The English Premier League Thread [05-06]

[ShearerM4]

Is Emre in the lineup?

nope injured.

1649: SENT OFF
Andy Welsh of Sunderland sees red after clashing with Luis Garcia of Liverpool, although the decision seems harsh.

another red ... cant wait to see the footage of all this on Match of the Day! this league is going to the dogs.

 

[Fernandez]

The Welsh sending off was a joke. In my opinion, Gerrard should have been sent off earlier.

 

[Bobby]

Birmingham - Man City is a pretty decent match so far.

 

[TheBlueBalla]

I missed the sending off in that game, but it seemed like the crowd was giving the ref alot of grief after stubbs went down

Birmingham - Man City is a pretty decent match so far.

Damn right, alot more so than the Liverpool game. 2 goals and a half dozen good chances and near misses inside 25 minutes.

Andy Cole and Forssell have looked sharp, and its strange to see Musampa and Melchiot roughly matched up: on my computer they look like the same player in opposing unis

 

[Bobby]

"GET STUCK IN!"

haha

Yea they do look the same

 

[untouchable]

Joey Fartin Barton I hope Keane or Smudger breaks his legs in the city derby.

 

[rony31]

HAHAHA, ANDY COOOOOOOOOOLE

and :Bow: Barton

great recovery he's made since the incident

10 unbeaten for Stu's City good way to start a birthday

 

[RUSI]

City - Birmingham was a good match

Very nice goal fromCole

 

[VanTheMin]

game of the weekend so far--- blackburn v fulham

the goals say it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

f*ckin class goals by tugay and pederson.
man udt should have got him before blsckburn.a precious talent playing in an ordinary club.

 

[Fernandez]

I'm convinced that Perrin will be the first casualty. His signings are awful. Westerveld, Viagrafara, Karadas? Lua Lua was the only one who seemed interested in playing yesterday.

Wow, 4 points from two games we would have probably lost under Keegs. Not missing SWP to any great extent so far, makeshift backline working ok, Andy Cole scoring goals.

Wow.

Wow.

Hey, maybe you guys will actually challenge us this time then huh? Looking forward to it.

Somebody pointed out these stats to me today, found it pretty interesting

England's two top clubs met today, and out of the 32 players called up for the match (plus the two coaches), England had only 4 representitives. That can't be good for the development of the English game.

Wow.

if Sinclair loses some damn weight, he'd be just as good as SWP... but he's a tank

Yah, but I think that is a problem you will see exclusively between these two teams. Chelsea are well documented in picking the best talent from every league, and Arsenal do the same, just from the youth ranks. If it were any other combinations of teams in England, the ratio would be much better, although Liverpool and ManYoo are decievingly similar.

Besides, Cole should have made the bench for Chelsea and I was frankly a bit pissed he didnt

 

[Voltaic Borusse]

What player would you have sacrificed for Cole to be on the bench?

You're going to have quite a lot of players sitting in the stands.

 

[Help?]

Manchester United had already 4 english players starting for them in the last 3 games, and not 4 being shared with another team. And 7 Brits in total. So we aint that bad yet with english

 

[Bobby]

Tugay's goal

 

[Voltaic Borusse]

Pedersen's goal celebration.

 

[$teauA]

I watched the highlights show last night on FSC, holy hell there were some sick ass goals this week!!
