Football Season 2009/10

Recommended Posts

Its nearly upon us! Only a matter of weeks before the football league and Scottish fixtures begin, and then the Premiership a week after!

Despite the recession, money hasn't been too big an issue for clubs worldwide! £80million for Ronaldo, £20million+ for Tevez and then the rest!

This could be a fun season, and everyone would bank on Manchester City having a good season, and even finishing inside the top 3...

united will win the title i think, with liverpool winning the euro. so much for bellamy's re-invention then. city will play with robinho/santa cruz or adebyor/tevez upfront, but like madrid they forgot about defence.

owen & rooney will do well for man u, but i don't know about berbatov. fergie will probably get another forward in january if he fails from now until then. with welbeck and macheda on the bench for the main forwards. they still need a replacement for scholes though, cahill maybe?

on the grid.

Heard some sad news yesterday. John Hartson (former Arsenal and Celtic striker) is battling testicular cancer which has spread to his brain.

This is sad news, because from my experiences, the prognosis for such an illness isn't too good. But still, hope he gets well soon

how are they going to give all those strikers games? bellamy and santa cruz to spurs!

i hate united, but i hope they win the title over city (except if liverpool win it!). because city have just bought their success, at least united have done it through the turnover of the club. chelsea had at least some history and a certain level of success before they got took out. city were relegated in 2001.

My heart wants United to win the league again, my head says it's unlikely that we will, so I just hope we don't go trophy-less this season.

I was pretty annoyed the other day over the recent City love-in the pundits are having, but last night after hearing they've now got 8 strikers I just laughed as there's no way you can have 8 strikers and keep everyone happy so that's a indication that I've got nothing to worry about there! They clearly don't know how to use their new money properly!

bellamy, caicedo and benjani wont even get a look in, they will be gone by the end of the window or in january. santa cruz will be a bench player at best with tevez. and it will be adebayor and robinho upfront. who was the 8th striker then? because i think vassell has gone.

I'm glad that Chelsea aren't jumping on the bandwagon this year and spending silly amounts on players. Zhirkov is a great by in my opinion, he'll give some good competition to Cashley and Malouda! Although now I think that Chelsea are weakest on their right side. We only have Joe Cole and Kalou as senior players and with the ACON this year I think another Stephane Sessegnon would be a good buy. Either that or give Stoch and Sinclair a chance for once!

I know that Chelsea are after a "Marquee signing" (although I don't understand why really). It it's anyone, then I would go for Aguero. Despite this I think that it'll be Ibrahimovic in a swap deal with Carvalho and Deco (plus cash).

P.S. E*F*4L, I would like to join the fantasy league but right now I'm struggling to put an in-budget team together!

the bbc's coverage of football is getting worse and worse. mostly notable is jonathan pearce replacing john motson. after martin tyler (with sky sports) finishes i can't see where the suitable replacements are. only clive tyldesley on itv is left.

    • There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first. 
    • It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?
    • Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also
    • For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?
    • They seem to be using James more for cover now makes me think it will be him getting weekends eitjer breakfast or 1 till 4 
    • Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.
    • Ore Olukoga is in for Arielle on Tuesday 14th May. James Cusack is in for Danny Beard on Saturday 1st June. James Cusack is in for Nat on Sunday 2nd June.
    • I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg. 
    • They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!
    • How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it? 
    • I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!
    • A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.
    • He must be in his element. At Eurovision and a Gold award!
    • I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.     
    • So pleased for Scott on his best entertainment show win. As much as I miss his R1 style, he clearly puts so much into his shows, well deserved and it’s a big two fingers up to all the abuse he has had since joining R2
