EPL Thread 2009/2010

Not to mention no Ireland - which makes their effort even more impressive in my eyes.

 

[CliffyIsGod]

Yeah, Bellamy and Ireland injured for the game.

Looks like Richards is right to this week, but Bridge out until 2010, with probably Sylvinho to play left back.

This is the test for city - old city would win against a top team then drop points against lower teams

 

[ManlyBacker]

Three big games this weekend.
Chelsea v Everton DRAW 3-3
Man United v Aston Villa VILLA WINS 0-1
Liverpool v Arsenal

CITY HELD TO A DRAW with the Wanderers
SPURS downed by Wolves
Now for the perfect weekend - go Gunners!  8)

We're back baby! Liverpool played well but suffered serious pain at the hands of Wenger's men. Woohoo.

Worst ref decisions ever. First goal was offside by about 2 meteres, then second was of a throw-in when his whole foot was over the line, Bellamy questions it and gets a yellow, then he is tripped while runnign at pace and gets a second yellow for a dive. Disgrace.

GGGGGUUUUUNNNNNNNNNEEEEEERRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hate to say it but almost typical City!

My boys are back in the bottom 3.....

 

[Zep]

tevez is the hero for city from what i saw.

 

[lsz]

another former hammer.......

 

[Volley]

Villa back up their great win over Man U with a comfortable win against Sunderland.

Going pretty well, just can't afford another second half of the season like last year.

 

[lsz]

Hammers are going down....just 3-1 to bolton in a "6 pointer"

Good.  The clubs plunder the 3rd world, and particularly Africa, like it's their own personal nursery, and they don't give much back.

 

[Zep]

Even though i hate to admit it, chelski do give a lot back to african football.

Be interesting to see how chelsea do go without those 4.

 

[lsz]

If you had to ask a chekski fan which two players they did not want to lose you would think Drog's and essien would come up....

 

[Fro]

how many of those guys play for Ghana?

 

[lsz]

Richard Kingson
Michael Essien
John Pantsil

Are all i know

 

[Zep]

Ghana is going to be our hardest game in my opinion. If Niel is playing centre back again we might be in trouble with his lack of pace.

I think we could hold Germany to a goaless draw, but we will have to outscore ghana.

 

[lsz]

What about Craig Moore next to him.....not a lot of pace there

 

[Zep]

Yep. So in essence we would have to kill it in the midfield and pray the left back and right back can do a job on there wingers.
