West Ham should have actually got another one earlier on

Did I hear right - Fergie agreeing with a referee's decision?

"No question aboot it: Gary Neville should have been sent off.."

Well, I suppose they did win, and he hardly plays Neville anyway so he's clearly not arsed.

Looks good on the c/v at the forthcoming FA hearing, Jont !

I see Roberto Martinez (Wigan) has laid into Fergie and into what he calls Fergie's "loyalists" Bruce and Allardyce ...

"Ferguson has his group of loyalists, Steve Bruce who has played for him and Sam Allardyce who thinks he will be his successor at Old Trafford ...
They (the FA) would have hammered anyone else (re. the jock's comments about Wiley's fitness) ... He (Ferguson) has a lot of control in this country.

Welcome to the Premier League's other 19 club's dug-out's Roberto ...

Amusing take from Martinez, seeing that last year he was strongly fancied to take over from Quoiroz's as Asst manager to the jock.

Good old Martinez! Not doing a bad job so far at Wigan, either - looks a tidy side from what I've seen.

Gotta love Martinez. Was a Wigan boy when you Prem tossers hadn't even heard of Wigan.

It's a seaside resort in Essex isn't it?

That would be hellish. But as it turns out, it's even more of a hellish place.

Wigan's all right as cultural deserts go.

He even admitted that Liverpool were the better side on Sunday.

Luckily the scum supporters pitched in to remind us what low lifes they really are

Carling Cup looking good this year - big teams in the last eight..

by beamer Wed 28 Oct 2009, 22:24

Six of the current top seven have made it through, even though often playing under-strength teams - I guess a lot of the lesser teams do that as well though these days, and the gap between second string teams is bigger than the gap between first teams!

Chances are the sides will be stronger for the remainder of the competition, it's a trophy after all which one or two teams are long overdue.

Arsenal V Liverpool was a damn good game. The Arse look a seriously good side going forward.

by DJ_Smerk Thu 29 Oct 2009, 04:24

Giggs better play this weekend. I need some good scores in my left centre midfield position!

We're gonna win the league, we're gonna win the league.... and now your gonna bel........

You're definitely going to win the Sack The Roy competition.

by PeterCS Sat 31 Oct 2009, 17:08

Hang on .... beating the Rams?? ... How did that happen??

by Merlin Sat 31 Oct 2009, 17:09

Arsenal all over the Hotspurts ... could so easily have been 5 - 0 had Eduardo taken his two chances.
Fabrege's solo goal was a classic .... hit them quick when the oppo's are still dazed from the previous goal!

GD +19 after just 10 games!
Neat.

Nah, I think the struggles have actually bonded most of the fans with Keane as they can see the effort has been there. We're celebrating a 1-0 win like we've just won the European cup apparently.

We're gonna win the leag......... etc

Yup. Arse and Chelski playing very well at the moment! Looking forward to our Carling Cup game against your lads..

Well that's the Scouse challenge all over for this season.

by ten years after Sun 01 Nov 2009, 01:40

Well, Readings absurd 2009 continues.

League record Since the end of January:

Home
Pl 16 W 0 D 6 L 10 GF 5 GA 19

Away
Pl 16 W 7 D 5 L 4 GF 23 GA 21

Reading scored the same number of goals at Coventry yesterday as they've scored in total at home since the 10th of March. If they were a horse they'd be ~~shot~~ dope tested.

by Henry Sun 01 Nov 2009, 04:38

I reckon Liverpool will have to win the Champions League if Benitez wants to be their manager beyond this season.

by G.Wood Mon 09 Nov 2009, 02:47

There's nothing like a Fergie sook in defeat to let you know all is right in the world

Taips very quiet on this thread recently...

I hate international breaks. I don't think we have a single international player, maybe Radoslaw Majewski with the Poland u23s (what's the point of that?). I just want some proper football instead of this dour international rubbish. Thankfully, this is the last one until early next year. There's probably an argument that it's well-timed with our side looking a bit tired. But eight games unbeaten and up to 8th - we don't wanna stop that momentum. The Championship looks a decent league this season though Newcastle are pulling away despite not being that impressive. Shows what a wage bill five times bigger than the next club in the league does for you.
