Greetings to All MWF moderators and members,
To kick off the 2011-2012 English Premier League Season Thread after 1 game is a bit too late BUT better than never!!! :Dancing_banana: :Jumping:
I believed that most of our MWF mods and members are very familiar with EPL. So let join the fun, sharing and debate.
(no argument, please ;D)
Which team will be this coming season champion?
Which team is the dark horse?
Who will be the top scorer?
Who will be the top assist?
How about new teams (QPR, Swansea and Norwich) performance in EPL season?
Others are all welcome to input! :Cheers:
Thank you very much for the support and sharing! :Cheers: :Cheers: :Cheers:
Let the game begin! (The actual games started last week :P)

interesting as at 9.32 am....newcastle top the chart....hehhehe
-

2 games for Arsenal, 2 RED card for Arsenal in the new season, what a start! :thumbsdown:

-

Fan booing
no big name in
no dark horse in epl I think
this yr...champion still the follow team...
Mu, man c who spent alot, Chelsea, Liverpool.
-
Who was it who said, "Football is a funny old game"?
Arsenal is one of the top clubs and Wenger is one of the best managers in the EPL - what's happening to them? :Confused:
-
2 games in the season and you're asking what's happening to Arsenal?
i am no Arsenal fan but looking at the stats of the game yesterday ..they are good with little experience that they have.
yes, they do not spend as much as compared to other clubs but they are the best managed club in the world ..bar none. enviable finances, stadium, returns, roster of players and etc.
Wenger may be a stubborn man who sticks to his own way and philosophy but you must remember, no one who played under him ever said a bad word about him. even Le Sulk pays gratitude to the man. He does not sign world class players, HE makes the players WORLD CLASS
-
I'm no arsenal fan but I like arsenge wenger, he is a gd coach n a top top one!
I love his football... It's club like Chelsea n man city that spoiling the epl by throwing ridiculous $$$...
Arsenge was jus unlucky, arsenal was committed to the emirates few yrs ago... Cash tight!!!
Then the board manage to make $$$ from selling star trained up by arsenge..
So they refuse to spend like other Chelsea, they thought Chelsea won't sustain n they belief money can't buy a team but players... But mourinho proof them wrong! Then b4 Chelsea stop spending, man city spending.... Arsenal is caught, all players lost fate n the team spirit jus gone...

Well I agree, "He does not sign world class players, HE makes the players WORLD CLASS" :thumbsup:
Still to early to predict, but I hope Liverpool will be top 4 in this season :thumbsup:
-
Which team will be this coming season champion? MU
Which team is the dark horse? QPR or THotspurs
Who will be the top scorer? Suarez or Agueira
Who will be the top assist? ---Dunno---- (maybe Rooney or Agueira)
How about new teams (QPR, Swansea and Norwich) performance in EPL season? Of the 3, QPR is my best bet to be the better team and will rival the rest of the mid-table Premier league clubs.
Others are all welcome to input! :Cheers:
-
Which team will be this coming season champion? Liverpool
Which team is the dark horse? QPR (coz Tony is dark, that's why)
Who will be the top scorer? Suarez
Who will be the top assist? Kenny (coz if he sees those players with chicken leg, he will PLAY),
How about new teams? QPR, coz Richard is not in ;D
Liverpool will be back to the top 4 this season for sure :Cheers:
Hopefully, "you'll never walk alone"

I'm an Arsenal supporter for more than 20years but very disappointed now. Well, I agree Arsene Wenger is a good manager, but he is TOO STUBBORN!!!
Arsenal has becoming a selling club and his youth project is failing even the blind can see but he is not doing anything about it. The defence and the goalkeeper is the main area where Arsenal is dropping points but he is not doing anything about it.
No way Arsenal can win the title with this team even with Fab and Nasri. The Arsenal mediocre players were offered a big fat long term contract without needed to win anything.

Am not a Gunners supporter but tend to agree with your comment.
Gone are the days of Tony Adams & Patrick Viera.
Used to be top 3 together with MU & Chelsea.
My prediction of top 5 teams by year end:
1) MU
2) Chealsea
3) Mancity City
4) Liverpool
5) T Hotspurs

Really impressed by Sir Alex's ability to bring out new, young players and mould them into a potential Championship winning team.
Salute! :thumbsup:

Its the Fergies' new fledgings in action - Cleverly, Welbeck, Jones etc. Only the last twenty minutes the "oldies" (Giggs, Rooney etc) were showing they are still a force to reckon' with.
Overall, I believe it is a good work-out by MU in trying to gel the "old" stars with the new players.

"KENNY DALGLISH hailed his Liverpool stars after they ripped Bolton to shreds ............. Liverpool 3 Bolton 1"
The King's men continue their formidable form :Cheers:
zitan, agreed with your statement as Liverpool played very well in both matches against Arsenal (last week) and against Bolton (yesterday) :thumbsup:
one of the EPL title contender!
-
For the limited amount of money Kenny paid, he has assembled a very good team :thumbsup:
eh..... not really "limited" ...unless you consider 120 million chicken feed. but of course you got to factor in the sale of Torres for 57 million in.
but that is still a lot of money.
-
The only buy from King Kenny that I don't understand is Andy Carroll from Newcastle....
BMW if u ask me...

still only 23 and alot is very promising. think they expect too much from him the air.. and kept on crossing for him to head whereas the opposition also expects and predicts he's a threat in the air and close him off.
they tend to forget he got a hard shot too as from the goad against exeter
robbie keane is different because Rafa did not chose to buy him at all thus do not know how to figure him in his plans and tactics. just like Schevchenko and Torres in Dinamo Chelski for Maureen and Carlo.
Carroll is doing quite well drawing the attention and pressure off other players to score. if you watch the matches, his movement and positioning is very good.
-
The only thing I notice from him is he's slow, do not dribble well, lazy to move around the park... he just stays on top and hope for some defending mistake.
If his positioning is good, we would have seen him score a few simple tap ins from close range... I think he's lacking the killer instinct...
The same instinct that made Ian Rush, Robbie Fowler and Micheal Owen lethal...
Well, this is from a laymans view watching the game... ;D
I hope someone can spoonfeed me with visual guides... ::)
-
they are playing a 4-5-1 formation ..why should he track back?
Rush, Fowler and Owen are different type of strikers... he's more of in the Aldridge mould. Do you complain that Shearer is lazy and do not dribble also?

Man Utd 8-2 Arsenal
I didn't watch the game as I predicted that United will by 4 goals but 8-2? I respect Wenger but I think his time is up at Arsenal...

+1 from an equally disappointed gooner..at least we can hopefully look forward to some transfers
-
New Fergie fledging in the making?
I watch the first half before going to sleep, and I was disapointed when Arsenal got in the one goal during extra time before the first half is up.
I can only comment on the first half action - Arsenal was at lost, ie there is no commanding figure to lead the team in the mould of Fabregas. They also lost a good striker in Nasri. Arsenal defending was absurd. IMHO, Wenger will need to shore up his defence first, then get a leader to man the midfield. (a commanding figure like Roy Keane or Patrick Viera or Lionel Messi or Xavi)
Apart from Walcott, I do not see any good strikers Arsenal possess as compared with MU (eg Rooney/Nani/Giggs who can be in midfield or striker, Berbatov, Chicarito)
Just my 2 cents worth of opinion.
-
The Frenchman was barred from the touchline, & in any form of communication with the team in that game, wasnt he?
I thought he was sitting with his team in the visitor's dugout.
He probably wished he was banned from watching the thrashing the Red Devils gave his Gunners. :Blue:
Yeah....it's time to think about a new man in charge for Arsenal. :Mad:

After a (expected) disappointing start and after the thrashing, it is even more difficult for Arsenal to lure experience players in. At the end of the day again, only the young promising players are interested in Arsenal as a stepping stone training ground.
"The difference between Manchester United and Arsenal is signalled by the wingers each manager has bought." quoted from ArsenalNewsReview
Sir Alex has paid £15 million for Ashley Young, who already looks so good that Ryan Giggs might not be getting many games.
And Wenger signed Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain for £12 million. AOC will be 18 on Monday but he cost only three million less than a 25-year old England winger.
Does that make sense?
-
yea..its either young promising players or players from mediocre teams that want to play CL football. very sad for a once powerhouse english team. how i wish some of the rumours of star player purchases were true. what with the dwindling transfer window, the expectation of a last-minute transfer of an experienced star player is very remote unless Wenger lets the money do the talking.

Our french uncle was with his team at the visitor team dugout with the black sad face. ;D
-
for his age, carrol is a good signing. The thing is the price tag can be a huge burden. The good thing is the press is not hounding him because these are loads of stuffs to write about.....manu's kids, city's strikeforce, arsenal's troubles....even torress not scoring makes a more interesting story. Furthermore, liverpool is doing well. hopefully all these will buy Andy some time. He still got loads to learn.
-
Finally, Arsenal signed some experienced players...
Germany captain Per Mertesacker, 26
South Korean captain Chu-young Park, 26
Andre Santos, 28
Mikel Arteta, 29
Israel's captain Yossi Benayoun, 31 - On-loan
-
Liverpool? quite a few surprises....
Bellamy is known quality..only thing is he is more pace than guile and at this age, i wonder if he can still deliver....but i believe he is purchased as a back up or alternative....but who knows..maybe he'll be a Gary McAllister part 2 ?
Meireiles- biggest surprise...read many theories on why he left...especially handling in the transfer on the last day itself...but i think it has to do with salary and also he's not guaranteed playing time...But interesting that AVB went for him...Maybe Raul thinks since he's going to sit on bench, might as well do it with Chelsea (higher pay and also chance of CL football). or perhaps AVB is going to revamp Chelsea's style of playing and make Raul a regular?
hm.....everytime we scored against Chelsea they bought our players..hahah!
Coates- highly rated...whether he'll turned out to be another Palletta (disappointment) or Hyppia...we shall see..
the rest---Cole, Poulsen, Ngog..expected la..

These are not typical wenger signings as he must be pressured to sign after kena hantam. I would say Wenger real signing is Alex Chamberlain, young with pace and it's the most expensive signing this season by Arsenal. 12mil for an unproven kid.
-
At least a heavy defeat forces him to buy some players. I was beginning to think he wont buy anymore even when fabregas left. Interesting to see how they fare in their next match.
-
Next match will be this weekend, ie tomorrow & Sunday.
Time sure flies when you are in Holiday mood.
-
This weekend will be international break.
-
This weekend will be international break.
Oh ya.
BTW, last minute "shopping" by Arsenal. My guess is that Wenger is looking for a stop-gap measure after the mauling by MU as it is not his policy to buy players after a certain age.

MWF members, please share your opinion of yesterday match. :Cheers:
MAN CITY 3 vs WIGAN 0
ARSENAL 1 vs SWANSEA 0
STOKE CITY 1 vs LIVERPOOL 0
SUNDERLAND 1 vs CHELSEA 2
BOLTON 0 vs MAN UTD 5
Look like the Manchester "brother" is leading the way in the EPL!

Semua menang, except Liverpool, not luck for that day :thumbsdown:

Both the Manchester matches + Chelsea match is "deemed" won by "heavy-weights".
In the Arsenal vs Swansea match, the Gunners is lucky to win 1-0. It could be a draw or a loss 1-2. But Arsenal midfield is slowly taking shape with Arteta as the main engine. Hope he escape injuries to show how good Gunners can be without Nasri & Fabregas.
Liverpool match? KD blamed it on poor refeering but I reserved my comment as I did not watch the match. (At least the others, if not live, also delayed and replay matches).
Cheers.
-
Just no luck, Liverpool attack like hell in the last 15 min, until cow drop, still not manage to find the Goal. No one to blame, just lack of luck :thumbsdown:, will be better next match :Praying:
-
Possesion of 73% but no goal. Something wrong.
But heck, that's football.
-
It is really painful to be a gooner right now.
Blackburn 4 Arsenal 3
-
MWF mates, kindly share your prediction for tomorrow match (Games of the week) :Cheers:
MAN UTD vs CHELSEA :Dancing_banana:
TOTTENHAM vs LIVERPOOL :Jumping:
Sorry, no prize or gift for correct prediction. ;D
-
Possesion of 73% but no goal. Something wrong.
But heck, that's football.
Well, the ball is round and can go both ways.
My guess is that the Reds may have pissed off somebody "up there", hence the loss.
-
My predictions :
MAN UTD vs CHELSEA = 4-2 (if Fergie opt for young team) or 2-1 (if Fergie choose the senior/elder players)
TOTTENHAM vs LIVERPOOL = 1-2
-
It is really painful to be a gooner right now.
Blackburn 4 Arsenal 3
Yeah... really "mou ngan tai"(no eye see). Change is needed. Maybe Wenger should go!
-
69% possesion, arsenal is dominating the game
2 own goals loosing 4-3 is jus bad luck...
Loosing 2 key players is hard...
With no luck... Wenger is having his lowest in his career
-
Chelsea Mr. Torres just register himself in the history of EPL goal scoring record in today Man Utd vs Chelsea game.
"the miss of the century!" :o :Startled: :Laughing_on_floor: :Laughing_on_floor: :Laughing_on_floor:
this not good... :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:
-
My predictions :
MAN UTD vs CHELSEA = 4-2 (if Fergie opt for young team) or 2-1 (if Fergie choose the senior/elder players)
Since Fergie send in a mixed team (Carrick & Berbetov in, Cleverly out), I guess a scoreline of 3-1 is fair. I watch the whole game and my comment is that the Blues blew their many chances, especially Torres. He was playing near to his top potential, but missess a lot in front of goal, especially the open goal fiasco.
Rooney balooney from the spot kick, a painful memory similar to Terry's spot kick in the Champions League a couple years back.
Overall, both teams has its misses chances.
-
even a non-supporter of Man United like me have to agree and admit that Man United played like champions and deserve to be champions again this season.
-
MAN U 3 - 1 CHELSEA.
I enjoyed watching the game and the misses caused more excitement than the goals! :Startled:
Rooney was unlucky, but Torres will be having nightmares for weeks to come! :'(
BTW, Arsenal & Liverpool were terrible. I won't be surprised if both M. Wenger & King Kenny gets the boot from their (no - nonsense, it's strictly bizz) American owners. :Scolding:
Take care, Ciao! :thumbsup:

"Arsenal gives Wenger vote of confidence
LONDON, Sept 21 — Arsenal are not in crisis and fully support Arsene Wenger’s efforts to turn around the club after a poor start to the season, chief executive Ivan Gazidis said yesterday."
"Arsenal had to come from behind to beat League Two (fourth division) Shrewsbury Town 3-1 at The Emirates."
"Arsenal’s terrible start to the season looked like continuing when they fell behind to James Collins’s 16th-minute header for Shrewsbury."
“It was a bit nervy because we played against a good side,” Wenger said on the club’s website (arsenal.com). “I said before the game the lower divisions have improved in the last five years and you could see that.” - as reported by Reuters.
Hmmmm.....aren't these the usual signs that the manager is on his way out? :Blue:
Have a nice week, Guys & Gals.
Take care, Ciao! :thumbsup:
-
King Kenny cannot blamed the referee all the time for his team performance.
He told all the Liverpool players that they have let the club and their fans down with 2 Red cards and a huge scoreline. On the other hand, Spurs, who was beaten 3-0 in earlier matches came back strongly by performing well in their last 3 matches.
Arsenal - still rebuilding.
-
QPR 1-1 Aston Villa.
Rangers owned (mainly) by our Tony F, with MAS logo on their jerseys.
Villians showing Genting Casino on their jerseys.
& not to be left out, the Ref + officials with Tune Group on theirs.
Malaysia Boleh! :Dancing_banana: :Dancing_banana: :Dancing_banana:
BTW, the final last 20 min was good football as QPR went in search for the equaliser.
Take care, Ciao! :thumbsup:
-
QPR & AV match was good.
MU & Stoke City match - MU was s0-s0 only, no penetration in their attack (Chicarito was out injured, Looney was left lonely injured) as BErbetov and Owen not known for speed. At least Nani, Young was good at the wing. Valencia did well as a defender but his expertise should be in the wings.
Stoke City played robust football, (what do you expect of burly men and well-built bodies), Crouch was fouling every MU players during set-pieces and corner kicks. Lucky for him referee is "blind".
Overall score 1-1 is fair, but IMO MU played below their best slightly.
-
watchnewby, i'm 100% agreed with you that MU played below their usual standard of attacking football even with the return of Rio Ferdinand in the central back. :thumbsdown:
With Rooney and Chicharito injured, i hope :Praying: Sir Alex will fully utilise his young strikers, wellbeck and macheda rather than use berbatov and owen.
-

I wish Sir Alex will give Macheda some games. Still remember his 1st senior goal & it was a real piece of skill and nerves.
But since the next match is a euro champ match, I think Owen and Berbetov will get the nod for their experience.
Berbetov's a good, skillful striker but he's suffering from lack of confidence at the moment - witness his miss against Stoke. :Startled:
Hopefully, he won't need as many games as Torres to find the net & his confidence.
Take care, Ciao! :thumbsup:

Yes, Sir AF should utilise the younger workhorse as his attacking machines.
Why? 1) For exposure 2) Speed 3) Opponents does not know their strength or weakness as yet.
As for the next match, which is the CL, hopefully Sir AF can find the better striking combination to sharpen MU's attacking power.

I remember in the match vs Chelsea, when Rooney set up Berbetov and his shot was saved by Cole near the line. Then in the Stoke City match, he really missed his shot.
Hopefully he can do better, if not he will be down the pecking order of Sir AF's attacking line-up.
-
Man U 3-3 Basel.
Wel-come-beck, Danny! This boy's good.
No wonder Berbetov & Owen are down the picking order.
2 away draws in a row for the Red Devils. Maybe a touch of over-confidence due to their excellent start this season? :HammerHead:
Over the Blue side, Tevez's still feeling blue :Blue: while Mancini mood's black :Mad: & the fans are fury red! :Scolding:
I wonder if the big "Welcome to Manchester" signboard with Tevez's pix is still up?!? :Laughing_on_floor:
Take care, Ciao! :thumbsup:
-
The headlines read :"Champions League Results: City sunk, United embarassed"
IMO, MU threw away a 2-0 lead, trailed 3-2 and needed an injury-time equaliser to salvage anything from the match. Two Danny Wellbeck goals gave United what would have seemed like an unassailable lead but MU blew it and was trailing 2-3 until Ashley Young's headed goal which prevented what would have been one of the greatest upsets of all time from happening.
Hope MU wake up at the next CL match.
-
as for the defense, i think UTD really really need to be tougher..............the boys cant just depend on Vidic forever..................
Agreed.
Ferdinand is getting old; and if Vidic is out injured, who else can MU depends on for a solid defence?
-
Man U 2-0 Norwich City.
Shebby Singh says,
"It's not that Man U played badly but Norwich City actually played extremely well.
Unfortunately, they tired towards the end....
The top, and more experienced, players get calmer nearer the goal while the rest just hit and hope."
I thought this he was talking about our local league as well! :laugh:
BTW, I also thought there were some excellent goalkeeping over the weekend.
Special mention to Wojciech Szczesny & Tim Howard for their heroic efforts. :Cheers:
Take care, Ciao! :thumbsup:
-
Man City 4-1 Aston Villa.
Liverpool 1-1Man Utd.
Wonderful display of attacking football by the Blues while the Red Devils showed their never-say-die attitude at one of the most hostile (for them & Everton) grounds ever.
Looking forward to next Sunday's REALLY BIG game - the Manchester derby! Any bets?
Take care, Ciao! :thumbsup:
-
Aston Villa was in total chaos, Man C just nailed it......

Yes, wonderful attacking play in open game by the Red Devils.
Manchester Derby - City 1 United 0 (if AF chose his senior players like Giggs, Park, Rooney, Berbatov etc)
The score will be City 1 United 2 (if AF chose his young players like Chicarito, Welbeck, Smalling etc)
-
I was jumping for joy when Gerrard scored... and pissed as hell when the little chili equalized... :Scolding:
Good game though... 1st half kinda boring... all guns blazing in the 2nd and even the last 3 minutes of stoppage time, both teams still looking for a win.
As for the Manchester Derby, I hope for an MC win with Balotelli scoring 2 and not celebrating and showing his "lansi" face as usual... then kena sent off late in the 2nd half... :Laughing_on_floor:
-
I still belief the Red will finishes as top 3 by the end of the season :Cheers:
Nope... they will be crowned champions... ::)
-
I am a bit skeptical, I hope they are in top 4...
First is Red in the land, then there come the Devil, then Blue come to the rescue, and Gunners just there to protect... ;D

More LCLY from Balotelli with the "Why always me?" under shirt when he scored...
And most importantly Man Utd 1 - Man City 6!!
No one saw that coming...
Balotelli did score 2 like I predicted... did not get sent off but taken off... :mooning:
-
somehow i expect that result as MC is really stacked in every department. The depth is just astounding.
-
Man Utd 1-6 Man City.

When I saw City's back 4 as compared to Man U's, I thought the Red Devils will have a devil of a time scoring and keeping a clean sheet. :HammerHead:
But 1-6?!?!? :Scolding:
Hats off to Mancini & the Blues. :Cheers:
On a separate note, congrats to the All Blacks for winning (not convincingly, though) the Rugby World Cup. :Dancing_banana: :Jumping: :Dancing_banana: :Jumping:
Take care, Ciao! :thumbsup:

SAF said this is the worst ever defeat over half of a century in his game but hopefully they will bounce back from this heavy defeat. :Praying:
-
Wahahhaha how come no calls for ol red nose' head like Wenger?
-
Watched the M Derby last night. At 1-3 with 10 minutes to go, was expecting MU to go for broke, but with 1 man down and then MC scored to make it 1-4, I know MU's fate is "numbered".
But 1-6? :'( :'(
MCity's back 4 is solid and look at their reserve team. Easily MC can field 2 different teams with the scores of players they have. I put my "hats off to R. Mancini & MC.
Hope MU will bounced back in the next match.
Off topic a wee bit, the All Blacks won the Rugby World Cup over France. Congratulations to team New Zealand.
Cheers.

Chelsea 3-5 Arsenal.
Wah-lau-ye! Another weekend, another shocker! :shocked1:
It's results like this (+ last week's Manchester derby) that make the BPL interesting.
My apologies to M. Wenger & Arsenal for writing him & the Gunners off early in the season. :Praying:
Man City 3-1 Wolves.
I used to follow Wolves in the old days of English 1st. Division football.
Not expecting a miracle, I thought it was a fair result given City's all round strength.
Really enjoy watching David Silva & Kun Aguero play. :Jumping: :Jumping: :Jumping:
The blue side of Manchester looks good for now but......
Everton 0-1 Man Utd.
I think the Red Devils are best at winning while not playing their best football.
That's how they won last season's championship. :Cheers:
Perhaps the brilliant start to this season is actually bad for them as the players & fans got caught up in trying to keep up with Man City's goal scoring feats.
Maybe Sir Alex & Man U should go back to their 'boring' style & focus on winning the title rather than trying to win every match with style.
Let's hope the fun continues.
Take care, Ciao! :thumbsup:

Yes, another week, another shocker. The Blues lost at home and what a goal fest. 8 goals scored in this match. This is definately "entertaining football".
Agreed with your assesment on MU boring style of play which produced result.
There are some who view good attacking football with style who also wins matches like FC Barcelona, but how many can emulate them? Arsenal - plays flawless passing game, and nice free flowing attacking style, but where does that leave Arsenal ?
Sometimes a "slow and steady" build-up game like what MU does last year is the correct "formula" to win games. Of course, If Sir AF starting eleven consists of the young guns, they will want to impress the world and plays a fast attacking game. IMO this tactic can only be effective against some opponents, not all the opponents.
Cheers.

Arsenal 3-0 West Brom.
On the surface, looks like a comfortable win for the Gunners at home & it was.
The high point was Van Persie's performance - 1 goal & 2 assists.
The low point is going to be the Van Persie factor - what will happen to the Gunners if his form drops or worse, if he gets injured? ???
To me, Arsenal has to improve its squad if they are to be a force again.
Man Utd 1-0 Sunderland.
I thought it was a low key performance by the Red Devils, especially at home & on a BIG occassion - Sir Alex's day. :Cheers:
Don't tell me they got the jitters!
At the end of the day, it was 3 points in the bag + another clean sheet & I guess Sir Alex will be happy enuff.
QPR 2-3 Man City.
Another weekend, another near shocker.
Ohh, how I wish!
City just have too many quality players but my respect to the Hoops for a wonderful game of football.
Congrats also to Newcastle (the other unbeaten side left in the BPL) & Swansea for the brave display at Anfield.
Take care, Ciao! :thumbsup:

Yes, that is how MU played last season racing to become the League Champion. MU should play a steady game, unlike a good passing game for show but porous at the back.

Norwich 1-2 Arsenal.
Man City 3-1 Newcastle.
Swansea 0-1 Man Utd.
No surprises here, a case of same old-same old.
Balotelli may be the most LCLY player in the BPL, but he's GOOD! :Scolding:
I feel the Gunners are overly relying on RVP while the Red Devils need to rediscover their ruthlessness - as 1 commentator put it, "Other teams don't fear United anymore." :Blue:
Biggest results of the weekend: :Cheers:
Stoke 2-3 QPR.
Chelsea 1-2 Liverpool.
I heard Tony is putting up 15 million Pounds for QPR to buy more players & have asked fans for suggestion.
Looks like the Hoops may be here to stay.
Can't help wondering if some of those money comes from MAS - which means all M'sian taxpayers have a stake in QPR! :P
Match of the week, with the biggest controversy: :Startled:
Wigan 3-3 Blackburn.
Take care, Ciao! :thumbsup:

1) Yes Gunners is relying heavily on RVP after the other players like Nasri & Fabregas left the Gunners.
2) MU is slacking in their last 3 games. They have to tighten up their game, else they will not be at the forefront for this season.
3) As for the Blues, AVP is most likely to follow Brucie's footsteps if the Blues owner got pissed off with < 50% result. 5 losses in 9 games in all front.

Wolves 1-2 Stoke.
I watched this game becos I used to like watching Wolves during the old days of the 1st. Division and Stoke is THE surprise of the season so far.
The Potters are in the top half and has qualified for the knock-out stage of the Europa Cup. Great job! :Cheers:
Just as some people watch motor-racing hoping to see some crashes, you'll not be disappointed with Wolves.
They are a (very) physical side and their midfielders play like bulls protecting their turf - charge at the opposition and bang them down, hard! :HammerHead:
They survived last year's drop by the skin of their teeth, and this season, the lack of proper talent is showing.
Having said that, I do wish they'll survive this year cos it'll make the league more fun to watch. :laugh:
Newcastle 0-0 Swansea.
The Toons were flying almost as high as Man City until they met on 19/Nov at the City of Manchester & lost 3-1. :(
Their last win was right before their 1st. loss:
05/Nov. Won at home v/s Everton (2-1).
Since then they had not won a single match: :thumbsdown:
26/Nov. Drew away to Man U (1-1).
03/Dec. Lost at home to Chelsea (1-3).
10/Dec. Lost away to Norwich (4-2).
17/Dec. Drew at home with Swansea.
So, what happened to Newcastle? How and why did they loose their mojo? :shocked1:
Well, the chairman Mike Ashley decided it's good business to change the stadium's name from St. James' Park to The Sports Direct Arena.
And this happened on 10/Nov - coincidence?
Or is it a case of bad feng-sui?
Time to bring in the masters - Lillian Too? Joey Yap? :laugh:
Looking forward to tonight's matches.
Take care, Ciao! :thumbsup:

Silva(MC) and Rooney(MU) help their teams to win in last Sunday matches.
QPR 0-2 MU.
Rooney was good in this match and so was Carrick. I like watching Carrick plays and in the last couple of games, he has contributed a lot. Good job, MU.
Aston Villa 0-2 Liverpool.
Bellamy and Skertl came good in this match.
Man C 1-0 Arsenal
This was a good Sunday match which pits two of the most entertaining teams agaisnt each other.
In the end it was Silva who end the deadlock in the 52nd minutes. But a lot of fouls was commited and 5 yellow cards( 2 MC, 3 Gunners) were shown by the referee.
Tomorrow night will feature 2 matches :
Wolves vs Norvich
Blackburn vs Bolton
-
If only we have a Fowler like player..translating all those missed chances to goals...sigh...
-
Anyway, things doesn't look too bad for Liverpool. In Daglish analysis, in the club last couple of matches, their players has hit the woodwork 17 times and if the woodwork is not there, then the Kops will be in the top 3 position in the BPL. Only no Luck.
-
Last weekend, MC was held to a scoreless 0-0 with a "minnow" club, WBA.
MU did better by putting 5 against Wigan.
Spurs did well to mantain 3rd position, with Bale in outstanding form.
Reds, Blues and Gunners all played to a draw with their respective opponents.
New Year eve matches will be good to watch to see who will top the table at the half way mark.
-
Looks like MC is leading the pack at the half way mark. If they can mantain their momentum in the 2nd half of the football season, they will be the new League Champion. With MU hot at their heels, Mancini has better not let the team out of steam.
MU's lack of good defender to replace their crock list gave them a "yo-yo" performance. They tried to keep up with MC but if they cannot perform against minnow teams, then they may lose the league championship to MC.
The surprise this season is Spurs. Tottenham has earned their "spurs" by mantaining 3rd position so far.
The old hands like Reds, Gunners and others who at one time are among the top 4 or 5 teams in the league are not doing well this season. It will be interesting to see the performance of these teams in the second half of the season.
-
Capello quits as England team Boss over Terry's affairs.
Back to topic - up to the 1/3 way mark, it is still a "2-horse" race between the Red and the Blue halves of Manchester. Chelsea and Spurs are hot at their heels.
Last weekend games was entertaining, especially the Chelsea-MU match.
After Chelsea leads by 3 goals to none, I though MU lost again, but what a magnificient fightback, albeit over a controversial penalty kick, by MU to draw level.
This is what MU should be playing day in and day out. The "never-say-die attitude.
Cheers.

Hello!
What happened to all the footie fans?!? ???

Not much to watch already, MU already have the title in their pocket, unless they're going to shoot themselves in the foot during the final 6 games, only that way could ManCity catch up. Others like Arsenal already confirm a CL spot, final spot will be decided in the last 6 games, newcastle, tottenham, chelsea will slug it out for that spot.
Relegation part is more interesting, except for wolves which is confirm going down, the other 2 places are still up for grabs, bolton, qpr, blackburn, wigan. I personally think the final standings will be like this:
1. Manchester United
2. Manchester City
3. Arsenal
4. Tottenham
5. Chelsea
6. Newcastle
18. Bolton
19. Wigan
20. Wolves

Not really, as ManU drew with Evberton 4-4, while MAnC won at Wolves 2-0.
The title will be decided at Etihad this weekend : If ManU won and won another game from the last 2 games, ManU will be the League Champ. If MAnC won at Etihad, they will lead the title race on goal difference.
Back to Everton game. What a fightback by Everton. They used to be MAnU "B" or "C" team, reason being majority of their players are formerly MAnU players. But I like what Moyes did to the team, turning an average team into a team that can surprise many.
As for relegation teams, Wolves will be the first to go down after 3 seasons in the Premier League.
The other 2 places will be a "tussle" among the followin clubs - QPR, Wigan, Bolton and Blackburn.

This weekend's EPL match of the season Manchester City vs Manchester United.
Who will win ?

Only time can tell~ :P

dare not say which team... both are good this season, if few years ago i would say MC ::)
-

IMO, a few years ago it is MU.
But now, MC with lots of $$$ can give MU a run for the money as they have strengthen the team by buying good players and a good manager in Mancini.
-
money can buy good player and good manager... even a trophy for short term....
but money wont buy you class....
u owned all the limited edition and the most expensive of hermes bag also doesnt mean u hv class

yes money wont buy you class or trophy... but from they way Man City has been playing all season... i am certain that it has really bought them some real classy football unlike Chelski.
they and Arsenal are the only 2 entertaining teams in the league as far as I am concerned. No bloody pumping the balls from the wings that is so synonymous with English football.

MU Down the Way!! :Laughing_on_floor:

It is really uncharacteristic for MU to implode like that.
Normally when MU gets their noses in front during the 4th quarter of the season, it's all over.
But it's not all over for MU yet as i see MC's 2 last matches are tricky especially Newcastle.
QPR is not an easy one too as they will be fighting till the last day to avoid relegation.
MU meanwhile have to take on Swansea which is already safe with neither relegation or european football in sight.
And against Sunderland which is in the same situation as Swansea.
But football being football, there are higher powers dictating... ;D

Agreed with the above comments. MU should play attacking football and not defensively like what happens in Chelsea-Barcelona mstches
-
Newcastle and THotspurs won their respective matches and ase now 1 points behind Arsenal with 2 matches to go. The battle heats up for 3rd and 4th placing.
My guess is that MC and MU will be #1 & #2, but for #3 & #4 will be anybody guess. If the Gunners falter between the last two matches, then Newcastle and Spurs will be take over among the EPL Top 4 teams.
-
I love old red nose, when they floated the club and gained tons of moolah to enlarge the stadium, pay astronomical wages, transfer fees and etc... He never looked at his own reflection and said that's an unfair economical advantage.
U wanna see a shoestring budget working wonders? Ask the professor.
Just because someone comes in with more cash, does not mean that it's buying success. It just means the playing field is being leveled.
-
Money doesn't buy success in football but its almost becoming the obligatory down payment nowadays....Nasri ineffective? throw in multi-million signing, Dzeko. Tevez is showing tantrum? Put him in cold storage because they can buy Arguero and use him. Goals dried up? Errr....persuade Tevez to come back (and probably increase his bonus). And what if Dzeko, Arguero and Tevez can't score? Well, >20 million pound Toure should do the job...
However, I do respect Mancini for his ability to put the team together.
-

A good example is Everton. A team on a shoestring budget but can match the cash-rich clubs.
Last night matches point to a ManC winning their first League Championship. ManC 2 Newcastle 0. MU 2 Swansea 0. I would have thought that MU will try to score > 2 goals, like 6 or 7 goals to narrow down the goal differences.

What a finale!!!
Title sway left and right and finally stay put in the last 5 minutes of injury time.
One of the most exciting BPL season!!

Hey Fergie....Devon who? :Laughing_on_floor:
-
indeed the most exciting ways to end a football session, by scoring 2 goals in stoppage time to clinch the tittle for Man City :o
-
Hey Fergie....Devon who? :Laughing_on_floor:
I am in Hong KOng right now. Watched that match at the hotel bar on the night I arrived. The people were all quiet when QPR was 2-1 up. When the header put it at 2-2, people went loud but still thought City was goner. When the 3rd goal came a few seconds later, the whole bar went mad. This must be one of the most exciting matches ever, will be remembered for a long time to come (better than the 2005 Liverpool - AC Milan Champions League finals before the extra time and penalty shootout).
-
I'm a Man Utd fan. Watch the match at home that night. Really "gan chong" and feel sad when saw Man City score the third goal. However, what i can say is, Man Utd, add oil next season.
-
Congrats man city ! Looking forward to this sat champs league final ! :Dancing_banana:
Go Chelsea !
-
Congratz Manchester.... City~ ^^
:Cheers:
Congratulations to ManC.
What a finale! Probably one of the most exciting BPL season!The title sway left and right on the last day and finally stay put in the last 5 minutes of injury time. For the first time, two teams shared the same number of points and only decided on goal differences.

I think Man U would have a lot to do and a whole revamp of their players and also their managerial positions next year.
I trust Fergie would honour his words and commit seppuku or atleast C4 himself since he explicitly said Man City would never win the league in his lifetime.
So Fergie ...do the honourable thing and go kill yourself. :Laughing_on_floor:
