Ellmeister Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 Lol redditt No idea why you're gif isn't working for me unless I type it in myself, but Lol :p
Fierce_LiNk Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Fuck yesss, Saturday! Foootballl. Ramsey, Aguero and Bent to score hat-tricks, pleeeease. (for my fantasy football.) Also, what the fuuuuck at Gyan leaving on loan?! At such short notice. Incredible.
MadDog Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Insanely frustrating match. We dominated the whole game, start to finish. On another day the penalty wouldn't of been given and we would of had 1 certain one, and maybe a couple of others. They defended well though. I haven't got a clue how Henderson missed 3 times in 3 seconds, and Adam then did the same. Overall we were by far the better team, which is positive, but obviously the result is disappointing.
jayseven Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 MOTD paints an interesting picture. It seems the manc sides are utterly dominant, chelsea and liverpool looked vastly inferior in comparison and arsenal just looked plain lucky. (Brighton won again wooo! :P)
Fierce_LiNk Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 A great result today. Not an easy place to go to at all, but what a performance. The front four of Rooney, Hernandez, Young and Nani just look so good. The downside is that Cleverley is probably going to be out for a while. That's a big downside, considering that this is the first time I remember us having a consistent midfield four playing together. Anderson should definitely still play, but it's a case of who is going to partner him for the next game. It's still really early, but every team will go through a patch where their form will slightly dip. But, it should be shaping up to be a good season. (Go Brightonooooo)
ipaul Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 So I totally didn't swap Aguero for Dzeko on fantasy football... Ah well. If Cabaye scores a hatrick tomorrow it'll be worth it In more pressing news, Cleverly looks to be injured quite badly. Dam. I was starting to take quite a shine to the lad.
Fierce_LiNk Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 I'm tempted to get rid of Bent out of my team, but I'm not sure who to replace with. I've already got 3 United players, so can't think about Rooney. I'm tempted to put Suarez in there, but Kenny is seemingly alternating between him and Carroll, so not sure. It's a shame what's happened to Tom Cleverley. But, he'll recover and come back strong. I like him a lot and he's formed a great partnership with Anderson in midfield. They both just need to sort their finishing out.
ipaul Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Yeah I might get rid of Bent as well. I feel a wildcard might be in play after this week...
Fierce_LiNk Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 I'm a bit worried about getting shot of him, as he'll probably score a hat-trick as soon as I take him off. Ramsey is another iffy one. I originally had Wilshere, but then he broke himself.
MadDog Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Suárez would be the best choice for your fantasy team, no chance of him getting dropped.
Ramar Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 We were very fortunate yesterday, but I'll take a 1-0 win at this stage. Need to build confidence and get our new players use to the team and how we play. Incredibly lucky with the goal, but it was well struck from Arshavin from a difficult angle. Scousers, you were robbed. Never a penalty. Who knew Stoke's hard men could pirouette with the best of them.
Fierce_LiNk Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Suárez would be the best choice for your fantasy team, no chance of him getting dropped. Hmm, will he be alternated with Carroll(Sp?) quite a bit? As for the penalty, harsh but you can also see why it was given. You're really not allowed these days to put your arms/hands on an opponent in the box.
Fresh Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 This kid was awesome at Bolton/United. (When Bolton hit the bar)

Carroll hasn't started brilliantly, but i think he'll start scoring eventually.
Fierce_LiNk Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) If fit Suárez will play every game without doubt, he's been immense so far this season. Carroll hasn't started brilliantly, but i think he'll start scoring eventually. He's a good player, but I'm not sure how it'll work with both him and Carroll playing with Kenny's system. I haven't paid too much attention to Liverpool so far, but do they play with one up top? I might just bite the bullet and add him instead of Bent. He'll probably score more and maybe get more assists, too. Edit: Phewww! Tom Cleverley has not broken his foot, just suffered ligament damage. Maybe four weeks. Could have been a lot worse. Thank god. Edited September 11, 2011 by Fierce_LiNk
MadDog Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 We've been playing 4-4-2, yesterday we lined up Henderson on the right, Adam and Lucas in the middle and Downing on the left. Suárez floats everywhere, he basically gets given a free role, and Kuyt stays up top. I'd swap Kuyt for Carroll, straight switch.
jayseven Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 ^I'd agree with that. Kuyt's a fairly reliable player and I think he'd be better as a supersub rather than relying on the recently flakey form of Carroll.
Fierce_LiNk Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Ah, ok. Yeah, I'd personally go with Carroll instead of Kuyt. Ok, Bent can bugger off now, then. Will be swapping for Suarez.
Charlie Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Norwich vs West Brom Fulham vs Blackburn 'Super' Sunday indeed.
Fierce_LiNk Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Norwich vs West BromFulham vs Blackburn 'Super' Sunday indeed. Blackburn are the Barcelona of the Premier League. Which would make Steve Kean Guardiola.
MadDog Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Steve Kean is so bad, i'd put a decent sum of money on him winning the sack race.
Ramar Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Norwich vs West BromFulham vs Blackburn 'Super' Sunday indeed. Lets be fair, every team deserves to be on the box. It's not just about the big boys. Unfortunately it's Sky's shite marketing and the crap footballing culture they've created. They hype their coverage up so much, when other teams get their shout they get these reactions.
nekunando Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 This kid was awesome at Bolton/United. (When Bolton hit the bar) I'm actually finding that GIF extremely annoying I kinda want to knock his pan in

I think you have a valid point if it's about the first game, because it's unfair on Norwich and West Brom, who both play good football. The second game however, nooooo. Blackburn are a fucking mess and have played bad football for a good while now. I'd rather have seen Blackpool or Birmingham stay up at their expense. How Steve Kean got the job and stayed in it is beyond me, no way should he be managing a Top Flight club.
darksnowman Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 I'd say thats Liverpools title charge over then. Seemed a harsh pen to concede and we seemed to create numerous chances which is something you don't expect to get at the Britannia. Hopefully we can keep playing with this freedom Kenny has instilled. Will Chelsea be able to keep pace with the two Manchester clubs?
