Le Premiership: This Weekend 27-28th October

Chelsea up on City, Essien I think

Mike.

PHB

Boro looking quite good to be honest, United's attack not really clicking, Anderson and Hargreaves aren't passing great.

**** me, Downing came close. Brown is really switching off defensively.

Brun 1 1 Wigan

Wigan open scoring, Brum get peno.

Mike.

Pepe LeFrits

Looking like it's going to be a long afternoon for City.

PHB

Cough, Chelsea winning 2-0 already.

Also rooney just scored from some terrible defending from Boro, harsh on them.

ROCKMAN

2-1 roooney
gift

Tusky

That has to be one of the worst most amateur mistakes I have seen in quite some time. Why didnt he just clear it ?

PHB

Ronaldo just accidently had a shot with his chest, really shoulda put it away, can't believe we didn't score from that break. Anderson is having not the best of games today, his passing is pretty on and off. Hopefully he can pick it up in the 2nd half.

Anderson is trying too hard I think. A few too many attempts at the spectacular pass. Front 5 (:eek:) linking up well, without being able to find the killer ball. O'Shea is giving his man way too much space when trying to cross the ball. Hopefully Fergie can work his magic and we'll comeout and get an early goal and go on from there.

Dave!

Nani's goal was a peach!

Ronaldo could had a couple so far, I can see him getting one in the second half. Tevez playing well.

He's still hastling them well though. It was him that managed to force the defenders into the corner for the second goal.

PHB

Yeh he has done well tracking back, and some of his passes has been great. But I want to see a bit more consistancy from him in the next half. He's gotta make the team tick, set the tempo

Im_No_Superman

What a goal from Tevez!!!

PHB

What a ****ing goal, goal of the season right there, no doubt about it.

That was ****ing unreal.

An Citeog

Tevez!!!

What a combination. Hopefully United can push on from here.

Tevez scores, and Le Tiss calls it 'dream goal' and 'fantasy football'.

:eek:

Is he right?

edit:

OK, seems he was.

Watching the Premiership this evening anyway.

machiavellianme

Drogba and Lampard making a mockery of Citeh.
3-0

Tusky

Hats off to utd, lovely lovely goal.

PHB

DesF, it was perfection.

cough cough, Chelsea hammering City, if only I had put money on it

This is how United play without Ronaldo playing well, I can't wait till he gets into his groove

Blowfish

hehehe, top class, Tevez and Rooney is looking better and better as a combination.

Anderson is looking livelier too

Tonight's lotto numbers please.

Oh and poor, poor Xavi6 having to stay up very late to watch this in Perth.

Unearthly

Just remembered about Fantasy football and I have 3 Man City defenders

DAMN!

PHB

And that's four for Chelsea

could have been worse, you could also have dropped drogba right before he started scoring goals again last week. I sure have a lot of egg on my face now

kinaldo

Newcastle equalize, Emre with the assist - og

Jesus, Chelsea have arrived and that's for sure.

When Kalou starts scoring, the defence is having a nightmare imo.

I reckon it'll finish 9-0.

Man City were punching above their weight for a while. Bubble had to burst some time.

kinaldo

****ing newcastle

PHB

Always happy to see City get beat, but ya gotta start asking the question, are Chelsea really out of this title race?

Still crazy that even with 5 goals, Shevchenko isn't one of them

_blank_

Four now for ManYoo...


...and SundIreland equalise. Dammit.

emc2

4-1 to utd now boro are muck and could go down this season

1-1 jones scores for sunderland again..

Blowfish

16 goals in 4 games

_blank_

17

Shevchenko.

emc2

beat me to it Des

6-0 chelsea

PHB

I could be a pundit :P

Shevchenko finally gets some goals, if he starts going, god help us all, we'll have a real three way battle.

I think I'm changing my mind now, I want Arsenal to win, knock Liverpool out of the race well and good, and make Chelsea think that gap to Arsenal is just too much.

They never really were out of it. It was down to how they handled the Jose crap. Everyone assumed that Grant would only be in charge for a few weeks or month and then they would appoint someone else. This would have caused no amount of chaos. They seem to be happy with their current set up though and their recent results have been good.

PHB

Indeed, they are 5 points behind United though and effectively 9 points behind Arsenal. That's a big gap to overcome at this early stage. Also with attacking football, it'll be interesting to see how their defense copes. either way might be worth a cheeky bet.

Still 6 wins in a row for Chelsea now. Also they have Wigan next which should be easy points.

Sunderland should have gone ahead.

Pity that.

O shea played well today

9 points is nothing. If the lead can be gained in 10 games, it can easily be recovered from in 30. That obviously requires a change in form but if anyone are capable of doing it, it would be Chelsea. The top 4 will be the standard fare but in what order is anyones guess.

leninbenjamin

what happened at the bridge today lads? City implode or Chelsea unstoppable? is it a bit of luck or has Grant really has got them playing more attacking football?

Xavi6

Well I could've (and should've) gone straight to bed but thought it bst to get this post out of the way.

First off congrats to PHB on the prediction, though I did admit myself that we'd either sneak a win or get destroyed.

As for the game, we didn't show up. Simple as. It took until we went two down before we strung three passes together. Stephen Ireland is f*cking w*nk. Can't pass, can't cross and can't shoot. He has to go. As does that Garrido. I've never seen a bigger display of ball watching in my life. He was an obvious target for every through ball. Joe Hart got nutmegged FOUR times. I was in stitches at the last one.

Positives? There are none really. Micah lost the head early (though that fat pr*ck Lampard blatantly dived), Elano showed rare flashes, Samaras was lost up front on his own and Didi and Johno offered nothing. Only player who tried to play football was Petrov. He actually played pretty well.

Chelsea were good but not great, mainly because they didn't need to be. We were an awful disappointment and serious questions will now be asked within the club regarding certain players, and rightly so. Embarrassment of the highest order.

Pompey to win 3-0! Utaka (2), Kranjcar.

Did elano do nothing against a decent team again?

Well he's hardly the type of player to stop teams scoring 6 goals. He needs the ball to show what he's about and obviously didn't get much of it today.

Unearthly

I always felt City were going to get a thumping one day, they rode their luck a fair few times this season

and yes i'm bitter about the derby

Xavi6

Archimedes wrote: »

Care to elaborate on that?

He got little ball today and when he did Mikel just chopped him down (four times in the first half alone). He showed his class despite being surrounded by mediocrity.

Peyton Manning

Im just saying, Elano has been great this season, except against United and Chelsea.
