Dear Liverpool fans,

Bwhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Signed,
Chelsea

Obviously didn't hear how your side went this morning.

[Spork]

I found that a bit odd as well, although I guess losing 3-1 to Man U is better than 3-0 to a tier 2 Tottenscum.

4-0 Sporky... 4-0 but thanks for trying to ease the pain

[R3DM@N]

Torres - Scores one, looks like two, nek minute..

Tough game for Arsenal this morning   1 nil down at home to Shrewsbury at home after 15.

Can life get any better

I watched the game this morning. Holy cow was I about ready to rage. Absolutely shambolic first half.

Alex Oxlade Chamberlain looked like a true winner though, showed some amazing skills, and his goal was great - but would most likely have been saved by any decent keeper.

If we were playing any other team but Shrewsbury, we would have lost. But then Djourou was captain, so I can sort of understand why we were so bad. Along with the whole team's current form.

Although one thing which I was thinking about, is that it was a pretty well brand new team compared to the usual first team, yet they still looked exactly the same as the first team (BAD). Coincidence? Or has Wenger actually 100% lost it?

I also saw yesterday, that in a pre-match interview, AW was asked if he is considering bringing in a defensive coach, and his quote was something like 'I have just finished 34 seasons as a coach, I do not believe I need any help'.

/me looks at Arsenal's form since winning against Man U last season.

Yea.. Yea you do mate.

Does anyone care about that Cup anymore?

[LeadCollector]

What cup?

[kilabee]

Butter...
Two girls one...

[Spork]

Does anyone care about that Cup anymore?

I do, as I see it as Arsenal's chance to break their trophy drought.

Obviously even that depends on wtf we do in the EPL, because as it stands now, we look to be getting relegated! Heh.

I still think The League/Milk/Carling Cup is important. I remember when I was 12 Liverpool beat MUFC 2-1 in the 1982 League Cup Final. I had half the neighbourhood outside my window in Milton Keynes singing the score at me. It was an important trophy to the English back then and still is. The fixture congestion faced by clubs playing in four competitions forces them to use squad players in the Carling Cup these days which takes the shine off it a little, but it still often produces highly competitive and entertaining football. Judging by TV ratings in England for the cup's semi finals and final, the competition is as important to fans as it ever was.

Chin up Arsenal will not get relegated, it is only 5 matches into the season. If the league is as competitive as the last season all Arsenal have to do is stop losing and rack up a few points before xmas. The transfer window may allow them to draft in a few more players and try to reach the top four by May. Given the finacial situation at Arsenal is so tight because of the new stadium they can not afford to lose the money they get from playing in the Champoins league. Most of last season there was very few points between 5th place and 18th. I think they still can do it. They need money for players, not a new manager imo.

[Spork]

Yea, I am actually rather optimistic about this season - I firmly believe that we will at least be in the fight for fourth. Will be an interesting end to the season either way.

[Spork]

Insert something about a rainy day in Stoke.

Also, comfortable win for Arsenal, first one in I don't know how long.

[Aquila Rossa]

Fergie didn't have a go about the ref not giving the penalty. Must be on a final warning from the FA. hehe.He did have a grumble about Crouch fouling etc though. Sir Alex

Lots of injuries at MUFC. Owen got another run. He looked sharp scoring in the League Cup but does not seem to quite be able to step up a level. I still think he has a chance of a high scoring season at Old Trafford. He used to be one of the best at breaking the offside trap back when he was wearing a different shade of red. His hamstring has held out for a few months now.

Feeling better now Spork? 4-1 is a decent result for a team that is going down, hehe.

I watched those Warriors in the league last night which was nearly as good as watching football. Great win from them.
