Unofficial Mills

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.

    • I don't feel there's so much overlap between M&M and Scott's shows. M&M is of a similar calibre to Scott & Chris on R1, with genuine laugh out loud moments and usually a show packed full of real interesting content. Scott's R2 show is IMO a shadow of the stuff he did on R1 (not his fault, he's doing exactly what station management want), with music and content to appeal to a much older audience.
    • To be fair, Scott & Chris would've still been fine on Radio 1. It was mentioned at the time that Scott's move was very much on Radio 2's part rather than Radio 1 wanting to move them on. That's the one problem that Radio 2 has, trying to appeal to such a wide demographic.. it's the perfect listen for many, but equally a turn off for many others. I think they have the balance fairly right.     
    • I agree Scott has always been a good standalone presenter, but always better when with someone. When chappers left the radio one show it felt a different show and Chris joining was what it needed and brought new life. for the format of the radio 2 show Scott’s show fits well with the station but again, there’s the huge gap between radio1 and 2 As been said already old radio2 listeners feel it now feels too young with latest changes, yet old radio1 listeners still feel radio 2 feels too old. The inbetween stage demographic of too old for radio 1 but too young for radio 2 is still not catered for radio 2 was left to grow old with its audience for too long and to change things up now feels to try and change a brand image the right thing to do is leave it as it is and cater for that 1.5 demographic which I’m sure the new proposed 00s and 10s station will do if approved. Problem is it’s so overdue that by the time it gets off the ground these listeners are already likely to be lost and the changing image of radio2 likely to lose what it stands for as a brand with the “it’s too young now “  moving to boom and the “ it still sounds old “ crowd not able to move with their favourite presenters like Scott so finding themself on capital a radio 1.5 would have been perfect for Scott and Chris, seems unlikely but this is why I think who branding of bbc radio needs a rethink if these new stations get off ground
    • Bank Holiday Monday Schedule 6am-10am: Arielle Free in for Greg 10am-2pm: Dean & Vicky (No Rickie, Melvin & Charlie) 2pm-6pm: Vick & Jamie (No Katie) 6pm onwards: As normal.
    • Dare I say they've sounded great this past week?  Very much gelling.  Maybe less pressure?  Seem to be having a genuinely good time and not forcing things.
    • I'm in the minority in my workplace, most of them love country music.  Me, the American, does not care for it.  That said, I haven't haaaaaated some of the country adjacent stuff that's been on the R1 playlist.  
    • The Eurovision semi finals are on from 8 to 10pm on Tuesday 7th and Thursday 9th May with Richie Anderson. That means Sara Cox in on till 8 on those days.  Saturday 11th May is Eurovision 'Super Saturday... 1-3pm Your Ultimate Abba song with Gary Davies  3-6pm Michelle Visage's Eurovision All Stars 6-8pm Eurovision Request Party with Owain Wynn Evans 8pm Eurovision Grand Final with Scott Mills and Rylan Clark  
    • It is funny because everyone thought Matt was on the way out, now he's been described as the heir to Mills.
    • Some similar names to Big Weekend.  Sabrina Carpenter, David Guetta, Perrie, Bradley Simpson, Jax Jones, Caity Baser, Benson Boone, Rudimental. David Guetta is a good name. 
    • Still Scott for me. I'm not too much into the 70s and 80s radio 2 play but do love the injection of 90s and 00s. Then Radio 2 push for all this country stuff and it not a UK thing, and I frankly don't like it. Scott's show as in features, hit and miss. I like the music police bit, but it feels like someone needs to join him. It's a shame Chappers is so busy with sports, as it feels like it could do with someone like him jumping on to help. Or a new partner. Radio 1, take or leave. Matt and Mollie are OK from what I've heard and share a good connection, but it's the playlist that throws me off. They could bring back Chris Moyles to do that show, but as soon as something like Headie One comes on with that casino keyboard produced crap. It would still be switched off from me. 
    • Reading through this thread, I don't feel quite so alone now, in thinking that Scott Mills on R2 is not a good 'fit' (even less so than on R5).  I can't quite explain why this is so - I just know it to be so.
    • Arielle has been on holiday for the last 2 weeks getting married / honeymoon.  It'll be live from this week onwards.
    • CassKidd is in for Sian on Sunday 5th May.
    • The brought to tiers feature was also very good from them. I did wonder which DJ's were going to get picked out of the hat, that could have gone one way or the other and the caller said they were very opinionated lol. Correct decision putting katie in god tier!
    • The extended Dua Lipa track from M&M was very funny. I'm hoping Matt and Mollie and Scott have a good relationship a bit like Greg and Zoe collaborate on-air sometimes.
