Platty Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Highlights have started....Come on Sky sports i just want the goal.
Stocka Posted September 20, 2006 Author Posted September 20, 2006 Wow bootiful. Poor Harper, he looked like he was drowning.
Ramar Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 To be totally fair it was only a goal because the keeper is all over the place. I saw a similar goal last year when Robert Green let in a long range cross/short by Carlos Edwards at Luton. Looks amazing, but with the keeper on the deck lessens the quality. Of course thats just my opinion. Still a good goal.
Roostophe Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Alonso's goal was a cracker. And so was Juan Pablo Angel's second goal against Scunnthorpe. Who I never knew wore Claret & Blue. Although their Claret is more reddish, like West Ham's 'claret'. Scunnthorpe v. Villa was a great game if you were a neutral.
Stocka Posted September 22, 2006 Author Posted September 22, 2006 I'll say this for the third time this season and I hope it works....3rd time lucky... I'm going to see Arsenal win their first game at the Emirates tommorow
Fierce_LiNk Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 I'm a bit pissed off. Just watched the United-Reading game, and i'm a bit annoyed with various things. First of all, the 'defensive mentality' of some teams in our league. "oh, we won't win, so we'll just spend the majority of the game on the back-foot and hope for the best." Second, the Gary Neville handball. It wasn't a handball, and i can't believe it was given as a penalty. His hand was blatantly at his side and i don't think any malice or intention was there. Thirdly, we seem to have lost some tempo lately. Against Arsenal and Reading, we have dropped in performance. We are definitely missing players like Giggs and Park, and we should have played Saha from the start.
Eddage Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Damn it United! Will have to watch the game on Match of the Day to see the handball insident, but the BBC match summary also claims it was harsh! We really shouldn't have any problem beating teams like Reading, can't wait to see Giggs back in action! At least one good thing came from todays game, the return of Heinze!
Fierce_LiNk Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 At least one good thing came from todays game, the return of Heinze! I'm not ashamed to admit that i screamed out loud when i saw Heinze was playing! It's great to see him back.
Noodleman Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 First of all, the 'defensive mentality' of some teams in our league. "oh, we won't win, so we'll just spend the majority of the game on the back-foot and hope for the best." Thats nothing new and as a fan of a big club you should be used to it by now, its unfair to expect the smaller teams like Reading, Watford, Sheff Utd to play all out attacking football against the bigger sides just so they can beat them 5-0. No its down to the bigger teams to break them down and show that they want the 3 points more imo

No its down to the bigger teams to break them down and show that they want the 3 points more imo You make a fair point. But, when it comes down to it, its always a game of 11 versus 11, so you could argue that both need to want it to deserve it, imo.
Platty Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Why was Brown dropped for Vidic? he is a pony who cant head the ball to save his life....Brown is playing at his best...i dont get it.

Oi, don't knock the Vidic. I like him. Richardson is really having a poor season, so far. I think i screamed at him a few times. No wait, I KNOW i screamed at him lots.

No its down to the bigger teams to break them down and show that they want the 3 points more imo I don't expect the other teams to play all out attacking football, but at least make an attempt to win the game Being a Celtic fan I am well used to this sort of thing, recently our game against Dunfermline ended 1-0, they played with 10 men behind the ball the entire game and even when they were losing didn't even try to play anything resembling football oh and in todays game against a diddy team Celtic ran out easy winners against Rangers, with Thomas Gravesen and Kenny Miller both scoring their first goals for the club

No its down to the bigger teams to break them down and show that they want the 3 points more imo Agreed. I know how it feels....I'm an Arsenal supporter. Why was Brown dropped for Vidic? he is a pony who cant head the ball to save his life....Brown is playing at his best...i dont get it. Why the hell was Brown dropped? I had him in my fantasy footy team dammit!!! Anyway great result for the gooners today! The win against United and this win against Sheffield is reinforcing my faith in this Arsenal team. BTW, went to the Fulham/Chelsea match today. Was very good I thought. I was so close to the players!! Booed Cashley Cole every time...
darksnowman Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 Why the hell was Brown dropped? I had him in my fantasy footy team dammit!!! Speaking of Fantasy Football, is there an N-Europe League this season...? Whats the code for it?! I only made my team the other week but Id still like to enter and see how I fare.
Platty Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 Newcastles goal was way offside!! also check this video out, well funny http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yFrk5NaI4c
BlueStar Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 It was just Shola's blistering pace that made it seem that way. The odious Tim Cahill should have been sent off.
Iun Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 Small squad = Bad. There are many phrases I would associate with Shola: "Dependably Mediocre" "Forgettable" and "Not Much Cop, Really" but "Blistering Pace" ... no... not one of them. We are really going to pay for not making more defensive and attacking signings during the summer: our midfield is strong with imaginative, reliable and hardworking players -Parker, Milner, N'Zogbia and of course, the excellent Emre. Our defence has never seemed to gel -Carr is losing it, Ramage is a hard-worker who would probably push for an international call-up if he were given the chance. Moore and Taylor are great and Babayaro is solid. But ever since Keegan, we just haven't had a defence that has inspired me with confidence.
Roostophe Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 2-0. Morton are now 5 points ahead of Cowdenbeath in the D2 table. Leeds beat Birmingham 3-2 GET IN THERE! Now... Carling Cup Third Round tie versus Leicester. O'Neill's old club. yipe. Away game against Chelsea. This is the real challenge, after this game, we'll see just how good revitalised Villa are.
Babooo Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 hehe, nice video Platty. Playing Porto tomorrow in the CL, I think we'll get a win. Come on u gunners!
Noodleman Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 I dont know if anybody remembers a player at Portsmouth last year called Dario Silva? Well anyway he was in a car crash in his native Uruguay and has had his right leg amputated. Linkage Sad news
