They should have saved their energy for Leeds. :finger:

fanboi.

[Spork]

Does anyone have any forums for which they download these games regularly? And are uploaded quickly?

I usually have to wait until late at night before it gets uploaded, which is annoying, especially for these Sunday night/ Monday morning games, as I work at 6.30 on Mondays.

I've been a Leeds fan all my life and this is sooooo special!

I've watched so many games where they've either sneaked a win or kicked our arses, so this feels so much like sweet, sweet revenge.

Happy, happy days!!!

Congrats on the win. Wont take anything away from your glory by saying we didn't play our strongest team or anything

But seriously, congrats. A huge upset and by none other than the dirty scum Leeds.

No idea about downloads - As equity says Justin TV for live all thou I just go to myp2p.eu and choose a source.

Found this article - first Prem match with ZERO english players starting.

One of the reasons I'm not big on clubs like Chelsea and Arsenal.  While I'm sure they still do a lot of development work for English players they are still heavy on Import players.
We will see this more and more I guess with more clubs being brought by foriegn owners.


Enjoyed hearing that Man U lost to leeds in the FA cup.:violin:

[Spork]

Sam Alardyce is a complete dick anyway, Fat Sam.

Looking at what teams have the least english players in them and oh whats this, what team has the least??

Couldn't possibly by Blackburn run by Fat Sam could it?

Awesome win for Arsenal, good win for Chelsea, and awesome win for Leeds! HAHA, I hope Man U go trophyless this season. I would actually prefer Chelsea to win the CL and EPL over Man U.

Look at the table down the bottom...

Fuck you Snow! Now we are going to have to wait another 10 years to play our catch up game, fucking FA mugs.

[Zenith]

I dont think its the FAs fault it snowed.  The seasons are so busy it is going to be near the end of the season before you get it back probably

Because it was vital that half of the EPL teams played a midweek game back in September or when ever it was.. When there was no CL, there was no FA, there was no CC, there was no Europa, yes there was international games, but how come only half of the teams played that extra game? What a Crock. I could organise the fixtures list better than them.

It ruins a big part of the game, being an Arsenal supporter, I'm always hearing 'but you guys are 4 points behind'

Sure, it's possible that Bolton could get a point or three out of us, upsets happen. But if we had played this game already, and won it, we would be one point behind Chelsea, and one point ahead of Man U, yet absolutely everyone who is not an Arsenal supporter is still following this whole 'two horse race' between Chelscum and Manure. Why does it take four to five months to play an extra game? I can think of many weeks where there has been nothing important midweek.

What's going to happen now, will we have to wait until a week after everyone else has finished the EPL before we can play our final game? All because the FA mugs can not count.

[R3DM@N]

I woulda rather you'd play now and get it over with so we know where we at

Exactly!

[Zenith]

The best chance for an upset by bolton would be in a snow affected game so its good for you in that respect.

IIRC there are 20 EPL teams so 2 rounds is 38 games.

FA cup for top teams could be say 4 games
CL / europa could be 4 to 8 ish prob more
Carling maybe 4 games.

then there are international windows as well

So more games than weeks by a long way

[Spork]

Well yea, but they should either not play a midweek game, or have the midweek game for ALL teams, it just messes everything up if you don't.

[Spork]

Lol.

130 million pounds! Could've bought two Ronaldo's for that much!

[R3DM@N]

Chelsea has a better firm than Arsenal im afraid

[Zenith]

Looks like most of the matches will disrupted due weather so there will be lots of catchup matches now.

Be interesting to see how throwing lots of money at Man city will go.  Do they have the fan base to support them - also they would have to pay lots more for the players than Man U for example, as they would be more of a risk of ruining your future prospects.

I can't see my son in 10 years time saying - "Dad please can I get one of those cool pale blue Man city shirts?"

I went to a Oz vs UK league game at Man Citys ground - awesome staduim - built for the commonwelth games.

[Spork]

Sucks bad for Arsenal then, as that means we have to play two catch up matches.

Going to be a few 3 game per weeks coming up I think.

Although our game isn't cancelled yet, so I can only be hopeful.

I would sort of like to see it played, as I'm not sure how all the players will cope, but I think Arshavin will score a double hat trick. Russians sunbathe in this weather.

[R3DM@N]

I hate Russian Soccer Players.
Wouldnt trust em

Can't trust them? Why do you need to trust a soccer player?

Arshavin has devastated Liverpool twice in one year. He has scored so many vital goals for us, and he has an awesome sense of humour and personality. Sure he is unreliable at times, but when he steps up, he steps up big.

[R3DM@N]

Ivanovic is shit and Zhirkov rarely plays.

Thats all I see

Arshavin is Arsenal scum

Arshavin is probably our deadliest player, especially with Van Persie out injured for 60 years. Mainly because he isn't always menacing, but when he gets in one of his moods, he usually makes something of it, creating a build up, assist, or scoring in usually mind blowing fashion.

Wellington Phoenix.
Holy fuck! Top 4 I believe. Impresive!

Dam Right Camy - that Dadi from Ivory Coast was amazing!
