I feel sorry for Portsmouth, I hope they can at least finish the season before they fall apart. Which they surely will,  it's just going from bad to worse for them.

Almost temped to find and watch the liverpool derby.  Saw a bit on the news and it looked pretty passionate.  Bloody good weekend for Liverpool.  with the other matches going well for them.

Will have to remember to watch the end of the Chelsea/Arsenal game in the morning.  should be good

[Spork]

I really do hope Arsenal don't blow this one like they have in so many games V Man U and Chelsea in recent years. As long as we put up a decent fight, I will be happy, if I can turn off the game and honestly say that we had a chance to win it, I will be happy.

I just found a list of the EPL's 11 most overrated players.

Code: [Select]

                 Cech
A. Cole - J terry - Carvalho - Ivanovic

Deco - Lampard - Ballack - Malouda

        Drogba - Anelka

[Spork]

Well that was expected.

Chelsea 2 arsenal 0
So arsenal have lost 2 vs Man u and 2 vs Chelsea now.

Arsenal Vs liverpool on wednesday so if they lose that they will be looking behind not forward for the rest of the season

I'm no longer bothered about this season. It's only February yet I am looking forward to August already.

As predicted Drogba the arse nemesis strikes again twice.Must have been a heart breaker when he scored in the first ten minutes.Arse Wenger will still claim they are the best team in the league though.
Go Liverpool for third !!

So will Spork.

5-0 for the season for the mighty blues over assnil.

Looks like a 2 horse race now but still lots of games to play yet.

I would hardly call Drogba overrated, bit of a diver yeah, but that boy has some real talent

[maorifulla]

Shit i turned the TV on to see 2 nil this morning

My dad is an arsenal supporter and he was laughing at me when liverpool were getting the beats. I new Chelsea would deliver and I want them to win more than Man U

ahhh i cant wait for this Arsenal V Liverpool game

[kilabee]

Walcott=Overrated
I surprised he lasted as long as he did.Ashley Cole owned him all game.

lol we still on top tho, everton are our kryptonite...man city to take u out

I am more than happy to be 6 points behind the top, as arsenal has already played all their games against the teams that finished in the top 6 games last season, and only 2 games left against tws who finished in the top 8. Yet Chelsea and Man u have to face each other, and Liverpool, both at the kop if I remember correctly, so there is a chance of both teams dropping three or more points, considering Liverpool usually play really well against the other three of the top four. Then both of Chelsea and man u have to play the mancs, by sure where, and well there is why 14 games left?? So it's more than likely that they will both drop more points in other games, as we have all seen this is one very hard season, especially away from home.

[maorifulla]

damn that half past midnight diaby

Im over this seasons inconsistency

LOL @ chelsea, saha always score against you guys

[R3DM@N]

Remember Spork that Arsenal have to play the lower teams who have upset alot of the big clubs

[Spork]

We have Sunderland at home, and we drew with them away, so 'should' be able to beat them.

Stoke away,
Then Burnley at the Emirates,
Hull City away,
West ham at home.

Birmingham away,

Wolves at home.

Spurs away,

Wigan away.

Man City at the emirates.

Blackburn away.

Fullham at home,

I'm confident. I believe we can take 32 points from that.

Then you look at Chelsea and Man Us fixture list. They are quite a bit rougher, especially Chelsea's.

[Zenith]

I would give you 27 points from that. Thou if you did beat Man City I would be happy.  I pick Burmingham to give you some trouble
Still looks like a good run home.


I'm a bit grumpy about Liverpools loss but is was always a big game.

Yea, I did a very small write up for each game, but I don't want to jynx anything.

Sounds like you have gotten yourself bothered again Spork.

A sucker for punishment

I wouldn't be a sport supporter if I didn't follow my team blindly. Sometimes I just get a bit caught up in the moment.

But hey, I think the $17 pay out on Arsenal winning the league isn't the worst bet possible.

[maorifulla]

watch out for stoke

they love pulling out the big upsets those assholes
