***Offical*** English Football Season 2004/05

the Horse gets his third prem goal of the season, the third penalty aswell

And a very dodgy decision (again) - what a shock there!

 

[superkingdave]

The next 5 games could decide whether Manure can get back into the title race

20-Nov-04 H Charlton Athletic
27-Nov-04 A West Bromwich Albion
04-Dec-04 H Southampton
13-Dec-04 A Fulham
18-Dec-04 H Crystal Palace

These are 5 games that they should take 15 points from, if they dont get at least 12, IMO they can forget it.

 

[marc71178]

They're out of it already in reality - 9 points is a big big gap.

 

[Craig]

He doesn't care about this competition - hence he's played kids at Man Citeh and against Everton.

So why don't Arsenal go to the FA and say there is no point in them taking part in it, and pull out of it, or have those who finished in the top half of the competition not take part?

I bet if his tea made the final, I'm sure he would take a little more interest.

I don't know where you guys get that RVN is a horse from?

If anybody reminds me of a horse it is Ronaldinho.

Birmingham City are so boring to watch.

If players don't commit fouls inside the box these things won't happen.

How the hell is that not a penalty? Given dropped it (which he shouldn't have done) then Scholes nicked it before him and Given took Scholes out.

It isn't when you have 2/3 of the season to go, and only one team is playing well.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Not really, they never got on terms in the second half.

Arsenal's defence was shocking, if they'd have played a team with half a clue as to how to defend, they'd have got thumped.

Because it gives the kids a chance to play against good opposition, he's got Fabregas graduating to the first team from last year and next year who knows wholl be in the first team (senderos?). It gives the kids an incentive that its their comp and their chance to stake a first team claim. Im fully convinced that if Arsenal made the final he'd still play the kids. (though im not sure what he would do if his tea made the final though! maybe fire the chef)

Yeah that team with no clue how to defend who had conceded 11 goals in 12 matches in the premiership before that match, and who Manure and Chelsea only managed to score one against? They clearly dont know how to defend do they?

May i correct myself, they didnt concede against Chelsea, and conceded just 4 in their first 9 games, and yet they dont have half a clue as to how to defend

Alright then, if Tottenham had defended well, they'd have won, but they didn't. All 5 of those goals should have been stopped, although the Fabregas reverse pass was a very good goal.

On the evidence of Saturday, no they don't. They had a decent defensive record under Santini, but he was a defensive coach. As soon as Jol has them scoring goals, they're leaking all over the place.

They won't last a title race with that squad.

Which is why the team which scores more goals wins

Still doesnt mean they arent playing well atm.

Because I believe it's not an FA Tournament, and it is also compulsary.
