Particularly liked this bit;
'In Woodgate's absence, Real have struggled and look likely to end a second straight season without a trophy.'

He hasn't played a game for them for yet, talk about not letting the facts get in the way of a good story. lol

Re: Johnathan Woodgate

He is the football equivalent of Jonny Wilkinson (not that he has achieved anything like Sir Jonny), i.e. bags of talent - but always injured/ looking like their career could be over.

Re: Johnathan Woodgate

It's been a massive blow for him,this season.He will have a tough task getting back to where he was before injury.

Re: Johnathan Woodgate

You should include a when writing something ironic. He's been injured most of his entire career and this season he only played in a few less games than usual!

Apologies.I will suitably adjust my message

It's been a massive blow for him,this season.He will have a tough task getting back to where he was before injury,so that would be a twelve year old,before his voice broke.

Re: Johnathan Woodgate

Getafe ran Madrid's defence raged on Sunday. Helguarer and Samual were pony ... Woodgate with one leg and both hands tied behind his back would of put up more fight then them pair!! and considering Woodgate's abillity speaks volumes about those two muppets

Are you shocked at:

* the fact he played
* the fact he got a rousing reception
* his hair?

 

[Willo]

All 3

Re: Johnathan Woodgate

The fact that he finished. There should be a spread bet on Woodgate matches before season-ending injury. I'm going for somewhere in mid October. "Going to have to shut it down, but I'm eager to get started next summer!"

I'm going to that game

 

[Heston Bee]

Remember to wear a red & white scarf and shout "Forza Atleti" everytime Valencia attack. It's a new trend in the Bernabeu, you'll be very popular.

I hope "Woody" does well there.

[West Ealing Bee]

I hope he can prove his fitness and stay fit.

Hopefully Rio ferdinand can then be left out of the England team

 

[Jimbee]

25 minutes into his Real Madrid debut and he has put Athletic Bilbao 1 up with a diving header. lol

 

[Scratchy]

How much did he cost again?

rofl

Ah that was too funny.Real 0 Bilbao 1(Woodgate OG 25 min) Quality signing there. rofl

 

[WarrenBee]

What a header the keeper didn't have a chance.

rofl lol rofl lol

 

[Jimbee]

sent off too. rofl

 

[WarrenBee]

sent off too. rofl

rofl lol rofl lol rofl lol

Perhaps he should have done the Bird that he was due.

 

[Jimbee]

Real 3-1 up though. Becks is having a stormer.....

 

[hanworthbee]

what a start, maybe John will begin to realise this Real Madrid thing just aint gonna happen!

 

[Scratchy]

Unfortunately that was the final score.Grrrr. :grey: Oh well at least Luxemburgo is in employment for another week at least.

 

[West Ealing Bee]

To be fair to him he's given himself a good chance of succeding.

He's pretty much fluent in Spanish and has adapted to the lifestyle better than Beckham or Owen.

He's now got to prove he is good enough, it's a very different game over there for a centre half, if he can stay fit I think he's good enough to make it work.

 

[Spender Bee]

what a start, maybe John will begin to realise this Real Madrid thing just aint gonna happen!

After one game. I thought he played well, and was unlucky with the goal and the sending off. I hope he does well, as to be out of football for 17 months must have killed him.

 

[hanworthbee]

fair play to him though, he even looks spanish now.

 

[Mr Tree]

...as to be out of football for 17 months must have killed him.

as well as making him a little off-the-pace on his return, leading to mishaps such as own goals and red cards

would like to see him succeed

 

[rebus]

That's the thing, he knows more lingo than Beckham, who can hardly string a sentence together and Becks has been there much longer (that's in Spanish folks, not English).

If you see pictures of him now he looks Spanish!

It's probably the best thing he did to go out there, with all those rumours of him setting fire to fifty pound notes in his local boozer with the various hangers on.

I heard another rumour about his long term absence which i cannot state on a site for a family club

 

[bees66]

sent off too. rofl

lol what a *****!

 

[Nada Bee]

i would feel sorry for the guy if he hadnt just picked up £60,000 a week for over a year, by doing absoultly nothing!

 

[Edmundo]

Saw the own goal on Fox Sports in a bar in LA. Have to say that it was a corker and one of the bestest ever ogs! lol

You can't have seen may other own goals then.

 

[Heston Bee]

Interestingly, none of the Madrid papers/press bothered much with Woody's indiscretions. They seemed quite content with what they saw of him, and after 17 months out he probably has a little longer then Wonderbra Luxemburgo to prove himself.

this is of course Bollox !

Beckham speaks fluent spanish, he speaks spanish in the dressing room, he speaks spanish went out on the town.

Fact !

 

[Simon C]

He shouldn't have been thrown in at the deep end after so long out. How many other clubs would throw a center back who'd been out for so long into a game like that? Especially such as important game. What happened to easing him into the first team from the bench?

 

[SmiffyBee]

....... What happened to easing him into the first team from the bench?..........

*pictures of woody being entered by first teamers, over a bench flash through my mind*

 

[Simon C]

Leave your private fantasies off the GPG.

 

[Mr Tree]

If you see pictures of him now he looks Spanish!

while this is true, he looked more french with his gallic shrugs of "who me, what have i possibly done wrong?" after his indiscretions - must have been practising while out

Simon C - defenders are rarely given 20 minutes at the end of the match, are they? esp £13m ones. plus i believe they were a little short at the position... and Bilbao aren't the greatest...

Don't see why not. They were a bit shorter at the back for half an hour last night.

I'm sure he didn't ask to be injured! I hope he does well out there, I'm sure he'll be a better player for them than for "crisis club Newcastle", and that can only help the England team. Why, when Real start buying players that might be really useful rather than yet another attacking midfielder/forward, do people revel in the player's misfortune?

Over the last 10 years hardly any English internationals have played outside the Premiership (Gazza at Rangers, Hargreaves at Bayern are the only ones that spring to mind) before Real bought Beckham, I'd have thought it was a sign of international recognition that the players are in demand in Spain etc. I'm sure Chelsea would happily have in on their bench bt how does that help anyone :shrug:

Is that Scratchy on his holidays?

 

[rebus]

another o.g. - well done woody!

I guess he lasted the 90 minutes this time around.

Heston no that's not me.I had figured he was an Atletico club director.
