There was a film/novel about that season. "Fever Pitch" about a young boy from Reading who is obsessed with Arsenal football. It costs him relationships, friendships, etc. The film ends with that match and the 1989 league championship for Arsenal. Later adapted into an American film with the same name with the guy obsessed with Boston Red Sox baseball.
The first goal for stoke was controversial. Walters ran into the big redheaded keeper when he had the ball and it went in. Anyone see the arsenal highlights. Some of the worst goal keeping you will ever see at this level by WBA's back up keeper (Foster was injured.) All three Arsenal goals came on atrocious goal keeping mistakes. ld:
Ruud Van Nistlerooy has announced his retirement from football. 589 club games scoring 347 goals and 35 goals in 70 International games.
I can live with not getting anything out of the game, as long as we survived. I would have bitten off your right arm for yesterdays results beforehand. I look on it as payback for Ashley Young and the sheer arrogance of United, none of those fucks were giving us a prayer beforehand anyway, Neville called us a "non-entity". Fuck em.
Jimmy, who would you say has been our player of the season? Between Lionel Mackie and Super Paddy Kenny for me. Faurlin would have probably taken it if he hadn't got injured.
I'm far happier we survived rather than the result. I fucking hate United and their fake fans. Just watch from now and see the amount of Citeh shirts popping up in pubs around us.
I'd go with Jamie, with Paddy a close second and Hill third. I really hope we keep Taarabt & Faurlin. If Faurlin had not of been injured, I believe we wouldn't have been in that situation. We were missing his brilliance in midfield.
Linekar at Barton: "Still raging then? Still kicking out? And still, presumably, misunderstood? But only by yourself I suspect." Barton at Linekar: "Do u wanna go there publicly, Mr Squeaky Clean?" "Now back under your stone you odious little toad" Barton also ranted at Shearer.
Lineker is full of shit. Tevez did start it and Barton was very restrained up until somebody on the City side kicked it off again. All Barton did to Tevez was give Tevez what he offered Barton. I don't like Barton but he's this easy target too. I mean Balotelli is a moron but he's some sort of an accepted moron. Who makes the rules?
Seems like an alright guy. This is perfectly acceptable behaviour from a top athlete. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/w897VuJfXQI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I've done worse frankly. We don't know the lead up to that, some people deserve a smack around the mouth.
Barton can't punch for shit. <object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/m1x2fi3K4BA?version=3&feature=player_detailpage"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/m1x2fi3K4BA?version=3&feature=player_detailpage" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="360"></object>
I missed the good old days before facebook and twitter wars. When if you wanted to fight somebody, you had to challenge them at awards shows. Real hard men back then! <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Mn2Kh35G420" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
