leesmithg Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Thatcher shouldn't havre done what he did. Mendes is now injured and may have long-term injuries. Poor Mendes. Well Thatcher should pay Mendes's wages till he recovers. Thatcher busted a players jaw on tour also. I can't believe the FA haven't got the balls to deal with him without using the lame excuse about the referee gave him a card which was yellow already. If Gallagher (ref) did not see the actions of Thatcher he too should be banned and have an eye test.

hulibecker Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Its good to see that despite City having a tough game this weekend, that they have took the action to suspend Thatcher whilst investigation takes place. Now if only the FA have the balls to do something themselves then maybe some justice will actually come from this. Im a big UTD fan but still have to give city credit for taking action. :yes: Lets hope all this weekends games are clean and that we can talk about some great goals, and not another horror tackle taking place.

Moonchester Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Agree it was a terrible tackle, and he should pay, but were all the United fans saying the samething about Keane's tackle on Alf Ing Haarland ? That was premeditated where I am sure Thatcher's was just a spur of the moment thing and he only meant to push him out of the way That was a horrible tackle! Ben shouldnt be aloud to play football again after that.

dairyground Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 there's pushing someone out of the way and then there is a full on assault - you dont go for the ball while aiming a punch! he has done this before and i can see no reason why a 6 month ban and a heavy fine shouldnt be imposed Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/480351-fa-premier-league-thread/page/6/#findComment-587821672 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powa Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 On tour he caused a chinese player a punctured lung. Jeez how do you do that? Hahaha! How is that even possible? That's crazy. Yeah, it was a brutal challenge. You could see how he carried on after the ball had been cleared. I think he meant to get him hard, to kind of scare Mendes out of future tackles, which is nothing new in football. But he took it too far.

geek_rohit Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 Aston Villa continues to impress with their unbeaten run. Newcastle didn't have a great day. Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United won their games, no shocks here. Arsenal's loss is a shocker. Loosing to Manchester City won't help the teams confidence. Spurs too had a bad game against Everton. The next gameweek's highlights are Arsenal v M'brough. Though an away game, Boro would love to shock Arsenal at the new Emirates stadia, Boro had that morale boosting win against Chelsea and Arsenal lost the game against ManC, so this game will be an entertaining one. Then we have Man Utd v Tot'ham. I expect United to win this one, though this will be a difficult one to win among the previous 3 games i think. Mon - 28 Aug 06 M'brough v Portsm'h Sat - 09 Sep 06 Everton v Liv'pool Arsenal v M'brough Bolton v Watford Chelsea v Charlton N'castle v Fulham Portsm'h v Wigan Sheff U v Blackb'n Man Utd v Tot'ham Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/480351-fa-premier-league-thread/page/6/#findComment-587826877 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shibby Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Glad to see aston villa doing pretty well now. sorta happy that arsenal aren't doing so great! Aston Villa look to get Petrov from Celtic for 7m. I'm pretty anoyed at this as pompey have wanted him for some time now, and then aston villa comes in and they get him. Same think happend with Anelka going to Bolton. It just seems some clubs don't want to deal with portsmouth even thou now Portsmouth have money and differnt people in power they dont want to know. And glen jonhson is now got an ankle problem and will miss out on tonite match Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/480351-fa-premier-league-thread/page/6/#findComment-587828157 Share on other sites More sharing options...

geek_rohit Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 Ben Thatcher could return to action within a month after Manchester City imposed a six-match ban for his horrific challenge on Portsmouth midfielder Pedro Mendes, two of which are suspended. Meanwhile quite a lot happening at the transfer window: Portsmouth sign striker Andrew Cole from Manchester City in a two-year deal.(Is Shibby happy now? :p ) Argentina striker Carlos Tevez says he and team-mate Javier Mascherano have agreed to sign for West Ham. Woodgate & ?6m Huth sign for Boro Portsmouth have signed veteran striker Andy Cole from Manchester City on a two-year contract. (Maybe Shibby is more happier now?:pp) Manchester United have loaned Italian youngster Giuseppe Rossi to Newcastle. Manchester United are not expected to make any new signings before the transfer window closes tomorrow after Sir Alex Ferguson effectively conceded defeat in his attempts to sign Owen Hargreaves. Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill has finally won the battle to sign Celtic midfielder Stilian Petrov who has joined the midlands club in an ?8million deal.

Martyn Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Mascherano and Tevez are two great players. I am particularly impressed with Mascherano, he guard's his defence very well. Lucky West Ham if they get them, but I can smell Chelsea's hand in this as Roman's bitch own's MSI (who also own Tevez and Mascherano). I think Chelsea just want both player's to play in London for a year and gain experience in the Premiership, before they join Chelsea.

Brodel Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Is Cole going to move to Chelsea? Is Gallas moving out of Chelsea? Whats going to happen in the last few hours of the transfer market? Cole will be staying at Arsenal until Christmas I think, I'm surprised Tevez went to West Ham though. I'd have liked to see him at Arsenal or a slightly larger club. Lets just hope the Argentinians can stay on their feet in the premiership and don't want to move abroad after one season. Reyes still wants a move to Real Madrid, I'd like to see him stay in the Premiership but I read in the paper that Julio Baptista could be making his way to Arsenal on loan which would help them out a lot at the moment.

Martyn Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Tevez and Mascherano have signed for West Ham on permanant deal's for an undisclosed fee. To be honest, there is no way in hell that West Ham could afford either of those player's as they would cost more than ?50 million combined. It look's like many of us were wrong about Chelsea having something to do with this, seeing as the deal's are loan deal's. I remmber last year MSI were linked to a takeover or West Ham, so maybe that could have something to do with it? Amazing coup for West Ham though, I genuinely like West Ham as a football club so I would much rather Tevez and Mascherano sign for them than say Chelsea or Manure.

Shibby Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 ARSENAL: The first edition of The Sun has arrived at 2230 and it claims that Arsenal have accepted a deal of ?5m plus William Gallas for Ashley Cole from Chelsea. Elsewhere, the Gunners have agreed a swap deal which will see Jose Antonio Reyes heading to Real Madrid, and Julio Baptista coming the other way. It's a loan deal for one season, with an option to buy next summer. Meanwhile, one defender looks to be off - Villarreal have agreed a ?2m fee for Pascal Cygan (2152). http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/5235160.stm Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/480351-fa-premier-league-thread/page/6/#findComment-587839007 Share on other sites More sharing options...
