ireland on for aston villa after not even being in the team sheet before the game

If he wasn't a weirdo shithead, he could be a star next to David Silva in City's team now; the ideal player for this set up.

Ireland is basically nonexistant in the game, but what a save that was by Given!

[Ted Hughes]

Everton 2-1, lucky not to be 2-2. Just a simple 20 yard cross & a simple header. We could score so many goals like that with the size of some our players but we only seem to think of it as a last resort & often don't look where we're putting the ball.

[Beefymcfc]

Says a lot about Swansea that they've only had 5 goals against them. Four from us and a fuck up against Arsenal.

[Ted Hughes]

Nice finish from Drenthe 3-1 Everton. Always liked the look of him on the rare occasions he got a game for Real. Wigan's defence gave up though tbf.

Cnut deserves fucl all after the way he behaved at Hercules, - Madridista shithead - God we better not balls up against these Gollum wankers next week

Arsenal are fucking awful

can't see it happening, but if they keep their current defensive form all year they'll finish in the bottom half. And I won't be able to stop laughing. They can play the game the 'right way' all the way to the bottom

It's unbelievable how poor that Arsenal backline is, Sagna is the only one they have who can actually defend at the level they require.They are all over the place and really need Vermaelen back in that side as soon as they can.
Mertesacker looks really out of sorts, he may be good in the air but he is going to really really struggle with the pace of the premier league.
As for Koscielny and Djourou im not sure which of them is worse.Djourou managed a run of good form last season that helped disguise the fact that he is really pretty rubbish but he's certainly back to his usual self again.I think Santos looks good when hes on the ball but im not convinced of his defensive capabilitys.

That keeper Chesney looks half decent but his confidence will be shot with the players playing in front of him.

He is highly regarded as having had some top signings in his time but Wenger really has struggled in his search for decent defenders.A few of his flops......

Nelson Vivas
Igor Stepanovs
Oleg Luzhny
Pascal Cygan
Lauren
Eboue
Phil Senderos
Mick Silvestre(and to think we nearly signed him)
Koscielny
The return of Sol Campbell
Sebastian Squilacci

Put it perfectly mate. I couldnt agree more.
I'm anxious to see how long Wenger stays on and how much faith Kroenke has in him..

[Moonchesteri]

Spurs all over Liverpool for the first 15minutes.

Ade missed a good chance in the 2nd minute but that goal by Modric was spectacular! What a hit!

[Mark (Blue Army)]

Liverpool score but It's offside.

[Moonchesteri]

Liverpool score but It's offside.

Well spotted by the assistant. At first I thought there was nothing wrong with the goal. Replay showed otherwise of course.

I hope Ade will score

Yeah I thought there wasn't anything wrong with the goal at first aswell.

[Mark (Blue Army)]

Liverpool down to 10 men. Adam sent off second yellow card.

[mr_nool]

adam's off. second yellow. and it was a good call by the ref as well.
king kenny. cardhouse.

[ashton287]

adam is my second player to get a red in my FF team this week. FUCKS SAKE.

Bale just ran 2 thirds of the pitch, a shoe in for poty again now. On accout of him being able to run, how he won it last year wasnt it?.

[Mark (Blue Army)]

Haha and another Liverpool player in the book. 3rd time lucky from this freekick?
