Official Premiership 2008/09 thread

[alldaws1]

You haven't been in the Uefa Cup for a while, though, there's always going to be questions about how far the squad can go without that experience whereas Spurs have been in it for three straight seasons and have had a fair bit of cup success recently. I don't know how they got Man City over Villa, though

[Summers]

I understand Spurs behing ahead - due to the 'past seasons in Europe' thing. The City bit is annoying.

[alldaws1]

But they have Robinho and an endless supply of cash, that trumps everything!

[Summers]

Breaking news.

Robinho appaz.

[Dont Fear The Reaper]

This season is absolutely fantastic, especially in the releagation zone with so few points seperating a good 8-10 teams. Its going to be really interseting towards the end of the season.

[METALMAN]

Oooh. Speak of the devil! This thread must be jinxed.

Maybe the next player mentioned here will be arrested for rape!

Aidan McGeady.

Breaking news.

Aiden McGeady, appaz.

Nah, still Robinho.

[Clawson]

Nothing fazes me anymore when it comes to City.

[King Ellis]

That fine got him so mad he felt like raping huh?

Still, those front pages of tommorows papers (lol, off topic) underlines me view that the Express is way worse than the Mail for ' immigrants!'. Not that the Mail's isn't too shabby itself. 'Old couple can't look after heroin addict daughters kids so they've given to gay couple.'

HESKEY

HESKEY

HESKEY IS ON FIRE

Literally.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Anyway, I see that Bale was dropped to the bench for our victory

[Crybaby Bunting]

So far this season we've seen:

Joey Barton doing time in jail for assault

Luke somethingorother killing a family of people in a car crash

Steven Gerrard getting arrested over assault

A player questioned by police over a car crash that happened on Christmas day

and now Robinho questioned over a sexual assault

Seems to be a very unlucky year for footballers... mostly footballers who are twats though >_>

What next? Rooney getting convicted of the Sussex murders?

[alldaws1]

Tottenham: Cudicini, Corluka, Dawson, Woodgate, Assou-Ekotto, Lennon (Huddlestone 90), Zokora, Modric, Bentley, Pavlyuchenko (Campbell 90), Defoe.

Subs Not Used: Alnwick, Bale, Taarabt, Rocha, Giovani.

= win.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Harry should have brought on Bale in the 91st minute. True it would have ended 3-2 but still....

Thank fuck for that. The FA Cup being on ITV and Setanta is bad enough.

[King Ellis]

Yeah, having MotD2 on iPlayer is cool too.

[IAceI]

Apparently Given hasn't traveled for the match with Manchester City because of injury?

Even the newsreader struggled to keep a straight face with that one when he read it out.

[METALMAN]

It's true you know.

[King Ellis]

Is this the same kind of injury that Rio and Rooney get when England are playing a friendly?

[IAceI]

I think they're worried he might actually sign the contract on the field and just defect there and then, so they aren't taking any risks. That and he's obviously actually injured I bet ¬_¬
