Football this weekend

[0rang3peel]

So then... footballs finally back two weeks seems forever.

Arsenal - Norwich just kicked off

and there's some juicy games, my beloved Swansea are taking on united and the clash of newcastle/city both the leagues unbeaten teams something surely has to give?

I think with Newcastle we will either fold like we used to and city will beat us by alot or we will some how luck out a result (draw)

Im a chelsea fan, but gonna be supporting newcastle today! :y: I cant see it being a draw, just hoping man city show a bit of inconsistency... :homme:

Shame that Tiote wont be playing for us today. He marked Fabregas and Rooney out of the games last year and we could do with him on Silva today as well :n:

Good news that Cabaye is back though. Hopefully Ben Arfa will start behind Ba in a 4-5-1. Cant see us getting anything here but it would be nice to sneak something and hope that the antics of fat Ashley off the pitch haven't affected the team.

Newcastle to win c'mon !!

The big game for me is on sunday,Chelsea v Liverpool to close to call,i`m a Reds fan.

[Benboi89]

[CEdwards]

3 points for the Gunners :) Hope liverpool and chelsea draw and man city smash newcastle

silvas not starting for city which is delightful

I put him as my star man in my dream team for this week too :wall:

Oh well, a Newcastle win would be better than dream team points anyway!

[0rang3peel]

gawd damn mario.


how strange is this -

Incredible story from Germany where the Bundesliga match between Cologne and Mainz was called off 40 minutes before kick-off after the referee tried to commit suicide. Babak Rafati was found in his hotel room less than two hours before the scheduled start time. The 41-year-old is in hospital and his condition is unknown.

[Sophia_Bush]

oh well hope it stays under 5 lol

[Peter_D]

I'm in a cunt of a mood today and watching this match isn't helping....we're losing 2-0 and the stream i'm watching keeps fucking skipping, it buffers like every 10 seconds and then occasionally catches up with itself by leaping like 2 minutes ahead.....dunno if i can even watch the 2nd half it's making me even angrier

[McGuire86]

Two goals, two mistakes from Ryan Taylor. Think that gives Pardew an excuse to bring on Santon.

[0rang3peel]

RT to blame for the goals, everyone makes mistakes but surely no way back into this one now away from home. I wouldn't bring on Santon as it will just shatter RT's confidence

[McGuire86]

Fuck sake fucking Ben Arfa

[GJF47]

Tbh the scoreline hugely flatters City. We have had enough clear chances to have at least been level before the third goal. 2 pens and a mistake by R. Taylor have cost us.

[Sophia_Bush]

meh we lost to the team at the top who are on form tbh we had to loose at some point but I'm looking ahead be happy to finish the season in top 10 this year

[CraigLovelock]

Ah, saints won again... 20+ home games without losing...

Yep I didn't expect to get anything today tbh. The performance was good though. Not sure about Utd at Old Trafford next week a I think we could get something against Chelsea at home.

[swampy]

Just waiting on utd for a nice £1 a line yankee
and inter to stay ahead for euro 31 line bet at .25p a line.

How i would love to say "dream on". But the way we (chelsea) are playing recently... :(

[0rang3peel]

having watched motd, we had a few chances actually which is usually more than most get at eastlands, ben arfa looks sharpish aswel.

so chin up toon

[McGuire86]

Exactly.

And to go there with no Tiote, Obertan, Marveaux and Best, 3 or 4 of your first team players and deserving a maybe a draw with two of their goals penalties. Just shows where we are in the table is no fluke.
Start of the season I would be happy with top 10. But now, top 7 is a very achievable target.

I would be thinking 'dream on' myelf usualy but the way both teams are playing I think we could get something. Just hope out heads haven't dropped after our first defeat yesterday.

To push for top 7 we really need to keep Cabaye and Tiote fit. Plus if he is going to continue playing R. Taylor a left back then Jonas needs to be playing to help him out. We would have been caught out so many times already if Jonas didn't work so hard tracking back.

They are doing well,but unless they spend big(if they get promoted)then they`ll be straight back down again.:drink:
