spirited away Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Oh, that's nice. Scared, are you? Yup, Villa are a really good team who I respect alot - and would rather not play . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roostophe Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Yikes. That's something nobody, and I mean NOBODY, would have said about the Villa three years ago! We've come a long way, baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmac Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 that's Martin O'neill for you, makes a big strong team that's hard to beat, but still has some flair about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roostophe Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Yyyeeeeaaaaahhhhh, boy. Up to third now! :yay: We're going to stay there...until Man U come back from Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald Emblem Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Gotta admit that match could have gone either way, West Ham just don't have the luck and they squandered their chances too much, Kudos to Friedel though, he stood strong.

Roostophe Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 ^ If that's about West Brom conceding a late equaliser against Man City, then I agree. Also, Manchester United are officially champions of the world. If you didn't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald Emblem Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 2 great goals that first half, 1 a piece between Arsenal and Liverpool. Though what the Arsenal defense was doing that Liverpool goal I haven't a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Great result for Newcastle. As much as I hated Kinnear on his appointment, i've got to hand it to him, doing a great job so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roostophe Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 So Adebayor has been sent off and Fabregas is injured? That's bittersweet. They won't be playing against Villa on Boxing Day (), which means I won't be able to see them in person. () Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyson Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Damn, was hoping for an Arsenal victory this time, but a draw will definitely do. The match was scrappy, though. Loads of yellow's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 I'm pretty pleased with this result, as I didn't really want to see either side win. So, come on, United. Lets hope we can capitalise on this, this time. Hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramar Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 Man, Liverpool should have won, but Arsenal scrapped right to the end. What?... They had the goal and Gerard's miss in the first half, a second half Agger shot from distance and that was it.. They didn't deserve a win for shit. Disgraceful football, at least Man United had the balls to come to us and play their game and attack. Liverpool came with the soul intention to get a point, like some club fighting for relegation not the title. Adebayor didn't deserve the sending off, and I'm gutted Fabregas could be out for a few months. On a positive, I'm pleased the fans were awake today, generated some noise (mainly boos generated towards Liverpool and the twat of a ref Mr Webb). Also Eboue got a good reception, considering the events of the second half, a point will do, fair result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmac Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 got to agree with Ramar here, Liverpool didn't deserve any more than they got and in the end were lucky to come away with the draw since Arsenal wanted it more after the sending off. And if there's one guarantee in football it's that when a ref wrongs a team you can bet it'll get the fans right behind them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald Emblem Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 I didn't say deserved to win. I said they should have won against a team with 10 men, especially when a Striker gets sent off and the offense should be contained, but Liverpool didn't take advantage and nearly lost the game. Their recent performances shows that Liverpool can't win the premiership yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyletherobot Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 The fact that they are top of the league (until later at least) would suggest that they can win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Wooo, cracking 3 points, thanks Santa! Two of my mates are Spurs fans and came to the match with us, what a sickener for them. Spurs must hate playing us, haven't we taken all 18 points from our last 6 games against them home and away or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksnowman Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Fair enough saying Liverpool didn't threaten in the second half, but I wouldn't say we purposefully sat back and played for a point. The sending off worked against Liverpool and we could hardly get a hold of the ball from that point onwards. We controlled things from when we equalised up until the red card. I dunno if our substitutions were that great either. Babel was pretty much invisible and El Zhar is hit and miss at the best of times. Ngog isn't terrible, but I didn't expect him to clinch the winning goal. I might have got Benayoun on seeing as he is a slippery wee player and he might have fashioned a scoring opportunity for himself or someone else. A point at the Emirates is always good, but with the way things are currently sitting for Liverpool, I would have really liked all three to give us that temporary clearance at the top of the table.

I thought Spurs were much the better side, but NOTHING in that final third really. Pav can't play on his won, Cambell can eff off back to man U, terrible player. Newcastle were pretty bad and had one attack in the 2nd half and a goal!!! A good goal though I'll give them that!!! Very frustrating match!!

Jon Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Grow a pair you fools. Arsenal were shit and so were Liverpool but to say the scouse were settling for a point is a bit thick. The arsenal defence was the worst I've seen in many years, any long punt up was causing them serious trouble and Robbie Keane could have scored a lot more than the one he did. As for Webb, i'd agree he got the Adebayor decision wrong but he is a quality referee. As for the Spurs game, they were probably the better side but Newcastle could have killed the game off earlier if Owen could hadn't missed a couple of great chances.
