Oh my god, I got back here last week and there is only one football thread and that is about fantasy football.

I will let my friend tell you how she feels about that





You can see she is not happy so COME ON who is going to win the Premiership, will England qualify for the World Cup. How well will your team do here.........Otherwise I will release the Delia.

Ok, I have adopted a team this year from Division two.....Rotherham. Points deduction and in need of support. So I will be giving you a blow by blow account when I can of Rotherham United. COME ON!! as well as a news round up of all the footie news.

To start with......Diego Tristan has signed for West Ham, the first signing for Gianfranco Zola(one to remember for Quiz Night.

Re: Football, Football, Football oh my god THIS IS THE FOOTBALL THREAD

I will just say "The Stars in Stripes". We are playing Man U even as I type. Can't watch it till later cos son doesn't finish work till 6.30. Am recording on Setanta and we will watch when he gets here. Have imposed a news and redio blackout since 5.30 lol. Even had to listen to Radio 1 in the car when I went to put the lottery on just, I knew there was no way Radio One would be announcing the footie scores....

Re: Football, Football, Football oh my god THIS IS THE FOOTBALL THREAD

Very disappointed at the Rotherham result. Barnet had a player sent off and they missed the penalty. And worst of all they conceded goals to go 4:1 down before valiantly coming back yet still lose 4:3. Very diappointed Rotherham fan!!

Re: Football, Football, Football oh my god THIS IS THE FOOTBALL THREAD

Well what can I say about todays games? (many swear words from me but not because of the results necessarily). 9 minutes of Injury time in the Tottenham game, two players red card for them and they are ROCK BOTTOM.
Hull though are back to third in the Premier League....WTF is going on?
This is a crazy crazy season.......
Onto The Championship...Wolves and Birmingham appear to be clear in the top two positions early on and Nottingham Forest are rock bottom and seem to be in trouble.
In Division One....teams relegated last season are front runners with Scunthorpe and Leicester in pole position. Hereford are bottom but one win could get them out of the relegation zone.
In Division two...the question really is whether Luton Bournemouth and Rotherham will claw back their points deduction. Luton had 30 points deducted, Bournemouth had 17 points deducted and Rotherham 15 points. the bottom of the table is fairly clear. Luton WILL be relegated. Bournemouth COULD be relegated and Rotherham might be title contenders without the points deduction. All those teams would be mid table and Grimsby and Morecambe would be in trouble at the bottom. At the top it is very close in the top 6 with one win separating Wycombe from Bradford.

Re: Football, Football, Football oh my god THIS IS THE FOOTBALL THREAD

Well, its half time in the football today so time for a quick recap, and apologies to Pkea for this one, Newcastle down to 10 men and playing against a revived Man City with Ronald(whatsaname) and they get a draw 2:2.
Rotherham this evening are currently 2:1 up at Bury. In the Champs League, Arsenal are winning 3:1 in Fenerbahce(what is going on there). Man Utd are 1:0 up against Celtic in what is being styled the Battle Of Britain.
In the Championship Nottingham Forest have the lead. More info may follow later or tomorrow.
And I am sticking with Rotherham(COME ON!!)
