What has happened to your MSN?

What has happened to your MSN?

Well, in short.

Move House
No Internet
Using School LAN & Laptop
MSN Blocked
BT and Sky Incompetent
No Proper Broadband
No MSN

Would have been able to get on MSN next week when I'm back at Mum and Dad's, however I have now bollocksed that keyboard, so that may not happen.

 

[Matteh]

Haha, Newcastle. Funnier than Spurs? I reckon.

Should probably stop Rob Styles being allowed to give penalties, TBF.

(Exeter) Mate called the 2-2 score, i called Robinho as first scorer. Decent night's work.

I'd have given that tbf, same reason Poll said he'd have given it. Sure he touched the ball, but largely because he'd already taken Robinho's leg out at that point.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

same reason Poll said he'd have given it.

Sign of trouble when you're citing Poll as authority tbh.

Disclaimer: haven't seen the incident

 

[Matteh]

Poll's fine as long as you're not asking how many yellows to show to an Aussie turned Croat before a red should be shown.

 

[grecian]

I thought it was a pen too. Clumsy defending anyway, deserved it imho.

 

[GIMH]

Hakon did not see ze incident so he cannot comment

 

[Neil Pickup]

Having now watched it 37 times on Setanta re-runs, yes, fair enough. Robinho was taken down notably before Beye got a foot on the ball, no matter how much of an angry Scotsman Craig Burley is.

 

[grecian]

Neil having a good time, so far......

 

[GIMH]

Two goals in a minute, not too shabby

Whites currently 0-0. Hate missing games full stop, especially home league games though

 

[GIMH]

Whites one up

Arse and United comfortable it seems

 

[Scaly piscine]

That's the sort of goal I want to see Rooney score more of - Shearer used to fill his boots with ones like that when Blackburn won the title. Just get some space and hit low into the corner and it's a very good percentage play.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Berbatov was awesome tonight, and his first goal actually wasn't offside, contrary to idiots on the TV. Fairly comfortable.

Sounds like a hell of a performance by Arsenal tbf.

 

[Tom Halsey]

In other news, two Juve fans have been killed in a coach crash en route to tonight's game.

Very sad news, RIP.

Watched the Arse whilst listening to Radio Devon. They were fairly horrendous at the back (both teams) , it has to be said.

In the important result of the night, we've won three away matches on the bounce. Have no idea when was the last time we did that. Nice that the first two goalscorers, both their first for us, spanned the generations.

Who needs Ryan Harley.........

Ah, fair dos, had sounded from the ITV commentators (the United game) that Arsenal had played very well indeed, yet to see highlights.

Well, Arsenal did play well, but they almost always do, the oppos defending was just pitiful. Certainly interesting seeing Ramsey score, I'm ready to start the "he's better then Walcott", bandwagon.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Awesome night. Vale were bloody awful - we looked a class apart.

City's goals... first one was a low, hard corner that looked suspiciously like handball at the near post, and was then followed up by a scramble on the line. It looked like Vale had cleared, but Marcus popped up in the right place ten yards out to lift it across the goal. We had barely settled down after that when Sercs picked up the ball, on the right flank, cut inside past three Vale defenders, glanced up, looking for all the world as if he were stunned to be in the position he was in... and lifted it expertly over the keeper from 25 yards out.

Much of the rest of the match followed the process of a little Vale pressure, followed by a wild hoof, or a horrendous finish ("na na na... ****ing useless" has never been more deserved). It was either that, or City knocking the ball around their own back four with ever more of a swagger, leading to a Vale player losing it and sliding in wildly.

Our third goal rounded off the night when Gilly's corner from the left wing swung in, and the keeper's attempt to catch it resulted in it bouncing hilariously off his gloves into the far side of the net. Cue hundreds of Vale fans leaving as we all collectively pissed ourselves.

Bring on the Barnet. You going to that one, fellow grecian?

 

[grecian]

I considered it, but had no-one to go with, and even I'm not sad enough to go on my own.

Anyway, the last away win I saw was Argyle under Ball, if you don't count Wembley. So I've decided in well over twenty matches since (can't remember the exact amount), I may be a bit of a jinx. A quite good draw in there, mind.

Well Barnet will be my last one until February half term when Gillingham rolls around, so I figured I'd better make the most of it. However, if we get to the FA Cup Third Round then I shall be at that one, wherever it takes place!
