THE FOOTBALL THREAD Vol 2

i miss seaman! he was damn reliable until he got a little old.

what bothers me is why people think he sucks, when in reality he's not the first keeper in the world to struggle with high balls and lobs.
 
Hope wenger will play more attacking tactics in CL 2nd round.

1st round manures could have wrapped up the tie but thanks to Almunia, they only manage to score 1 goal!

Almunia for England? :mrgreen:

ahem England DONT DESERVE ALMUNIA
 
wah like that you win liao. arsenal's umbro and adidas shirts all you have. i only start getting during nike's line of jerseys... well thats when im officially a gooner. :D

dun wori bro - its not when but as long as U stay true to 1 club ....
 
The thing is all great keepers suffer in their twilight years .... even the gret Pat Jennings, Peter Shilton, Ray Clemence etc all the same.

I remember the great things Seamen did much better than his bloops & blunders
 
Keeper can make a dozen saves in a game and let in one stupid goal that cost his team the game, he will be remembered for that stupid goal!

Striker can miss a dozen penalty and score the goal that win his team the title/trophy, he will become legend!!

Life of a keeper :mrgreen:
 
eXACTLY - SO THATS WHY WE MUST ALWAYS REMEMBER THE GOOD THINGS A KEEPER DID ..

VIVA LA SEAMAN:mrgreen:
 
Hey FGL, yeah, I'ma dudette indeed! And I'm far too sweet to declare war on all Liverpool, Chelsea & Arsenal supporters here on S.O.F.T. I'll just continue to enjoy the beautiful game. I sure as hell enjoyed the Spurs V Utd game and the Utd V Arsenal 1st leg match. Think I saw you at YelloJello about 3 wks ago too.

Eh FGL bro u 4got Nicklas Bendtner in the worst strikers section.

Y'know, when Arshavin got 'brought down', and he waved the finger at the ref to tell him it wasn't a penalty, i thought he might go and take the penalty hinself and blast it wide. But then again, he would have incurred the wrath of the Arsenal fans. So what does he do? He lets Bendtner take the penalty, next best option.
