The Barclay's Premiership - 2004/2005 Season - Thread

Do you think Pompey tried their hardest against WBA...I don't

Nope, me neither.

Poor old Soton. It will be interesting to see if they come straight back up, or turn out like another Milten Keyes Dons/ Forest..

Bye bye Norwhich,6-0, you don't eally deserve to stay up TBH.

Do you mean on the basis of that performance?

Well that and the fact that they didn't manage one single away win.

I noticed that WBA survived on a points total of 34. West Ham were relegated on 42 points. This tells me that.....

a. The quality of the premiership this term was lower than of previous seasons.
b. The newly promoted teams were not as good as previously promoted teams (Bolton, Boro, Birmingham)
c.Chelsea and Everton's new found form have made it harder for the lesser teams (namely the relegated ones)

Interesting observations, very true as well. Lets just hope that the newly promoted sides of next season will have a bit more to offer lol.

I always feel a little bit sad and depressed at this time of year. No regular football for 3 months

Well watch this video

LMAO, that is just hilarious. Look at how many headers he was doing on the move, then the other chap came in with some sort of flying kick, lol. Great stuff 👍

They can only win in Lettersby Avenue I think.

Is ist the same guy near the end aswell? That guy got abit of an elbow!

 

[Race Idiot]

Yup, thats his trick called the Seal Dribble. It's pretty much impossible to take the ball off him without fouling him. That kid's a Brazilian under 17 international called Kerlon.

 

[ExigeEvan]

what if you stand in front of him and he just run into you?

 

[911_Carrera]

Yakubu and Michael Owen to Newcastle?

*EDIT - OK maybe not...Yakubu to Middlesbrough.

 

[ExigeEvan]

No, because Owen wants to snuggle up with his old chummy Gerrard.

 

[Race Idiot]

what if you stand in front of him and he just run into you?

That would be a foul, because you aren't trying to get the ball off him and you basically just body check him in the process. Anyway I doubt he'd just run straight into you and just standing there isn't the greatest defensive tactic.

But if you get infront of him as iff to challenge him and he just runs straight at you because he is staring at that ball you can't get done surely.

I don't think he is staring at the ball 100% of the time. The only way I can see is to maybe try and header the ball off of him, although that would mean probably trying to headbut him at the same time.

 

[911_Carrera]

That sounds like a job for James Beattie.

That is freaky!

You mean awesome.

Perhaps this thread needs to be closed? Or dead, maybe we should have an offseason thread.
