Lucky goal for Park just before halftime. United dominating possession though. Fletcher, Nani and Patricia are all whinging girls blouses

And on a side note Big Sam just got the sack from Blackburn

 

[Warney]

haha i'd have to agree with the last comment, Evra and Nani fall over and don't get up but that was almost red card stuff on Webb's normal day with the Fletcher incident, he obviously threw his leg out when Fletcher was running past, if he got injured all s*** would hit the fan.. but apart from that pretty consistent refereeing..

 

[rishgoon]

Except it should of been a corner to us right before Park scored. Nasri didn't even notice

 

[Warney]

great win lads, bring on chelsea sunday!!

 

[rishgoon]

Ok finished beating the missus and kicking the dog...
Disappointing but not devasting. We'll be back on top come Saturday, with a long way to go. Great game again by Szczesny, hopefully he keeps his spot. United didn't let us play unfortunately. And against Arsenal, Park is turning into Drogba in disguise.
Good luck at the Bridge United, time for Chelski to find some form

 

[Warney]

or continue their excellent form over the past month and fade away miserably... Park is always there when you need him against the big clubs, and for god sake SAF, please get rid of Anderson...

I'm still going with a 3-2 win to United at the bridge on sunday..

Who are Arsenal playing?

 

[rishgoon]

Stoke. Hopefully the ref has his whistle handy early on. I can already see Cesc, RVP and co copping a kicking

 

[Warney]

wow, not on the EPL topic but was just reading that Wellington Phoenix Keeper Danny Vukovic is to join Glory next season on a three-year deal.. what is fergie smoking?
If Velaphi is benched all s*** is going to hit the fan with the fans! Sack Fergie i say!

Sad story
dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1338852/Rushden-Diamonds-goalkeeper-Dale-Roberts-hung-fiances-affair.html
Really top breed those Terrys.
RIP young Dale Roberts

 

[Warney]

wow.. those Terry brother's are trouble..

Good game last night, Berbatov is in the best form of his career..

Trivia Question that i heard earlier today (have a go Luke): What three players with the same surname in the EPL have scored this season??

 

[rishgoon]

First thoughts would be that its a 'fresh' stat after last night... so thinking after Carlton Cole last night, but he'd already scored this season, and Joe and Cashley have done bugger all.
If Taylor-Fletcher counts as a Fletcher, I'll go with the Fletchers after Steven Fletcher scored late last night to join Gary and that sook Duncan?

Big game tomorrow, United looking very ominous for the rest of the season though unfortunately. Berbatov looking like finally filling that 'Cantona like' potential...

 

[Warney]

Darren Fletcher mate, and no, as the trivia host said, Taylor-Fletcher doesn't count as a Fletcher.. Last guess and i'll tell you

---------- Post added 27-12-2010 at 06:36 PM ----------

ok the answer is the Johnson's. Glen (Liverpool), Roger (Birmingham) and Adam (Man City) have all scored at least once this season.

 

[rishgoon]

Ah righto. Heres one, in their history the Arsenal have only ever had one Australian play for them...Who?

 

[Warney]

Gordon Nutt in the 1950's i believe, didn't google it, had a look in an old Australian Football Book

---------- Post added 27-12-2010 at 08:14 PM ----------

Another Question for you Luke, How many Australians have played in the EPL since it began?

And how many Australians are currently playing in the EPL?

 

[rishgoon]

Well I had to google Gordon Nutt just quietly, and he was an Englishman. Did play in Australia though...
If you don't know, you might be surprised...

 

[Warney]

haha i assume he was a adopted Australian though, he must of lived here...

So How many Australian players are currently playing in the EPL? It's an easy one..

 

[rishgoon]

Mate I'll struggle here. Cahill, Schwarzer, Emerton, Jones, maybe another keeper, and prob some obvious ones...
