2-1 BORO

The BIG match is on ITV4 at 18:30 in the UK.

lol are you watching the match ? Boro are getting absoutely battered , not a chance in hell.

Believe with me people

Not a good start but still early days.

0-1 already

Steffi? As in Steffi Graf? Graf --> Laugh...?

Well the way they played against us in the 2nd half at SB they do have a chance of grinding out a draw, if only a small chance. KO 1-30pm You better believe

Thanks...I had a feeling it might have something to do with the Cockney rhyming slang...which is a total mystery to me. How do people know what they're talking about when it seems like no word means what it's definition is in the dictionary. Your having a Steffi ?

courage ("he's got some bottle") (slang) (US: moxie) to fail to do something through fear ("he's bottled out", "he bottled it") (slang, from Cockney rhyming slang "bottle of beer" = "fear") to attack somebody with a broken bottle (slang) Give it some bottle = put some effort into it

*bump* Official.... Ars HAVE bottled it !

Maybe not lucky, but we certainly havnt got there by playing good football, just solid stuff, were going to need more than that for some of these final games.

Indeed i would settle for that 11, if the full backs stay forward. Thought you'd like that formation Mod. We all know were lucky to be where we are in the league and in Europe after the season we have had with injuries and sh*t poor form, i would even go so far as to say that we do not deserve to win anything. Avram has the chance to turn the season round in the last 9 games. Possible games are a tough trip to Everton 72 hours after our away game at Wigan. A resurgent Newcastle away. Man utd (maybe twice) or could be Barca, or either of Liverpool or Arsenal. Tough games to win the way were playing at the moment.

Without doubt Liverpool, that way we would need to beat Liverpool and Man utd/Barcelona to win the CL, all past winners, making our victory all the more sweet. Plus the law of averages says, WE STILL OWE THEM !

Yep Chippy bang on ! Thats his secret weapon, he is so good at making those runs away from goal, pulling out defenders, see the 2nd goal against Ars for prime example.

Grant should throw caution to the wind, were hanging on with a chance of winning the 2 biggest club trophies in Europe, but only by our fingernails. He needs to get radical and show us this "new beautiful football". Go for it with a 3-4-3 formation and scare the sh*t out of the Turks. It's radical, but easily changed to 4-3-3 with 1 substitution (Alex for Bridge LB, Essien to RB) -----------Cech/Carlo----------- -----Carvalho--Terry--Alex------ Essien--Ballack--Lampard--J.Cole -------------Kalou-------------- -------Drogba----Anelka-------- Subs: Goalie,A.Cole,Bridge,Mikel,Maka,SWP,Sheva. Imo we need to score 3 goals in 90 mins, and the players should go onto the pitch believing this.

Yeah about an hour into the game he got caught offside about 4 times in a 5-10 minute spell.

Anelka, Kalou and Essien. I went for Kalou, a striker that scores !

May i sugget next match you allow 2 selections per vote, i.e. 2-0 and 4-1, this will give you a better chance of other results being voted for, instead of 2-1 or 1-0 every week, which currently have between them 53% of the votes. May be worth a try ?

Did the bloke watch the same 2nd half as us on Wednesday? "But I prefer what happened on Wednesday"

Wid u ! Could do with sticking with them for a few games now, this team should work well if given half a chance to work together from the kick off, especially away from home.

I'd like to see us do something for another cause, besides the site. Couldnt we club together and send loz over to South America, he could tour the continent looking for new talent, then sign them up to the newly formed club theshenendforumF.C, then bring them back to Cobham for Roman to or for a nominal fee.

Whats disappointing is watching a manager with no character or meaning, the best managers have the biggest loudest characters, then you look at Avram

I think your source is correct just. I think the powerful style of English football has embraced foreign players and managers, and in turn these players and managers have enhanced the English leagues. You really do feel a foreigner in Italy, you have to live, work and play the Italian way, but the UK is a fully globalised nation, foreingers are allowed to be foreigners.
