Arab oil vs Siberian oil. Hope it's a draw.

Vokes · 12-09-2008 10:12am

Robinho to score a BILLION goals!!

Actually, 2-1 to Chelsea.

Actually, Paddy Power are offering a money back special if Robinho scores for either team in this game. Hopefully he doesn't get too confused on the day.

Lol at the thread title. If rumours are to be believed he won't even be starting due to his exploits with Brazil.

Mossy Monk · 12-09-2008 11:11am

Chelsea will win 3-0

The thread title reminds me of when ITV got the rights to the LA Galaxy pre season games after Beckham signed. It was Beckham vs whoever they played.

i saw it on sky sports news earlier.. they then went to an arsenal conference
where wenger said it's worrying when a player is unsure which club he signed for, many chuckles from the other reporters present.

Mr Alan · 12-09-2008 11:16am

this thread title reminds me of the fact that the RTE news amongst others constantly refer to Sunderland as "Roy Keanes Sunderland"

stupido

Do alot of channels not do that anyway? I know what you mean about "Roy Keanes Sunderland" though

Mr Alan · 12-09-2008 11:24am

i'm sure occassionally they would say Fergusons Utd etc, where he is part of the furniture, but i cant remember the last time RTE news didnt call it Roy Keanes sunderland.

CHD · 12-09-2008 11:25am

Robinho to have a few lumps kicked out of him and welcomed to the premiership with open arms

Chelsea 2 - 0 Citeh

Xavi6 · 12-09-2008 12:05pm

Once again, he mightn't even be playing! No Essien, Ballack, J. Cole (How's his head?). A semi fit Drogba. We have more than a slight chance of winning this game.

Not to mention a certain SWP with a bit of an ax to grind I'm sure. I think it'll be a good game. I also think it'll be tight. Essien a huge loss for Chelsea IMO.

Not sure about a good game but I definitely think it'll be tight.

PHB · 12-09-2008 2:26pm

Last year I predicted that City would get utterly destroyed and they did, this year they haven't started as well, have a ****load of injuries, have new players, Robinho is going to get some kicking from Terry, so I've real no idea what'll happen

Chelsea haven't been playing too well either imo.

Xavi6 · 13-09-2008 3:50pm

40 mins to go......

The excitement!

rossie1977 · 13-09-2008 3:53pm

chelsea to win 2-0

Vokes · 13-09-2008 3:57pm

Looking forward to the Kompany vs Lampard+Deco matchup.

Also looking forward to Robinho leaving Boswinga on his arse after doing a pedalada (or some other silky brazilian move) for about a minute

But Drogba to nick it at then end for Chelsea I think, 2-1.

Chelsea playing with only 10 men, bold move by Scolari, but it just might work.

Xavi6 · 13-09-2008 4:07pm

Yeah I noticed that. The site I got it from made the boo boo not me!

Lampard is apparently stuck in the queue for the burger van! :pac:

Vokes · 13-09-2008 4:08pm

This is Zabaleta's first game?

Xavi6 · 13-09-2008 4:09pm

Tis indeed. Looking forward to seeing him

Necronomicon · 13-09-2008 4:20pm

Any decent streams?

Xavi6 · 13-09-2008 4:23pm

Star Sports have it on TVU and Sopcast

herbieflowers · 13-09-2008 4:24pm

ooh, battle of the chequebooks. I actually want Chelsea to win this one!

Cheers, but my pc went tits up a few weeks ago and I haven't gotten around to re-installing sopcast. Must do it pronto.

Just found this stream: http://www.justin.tv/infadible3

Seems good enough if you can ignore the verbal diarrhea at the side of the window.

titan18 · 13-09-2008 4:27pm

Why is Elano on the bench?Thats a very stupid decision imo

Xavi6 · 13-09-2008 4:29pm

Cause Ireland's playing class lately.

Thaksin, Thaksin give us a wave!

amacachi · 13-09-2008 4:31pm

**** that, Elano should be playing. ****. :P

eagle eye · 13-09-2008 4:33pm

I'm very interested in this game. I think this will be a very close affair. I'm especially interested in how Vincent Kompany gets on today against a top class midfield.

A prediction is difficult for me in this game but I can't see any more than a goal in it either way.

opr · 13-09-2008 4:35pm

This is one of the best quailty streams i have ever seen. It requires a small download but play through a webpage after the download. I don't know if its my broadband or not but unfortunetly its keeps cutting out every few minutes.

http://www.veetle.com/viewChannel.php?cid=48cad82d0f0d6

You may need to refresh the page a few times to get into the channel as its seems really busy.

If it opens the other game on skysports just change the channel on the right hand side menu to the first channel at the top called "For Love of the game channel"

It took a few gos, but I've got it working now. Great stream. Thanks!

Vokes · 13-09-2008 4:45pm

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLL!!!

Chong · 13-09-2008 4:46pm

JESUS H CHRIST ROBINHO

Xavi6 · 13-09-2008 4:46pm

I think I'm gonna cry!!!!

Chong · 13-09-2008 4:48pm

Come on Carvalho!!!

titan18 · 13-09-2008 4:49pm

Yay,Carvalho makes amends

eagle eye · 13-09-2008 4:49pm

Awesome free kick. I don't normally post during a game, but everytime City get forward I just see goals with that attack.

The movement of the team is fantastic. That Zabaletta lad looks really good as well.

Thats some way to take the pressure off yourself after all the money that was paid for him.

Xavi6 · 13-09-2008 4:50pm

Ah cock

eagle eye · 13-09-2008 4:50pm

Goalfest methinks.

Chong · 13-09-2008 4:50pm

I would love 5-5

_blank_ · 13-09-2008 4:53pm

That stream is class opr, thanks.

Xavi6 · 13-09-2008 5:09pm

Stevie Ireland looks right at home playing with these boys.
