I swear I saw a film called that on channel 5.

by **Hero** Tue May 22, 2012 12:06 pm

Same could be said for the 4-0 though, even Cricketfan didn't get those kind of votes against him.

by cherriesfna Tue May 22, 2012 12:07 pm

but at least the 4-0 vote got a good lot of reasoning behind it tho
5-0 was just good wingers and cisse

It was late on a Friday night I'm sure.

Back in the early 2000's when channel 5 was good and I was unaware of the bountiful internet.

by FIFA Diva Tue May 22, 2012 12:13 pm

I voted 5-0 against you Cherries and I won't aplogise I just felt that the wingers were too good and with Cole and Abate bombing up you just got mashed like mash.

When is the first game for Euros? My stupid Euro 2012 app is not working.

An why are Three not replying to me.

Well, from what I can gather from what is written, they hate you. Plain and simple.

I don't know to be honest, it may be that they saw you outnumbered at the back or that Gotze/Cisse/Cazorla/Kroos were too much to handle? There's no accounting for taste I'm afraid.

by **Hero** Tue May 22, 2012 12:15 pm

What is the Channel 5 fascination with trucks, sharks and Nazis?

by nick_fury Tue May 22, 2012 12:16 pm

That is true. But some reasons are more justified than other. You can tell those who read tactics and those who looked at the team sheet.

I remember once in the Furious League I played a new formation in a big game and I got battered. The collective reason was it was the wrong time to play a new formation. Yet its done here in a cup final and it gets a 5-0 win off one voter, hardley no one has bat an eye lid at it.

Just proves the more your liked, dont argue with people, dont question peopel and things, sit on the fence (or high horse) the more people will vote for you to win.
Rant done.

I was trying to keep your identity a secret Viva!

I had to edit the reason, which is why it's so short. Some of what he wrote about you was just plain rude, aggressive and offensive Cherries.

by nick_fury Tue May 22, 2012 12:19 pm

outnumbered at the back or that Gotze/Cisse/Cazorla/Kroos were too much to handle?

Thats classic. Heros plays one CB and 2 fullbacks yet there not overwhelmed.

I voted 5-0 against you Cherries and I won't aplogise I just felt that the wingers were too good and with Cole and Abate bombing up you just got mashed like mash.

It just gets better, Cole and Abate bombing forward left just ONE CB in defence yet he manages fine.

Cherrrrrries

by FIFA Diva Tue May 22, 2012 12:20 pm

I'm just kidding Cherries I didn't give you a 5-0 loss.

Cherries and The Samba Screwjob

Same could easily be said though for the 4-0 Nick, it's a person's interpretation of both set of tactics, this person clearly felt gaps would be exposed for Neymar whilst others didn't. Even the slackest tactics the league has seen don't get a 4-0 loss but somehow in the final this happens?
Changing the formation? Sodhat does that every week, he won the league.
Like any set of tactics were the defender says Defender A will be mark the striker whilst the other person states the striker will be targetting Defender B, who ends up marking the defender?
Just because you fail to agree with them doesn't mean you're right.

I know there not Sodhat. they were just what Viva put above teasing and someone else.

Cherries, I know Viva didnt give you that vote.

This is like the murder case of Tupac.

Some people (me) claiming that I voted against you (Biggie claiming he shot Tupac in the song Who Shot Ya) then you got other people indirectly claaiming they voted against you (West coast gangsters saying they killed Tupac) an then you have some people saying it was the authority that voted against you (conspiracies theorys saying it was the police or freemasons)

All I know is you and Tupac were one of the greatests do ever do it and your career was gunned down before you hit the mountains. RIP West Coast For Life.

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/12193/7770162/Style-over-substance-

Great article as to why Lambert is better than Rodgers and Martinez. Btw how was Rodgers 7/5 to LMA manager of the year and Lambert 8/1? We finished on the same points and beat Swansea twice!

by nick_fury Tue May 22, 2012 12:31 pm

Hero, not saying im right. Once again get off your high horse. Im saying its a joke. Its hard on Cherries that he has to deal with poo reasons. At least the 4-0 to Cherries gave a short, more descriptive paragraph of reason than just 17 words - "Far too much strength on the wings and a lethal strike force for Cherry's CB's to handle."

Changing the formation? Sodhat does that every week, he won the league.

I just used what I did in the Furious league as an example. Obviously it seens to be fine now, teams and change formation all day and play just as well in every single one.

Hero, you were either lucky to win that match or Cherries got screwed over. thats my opinion. I know for a fact im not the only one who thinks that.

I'd agree that the 5-0 is incredibly harsh but in the same respect the 4-0 is. Whilst the person may feel they have justified their comment with their write up I would hazard a guess that it was motivated more by putting egg on my face. Take both out and its the same result though.

Well only the voter knows.
Look at the 2-4 vote, "playing the system Hero played killed his chances of winning"
Look at the 1-3 vote, "What are Athletico playing at drastic change from before and this did not work"

There is 3 people thinking the same thing there. So I doubt its to put egg on your face.

Cherries even got marked down for his tactics being too long. In an amount of line there pretty much that same, both sets are around 18-20 lines each so why is Cherries marked down for that?????

by sodhat Tue May 22, 2012 12:47 pm

You'd have to ask the voter, it's not like anyone told the board that cherries tactics were too long or we'd see more people mentioning it.

by FIFA Diva Tue May 22, 2012 1:01 pm

Who's up for a deal?

by FIFA Diva Tue May 22, 2012 1:20 pm

by **Hero** Tue May 22, 2012 1:55 pm

Heavy rumours Thiago Silva on way to City for £40m and Tevez.

Kompany and Silva as centrbeack partnership sounds scarily good.

by nick_fury Tue May 22, 2012 1:56 pm

Thiago Silva on way to City

Pfffft, if that happens......what a CB pairing

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Tue May 22, 2012 2:17 pm

Ok here is one for you.

If you had pick three teams to go down from the Premier League next season who would it be? Before all the summer dealings etc etc.

I will say Reading, Swansea and West Ham.

by nick_fury Tue May 22, 2012 2:23 pm

I thought we cant until tomorrow.

If you had pick three teams to go down from the Premier League next season who would it be?

City, Liverpool and Arsenal.
Realistically, Wigan, Norwich and West Ham.
I'll be betting on three out of (depending on managers too) Wigan, Norwich, West Ham, QPR, Reading, Southampton....

by TwisT Tue May 22, 2012 2:25 pm

Can I make a normal TP bid now?

I sent my star player one because I won't be on much tomorrow and won't to do it while I remember Laugh

If we lose Lambert and Holt I will be worried about relegation Crying or Very sad

It's got to be sent by tomorrow evening

West Ham will be ok next season, we have a good squad already - stronger than either Saints or Reading in my opinion - and a manager with PL experience

We will definitely spend some too. The owners will not let us go down again, they're losing too much money Laugh

Yeah, normal rules. Got 2 TP's plus a star player bid (but you won't be making one of those, will you? Cool

Sodhat, as a Hammer fan what do you think to the owners?

by nick_fury Tue May 22, 2012 2:35 pm

Oh ok Olly.

2nd season syndrome for Norwich maybe

Hero wrote:Sodhat, as a Hammer fan what do you think to the owners?

I quite like them. I think they have the interests of the club at heart and even though they are prone to a PR gaffe or two, I see them pay out of their own pocket for signings and making generally sensible moves...even if I'd rather not move to Stratford.

I trust them not to sell us to some random businessman that bankrupts us too. They are at least actual West Ham fans.

Another thing me and one of my flatmates were discussing was the increasing attractiveness of Karren Brady. It's peculiar, but she seemed to now be attractive, although we were getting progressively drunker.
