feels strange to see spurs 2nd in the table and think it's not an anomaly, or a brief fluke, but actually where that squad should be. This new paradigm will take some getting used to for me.

is your basle game on tues or weds btw? Fergie may rest a few which judging from Weds night could be risky.xp to number none

shite they v well may be but blackburn haven't half racked up the goals under steve kean

as if to mock the 'arsenal are a 1 man team' thing, gervinho scores our 3rd.

179 corners since Arsenal last scored from one!

gotta hand it to gervinho, a 1 in 200 conversion rate is pretty impressive
― Julie Lagger, Saturday, 3 December 2011 16:22 (twelve years ago) link
looking at the table as it stands the gap between 10th-20th the same as between 1st-2nd. Man City's gd is monstrous.
― pandemic, Saturday, 3 December 2011 16:24 (twelve years ago) link
and here blackburn go trying to fuck themselves up again, back to 3-2
― pandemic, Saturday, 3 December 2011 16:28 (twelve years ago) link
sam
yr a one man team. gervinho scoring doesn't refute that, but you claiming it does underlines it p well
― Sad Banter (p much resigned to deems), Saturday, 3 December 2011 16:30 (twelve years ago) link
Utd are pretty much full strength. Lindegaard in goal and Jones in midfield tho

ok rvi scores, after another walcott assist.

if/when wigan get relegated, is there any player worth buying? im not sure the likes of figs and rodders are even worth it.

al-habsi? xxpp
lot's of goals today it seems, sadly no streams. how is it even possible to concede four to blackburn?
― sonderangerbot, Saturday, 3 December 2011 16:51 (twelve years ago) link
@sonderangerbot, did you check rojadirecta? Loads of streams there, most working too.
― lebateauivre, Saturday, 3 December 2011 16:52 (twelve years ago) link
i mostly use roja too.

TWO STUPID FUCKING OWN GOALS IIRC

I'm going to see you lot v everton next week, this rampant form is good timing

FFS it's a 4-5-1 with Rooney in midfield. What is the fucking point of Hernandez on his own up front. And do we really need to pack the midfield against fucking Villa?
― Number None, Saturday, 3 December 2011 17:10 (twelve years ago) link
what creative cm do you have to play?

did ferguson confirm that?

mizzell with the choice question imo
― Sad Banter (p much resigned to deems), Saturday, 3 December 2011 17:14 (twelve years ago) link
We haven't had a creative midfielder in years. Play 4-4-2 and get it to the wingers with Rooney dropping back when needed. Hasn't been confirmed but such is the internet chatter and i'm choosing to believe it
― Number None, Saturday, 3 December 2011 17:15 (twelve years ago) link
that's what you will play here, 4-4-1-1
― nakhchivan, Saturday, 3 December 2011 17:15 (twelve years ago) link
Maybe, but in every game where Rooney has been named in midfield he's been ridiculously deep. Hernandez cannot function without a strike partner
― Number None, Saturday, 3 December 2011 17:17 (twelve years ago) link
that reminds me of a general q i was going to ask, do managers have to specify a formation when they name the teamsheet
― nakhchivan, Saturday, 3 December 2011 17:21 (twelve years ago) link
TV get it wrong a lot of the time so i'm guessing not. Could be the manager messing with them though

Utd Villa is like the most predictable 3-0 game of the season and has been for the past 20 years. And yet being ill and sat in bed with my laptop, I might still... aw fuck it i'll get up and find a dvd.

Ryan from Lincoln on text, via 81111: "As a Blackburn Rovers fan, and as much as I understand the protests against Steve Kean, our next four games is a bigger deal at the moment. We need nine points minimum from the next four starting with today's win. Need everyone behind the boys for a few weeks! Feeling good at last."

this made me laugh.
1753: GOALFLASH Aston Villa 0-1 Man Utd (Phil Jones) Andrew on text, via 81111: "Phil Jones is a classy central defender who can also play very well at right back if needed. If Sir Alex continues to play him in central midfield then he's risking what happened to Alan Smith. Let the kid develop alongside Vidic at the back. It'll be best for him as well as England in the long run."
