Newcastle v Derby, 14:00 Geordanians
A bumper weekend of Footy on TV and an especially good time to be an Arsenal fan, we're on the TV shedloads over Chrimbo. Even the beeb have us on for the FA Cup. :eek:
Back to matters at hand, firstly the big match this weekend (imo of course
) is the Norf Landan Derby between my beloved Arsenal and Totteringham Hotspurs. Based on the kids performance midweek and the previous win over Chelski, coupled with the fact that Spurs are more than likely gonna have a Kaboul/Zokora CB pairing, I think we're value for the win.
Elsewhere on Saturday Villa-City should be the pick of the other matches which have quite a dull feel to them, but then again you would have said that about Wigan - Blackburn last weekend and look how that turned out... Pool - Pompey *should* be an emphatic Pool win (The Boooo-kies have Pompey at 7/1 :eek:) but I'm thinking 'Arry will be having some of that 7/1 himself.
The matches on Sunday should be entertaining enough. Expect cards and tackles in the Blackburn-Chelsea match. The Utd-Everton match should have some good footy for the purist in it. Moyes has Everton playing nice football this season. Yakubu to score anyone? And Newky should continue on their Unbeaten run
And so ends my pointless spiel.

Nice start to the weekend with the derby. Hard to see past an Arsenal win although Spurs are starting to win and keep clean sheets now
so who knows
Man Utd Everton - This will be tough for Man Utd if they don't score early(ish) enough.
I reckon Liverpool Pompey could be a cracker to..0 -

This weekend is absolutely huge, as big as last weekend. All the top 4 are playing the effectively next 4 top teams in the league. I think United have the toughest game of the 4, Everton are scoring for fun, and really getting stuck in. Gona be a lot of pressure on United to win this game, and I hope they can.
Arsenal and Spurs is a derby, anything can happen. Berbatov showed signs of getting back to form, so i'm hopeful
Portsmouth are gona give Liverpool some real problems imo, especially in terms of pace at the back. If it goes 4-4-2 from Rafa again, Liverpool might find themselves exposed. I'm hopeful that Liverpool can drop further points here, but they are a team who like to bounce back.
Blackburn I think might have the edge over Chelsea here, they have lots and lots of injuries at this stage.0 -

I know, surely worth a sneaky side bet.... even as a Pool fan
i just threw a tenner on it, i feel so dirty. I think we'll win but after the last week of games who knows where the teams heads at!
anyway 2 questions:
1. why is the chelsea game scheduled for 16:10 tomorrow?
2. who is o'hara for spurs?0 -

Two things have surprised me today.
1. The Arsenal performance-embarrassing for them imo. This is basically the second string Spurs team and we ran them close. I imagine that is pretty humiliating. I really dont think they will win the league if they play like that aginst our ressies.
that has me in stitches, it really has.
Arsenal won a game they shouldn't have won. two stunning goals basically out of nothing. if that doesn't smack of league winning potential then seriously, i don't think anything can then. embarrassed? it's Spurs who should be, threw away another game.0 -
Jesus christ, Keane's two best skills are probably his vollying and his penalty taking, and he missed absolute sitters today. Unreal, I really can't get over it. Also shoulda been a second penalty too but thats unlikely to happen.
Arsenal really really rode their luck today, but you gotta do that sometimes. However, I'm hopeful that they won't get so lucky some other days
I tell ya what tough, Berbatov is an amazing player. I watched him today, and I know he's been off-form, but its clear to me that he's just so frustrated with the lack of talent around him. His hold up play is actually out of this world. Long balls he controls instantly with one touch and no defender will close him down cause he's too quick and will beat them. His goal was amazing. He all round play was fantastic. His frustration was evident, but he's reminded me today why I want United to sign him so much.0 -

You dont expect to win a home game against a second string Spurs team?
That says it all imo.0 -
