Why the hell were there Cardiff fans in Swindon? D: Was this from like pre-season last season or something?
Yeah 25th July 2009, didn't go myself but went to a friendly against you lot a year before and it looked like kicking off then so no surprise that something happened last year.

It had pictures of all the blokes involved in yesterdays paper, some right ugly bastards. Not sure why they thought they would get away with it where it happened seeing as due to there being lots of pubs/bars on that street the place is covered in CCTV.

[alc09]

Good victory from Man City today but Chelsea are still going to win the league at a canter. Very poor from Arsenal, losing at home to newly promoted West Brom, who have made a fantastic start and look like they can finally stay in the Premiership. Liverpool struggled at home to Sunderland and apparently Sunderland were much the better team and Liverpool were fortunate to get draw. Tottenham lost again. Last season's 4th place finish is looking even more like a fluke by the day. Blackpool lost the Lancashire derby at home to Blackburn with Blackburn getting a last minute winner. Fulham kept their unbeaten record going with a bore 0-0 draw with Everton.

In the Championship, Preston finally ended their away day blues and beat the sky blues, Coventry 2-1 at the Ricoh Arena. Portsmouth somehow beat Leicester 6-1 at Fratton Park on Friday but I expect Leicester to get out of trouble. I expect Preston, Scunthorpe, Barnsley, Millwall and Portsmouth to be the teams fighting to stay in the league.

In Germany, Bayern Munich lost at home to newly promoted Mainz. And to continue the shock results between newly promoted teams and European heavyweights, Levante held Real Madrid to a 0-0 draw.
How about that for football knowledge.

I expect a similar right up about todays games.

[alc09]

Bit harsh. As has been said it's a hell of a leap up to the PL and maybe he isn't good enough but he hasn't even played a full 90mins yet and needs to be given support and time to find his feet before people start writing him off. As I've said previously it doesn't help that he's been thrown in the deep end as sole striker because Moyes won't play 4-4-2 and has had little to no service from the midfield. Lets just see what happens eh?
One thing is for sure - if he is given more game time then you lot really are in trouble.

He really isn't very good.

[Chels]

Ah right thought it was from then, we have a right bunch of idiots following us, only for the fighting as well. Thank god it's only a minority.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Oh well a draw is better than losing:spin:.

Well you did say you were worried :p

Bolton are one of those annoying teams you can never be totally confident about beating I think...I actually hate them and their supporters but yeah lol.

That's good news for Arsenal and Ben though, you're only a point ahead of them when it could have been 3 :p

Thanks. Yeah, i'l write about the matches after each matchday.

Manchester United dropped yet more points at Bolton. Chelsea fans must be laughing their arse off. After the defeat to City most people would have been expecting Arsenal and Man United to both get wins but they have both blown their chance. Wolves lost 2-1 despite being the better team for most of the game and have for the third week running lost a game in the last 5 minutes that they should have got something from. Newcastle were much the better team in the first half but seemed to decide it was a good idea to just defend for the entire 2nd half. Stoke deserved their win.

[Locke.]

Good point for us yesterday. Playing at home against a Sunderland side that are clearly better than us with players like Mignolet and Al-Muhammadi in their starting 11. If things keep going this way we might actually just scrape staying in the premiership for another season.

[30stone]

Least you wernt 3 - 0 down to west brom at your home ground...

[Locke.]

Least you wernt 3 - 0 down to west brom at your home ground...

Give it a few weeks and I'm sure we will be

[30stone]

Ive got a weird feeling we are going to get a point or more at chelsea after that..

We were poor at sunderland and poor at home to west brom..

[bbfan1991]

Rooney ruled out:(.

Gotta let WBA enjoy the moment Ben:p.

[DDRickyDD]

I see you're talking bullshine again sonny boy. They got a good squad at this level and I expect them to finish around midtable, they've been quite unlucky and they played very well.

I'm not fooled by their good start. They will be around the relegation places come May in my opinion.

I actually watch my team play every week pal so before you start spouting a load of crap like you usually do, I know more about us than you do,

And I watch my team play every week when their playing at home or away in the North West.

glory supporting wanker. :thumbs:

No need to be rude. :nono:

Watching highlights of the Arsenal v West Brom game it shows how important having a world class keeper is. If Arsenal had a world class GK (Like Cech at Chelsea for example) the 2nd and probably the 3rd goal would have been prevented and Arsenal would have won 2-1.

I'l post my review for the Champions League games later.

[DDRickyDD]

Chelsea are a stronger team than Marseille on paper but Marseille should not be taken lightly, they have dangerous strikers such as Brandao and Gignac and won the French league last season which is ranked as the 5th best league in Europe. Also Drogba will not be able to play against his former team due to his sending off in the match against Inter last season. For Marseille they really need at least a point after their 1-0 loss at home to Spartak Moscow as they will have to go Moscow in November and teams don't tend to get past the Group with three defeats.

Arsenal will, apparently be without Almunia, who is crap but Fabianski is even worse so not good news for Arsenal. Partizan aren't a great team, in fact they are a poor team but with the hostile home Belgrade crowd it will not be easy for Arsenal but I fully expect them to outscore Partizan perhaps 3-2 to Arsenal.

In the Championship, Preston have a diffcult match at Elland Road and I would be very happy with a point but I fear a thrashing unless Lonergan can perform like he did on Saturday. Promotion challengers Cardiff have a game they should win at home to Palace. A London derby at Loftus Road between QPR and Millwall in which I expect QPR to win but they will get into bad form soon and drop off.

[30stone]

Arsenal vs Partizan..

IF Fabianski plays... then belgrade know they will be able to score at least one goal...

Bill Kenwright has been quoted as saying in an interview that he would entertain the idea of us possibly sharing a ground with Liverpool because of our problems with finding a venue and both club's money problems etc. Well he can shove that idea right up his arse..Liverpool have always said a flat NO to the idea now that they're royally in the **** they're suddenly pretty keen on the idea?? No we won't bail them out and no we don't want to share a ground with them EVER thank you very much BK! Dear god.

On a positive note he's apparently talking to three different investors/buyers at the moment, let's hope something comes of it this time. He's admitted he needs to find money for Moyes, I wonder if there's been rumblings behind closed doors about him thinking of moving on.

Match made in hell;).

Interesting developments then...

[Locke.]

Why would a great club like Liverpool want to share a ground with some ****ty club that can't compete with us in any department... I'd rather share a ground with a pub team. I'm sure they'd be able to pull in more fans than Everton anyway.

Oh hello, only three points ahead of us and we're bottom of the table.

****ty club aye? Don't get me started, Liverpool wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for Everton...and you're gonna diss our fans...REALLY?? Everton have some of the most loyal and vocal fans in the whole of the PL, shame Liverpool fans don't spend more time worrying about their own problems with their own club because they're waaaaaaay bigger than ours :hugesmile:

We've already played Utd away, City away, Arsenal, Birmingham away. Everton have had an easy start apart from the Utd game. If Everton are within 6 points of us in 5 games time I'll be more surprised than I was when West Brom were beating Arsenal 3-0.

I'm not saying we haven't had a ****e start to the season, we have, although we haven't played badly at all really, we're not scoring so fair enough we're without a win at the moment and deservedly so based on the lack of finishing on chances. The derby is a 6pt game imo so we'll see what happens then aye. You can't honestly sit there though and say Liverpool have played any better than we have so far this season.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Oh very mature David :laugh:

[Locke.]

Just found that on RAWK.

But yeah I've never seen us play worse than we have in the league this season, we've got a few games now before we play another big team so hopefully we can get a good run going, but after the 2-2 draw with Sunderland this weekend am not so confident.

Nice attempt at a dig there :hugesmile:

Like I said, lets see what happens at the derby on the 17th ;) Both sides have something to prove, so it should be a good game anyway. If we win that I think we'll go on a run then and probably the same for you if you win tbh.

[DDRickyDD]

What a fantastic night of football. Chelsea routinely beat Marseille, who looked poor and will struggle to qualify now. Arsenal did a good job in poor light in Belgrade. Ajax and AC Milan ended in stalemate.

In one of the greatest matches ever, Preston beat Leeds United 6-4 at Elland Road. After being 4-1 down. PNE showed great character to end up winning the game. This is a fantastic victory. Reading will obviously be very nervous about the match at the weekend now. Preston are in confidant mood and will want to give Reading a thrashing before the International break. Lets hope they do. Cardiff held to a draw at home to Palace. I think they are starting to drop off. Middlesbrough lose yet again away from home at Derby.

[bbfan1991]

What is happening at Leicester?:shocked:.

Well done Spurs and Rangers too:thumbs:, shocked that Barcelona drawed at Rubin Kazan but the home side have beaten them before so maybe they underestimated the opposition again?..

Rubin Kazan are a decent team and Russia is a very difficult place to go (Especially in October-November. February-March when the it's cold to say the least) so I wasn't really surprised to see the result. I thought Man United were very lucky, most decisons went their way and Valencia had loads of chances in which they missed. I was surprised at Copenhagen winning in Athens against the Greek champions Panathinikos though. Tottenhm won and they really needed to as they have a double header against Rafa's Inter next.

Tomorrow, I can see Liverpool drawing at Utrecht and Man City ripping Juventus apart.

[bbfan1991]

Yeah but luck is on each teams side at some point:p;).

[Omen]

Liverpool on ITV4 now.

Hate both Man City and Juventus so really didn't care what happened in that game tbh.

Liverpool were shocking again tonight.

Yeah he's a goner I'm afraid come the end of the season. If he was going to stay he would have signed before the world cup, don't even think it's about money tbh, he's said before that he wants to play in as many different leagues as possible in his career so I reckon he's looking for a move abroad. Just hope that if he does sign a pre contract with another club in Jan that his performances for us don't drop, he was our best player last season and we need him at 100%.

Oh and his agent is a dick. :hugesmile:

[King Gizzard]

That is normally bad luck, normally is

Odemwingie probably wont score for ages, and WestBrom will do pants

Emile Heskey hatrick

Oh I do hope so (sorry Rob):p. Shame about Gabby but a few of the reserves etc are stepping up to the plate and nice to see Heskey rejuvanated, his confidence is sky high and he's better at decision making so has improved his game because Houllier gets him:hugesmile:.

[DDRickyDD]

Here's my predictions for the weekend;

Wigan and Wolves will end in a bore 0-0 draw. Man United will beat Sunderland by 1 goal to nil. Tottenham and Aston Villa will draw. Liverpool will hit 6 passed sorry Blackpool. Chelsea will beat Arsenal 2-0 with Jack Wilshere gets frustrated and gets himself sent off near the end due to a reckless tackle on Essien.

Cardiff have a difficult match in Tarn, I can see it ending in a draw. Middlesbrough v Portsmouth should be a good game. This could have been the FA Cup Final in 2008 if Middlesbrough hadn't messed up in the Quarter-Final. Anyway, I can't see Portsmouth coming up to Middlesbrough and winning despite them being in decent form. Middlesbrough to win 2-0. The league leadesr QPR are involved in another London derby at Palace. I can't see them getting anything from the match, they are going to start dropping off in my opinion. Two on form teams meet at Deepdale. Preston having won their last two away games and Reading having won their last two home games. I can see it ending in a draw, perhaps 1-1.

In probably the biggest game in German football Borussia Dortmund play Bayern Munich at Signal Iduna Park. With Ovica Olic saying in Bild that a defeat would put Bayern out of the title race. I expect this match to be a draw. Another top match in Germany see's Micheal Ballack's Bayer Leverkusen play against Bremen who endured a 4-0 loss at the San Siro on Wednesday. Should be an home win.

The big match in France is current league leaders and most succesful team in French football, St Etienne playing against last seasons champions Marseille. I don't think St Etienne can possibly have the sort of luck they had last week in the derby against Lyon and Marseille are starting to get into their groove in Ligue 1.

The two most succesfull teams in Italian football meet at the San Siro Sunday as Inter host Juventus. I can only see an Inter victory here.

Barcelona and Real Madrid have two games they should win against Mallorca and Deportivo.

I'm so glad that Cuellar is being played at Centre Back now, he is class in his natural position and it frustrated me when MON kept putting him at Right Back instead of Luke Young who then had to sit out, but at least he is back in his rightful place also..

[King Gizzard]

Dunne is better than Cuellar though (even though I like him)

Young Dunne Collins Warnock is our best defence

Eric Lichaj (american rb) just got his first call up to the USA team

[bbfan1991]

Emile Heskey scores 4 goals in a game, comes out of International retirement, single handedly leads England to Euro 2012 and then lifts the cup!

[MissKittyFantastico]

We love you Timmy Cahill :love:

Pretty boring game tbh but the main thing is we won and are off the bottom of the table and up in 17th place above Liverpool :p (come on you Tangerines tomorrow!).

Definitely missed Pienaar today, but Osman did a decent enough job, good to see Coleman starting again and everyone played pretty well. Sat back a bit too much after the first goal, but fought well and then some lovely play by Baines to set up Timmy for the second :)

Onwards and upwards now hopefully. Derby next on Oct 17th, got our tickets and can't wait for that :D

[Locke.]

We go up to 10th tomorrow if we beat Blackpool and Newcastle don't beat City.

Glad Sunderland got a point there.

[King Gizzard]

Heskey went off injured and that was the end of our fight

20-goal man injured :( heskey :(

[MissKittyFantastico]

First team to win at St. Andrews in over a year :)

Nice to see Moysey smiling again.

Oh and that was Timmy's 100th league goal - happy days!

[30stone]

Agbonlahor needs to come back..

And i ****ing hate van der vaart hope he fails soon...
Glad he got sent off.


Bramble clean sheet for sunderland against united didnt expect that..
and tim cahill scored so thats 7 +points for him.


Got Gerrard, johnson, tevez, sagna, a.cole and cech all playing tomorrow..

[Locke.]

Jovanovic considering leaving us already... Lack of starting games. Hope Roy gives him a start tomorrow because he is a good player, works hard, just hasn't adjusted to the league properly yet.

[bbfan1991]

Draw:(, however thats football totally unpredictable.

Karl Henry had to go for that challenge.. very reckless:shocked:

[DDRickyDD]

Sunderland were much the better team against Man United and were unlucky to only get a point. Everton got a good win at Birmingham. Tottenham came from behind to beat Villa with two goals from Van der Vaart. Wigan won a boring game against Wolves in the early kick off.

In the Championship, Cardiff got a good win at Oakwell despite missing a penalty. Bristol City went bottom after a 3-0 home defeat to Norwich. OPR move 6 points clear at the top with a 2-1 win against Palace at Selhurst Park. Middlesbrough gave away a 2-0 home lead against Portsmouth to only draw 2-2. Preston did well to hold Reading to 1-1 despite having a player sent off.

The big game in France between St Etienne and Marseille ended in a draw. Gignac opening the scoring for Marseille and Batlles equalised for St Etienne. Promoted side Arles Avignon stayed on 0 points after a 4-0 home loss to Champions League side Auxurre. Bordeaux beat Lorient 1-0 and Lyon beat Nancy in a 5 goal thriller.

Steve McClaren's Wolfsburg were held to a 1-1 draw by Borussia Monchengladbach. Hamburg overcame Kaiserslautern with two second half goals to win 2-1. Mainz continued their unbelievable start to the season with their 7th consecutive win. They are top of the league having played seven and won all seven. Not a bad start for a team tipped for relegation. The big match in Germany is tomorrow when Bayern Munich travel to Dortmund.

Only two games in Serie A. AC Milan moved to the top with a win against Parma thanks to a magnifcant goal by veteran Andrea Pirlo. Udinese beat Cesena in the other game with a last minute goal from Benatia.

Loads of big games across Europe tomorrow with Bayern going to Munich, Inter hosting Juventus and Chelsea playing Arsenal.

Karl Henry tackle and repugnant fat Sam


Here is the video showing Karl Henry's latest leg breaking challenge. Well done to Lee Mason for getting the red card out straight away, it's just a shame that the FA don't want to highlight this kind of violence by giving extended bans of at least six games, that's what this kind of recklessness deserves.

The most worrying thing is that Karl Henry seems to be aggrieved that he has been sent off, he seems to think he has been harshly treated and it should only be a yellow card. The amount of force that he has put into the tackle is truly frightening, it is just incredibly lucky that Gomes has come out of it without a shattered bone.

There were a few other poor tackles yesterday, N'Zonzi's straight legged lunge against Stoke stood out and deserved a red card for it's recklessness. Fat Sam's comments on bad tackling yesterday also showed just how regressive some people's attitude is. He talked of football being a game of eleven versus eleven and said that yellow/red cards were 'game spoilers'.

Fat Sam may think that leg breaking tackles are just mistimed accidents but that is just plain nonsense coming from a man whose team go out to make up for their lack of skill by being overly dangerous and aggressive. The 'game spoilers' are the likes of Allardyce and Pulis who instruct their teams to go out and win at all costs. The tackles that are so overly forceful and violent that they routinely break bones are the 'game spoilers'. Teams that play like fat Sam's need to be punished properly to wipe them out of the English game, the FA need to step in the punish reckless tackling properly. The fact that Karl Henry only gets a three game ban for his tackle is beyond a joke.

Yellow and Red cards are game spoilers.
No, you fat bastard, broken bones are game spoilers.
Great article..

[30stone]

Ian Wright
It was a rare bit of insight from the former Arsenal striker, which, with a bit more expanding will have gone a long way to belie his recently acquired "jester" tag. In the article he wrote: "In my opinion, the art of tackling is dying and many current Premier League players think they can tackle - but a great many can't. This is why we are seeing an increasing number of broken bones and ankle injuries." Certainly with the increase in the number of traumatic injuries and mistimed tackles it begs the question, just what has happened to the state of tackling and is, as Wright says, really dying?

It’s official, Arsenal have the most ‘babies’.

The Gunners were recently revealed officially as the average lightest and shortest squad in the Premier League while Sunday’s opponents Chelsea were found the tallest and heaviest at an average of 6ft 1 and 13.1 stone.

Indeed, those facts are of no surprise to many who have witnessed the Gunners buckle under physical pressure – mostly away from home.

And through the additions of the likes of Chamakh and Squillaci, Arsene Wenger seems to be gradually addressing Arsenal’s lacking physical factor, the main shortcoming opponents exploit against his side.

The opposition’s strategy to out-muscle Arsenal has grown ever since the departures of the physically imposing (and successful) class of Adams, Keown, Vieira, Gilberto, Pires and company.

Arsenal have beaten chelsea at stamford bridge more times than any other team..

Though i didnt realise the amount of injuries we have..


Gibbs
Van Persie
Walcott
Vermaelen
Fabregas
Frimpong
Bendtner
Ramsey
Almunia

lol, Fabregas is still injured but may be on the bench, Diaby is back luckily as we need the bulk of song and diaby in defensive midfield.

[30stone]

Yeah, and it was very… theatrical. I stood in front of your cameras (BBC) last week and discussed a tackle which left one of my players with a broken leg and he’s out for 6 weeks and the impact of that was far greater. It wasn’t as theatrical. Adlene didn’t go flying up in the air and, uh… we have a guy with a broken leg.

Today, it was theatrical. But it was a really reckless challenge. He didn’t need to make the tackle. I mean, he’s a fantastic guy Karl, he wants to help everybody. He could have helped us and himself if he’d have just stayed on his feet.

Why bring up the fact that Jordi Gomes was “theatrical” if not to try and minimize what your player has done? Why bring up the fact that your player has a broken leg when he wasn’t even in the game unless you want to try and shift the blame somewhere else? I think he catches himself doing this and that’s why he shifts back at the end there. But of course, as soon as he does that he has to say what a great guy Henry is.

Which is how he wraps the whole thing up after the BBC are done with him

He (Henry) is not that way inclined, he doesn’t kick people. There’s no problems with discipline and attitude at the club.

I’m sorry but it sure looks like he actually is that way inclined and in fact it is starting to look like with 4 losses in a row and 2 leg breaking tackles in 4 games there might just be a problem with discipline at Wolves. If McCarthy can’t see it, then maybe he’s part of the problem?




LOL Jordi Gomez was theatrical???? What kind of planet is this twat on?

How this man has only ever got 2 red cards in his career is beyond me.

[30stone]

England coach Fabio Capello has revealed that he is still unsure of picking Newcastle United youngster Andy Carroll but that Jack Wilshere features in his plans to play against Montenegro.

He also said Joe cole is in the provisional squad as is robert green.

[30stone]

Tevez penalty 18 mins.


Good for fantasy team.

But typical lucky city, would love Arsenal to win by getting a bit of luck but alas.. that doesnt happen with us just against us.

[30stone]

Newcastle Equalize!

[30stone]

Newcastle bossing it..


Man city will probably win on the counter.

Yaya toure looks nackered after half an hour..

[MissKittyFantastico]

Poor Ben Arfa :(

Suspected broken leg, he'll be out for a long while, feel sorry for the lad.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Urggh I can't stand the way Man City play, they really piss me off.

Come on you barcodes!!

[30stone]

I can see why some foreign players dont want to play in England..
Current players with broken bones

Ben Arfa
Valencia ( i know it wasnt in the pl )
Bobby Zamora
A Guedioura (wolves)
Hunt (Fracture)


Ones i can remember from last season

Nasri
Fabregas
Ryan Giggs
Ramsey

[30stone]

Newcastle are playing great this is an entertaining match.

[30stone]

Wonder if anyone would have put money on Torres scoring today, i can see it happening..

Liverpool actually looks like a strong team on paper, subs bench looks good too.




Don't believe city took barry off for johnson with milner playing awful..

[30stone]

omg...


The amount i hate adam johnson..

2 - 1


Argh i just want him to fail! Newcastle dont deserve that.

[setanta]

Do City look like scoring cuz I put a half time/full time bet on... draw and then win for city.

[setanta]

Oh, they scored. Nice.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Great goal from Johnson but I really don't want City to win.

Good for my fantasy team though :)

Newcastle have definitely been the better side overall, hope they can pull one back.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Torres coming off already with groin strain...oh dear oh dear.

[30stone]

Blatent penalty for Newcastle, Ref could easily see it, nothing given!!!!

****ing lucky city.


Given a penalty that wasnt a penalty.
then let off a blatent penalty!!!!

Argh i hate you man city!

[setanta]

Torres is off! He's my captain in the Fantasy thingy. God, I'm having an awful week again.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Blatent penalty for Newcastle, Ref could easily see it, nothing given!!!!

****ing lucky city.


Given a penalty that wasnt a penalty.
then let off a blatent penalty!!!!

Argh i hate you man city!

That was a shocking decision from the ref, totally blatant.

[30stone]

I cannot believe the favouritism..


"martin atkinson is above our top referee's"

BOLLOCKS after today hes one of the worst totally one sided..

[30stone]

Tevez is my captain i think so thats 5 + 5... not bad..

[MissKittyFantastico]

Martin Atkinson has always been one of the worst!

[30stone]

They really should be pulled up on this.. docked pay or something.

Because the penalty for tevez was 2 feet outside the box easily and he didnt even look at his linesman..


Least its good to see Campbell playing well.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Have switched to the Liverpool game fully now.

We :love: Ian Holloway and his Seasiders.

[Locke.]

Hodgson is the ****test manager ever, playing defensive football AGAIN, only this time it's against Blackpool. Come back Rafa, all is forgiven.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Great game this so far, Blackpool having a good go and end to end play.

Reina had to make a good save already.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Penalty to Blackpool!!

[MissKittyFantastico]

Yessssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[setanta]

Johnson is such a liability at the back.

[30stone]

Lol...

wow..

what channel?

[MissKittyFantastico]

I'm watching on ATDHE.net Ben, really good stream.

I've got a £5 bet on Blackpool to win at 10/1 :)

[setanta]

http://atdhe.net/25312/watch-liverpool-vs-blackpool

[MissKittyFantastico]

2-0!!!!!!

Haha this is ****ing amazing!!

[setanta]

I don't care about my bet on this match... this is bloody classic stuff.

[Locke.]

So laughable... If it stays like this and Roy isn't sacked before the next match then I'm not gonna be able to watch, we're such a disgrace.

[setanta]

It's not looking good David. Sure they haven't played well at all this season yet, right? United should have thrashed them.... dodgy times.

[bbfan1991]

Oh dear:shocked::joker:.

[Locke.]

We played quite well in the Europa League qualifiers, and against Arsenal in the opening game, other than that we've been awful... even when we beat Bucharest 4-1 a couple of weeks ago we played terrible and they actually deserved a point.

Hodgson seems to think playing defensive football week in week out is going to solve all our problems, which clearly isn't going to work when players like Gerrard and Meireless are better going forward. Poulsen is ****e aswell, having him as our defensive mid isn't going to help us.

[MissKittyFantastico]

So laughable... If it stays like this and Roy isn't sacked before the next match then I'm not gonna be able to watch, we're such a disgrace.

I really don't know what's going on with you lot. Do you think the whole financial/ownership fiasco could be affecting the players?

Imo you started going downhill at the end of last season though and Rafa should never have sold Alonso.

[bbfan1991]

I really don't know what's going on with you lot. Do you think the whole financial/ownership fiasco could be affecting the players?

Imo you started going downhill at the end of last season though and Rafa should never have sold Alonso.

Didn't Alonso want to go though?, but yeah I agree that the ownership etc is distracting for the club.

Must admit I had an smirk on my face seeing Phil Thompson's face yesterday on SSN when they showed the current PL table, he irritates me:laugh:.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Didn't Alonso want to go though?, but yeah I agree that the ownership etc is distracting for the club.

Must admit I had an smirk on my face seeing Phil Thompson's face yesterday on SSN when they showed the current PL table, he irritates me:laugh:.

I'm not sure Reggie tbh, I really rate/d him though.

Haha yeah I felt the same with that RS Alan Hansen on MOTD :hugesmile:

[MissKittyFantastico]

Have got the Liverpool game on stream and Arsenal on the TV now - I love Sundays :laugh:

Really want Arsenal to win but have Drogba (C) and Malouda in my fantasy team.

2-1 now! Liverpool pull one back.

[bbfan1991]

I'm not sure Reggie tbh, I really rate/d him though.

Haha yeah I felt the same with that RS Alan Hansen on MOTD :hugesmile:

I read rumours at the time that his family wanted to go back to Spain or something?.

Hansen is worse:mad:.

[Locke.]

Yeah Alonso wanted to go, so did Mascherano.

Soto :) 2-1... Still need at least 2 more goals

[30stone]

Good ol' Kyriakos.

[30stone]

Sagna is absolutely Awesome.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Johnson got away with that tackle there.

[bbfan1991]

If Blackpool win this they will rightfully get the credit like WBA got winning at the Emirates:).

[30stone]

Sagna yet again..

Just superb, fast strong read the game well goes forward well..

[MissKittyFantastico]

Liverpool are all over them so far this half, Joe Cole unlucky not to equalise.

[30stone]

It would have been helpful having Vermaelen and Fabregas in the side today and RVP..

If only..

[30stone]

Whats that show on sky sports this morning just talkign about todays games?


They all said that basically chamakh isnt good enough...
I was raging..

[MissKittyFantastico]

Yeah I watched that as well Ben, I really rate Chamakh, have got him in one of my fantasy teams.

[bbfan1991]

Yeah I watched that as well Ben, I really rate Chamakh, have got him in one of my fantasy teams.

I did see him on TV a few times playing for Bordeaux and he was impressive then:D.

[bbfan1991]

I added Lord Sugar on Twitter yesterday, he just did a tweet about the Arsenal game:joker:.

[30stone]

Yeah I watched that as well Ben, I really rate Chamakh, have got him in one of my fantasy teams.

they were saying we havent strengthened our squad when we have.

Squilaci is great
Kos is okay needs to read the game a bit better.


and chamakh has been simply immense and with how good wilshire has been..







Typical fabianski there.... just dropped an easy gathering..

[30stone]

I did see him on TV a few times playing for Bordeaux and he was impressive then:D.

These people (3 out of 4 of them) were making out that he just isnt good enough..

[30stone]

I dont know weather to put my Arsenal shirt on or not, last time i did.. i did second half for sunderland game..

[MissKittyFantastico]

The only thing Arsenal are missing is a world class keeper, when all your players are fit there aren't any weak links as far as I can see. Fabregas and Van Persie are just immense, love watching them play.

[30stone]

Arshavin knocking Ivanovic over that was quite funny then giving the ball away -.-

[MissKittyFantastico]

I dont know weather to put my Arsenal shirt on or not, last time i did.. i did second half for sunderland game..

Get it on Ben! I always wear my shirts at home if I can't go the game.

[bbfan1991]

Kygriakos to the rescue then:shocked:.

[30stone]

Sagna knocking drogba over as they go up for a header.. i love sagna lol.




that Ramires doesnt look fantastic..hes no lampard.

[30stone]

****! Arshavin shot so close!


Great save from cech.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Arshavin unlucky!

[30stone]

Arshavins face hitting essiens shoulder there... wasnt pretty, glad he was straight back to his feet.

[30stone]

Nasri just wide!

Terry was too close.

[30stone]

Them saying Chelsea miss their creative central midfielder in lampard..


and Arsenal miss the spine to their team..


Our best cb
Our best central mifielder
and most likely our best stirker..


along with players like walcott..

[30stone]

Clichy actually playing really well.


Dont want chelsea scoring in like the last minute of the game :( i have faith in Arsenal today though.

[30stone]

Good save from Fabianski.


Drogba fouled Clichy i thought though..

[30stone]

Mike Dean made a good decision so far has been pretty good so far..



Arshavin needs to make these shots count.

[alc09]

The only thing Arsenal are missing is a world class keeper, when all your players are fit there aren't any weak links as far as I can see. Fabregas and Van Persie are just immense, love watching them play.
The Barcelona match last season showed they have a very long way to go.

[30stone]

If our players wernt lightweight, i dont mean as in stronger just in that they get injured to often, if our squad had like 2 - 3 injures like man utd or chelsea then we would be quality.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Kyriakos needs to be careful.

Charlie Adam having an amazing game today.

[30stone]

Come on liverpool! Score.

Prefferably gerrard since hes in my team!!!


Did he make the assist?

[30stone]

Drogba you.. just.. ohh my.. i hate you when you play us..

[MissKittyFantastico]

No Ben, want the score to stay like this (Liverpool game) lol

Means they stay below us and I win about £55 :)

Ahhhh Drogba scores, good for my fantasy but come on Arsenal!

Gerrard got the assist on the Liverpool goal yes Ben.

[30stone]

Well i get points for gerrard then..
I want liverpool to come 4th..


And Arsenal need a goal, they gotta score for how well they played...



I have to say the ref has been good, but he is usually one of my hated refs...

[alc09]

Drogba....incredible player.

[30stone]

Loads of people saying if we dont beat chelsea thats season over...


Losing against arguably the best team in the league? surely you say that when you lose to west brom.. lol.

[30stone]

Malouda you dirty ***** on your own country man!

Dick

[MissKittyFantastico]

That was nasty.

[30stone]

Diaby ohhh my gosh..


That was terrible hisankle looked done for i hope hes okay we need him..

[30stone]

That did look a bit dodgy from essien then, he didnt want to touch the ball so no real need for that..

[MissKittyFantastico]

3 mins added on in the Liverpool game, hang on in there Blackpool!

[30stone]

Drogba is amazing.. has to be said..

[30stone]

Blackpool win! ohhh my!!!

[MissKittyFantastico]

Fabulous last minute save from Gilks!!

Blackpool win!!

Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

[bbfan1991]

Liverpool stifled by Blackpool...:spin:

[alc09]

Liverpool have too many average players - simple as that.

Their form is not surprising.

[MissKittyFantastico]

£55 in my pocket and still looking down on the RS in the table.

What a great day :)

Bring on the derby now on the 17th!

[30stone]

Question of the day.


Will Martin o' neil take the liverpool job if it comes available..

[bbfan1991]

Question of the day.


Will Martin o' neil take the liverpool job if it comes available..

He'll need a bulletproof vest and high blood pressure, tbh I dunno:p.

[30stone]

Liverpool have too many average players - simple as that.

Their form is not surprising.

Reina
Gerrard
J.Cole
Torres
Jovanovic
Meireles
Kuyt
Maxi..


They have too much for blackpool, they should still be winning that game at home..

[MissKittyFantastico]

Liverpool have too many average players - simple as that.

Their form is not surprising.

Sorry but that's rubbish. They should be pummeling teams like Blackpool with the team they've got, especially at Anfield.

Shocking result for them whatever way you look at it.

[bbfan1991]

Sorry but that's rubbish. They should be pummeling teams like Blackpool with the team they've got, especially at Anfield.

Shocking result for them whatever way you look at it.

Thats what was said about West Brom against Arsenal, virtually no chance of winning but the players got the result and surprised everyone.. unpredictability at it's finest:).

[MissKittyFantastico]

Question of the day.


Will Martin o' neil take the liverpool job if it comes available..

I think he'd be a fool to unless the financial and club ownership mess gets sorted out. I feel sorry for Woy tbh, the clubs in free fall and any manager going there now has got a mammoth task and will get little praise or slack.

[30stone]

The Arsenal is on!!!! Come on you Gunnners!


Embarrassingly Van Persie is on the back.

[30stone]

I think he'd be a fool to unless the financial and club ownership mess gets sorted out. I feel sorry for Woy tbh, the clubs in free fall and any manager going there now has got a mammoth task and will get little praise or slack.

Agreed.

I still like Roy though, Was amazing for Fulham :(

[30stone]

Thats what was said about West Brom against Arsenal, virtually no chance of winning but the players got the result and surprised everyone.. unpredictability at it's finest:).

Ohh course but like she said, that shouldnt happen, Arsenal and liverpool have the quality to beat west brom and blackpool and should do that.

[30stone]

Arsenal always have their best spell from just after Christmas..

Hopefully we do this season and win it!!!

[MissKittyFantastico]

Agreed.

I still like Roy though, Was amazing for Fulham :(

Yeah I like him too, and he's a proven manager with a great track record, I just think he went there at the wrong time with the club in too much of a mess and the fans maybe expecting too much too soon and will probably regret it. I hope they give him time to turn things around though, it's gonna be a marathon and not a sprint for Liverpool to get back to their best.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Arsenal always have their best spell from just after Christmas..

Hopefully we do this season and win it!!!

Same as Everton :laugh:

Last season we would have finished 3rd if the season had started after Christmas lol.

[30stone]

Nice pace and awareness form clichy, terrible cross...

[30stone]

That could have been a penalty...

Chamakh got to the ball, and Cech caught chamakh legs.. thats a penalty, light yes but it is..


Ohh well.

[30stone]

Arshavin and Jack Wilshire smallest wall ever lol...

[Omen]

http://atdhe.net/25320/watch-chelsea-vs-arsenal

[30stone]

Chamakh has been jumping above Alex constantly just wish he could get a proper shot.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Ahhhh come on Arsenal!

Just need a bit of luck....

[30stone]

Have to agree with andy gray :( sadly.

Without Fabregas and Van Persie, we arent clinical at passing and finishing in the final third..

[30stone]

Ahhhh come on Arsenal!

Just need a bit of luck....

We only get that when we are 3 - 0 up against like blackpool..

Never when we play the big teams :(

[30stone]

Could hear the Arsenal fans above the Chelsea fans there...



Kos definately got that.

[MissKittyFantastico]

We only get that when we are 3 - 0 up against like blackpool..

Never when we play the big teams :(

Fabregas makes such a difference for you got to admit, amazing amazing player.

It's the opposite with us, we seem to get some luck and play better overall against the big teams and not so much against teams we should be beating, although a lot of those teams do play very defensively tbf.

[30stone]

****!!!!!


sHOOT seriosuly no luck infront of goal, cech was in no mans land!!!


My gosh please get a goal, great from Arshavin he needs to do that more, Mikel cant keep up with Arshavins pace..

[30stone]

Anelka misses an open goal, theirs our first bit of luck!

[MissKittyFantastico]

Terrible mistake there, Anelka should have scored, open goal.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Anelka misses an open goal, theirs our first bit of luck!

:joker:

[30stone]

We have been the better team, sadly we dont have drogba to finish... :(

Van Persie most likely would have by now, people seem to forget the amount of class he has..

[30stone]

Clichy :(


On target please.

[MissKittyFantastico]

You're having the same problem as we've had most games this season, dominating the game but just can't finish.

[30stone]

Im really looking at Nasri to do something here..

[MissKittyFantastico]

Nasri looking good, either he or Chamakh will score soon...

[30stone]

You're having the same problem as we've had most games this season, dominating the game but just can't finish.

Yeah i know lol.

Arsenal have been dominant second half but Chelsea's defending is great..


Good play from nasri there..

[30stone]

Nasri looking good, either he or Chamakh will score soon...

Yeah, can never Rule out Arshavin on the break though...

I would love to see Chamakh score :(


Come on Arsenal 25 mins to go!

[30stone]

If we played like this against west brom it would have been 5 - 0 ...

Id rather have just put all effort into that game lol..

[MissKittyFantastico]

Yeah, can never Rule out Arshavin on the break though...

I would love to see Chamakh score :(


Come on Arsenal 25 mins to go!

Oh definitely, he was unlucky earlier...

I just can't see this ending at 1-0

Come on Arsenal!

[30stone]

Right foot of cole was offside :) Thank God.

[MissKittyFantastico]

:dance::dance::dance:

The derby is a definite 6 pointer now.

Happy with our goal difference :)

[30stone]

Oh definitely, he was unlucky earlier...

I just can't see this ending at 1-0

Come on Arsenal!

As long as its not 2 - 0 :bawling:


Me and my girlfriend had a argument on the phone for the first 10 mins of this match so im not in the best mood either ..


Arsenal losing always puts me on a real downer :(

[MissKittyFantastico]

As long as its not 2 - 0 :bawling:


Me and my girlfriend had a argument on the phone for the first 10 mins of this match so im not in the best mood either ..


Arsenal losing always puts me on a real downer :(

Aww Ben, don't take it on her lol

I know what you mean though, puts me in a foul mood, especially when you feel like you should have won.

It could be worse though, you could be a Liverpool fan :laugh:

[30stone]

Nasri omg... why doesnt he ever shoot? when we all know he can hit the target great..?


Lays it off to song to row Z it..

[30stone]

Aww Ben, don't take it on her lol

I know what you mean though, puts me in a foul mood, especially when you feel like you should have won.

It could be worse though, you could be a Liverpool fan :laugh:

Put it on her howd you mean?
We argued during the first 10 minutes (which i missed) we sorted it but i just didnt feel great afterwards as you do..


I could but liverpool fans know they are buggered... Arsenal were challenging top spot, losing to west brom drawing to sunderland.. and now chelsea its just wrong..


Really want to see us score at least one..

[30stone]

Wilshire just cant do them long balls like fabregas can...

[MissKittyFantastico]

Put it on her howd you mean?
We argued during the first 10 minutes (which i missed) we sorted it but i just didnt feel great afterwards as you do..


I could but liverpool fans know they are buggered... Arsenal were challenging top spot, losing to west brom drawing to sunderland.. and now chelsea its just wrong..


Really want to see us score at least one..

Ahhh I thought you were in a bad mood already because of the footy and then argued, you'll kiss and make up later ;)

Yeah the West Brom game was disappointing, but there's been some crazy results already and a long way to go yet. Like I've said before I've got a good feeling about Arsenal this season, you just need a good run of games and when you get your best players back you'll be fine :)

[30stone]

Well end of October the players we have back will be..


Robin Van Persie
Cesc Fabregas
Thomas Vermaelen
Aaron Ramsey
Manuel Almunia
Kieran Gibbs
Theo Walcott
Nicklas Bendtner

8 players back before november, will add freshness and they wont be as stretched with the amount of games..

Will be a different story, Walcott would make a difference today..

[30stone]

Come on Chamakh Make it count!




They are bringing Jay Emmanual Thomas on??


Vela???

[MissKittyFantastico]

Well end of October the players we have back will be..


Robin Van Persie
Cesc Fabregas
Thomas Vermaelen
Aaron Ramsey
Manuel Almunia
Kieran Gibbs
Theo Walcott
Nicklas Bendtner

8 players back before november, will add freshness and they wont be as stretched with the amount of games..

Will be a different story, Walcott would make a difference today..

Exactly. Don't be worrying too much yet Ben!

[MissKittyFantastico]

Chamakh nearly scored then ahhhhhhhhhh

Less than 10mins to go!

[30stone]

Didnt realise how tall Emmanuel Thomas was lol...

6 foot 3 i think..

[30stone]

cole shut up you ***** stop ****ing moaning!

[30stone]

Come on Fabianski show us your stuff!

[30stone]

Unstoppable.


My gosh :(

[MissKittyFantastico]

Oh ****.

What a screamer of a free kick from Alex.

Sorry Ben, thats it all over now :(

[30stone]

That would have gone through a ****ing brick wall..

[MissKittyFantastico]

**** me your wall is even smaller than ours lol

[30stone]

Well done Fabianski Defence went to sleep bring back the Verminator!

[MissKittyFantastico]

Good save there from Fabianksi to stop it being 3-0.

[30stone]

Id love just one concelation :(

[MissKittyFantastico]

Like they just said, we came back from 2 goals down against Utd in stoppage time its not impossible.

[30stone]

Argh Vela should have controlled that, could have been 2 - 1.. played right through..


Fabianski has been actually quality minus that first mis punch..

[30stone]

Least we injured two of the bastards..
Though i bet they arent injured.. just time wasting..





Unbelievable technique from Alex? No just wellied it lol and kept it down.

[MissKittyFantastico]

I hate to say it but I really think's it's gonna be Chelsea's year again.

Would love Arsenal to win it though or at least get second place above ManUre.

Speaking of Utd...

Everton boss David Moyes is lining up a shock move for Manchester United starlet Federico Macheda.

Moyes will sound out Old Trafford boss Sir Alex Ferguson about taking the 19-year-old on loan in a bid to bolster his mis-firing strikeforce.

Macheda knows he faces an uphill battle to make his mark on the United first team this season with Wayne Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov and Michael Owen ahead of him in the pecking order.

So, United may let the Italian out for a temporary period to build up his first-team experience.

Interesting :)

[30stone]

Bummer, my mood just gets worse...

Why did i book today off work.. id have been better off not bothering.

[MissKittyFantastico]

Good for me fantasy team wise with Drogba scoring as my captain.

Not so good for the predictions lol, only got 2pts from the Man City result.

[30stone]

Mum just comes back from and gives me a big bag of honeycomb, me and the missus made up through text..

Least theres something :)

[MissKittyFantastico]

Awwww bless ya :)

[30stone]

I love making up, just wish she was here because making up in persons always better.. :) lol..

[MissKittyFantastico]

Okay okay let's just leave it there shall we? :laugh:

[alc09]

Arsenal haven't improved their side for a while, they aren't going to win the league. Not a ****ing chance.

[30stone]

lol.


Hope Fulham do well this season my second favourite team..



Arsenal
Fulham
Everton
Birmingham

[MissKittyFantastico]

:) although Birmingham? :nono:

Everton


Arsenal
Blackpool (really want them to stay up)

My favourite teams.

[30stone]

Id like to see where chelsea would be without 9 players...

Van persie - Drogba
Fabregas - Lampard
Vermaelen - Terry
Ramsey - Zhirkov
Walcott - Malouda
Almunia - Cech

Arsenal passed the ball about well but never really made Cech make a save. Chelsea's defence was strong and that brilliant goal from Alex finished Arsenal off. Liverpool's poor form continued with a defeat at home to Blackpool. I can seriously see Liverpool 'doing a Leeds' and getting relegated in 3 or 4 years. Their next game, after the international break is against Everton (Who will be pumped up for it) at Goodison Park. An Everton victory will probably see the end of Hodgson's time at Liverpool in my opinion. Most people thought Blackpool would be in League One now going to Essex to play Dagenham & Redbridge or to Cumbria to play Carlisle but instead they are going to and winning at Anfield. Remarkable start from them. In the other match Man City didn't play well but they won and that's the important thing. What a player that Johnson is going to be.

In Spain, Mourinho's Real Madrid thrashed Deportivo 6-1 and Barcelona were held at home to Real Mallorca. It ended 1-1.

Inter and Juventus drew 0-0 in Italy. Roma lost at 1-0 at Napoli.

Borussia Dortmund beat Bayer Munich 2-0 with second half goals from Barrios and Sahin.

Arshavins shot was the best to challenege cech and at one point cech was in no mans land but we couldnt get a shot off... :(
