i'll hold u to that! i'd like to see Pool up their with the big boys btw we beat tranmere last season to go to the play off finals! i was their - it was so nerve racking. sudden death penalties.... not a good thing lol.
HAHAHAHAA.....Pool have never been in Division 1 before? hilarious.... [/b][/quote] But still, they are small compared to most of the teams around them.
yeah if they got promoted it would be the highest division they have been in. it isnt as bad as it sounds, Hartlepool is only a small town and ou stadium can only hold 7,500 people. so as a club we are over performing if anything! trust me - us 'poolies' used to watch some crap on a saturday. but now we have the makings of a good solid team. last year for example we played sunderland and they only managed to best us 1-0 (a penalty at that) in the FA Cup. in the newspaper today i heard that we have 3 key players back from injury as well, Joel Porter, Mark Tinkler and Hugh Roberts. so things look like they might start falling our way and we could crank up some points. the difference this season is that we have a full squad of players, where as last year we had a 1st team and that was it. now we can feild a really decent side as well as having some decent subs on the bench. next tuesday we will be playing a team called Darlington, this is our local darby match - 'we have Darlo' is sang at every match even though we arent in their league anymore. should be fun. i'll give you a match report when the time comes.
All I can really say is that Villa controlled the game against Bolton, except from setplays where they had some decent chances. But that's the way they play, I suppose. Steve Davis and Kevin Phillips were great, and Jloyd Samuel and Thomas Sorensen seem to have started to get back to their best.
Three words: Sven Goran Eriksson. He doesn't have the required motivation skills, and he wouldn't dare drop players such as James, Lampard and Beckham, who are usually pretty good for their clubs but were awful yesterday. The irony is, the last time I saw England play to their potential with him as manager was when they beat Denmark in the last world cup. Oh, I suppose it could be worse. I could live with my dad which would mean having to support Scotland.

heh......england totally screwed up.....even old Nigel Martyn is better then calamity James....why the hell did Sven even pick James for! [/b][/quote] James is good...but only when he plays for Man City.I feel sorry for him though because it wasn't all his fault,Ashley Cole was the only fucking defender trying to prevent the first goal,I dunno what the hell happened with the second goal though,Ashley Cole should of at least treid to get in the way of the goal.The third goal I'd like to know what Joe Cole was trying to accomplish but fourth goal I will say that James was at fault.
i'm finally in the school soccer tem!.... this is the first time our school's got soccer...lame ass school!
I never usually bother trying out for school teams, but I'm a good keeper... no, really. [/b][/quote] i play in goal to. i was always 1st choice goalie in our school team until i let 9 goals in, in one match. (i saved a penalty though) and well done freakolp - i used to love playing for my school and college
we're just starting off. today was second day of football coaching. i'm the only one who can do a header. everyone else thinks it hurts too much. they'll get used to it, hopefully. on the first day, i nearly broke my nose. the coach hit me in the face with a flying ball kick when i was talking to a pal. he hit me once more today. he thinks it's funny. i'll show him someday. but he's a cool guy. i suck at dribbling and just started getting the hang of it today. i would really appreciate some tips. i'm also opting for goal keeper and tips on that would be great too! thanks.
Holland really fucking owned Germany in the first 45 minutes. After that, it went downhill Cant believe they got back at 2-2.
Germany never give up Holland have lost their former glory and I feel sorry for them because they're a really fucking good team and yet they fuck up when it gets to world cups and European cups.
When in goal, try crouching down with your legs bent forward and spread them a bit, and focus your weight more onto your heels. That makes it a lot easier to save low.
^^cool dude...thanks^^ i just read the first pgae of this thread....i'm so with hellflame... anti man utd. and pro arsenal!
