Do you still feel this way after this mornings game?


I do, sure I am angry that we were on the end of this one, but we often have been.

When people do keep going like Rooney they often get very irate the second or third foul and then get slated for having a temper.


Once again I can look to Arsenal Man U last season.

Unfortunate for Arsenal.

Things we have learned:

- The team is good enough for a title challenge.
- Rooney is leagues above Eduardo in the diving stakes. Excellent form.
- Almunia is sorta retarded.
- Diaby has worked on his game over the summer, and now is a threat in the air.
- No one has told Diaby the teams swap at half time.
- Song has been replaced by a player several times better than him, who is also called Song.
- Eboue has tilted from loved to hated, again.
- Arshavin is a darling.
- RVP is possibly the unluckiest striker in the world.
- Wenger is a legend.
- The FA refuse to criticise United fans for singing 'Sit down you pedophile', again.

How is Wenger a pedofile?

What are out chances for our next trip to the city of manchester?

I honestly have no idea.

The FA and any other governing body refuse to do anything against Man U.

It's an old chant, come up with by Tottenham fans I think. Mainly because they are classy, to do with the youth of the team - oh, and the raping of babies.

I would say if we play like that (mistakes aside) we will win at Man City. Just as we deserved to win at Man U.

I agree, was just saying to a mate who said we played like crap, which is a little bit true, we could have played a lot better but we out-played the other team, so thats all that matters, one loss isn't going to matter in the long run.

Although I feel Man City are going to be a lot more of a challenge than Man U were.

They haven't conceded a goal yet!

You sound like a netball supporter  "at least we won the third quarter" :)

This is sport how you played is irelevant it's the win that counts.

United will be pleased to have played so badly and still got 3 points

No, I'm talking long term here, Sure Manited got the three points but we played better than them, so out of the performances both teams put in, we should be able to go further than them.

Sure, there are many flaws in my logic, but what ever. :P

Also, I don't mind netball. :P

I bloody hate international breaks, and not just because it means we have to wait longer for more EPL, but because 99% of Arsenal come back injured.

Considering Ballack is possibly retiring after the world cup, that may be a problem, also that a lot of your players are 30+

But yea, Chelsea are actually my second favourite team, so I don't think this is quite fair, and is quite a stupid decision.

Shuddup Vego!

I can't see this sticking tbh, the whole transfer thing is a big murky mess. Of course you are going to feel out a player before you approach them ( homo's snicker now).

Fucking French should be grateful they aren't speaking German.

Couldnt have happened to an uglier bunch of cunts, imo.

Chelsea is now the team that couldnt. Money bags Man City have come in, all teenage, nubile and accomodating.

Chelsea is yesterdays news. But todays need for Adult diapers.

Meh, who do you support again?

We've lost away to Man U and Man city, both times we were unlucky, and both games could easily have gone the other way.

We are the only team to have gone up against two big teams, away.

I still know that Arsenal are strong, and come the end of the season, will be up there and challenging for the title.

it was hardly a crushing 4-2, there was no point where they dominated play, they just converted almost every opportunity that they got.

EDIT: In the next two months all the other big teams (Spurs, City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manure) have big teams face each other, and in the next two months the biggest team we go up against is Tottenham at the Emirates.

So while everyone else will be losing points, we should be capitalising on every game, from now until November 29th (Arsenal Chelsea) we should be able to get a maximum of 25 points. Then even the Chelsea game is at the Emirates aswell, so it is quite possible that we will draw or win that match.

TBH it seems as though no matter who is out due to what ever reason, we miss them terribly.

If we had a full strength team for most of the season, we could be quite good.

But yea, Chelsea seem to be the top dogs at the moment, even though they haven't gone up against anyone yet.
