man Pepe Reina really screwed up after Liverpool held strong for 45 minutes down a man. Those 2 points will haunt them til the last matchday. I think this season will once again be Chelsea and Man Utd fighting for 1st

It always is and will be forever. Money has killed the premiership.

[lefty]

Rafik halliche is officially with Fulham

Newcastle tried to lure him away, but Halliche really wants to play Fulham

Really happy for him; from the Algerian league straight to Benfica, then to the EPL, and he is only 23.

He is a hard-working and quiet guy, he deserves it

[Sense]

Damnit Berbatov you selfish bastard, Chicharito could've easily scored twice had you given the extra pass

[Libri]

Chicharito was the first option off the bench. Ferguson showing confidence in him.

[quentin_compson]

Nice win for Arsenal, and a big game by Walcott. Would be great if he finally were able to show some improvement on a consistent basis.

Hell yeah that save was amazing, rightfully Man of the Match. Wigan look horrible to start the season, lol 10 goals in 2 matches

[SAtown]

Damnit Berbatov you selfish bastard, Chicharito could've easily scored twice had you given the extra pass

Seems like we'll be saying a lot of this throughout the season, especially since Ferguson's attacking B team seems to be Berbatov and Chicharito together. There's sooooo many occasions where Chicharo feeds Berbatov for a 1-2 and Berba decides to take the bad shot instead of pass back. Ever since he arrived at Man U he's had something to prove and he tries WAY too hard

[TDMVPDPOY]

pathetic performance from manutd against fulham...

that nani wanker, wtf is he tryin to be like ronaldo from hairstyle to footwork? wtf

[resistanze]

Deserved 2-2 tie. Man U was lucky not to be down 2-1, if the ref had the stones to call the penalty on Vidic.

I'm a HUGE Man Utd fan but DEFINITELY not for Ronaldo...
I was actually glad when he left for a couple reasons....
1. he was a selfish player who rarely would play any defense
2. it gets rid of all the "fake fans" who cheer for United because of pretty boy Ronaldo

Interesting year so far.... Berbatov has been on fire!!! Rooney is ....well....not on fire.....

Lots of good young talent.

Now if only Chelsea would lose a game.... :bang

[resistanze]

The EPL is great. One of the only leagues I feel that any team can pull an upset.

[ogait]

so people outside of england actually watch the EPL? i mean i know man utd has a big fan base bc of becks and ronaldo but really?

EPL is the best league in the world by far. Most of the games are entertaining, fast paced, direct football with teams going back and forward. Plus the refereeing is great usually without many whistles and dead times, and players almost don't even dare do dive there because they know the refs don't call that.

It cracks me up when some claim Spanish league as the best one. It produces some entertaining matches but the competition is really low with only 2 teams with a legit chance to fight for the tittle, plus watching Barcelona dominate every match with 70 % possession gets boring after a while if your a neutral fan.

Serie A is not even close right now.

[DAF86]

Lately In England the champion is always either ManU or Chelsea.

[Torontonio Rapspurs]

Lately In England the champion is always either ManU or Chelsea.


I think the gap will be closing soon
With man City throwing cash around like they've been doing, they will be awfully tough to beat.

You have to think that it's just a matter of time before Arsenal & Liverpool turn things around.

[DAF86]

Liverpool is going downhill right now, and Arsenal has been kinda the same team (flashy, with great young talent but never a real threat for the big boys) for almost a decade now.

And Man City won't win anything untill they fire Mancini, he has the talent to put a better more dangerous team on the pitch but he prefers to throw Tevez (a guy that isn't even a center forward, he's more of a second forward) all alone up front and leave guys like Adebayor on the bench.

More like five years.

[resistanze]

[quentin_compson]

Just like Arsenal to waste the chance to get closer to Chelsea.

[resistanze]

That defense was atrocious, almost as bad as Almunia.

[mabrignani]

damn arsenal got worked today

[mystargtr34]

to be honest i havent taken Arsenal seriously since 2005... love to watch them play .. and they bring alot to the table.. but just dont see them as seroius 'contenders'

[resistanze]

Arsenal has basically turned into a glorified farm team. They churn out good young talent that eventually gets sold off.

You can't expect too much, since success in top flight leagues basically depends on your spending power. Arsenal spent a shitload of money on the stadium and haven't made a big signing in years.

[velik_m]

Almunia sucks. Arsenal should get a decent goalkeeper, then they would be a serious contender. Right now they're just the Phoenix Suns of premiership.

[sonic21]

Arsenal needs a top striker and a good GK to be elite.

[quentin_compson]

Arsenal needs a top striker and a good GK to be elite.

Oh, they have one, unfortunately he spends at least as much time at the doctor's as he does on the pitch.
Arshavin is a good striker as well, Chamakh definitely has the potential to be one.

I agree about the GK, though. Almunia is decent but not great - and he has a tendency of screwing up a little too often. This position has been a problem since Lehmann started living in this fantasy world of his a couple of years ago. And I haven't seen anything from Fabianski or Mannone that indicates they could soon be ready to replace Almunia.

[Torontonio Rapspurs]

Man City 1 Chelsea 0

:-)

[SAtown]

Damn what a strike by Alex to bury Arsenal

[resistanze]

Chelsea's new name should be Daddy Gunners. Drogba's has violated Arsenal for like the past 4 years. Granted, the Gunners had some injury woes, but I doubt it would've mattered.

And that free kick by Alex was ridiculous, I'm surprised the ball didn't rip through the net.

[quentin_compson]

Considering all the injuries, Arsenal didn't play bad. But Chelsea is just more efficient, and Drogba was having a field day once again ... :depressed

[Muser]

Liverpool are fucking shit :lmao how does this team get contender status before every season?

[velik_m]

I think it's safe to say this championship is Chelsea's to lose.

[DAF86]

And Man City won't win anything untill they fire Mancini, he has the talent to put a better more dangerous team on the pitch but he prefers to throw Tevez (a guy that isn't even a center forward, he's more of a second forward) all alone up front and leave guys like Adebayor on the bench.

Tevez's agrees.

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/3165121/Tevez-in-mother-of-all-bust-ups-with-Mancini.html

[Muser]

2 things.

1) Chamakh is a soft diving twat, that was never a fucking penalty

2) Fuck Wilshere the dirty prick.

[quentin_compson]

1) Chamakh did go down easily, but there definitely was contact and I think it was enough to warrant a penalty (I wouldn't have screamed bloody murder if there hadn't been a whistle, though).

2) Horrible challenge by Wilshere. I don't think he wanted to harm Zigic, it was just a stupid and terribly mistimed challenge. He fully deserved the red card, of course (he admitted that much himself).

Apart from that, it was a very uninspired and unconvincing performance by Arsenal. I was kind of waiting for a late equalizer on a header after a corner or a free kick. Good thing they got the points, but it was one of the worst games I've seen them play in a while.

True, but getting three goals against a team that had conceded just five total before is still impressive.

Also true, and he wasted a very good opportunity early in the second half as well. I guess he's still not as sharp as he usually is due to lacking match fitness.

Pretty predictable, Arsenal was lucky, could've easily be 3-0 or more.

They need a finisher up front, and until Van Persie gets better and in form, they will struggle against better teams.

It was about the conversation with another poster (forget who) about the possibility of Arsenal and Barcelona playing again in the Champions League. As Arsenal has had some good wins this season and were atop of the premier league, that alone made me consider perhaps Barcelona wouldn't be thrilled about playing Arsenal either, compared Arsenal's reaction in drawing Barcelona had they/if they.

I hadn't watched Arsenal play until this point. What's so wrong about this particular case? Not like I'm trolling about anything, I'm barely a Barca fan and not really invested on that team's success...

[SAtown]

My apologies for being misinformed and having misread the thread.

It was about time Arsenal played a really good game, especially against top-tier competition. Pretty impressive performance overall (minus the usual goal, conceded on a high ball after a set piece once again). This team is so much better with Cesc, even though he is not at 100% yet. Chelsea was pretty poor, though. Maybe the Gunners can go on a nice little run now. Come March, they won't have to play CL any longer, so they can focus even more on the Premiership.

Gave up the lead with a man advantage.....Wenger made 8 changes....unreal.


Meh, I don't get why everybody is so upset about those changes. Chamakh, Arshavin and Squillaci are usually part of the starting 11, so they more or less just returned yesterday. Bendtner and Denilson have been starting quite a couple of games as well. The only changes that brought in players who usually don't play that much were Rosicky and Eboue (who also was playing on the "wrong" side). Diaby was coming back from an injury and needed some match practice.
Arsenal had more than enough quality on the pitch to protect a lead against ten men, but the sad thing is that Arsenal are abysmally poor at playing with a one-goal lead (pretty much regardless of who is playing). You should be able to do that if you want to lift the trophy at the end of the season, though.

Well, Baby Gunners came to play today. Could've been 5-6, easily.

Man U got lucky as shit...first the professional foul in the box isn't called on Neville, then West Brom misses a penalty they actually get...geez.

[Muser]

Good game Arsenal, just outplayed in all areas tbh.

[scott]

Bolton loses in the 91'. :(

how the fuck does ManU always find a way to escape???

bendtner is not good enough to start for a title contending team. Denilson should never start in place of Song except maybe in domestic cup games. Chamakh only had a regular start because Van Persie was injured. It's unfortunate Fabregas couldn't play because of suspension. Even if Wenger wins, the changes are still questionable. That's why it's so tough to support Arsenal....why not build momentum with the win over Chelsea with the same core of players? Then Wenger goes on guaranteeing Arsenal will win the title...what a guy

Gunners have talent, but lack of experience has been a major issue

Gunners have talent, but lack of experience has been a major issue

Lack of killer instinct is probably a bigger issue now. Hell, most of their players have several years of experience now.

In Arsenal's defense, City mailed it in 1/2 way through the game and played for a tie.

[Muser]

Yeah City played for the draw.

lol Chelsea.

[Spurologist]

Team of the day is fucking Manchester United. Tottenham, Chelsea, City, and Arsenal all drop point while Sir Alex sips on cigars. Fuck United

They are some lucky fuckers, I swear. How they're still undefeated, I'll never know.

[Muser]

Ancelotti will be sacked, it's between him, Hodgson, Grant and Houllier for the first to be sacked. My money's on Hodgson.

[quentin_compson]

Arsenal was a bit unlucky with the woodwork, but you just have to get at least one goal out of the chances they had in the first half, especially against a good defensive side like City.

[quentin_compson]

Good game by Arsenal after those stinkers against Championship teams Leeds and Ipswich. Van Persie looked a lot better than the last couple of games.

[resistanze]

Yeah, I was hoping West Ham would be easy pickings, they are in last place after all. It could've been easily 5 or 6 goals to be honest.

Now only if Robie (and Cesc) can stay healthy.

[Spurologist]

It's a good day whenever ManU loses points....I'm still waiting for their first loss.

Ronaldo roars back at Balotelli

Cristiano Ronaldo has told outspoken Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli to talk less and concentrate on his football.

Italian international Balotelli has been at the centre of a number of controversies since joining City from Inter Milan last summer and recently made headlines by taking a swipe at Manchester United's Wayne Rooney.

But Real Madrid star Ronaldo, who made his name at United alongside Rooney, hit back in Gazzetta dello Sport: "Balotelli? He's a good player but he must talk less and think about playing more.

"In the Premier League, if he knows how to listen and wants to learn, he could become a great player. I hope he achieves that. However, today he puts many other things ahead of his career and this is not good."

Balotelli, who is currently sidelined with a knee injury, is set to go head to head with Rooney in the Manchester derby at Old Trafford on February 12.

"He [Wayne Rooney] is a very good player but not the best in Manchester," Balotelli said on Tuesday. "Our attack of Balotelli-Tevez-Dzeko is the best in the world - better even than Barcelona and Real Madrid. We are the strongest and we can win things now - we just lack conviction."

The City striker also delivered his verdict on his former coach at Inter, Jose Mourinho, and said current boss Roberto Mancini would soon be regarded a better manager.

"Mourinho is the best coach in the world but as a man he has a lot to learn about politeness and respect," he said. "[Mancini is] the most important coach I've had. Soon he'll be the best in the world. As a man he's 10km ahead of Mourinho."
LOL better attack than Barca & Madrid

Fabregas is amazing. I know Van Persie had the hat trick buy Cesc's vision is something else.

Yeah, it's going to be a sad day when Cesc will be leaving for Barcelona. Decent game by Arsenal, they easily could have scored twice as many goals as they did. And Man City lost, which is good as well.

Fucking hell. Blackpool up 2-0 in the 72nd minute against Man U and blows it all.

yeah I'm baffled as well, Torres is one of the most overrated strikers in the world in my opinion. I'd rather have Chicharito, for a tiny fraction of the price.

his last 3 seasons was only one good season and 2 injury seasons, at his peak i dont think his worth 50m...villa at his peak was only worth 35m, and his 2x the player torress is, if torress was that damn good he be startin over Villa on the national side.

chelsea overpaid for his services when they were the only club bidding hahaha dumb ass wankers

as for carroll lmao, 35m for a championship player promoted to EPL newcastle one good season? gtfo....the clown who bought out newcastle last season got a good return

Vidic with a rocket.

[quentin_compson]

It was just a matter of time for Arsenal. Van Persie 2-1

That was Koscielny, but the corner came from van Persie. Tough game for Arsenal. In the first half, Fellaini was owning Arsenal's midfield all on his own. They got better in the second half, though. I'm glad Arshavin got the goal; it seems like forever since he actually did something useful on the pitch.
By the way, how Saha's goal in the first half is not waived off I'll never know.
