Football (real)

[diddle]

Ok, seeing as every other prediction has been made, I predict that you won't play at all - the game will be called off.

[Sniper08]

its a great game and arsenal just took the lead ,i cant believe that they are beating barcelona

[diddle]

What a game! Barcelona died in the second half, and Arsenal beautifully took advantage of it, brilliant to see English football topping Spanish football for once (even though Arsenal's style is more Spanish than English)

[icedagger]

All together now...

And it's Arsenal
Arsenal FC
We're by far the greatest team
The world has ever seen

arshavins goal was what barcelona usually do to their oppentents ,i was shocked that they actually lost this game especially going 1-0 up in the first half but i bet that they will come back hard at arsenal when they go to the camp nou

All together now...

hmm "the greatest team" , when was arsenals last league title?

[JoshyBoy]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! HELL YEAH!!! 2-1!!! BRING IT ON BITCHES!! YOU'RE GETTING PUMPED AT THE NOU CAMP!!! WOOOOO YEAH BABY!!!

[Lord and Master]

United 1-0 Crawley Town

Bloody hell we made hard work of that, got to admit I was actually willing the non-leaguers to score just for the fun of it but still glad we got through...

Well done Everton for knocking Chelsea out too, happy to see A. Cole missing his penno

Now just hoping Shitty get knocked out tomoz and it'll've been the perfect weekend of FA Cup action


*EDIT* OK Shitty went through in quite impressive style but ARSEnal struggling against Leyton Orient is especially piquant given that the draw has been made pitting the victors of that tie against United at OT!!

Any pearls of wisdom icedagger?

[GreecePwns]

Ahhhh, those were the days.

Question: Do you like this way of shootout better than the current one? I actually think this is better (starts at 2:20).

[diddle]

It swings the odds more in favour of the keepers.

I've never seen that style before, agree with you it's better than the traditional penalty shoot-out though, more exciting and less down to blind luck

[diddle]

81 minutes through a depressingly boring United match.

[JoshyBoy]

Man Who?

That was pish.

[Sniper08]

we'll get them in the second leg,barely any english teams ever win against marseille at home so im glad we got atleast a draw out of it

also im glad gattuso got banned for four matches, his behaviour was unacceptaable especially for a captain.

[Lord and Master]

Hey a clean sheet away from home is alright at this stage of the comp. We will get 'em at OT mate you're spot on there...
I thought it was an ok match, bit of cancelling out occurred but both teams had bright spells, thought Marseille defended very well and Nani kept plugging away even when for a while it seemed the ref had just taken a dislike to 'im!
Fully expected Arsenal to beat Stoke but was surprised it was only 1-0, shame about Walcott & Fabregas *snigger*

Hey, we'll take 1-0. The requirement was to beat them and we did, although it would've been a nice to thrash the filthy c***s. I really feel for fabregas though, hopefully he's able to lead us out against brum.

I thought Man U made it a little bit hard on themselves. 0-0 isn't a bad result, but it does give marseille a real shot. I'd still pick united to make it through, but there could be a few nervy moments for them. Chelski should be fine as well, and hopefully AC actually show up in the second leg against spurs (even if you want spurs to win, it'd be nice to actually see a proper match). Oh and arsenal to beat barca 3-0

[Lord and Master]

I was with you all the way there... right up to the "Oh..." where you inexplicably seemed to start rambling inane nonsense! 3-0 indeed, the bookies'll love you

[jeraado]

lol, I'll take a 0-0 draw with 10 defenders if it gets us through. Somehow I don't see it panning out that way though

[Sniper08]

Wigan 0-4 Man Utd

Man Shitty 1-1 Fulham

United back to 4 points clear at the top while city could be soon out of champions league places.

[Lord and Master]

Yup good weekend for United, always nice to see Liverpoo lose too

I missed the Carling Cup Final, any Arsenal fans here like to tell me what happened?

[JoshyBoy]

We'll see how chirpy you are when you drop a minimum of four points against Chelsea and gifting us the league.

[Nola_Lifer]

Lets hope Cole knows how to shot on goal and not on interns.

What, like how you gifted Birmingham the Carling Cup?

[JoshyBoy]

Yeah, something like that.

[GreecePwns]

Enough of this European stuff, March 19 needs to come and fast.

Now that's a proper club.

[JoshyBoy]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNDDDD... that's the first three points dropped by united! Thanks Chelsea!

Another 3 points to be dropped in the return fixture, and the title is Arsenal's for the taking.
