in midfield & defence, need a roy keane & tony adams. I predict Arsenal to do well in the cups but fail in the league once again. Transition, Transition, Transition.

I better go back and have a word with them then.........jets offfff

just make sure you dont lose or will find yourself hanging upside down

[img_assist|nid=73057|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

I will be eagerly awaiting for that DAY....

dont worry man they will be losing to MU soon and then she will be cursing the whole team her team.

[img_assist|nid=73057|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

dont be sad....cross over to the other side its not to late....lol

I am so sad:(

am bringing back ma CHELSEA avatar.....

will talk about when MU and Chelskie get on the ground and MU beats the hell out of Chelskie then will see who is going to laugh out loud ;)

[img_assist|nid=73057|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

hahhahahaaaa.....Now who is the one laughing tonite eh???????

Might as well blow all my savings..

The end of the World is nigh!

The signs are all around us..

Chelski win

United Draw

there must be some thing wrong no no i want a rematch again

[img_assist|nid=73057|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

Bloody lucky...Its going to be a long season..

CHELSEA HAVE WON......CLASSIC GAME.....BRING ON THE BLUES....LOL

chelski game is @ 3:30pm i think

won its first game of the season, hope they go from strength to strength.

Chelsea today!!!! what time is kick off please so I can be a maniac and drive home to watch??? lol

for me it starts today at 6, and it could not have started at a better time, i was major getting withdrawal symptoms for the past two months, would have been nice to see united land a striker before the newcastle game but the transfer season is not over yet, and the current team did manage to achieve history last season...... Glory Man United, and let the games begin....

lol Britexpat...as in put a sock in it meaning the MOUTH lol.....

The yanks don't play many sports with the feet.. So perhaps in order to ensure that they kick the ball and to ensure that they kick it with the correct appendage.. The kids were told to kick with the thingy with the sock on it... Hence "Sock-er"..

is a crude method of castration ! lol

*ballbricks*!!Beware!!

thread was boring up until that comment! giggles

(there may be a language barrier between USA and UK over the use of the expression 'to score') ;)

and what do you call those balls which are touched with bricks lady

[img_assist|nid=73057|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

we call it football, cos its mainly the feet that touch the ball strangely enough!

We're still talking football right..

I wish you guys could figure out a way you could score more..

The I watch it...

:)

You can't teach experience

There's always the FA Cup and the European Cup or the League Cup..

Hope Chelski lose all three..

I'm sorry pardon my french, but....wtf?

you dont know you better find out then and do share it with me too pal

[img_assist|nid=73057|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

You can't teach experience

I'm sorry DaRude, what is this final you talk of?

Has the Premier League aquired some kind of Play-off system that i'm unaware of?

 you bad bad gal this is footie topic not mommy topic

[img_assist|nid=73057|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

Be the change you want to see in this world. -Ghandi

Kettle is ready am going to enjoy my Cuppa....

Enjoy your game ARSENAL are winning...:)

1820?...yeah, i remember you! :)

I live in Doha, which is in the middle east/gulf....so yes i live in the 1820's!!!!!

Gays don't exist, women can't be seen and slave labour is a must!!!!! lol ;)

Calm down manyana i was only kidding, make a cup of tea and sit down and watch some real football on the tv...the mighty arsenal! My mum and sisters love football..they are season ticket holders of Crawley Town in the Conference (proper football)!!!!!

What century you living in 1820's....there is absolutely nothing unnatural about moms, ladies and girls talking about football....

Go to Lancashire.. Wimmin will turn your head regarding football knowledge..

"WHATS WRONG WITH MUMS TALKING ABOUT FOOTBALL????"

Well it's a bit like monkeys playing tennis...it just aint natural!!!! lol ;)

Nasri looks a bit special! Looks like a Pires type player (let's hope he can stay on his feet!!!). Man U need Berbs, but if Ronaldo comes back on form then maybe not.

you're lucky, heero!

you're stil here.

(look for kikay account,please)

Trust an arsenal fun to talk like that....WHATS WRONG WITH MUMS TALKING ABOUT FOOTBALL????

Good points..

I'm worried about United firepower though.. Chelsea have spent well and have a great keeper and midfield..

Should be a great season..

By the way , congrats - Samri Nasri scoring on his debut!

You know what am talking about you deleted your original POST.....so dont even go there, am in NO mood to argue ok....

At a guess i would say most of you guys are part-time wanabee fans! This topic is like a bunch of mums arguing about football....no offense or nowt.

Man U are a HUGE club, as an Arsenal fan I have to hate them but I do respect them and Fergie, although Neville is a [mod note: stop swearing or you'll be banned]! Might walk it if they sign Berbs!(1st)

Chelsea are hated by most in the UK, they are a bit like Qatar...all money and no class or history!!! Stronger squad this year, but no talent upfront! (2nd)

Arsenal are class through and through. They may not win anything this year but they will play the best football. Look a bit lightweight but still enough class to push the top two. (3rd)

The Liverpool owners are creating problems and Rafa is doing his best to waist as much money as he can. A bit like the England team, alot of names but no real team spirit.(4th)

Come on you Gooners!!!!!!!!

It doesn't matter i got friends from Scotland and they support Chelsea....it doesn't matter where you from CHELSEA is loved all over

...but can't always go out the whole day coz malls aren't totally open the whole day...

Actually, manyana, what was your problem? Me having issues?

Me playing with Ramadan?

Trust me there is LOADS of CHELSEA funs.....me and brandylady are just the SPECIAL ONES.

As Talig posted above we have created a QL fantasy football league...

Not sure if everyone knows what it is though...

Bansically you are alloted 100 points and you have to assemble a squad of 15 real players with the 100 points.

Then when the week is played you collect points for the particular player you picked depending on how he does in the actual live game....

If you are interested but unsure of exactly how it works I am sure Talig or myself can help you further... Try it out!!!

They call it the American dream because you have to be asleep to see it... --George Carlin

We're using Russaian money to buy fame

We sack managers , no matter what their name

Blue is the Colour and Chelski is our nickname:)

Blue is the colour, football is the game

We're all together, and winning is our aim

So cheer us on through the sun and rain

'cause CHELSEA, CHELSEA is our name.......

Supernurse

......He's already had words with her this a.m that she must sit quietly and only cheer when Newcastle scores (whenever they're playing!)......

He does'nt have to worry, they don't score very often lol

... will probably bottle out AGAIN.

Chelski - will wait and see what a new manager can do for them.

Man U all the way for me :o)

----------------------------------

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

and wifes meanwhile break the bank , max up the credit card ...

Arsenal ? No Chance. They'll do well to come third. I hate them, but I thing Chelsea wil take it.

Championship is too close to call.. I hope Birmingham or Reading win it.

Kenny Sansom - Good bloke..

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Watching the Premiership and Rob McCaffrey makes me feel like i'm at home. I miss the buzz and excitement of the first day of the season in the UK!!!

Arsenal to win Premiership

Notts Forest to win Championship

Leeds to win League 1

Bradford to win League 2

Crawley Town to win Conference

For any of you proper footy fans i met Kenny Samson last month at a crawley game against palace, nice guy.

Your poor little daughter.. She'll have to sit quietly all through the match, because the likelihood of Newcastle scoring is pretty remote..

I hope this year nothing happened as last premierleague!!! 7 families (maybe more) here in Doha has been destroyed(reported by Ras Laffan news)..............husbands at Continental and and Garvees to watch the matches and wifes..........

Good luck British.

novita...I can see the connection lol maybe I should get some although I get a sick satisfaction when nursey junior switches the tv off and causes mayhem when the footy is on....heheheheeeee

........... Now I am thinking, he bought some masking tape and rope yesterday ........ uummmmm?

It is best to leave him with his father. A boy needs to understand the finer points of football and the whole lore of shouting at the referee, jumping up at precise moments etc etc.

Plus , it will help him bond with his father..

novita lol wow how did you manage that?!! Thats a good husband! I think it would be instant arabic style divorce if I left my 2 year old with him while he was watching footy......He's already had words with her this a.m that she must sit quietly and only cheer when Newcastle scores (whenever they're playing!)......

Talking about chores for hubby ...

... i get my own back. I leave our 7 yrs old with him, you dont really think i am going shopping with son in tow do you?

Oh no! Poor u guys super n novi... i totally understand ...see now this is the only part i like abt being in 2 different countries after being married:)

I dream of a better tomorrow where Chickens can cross the Road without having their motives questioned - Unknown

6 hours live premiership on Saturdays ............... followed by another helping on Sunday,

Ramadan and short hours to boot ..........

Who says there's a problem working/living in Qatar?....

Shangri La LOL

novita, lol, we are football widows lol

My hubby has chores to do before he makes himself comfortable watching bloody football later otherwise I will put my rolling pin through the tv lol

Gives you more time to spend alone doing window shopping and other fun things..

Please make sure he has enough snacks to get him through the matches and that there are new batteries in the remote..

Da: I hope so too, but Chelsea look strong..

supernurse, we can suffer together ...

I am taking my son mate back to his house, then off to spend the day in the city centre *rolled eyes*.

And thats what my weekend going to be like for the next 9 months *another rolled eyes*

Bundesliga also started yesterday. Bayern Munich : Hamburg SV 2:2. But what is this compared to Yelena Isinbayeva?

[img_assist|nid=73057|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

britexpat.....oh no!no!no! My hubby reminded me today! Thats it no life for me anymore! He's got all the premiership games on......my daughter and I will have to find alternative enjoyment on a Saturday now!......bloody football....lol

On top of it Ramadan starting soon and Half day..............
