Sunderland started well, all things considered. Few of their new signings look really up for it.

LostinBlanch · 01-09-2007 5:44pm

What station is the match on?

mike65 · 01-09-2007 5:51pm

Setanta Sport 1

Hobart · 01-09-2007 6:06pm

A complete snore fest tbh. Brutal game.

Yup, I'd agree with that. Sunderland have been effective.

evad_lhorg · 01-09-2007 6:11pm

no United just havnt been at all. its so unorganised all over the place. too many players given a free role and running where they want. Tevez dropping way too deep too.

herbieflowers · 01-09-2007 6:24pm

Saha on for Anderson...

The Rooster · 01-09-2007 6:35pm

STOP PRESS

ManU have striker on!

They may even score now

mike65 · 01-09-2007 6:41pm

Eagles off and Fletcher coming on.

Mike.

Peyton Manning · 01-09-2007 6:44pm

This is painful to watch.

evad_lhorg · 01-09-2007 6:47pm

depressing is the word I would use. its like a champions league game

evad_lhorg · 01-09-2007 6:47pm

scratch that.... 1-0 saha

mike65 · 01-09-2007 6:47pm

feck!

Mike.

Necronomicon · 01-09-2007 6:50pm

Yeeessss welcome back Louis!

KdjaCL · 01-09-2007 6:51pm

Love the way away fans always outsing Utd fans , and always with witty chants

Lemlin · 01-09-2007 6:55pm

What sort of reception did Keane get from United's fans?

Ruskie4Rent · 01-09-2007 7:11pm

They were singin "there's only 1 keano"

Irish Abroad for Saturday, 1st of September: http://www.chatsoccer.net/irishabroad/dateDetails.xquery?seasonID=137&date=2007-09-01
Kevin Kilbane sent off. Cliff Byrne sent off. Derek Geary sent off.
What a day

I've added a new statistics section, it's not finished yet, but you can see the work in progress here: http://www.chatsoccer.net/irishabroad/august.xquery
All that's there at the moment is the stats for august, I'll either add a section for each month or keep an updated overall tracking

evad_lhorg · 01-09-2007 9:00pm

kevin doyle missed a penalty too:D

Guy:Incognito · 01-09-2007 9:02pm

Anyone see Momo's great dummy on about 83 mins? Complete airshot that ran through his legs straight to torres (iirc) . The mans a genius.

Pepe LeFrits · 02-09-2007 1:08pm

Arsenal: Almunia, Clichy, Senderos, Toure, Flamini, Rosicky, Gilberto, Fabregas, Hleb, van Persie, Adebayor

Subs: Fabianski, Diaby, Denilson, Walcott, Eduardo

Fuzzy_Dunlop · 02-09-2007 1:22pm

Hold on, where the feck are all these right backs we have?

Roddy23 · 02-09-2007 1:43pm

1 -0 to the Arsenal. Adebayor with a penalty.:)

Royale with Cheese · 02-09-2007 1:44pm

Poor standard of play so far though.

Necronomicon · 02-09-2007 2:08pm

2-0 Fabregas

Royale with Cheese · 02-09-2007 2:09pm

Woohoo. Has Cesc scored more this season than he did last year yet?

Necronomicon · 02-09-2007 2:12pm

I think they said he only got 1 league goal last season or something crazy like that.

Royale with Cheese · 02-09-2007 2:42pm

My god Senderos is such a retard

Guy:Incognito · 02-09-2007 2:42pm

Senderos off

Jesus that free was begging to be just chipped over the wall, Almunia was nearly at the other post. Acres of the goal just to chip into.

3-0

then straightaway 3-1 , best goal ever from Kanu. Course he meant it.:-)

Necronomicon · 02-09-2007 2:52pm

Ha, blink and you miss two goals. Rosicky makes it 3-0 and Kanu brings it back to 3-1.

Royale with Cheese · 02-09-2007 2:53pm

Rosicky scores when nobody's looking then Portsmouth score from the kick off with the flukiest finish you'll ever see. 3-1, all very odd.

Pepe LeFrits · 02-09-2007 3:42pm

I'm really losing patience with Senderos now. Wenger's decision to send Djourou on loan is looking really suspect; going into the season with 3 recognised CBs and we've already lost two of them. Fingers crossed Gallas can make a speedy recovery over the international break so we won't have Gilberto in defence for the NLD.

Fabregas was ****ing awesome today though, as was Toure. Rosicky had his best game thus far this season too.

I don't know, Senderos does seem to possess the ability to be a good centre-back. It seems that he lacks confidence and concentration though.

Necronomicon · 02-09-2007 4:03pm

Anyone else's coverage of the Chelsea game a bit choppy? It's like watching Dream Team on my tv.

That was my line of thought when he first came into the team a few years ago, but he hasn't improved or ironed out the kinks in his game since then. I'm beginning to think he never will.

Royale with Cheese · 02-09-2007 4:10pm

Senderos is slow, clumbsy and not good enough.

Raskolnikov · 02-09-2007 4:21pm

Shaun-Wright Phillips is on fire for Chelsea today :eek:

Necronomicon · 02-09-2007 4:24pm

Great tempo to the game so far, but Chelsea starting to boss it.

Raskolnikov · 02-09-2007 4:29pm

Drogba not having the greatest of games so far. Belletti looks very solid at right back.

mike65 · 02-09-2007 5:08pm

Zat Knight!

Mike.

mike65 · 02-09-2007 5:48pm

I love Martin O'Neill

Mike.

_blank_ · 02-09-2007 5:49pm

Is the match over?

Pepe LeFrits · 02-09-2007 5:50pm

No, but Villa lead 2-0.

Looks like mid-table battlers Arsenal will be joint top of the league tonight.

mike65 · 02-09-2007 5:54pm

Drogba seems a bit crook (for real).

Villa Park is Maureens bogey ground is'nt it?

Mike.

el rabitos · 02-09-2007 5:55pm

that'll do nicely

evad_lhorg · 02-09-2007 6:02pm

woot. that was great. loved the way they went on and scored a second instead of time wasting. Now Liverpool and Arsenal start losing too.

Could be a season like last years La liga

shatners basoon · 02-09-2007 6:33pm

Hopefully! (bar the liverpool losing bit:P)

Villain · 02-09-2007 7:35pm

Super Super Villa

We bet Chelsea and we bet them by playing better football and defending well, great day. Ashley Young is starting to show why Martin O'Neill payed so much for him himself and Gabby out wide have the pace and belief to trouble any defence, also ReoCoker looked very good, I like Petrov and wanted to give him a chance but Barry and ReoCoker in the middle look the best option.

Great result if we can stay injury free we might just be able to challenge for Europe although I still think the squad is too small tbh.

Up the Villa

maxi-twist · 02-09-2007 8:06pm

cant believe mourinho took off SWP,he was the only attacking force.Especially since malouda was dire. Great defending by laursen holding drogba at bay though.

SWP reportedly left with an ice pack on his leg though.
