The 2015-16 World Fitba Thread!

In one of the documentaries on the break up of the Smiths you can see a very dirty side to Morrissey. He and Johnny Marr had a good relationship in that they were bandmates and that they were in awe of each other's talents. It's like they were each other's hero. However, where Marr also respected the other two members of the Smiths (bassist Andy Rourke and drummer Mike Joyce) it is clear that Morrissey basically thought of them only as he and Marr's helpers. He arranged things so that only his and Marr's names were on the record contract. Marr has even confessed that it wasn't the record company or his ideas. Morrissey did that. And he did not have the balls to directly deal with Rourke and Joyce so used Marr and his relationship with the other two as a shield to keep the other's down.

He only paid them 10% each (While he and Marr got 40% each) of the earnings. And now he has wished death on Mike Joyce for suing the band for more of a cut.

 

Charlie Adam's sister's pants are the best,
You can smell them from the east to the west,
They are better when soiled and damp,
Charlie Adam's sister's PANTS!!

One of the weirder away day chants. All the more so because Charlie Adam had no sister ::

 

I doubt any admirer of morrissey would cite people skills among his gifts, but....Morrissey and Marr were the song writers and entire creative basis of the band. In itself the split doesn't seem completely egregious. I wonder how much noel gave 'Bonehead' and 'Guigsy' or whatever the other two were called.

 

Well, they didn't end up in court suing him.

I am a Morrrissey person so relax. He just tends to burn bridges.

 

Burnley-Spurs had the makings of a great game but it's dull with just over half an hour gone.

 

Super Bobby.

 

Zamora now has three premier league goals this season, Welbeck has four.

 

Real won 9-1.
Ronaldo scored five (three in eight minutes).

 

Didnt mean to sound un-relaxed, sorry. I had to work this morning, maybe i was grumpy

 

Arsenal and Palace like this.:like:

 

But you WANTED to work right...:dunno:

 

Was it Chris Rock who made the distinction between people with 'careers' and people with 'jobs'? People with jobs never 'want' to work

??

That went over my head.

 

I might be having a brain freeze here but I thought when the FA Cup semifinals were on, there were no other matches being played. I know that's the case for the final (as well as the League Cup final.)

On 18 April, Arsenal-Reading are kicking off at 5:20 pm at Wembley and Chelsea and Man U are kicking off at 5:30 pm at the Bridge. That doesn't seem right.

There are matches the next day during the second semi as well.

 

Pretty crap premiership season, innit. A thrilling race between Liverpool and Spurs for 5th!!!! Hull or Burnley!!! which deindustrialized marescape will megarich Prem players still be forced to visit next year?

 

Yeah it's been pretty bland. Shit seasons directly following good ones seems to be a trend I've noticed actually.

 

Standard is pathetic. Shit teams chasing each other. Fucking shite.

MTF

 

Can I just say, Charlie Austin brought his tally up to 16 and still can't get a look in for the England squad, guarantee Welbeck will play too. It's a fucking joke. It's not even a tough group, you can experiment, give the guy a chance.

 

Newcastle are a fucking travesty, terrible shame for such a well-loved club. It's just a zombie club, normally I wouldn't suggest a boycott by the fans because its a league full of tyrants and vulture capitalists anyway, but the cynicism and hopelessness of what's happening every week in that stadium is just rotten.

 

Empty your inbox there boss.

 

:: If Danny Wellbeck is ever stabbed to death I will be ringing the Met and giving them your details.

 

I am heading to England in nine days and still trying to stay hyped about the Prem. Its not the most exciting season. The excitement may come from the bottom of the table in the relegation race. The teams at the bottom have woken up the last two weeks. Sunderland moved up to 15th. If Villa end up getting relegated, Jeremy Kyle can go back to hosting his talk show because he's finished as a manager.

It looks like the Europa League spots are determined. Liverpool, Spurs, and Southampton. Unless Villa, Reading, or Blackburn can pull off the FA Cup title (the runner up does NOT get a spot this year. I stated that, then erroneously corrected it, now I'm correcting it again.)

And as for the title race. As I stated before, Chelsea has Man U and Arsenal in back to back weeks (18 Apr and 26 Apr.) If they get two wins that's the title wrapped up. Two losses puts them in a real four team race to the title with four matches left. That could be exciting even if you hate all four clubs. I predict they'll get a win and a draw there and maintain a small lead over the other three. The last couple of times I've watched Chelsea play they haven't looked good.

 

He does fucking look like Jeremy Kyle now that you mention it ::

 

:: I can't stand the guy mate, he's an awful player

 

Bournemouth and Brentford may both be playing premier league football next season. That would be crazy.

 

I've been calling him that since he started managing Spurs.

 

3 goals in 8-9 minutes

 

It happened to us in 2013 at Goodison against Roberto Martinez's Wigan (FA Cup quarterfinals.)

That game probably saved me a bunch of money and the headache of trying to get into Wembley. Instead I had a nice cozy, inexpensive seat to watch us beat QPR and then off to the pub to laugh at Millwall fans fighting each other and the coppers on TV.

 

Scoattish Championship has been exciting... Hearts are champions awready, hooever, Rangers beat 'em fer the first time this season putting us 2nd in the League (no gaurantee o' promotion, mind). The season so far has seen 3 different managers, complete change o' Board, kicked oot o' the Stock Market, protests, protestantism, Lee McCulloch's elbows, cup shamings, Mike Ashley loans etc.

Anyhoo, if League fitba is no' fer Ye, perhaps the International scene will get yer blood going...
