PREMIER LEAGUE 2009/10

Zidane wrote:I'll be well gone by the time Fulham v Chelsea come on and I'll probably wake up thinking Fulham have had a resounding victory !

I thought I had weird dreams, but at least they have a small bit of reality.

I thought Burnley might be a banana skin for the big clubs but it has proved to be a banana skin for the smaller clubs also......... Like Everton.








Cue Mr. 747.

Whats happened to Liverpool 3-1 down to Villa at Home....

I think Alan will be waking up with a head ache after that result.

Last season Liverpool lost only two games.This season they have lost two out of the first three
Maybe they are missing Alonso more than they think.
But looking good for the three London teams Chelsea,Spurs and Arsenal....at least Man City are doing well for the north
Its possible I.A. broke Roys record of 7 Siam Sato's last night !

Well 2/3 games in....
Spurs top....I did expect them to be in the hunt for a European competition at the end of the year. Harry is a good manager, especially on limited resources. I still think they will have a good season, but not this good. Will struggle against any side wanting to be physical against them.
Chelsea second. No surprise & will be there abouts at the end of the season too.
Arsenal third. That is a real surprise to me. I would have not have been surprised if they were the third London club at the end of season, but I was thinking Spurs second in about 5th. place. Wenger does it again - group of youngsters playing attacking football. I almost hope they win it this year as a punt towards the big money spenders..
United 4th...they only have to struggle on in contention until Christmas &,if they are, will probably fluke another win...
At the bottom....
Everton bottom.....same as a couple of seasons ago off to a terrible start.
Bolton, Blackburn, Portsmouth will probably all struggle all season. Portsmouth certainly look a good bet for the drop as you can only see their overall position (football, management & league) worsening

It will take till October for the league to settle down.Just look at the results so far as a merry-go-around..

Liverpool lose to Villa but Villa lose to Wigan but Wigan lose to Man U but Man U lose to Burnley but Burnley lose to Stoke but Stoke lose to Liverpool......

The only word I can think of is.......... Disaster. I hope you are right Zidane and things are a bit topsy turvy for a while I just hope it doesn't involve any more defeats. I had a headache alright Gal, brought about by smacking my head on the table. Any crumbs of comfort I could see after Spurs were eaten by the claret and bluetits...

Well it is not really Premiership, but the Carling Cup kicked off last night.
Kicked off being the word where Millwall & West Ham fans were concerned. The two sets of supporters are a little notorious for their past violent behaviour (films, documentaries & news reports of past violence is well recorded) & were at it again last night..

However the "bizarre match of the night" award must go to the Swansea City v Scunthorpe United game in Swansea.
It was a bit dull until Swansea made it 1-1 late on to send it into extra time. However, Swansea had Captain Monk sent off, followed by Dobbie being forced off with a rib injury with all subs used, making Swansea down to 9. Iron's were then gifted a penalty to go 2-1 up. Pintado was sent off for a second bookable offence for showing dissent to referee Linington making Swansea down to 8. Then his fellow countryman Angel Rangel followed just a minute later when the Spanish full-back was dismissed for seemingly elbowing Matthew Sparrow. Swansea down to 7. Tempers erupted in the dug-outs as Swansea and Scunthorpe's benches clashed as debutant Besian Idrizaj was fouled and was forced off. Swansea down to 6....

Football League rules state each side must have at least seven players on the pitch for a game to be played so with Swansea down to six men, Isle of Wight official Linington was considering abandoning this footballing farce with two minutes remaining.

However Swans boss Paulo Sousa had seen enough & forced the injured Idrizaj back on to the pitch despite his inability to take part just to see and end to it all....

Now the houlighans are on the rampage,watching it now on BBC!Any doubt the human is a flawed thing,is readily put to bed when watching behavior like this

West Ham and Millwall have a history of violence between them.Last night it seems there were hundreds of nutters and too few police.It certainly wont have done much for our chances of hosting the World Cup in 2018.
At least Jon at Chern Chim will be happy that Scunny managed to beat 6 men and 1 cripple !
And valiant must be a very happy man today after Port Vale beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 to earn the chance of playing against the giants of the Premier League (Spurs,Chelsea,Arsenal and Man City) or the mid table clubs (Man Utd and Aston Villa) or the relegation threatened (Everton,Liverpool and Portsmouth).

2 great signings for us this week tuncay and huth from middlesboro,also in talks with danny collins from sunderland who we play today shud be a good game they started well..

I reckon there's a good chance Shawcross will be going, hence the need for replacements.

Nice result For Chelsea..3-0....i mean, i didn't think it would be any differant...well maybe 4.

Yeah, competent result by Chelsea BM.....
I think they will be happy with just a win in the return fixture though. Burnley are not going to give too many points away freely at home....
