Holy shit! Moyes doing a positive good subsitution? Bloody hell he is learning...

 

[Carbonox]

Out of this players, who would you lot pick for fantasy team?

Edit: Thinking long term.

 

[faridmon]

We are just bloody awful. No creativity and the players don't even care to make a run. Pathetic.

 

[GorillaJu]

Ugh, horrible injury to Swansea's Neil Taylor from a clash with Odemwingie.

Kyle, out of those I would pick Long, but he hasn't scored this week or last so may not be the best choice.

 

[José Mourinho]

Close call between that and the one for taking your shirt off without a t-shirt underneath.

Hey I learned from my local league (MLS) that you still carded for taking off the jersey while wearing another one underneath.

Don't think it's so much about not having an under shirt. I believe it has something to do with the sponsors. Good screen time for them when a goal is scored and all that.

I have Kevin Davies at the minute, but part of me wants rid of him. Don't know what to do.

I'd narrow it down to di santo (he's a selfish bugger ), jones (decent record imo) and Davies (he takes their penalties)

 

[offshore]

Oh what a save from Given.

 

[sazabirules]

I knew Vellios would score his first PL goal today.

 

[faridmon]

VILIOS! Get in !


Tony hibbert with a quality cross.

 

[sazabirules]

That was some horrible defending. We're lucky.

 

[José Mourinho]

I was leaning toward Di Santo based purely on his points so far, but don't know that that's wise.

 

[Labadal]

QPR, get in there.

 

[Fry]

Cabaye is quality

Given is world class.

 

[Carbonox]

Cabaye is quality

Given is world class.

Given is my favourite keeper in football. So good.

God damn Newcastle, let's do this.

 

[faridmon]

That was some horrible defending. We're lucky.

We just switched off after we scoreed. We usually do that.

 

[offshore]

Still unbeaten. Can't complain.

 

[Hixx]

Villa look as bad as us...

 

[Carbonox]

Hah Barton being a dick against Wolves. How I miss him.

I'll take the draw against Aston Villa though. Still 4th, still unbeaten.

 

[Lunchbox]

QPR going to Europe

Told you all

 

[WrikaWrek]

Arselol

 

[GorillaJu]

Yaaay Swans! Wonderful display. Sinclair, Dyer and Vorm are fantastic talents

 

[rodvik]

Hah Barton being a dick against Wolves. How I miss him.

I'll take the draw against Aston Villa though. Still 4th, still unbeaten.

You should have won, we played crap. Maybe we had 20 mins of playing decent the whole game. We only scraped a point because of Given.

I have no idea what is going on with our tactics but how you can manage one or two chances on goal the whole game with our attacking line up I have no idea.

Sad, sad display. Fairplay to Newcastle whose fans were also louder than the home crowd.

Disappointing.

 

[Blackhead]

Oops Davies didn't take the penalty today. Thats all he's good for really.

 

[faridmon]

Derenthe. How does he work?

A bloody great goal. Quality signing there.

 

[sazabirules]

Nice, Drenthe got a goal too. I've never seen him play before coming to Everton.

 

[Fëanor]

Does anyone have a link for the highlights of the Arsenal game?

 

[Kermit The Dog]

Why are all the crap clubs scheduled on one night, and all the good ones scheduled on another? Doesn't make a lick of sense. Why will the Chelsea/United game start halfway through City v Wigan, forcing me to run back and forth in the pub like a trolley'd retard?

Why not have an interesting match like Liverpool v Tottenham anchor Saturday, and then Chelsea/United anchor the Sunday? AND IMPLEMENT FRIDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL FOR FUCKS SAKE.

Goodnight.

They're letting the teams who play in Europe play on Sunday. It's pretty simple.

Interesting match? You're a fool if you don't think there weren't any interesting matches today.

Yeah, Given was world class and stopped us from banging in a good couple more.

I don't think Newcastle fans should be awfully worried about our lack of top striker. Such an overplayed thing as well. We have players who can score. We would have put in a few goals today had Given not pulled off the performance of the day. Cabaye was sensational as per and could have had two or three himself.

What pisses me off is Pardew's decision to take off Best. Shola Ameobi can not do a single thing right. Best and Sammy Ameobi would have been a lot more comfortable going in to the last 10 minute barrage you suffered.

Unlike with most other sports, there's MULTIPLE COMPETITIONS at once eijit. Friday night football exists, usually Sky have a Football League Championship game on. But you won't get the top teams on Friday because of Europe/Cups in midweek. Plus you can't screen football between 3pm and 5:30pm on a Saturday on English TV. There's a blackout to protect the lower league teams. So naturally the more attractive games are moved into other slots so they can be on TV. This means Sunday/Monday.

Interesting by result, not premise.

Perhaps 'irrelevant clubs' is more apt a description... Yes, let's go with that.

Fair points. Cheers for the info mate.

Yeah Cabaye was amazing. Against a mortal keeper that one wonder shot should have gone in. Class shot.

God knows how the hell we are going to turn things around. I have no idea how so many good players in villas squad conspire to look so poor.

 

[Dark Machine]

Fair points. Cheers for the info mate.

No problem. It's a little known fact that there's never a 3pm Saturday game on TV in order to protect lower league attendance levels. I didn't know until quite recently. It's a ridiculous rule that should really be scrapped. With all the 'ways and means' to watch footy these days, people WILL stay home and watch United/Liverpool/Chelsea etc etc. instead of Grimsby Town IF they really want to. It'd mean a bit less moving around of fixtures as well, making it more convenient for fans that really want to go.

They even had to delay the screening of the Barca game last week by half an hour because of that stupid rule.

 

[Labadal]

Saw the Taylorincident. Ouch.

Learn from West Ham, and fire your manager. I've never understood the practice of hiring a manager immediately after he relegated a team from the premiership. If he wasn't good enough for that team, why on earth would he be good enough for your's? Villa are a far better team than Birmingham were last year, which probably rules out relegation - this year. McLeish is the new Souness.

Beware the old adage "Too good to go down..." it's one of the biggest lies in the game.

I personally think that Bent's goals will keep Villa above the scrap, but they need to find some form and a couple more players to ascend above lower mid-table this season.

Sadly it aint gonna happen. Our board have a tin ear, remember our first choice for managers was Wigan.... We didnt even consider bigger names.

Scared about the match tomorrow. Tottenham have given us headaches lately.

Agreed. We nearly went down last year Right now we are on just about the same points we were this time last year, and we havent played any of the top six yet.....

 

[offshore]

Cabaye should have scored at the end though. All he had to do was chip Given and it's a goal.

 

[Kweh]

Can't wait for us to go to Spurs in a few weeks :|

 

[Yen]

Funny how most of your fans didn't want Rafa Benitez then.

 

[Kozak]

I have no idea how good Santos is but I am still sure Mertesacker will be good in the long run for Arsenal. Give them some time to adjust before judging them, anything else would be silly.

But : loooooool arsenal.

Every Fenerbahce fan in this thread commented that Santos would approve Arsenals attack. Defensively your stuck with the same level as what Arsenal currently has.

 

[Ushojax]

Can't wait for us to go to Spurs in a few weeks :|

 

[Hieberrr]

Jeebus... Kaiserlautern's defense is atrocious...

EDIT: LMAO, what a goal! Haha
