Capital Summertime Ball 2024

big sam is doing well, he is really sorting things out. not only is he telling players already there to fight for their place (babyaro etc). owen looks as though he is stopping. we now have viduka, barton, geremi, and rozehnal to help with the back 4. and geremi is a utility man so if we have some bad luck like last season he can fit in to a lot of places.

Well Southend have lost Freddy Eastwood, to be honest I dont think its too bad a loss, and 1.5mill in the transfer kitty is good stuff... Leeds are having more trouble, up for sale by the administrators.

he'll do very well at wolves, mabie he can help again the scum who are losing all of their players becuase they didn't win the playoff final.

Just finished watching Rangers V Chelsea from Ibrox. An entertaining game in which Chelsea brought their strongest team to Scotland. I was quite impressed with the Rangers centre back Carlos Cuellar who was excellent. The game has just finished 2 - 0 to Rangers with goals in the 84th Minute from Nacho Novo and 86th Minute from Filip Sebo .

chelsea might just about scrape a champions leauge place this year, they seem to have done hardly nothing to strengthen their squad at all.

and with all whats happened with barton it seems that the dark cloud is still there, we need another 3 or 4 players. a midfeilder and 3 more defenders i think. barton should be back around 4 games in.

Football season is drawing near, looking forward to it starting again. Does anyone play any fantasy football games like fantasyleague or the Suns dream team?

a great purchase. i like alan smith i think he'll fit in well, just dont let him and barton kick off!

but we still need a midfeilder and some defence!

[Mafro]

No doubt the Charity Shield will be an utter snoozefest.

[DC]

i think we have had the 'best' if there was such a thing of dyer. now he's off to a club that just about managed to stay in the premiership last year, more or less only through one man. and back to lee bowyer as well, punch up comedy may be due! but i dont know why they are ranting so much over west ham, i dont think newcastle will win anything this season. but west ham probably wont do much better. they are talking about west ham and man city like they are going to break into the top 4 and it isn't going to happen.

[John]

Leeds have had there share transfered over, but suffer a 15 point deduction to start the season :confused:

[Mafro]

I'd put a cheeky bet on Spurs finishing 4th if they sort out the defence and Ledley King stays fit.

[DC]

well they have the team, no question. a great team now i must admit. but their fanbase is full of knobs who go to away games just to fight and they think they are on par with man u/chelsea/liverpool. i cant stand them, they talk like they have won all the cups and the champions leauge 12 times. i'll never forget the look on their faces when martins launched that screamer in at their ground last season. and they couldn't even get past john o shea between the posts.

[Mafro]

What the hell is with the comedy team line-ups?

[Jono]

Urgh, what is it with my local newspapers. Every single one of them has written about football, even the mardy women who are total feminists.

[DC]

well this has to be dealt with by watching it, like i do. it's been crap with no football, just bloody cricket and concerts all the time.

well i even see liverpool hammering chelsea home and away this season, if thats the best they have to offer then they may as well not play. newcastle can play better than them with no back 4 (as we did last season anyway). that malouda looks good though.

and christ, gerrards goal in this too. i wasn't even going to bother watching that the other day:-

probably the best english player in this country. he just dosent seem to have a bad game.

What on earth has happened to Sky Sports News?!!!

[Jamie]

Charity Shield was quite good today, was expecting a repeat of the cup final but it was a lot better. Chelsea didnt seem to have a lot going forward think they missed Drogba a lot. United had some really good spells of classy football, given a few more games and a bit more match fitness I thnk we would have walked all over Chelsea. Ronaldo and Rooney both looked very lively and Van Der sar done well with a Hat-Trick of penalty saves. Defense looked more solid than it did against Inter, roll on opening day!!!

P.S what the hell has happened to skysports.com

[jembie]

It is going to be good to take part in Premier footie chat this season. I have sort of lost the plot as far as my knowledge goes as we didn't get much cover in the Championship...

Is Chappers doing the Channel five show this season? I will look forward to watching that and MoTD every week now. I haven't watched MoTD for so long it is going to be weird getting back in the habit

[Jono]

What on earth has happened to Sky Sports News?!!!

No doubt worried that Sentanta Sports News is going to pee on their fire when it starts. Elsewhere Sentanta has now got 2.5 million subscribers.

i think united deserved to win yesterday. chelsea only really had one clear-cut chance and they scored from it. and i think anyone on their day can beat chelsea becuase they aren't a good team as they are made out to be.

i know sky sports have gone for a 'new look', i'm not so keen on it so far.

[Mafro]

Ashley Cole was voted the man of the match. I'd love to see how they came up with that decision.

[DC]

it was the best i had seen him play in a while though, he had an awful season last year. i think he might be finding his feet again now it's sunk in how much he is being payed.

[Mafro]

Shaun Wright Phillips should be getting more games this season after that performance. I'm surprised Sven hasn't tried to bring him back to Man City. Also, its nice to see that Jose has began with his moaning/daft excuses a little earlier than usual.

[sebdevlin]

Positive proof that roy keane has gone a bit crackers as he's now after Mido oh dear, with this and the signing of keiran richardson for £5.5 million time to the men in white coats to escort him to his rubber room me thinks.

bring it on roy. i still dont understand richardson leaving united, i thought he got featured quite a lot. and with giggs getting on in years maybe his chances would of increased.
