2014/15 Football Season
- Thread starter semiphonic
- Start Date
Well we got a point! The journey home was a lot better than it might have been. When we stop to eat at services on the way home we always give the players scores out of 10. Chambers was the only one to get 3 sevens, so he was our Arsenal man of the match. I haven't seen MOTD yet, surely Everton's 2nd goal was offside? Referee was bad and so were Arsenal, still the singing was good. Come on Ozil you need to do more and is Debuchy really a full back? My husband said that even I could beat Giroud in a sprint lol. One really good thing is that I am no longer turned into a frightened wreck thinking that I am going to be injured again when Arsenal score. Yesterday I was jumping up and down with the rest of them and wasn't scared when people were pushed into me. Lots of hugs from those around us too, so let's forget the first 80 minutes and call it a great game.
Got back to the car and switched radio on, they were talking about Leeds losing 4-1 at Watford and saying that Hockaday should never have been appointed manager......well yes, this was painfully obvious to some of us from day 1! Still at least Forest Green got a point at Aldershot on Friday evening and are still 2nd in the Conference.

Morning Zand, glad you enjoyed the Everton/Arsenal game, my partners a season ticket holder at Everton and he came home very grumpy last night! He's still going to watch it all over again on telly this morning though. I sometimes go with him to the away games (went to Leicester last week) but having a frozen shoulder am left quaking when Everton score. I have to but my hand over my shoulder and duck down with the hope that I won't get jumped on - I still enjoy it though! Good luck to Arsenal.in the Champions league this week
Morning, thank you!. I have to say Everton outplayed Arsenal for 80 minutes, so we were overjoyed at the result. Yes there were a lot of grumpy Everton fans walking away from the ground! Our singing was good though, and I have a husky voice this morning. Looking forward to Leicester now. Oh, yes Besiktas......getting nervous already.Morning Zand, glad you enjoyed the Everton/Arsenal game, my partners a season ticket holder at Everton and he came home very grumpy last night!

I cant recall any team lasting a whole season without winning a single match you are talking about 46 matches in a season thats an awful lot of matches in which to at least win a small handful.I dont think anyone has every finished a season on Nil points.Theres been quite a few had points deducted for one thing and another but even them have managed to get some + points.I dont quite know whats happening at Blackpool they dont seem to be doing much as yet do they.Early days yet still 42 matches to play.

Hang on a mo we(Huddersfield) did very well to hang on to our lead we did loose a man you know at the start of the 2nd half.I dont think any of of our fans could have faulted the performance other than getting a man sent off something that should never happen.Once you get a yellow common sense says be careful.

Yep Leeds are very disalusioned with Hockday and want him out.
I bet Fulham are pig sick too and wont be too long before they too sack a manager.
We still have to appoint a new manager and theres a lot of speculation flying round as to who it will be.Strong contender is Alex Mc Cleish oops cant spell that name.Bookies make him a firm favorite.Who ever gets the job Deano will be backing him but at the same time he wants a good return on his money which of late hes not been getting since Simon Grayson got us promoted.I live in hope that we will find a good un and come out smelling of roses and power away from the bottom end of table.UTT
You only had one man sent off? Your world seems so much better than mine!

I have seen better at youth level!
The problem with utd is they have not got enough quality in key areas and are miles behind the other top clubs, there will be many agents waiting for the panic buys at the end of the transfer window.
The manger has also too many mid table premiership players that cannot gel together . Van Gall has huge problems getting a team together that can beat the other top clubs.
Four years ago, that would have been a bad result today!

@nosher8355 I did enjoy it very much. We walked 7 miles in total (from near the ground to the Everton 2, Liverpool 1 shop and back and around a bit) I also managed to run up the 42 steps to the upper tier. This is my fitness target for matches 1. run up any steps. 2. walk at least 3 miles during the day. It was my 4th visit to Goodison and we were upper tier again , which is much better than that silly lower tier arrangement. I wasn't frisked either because there were no women stewards at our entrance. Yes it was a lucky draw - very lucky!!! I think Everton is one of my favourite grounds to visit, especially now I've lost a couple of stones and can fit through the turnstile more easily!

yes I liked it, nice atmosphere (strange accents! - it was good to get safely into the away end and be able to understand what was being said). It's the first time I've been able to walk to the shops and back. No you didn't read it wrong, we went to both shops, including the modern shopping mall., Liverpool 1. Family have been there before but until I had my heart op I wasn't well enough to walk that sort of distance, (yes I know we could have taken a taxi, but it's not as good as walking there and back) We ate in Byron which was good 'cos I found something suitably low carb. Hubby pointed out the 'Littlewoods' statue outside Primark.

Ye wot? Your ear needs re-synching to get the gist that you are not in a foreign country. We have lots of statues planted everywhere around town nobody notices them! We have some great history and some horrendous history concerning our area. Lots of museums and tourist thingies and the nightlife is on the par of Newcastle! Some great theatre and restaurants and the top hotels as well! It is a lot cheaper than that there London!
The thing is when I tried listening to a couple of conversations to see if I could understand the accents, I got the gist of one of them quite quickly, then I realised that's because it was in French not Scouse.
Your Islington isn't as good as ours though! Seriously, we like Liverpool, always have, just don't get to go there unless it's for footie.
