2010/11 Premier League Thread

Hows Aluminium hands looking? He's looking like he could star in a soccer adaption of the movie Dazed & Confused, that's how he's looking. Out for tomorrow mornings game in Belgrade with an 'elbow injury', and quite possibly will never play for the Gunners again. With all the injuries have stood up well so far, but might just be reaching the limits of our 'depth'. I won't list all the injuries (not enough room). BUT no excuses, didn't fire, and West Brom came to play

and just a friendly side note for all the Fulham supporters, apparently Schwarzer had a blinder against the Toffees...

Tell u what - I'll swap u Given for Fabregas!!!

Sold. You'll have to cover medical costs though to get that Dr. Xavi diagnosed Barcelona out of his DNA...
Seriously, if Mancini is true to his word and will let Given go in January, would love to see him at the Emirates, definitely ahead of Schwarzer. Long time between now and then though

Go to a soccer site to find them. Warney does a decent job and the rest of us just give each other crap.

3-1 to The Arsenal there Warney

 

[Warney]

oh geez!! Must have got a progress score from a site that hasn't been updated!! FIxed it.

 

[Warney]

great win to Tottenham last night, while i'll take a 1-0 win over Valencia even though we didn't have a great match.. We top our group though.

Was watching the Inter Milan match, Eto'o was so lucky not to have his leg broken during the fourth and final goal, what a reckless attempt to stop him by the Werder Bremen keeper..

 

[rishgoon]

No Rooney for a few weeks, injured or getting that rash checked out that he picked up recently??[-X
Man IOU would be hoping Berbatov stays in form...

 

[Warney]

got FIFA 11 today guys, great looking game if you are interested in buying it..

Europa League tonight, Liverpool and Man City both play.

what time is liverpool in Perth time

 

[Warney]

UK times are all the same, they are 7 hours behind us. So if it is a 15:00 start UK time it is 10 pm here.

Liverpool with a bore draw away, City with a 1-1 draw with Juve at home. Adebayor played 70 minutes for City which is good - looked rusty which isn't good!. Magic Johnson scored our goal from a great pass from Yaya - Juve scored with some guy hitting a thunderbolt!
Looking forward to the EPL this week. We play Newcastle who have been great away and crap at home! We're playing them at home!!!

Man. United 0-0 Sunderland?? Come on.....

 

[ljandkg]

Sunderland are for real - they've had the toughest start to any team in the league - they've played City, United, Arse and Liverpool in their first 7 games and not lost to any of them. United were 2nd best from what I read, just like City were a few weeks back playing them...

 

[Warney]

season over now could you say? Four draws!!

 

[ljandkg]

You're not giving up already are u mate??

Personally I can't see United winning the title. Chelsea are too clinical against most of the teams - City beat them with power and patience but not many teams can defend like City. I don't think we'll win cos when teams sit back against us, our 4-5-1 formation doesn't create enough chances. Basically if City get a lead we'll win. But getting a lead is the problem. Hopefully Balotelli will make a difference.
United are leaking goals too much and I think with their young stars they have, maybe they'll be a better team next year, especially with Rooney currently playing like dog turds....just think they'll drop too many points.

Arsenal are still a chance but seem to struggle against the stronger bully boy teams - will see how they go against Chelski tonight - they got smashed by them twice last year.

 

[Tigers Maniac]

It's not season over - but I reckon United need to buy a more creative midfielder in the January transfer window and also promote some of the reserve players up to the first team squad and get some players back like Mame Biram Diouf + Danny Welbeck that have been on loan. Formation is a problem - it needs to be 3-4-3 not 4-4-2.

Like this (starting line-up)
Van der Sar
Ferdinand Vidic Evra
Nani Scholes Fletcher Giggs
Rooney Berbatov Owen

They definitely need a player like Iniesta for example to cretae more chances when the midfield goes forward.



Berbatov - Rooney - Owen - Hernandez - Macheda

All awesome players and all need game time. Maybe they could drop Macheda back to the reserves for a while and then they wouldn't have to waster two/three subs a match on forwards......

 

[ljandkg]

City win ugly, Liverpool lose again. and Chelsea stuff the Arse....Another great week for City with us now 2nd in the league. Newcastle were a bit unlucky and certainly look like they have a enough to stay up.
