Do you ever hear Leeds fans talk about their sole season in the CL?
― James Mitchell, Thursday, 10 March 2011 10:49 (thirteen years ago) link
real talk, but tbf we're not in danger of total collapse either
― Achillean Heel (darraghmac), Thursday, 10 March 2011 11:09 (thirteen years ago) link
I think Leeds fans might have mentioned it once or twice in that season and the couple that followed it. They got to the semi-finals FFS.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 10 March 2011 12:26 (thirteen years ago) link
Also Leeds were in the first Champions League in 92-93 as well.
if I were a Leeds fan it's all I'd talk about

leeds were quite good.

Think going "we were in the Champions League" might have lost its lustre somewhere between financial meltdown and their second relegation.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 10 March 2011 15:24 (thirteen years ago) link
Actually hope we go out to Copenhagen rather than potentially play Spurs, my most hated club, at any point in the Champions League, my most hated competition.

yeah i'll second that
I'd take any draw over playing utd or chelsea. Barca in a cl qf is not my idea of a worst-case scenario

Want Real. Never played them at the Bridge.
Grudgingly have to accept that Spurs were very decent in the second half, but fortunate to be playing Ibrahamovic, who takes the worst elements of both Berbatov and Bendtnar.
I have absolutely no idea what this means, insinuates, implies or infers.
― isn't house rubbish and Pete W mental (Pete W), Thursday, 10 March 2011 16:47 (thirteen years ago) link
as in, yr post is mental
altho parsing the elements
hoping u lose to copenhagen = pretty far out challops but dmac goes there often enough
rather than play tottnham = as in play a lesser team at a time when you are possibly 'in a good moment' (c) ancelotti and in a game in which tottenham lose their main asset in the cl, ie foreign teams aren't used to playing them
most hated competition = yeah well enjoy the uefa cup
― maxwell's silva hamartia (nakhchivan), Thursday, 10 March 2011 16:54 (thirteen years ago) link
I'm a pessimist. I always assume we will get beaten so before any cup draw I don't think, 'Who are we most likely to beat', I think 'Who would I least mind losing to'. Have done this for as long as I recall.
How do other people approach cup draws? Do Spurs fans ever WANT to draw Arsenal in the FA Cup? And vice versa?
I miss the ECWC.
― isn't house rubbish and Pete W mental (Pete W), Thursday, 10 March 2011 17:03 (thirteen years ago) link
Spurs fans fucking LOVE playing Arsenal in cups. If we lose, no one expects us to win, if we win, they get enormously pissed off and we can crow about it for the rest of the season.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 10 March 2011 17:04 (thirteen years ago) link
United are the team we hate playing in knockout football, for the obvious reason that we always lose to them.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 10 March 2011 17:05 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, I remember getting Spurs in the RUMBELOWS CUP in 1991 and being quite pleased for a similar reason. You had Gazza and Lineker and were favourites, but we won and won well. (Was thinking about this game last night listening to Andy Townsend and thinking how great he was at WHL that night and what a cock he is now.)
I think even when we used to draw Arsenal a lot in the 90s I quite enjoyed it, even though we always lost, because I expected us to lose and there was always a slim chance that we wouldn't.
It's probably a hangover from the 5-1, but also the expectation that has come from the last few years which makes defeat appear to be so much more humiliating than it used to be.
― isn't house rubbish and Pete W mental (Pete W), Thursday, 10 March 2011 17:11 (thirteen years ago) link
I know Arsenal friends hate drawing Spurs for the same reason. How do Liverpool feel about getting United?
― isn't house rubbish and Pete W mental (Pete W), Thursday, 10 March 2011 17:13 (thirteen years ago) link
But this isn't just me - every chelsea fan I know and others on twitter and web are bricking themselves about getting Spurs. Some are saying they won't go to the Lane because they couldn't take losing. *winning mentality*
― isn't house rubbish and Pete W mental (Pete W), Thursday, 10 March 2011 17:15 (thirteen years ago) link
Re: cup draws, I always want United to get drawn away to a team they never usually play (say Rotherham or Bristol City or Northampton) to provide a bit of variety, or to get drawn at home against a hated rival so that the game means something. You risk being very pissed off if you lose, but them's the breaks. I can't stand home ties against clubs that we've played loads already but who don't really mean anything (e.g. Middlesbrough or Portsmouth or Aston Villa).
― WAYNE ROONEY ELBOW STORM (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Thursday, 10 March 2011 17:21 (thirteen years ago) link
Can we draw another English club in the quarters? I always forget how these things work.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 10 March 2011 17:23 (thirteen years ago) link
I think so. I think you can get anyone next time, and they draw it all the way to the final.

Ramon Ramon! Ramon Ramon! Ramon Ramon Raaamon VEGA! is on SoccerAM.
Zinged the fuck out of us when he left Celtic for Watford because they were "more ambitious". 18 games in Scotland and walked away with league, cup and league cup medals. Must be some kind of record. There seems to be no record on the Internet of him modelling in a silver mini-skirt.

some ridiculous rumours today. next year's lineup will look like this
gomesg johnson dawson terry balelennon lampard modric j. colevan der vaartdrogba
― mizzell, Tuesday, 22 March 2011 18:57 (thirteen years ago) link
why would we sign cole, and nothing against lampard but that midfield doesnt work.
Terry is pretty unbeatable, but on his wages and at his age i'd rather not.
Drogba ditto
Bale at lb- there's a reason nobody called him one of the world's best when he played there.
Really, thats a massive expenditure for an improvement that is arguable at best. One class striker and one class cb, a better lb. Done.

king woodgate write-offsGallas not as good as has been painted, though vital this past while tbf. Not getting younger.
Have always liked kaboul. Bassong can be anywhere between great and a total nightmare. Both good second choice options.
Dawson pretty inarguably the future
Khumalo i dont know much about tbh.

interested to know whats happened all the midfield talent, yr obikas and the like, that came in in one tranche there a few years back.
― the '' key on my keybord is not working (darraghmac), Tuesday, 22 March 2011 19:50 (thirteen years ago) link
obika's a striker, iirc.you mean dean parrett and john bostock? they are both still 19, but have stalled recently it seems. harry kane seems to be best bet along with caulker.
― mizzell, Tuesday, 22 March 2011 19:56 (thirteen years ago) link
bostock looked a genuine prospect alright.
― the '' key on my keybord is not working (darraghmac), Tuesday, 22 March 2011 20:07 (thirteen years ago) link
dean parrett update
Midfielder Dean was making his home debut for Charlton against high-flying Southampton at the Valley, who took the lead through Radhi Jaidi on 64 minutes.
But Dean capped a Man of the Match display with a sublime chipped through-ball for Bradley Wright-Phillips to equalise four minutes from time.
The 19-year-old was substituted and replaced by former Spur Gary Doherty soon after to a great ovation from the Charlton faithful.
― mizzell, Wednesday, 23 March 2011 13:58 (thirteen years ago) link
I would quite happily take the Drog for one season and that's the only one of those three Chelsea strikers that's even remotely plausible, and even then so not gonna happen.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 23 March 2011 18:51 (thirteen years ago) link
Three Chelsea signings even.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 23 March 2011 18:52 (thirteen years ago) link
how much would one season of drog cost?
How many games would he play?
L king, but up front, twice as pricey, and disruptive.
