Bloody hell, he wouldn't be very old I'm guessing. Worse than the Bronx around WHL!

But big ups to him - he's clearly a great bloke :lol:

Chelsea lead the shots on goal 12-4

That's because they had a generous liner who managed to miss two offside goals.
Got to say it switched it off at half time. Sick of the poor decision making by the the maggots. Rooney's blatant foul on Sturridge off the ball was poor and completely unpunished.

Watched Arsenal last night and the line running was abysmal.


Staggering anyone would switch off at half time due to a few decisions you didn’t agree with. This was exactly the type of game which makes the premier league the most exciting league in the world to watch IMO. This game had it all – quality finishing, poor misses, end to end action all game. I would have thought this would have been the perfect game for a neutral to watch.


I'm staggered that you find my decision to switch off staggering. ;)
I don't have much time for EPL as most of it is crap. So when 2 poor decisions effectively kill the game I don't see much point wasting more of my time watching. As for me not agreeing with the decisions, I think they were both made very clear in the half time analysis and both were shown to be offside. I don't think there could be any dispute there mate.

i switched off when nani scored. Brilliant goal take nothing away from it but did not want to watch them winning. Seen enough of it in my life time.

like i said, i dont think Man united have gotten any better then last years, it seems that the teams that are normally around them seem to have lost players and not gelling well and have dipped in form which in tern is making them look world beaters.

cant wait for the manchester derby

Best 3-1 loss I have ever seen, Chelsea where on top, just couldn't finish, besides his F'N miss Torres actually played well, AVB also had the balls to take lampard off at half time cause he just wasn't playing well enough. Ramieres was very good, beside his chance he should of left for sturridge to hit also he DID NOT touch nani for the penalty so the fact Rooney is what it deserved. However weather it be offside or not, you have to play the whistle and the fact that JT was the only one to drop back was woeful defending and that was major problem most of the game.

Not the best result but we still got 33 games to change the issue.

The funny thing about Torres' miss was his goal was actually a very classy finish yet he managed to cock up the easy.

Mancini having a whinge that he doesn't have enough midfielders now.

Liverpool defender Daniel Agger to miss a month with broken rib. With Skrtel and Adam to serve suspensions it leaves Liverpool a bit light on

I was just discussing my mob with a (Manc *cough* bastard) mate yesterday, and IMHO the Reds have followed a multi year plan with their off-season player movement, and next off-season will surely have to see the primary focus fall on our defenders.

Really at his age, in a decent team, Carra should be no more than a bench player that puts out spot fires here and there ... Skrtel is a very average player and Dagger for all his ability, has had enough time at the club and I think we need to cut our losses on him as his body is just too frail.

In Skyrtl's defence, he was played out of position at the Lane and was run ragged by the Bale/BAE combo. Skyrtl's a CB, not a FB. I actually think he's not too bad when at CB.

But I am used to average players and medicrity :lol:

Bet you guys are pissed we pinched Jones from you at last minute. He has absolutely blown me away with how good he is, looks a long term prospect and future captain(until real madrid pinch him)

not a bad player, but could be a shining light in a team that is full of confidence at the moment. Will see how good he is when the schedule starts getting to a game every 3 or four days,
