Re: Gert & TheBoy's Official VNA Soccer... err Football Thre

With hardly a gap between games over the festive period, it's been hard to find time to keep up with them all! With Premier League teams playing 3 games in a very short space of time, the action and events have been plentiful. We've had another managerial change with Hull sacking Mike Phelan and rep...

Re: Gert & TheBoy's Official VNA Soccer... err Football Thre

Haha, yes I think Poch must secretly follow me on Twitter :rofl: Walker created 5 chances last night which just goes to show the difference it makes to the team. My worry is that with Dembele injured for the game last night, what will Pochettino do for the Burnley game if he's back fit? I'm not conv...

Re: Gert & TheBoy's Official VNA Soccer... err Football Thre

Hardly time to take stock of the weekend's activity before another full round of fixtures starting last night and continuing tonight. As it turned out, Leicester couldn't take any momentum from the City destruction and whimpered to a pretty disastrous defeat to Bournemouth. I genuinely can't work ou...

Re: Gert & TheBoy's Official VNA Soccer... err Football Thre

I was looking at Rokkerr's team the other day and thinking I wouldn't mind having that squad... It's looking very strong especially the 'first choice' starting 11 and you've had Costa through a sublime patch. After a couple of pretty horrendous weeks, I have to be very happy with a return of 89 poin...

Re: Gert & TheBoy's Official VNA Soccer... err Football Thre

Sorry I haven't been active on here for a few weeks. November has turned into a very crappy month for several reasons, not least one in particular that I filled Gert in on so he knew what was going on (thanks again buddy for letting me talk with you!). Things are still not going very well and I don'...

Re: Gert & TheBoy's Official VNA Soccer... err Football Thre

I think Premier League defences must have gone on strike this weekend! Two teams in particular have stood out again this week, with Chelsea and Liverpool putting in the kind of performance that sends shock waves to the rest of the league. Since reverting to Antonio Conte's much preferred formation o...

Re: Gert & TheBoy's Official VNA Soccer... err Football Thre

So, has the pressure now passed from Jose, after his humiliating 4-0 hammering by Chelsea, to Pep after Mourinho sprung a win over City in the cup? City go without a win once again, concede once again and we are now hearing ripples amongst Aguero and Guardiola. The 1-0 win for Jose (could it have be...

Re: Gert & TheBoy's Official VNA Soccer... err Football Thre

Any tips on who to bring in this week Rokkerr! Diego Costa is starting to look like the essential striker to have right now and those who captained him this week did very well from him. My only hesitation is that I believe he's one yellow card away from a suspension, which surely can't be too far aw...

Re: Gert & TheBoy's Official VNA Soccer... err Football Thre

As much as I'd like to forget the recent international fortnight, let me sum up England's performance against Malta with a quote from someone on Twitter regarding Jordan Henderson's man of the match award: "Getting man of the match in a 2-0 win versus Malta... I wouldn't accept it". With a...

Re: Gert & TheBoy's Official VNA Soccer... err Football Thre

I had a bit of a shocking week - 4 midfielders getting me a massive 6 points between them lol. Still, I think last week was quite low scoring for most people so getting scores in the mid 50's really closed some gaps. My best laid plans of getting in a Liverpool midfielder even at a cost of -4 points...

Excellent post Gert - you almost sound more enthusiastic than me haha :D Image-108107.jpg You could certainly say I was a little excited yesterday afternoon! To say that result and performance was unexpected is underselling things just a little - quite frankly I feared the worst! Yes City were witho...

Sam Allardyce... What an idiot! :signhammer: You wait 10 years for the job you've craved and felt you deserved more than several previous occupiers... and then you throw it all away for 400 grand, a few pints of lager and the chance to show off. Unbelievable! Whilst Allardyce 'officially' did nothin...

Re: Gert & TheBoy's Official VNA Soccer... err Football Thre

There's one thing about Rooney that plays at the back of mind and I wonder if it links to his current situation... And that is going back to the end of the Ferguson era. Fergie more than any other manager perhaps in the entire world at that time was THE man at HIS club. Whatever Fergie wanted he got...

Re: Gert & TheBoy's Official VNA Soccer... err Football Thre

Make that three defeats for the arrogant Mancunians ! After the embarrassing defeat in Europe I think everyone expected United to bounce back against a Watford side who have been leaking goals like a sieve. Unfortunately, they did not expect to meet a determined Watford side who for large portions o...

Re: Gert & TheBoy's Official VNA Soccer... err Football Thre

Bitterly disappointed is something of an understatement after Spurs' first Champions League group game. A shade under 86,000 supporters packed out Wembley Stadium and created an unbelievable atmosphere. Unfortunately, the players did not respond to it and left us with a 2-1 defeat. Our early play lo...

Re: Gert & TheBoy's Official VNA Soccer... err Football Thre

I pretty much gave the International games a complete miss - a wise decision me thinks ;) I did watch most of the England game, but I almost didn't bother with the second half at all and then switched off entirely after about 75 minutes. The comments by Allardyce about Rooney were startling to say t...
