Offical English Footy Discussion Thread

Hey all!
Good result for us yesterday, after Chelsea won again. Only saw the own goal so far...anyone tell me what Rooney's goal was like?

 

[Party Boy]

Didnt see Manchester derby yesterday. Have heard Rooneys goal got a deflection off Dunne, who then scored an own goal 7 minutes later!

Arsenal at home to Palace tonight - prediction - 3-1!

 

[Party Boy]

Good to see Rooney get booked (again!) yesterday alongside Keane. Are they having a competition to see who picks up most bookings this season!!?

 

[Aardvark747]

Looks that way! And Keano is the one who is trying to curb Wayne's temper!

that's sad in more ways then i can mention.

only saw bits of the derby on saunday. my roomie was watching corrie st and i could only check the score during comericals. one comerical it was 0 - 0 and next time i checked it was 2 - 0. i stopped checking after that.

and can you believe the sheer stupidlity of beattie? i am thankfully for it but still baffled.

 

[Aardvark747]

Beattie=Ridiculous

 

[Party Boy]

Its not often you get to see someone headbutt another player while he is running away. In the back of the head ... very strange!

I would probably have watched corrie st over watching Man U winning also....

Where are you living Sweet Tart? If it helps, I can find out all the plots for you for next three months so that you can then watch the football in peace, knowing you havent missed anything in Corrie...

what is Corrie St? Is this like Dream Team?

coronation street... a brit soap opera.

i live in canada. and thanks for the offer...i'll defiately think about that. but my roomie would still insist on me not ruining it for her so i still don't think it'll free the tv on sunday am's

Hey Miss Velvet, Coronation Street is a bit of an istitution here in the UK. Its been running since.. I think 1962 or something like that. Set in Manchester in the grim north - very working class!

 

[Sweet Tart]

i just started really following it recently cause of my roomie and what i find unusual is that there is very rarely a scene that at least one person doesn't have a drink in their hand.

my mom used to watch it when i lived at home but i never really got into it until now.

sorry about sidetracking the football thread into a corrie st thread.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

ohh.

 

[Party Boy]

5-1 to Arsenal last night! Great performance and result (despite it only being Palace...). keeps pressure on Man U for 2nd place!

 

[Party Boy]

Btw, you are right about Corrie St. Its the same for all soaps in the UK - central theme in each one is a pub where people seem to drink at any time of the day!

 

[Aardvark747]

And then (in the case of 'Enders, they take a trip to Pauline at the Laundry. As it seems that, even in 2005, no1 in Albert Square owns a washing machine!

Oh, and yeah - good result for the Gunners. Henry back with a couple too.

 

[Party Boy]

Very true! Clearly washing machines have yet to make an appearence in East London....

Thought you were talking about the Octagon Bar for a moment there!

[Tania]

Hey, if I had known this thread had diverged from Soccer to washing machines and pubs, I'd have been around a long time ago

 

[Party Boy]

Pubs go hand in hand with soccer! Few beers before hand, few sneaky beers at halftime and def. more beers after!!

Btw, my sister and her husband live in Perth - lovely part of the world!

i wish i could go to the pub and watch the game but the only bar near me (which is across the street) that i can watch the match is a manure pub.

Not today.... It's the middle of the night and still about 36 degrees C.

Where I work, there is a pub in front, behind and on either side of me. In fact, there is one pub to the left called Bunghole celler. I've seen some people go in but never come out.....

Man, thats as oppressive as a freezing cold winters day. Really dont know how you cope. Am off to Australia for 3 weeks in April - east coast - so am looking forward to some heat after coping with winter for the past 4-5 months here in Europe
