Title: First Game of the Season! Post by: Rooky9 on August 19, 2006, 10:04:04 AM Well even though we had the World Cup this summer there is really nothing like putting your shirt on and heading off to watch your team. I even took to going to watch one of my mates teams play a couple of times! I am actually really looking forward to today, I can only make half the games before Christmas and will miss most of the run in too, so the games I'm going to are going to be even better!
Anybody else off to watch any football today? Prediction: Newcastle 3 Wigan 0 (think we have won one of our last 8 openers, but think today should make it 2 of 9!)

(I'm not optimistic this season. :D) Title: Re: First Game of the Season! Post by: scotty2hatty on August 19, 2006, 10:42:58 AM Fancy a draw in that one. Get your cash on Blackburn today to soften the blow of not taking 3 points.
Title: Re: First Game of the Season! Post by: Acidmouse on August 19, 2006, 12:37:26 PM Off to Man utd game tommorow cant wait!
anyone got a bet for the weekend? Title: Re: First Game of the Season! Post by: matt674 on August 19, 2006, 02:23:12 PM Glad to see a precident being set for the start of a new seasons - it appears as though you can be awarded a penalty for being within 2 feet of an opponent in the box without actually touching him..
Either that or the ref is a liverpool fan................. Title: Re: First Game of the Season! Post by: Indestructable on August 19, 2006, 09:19:59 PM My tip for the season is Spurs..........
To go down. :D :D :D :D Title: Re: First Game of the Season! Post by: Nem on August 19, 2006, 09:42:45 PM My tip for the season is Spurs..........

Title: Re: First Game of the Season! Post by: Nem on August 19, 2006, 11:31:08 PM You will be below us after the result of your first game tomorrow...
Title: Re: First Game of the Season! Post by: Indestructable on August 20, 2006, 09:23:34 AM You never know we might scrape a 1-0 defeat, but I am going for 4-0 at the bookies.
Title: Re: First Game of the Season! Post by: Rooky9 on August 20, 2006, 12:55:07 PM How are we going to score 3 when we only have Ameobi up front? :blonde: (I'm not optimistic this season. :D) Scored one, created the other. Ameobi takes a lot of stick and is never going to get the goals like Shearer, but, if he carries on as he has done under Roeder is warrents his place in a top 7 side - if we want anything more than being a top 7 side then we do need another first choice pair and use him in rotation. Edit: Forgot about Michael Owen! Mido would be good with him, not sure about Shola nad Mido as a combination thou! I'm blaming the rain for my prediction beingf wrong! Charles N'Zogbia is going to be a big big thing in football, I'm talking top three in the world sort of class - wonder how long he will be with us then! Title: Re: First Game of the Season! Post by: Karabiner on August 20, 2006, 02:22:32 PM You will be below us after the result of your first game tomorrow... Have you asked for the Bolton game to be replayed then ? ;) Title: Re: First Game of the Season! Post by: Colchester Kev on August 20, 2006, 02:33:03 PM LOL I wondered how long it would be .....
still fair play Ralph, Drawing with Villa in the very first game of the season in a brand spanking new stadium is a result for you ... I mean look at all the new faces that M.O'Neill has brought in to strengthen a team that were in freefall last season ... Oh no hang on .... that was the same shower that O'Leary assembled ... Congrats on your point :) Title: Re: First Game of the Season! Post by: Horneris on August 20, 2006, 02:37:18 PM Off to Man utd game tommorow cant wait! anyone got a bet for the weekend? I thought you were a Leeds fan!!! Not a Scummer! Title: Re: First Game of the Season!

My wife is scum fan and got free tickets :) Title: Re: First Game of the Season! Post by: Horneris on August 20, 2006, 06:35:06 PM hmmm. I guess ill let you off. lol. As long as you didnt celebrate the 5 goals.
Not a bad game though. Title: Re: First Game of the Season! Post by: Acidmouse on August 20, 2006, 09:11:57 PM I was eating my prawn sandwiches :)
Title: Re: First Game of the Season! Post by: Indestructable on August 20, 2006, 09:13:02 PM You never know we might scrape a 1-0 defeat, but I am going for 4-0 at the bookies. Don't believe it I actually bet on the 4-0 only for the last goal to be disallowed. Got to be honest and say that we were poor and very little to think positive about. it is going to be a long season. Title: Re: First Game of the Season!

Title: Re: First Game of the Season! Post by: Colchester Kev on August 22, 2006, 08:15:15 PM Away at Bolton first game of the season has gotta be a fixture that most teams would prefer to avoid, Big Sam is a master at getting his team fired up and playing for each other ( which is why i was so vocal in my support for him to be next England manager)
Lets just say that the Goons from cashburden grove have more reason to be dissapppointed at their result, i wish we could play villa every week :) Title: Re: First Game of the Season! Post by: Indestructable on August 22, 2006, 08:59:54 PM Try being away to Chelsea!
I am cheering on berbatov as we speak for my fantasy team. :D Title: Re: First Game of the Season! Post by: Indestructable on August 23, 2006, 07:42:46 AM Kev,
Do you know why Staltieri isn't playing? I ploughed a fair amount of money in buying him in in a fantasy auction but he hasn't played in either of the two games. Should I dump him or wait and see? I can transfer out next Thursday so have this weekend as well to keep an eye on this if needed. |
