Posted August 4, 2007 Well done Villa 3-0 againts Inter, fantastic! Aye, it was a cracking match. A lot of attacking play from both teams, and it was good to see Martin Laursen score, not only because he's spent so long out injured but also he played for AC Milan before joining Villa. Reo-Coker played fantastically, Harewood came on as a sub and played pretty well, and Stuart Taylor did a great job in goal. This was the first match I went to with a big club as opposition, and to see Figo, Adriano, Ibrahimovic and Chivu play was a nice experience. Have a good one mate. And I did.

Posted August 5, 2007 There is no denying, goal wise United were better, but I'd still think our passing and build up were better. United won the title because they were able to dig out results, a title winning team is one that can still win when playing rubbish, last season when we were rubbish we lost or drew. As for this season we just won our second pre-season tournament, beating Ajax 1-0 to win the Amsterdam Tournament. Eduardo looked like he had a bit of fighting spirit, and Van Persie is looking sharp. Looking forward to sunday now. QFT Their win at Anfield sticks in the mind , Arsenal play really good Football and I enjoy watching them I never missed an Arsenal game during their unbeaten run, the Leeds game at home sticks in mind during the 03/04 season. I mean I do agree with Hobz in one sense Arsenal now do try and pass the ball into the net abit too much. However their build up play is among thebest in Europe, they are patient yet Clincal....They just perform well enough last season in certain games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 5, 2007 So is this still going? Last I heard it was 1 all and Giggs had an attempt saved. I couldnt get it on the satellite where I was working and I couldnt be bothered turning on the tv at home and flicking it on to Sky Sports. Hmm five live on my PC nice.

Posted August 5, 2007 Alan Smith may convert me to thinking he's a good buy after all, cracking man of the match performance against Sampdoria, great headed goal and a goal wrongly disallowed for offside. Didn't look great upfront with Viduka first half, but dropped back and played deep later on and looked much better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 5, 2007 Awesome. We (Celtic) didn't win the opening game of the season. That mean's we are gonna win the league this year, if past is anything to go by. Last 5? years either Rangers or Celtic has lost or drawn a season opener, everytime that was the team who won the title. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 5, 2007 Yeah and its a bit of a boring game to watch. Liverpool are playing very slow, plodding, methodical football. They need to speed things up second half. Shame Kuyts goal wasnt given but of course if the linesman couldnt see it was over the line there isnt anything you can do at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
