Instead of having a whole bunch of footie threads, perhaps we can have this one to cover all the footie games this season.

This weekend we saw the return of the English Premier League. I only watched Man Utd play, and what a great opening 20 minutes that turned out to be.

Pity about the deflection of Ferdinand, else we could have had a clean sheet.

Chelsea kicked some ass, and still seem to be the team to watch.

Hardies for Liverpool and Arsenal...

Gotta say though, that AIG logo on the Utd gear looks pretty lame...

OMG that logo is SO lame

But it doesn't bother me as long as Man Utd stay on top for the rest of the season!

yeah that AIG is rather dull

but Liverpool and arsenal ain't going to mount a challange with that kinda football they playing...

as for man utd lets hope this RIOT runs throughout the entire season

Damn, I guess I missed a good second half to Utd's game last night - 3 - 0 to them.

And perhaps an even better second half missed for the Chelsea game, since Boro won 2-1.

Yay! Man Utd... Woot!

Keep it up guys... 'cause Chelsea are still scaring me

Woot. htf are Utd doing it?!?

eTV are a bunch of idiots... they reported:
"Barcelona and Chelsea are in the same group, offering a repeat of the Champions League final of 2006"... followed by a clip of the Arsenal vs Barca final... idiots.

I LOVE seeing- 17. Arsenal

Surge

Sep 10 2006, 10:24 PM

So, it is 4/4 for Utd. Yeah!

This week is also some Champions League action - looking forward to that as well naturally.

Are the Liverpool fans still aching from the 3-0 hammering they got from Everton?

Well, I scare for me when Celtic scored first last night, but at least we got the points at the end of the night. Hopefully we will continue with the wins and not have the embarrasing exit we had in last year's Champions League.

Sunday is gonna be a good one against Arsenal in the Premiership.

Surge

Sep 17 2006, 10:04 PM

Met eish ja, met eish.

Sucks to have the 100% record gone now, but hey, Arsenal were the better team in the second half. Utd did some shoddy play and deserved to lose.

Well, at least we won in the Champions League last night. Sadly, due to a fuggered/fatigued brain, I missed the match.

Aston Villa are looking quite good, and I'm glad they managed to drag a point out of Chelsea in London!

Chelsea wins, Man Utd eventually clinched the points, and still, based on goal difference, we are at the top.

Arsenal has a point in hand, but even a win is not gonna be enough to go to the top, hunter.

Ahh... what a way for Rooney ti break his 10-game drought, by scoring that lovely hat-trick on Saturday. Good show from Utd overall, considering that it was said that they would have a tough battle on their hands.

Heir_of_Isildur

Oct 30 2006, 02:02 AM

Yeah, Utd picked their game up for that encounter

Funny how things go... everyone expected a difficult match for Utd and Arsenal to WHIP Everton ("Oh, Arsenal *orgasms* are playing the best footbal in the prmiership") and lookie what happened

Surge

Oct 30 2006, 02:14 AM

Yeah, but I just want Arsenal to play their game in hand soon, so that I can start seeing if I MIGHT have to keep R100 on the side for hunter.

hunter

Oct 30 2006, 04:44 AM

might? MIGHT

its a given!

though my current run on sports bettign aint going to well

Surge

Nov 5 2006, 10:04 PM

I think that I might become a Spurs supporter.

After Chelsea scored the opening goal, I reckoned that it was all over for Spurs, but what a comback for Spurs. Good game, and best of all, Man Utd is 3 points clear of Chelsea now...

And on another note, hunter, what you think about Arsenal's match?

hunter

Nov 5 2006, 11:05 PM

Its all a plan to make you overconfident...

I'm thinking its time for me to give up on the sports betting

Rossi lost world championship, 5k down the drain
Panthers are 4-4 in NFL, I had them pegged to win division. 1k down the drain
Arsenal, well lets not go there...

Oh oh I reckon I must give Mill the R100 to hold for me coz I am out of here in Jan

Yowza, that is quite a bit to lose on betting, hunter... That's why i will rather stick to the low-level bets - i hate losing money.

hunter

Nov 6 2006, 12:51 AM

Yeah well got to take the risks

The odds I had on Rossi were 8 - 1, I place the bet when he was 51 points behind.

Last race he had fought back to be 8 points in the lead, I was already spending the money

Then he crashed

Oh well he came back from 51 points down to lose by only 5, still the best racer ever

Panthers? oh well

I lost 5k during the world cup too

Back on topic though, Enjoy the Liverpool win? We finally seem to have found a proper striker

A proper Striker as in Kuyt???

you gotta be kidding

Geez hunter you shoulda taken my advice on the WC

pity I didn't throw my salary into that bet... coulda won a hefty sum with italy and all

As for Man Utd Keep up the good form... pity they lost mid-week due to Fergie playing the subs away from home

Bleh. A draw was what some would say a fair result for the Man Utd / Chelsea game, but obviouslya win for Utd woulda been better. But at least we are still ahead of Chelsea on the log.

Gotta say thanks to Arsenal for getting me ever closer to being R100.00 richer.

Nov 27 2006, 09:36 AM

Man U didn't deserve a point the way they played in the second half. Was actually pathetic watching them be run over like that, after they played so well in the first.

I think that Arsenal are playing the best football, although the results don't show it at the moment. This is a side to watch for sure, and especially next year.

I have no idea. I am not one of them, so not sure what they said. My comments are purely based on my viewing of the matches, and are unbiased.

Well, thaks for nothing Arsenal. The ONE time that you actually have my support, and you get a draw against Chelsea... but at least the gap only came down a little between Chelsea and Utd. Now Chelsea just need to get their games up to date, so that the log can look more definitive...

Well..... a draw is better than Chelsea winning Lobo.... and Chelsea almost did get the win...
