2011/12 Football Season chat (contains MOTD spoilers)

Gutted, especially after we looked a different team once Carroll came on. But 2-0 down, there was always a little too much to do, notwithstanding Cech's save to just stop an equaliser.

I'll be rooting for Blackpool in the play offs.

Looking forward to Bilbao against Madrid as well - might actually see a cup final with some half-decent football played!

Well, no top five finish for Chelsea and it looks like the Liverpool scoring 3 goals theory was correct.

... it looks like the Liverpool scoring 3 goals theory was correct.

So true!

(Well, they scored four goals but letting facts get in the way of anything much on this forum is a rarity so I'll go with the flow!)

EDIT:
A quick glance at the league table reveals Liverpool FC are now guaranteed to finish the season in the top half of the Premier League. The 'King' Kenny revolution continues apace!

[Liamh1982]

4-1 - absolutely bloody typical! Talk about after the Lord Mayor's show!

[greenberet79]

A thoroughly entertaining game. The highlight probably being john terry having a face off with The Kop and spitting onto the floor in front of it! Pantomime stuff from both sides!

If only all games were as open and attacking as that was.

So, a bloody awful season is almost over - but I know that one the Euro's are done I will be desperate to see my beloved team run out again in their world famous red, white and....er....dark blue home shirt.

Not even subtle about it are they

As an aside, I guess the inclusion of blue on the Arsenal shirts isn't the same as is happenign to Cardiff City/Dragons

The Malaysian owner of Championship side Cardiff City has angered fans by suggesting that the club scraps its famous blue kit in favour of red shirts, reports said Wednesday.

Cardiff -- known as the Bluebirds for their iconic blue shirts -- saw their hopes of promotion to the Premier League dashed by West Ham on Monday after defeat in the second leg of their play-off semi-final.

Owner Vincent Tan, a Malaysian tycoon of Chinese origin, is now considering changing Cardiff's strip to red, believing it to be a luckier colour, a report in The Sun said.

The paper also suggested the club was considering replacing the bluebird on its club crest with a dragon, which appears on the national flag of Wales and which in Chinese culture is considered a symbol of power, strength and luck, as is red.

The BBC quoted a spokesman for a Cardiff City supporters group as saying that a decision to change the colours and badge had already been taken.

To soften the blow, Tan's consortium has offered to invest ?100 million (124 million euros, $162,000) on players, a new training ground and stadium improvements, the report said.

"We were told in no uncertain terms that this was a fait accompli," said supporters chief Tim Hartley following a meeting with Bluebirds chief executive Alan Whiteley.

"This investment is going to come into the club. We were shown a design of the logo, Cardiff City will be playing in red, they will be wearing a dragon on their chests," Hartley told the BBC.

"This is going to happen whatever us supporters think about it."

Red shirts?
Dragons on the crest?
Lucky?

Mr. Tan does realise Wrexham have failed in the play-offs the last two seasons with that combination? It's certainly not been lucky for us!

(Intriguingly, we played in blue until the 30s!)

[dste]

Bloomin hell, what a tense day.

[DreamcastRIP]

Oh. My. God.

[nakamura]

Just wow.

At least Liverpool can get away with losing another game without anyone noticing this week.

[sscott]

Un...believable!
