All this diving talk is making me want to jump in the water...

 

Anyways, Man United/Arsenal tomorrow at Old Trafford. Arsenal think they can beat anyone right now, so it's important that we bring them back down to earth. It's also important that we get something in this match, and shut down the likes of Fabregas and Arshavin. If Carrick and Fletcher (or anyone who is patrolling the midfield) can do this, Arsenal are pretty much screwed. I'm hoping United win this one, but with Arsenal's incredible form, it's just as easy to lose this match.

news come slowly to canada?

 

Fabregas wont be playing.

 

I predict a 1-1 scoreline

[TommyAngelo]

I'm still leaning towards Arsenal winning 3-0.. Man U won't know what hit them.

 

I'm just a little confident at the moment, heh.

[Waddy]

I think it will be close.

Start of the season, edgy...

 

We will see but I reckon a hard fought draw.

[Vercetti27]

We played Man UTD early at old trafford in september in 2006 and we won 1-0. Adebayor scored . Hopefully thats a good omen?

[Waddy]

Well I would say it was a bad omen considering he dosent play for you.

[Bates_GTA]

United win, maybe 3-1. Fabregas out in the middle, new Arsenal defender won't know what hit him, when he's trying to mark Rooney.

[King Of Monra]

 

Well I would say it was a bad omen considering he dosent play for you.

but he missed 50 times, so I'd say its a good omen.

:aware:

(over exagerating )

Fabregas wont be playing, he's injured.

[SIKKS66]

Kieto was right, anyhting could happen in this match. If United come out with their A game against an Arsenal side missing their captain I reckon we'll do well. Against the low moraled Everton and the pityful Pompey this season, Arsenal have had it easy. I'm expecting Rooney to carry on with his form and net a couple but no idea what the score will be.

[radicell]

I'm just hopeful. This will be the ultimate test of whether or not the early markers we've laid down will amount to anything. Hopefully the Vermaelen/Gallas duo can maintain their good form too, against the United strikers.

[The Killa]

Liverpool 3-2 Bolton

 

Shaky start but we dominated the 2nd half. Infact it really reminded me of how we played last season, we should be giving that type of performance every game, every half. Good to see that again finally. It could have been (should have been) 5-2 or 6-2, we wasted many chances and there were so many balls in the box that we played that could have easily been buried, but as long as we take the 3 points thats good enough.

 

Predicting a 1-1 for the Arsenal v. Man U match

[LanceVanceDance07]

Ah geez, I forgot about Fabregas's injury, slipped my mind.

 

Tottenham score a late winner over Birmingham to win 2-1. What an awesome second half. Tottenham top of the table (for now).

 

[Girish]

Not really. They're a goal behind Chelsea.

 

I was hoping for Tottenham and Liverpool to draw their matches, but it was not meant to be. Damn those late goals!

[LanceVanceDance07]

I seem to have my information all wrong today, I'm so tired.

 

I predict a 2-0 win for Man United, I hope.

[spdrlfc]

liverpool 3-2 today lucky win for us though

 

linky

[radicell]

I'm with you, man.

 

Arshavin just had a great chance missed. I think we're having some good counter-attacks today; let's score some.

EDIT: Arshavin! WHOO!

Three goals in the last three games for Torres, that will do for me. Good to see Johnson on the scoresheet again, keep it up lad.

 

Would of been easy just to callapse when going behind twice but the lads never caved in and had the confidence to come back. Conceding from a set peice again, we need to book our ideas up becuase it's taking the piss.

[gta 4 gamer]

Average performance! Rooney really needs support up front. We won't always beat Arsenal 4-0! Sheesh...

 

Berbatov on for Giggs.

Anderson on for Carrick.

Yeah, thats what i meant

[radicell]

Meh, f*ck.

 

Gotta give Giggs credit for that pass though.

 

EDIT: Diaby, you cock block.

Edited August 29, 2009 by radicell

[SIKKS66]

lmao, that was a bit harsh on old Wengerface.

 

Good result. Very well taken penalty by super Wayne and an amazing, stunning header by Diaby

[gta 4 gamer]

YEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! What a match! I had a feeling Arsenal will score at the last second of the game and did! But it was offside. A clear offside! Wenger been sent off! And after he was sent off, I lol'd.

[BreadBasket]

2-1 against the promotion favourites Boro! What a f*cking result... Never a f*cking penalty either, but watch out for Nicky Maynard in the prem next year, his goals were very well taken, and if I were the manager of a smaller team in the premiership, I would be scouting him out now.

[RockstarFan]

Felt a bit sorry for Arsene there

Still great game of football. 1st half was a bit boring, we looked a little shakey. 2nd half=game on. I was starting to rule Giggs out at the end of first half but did a hell of a lot in the 2nd. Great result and a perfect ending to a great game

[The Killa]

That was a hilarious way to end the match. Wenger looked so badass standing on top of the dugout with his arms crossed.

 

Robben made his debut for Bayern today, and slotted in a goal. 3-0 win over Wolfsburg

 

edit: Although I should mention United didn't have a "great" performance. You won off a shaky penalty and an ugly own goal.

[dills]

What a shame. There was at least a point in that game for us.

[Vercetti27]

We outplayed them, and received a fair share of bad decisions against us. We received 5 bookings for pretty much nothing. Pretty embarassing how footballs turned into a ladies sport.

 

I "lol'd" more when all the united fans (who don't appreciated irony) took the piss out of eduardo for his one dive in his career, despite ronaldo being the most notorious of the lot.

 

Bloody typical

You are WRONG. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. You had 6 yellow cards

 

Tbh it was a pretty woeful performance. Rooney looked tenacious and Fletcher was pretty dominant but the others left a lot to be desired. Giggs didn't have the best of first halves but he made up for it. We're still lacking that commander in the center of midfield.

 

Don't despair Arsenal fans, I'm pretty sure you'll put up a good fight this season. You sure did in this match, just didn't have the luck.

[Der_Don]

He scored twice. Great performance

[JOSEPH X]

Haha I was LMFAO when Wenger got sent to the stands - there`s no access to the stands, pure comedy. Ronaldo took a penalty and scored it for RMad, ballooned a free kick over the bar too. 3-2 Madrid

[Seddo]

How an earth didn't Arsenal get a pen when Fletcher went through Arshavin is beyond me. Rooney looked like he was already going down even before Almunia touched him.

 

At least the ref got the Eboue dive spot on. LOL @ Berbatov though.

 

Speaking of Arshavin, there's in no way he's 5'9", he looks so tiny to everyone.
