2011/12 Barclay's Premier League Thread

is walcott losing speed? i saw kompany chase him down and then get in front of him...or is kompany just faster than i thought?

fantastic game. probably the right result aswell.
ramsey, walcott, djourou and arshavin, all very poor. metersacker looked lazy at the end aswell and the spanish kid miguel needs a fair bit of work.
not to say arsenal didnt make it a match. RVP offside? probably. whats the rule again...?
well done joe hart.
thats the most amount of crosses looking for a header ive seen arsenal play in since the graham days.
400 games for kolo toure. wasnt he the one who said africans are discriminated against?

 

[rishgoon]

Bollocks.
Made the most of their resources again.

Was a terrific game - real squeeky bum stuff! 3-2 woulda been a fairer reflection. Aguero missed two he shoulda scored with and City probably edged it in the number of chances created. It never felt safe though......awesome game and a very important win for us - thought Gareth Barry was our best player but I see Nasri got MOM! I think the City officials might have a good sense of humour there!

 

[sgt_pepper]

/\/\ i thought i saw that kompany got MoM? silva makes a good arguement for the honor aswell...

Good win for the team with the most over rated manager.

Cracking goal by Carrick. Always a tough win at Loftus Road.

 

[rishgoon]

The linesman should of got Motm...
City slightly better team on the night though

so you think he was onside? damn close...part of him was in front tho.

 

[rishgoon]

It was very close. About as close as Silva was for the goal.

You're looking through Wenger's eyes....

Silva frustrated me today - lingered on the ball with 3 players on him and lost it instead of making the pass...



Check this link out.....

Manchester United 2011-2012 Home - statto.com

Shows who we've all got left to play. Man U have played only 2 of the top 8 teams away from home and drawn them both. Arsenal aren't out of it as they still play all the top teams at home. City have played all the tough away games except Arsenal, Chelsea and the Spuds still have a lot of tough away games....
City have a lot of mid table away games vs Stoke, Everton etc left which they'll have to win but if they beat Chelsea, Man U and Spurs at home, teams will struggle to catch them....

 

[sgt_pepper]

/\/\ i think vermaelen stretching for the ball is the only thing playing silva on.
super finish from RVP tho. and it wouldve made for an awesome final 15mins.

Going a bit off topic but i stopped by a newsagency today to pick up the United magazine and saw a box of the new Match Attax on the counter. Haven't opened a pack for over 6 months but wanted to see what they were like and hoped i got some United players.. anyway. I got 4.

Pack 1: Wilshere Man of the Match
Pack 2: Odemwingie Star Player
Pack 3: Golden Moments- Most Midfield Goals 07/08 Cristiano Ronaldo.. UNITED (and when i thought it couldn't get any better..)
Pack 4: 100 Club....... WAYNE ROONEY

To make my return to card collecting better i also got De Gea and Cahill base

Wilshere is for sale

 

[rishgoon]

Nice break Warney. 100 club from 4 packs is pretty good.
I might get that Wilshere off of you. Only for sale, or keen to trade?

 

[Warney]

Depending on what you have mate?? What United stuff do you have?

 

[rishgoon]

I'll have a look either tonight or tomorrow night and send you a pm.

 

[Harsha_12]

if its 100 Attack then how much is his defence? cause i know Gareth bale is 101 at both. In last years Match Attax i got the Rooney 100 Club from a Tin and It was 101 defence and 101 Attack. The Year Before that i got the Fernando Torres 100 Club which was 101 defence and 101 Attack

also picked up these..

Star Signing Shay Given
Man of the Match Paul Robinson
Man of the Match David Hoilett
Golden Moments- Tim Sherwood- PL Champions 94/95
Golden Moments- Robbie Fowler- Fastest EPL Hatrick

 

[ljandkg]

Rovers vs Wanderers today with the loser surely going down and their gaffer getting the sack. Both defences are pathetic, but so are their attacks - I'm thinking a boring 1-1!!

 

[sgt_pepper]

/\/\ you confused me there, because wolves (aka wanderers) are also playing today. vs norwich.
both teams let in at least 2 goals a game, so im thinking there may be a winner involved. but boring none the less. these are tha games at the end of the season that are usually the most exciting tho.
i cant believe both these dudes are still managing these teams.
only team to ever be bottom at christmas and not be relegated?
is 40 points still the benchmark?

 

[ljandkg]

It is for City fans! Haha! lways glad to get to 40! I think Kean will go, Coyle has a bit more rope...

 

[sgt_pepper]

suarez gets 8 match ban. a little harsh i think.
technically he did break the rules, but when evra's united team-mates call him the same thing, i think 8 matches is a little over the top.
they also asked him to empty his pockets, and he was fined the loose change he had in them (40k pounds).
longest ban in england for 15 years (cantona's kung-fu kick). longest ban in england ever for a racist comment. in fact i cant find a single other occasion where anyone has been banned in england for racist comments.

mancini tells milan: no. big suprise there...
webb will be reffing in euro. unbelievable. probably so england have at least a sliver of a chance.
