The Premiership Weekend Thread: Shots Off Target Now Guaranteed!

Great result.

eirebhoy · 09-12-2007 04:30PM

YES! This weekend has been excellent for my handicap bet. Arsenal need to finish 24 points ahead of Pompey to overtake them on the handicap. Nearly at the halfway stage and there's a 7 point gap. Stephens Day could be the big one, Pompey v Arsenal.

Liverpool and Chelsea are no threat at all. Man Utd only a small threat (they'd need to finish 37 points ahead of Pompey). Man City a big threat (Pompey need to finish 2 points ahead of them). Blackburn a big threat. Everton and Villa threats too but Pompey favourites. The rest can be written off I think.

Kelvin Etuhu folks. The next big thing. He's absolutely destroying Lee on the right he can cross superbly

Xavi6 · 09-12-2007 04:49PM

1-0 Spurs. Completely offside goal and a handball. Wait til you see it.

evad_lhorg · 09-12-2007 05:10PM

that arsenal result really brought my mood up this morning after that fight last night

Now chelsea will beat them next week (i hope) and liverpool will ge outclassed

cson · 09-12-2007 05:19PM

Now we'll see what Arsenal are made of. Two bad results in a row and Chelski to come on Sunday. Next weekend is going to be somewhat interesting in terms of the title chase. Very interesting.

And Bolton lead Wigan 2-1 in other news.

cson · 09-12-2007 05:25PM

Oh and both Arsenal and Liverpools unbeaten streak end.

Who'd have thunk it'd be this weekend against the mighty Reading and Boro? :eek:

Xavi6 · 09-12-2007 05:25PM

Inspired substitution from Sven. Brings on Bianchi and 3 and a half minutes later the lad scores a bullet header. Come on!

Not watching the game or listening to it etc, but is it inevitable City will equalise like every opposition that play Spurs?

EDIT: lol too slow

cson · 09-12-2007 05:43PM

Has Younes Kaboul usurped Titus Bramble for the crown of "I can't believe this lad is a defender!"?

PHB · 09-12-2007 05:44PM

lol Ireland sent off, then instantly Spurs score.

Xavi6 · 09-12-2007 05:45PM

Ireland's just walked for a f*cking disgraceful tackle and now Spurs have scored straight after. *sigh*

Not about the ball anyway.

Maybe he wanted to finish up early to try on a new thong?

Chardee MacDennis · 09-12-2007 07:11PM

what do people think about what Carlton Cole did when Ooijer went down? Perfectably reasonable i think as to not do it would probably encourage players feigning injury more!!!

also Cole challenging Friedal was perfectly within his right and the two Blackburn players over reacted. why is there not bookings for these players who physically react in retaliation like Samba(i think) did, i remember a certain england player getting sent off for much less.

Goalies are way too protected by the rules anyway. cant even touch em anymore withough conceding a free and being surround by the opposition who act as if you just punched a child...

Someone had that ready to post methinks!

1 Arsenal 16 19 37

3 Chelsea 16 15 34
4 Liverpool 15 18 30

5 Portsmouth 16 14 30
6 Man City 16 3 30
7 Everton 16 13 27
8 Aston Villa 16 8 27
9 Blackburn 16 1 26
10 West Ham 15 8 22

Mike.

Chelsea just staying in there quietly, not making any noise. I find it utterly hiliarous that they are now playing like Mourinho used to have them playing before he brought in Ballack and Shevchenko.

There's a 24 page supplement on Ronaldo's greatest dives in the middle of that paper too. His effort yesterday scores high.:)

Dave! · 09-12-2007 11:33PM

Just watching MOTD... Middlesbrough played a stormer, it must be said! Created a tonne of decent chances. Great week for Unireh

Would like draw with Chelsea and Arse next week!

Shocking peno from Anelka...!!! He'd wanna get a goal to make up for that :eek: Jaaskelainen pulling out some great saves here. edit: nice goal from Anelka

therecklessone · 09-12-2007 11:44PM

Stuck in work all day so saw no football until MOTD2.

Eboue should have walked for the slap.

Spurs very lucky with 1st goal, no foul on Berbs+offside+handball. I'd be raging down other end.

Ireland's tackle was an absolute shocker, contrast with Keane's last week in a similar spot on the pitch...:mad:

_blank_ · 10-12-2007 11:06AM

Stephen Ireland apologised to Sven

He should apologise to the lad who's leg he tried to break too.

Horrible tackle, and lucky he didn't catch the standing leg.

Xavi6 · 10-12-2007 11:10AM

I read today that the linesman who was at fault for the offside decision has just returned after 18 months out with a serious illness. Rumours it was blindness are apparently untrue.

He should not have done the tackle but he did it - a week ago Robbie Keane did something similar and was sent off.

Is he fcuking kidding me? Whatever nuttiness Ireland is suffering from appears to be catching at Eastlands...
