Posted January 31, 2010 Clichy has been crap for a while though, it's just his pace usually makes up for his mistakes. Not today. And Nani's a cunt for getting Song booked. Diving little ponce. /bitterness. Ummm you may want to watch the replays. Nani certainly did not dive. Song caught him right on the shin which looked extremely painful. I agree it wasn't a yellow card as it was 50/50 ball for them both to go for but that's the refs decision. If someone went full pelt with their studs on your shin, I would like to see you get straight up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) It wasn't a yellow, in my opinion. I think a warning would have been enough, and then if the next tackle was similar then I'd book him. Not a dive though, but a bit soft for a card. Also, it looks like you were right about Anderson, Plattymon. Not even on the bench... As for Clichy, he's had a few problems with injuries hasn't he? He's still young, and he'll learn from this game. Edited January 31, 2010 by Fierce_LiNk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 1, 2010 I thought Nasri had a decent game actually. The amount of times he made a run that would have gotten Arsenal somewhere, only for usually Arshavin not to pass it and take a shot himself. Was quite surprised you thought he played badly actually.

The amount of times he made a run that would have gotten Arsenal somewhere, only for usually Arshavin not to pass it and take a shot himself. Was quite surprised you thought he played badly actually. He didn't move half as much off the ball as he should have been, didn't help stop Nani for the first goal. Admittedly it was a nice piece of skill, but you either close the man down or get in his way. A clever foul no doubt Carrick, Fletcher or Scholes would have made. --- POST MERGED - Even though it's almost 24 hours since posting.. So Chelsea drew with Hull. Every one has played the same amount of games now, Chelsea 55, Man Utd 53 and Arsenal 49. I expected a Chelsea win, so I thought they'd be an 8 point deficit come Sunday, but six isn't so bad, if we can get some form of result. Considering Chelsea still have to play Man Utd and Liverpool away, the optimist in me is saying do-able.

Posted February 2, 2010 It's such a good season. It really could be anyone out of the top 3. Fully expected Chelski to get the 3 points. Good old Hull. Need you gooners to do em now and for us to get a good result to turn it all around again. Exiting times ahead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 2, 2010 I wish I could've seen that Hull game, because it sounded like they gave Chelsea a good go. I was flicking through the telly and saw the FA Cup Replay between Palace and Wolves, so watched that. A hat-trick in about 6 minutes for Danny Butterfield. A perfect one, too. Header, left foot and right foot. Magic. My palace mate will be delighted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, but County deserve to progress after that sorry showing by the home lot. Edited February 2, 2010 by BlueStar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats what happens when a wealthy business man buys a team in an area where there's never been much footballing support then pumps money into them to get them to the top division.

That's pretty much it. Although, from what I've heard recently, around 1/7th of people in Wigan are Season Ticket holders? I think that's the stat that was mentioned. They also seem to have a large proportion of youth fans, although I can't remember the stats for that. The support for the club is growing slowly, but at the moment they really struggle to fill their stadium. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 3, 2010 Sigh. Another title goes a begging. Another shocking performance too. Keane provided a few sparks off life but all the chances he had he created himself. N'Guemo was anonymous for most of the game. Did Brown even touch the ball after coming on? Why did he even come on in the first place? You're 1 down, you take on a player who scores goals; Rasmussen. He scored 3 minutes after coming on at the weekend. Brown hasn't played since October? Argh, Mowbray annoys me so much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
