Football The 2009/2010 Season Thread

[Shagrat]

must wind Wigan fans up though, they really dont know who's going to turn up for matches, a team that can beat Liverpool, or a team that plays like my local over 50's.

although I dont suppose theres that much difference between the two when you think about it..........

 

[Raven]

I see Liverpool turned another corner tonight.

 

[CorNokZ]

Lucas over Aquillani..

GO GO RAFA! LOL

 

[Raven]

Liverpool..

You must spread rep yadda yadda yadda /yawn

Rafa not looking best pleased. Sounded absolutely devastated. Wonder if top four is still "guaranteed"?

Should be an interesting battle with you lot, Man City and Tottenham all currently in a better position than Liverpool. Nobody has a particularly easy run in, Tottenham have got it pretty tough next month.

Reckon MON can win a game in march this time?

We already have in the FA Cup. And now we have every 2.5 days to put the Premier League record right :/

Our run in, other than Chelsea and Citeh away, is pretty straightforward on paper. However nothing is simple for the Villa, we always do things the ridiculously hard way.

Rafa: Top four guaranteed | The Sun |Sport|Football

From December.

Premier League - Diouf 'could face jail' - Yahoo! Eurosport

God i really despise this guy.

 

[CorNokZ]

No video footage, so surely he can't be sentenced to jail, right Steven?

sounds like a bullshit story to me. Diouf is class.

Arshavin was about 10 yards offside in the build up for that goal, UEFA officials are the worst

Bendtner did take a loooong look back before he started celebrating

 

[cHodAX]

Same old Arsenal, always cheating....

 

[Calaen]

They are some team tbfh!

 

[Calaen]

Hattrick coming up!! would have got a canny price on it after the weekend

 

[megadave]

omg what a hat trick

 

[soze]

Good game did not think Porto could keep up that pace for more than 20 minutes. When they had not scored by 60 i did not think they would. Then Nasri kills it.

 

[leviathane]

15 minutes to go and the stands started to empty, only thing that really annoys me about arsenal fans.

 

[Wonk]

Only ronaldo has scored more goals than Bendtner in CL, afaik.

 

[megadave]

nasri's goal was sick, he made it look like he up against training cones

Blame the shocking transport links on the way out. Single file to get into the station? Narrow streets all round? It's a bloody mission.

A manc slagging off leaving the ground wow Worst thing about OT is getting away from it.

But yeah blame the council there was meant to be 3 stations on 2 different lines to help disperse the load but they close one on match days so its the same line.

Huh? Walk to metro station, get on tram home. Never had any probs getting out of OT

I drive. Train stations as an Arsenal fan are never friendly

Are you talking about the Emirates? Despite there being 60k people in there last year people were away quickly and easily. I thought the police did a smashing job controlling the flow of traffic and I didn't have much of a problem getting on a train, or being the other side of London for the theatre an hour later.

Did the Villa game have the segregated bridge? I know Man U and Spuds do Chel$ki did not though. Always helps the away fans get out.

OT is quite possibly the easiest ground to get away from if you drive. That said, I come from the north so straight past chill factor, past the trafford centre and you come to a huge industrial place, near the trafford park (?) pub thats now closed. Park on the industrial estate, 5 min walk to the ground, 5 min walk back, straight onto the motor way, nps. Has never taken us more than 15 mins from leaving the ground to being on the motorway.

Yep, little bit of knowledge gets you a long way.

True, im sure all the other grounds ive visited that ive found to be a nightmare getting away, wouldnt be if I knew where to park
