Re: The EPL thread (II)

[Lara Lara Laughs]

Arsenal can barely string 2 passes together. United are all over them.

[spangler]

Liverpool, playing at home, knocked out of the FA cup by Barnsley.

Well it looks like it will be goodbye Rafa and thanks for the memories....

[Lara Lara Laughs]

3-0. Arsenal in tatters. "Who are ya?" is the roar from the crowd.

Lehmann should have saved that last one.

[Merlin]

Absolute bloody shambles?
Not surprised the ManU crowd are taking the p!ss.
Gooners being totally outplayed - and, as Hansen said at half time - there's only one team
showing a real hunger to win - and it ain't Arsenal!
Just hope Wenger let's it go and avoids the temptation to bring on big Addie ...
AC Milan beckon on Wednesday and that's a shed load more important game.

[Lara Lara Laughs]

4-0. Rout. Nani and Anderson have been class.

Justin Hoyte has looked absolutely hopeless against Nani.

[Lara Lara Laughs]

Nice to see 5 English players in the United side. Don't know how they managed to beat Arsenal without much talent though.

[Lara Lara Laughs]

4-0 it finishes then. Could have been 8.

Nani the best player on the pitch for me. Though the full backs, Hoyte and Traore were pretty poor. He must have beaten them 40 times.

Rooney, Anderson, Fletcher and Carrick were all impressive too.

Arsenal were always going to struggle after Eboue got sent off but it was already 3-0 by then anyway. I was away for the tackle and sending off and they didn't replay it. Everyone seems to think it was a shocker though.

Oh, and Lehmann was too slow and generally crap. Three of the goals were comfortably save-able.

[Lara Lara Laughs]

Just seen the Eboue tackle. Didn't look as bad as some people are making out. Only saw one angle but he just seemed to jump and stick his leg out a bit. Didn't look intentional.

[Makaveli]

Haha get in there, not really suprised United to lose twice in a row at OT? never gonna happen son, knew this was comming esp after last week.

Perfect example of how to play against the Arse close them down quick and don't let them pass the ball around, i think AC Milan would have picked up on this too.

Some concerns for Arsenal - Fabregas was cr@p and has been for a long time now, you can't come to OT like that and expect to win let alone draw.

Great to see Nani get under the Arses skin made them look very silly, even big mouth Gallas with his petulant kick at the end.

Rooney was superb but Fletch was my motd sublime performance, Unitedsyoung guns looked very promising - Anderson, Park, Nani. Ineteresting to see how the Arse react.

And to top it off the scousers lost, hahahahaha.

Bring on the title race.

[Makaveli]

Just seen the Eboue tackle. Didn't look as bad as some people are making out. Only saw one angle but he just seemed to jump and stick his leg out a bit. Didn't look intentional.

Eduardos challenge was even worser deserved a red more than Eboues.

Power and pace.....

[JKLever]

I know I'm going to go against the grain here, but if Arse get knocked out of the Champions league as well I predict they'll go on to win the title

As for Liverpool - pathetic

You've got 2 trophies left to play for and he puts out a weakened side FFS - the FA cup is well and truly dead as a competition.

But i'm sure as he's rotated all his star players they'll be fresh for the title run in!

Snigger...

[doremi]

I saw the Liverpool game till half time, thought they had it in the bag. I was wrong.

[LeFromage]

Just seen the Eboue tackle. Didn't look as bad as some people are making out. Only saw one angle but he just seemed to jump and stick his leg out a bit. Didn't look intentional.

He's had it coming though, Eboue - got away with some shockers in the last couple of seasons.

[Lara Lara Laughs]

Aye. He's a hot head.

If I were Fergie, I'd concentrate on winning the Champions League. It's the thing he wants the most. He knows that most truly great managers have won it more than once and he's even said so himself.

Though, with this squad, the treble is still perfectly possible.

I can't believe the Champs league is finally starting again next week. The break over Christmas is a massive one. I fancy Madrid or United.

[JKLever]

Nothing to do with the Premiership (this season at least ) but i'd just like to say - get in there Johnny Walters!!!!!!

[skully]

So much for Man U going into a slump!!! Man, what a hiding for the Gunners.

[Guest]

This picture really freaked me out for awhile. I thought that the two players on the left were only one player, and was slightly concerned about how he had managed to twist his head 180 degrees.

I guess someone has already mentioned that "that is what the FA Cup is all about"....

Champions League last 16 - tonights fixtures

Liverpool v Inter

Olympiakos v Chelsea


Inter big favourites to go through with the bookies, not tempted myself - even though Liverpool are playing crap right now this is Benitez' competition. Can see Liverpool maybe squeaking through?

[doremi]

Does Figo still play there?

[Makaveli]

Got a feeling it might be Milan Blues year they have a very balanced side, it can go either way a big thrashing or a close win for Milan Blue.

And yes Figo still plays for them.

[LeFromage]

Champions League last 16 - tonights fixtures

Olympiakos v Chelsea

The Flaming Bails sure-thing tip-o-rama says: 0-1 and 0-1.

[Lara Lara Laughs]

I'm going for a 2-1 Liverpool win.

[JKLever]

Liverpool are playing Lucas in their midfield - WTF?

Are Liverpool saving Alonso for the latter stages or summat?
