Hated Arsenal because of Bergkamp
Don't get me wrong, he was an amazing talent, but he was a punkass
OOOOPs, wrong thread
Please ignore my previous post
Potential loan, Everton is interested in Landon Donovan.
Arshavin puts Arsenal up 2-1 on Liverpool with a nice goal. (Don't want to jinx you arsenal fans though lol)
Nice win for Arsenal.
The Gunners remain in the hunt.
Nice goal Arshavin
Liverpool is a freaking mess, I can see Benitez leaving by New Year.
Arsenal is only 6 points behind Chelsea with a game in hand. I hope they get a striker in the transfer window.
Benitez is overrated as a head coach.
He's been exposed this season
Very poor first half by the Gunners. They needed an Liverpool own-goal to get back in the game. Arshavin's goal was great, though.
Anyway, important win for Arsenal who are somehow back in the le race for now.
/\ good thing it's a game of two halves!!!
It may not have been 5 goals in one game like Arshavin wanted but it was a goal worth 3 points.
We're back in this!!!!!
if arsenal manage to sign chamack, i think they can compete for the le. He's awesome. He's a poor man Drogba.
You still think so after tonight's game?
Fulham - ManUtd 3:0
Algerian Nadir Belhadj scored today vs Liverpool
It's also the 500th goal scored this season in the EPL
Ptsmpout wins 2-0; the otherAlgerian of the team, Yebda, played solid as well
good for FulhamericaFulham - ManUtd 3:0
Arsenal with a win that was harder fought than the scoreline of 3-0 might indicate. They are now two points behind United and still have a game in hand.
Chelsea is down 1-0 to West Ham. Was a very soft penalty against Ashley Cole. However, the linesman did screw over West Ham earlier by calling offside when Terry was guarding the goal line!
Man, that Belhadj goal vs Liverpool was awesome
Liverpool boyos
you mean the one that shouldve been ruled offside? or the second oneMan, that Belhadj goal vs Liverpool was awesome
Offside?
Man, you are really familiar with soccer
After scoring vs Liverpool, Belhadj with another goal vs Arsenal (they lost though

Another Algerian, Hadj Aissa, OWNS Cannavaro and scores vs Juventus

Damn I agree with this artcle; the EPL is overrated
When Nadir Belhadj sweetly struck a thunderous volley to open the scoring for Portsmouth against Liverpool at the start of the Christmas football programme it was the 500th in the Premier League this season.
This resulted in the 2009/10 season, beating the 1994/95 season for the record of the fewest games in the Premier League to achieve the feat of hitting this target in the fewest games.
For the statistic nerds amongst you, it was 17 games quicker than the previous record, or almost two weeks of fixtures.
This averages out to almost three goals per game, which begs the question; Where have all the good defenders gone?
Many say the Premier League is the best league in the world, I slightly disagree with this statement and feel it should be rephrased to; the most entertaining league in the world.
When you look through the defensive options available to all teams in the top flight of English football there aren’t many outstanding defenders, very few outstanding goalkeepers and a void of world-class defensive midfielders.
As it stands, Fulham and Birmingham City are currently amongst the tightest defences in the Premier League. The reasons for this, settled, uncompromising defences with players who are picked to simply defend.
Many teams tend to opt for defenders who can play football rather than select a Roger Johnson or a Brede Hangeland, who are selected to defend and defending properly is what they have prided themselves on.
Another concern in the ’defenders union’ will be the worrying form of so-called top performers of the past few years.
Rio Ferdinand with many an injury concern, has obviously lost his ‘mo-jo’ as has John Terry and this leads to worrying times ahead of the upcoming World Cup this summer, especially for England fans.
It is often said that the Premier League is blessed with the best in the business, but seriously do we have the best defenders, goalkeepers and defensive midfielders in the World?
I think not.
It is worrying that Manchester City were prepared to pay over £20 million for an average defender in Joleon Lescott. This to me shows a drastic void of top quality defenders in World football let alone the English game.
The game desperately needs to find some old-fashioned defenders in the mould of Franco Baresi, Tony Adams and Paolo Maldini or risk becoming a goal fest and not a balanced game of defence versus attack.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not wanting every fixture to be 0-0 but a more balanced, even contest, in which, it would be difficult to score against opposing teams isn’t too much to ask? Is it?

I became a Man United fan back when Peter Schmeichel was the keeper (like 1993 i think). That dude was absolutely amazing. They have never ceased to keep me interested since.
Grant it, i have fallen out of touch with EPL Football for the most part the past couple of years, but every time i can, i try and catch Man U playing, and they are always entertaining.
