Manchester United 1-2 Arsenal

Fabianski OG 56'----- Arshavin 2'
---------------------Van Persie 9'

[30stone]

Id take a draw right now, but i do think we can actually get something from the game today.

[Locke.]

Last time Arsenal won at Old Trafford was 2006, I thought they had quite a good record there

[Novo]

I have Walcott last goal at 11/1
Diaby first goal at 16/1
Arsenal to win 2-0 at 20/1

[bbfan1991]

Arsenal are favourites, more pressure on them.. I loved last year where everyone expected United to lose at the Emirates but we kicked ass from start to finish!:D.

[alc09]

If Arsenal are to be taken seriously as title contenders they need to be winning here.

It remains a two horse race as far as I'm concerned. Prove me wrong, Arsenal.

[MTVN]

Surprised to see Big Sam sacked, he hadnt done a bad job at all

[bbfan1991]

Surprised to see Big Sam sacked, he hadnt done a bad job at all

I know:shocked:, the impatience is getting worse. When Fergie first started at United it took him a while to get things running off the ground and that turned out for the best. Even Wenger needed time at Arsenal.

[Locke.]

Utd are going to humiliate Arsenal tonight

Exactly, teams are far to quick to get rid of their managers now, they're always gonna need time. I suppose it's possible there could have been some conflict with him and the owners though, Allardyce does have quite a big ego

[alc09]

Utd are going to humiliate Arsenal tonight
I'd laugh if that is the case, this current United side is very average for me and Arsenal won't have a better chance to come away from Old Trafford with 3 points.

[30stone]

When man united came to Arsenal last season...

It was Arsenal 1 - 2 United.

But United had ONE shot on target.
from a Rooney DIVE

And the other goal was from Diaby in his own net.

Arsenal slaughtered the first half the second was Even..

[30stone]

Pretty good game so far..
United playing well, Arsenal not passing as fluent as usual.

[King Gizzard]

Sam Allardyce is a ***** so I'm glad he's out of football even if he'll probably get the next job that's availible. Now we just need to get rid of Pulis and we'll be cleaning up football from the anti-football wankers.

[King Gizzard]

Rooney paid quarter of a million a week and he can't finish a pen lol

[Locke.]

I had

Man Utd to win by at least 2 goals
+
Rooney to score + Utd to win

So Rooney cost me two winning bets with that penalty miss. Fat ugly ****.

[30stone]

For some reason im not annoyed..

I was praying for a goal though..

[Mark]

Locked up an ok win.

Had u1.5 goals in the match tonight. Almost took 0-0 at 14-1, but went for the safer option, lucky I did :)

Had a small amount on Man U at 1.98 also.

[Mark]

Brightons new ground is looking good.

[bbfan1991]

Happy:D, although Arsenal did play better in the second half but the United defence kept them at bay and there were chances for both teams.

Bloody Asian cup, we're losing Park Ji Sung for 7 matches:mad:.

Rooney steps up to take the penalty but puts it a mile over the bar

.

[30stone]

Lol.
Nostradamus.

[bbfan1991]

I cringed when Rooney missed that:laugh2:.

I was convinced Van Persie, Fabregas or Walcott would score as my nerves were on edge but phew never happened:p.

[bbfan1991]

.

Well done on getting that prediction right:rolleyes: (not at you but at the miss).

[30stone]

So happy Rooney missed the penalty, as anyone who considers that a penalty desicion.. well..

[alc09]

What has happened to Clichy in the last 2 seasons, 30stone?

Used to be a good left back, but he has been poor for ages now and was easily the worst player on the pitch last night (yes, even worse than Chamakh). Out of his depth.

[bbfan1991]

So happy Rooney missed the penalty, as anyone who considers that a penalty desicion.. well..

It wasn't:nono:.

[30stone]

Clichy made some good challenges.


Vidic and Ferdinand were quality, we kept trying to play it in the air and it didnt work.

Don't know why your always on at Chamakh, even when he plays well..


But dont know really clichy makes so many mistakes.





Still cant believe that penalty was given..

[bbfan1991]

Sky Sports News showed Arsenal's record against Chelsea and Manchester United recently, it is shocking but they still have another 2 fixtures in second half of the season to try again:p.

Me and my bro's mate is a Gunners fan Ben and he watched the match with us last night, he was criticial of the centre backs a lot. Wenger blaming the pitch is a pathetic excuse, it's not perfect but it's about the performance and he got his tactics wrong and got outsmarted by Fergie.

[Grimnir]

I think we have one of best defences in world when they all on their game

van der Sar great keeper, Ferdinand and Vidic great centre back pair, Evra is one of best FBs in world both attack and defence and Rafael is gettin better and better

as well as good team work in front of them from the midfield

Hopefully this is the year we make it 19!!!! :dance:

[30stone]

YEah its bad last season and this season but the funny thing is season before..


We got, win and draw against united.
Win and loss against chelsea
and 2 draws against liverpool i believe.. so i dont get whats happened...



I didnt like how much nani rolled about on the floor, and how much fletcher complained and how he pushed webb should have been booked for that, but other than that united were spot on against us.

Lets be honest here, Chamakh is not good enough for where Arsenal want to be. That miss was shocking. Good in the air some may argue, but he wasn't good in the air the other night. If that was him playing well then he is even worse than I thought.

Clichy was the worst player on the pitch, but you are right about the penalty, it was very harsh.

I totally agree with your post and nice to see another United fan here:). We normally play better in the second half but are now top of the table with a game in hand, some will say it's luck or whatever.. it's typical United sometimes we grind the results out when we are playing rubbish and it's all down to the great team spirit Fergie has embedded in them:).

However our midfield needs strengthening, we'll need a new goalkeeper when Edwin retires at the end of the season then rebuilding the team when Neville, Giggs, Scholes, Rio etc eventually retire also.

Sad news about the Rushen and Diamonds keeper Dale Roberts dying at just 24 years old:(, hanged himself after finding out his missus was shagging John Terry's brother:shocked:.

[MissKittyFantastico]

I know I can't say much bearing in mind the state we're in at the moment but that Liverpool game last night was one of the most dull, dire matches I've seen in a long long time. Didn't even have Woy's face rubbing to provide any entertainment!

Poulsen is utter ****e, should never be wearing a red shirt imo.

[Novo]

They were already through anyway

Hardly the point although I suppose that explains why they had a buy one get four free policy on their tickets right up till kick off :rolleyes:

Who cares it was a pointless game

[bbfan1991]

^ True and there's me thinking that Liverpool took all European matches seriously regardless:p.

LOL if Maradona becomes new Blackburn manager:laugh2:.

[30stone]

LOL

I put the liverpool game on x32 speed as i had recroded it, the only bit i stopped for is when that guy got stretchered off lol.



And as for Chamakh i think hes good our best striker right now, his touch is great he just needs to settle more but hes already got 10 goals this season which is good.

Nasri was so quiet in the game apparently had an injury and could run properly...

[bbfan1991]

Chamakh has impressed but needs to do more:).

So Man City got the point they got against Juventus to top their Europa League group. Juve out!:joker:

Cardiff need to get back to winning way soon:p.

[DDRickyDD]

In the Champions League draw;

- Man United will get Copenhagen
- Tottenham will get AC Milan
- Chelsea will get Inter

The other games will be; Schalke v Roma, Bayern Munich v Marseille, Real Madrid v Lyon and Shaktar v Valencia.

In the Europa League, Liverpool will get Rangers and Man City will get Rubin Kazan.

[30stone]

Arsenal will draw one of the big spanish teams 100% lol.

We always get a bad draw..

AC Milan v Tottenham Hotspur

Valenicia v Schalke

Inter Milan v Bayern Munich

Coventry vs Norwich tomorrow. 5th vs 6th in the league, a very important game.

Bookies have Coventry as a favourite by a small margin, I think it is closer than that. Both teams are strong at the moment and it should be a great game. Coventry going for their 5th clean sheet in a row.

This was the pitch from just outside my office this morning

Cardiff game against Burnley called off:p.

[DDRickyDD]

Here's my predictions for the Last 16;

Barcelona will rip Arsenal apart beating them 2-1 at the Emirates and 5-0 at the Nou Camp. Tottenham will get past AC Milan on away goals. Man United will draw 1-1 at the Veledrome but lose 1-0 at Old Trafford with a last minute goal from Brandao. Chelsea will lose in Copenhagen but easily beat them at Stamford Bridge and go through on aggregate. Inter will edge out Bayern, Roma will beat Shaktar, Real Madrid will be too good for Lyon and Valencia will knock Schalke out.

[Mark]

Match going ahead Coventry City have confirmed the Championship match against Norwich City tomorrow at the Ricoh Arena is going ahead as planned.There has been snow in Coventry with some areas having at least three inches of snow. However with undersoil heating and fibres in the grass which also keep out the cold, the pitch is playable.It is understood that the overseas television channels which take English Championship football could possibly be showing the game live.

[30stone]

Arsenal game called off is dissapointing :(

[Mark]

Very frustrating result at the Ricoh today, not helped by a very incompetent referee. You only have to look at his record (http://www.football-lineups.com/referee/1111) to see that he's a card giving machine.

A few minutes into the game, with our striker one on one with the last defender, he got a forearm to the head, and put in a half nelson and dragged to the ground inside the box and the ref said play on.

We then got a yellow card for a very average challenge.

Then we got a red card for an awkward 2 footed challenge, there wasn't any major contact but the Norwich guy milked it for all it was worth, the ref said free kick and then his assistant overuled him in his earpiece and he went straight to a red. That's twice this season now that the assistant has overruled the ref to give a big game decision that's cost us the game (the last being a penalty against us vs cardiff).

Then we were down to 10 men, and Norwich scored in the 2nd half to go 1-0 up.

A bit later on superstar striker Marlon King scored a great goal to make it 1-1 with Coventry on 10 men.

http://www.ccfc.co.uk/javaImages/ba/83/0,,10269~9077690,00.jpg

With 10minute left Coventry hit the post from a really tight angle which would have been incredible had it gone in.

Then the idiotic ref showed just how terrible he was when Marlon King tackled a player and bought him down (foul). The ref was running up pitch at the time and didn't see the challenge, but when he turned around he saw the Norwich guy crying around on the floor. He then went over to Clive Platt and gave him a yellow card. A man who was probably 10-15 feet away and not even involved in the tackle or any post tackle confrontation. A complete bystander in the challenge getting booked. We will appeal that and hopefully the ref will get some penalty for booking an innocent man.

With 4 minutes to go Norwich scored from a corner after we defended it pretty badly.

Final score: Coventry 1 - 2 Christopher Sarginson

[Mystic Mock]

hard luck to coventry,if they werent down to 10 men they probably would have won the game.

[bbfan1991]

Arsenal game called off is dissapointing :(

Plus the Chelski one, bloody snow:bored:.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Our game against Man City tomorrow night is still on (for the moment), it better not get cancelled am well looking forward to it!

Horrible weekend with hardly any games on :( The Ipswich game was amazing though, thought Keane was gonna knock Atwell out when he took the players off for 15mins in the second half and it looked like they wouldn't be coming back out :hugesmile:

[danda012]

It would take a brave brave man to tell Roy Keane that his team's game is off when they are 3-0 up.

Did that ipswitch game get called? as it should have 100%


Man city losing = A great christmas present for many football fans.

Recorded match of the day aswell and i get this rubbish show on..

[MissKittyFantastico]

Nah they played the full 90 mins in the end! Was amazing, fair play to the ground staff for doing their best to keep the lines free all game! If it'd been 0-0 at half time I reckon it would have been stopped but with Ipswich 3-0 it would have been harsh to call it off really.

Reckon we can get something out of tonight, Man City being top for Xmas is not a nice thought! Would love to see us beat em 2-0 again like we did twice last season :)

[30stone]

LOL!!!!!!

Everton smashed it at City of manchester stadium...

[30stone]

That will be either cahill or baines in team of the week on fifa.
already have upgraded baines so cahill would be pretty good.

[bbfan1991]

Well done Everton:):D, theres no point in turning on the style against United, Liverpool etc then be disappointing against teams like West Ham, Fulham etc;).

At least Man City aren't top of the table and I see Tevez has changed his mind, knew he would stay and i'm so glad United didn't sign him in the end now..

[30stone]

I am looking back at Van Persie, and IF (and its a huge ****ing if) he can stay fit i think we can go far..

I mean..

jPhDNJ59ZBI

Shows every part of his class... sadly there will always be an if by his career..

What IF he didnt get injured every couple of months.. What type of player COULD he be..

Spurs have been linked with Jose Antonio Reyes LOL, shame he never settled in England but he's playing some impressive stuff at Atletico Madrid and is happy there so no chance...

[30stone]

Van Persie is imo, one of the most impressive players ive seen hes actually amazing!
His touch is perfect, he has skill, he has ability vision can hit the target.. just a complete player, if only he didnt get injured..


Its not really his fault though some of the tackles on him are absolutely stupid.

[bbfan1991]

The thing about Arsenal is that sometimes they don't finish games off or don't grind out results like United or Chelsea do when they are playing crap. It's good to play attractive football but when you don't get trophies as a reward for it then it is disappointing.

I do wish last week Evra had kept his mouth shut and focused on the game but he is opinionated, I actually thought his comments would inspire Arsenal to put up more of a fight however they lacked that extra something on the night..

[bbfan1991]

Fantastic news that Ryan Giggs might be joining the Wales coaching staff, they want to coax him out of retirement for the game against England as it is in his hometown Cardiff:p:cool:.

Poulsen is utter ****e, should never be wearing a red shirt imo.

It was a **** match and yeah Poulsen is the worst player ever, but we had already qualified as group winners, we had nothing to play for whatsoever.

Hardly the point although I suppose that explains why they had a buy one get four free policy on their tickets right up till kick off :rolleyes:

And you know that you would be praising this decision if it was Everton that had done it.

And it was actually buy one adult ticket get 4 child tickets free.

Yeah thats what i mean, last season we could have done something.. but at one point we had 11 injuries... imagine chelsea with 11 injuries to player what would they have left? Yet we kept going and got third..

I think evra is mouthy, but a great player.
Nani rolls about the floor but a great player..

Dont like fletcher, shoting moaning bastard so annoying, hes good and work rate is great but hes always bloody moaning to the ref but shouting not just complaining.


Anyways if Chamakh, Van Persie, Nasri, Arshavin, Fabregas, Walcott are all in good form them any of them could score every game...

Song on form is great..

Vermaelen back would be a massive boost too! And Diaby, against the bigger teams hes amazing. (physically bigger)

Your defence needs sorting out and more reinforcements;).

United had lots of defensive injuries last season and the replacements were capable enough to fill in and played well apart from a few blips here and there, to finish a point Chelsea behind showed the strength in depth. I think Arsenal need more experience/older players to push on if you're to out up a much more close fight for the title.

[bbfan1991]

Jamie Carragher is one of a select few Englishmen who have been identified by the FA as a potential future international coach.


England's governing football body have revealed they're keen to fast-track the Liverpool vice-captain into their coaching set-up, along with others such as David James, Paul Scholes, Gary and Phil Neville.

:worship:

[alc09]

Vermaelen back would be a massive boost too!
He's a strange one Vermaelen, without a doubt will be a boost to see him return but is prone to a gaffe from time to time (and usually in the bigger matches).

He's reasonable a lot of the time, but he'll often make a mistake which costs a goal, he's like Titus Bramble, although his mistakes are a lot more obvious than Vermaelen's. Top player 4 I don't know, but he's probably Arsenals best defender at the moment, which is quite worrying.

However, the french centre back, won the lottery when Arsenal signed him. He's well out of his depth.

I honestly can't imagine how frustrating it must be to be an Arsenal fan.

He's reasonable? He solid, player 45 games last season a few weeks through injury.. scored 8 goals, and was a fantastic defender, one of the top 6 centre backs in the premier league last season imo.

Wish we signed Jan Vertonghen from ajax.

And Sagna is class imo.. great player.

Koscielny isn't that great but hes actually quite solid in MOST games, against united he was great, and so was squilaci actually hes very solid defensively, i wonder who wil start in the team when Vermaelen returns..

Ashley Young waiting till summer to discuss new contract, bit of a risk to start then if other clubs come in and try to turn his head because he'll be out of contract.

[King Gizzard]

He can go if he wants. Only want players here who want to play for us. Plus we have Marc Beckham Albrighton who'll be twice the player Ash ever dreamt of being

[DDRickyDD]

As i'm probably not going to have time to post tomorrow i'l make my predictions for the Boxing Day fixtures today.

Fulham will beat West Ham 2-0 with goals from the Texan Clint Dempsey. Blackburn will lose 3-0 at home to Stoke in Kean's first game in charge. Blackpool v Liverpool will be called off due to a frozen pitch. Everton and Birmingham will be a bore 0-0 draw. Sunderland will get a 2-2 draw at Old Trafford. Newcastle will beat Man City 3-1 with Carroll scoring an hat-trick. Villa will beat Tottenham 1-0 and miss a penalty.

In Monday's game Chelsea will beat Arsenal 2-0.

[King Gizzard]

Let's hope you're right

I'd ignore anything that muppet says, his opinion is with the team who's the flavour of the month. Some Chelsea fans are blaming their rot on injury, to an extent thats true but they're underperforming and their squad is aging.

Arsenal were easily the best team tonight, just need a bit more experience still in the team:).

Roy has to take responsibility but IMO the players are more to blame, it's them that have to go onto the pitch and try to get the points. Maybe Roy has been getting the tactics wrong.

The whole squad is in need of an overhaul, do I really see any top class players wanting to join Liverpool over Man Utd, Chelsea, Man City, Arsenal or Tottenham at the moment? no but anything is possible:D.

If Torres plays like he has for the last few games in the next couple then we should cash in in January and sign someone who is going to be consistent with the money.

Roy is the one who signed Konchesky, Roy is the one who signed Poulsen, Roy is the one who signed Cole and gives him over a hundred grand every week, and Roy is the one that is in charge of the players and tells them what to do. Playing Meireles on the wing again when he has never played well out there. And everytime Torres and Ngog play together we **** up.

Man City looked good against Villa and will be challenging for the title this season.

Apperently the Birmingham goal against Man United was offside but I didn't see it because i'd fallen asleep by then.

Arsenal fans must be gutted after dropping silly points at Wigan after that great result against Chelsea.

Liverpool lose and you've got to blame Hodgson. He simply isn't good enough for a big club. He was sacked by Inter and got Blackburn relegated two years after they had won the title. Sky were a joke blaming Benetez when he left six months ago.

Fredrik Ljungberg has signed for Scottish Premier League leaders Celtic FC until the end of the season.

The 33-year-old forward, who won two Premier League titles and three FA Cups with Arsenal FC between 1998 and 2007, could make his debut against rivals Rangers FC on Sunday. "He's done very well in the two days we've seen him," said Celtic manager Neil Lennon after Ljungberg had passed a medical.

"I've seen more than enough to know he would be a good addition. There's a bit of hunger about Freddie. He's a consistent player and has been for a long time." Ljungberg began his career – during which he has won 75 Sweden caps – at Halmstads BK, before spending a decade in England with Arsenal and West Ham United FC. He has spent the past two seasons playing in the United States.

Dunne has cost us at least 4-5 games this season, and NRC hasnt. He was solid this season until he got injured. Ireland hasnt put the effort in and whenever he's got his chance he hasnt taken it.

Martin O'neill didn't leave because of the fans, he left because Randy wouldn't continue giving him the amount of money he was given in the past. Because lets face it, although he had some good signings, he was pretty terrible overall. Curtis Davies, bought him for 10million or something, big wages, yet hardly played. This has got to take the biscuit if you're an owner pumping your own money.

That idiot left us in the mare this season. I don't blame Houllier much whatsoever. If O'Neill had any intentions of quitting he should of done it far earlier on.

Houllier will hopefully be backed in January and get some of his own players in who actually want to play for him then we will slowly get ourselves out of this mess. It only takes a 2-3 wins and we would be back in the top half of the Premier League, it's that tight.

That's our best squad at the minute, and that is better than most in the league.. Only teams with a better squad then that are City, Utd, Arsenal, Spurs, and Chelsea.

Could do with getting rid of one of Skrtel or Kygriakos and bringing in a new CB (we're linked with Mertesacker). Really need to bring in a new striker, hoping the sources from inside the club are true and we are after Adebayor. A consistent left winger is needed aswell.

Sort those positions out and we can sort ourselves out.

Birmingham were overly aggressive, bowyer could have been sent off more than once...

Hes a dirty ****ing ***** for what he was like today, disgrace.


Glad we got a good win when others around us all won, and going to st andrews and coming away 3 - 0 is great, just got to beat man city now.

did you miss van persies dive that gave them there first goal? that is a disgrace.

and the referee pissed me off more for favouring arsenal all through the match.

[Mystic Mock]

im gutted rangers lost to the scum that is celtic.

[Novo]

I said before the game that if we win then the title race is done and dusted we would be 2 points clear with 2 games in hand and would have gone on to win it no doubt, now we need to win our two games in hand to take us back top of the table

[InOne]

Gotta admit, you were all over us in the first half.

And then...

[Novo]

Rangers have 2 games in hand anyway, Win both games they go back to the top of the league by 2 points so the win for the unwashed today could be very pointless which would be funny..

Only scummy bastards like them would do this...

Chelsea need to sort it out and fast, can't have them falling out of touch with the top 4 aswell.

amazing

[King Gizzard]

Yes!!!!! yes!!!! have some of that!!! get in!!!!

Heard that on the radio before didn't think it was him though :joker:

[Mark]

Cardiff conceded 7 in their last two.

[Mark]

Middlesbrough 2.52
v
Norwich 3.00

Autobet here.

The line is ridiculous, probably one of the worst match odds I've seen this season. Norwich have a strong side at the moment, Grant Holt is in great form and they have good momentum. A win over QPR, a 4-2 win a few days ago. Lost 1 in their last 10.

Middlesbrough are starting to find form, but that form is beating the odd bad team and scraping out a few draws. They are 20th in the league.

Unfortunatly the championship is so unpredictable - any team can beat any team more so than you see in the premiership, but even given that risk, the exposure to those odds it's got to be worth a bet.

[Locke.]

Didn't realize all the lower leagues were playing today, need to get a few bets on because I haven't been paid this week :bored:

[Mark]

Where are you working?

I have

Norwich to win
Nott Forest to win
Southampton to win

I'm considering something like Swansea Leicester over 3.5 goals, or maybe even 4.5. Just feel like that game is going to be a goalfest. Won't bet much on that though, might accumulate it with something else to make it an all or nothing bet.

[Locke.]

Was working at the Perfume Shop but i've finished now, was working a week in hand so was supposed to get paid on Friday, guess it never went on because it was New Years eve.

Probably going to go for QPR, Watford, + Peterborough

[Grimnir]

if Arsenal and City draw on Wednesay, United can get nice lead at top with games in hand as long as beat Stoke :elephant:

[30stone]

Van persie still got pushed... bowyer had no reason to stamp or drag his boot down sangas achillies.. scum.

how come your not working no more david?


And an Arsenal win would be perfect. Arsenal and Man United fighting for first and second how it should be. Chelsea need to find form and overtake man city and tottenham.

[Locke.]

Was only a christmas temp

[Locke.]

We have signed Eljero Elia for 15 million from Hamburg, expected to be announced sometime soon. He is Babel's mate an Babel has confirmed it on twitter aswell

How on earth is he worth 15 Million :joker: :joker:

Dzeko is 5 times the player and he is only worth 27 Million

[Locke.]

15 million euro's it is, dunno how much that is in £'s

nobody touched van persie lol,and i can point out so many other arsenal dives that got given as freekicks is unbelieveable.

and what about van persies handball that should have given birmingham a penalty? and it was just before his dive aswell so it could have sent birmingham 1-0 up and then anything could have happened.

[30stone]

Feel free to point out all those dives.. And yes they said van persie was touched, he just went over easily because he knew he would get a free kick, he was still pulled.

And he attempted to get it with his head.. it come down on his arm what can you do eh.
Arsenal get a bit of luck for once in their life..





Good times.

"The Scot made his comments as he prepared to lose Lee Bowyer for at least three matches after television footage showed the midfielder stamping on Bacary Sagna's right leg and raking his studs down the defender's achilles in two separate incidents during Arsenal's 3-0 victory on Saturday.

The FA is set to charge Bowyer with violent conduct tomorrow after Peter Walton, the referee at St Andrew's, confirmed he missed both offences. Bowyer seems certain to receive a three-match ban for stamping on Sagna, and the suspension could be doubled if Walton also deems the second challenge worthy of a straight red card. The latter scenario, however, seems unlikely, according to FA sources.

Although McLeish refused to discuss the incidents involving Bowyer because he felt it was "inappropriate" before the FA announced its verdict, the Birmingham manager made it clear he will not defend the indefensible."


He said how nasri should have been punished.. yet Nasri got took out before the incident..

And what about Carr on fabregas, fabregas accidentily catches him.. 2 minutes later he gets no where near the ball and just smashes fabregas.


It was a rough ol game.. all was okay bar what bowyer did.

[Locke.]

Blackpool v Birmingham, 20:00
Fulham v West Brom, 20:00
Man Utd v Stoke, 20:00

All play tomorrow.

The game of the night will be Cardiff vs Leeds though, 4th vs 5th, winners goes into 2nd place. Hope Leeds win we need them back where they belong, in the Premiership.

[Shaun]

Blackburn bidding for Ronaldinho :laugh2:

[Novo]

Not really surprised, Ronaldinho Doesn't even make the Brazil team anymore

[Mystic Mock]

how come bowyer gets banned for 3 matches yet van persie gets away with diving which lead to there 1st goal and handballing in the penalty area which should have been a birmingham penalty?

van persie collapsed on the floor like he was having a heart attack,nobody touched him.

and he delibrately handballed the ball in the penalty area as he had his hands high in the air.

[Locke.]

Dzenko will be securing City's title win soon

[bbfan1991]

Man City got a deal there for Dzeko, however I still don't think they will win the title:p.

[Locke.]

Just looking at Utd's team tonight.. they're definitely there for the taking if Stoke play their usual boring football

[Locke.]

Liverpool have made an enquiry to Manchester City for Emmanuel Adebayor, skysports.com understands.

The Togolese star is one of a number of City players who have been linked with a move this January.

The former Arsenal striker is far from being first choice under Roberto Mancini and the imminent arrival of Edin Dzeko will push him further down the pecking order.

Now a host of clubs are making contact with City to register their interest in taking the 26-year-old.

Loan

And skysports.com understands that Liverpoolare the latest club to express an interest.

However, they are not the only club looking at Adebayor, with Tottenham, West Ham and even Real Madrid linked with a move.

Liverpool would currently only be in the market to take Adebayor on loan given his wages and possible fee, with City unlikely to accept a cut-price deal for a player they paid over £25million for just 18 months ago.

But should City allow him to move on loan, then the Anfield club would hope to be in pole position to land him.

Because he was a dirty wanker...
Simple.



And Adebayor would be great for liverpool, and likely to now since Dzeko, always wanted us to buy him but ohh well.
Another player i had big respect for moves to money throwing city..

[30stone]

Bowyer, who has also played for Charlton, Leeds, West Ham and Newcastle during his career, has received more bookings than any other player since the Premier League began in 1992, with 98 bookings to his name.

[alc09]

I think United leading this division with their weakest team in some time is some indication of where the Premiership is at the moment. Awful standard.
