Weekend Games

[-Heart]

Who's your team playing?

We've got Chelsea away. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. I just want to get this hammering out of the way, and then move on to our game of the season so far next week.

[AlexOC]

Liverpool.

Really hope we win, if we do i can see us finish in top 4.

[Tash.]

Man City, I think we're ready for them.. even without nando! Imo the top 4 will remain the same 4 that have always been there.

[AlexOC]

Man City, I think we're ready for them.. even without nando! Imo the top 4 will remain the same 4 that have always been there.

I disagree.

The top 4, this season, is seriously under threat.

you should be happy for 6th (with tottenham snapping up 5th)

[Geraint]

Barnsley away.

Super Kev is back. :D

[Browney]

I disagree.

Nah! What was last week, 5 draws in 5? Not exactly top 4 form yourself. It's still possible, very possible for Liverpool to get that 4th spot. I think, City's metal will be tested, and it's then that the difference between an average team playing well (Liverpool) and a team of excellent mercenaries will be shown. Liverpool will play for each other and City will play for money.

[Jack.Lfc]

Manchester city.

[Jordie]

Cambridge at home. Hopefully as good as the one at their place earlier in the season. 2-0 down at half time with 10 men, came back to win 4-3, thats the spirit;)

[BoomItsClowgon]

Got the Evertonians... shoud be a walk in the park tbh... This is probably been one of Everton's worst season in the prem and domestically.

4 - 0 United

[Andys]

Manchester city.

That's embarrasing.

Arsenal at hope, looking for a draw tbh.
Van Persie out for them
Jones, Cattermole, Turner, Gordan out for us :eusa_sile

[brandon]

Southampton away

[Arron]

got everton.

canny not wait for city and liverpool

[CHA!NGANG]

Sunderland. Even with our injuries we can still field a great side. Only big problems are LB, the bench being weak and Eduardo needs to finish off his chances tomorrow. Can see alot being made and not alot finished. Still I say 3-1 to us.

[lBlue]

Liverpool away, should do 'em.

Anyway, my last accumulators for a few weeks. Decided to clean out my account because I've gotten bored of them recently so taking another break. Removed all the money apart from £6.05 which I won from Swansea tonight. Not too fussed if I don't win these which is why I've stuck £4.05 on a single selection.

Man City, Man United, Chelsea, Inter (£4.05) Winnings - £44.10
QPR, Leeds, Rotherham (£1) Winnings - £9.88
Charlton, Chesterfield, West Ham, Sevilla (£1) Winnings - £13.41

[Smits]

Villa at home. Hoping for a win but will be very tough.

[Jack.Lfc]

Liverpool away, should do 'em.


You should be doing everyone, but your not, like us.

[Black_Apalachi]

You do know what domestic means?

Anyway, QPR at home.

Yeh i thought that :/

Yes... :P

Mature? What's that got to do with anything? When you're in the football stands anything goes, hell we had a inflatable paddling pool at Stoke away when it first started.

To put it in perspective against Hamburg we had a inflatable penis and stuck a picture of Fergie on it.

It's a laugh when you're at the football and when you score it's mental. Sorry if you rather we take a flask and blanket. :(

[BoomItsClowgon]

Lol flask and a blanket.. :P saying that, it will be very cold today, might take both and watch the game.. where i'm sitting it will be very cold. ;) :eusa_danc

[Browney]

No central heating babes?

I think we could beat Arsenal, 2-1! :eusa_danc

Nope.. :'(

[leah]

we got brighton

[AlexOC]

Liverpool 2 - 2 City

From going 1 - 0 down this looks like not a bad result, but considering we were 2 - 1 up for 74 seconds then threw our lead away theres a feeling of dissapointment :(

But hey! we've equaled our consecutive draws record. Woohoo!

[StefanWolves]

Just saw the team vs Chelsea, 3-5-2... what the hell is McCarthy thinking? no Doyle, playing Surman + Halford + Jarvis, no Kightly? Ebanks the only striker playing? whatthe hell is he playing at?

My prediction, 5-1 Chelsea.

Absolutely furious with this team. Pathetic.

sunderland :D

bring on the bent

[Black_Apalachi]

I should have said 'subtle' rather than 'mature' although I think you all missed my point anyway :P.






LUCASSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 11111

[AlexOC]

Bad miss by Lucas.


3 - 0 Chelsea. -Comforts Wolves,-

[StefanWolves]

McCarthy needs to be sacked, simple. **** him off, totally ****e.

[AlexOC]

McCarthy needs to be sacked, simple. **** him off, totally ****e.

i like his hair.

[Ardemax]

well Alex, if he has good hair, then yeah, they should keep him, no doubt about it.

[leah]

we're 2-0 up atm

[AlexOC]

well Alex, if he has good hair, then yeah, they should keep him, no doubt about it.

well how else would you judge a manager, on his performance?

that would just be stupid.

[Ardemax]

oh yes it would!

just let common sense prevail, that's what i say

[Black_Apalachi]

McCarthy is the coolest manager in the prem

[StefanWolves]

*Removed*

[CHA!NGANG]

Not looking good lol. 1-0 down with 20 mins left. Not impossible as we have shown before but not looking like a good game for us. Bring on Walcott is what I say.

[Ardemax]

10 mins left now

still 1 down :(:(:(

[Jack.Lfc]

Lol, all are players going for horse placenta treatment, dirk kuyt should be given horse ****e treatment.

[Smits]

We got a good result, 1-1 with villa. We dominated them throughout, they were lucky to score 4 mins from time :(

[adaym]

Well there you go.

[-Heart]

Chelsea 4-0 Wolves

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lBlue]

Well there you go.
*****.

[Jordie]

Luton 2-2 Cambridge

2 up with 10 to go. managed to let them score and give away 2 penalties. 1 saved and the other scored in the 93rd minute. so p***ed off:@

[adaym]

*****.
Excuse me.

[brandon]

Southampton 2-2 Norwich City

Looking forward to the extended highlights on The Football League Show

[lBlue]

Excuse me.
I've decided I do care if I lost my accumulators, I chucked money away this morning because I was in a rush to meet a couple of Scouse fans. I am not happy with Doncasters antics today!

[adaym]

Played them off the park.

None of mine came up either so it's alright.

[lBlue]

Played them off the park.

None of mine came up either so it's alright.
Not fussed really, it was only the winnings from Swansea which I fluked. Just a bit sour about chucking away £40 because we have an incapable RB and LB.

[Browney]

Sunderland. Even with our injuries we can still field a great side. Only big problems are LB, the bench being weak and Eduardo needs to finish off his chances tomorrow. Can see alot being made and not alot finished. Still I say 3-1 to us.

:eusa_danc:D;):P

Europe, here we come.

[CHA!NGANG]

Shhh :( From what I heard we missed RVP a lot lol. Saying that I think Arshavin should have started instead of Rosicky/Nasri and then subbed off later.

[Ardemax]

we need some more strikers :(

[BoomItsClowgon]

Great performance put in by United! Keep playing like that boys on your on course for a 4th consecutive premier league trophy. I think we should stick to the team we fielded out today, Rafael ahead of O'Shea, him and Evra played well on the flanks today. Valencia was awesome, we need to bring in a winger in January, Giggs still got magic in him but it's leaking.. :P

Replace Owen, with the magicficiant Berba.

I'm starting to feel what fletcher is bringing to the team, probably one of the best performances I've seen him play in a United shirt.

Too finish off an awesome day, we won £120 by placing a £10 bet that we will win 3-0. So it's all good. :D

[CHA!NGANG]

Hm, well in that front 3 role we can play:

RVP, Arshavin, Eduardo, Nasri, Rosicky, Walcott, Bendtner and Vela.

That's 8 for that position which normally should be enough, however: Eduardo, Nasri and Rosicky were all injured pre-season and are still not match fit and as sharp as they should be. Vela and Walcott have just come back from injury today and RVP and Bendtner are both injured now. The only one that has been fit throughout this season has been Arshavin.

Saying that, RVP, Eduardo, Vela and Bendtner are the only out and out strikers we have and maybe we could buy Chamakh (sp.) on the cheap.

We have some good strength but a lot of injuries, I mean just look at our numbers:

GK - 3
Defenders - 10
Midfielders - 7/8
Forwards - 7/8

The 7/8 depends on where Nasri plays.

So we have 28 First team players but I'd say a few more wouldn't hurt. I've said before that if we signed:

Maybe a new GK
Hangeland (CB)
A natural LW as we have none.
Chamakh (ST)

Then we'd be ready to win some big trophies like the CL/Premiership.
At the moment we'd probably be able to win the FA Cup, Carling Cup and comfortably get in the top 4. If we made those changes in January then who knows, as long as we are within 5 points of Chelsea by then, then we could catch up. Saying that, at the moment we are 8 points behind Chelsea with a game in hand, and we play them next week. If we win next week then we are 5 points behind them with a game in hand which is a good position.

[Ardemax]

I don't think it will be united's year this year.

But ye agreed with CHA!N, can't wait for wenger to bring up some young's/buy some ppl

[BoomItsClowgon]

It's all good. I'm confident... we really play amazing in the second half of the season and the last game we played Chelsea, we played good and this game, Everton, where we played the best football so far this season. If we keep it up, we can do it.

Got a feeling Chelsea will slip up by/after the new year. Players going away to A Cup of Nations so fingers cross eh. :eusa_danc

[CHA!NGANG]

You say that buy who's going? Essien, Drogba, Mikel and Kalou.

There defence isn't effected and Chelsea have proven they can play without Drogba, for example today and the CL and he will be a loss but they can cope without him. Kalou doesn't really play much for them and Mikel doesn't either yet. Essien will be the big loss to them though but they have: J. Cole, Malouda, Zirkhov, Lampard, Ballack, Deco all in midfield that can do a good job but the problem they will face is that there will be less balance to the team which is why they might buy a holding mid or loan one or just put Alex or someone from the defence in the holding role for a bit.

The ACON won't have have too much of a problem on them, trust me.

[adaym]

Chamakh would be a flop in PL.

[CHA!NGANG]

Chamakh would be a flop in PL.

Should only cost £3-5 Mill so it's worth a punt. If not he'll be free at the end of the season. I'm sure if AW is intrested in him then he must think he'll be a decent striker to play in the PL.

[Andys]

Arsenal played some great football, and outplayed us for the majority of the game. At the end of the day though, the aim of the game is to get the ball in the back of the net not pass it about alot.

Cana was incredible today.

Well Drogba and Essien will be a huge huge lost to the team. Two very important players for Chelsea.

Even though, they have two good players in Ballack and Deco, Essien and Frank really is the best suited partnership in midfield for Chelsea. Saying this, i don't think they will add an addition in CM as they have both Deco and Ballack to cover.

While with Drogba, I've got a strong feeling Chealski will snap up Sergio
Aureo from Athletico Madrid in Jan window. Would want him to come to United but i can't see this happening. :@

[Tash.]

I disagree.

The top 4, this season, is seriously under threat.

you should be happy for 6th (with tottenham snapping up 5th)

Erm.. oh look, team full of big money signings, still couldn't win. Shocking.. oh wait, no it's not. Man City can buy all they want, it won't buy them the winning mentality you get with experience of winning trophies. I think thats been shown by 5 straight draws from a winning position.

Like someone else said, it's just stupid to suggest we won't make top 4, effectively we're 2 points off top 4 right now, and it's november. I might agree with you if we had full strength teams and our results we're the same as they are now, but as you can probably tell we're nowhere near full strength. Our injury problems are not getting any better, I was seriously worried when I saw Benayoun come on this afternoon, who knows what damage could've been caused by that appearance. I seriously hope it was none, we don't need him out for any lengthy spell. If we can just get the majority of players back into fitness sometime soon, go on a spell of wins (no matter how we get them) we'll be up there as usual.

Top 6 in order by the end of the season:

Chelsea
MU
Arsenal
Liverpool
Man City
Tottenham

Unsure about the bottom 2 actually, Spurs might just get ahead of them, their squad is huge.

[Geraint]

Barnsley 1-0 Cardiff

Another world-class performance from our squad full of Premier League stars in a match that will be watched forever due to it's quality.

Yeah, right.

93rd minute deflected free-kick after Hudson thought he was Henry.

Chelsea
Arsenal
Man Utd
Spurs/Liverpool
City

Is more accurate. If anyone is going to get into the top 4 this season outside the big 4, it's gunna be Spurs, not City.

[CHA!NGANG]

Chelsea

City

Hm.. Spurs I just can't see making it to the top 4. But then again I can't see City either. I think it'll stay the same but the order will be different.

Chelsea, Arsenal, United, Liverpool. That's the order I think.

I think that the CC will be won by Chelsea.
The FA Cup will be won by Arsenal or United.
The Champs League will be won by a Barca or Madrid but Chelsea will make the semis with Arsenal I think.

[Black_Apalachi]

Lol, all are players going for horse placenta treatment, dirk kuyt should be given horse ****e treatment.

Harsh. I would agree for Lucas and Insua.

I know walk on with hope in your heart and all that but I can't see us even getting 4th. Whenever we manage to get a fully fit first XI, I'll change my mind.

First half an hour today was a joke. We had 10 men for most of it!

[-Heart]

Even though your still 5 points behind Chelsea? Y'no Chelsea, that team that beat you 1-0 that time?

[Ardemax]

when Arsenal play Chelsea I can either see them winning by a couple of goals or a draw.

[CHA!NGANG]

wth Spurs. 9-1. Wigan need to sort it out :P

[Smits]

*** ARE WIGAN DOING

[AlexOC]

9 - 1, Lmao.

[Tash.]

I know what you're saying, right now its hard to see where the goals & points are coming from but it will change when the players we rely on are fully fit. Right now we're just weathering a very bad storm, and i'm sure it'll right itself by the end of the season.

Admittedly it would help if our players would quit banging into each other and getting injured but y'know. After today though, Spurs I reckon will finish above Man City, but I sincerely hope its not above us, I just couldn't take it :(

[Black_Apalachi]

HESKEEYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

love it when he scores :D
