No I believe he left because someone offered him a shit load of cash

Lescott certainly didnt do anything today to make me change my opinion that he aint worth 24 pence

It was a good game with great goals but was ridden with errors.

How a team can get away with the mistakes that Foster and Ferdinand made and yet still win... Oh wait, it was Manure... 96th minute goal from Owen I believe?

The thing is they were two individual errors, Man Citeh just look generally dodgy at the back. Man U looked like scoring in every attack.

If Citeh are gonna do anything this season then they are either gonna need to shore that up or make sure they score plenty of goals down the other end.

Well they've had 3 clean sheets from 5 games and only conceded against Arsenal & Man Utd, I'd say that's not too much to worry about just yet.

Yeah I suppose but they certainly didnt look water tight today

having just watched MOTD, the manchester derby was definetly the best game of the season so far, giggs was superb , fletcher was awesome and bellamy is definetly one of the best finishers in the prem

Absolutely, especially if they aspire to win trophies and championships, they have to go to places like Old Trafford and take points, especially if they want to send out a warning to the rest of the footballing world

Thats the expectation that comes with spending more than £200million on players in little over a year but as we've proved on many occasions and also Leeds too, spenidng shitpiles of money does not guarantee success

Definitely agree with that mate

Never really liked any Man U players but always quite liked Giggs. He looks like he could actually keep playing forever.

His delivery and general play today was fantastic.

Saw this game and the Chelsea game.
Even this early in the season it's looking like a two horse race, but somehow there's a big difference between these two teams.
There's a certain magic about ManU and it's always exciting watching their games.
Chelsea play as a highly efficient footballing machine, but where's the magic?

That's where I grew up, nice part of the world

Lescott and Richards both looked all at sea, and lack of cover from midfield dosent help them either

How sad never mind

Daren Fletcher has just made it 7-3 to Man U

I'm so glad Big Sam picked up that nice fellow Diouf instead of that twat Barton!

And to even think the fat bar steward was rumoured to want to bring the twazzock to a good, clean club like our own.

Glad to see he likes picking on bairns.

didn't Cliff once sing....

Got myself a spitting crying cheating squawking el hadj jouf

when it was raining at wimbledon?

what an odious kent he is (jouf not cliff like)

Fuck!
Coral was offering 7/1 on Agbonlahor scoring first.

Ha!


Spurs 5-0 Burnley !!

I'm not happy, should've been at least 8. Although a win is a win, I guess.

No draws in the Prem again

Thinks I should do well with my dreamteam this week, Keane 4 goals, Torres 3, O'Shea & Bramble 1 each.

Made a wise decision making Torres my captain this week, unfortunately dont have Robbie Keane though.

Sunderland were woeful and still scored 5 but the strange thing was Jones taking the second penalty even though Bent scored the first and was still on the pitch.

As much as i hate to say it, Steve Bruce looks like he's built a good solid squad there, you still look a touch dodgy at the back but overall, they look good. If i were you i'd be disappointed if you didnt finish in the top 10

On another thread before the season started I said 10th but now I'm thinking 9th.

Your wit is drier than a nuns c.unt.



I predicted a top ten finish for the unwashed before the season started, I think that is looking highly likely. Just beat the Spuds (and Hull and Blackburn and Villa), thats all I ask.

10th - if you're lucky:

1 Man Utd
2 Liverpool
3 Chelsea
4 Arsenal
5 Tottenham
6 Man City
7 Everton
8 Aston Villa
9 Blackburn
10 Sunderland

Tick tick tick tick.....

Just wait 'til the own goals and sending off's start to kick in you mad impetuous fool

I only had £2m left!! I managed to get 180th for the week in The Sun, not bad but not the £1000 I was hoping for, if only I'd had Bent instead of Owen as my 3rd striker.

Maybe stick a 1 in front of the 9 and you might be just about right

Looking forward to us finishing 21st this season.

Can't believe Pompey have allowed Paul Hart to recruit an assistant - what the fuck difference will that make?? He's useless, absolutely useless.

Tell you what, mind. Is it me, or is Steve Bruce getting better? I'm wondering if we might regret not having installed him, even though I was at the forefront of those saying he shouldn't be brought in. He'll never manage us now, of course, for good or ill, as it's Old Trafford next for the bloke. Which brings me on to something I find remarkably odd - out of everyone in the World, what compels chairmen to employ geordies to manage mackems, Man U legends to manage Citeh, Chelsea legends to manage West Ham...etc. Football is stupid.

We have a Bolton Wanderers & Preston North End legend managing Blackburn Rovers!

Aye Fat Sham is indeed a legend in his own mind

I assume you mean he is just going there to watch a game or do some scouting?

You forgot Limerick FC.

Another win for Fuckingburnley!

Sunderland leading 2-1

What a ball by andy Reid for the 2nd goal. Trappatoni needs to stop being such a stubborn old kent and just pick him for the Ireland squad.

17 min of added time!

Another goal in added time by Manure!
WTF!

It's in the Rules.

MU must be given extra time whever they are behind.

And that's only fair when the opposition have had the cheek to go out and try to win a game at Old Trafford.

Sunderland played well though I'm afraid..

Sir Alex probably left the ref a nice bottle of champers in the dressing room as a sort of thank you

Seriously, even though its Sunderland, i would feel the same, cheated, your performance deserved a win, no question.

Yes i know the ref is supposed to add on time for timewasting, but didnt notice much in the way of that from either team TBH.

So on this one occasion, you have my sympathy.

Because they had the right attitude and were not scared until the last few minutes.

Chelsea are way better than Man U and the 3 points Man U have nicked in the last 2 games are papering over the cracks becsause they are the worst Mun U team in many years. Barcelona and Madrid will fucking kill them unless Man U get a daft pen or the Spanish get a shit sending off.

I fucking love Sunderland and Arsenal.

Arsenal 3-2 up aginst Blackburn after 36 mins

Blackburn's defence is all over the place, I expect them to tighten up in the second half otherwise they will be in for a hammering here

5-2 to Arsenal with ten minutes to go.

Arsenal could have scored ten today, they've sliced Blackburn's defence to pieces umpteen times. Cesc Fabregas has FOUR assists and scored one himself.

Aye, spellbinding they've been, they certainly know how to rip apart the lesser teams, unlike some team in Manchester that play in red
