they are so embarrasing
Think its our time to win :blush:

Man Utd v Newcastle Van nistelrooy is on the bench again Saha starts

Newcastle fans are singing * Slands crap slands crap* in the crowd lol

Interesting afternoon.

Man United looked like they were going to make up a cricket score, after 12 minutes, but it ended 2-0.

Charlton won 2-1 v Boro, who put out a much changed team, 9 changes from the side who beat Roma.

Arsenal won 2-1 v Liverpool. Was closer than Arsenal would have liked missing so many chances, and Shabby Alonso was sent off for 2 late tackles. Gerrard made a backpass to Henry again!

But the biggest game is tonight, Juventus v Milan!

Oh and Heerenveen lost to Utrecht :nono: Ajax and PSV ended 0-0 :bored:

Who does everyone think will take second spot in the premiership then?

I think it will Man Utd because their 5 points clear of Liverpool with a game in hand and liverpool are out of form at the moment

I still think its going to be Liverpool but I hope Man U as my dad wont be happy round where I live they are all talking about Blackburn might be in Champions League but think Arsenal will snatch it

Don't know if anyones already said this .. but ..

RIP Jimmy Johnstone

Great defence from Boro last night. A tiny club like Boro, deserves alot of praise for dumping out a European Giant like Roma, especially as they were falling all over the place at the sound of the wind.

Looks like it's down to Arsenal and Boro in Europe for England this season.

Yeah Boro were great last night.

Talk about cheats Roma were diving all over the place especially that Mancini.

It was a great result for Middlesboro and what a header by Hasselbaink

Good to see 3 strikers scoring for Liverpool last night in that 5-1 thrashing of Fulham.

*Ahem* :joker:

Liverpool are still looking like being Chelsea's main challenger over the next few years.

Lol ok 2 points then but we still have 2 games in hand

I wasn't suggesting that we'd beat them in the race for 2nd. in the Premiership. We probably won't, simply because they have far more home fixtures left to play in comparison to us. It was the suggestion that we're 'out of form' at the moment that I found amusing. We beat Arsenal, knocked manure out of the FA Cup, lost 0 - 1 away to Benfica (when our dominance of the game should've had the tie wrapped-up there and then, by a good two or three goal margin), beat Man City, drew with Charlton, lost 0 - 2 to Benfica (we deserved a draw at least in a game that should've been merely a formality), lost 1 - 2 to Arsenal (only because of a last-gasp fluke, in a game we deserved to win), beat Fulham 5 - 1 (it could easily have been double figures), and beat Newcastle 3 - 1 (it should really have been double that). I don't think many teams in any league would mind having a run of form like that. And we're not five points behind with manure having a game in hand, we're two points behind and manure have two games in hand.

However, once the derby is out of the way, we've not got anything too challenging left, on paper at least. And manure still have Arsenal (H) and Chelski (A) to play, and I can't see them picking up anything more than one point from those two fixtures. They also play Bolton and Spurs away, and I'd expect them to pick up no more than four points. So there's seven points for manure to drop.

Remaining fixtures and predictions:


Liverpool

Everton (H) 3
West Brom (A) 3
Bolton (H) 3
Blackburn (A) 1
West Ham (A) 3
Aston Villa (H) 3
Portsmouth (A) 3

manure

Birmingham (H) 3
West Ham (H) 3
Bolton (A) 1
Arsenal (H) 0
Sunderland (H) 3
Spurs (A) 0
Middlesbrough (H) 3
Chelski (A) 0
Charlton (H) 3


Liverpool 80 points manure 79 points :thumbs:

I did write that when they lost to Benfica then Arsenal

FA Cup Semi Final Draw:

Chelsea v Liverpool
Charlton/Boro v West Ham

Chelsea v Boro final :tongue:

I think it will be Chelsea v West Ham in the final

Yeah prob same as Jamie but want Boro

George and Jimmy will ensure Boro will add a touch of Oranje to the final :tongue:

Along with Robben for Chelsea :tongue:

come on the blues

Steven Gerrard sent off in Merseyside derby, and deservedly so, what a fool. Good job England have the more consistent and more reliable Frank Lampard for the summer.

:laugh: @ Phil Neville

Did not see the 3rd Liverpool goal or Neville red card, so can't comment, but thought Van der Meyde's red card was harsh, as he was looking at the ball the whole time, and Beattie and Crouch were jumping like that all match, Think Mr Dowd was looking to even things up after Gerrard's red

ITH, the third goal was great. Kewell scored a cracker! :wink:

And Van de Mayde's red card was totallyy jusitified i think.

But, i'm jsut happyyy that we won especially with Gerrard being sent off so early.
