Fantastic game of football!
Both sides going for it.
Very impressed today with Gervinho/Vermaelen for Arsenal and Kompany/Barry for City :cool:
Hell of a start to the season by United and City.. City have been a lot better, but give Fergie credit, despite not playing well we've rarely taken so many points so quickly...Quote:

It's a shame we didn't get anything out of it though, came close a few times. Credit to City in the end and Joe Hart especially...
Respect to City, well played. Hope the rest of the teams we play are not that good!!!
That's the best game of football i've seen this season so far. Both sides showed loads of pace and technical excellence and subtlety. To be honest i thought you deserved a draw. :)Quote:

I think the top 2 will be similarly placed come the New Year with a bigger gap behind.
My ticket for the Man City vs Stoke game on Wednesday night is going spare if anybody's interested...
I'd like to see Spurs make a fist of it, they've been excellent this season. And they really were robbed in the game against Stoke last week.Quote:

Or is that just luck.. for the 20th season in a row...Quote:

City are probably more powerful. But they also have class forwards. Love him or hate him but Mario is class, powerful, skillful and quick. Then Aguero.. They also have the one thing almost all title winners need, and why Arsenal haven't won anything for so long, a class stable goal keeper.
I'm not writing Man U off at all. I think we could do the classic United season. Just keep in touch with a team playing better football, grind out results, then catch and move ahead and the other team just gets dispirited and we pull away. We've a good young squad so I think things are positive.
I saw a great comment on the Guardian I think.. 'Now that Fergie has no money we'll see how average he is'... honestly its those guys who only started watching football in the late 90's believe that codswallop... or he was lucky to get that one generation...What the guy did at Aberdeen was quite incredible and matches almost anything he has done south of the border. Like him or not he deserves a bit more respect from the ignorant fans of other teams..
His management over the past 5 years has probably been the best of his career.. the way he handled Ronaldo and Rooney problems, brought through youth, bought potential, sparingly used the older players.. very few managers would have done what he has done for us recently.
Keane's rant reinforces what Ferguson is about. Club first. No sentimentality. An older player with little more to give or a good coach with more to give. He was forced into a decision to back one or the other and he always looks for the future. He's ruthless - a right bastard. But you don't do what he does without that streak.
Good post Iain. Absolutely spot on. I think Spurs are actually in the position Danbert was claiming City are in last week i.e. learning how to be a 'big club'
Good start for Spurs as Adebayor beats Terry to the ball to make it 1-0 !
HT 1-1 Chelsea back in it. The turning point was when Drogba swapped his purple boots for yellow ones!
Hope it stays a draw, does neither sides any good and means Arsenes army gain 2 points on them.....
You got your wish Biara :DQuote:

Yay, but feel slightly guilty that I'm pleased with Terry!!!Quote:

Me too! The pitch invader was definitely attacking the keeper :w00t:Quote:

Getting interesting again. Tick tock :closed:
It used to be the pinnacle to beat Wigan. But that was Rugby League.
Do we really need to know when a multi-billion pound football team beats the relegation outfit from down the road?????
Probably not, but thanks for bringing it up....Quote:

The owner being up in court on money laundering charges just about says it all!
Good post.. So City beat The baggies.. Relegation outfit... Like Chelsea beat Wigan.. Ohh hold on... Is football not too predictable... Squeaky bum time... United... A team in crisis with few decent players and a senile manager win 8 of 9 since the city game...Post of the day on the BBC 5 goals separate utd and city.. 6-1 they pointed out.. But 6-1 is worth more than 5 goals.. About twice as many...Quote:

The title is too close to call. Two dropped points at the Hawthorns doesn't really change things. The lead will change between us many times before May.
So Evra starts the conversation by "referring" (presumably in a negative sense) to Suarez's sister in Spanish. Suarez is punished severely but nothing for Evra....sound fair?
In that case, Heathen's should be quaking in his boots for being an equally "unreliable" witness.

Top day for the Gooners today after the Wolves cock-up. Arsenal win, spurs draw, Man U and Chelsea lose, result. 4th place is still realistic aim. Well happy after this round of games. Just hope they can maintain this into 2012, bring on the mighty Fulham (hope Fulham have an off day!!)
I see that KK is condoning tit for tat racism - it appears that KK's not only a waster and a liar but also a racist.
You should probably add another K to your signature sign-off
Can Man City take advantage of United's slip-up yesterday or will Sunderland do a 'Blackburn' ?

Definitely an even better weekend for Arsenal, only them and Liverpool won in the top 7. Just hope that all this good work is not ruined at Fulham tomorrow.
