Sonatine 10007 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 An Arsenal fan has hanged himself after his team lost 3-1 to Manchester United in the Champions League Semi Final last night. Suleiman Alphonso Omondi, a 29-year-old Kenyan from Nairobi was found dead at his home just hours after his heroes slumped out of the coveted competition. Police confirmed football-mad Mr Omondi was wearing his Arsenal shirt when he took his own life. Mr Omondi's friend Calvin Otieno said: "We were watching the match at Bamba 70 pub, and when Arsenal were defeated, Suleiman just walked out in protest and he was crying." Football related tragedies are frequent in Kenya, where English clubs enjoy a passionate following among the locals. European games, in particular the UEFA Champions League, attract more attention than national and continental fixtures. For many Arsenal fans, the tie was a chance to salvage a disappointing season. It has been four years since the Gunners won a domestic or European trophy. Arsenal's chances of reaching their second European final in four years effectively came to an end after just ten minutes. Cristiano Ronaldo's 11th minute strike meant the Gunners needed to score four goals. Lucky he didn't follow NUFC or he'd have been long dead and buried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 133 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 So if the following happens: Bolton 1-0 Sunderland Hull 0-1 Stoke Newcastle 1-0 Middlesbrough Bolton 1-0 Hull Newcastle 1-0 Fulham Portsmouth 1-0 Sunderland The Table at 22:00 on Monday 18th May will look like this? That would effectively (barring a capitulation to Villa and Hull thumping Man Utd) make us safe with one game to play, would it not? God these two home games are massive......

The Fish 9016 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) I have just done a predictor that has us level with the mackems and hull on 35 points. Hull going down on goal difference. Our results included a draw with Fulham and a win over Boro, defeat at Villa. Edited May 6, 2009 by The Fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stevie Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I suppose all you football purists want Barcelona to win tonight, well I fuckin don't the arrogant cunts. Lump on Chelsea at 2/1, Chelsea's back four is not Real Madrid's back four, could be a cracking game this, I'm having a stab at 3-1 Blues at 22/1.

The Fish 9016 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I wouldn't mind Barcelona winning this if there was a guarantee that they'd lose the final, simply because I enjoy their football. Regardless of tonights victor, I want an English club to be named European Champions. If only to annoy Platini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13883 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 1847: Chelsea v Barcelona line-ups:Chelsea: Cech, Bosingwa, Cole, Alex, Terry, Essien, Ballack, Lampard, Malouda, Anelka, Drogba. Subs: Hilario, Ivanovic, Di Santo, Mikel, Kalou, Belletti, Mancienne. Barcelona: Valdes, Alves, Abidal, Pique, Toure, Busquets, Keita, Xavi, Iniesta, Eto'o, Messi. Subs: Pinto, Caceres, Gudjohnsen, Bojan, Sylvinho, Hleb, Pedro. I think I would prefer an all English final as well as some others on here.

Kevin Carr's Gloves 3211 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Not sure what I wouldlike to see more, Man U getting beat of barca or Chelsea getting beat off Man u. Do you reckon Sir Alex will retire if he has won three CL finals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13883 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I wouldn't write Barcelona off yet but then I may just be hopping on the fence because I predicted Chelsea to win. Either way, what a goal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
