You can't fault the simplicity.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

At least the FL Show's intro has improved.

But they had to ruin it by having Leroy...

[Cripps_orig]

Saw what Pardew did :doh:

What a despicable ****

[Rors]

Sunday Supplement....

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:lol:

I have it on record.

[Rors]

Presented by Ashton? :wacko:

[Rors]

'Every Goal Matters' is an awful tagline.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He did last week too, guess Woolnough is ill.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We're doomed is about the sum of what they were saying on it today.

[Rors]

We're doomed is about the sum of what they were saying on it today.

"For the next ten years" :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Who'd have known a 0-0 could do so much damage?

[Cripps_orig]

The Sun has us down as being in a crisis :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arsenal struggled without RVP and Song on an opening day of the season which saw both Fulham and Swansea smash FIVE goals.

The Sun. :lol:

[Rors]

The Sun. :lol:

:haha: Someone tell them those events are mutually exclusive. After explaining what 'mutually exclusive' means to them first of course...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I think we can safely say Swansea and Fulham have the top two places sewn up this season.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

McArthur gives Hazard a tap on the end.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great run from Moses, horrendous cross.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maloney freekick, really simple for Cech.

Wigan 0-2 Chelsea, HT.

[Master Splinter]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That was alwful from Kone.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cashley. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

McArthur off, Watson on. 10 minutes left.

[Master Splinter]

We need a Cech fuck-up tbh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mata off, Meireles on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We need a Cech fuck-up tbh.

That's unusual for him.

[Master Splinter]

Kone FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kone with a bullet header, back towards the corner. :lol:

[Rors]

Gomez :lol: Why bother?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kone and Gomez. :doh:

Wigan :doh:.

Outdoing Liverpool in the profligacy stakes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[Rors]

"Famous afternoon in May" :rolleyes:

[Rors]

Savic :lol:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Here's hoping Southampton hold out longer than Wigan did...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"Famous afternoon in May" :rolleyes:

Anfield '89. :rose:

[Rors]

Still only 0-0 :lol:

Citeh :pal:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aguero is dead. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Surely it's a cruciate that has gone?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well he has hobbled off, could just be a twist, or he is being an idiot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Now Aguero has been stretchered off - he should've just stayed on it in the first place.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dzeko on for Aguero.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Citeh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Silva has it saved! :haha:

Alwful.

[Rors]

Hart should take it.....

[Rors]

:haha:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Worse than Long's?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That was terrible from Tevez.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Worse than Long's?

About the same.

FFS Silva

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Hazard looks awesome

Top 3 done and dusted

Your right top 3 is done but the title will be between the 2 man clubs.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shite toepoke from Tevez.

[Rors]

Aww I was enjoying that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh 1-0 Southampton, Tevez. Great pass from Nasri.

[Rors]

Oh my good gawd :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-2 SOUTHAMPTON!!!! :haha:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

City :pal:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Davis with the goal, Rodwell for the fuck-up to launch Southampton's counter-attack.

:haha:

[Rors]

Bloke in the front row. Put your shirt back on son....

[Rors]

Alright Neville we don't need your +1s. You forgot "Barclays" as well

[Boss]

Agent Rodwell :bow: :bow:

[Rors]

Rodwell. A peaceful and happy retirement are you wished.

[Rors]

"On a weekend in which Swansea and Fulham scored FIVE"

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Silva well and truly hauled off, Balotelli on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-2 Dzeko. :doh:

[fari]

[Boss]

<_<

[Rors]

2-2. Poor poor keeping there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Balotelli. :lol:

[Boss]

Balotelli misses an open goal :haha:

[Rors]

"It feels like the most wonderful league in the World". Oh shut up.

[Rors]

Kelvin :doh:

[Rors]

SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Globalgunner]

Best match of the weekend so far. Shows what can happen when 2 teams actually want to win a game AND believe they can

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-2 Nasri.

[Boss]

Nasri :bow: :bow:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Best match of the weekend so far. Shows what can happen when 2 teams actually want to win a game AND believe they can

Sunderland :pal:

[fakeyank]

This is what we should be doing against shit kicking teams like these... cross the ball IN the FUCKING BOX! We tippy tappy the fuck out of the opposition and get no where... get in your cross.. create confusion. Its not fucking rocket science!

[fakeyank]

Oh and Eid Mubarak to you too nasty lesbian!

[Globalgunner]

This is what we should be doing against shit kicking teams like these... cross the ball IN the FUCKING BOX! We tippy tappy the fuck out of the opposition and get no where... get in your cross.. create confusion. Its not fucking rocket science!

Wenger says otherwise.

[Marc Overmars]

Nasri giving some back to us again then.

[fakeyank]

Wenger says otherwise.

Unfortunately :(

That man has done very few things right since 2006. Though I will say that I am optimistic in him changing his stubborn WUMish ways this season.. seems like a changed man.

[Joker]

Nasri's been MOTM today.

[gooners]

Nasri's been MOTM today.

shoosh...

Will upset some.
greedy one season wonder

[Rors]

Facetious Rupe-in-ear commentary came close to killing this one for me. Labelling the Olympics "the summer activities" indeed.

[Globalgunner]

Anyhow this match ends I will have a lot of respect for S`thampton and their manager. Just go out and try to win the fucking game and see what happens. It is acrying shame that puke purveyors like M O neil and the the late lamented Alex Mcleish still find chairmen stupid enough to give them jobs.

Not that I blame Sunderland for yesterdays result. Wenger is a conondrum of his own, but insonia inducing footie fro some teams makes you want tear yur hair out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three added minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh 3-2 Southampton, FT. Great second half.

[Globalgunner]

Welcome to the EPL Southhampton, You are the new Norwich.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Welcome to the EPL Southhampton, You are the new Norwich. Your Derby matches should be interesting

Are'nt their Derbys vs Pompey ?

[fari]

if sunderland played an open game do you think the result would have been the same?

[GP]

if sunderland played an open game do you think the result would have been the same?

No we would have lost haha lol

[Olivier's xmas twist]

No we would have lost haha lol

:haha:

[fari]

This is what we should be doing against shit kicking teams like these... cross the ball IN the FUCKING BOX! We tippy tappy the fuck out of the opposition and get no where... get in your cross.. create confusion. Its not fucking rocket science!

the 3rd goal man city scored came from a cross... i agree with you on that one. however...the first 2 were tippy tappy. goal #1 was a nasri pass to tevez, goal#2 was a dzeko poach.

[Globalgunner]

Are'nt their Derbys vs Pompey ?
You`re right, my bad

[fakeyank]

the 3rd goal man city scored came from a cross... i agree with you on that one. however...the first 2 were tippy tappy. goal #1 was a nasri pass to tevez, goal#2 was a dzeko poach.

First one was offside and the second one was a shot taken from outside the box which fell kindly to Dzeko (not tippy tappy). The 3rd goal just showed that crossing the ball when you have 10 players behind the ball will cause mass confusion within the box.. Chances are 6/10 times the ball will be cleared but for the others there is always a chance we can capitalize on that. Tippy tappy is very hard against teams like Sunderland, Stoke, Villa etc

[Cripps_orig]

Nasri :bow:

New found respect for the lad

Watched this game, was impressed by Southampton. Nasri was quality as always. How bad is Aguero?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They have to wait for the inflammation to go down, Aguero tweeted it wasn't serious but with all due respect, he thought he could walk it off.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Monday Night Football is on in a few minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RVP is on the bench. :lol:

[Rors]

"Goals change games". OMG Gary Neville is such a good pundit and clever PMSL...

[Rors]

​Should never have been given.... :sulk:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"I can't really analyse that". :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Catzola. :haha:

[Rors]

:doh: :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ah, finally Gary has considered that there could be more passes because so many more teams are defending in pure numbers.

[Cripps_orig]

RVC :haha:

From first team regular, star player and captain of Arsenal and being first choice for Holland to the new Owen for Mancs and Huntelaars understudy for the Dutch

His career in ruins

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Everton: Howard, Hibbert, Jagielka, Distin, Baines, Osman, Gibson, Neville, Pienaar, Fellaini, Jelavic.
Subs: Mucha, Heitinga, Naismith, Gueye, Barkley, Coleman, Anichebe.

Man Utd: De Gea, Valencia, Carrick, Vidic, Evra, Nani, Cleverley, Scholes, Kagawa, Rooney, Welbeck.
Subs: Lindegaard, Da Silva, Anderson, Berbatov, Young, van Persie, Wootton.

Referee: Andre Marriner (W Midlands)

Valencia and Carrick in defence. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Only 2 defenders for Man utd

Its a shame Mirallas wasnt signed in time for this

Come on Jelavic and come on Everton

[Boss]

Welbeck ahead of RVP?

:haha: :haha: :haha:

[Rors]

I'd almost forgotten Henrik Larsson was at United. Blanked out after that Cup game probably...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

A 3rd Round meeting is surely going to happen this season?

[Rors]

A 3rd Round meeting is surely going to happen this season?

It's been far too long.......


:(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mirallas. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gingham. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Everton have Nike now too? That explains the random splodges of white on the arms.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Scholes looks better than ever? FFS.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Cheering for Everton just never seems right....

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nani booked. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jelavic down on the ground in the pelanty area, blatant from Valencia.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

How is that not a pel?

He was looking right at it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That's reminded me of something - ROOOONEEEYY will continue to take pelanties won't he?

RVP. :lol:

What a dick.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kagawa is great. Not heard an atmopshere like this according to Neville earlier though. :doh:

Scholes. :haha:

[Dennis Bendtner]

Looks like Van Penis has been on the Just For Men. At least WUMger didn't give him much of a pre-season to get his fitness up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Scholes booked. How can that just be 'clumsy'?

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Scholes special laughed off again :rolleyes:

[Master Splinter]

Scholes :doh:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fellaini hits the post! Why didn't he play it across goal?

He completely done Carrick and Valencia.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Terrific feet from the big fella. :haha:

[Master Splinter]

Screech playing as the second striker again. He does that a lot.

Is that why people want him as Song's replacement?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pienaar has been alwful.

De Gea did well to punch that away.

[Master Splinter]

Pienaar you moran.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Welbeck. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nani goes for glory, didn't curl too far wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great play from Everton there, not much of an angle for Jelavic though.

[Master Splinter]

Everton :bow:.

Superb footy.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a header from Pienaar! De Gea just tips it over.

[Master Splinter]

Good save!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fellaini. :lol:

What was that?

Good spin for a big man.

[Master Splinter]

Screech is doing a Dids on them.

Well, without the goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gibson. :haha:

[Master Splinter]

That was probably a shot from Gibson.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to Man Utd, dangerous area.

[Master Splinter]

Parry is more irritating than Castle.

Just STFU for a few seconds.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Howard saves from Rooney. Not sure it was going in anyway.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Parry is more irritating than Castle.

Just STFU for a few seconds.

Parry is on my Top 5 Worst Commentators list. I need to resurrect that thread tbf.

[Master Splinter]

Parry is on my Top 5 Worst Commentators list. I need to resurrect that thread tbf.

Just a top 5?

I could extend it to a top 50.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Parry is comfortably the worst in the business. Lucky this Scottish bloke is inoffensive at worst or it'd be a proper deadly duo. Like er...if Sky signed Mark Bright.

[Master Splinter]

De Gea :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good save from De Gea to deny Pienaar. Fellaini has been unbelievable with controlling the lofted balls, so to speak.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Just a top 5?

I could extend it to a top 50.

We don't have a Top 50 thread, sadly.

And Mark Bright. :(

You've got to get that ball in the box!

[Cripps_orig]

How has Kagawa been?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd. :lol:

Fellaini is shitting on them, shame he isn't a goalscorer.

[Master Splinter]

Those noises Bright makes after any incident are worse than Lawro's chuckles.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sod off Scholes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How has Kagawa been?

Looks good, when they can actually stop Fellaini from annihilating their midfield.

[Master Splinter]

United could do with a RVC wonder-volley against Everton.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rooney with a shot, straight at Howard. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Shrek :lol:.

RVC would have buried that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Welbeck. :haha:

Could've been a pelanty, not given. Actually, barely a push - then again, same thing could be said for Man Utd vs RPQ last season.

[Master Splinter]

Welbeck :lol:.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Fellaini wins another header :lol:

[Rors]

Nice semi-dive Welbeck. Oh well, I suppose he had to do something for a change...

[Master Splinter]

Get Gibson off.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Osman shot, saved.

Fellaini. :bow:

[Boss]

Cracking save ffs.

[Master Splinter]

Screech is everywhere.

What a beast.

[Boss]

Screech is everywhere.

What a beast.

A must get.

Someone start the campaign plsty.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Four years ago? Try seven years ago, Parry.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jolavic. :lol:

Shut up Parry.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Superb save from De Gea to deny Baines' freekick.

[Master Splinter]

This is De Gea v Everton.

[Rors]

Well Hollywooded...

[Cripps_orig]

De Gea is awesome

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wazza. :haha:

Kagawa. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Shrek :haha:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fellaini 0-0 Man Utd, HT.

[Master Splinter]

Everton better take their next chance.

Screech :bow:.

Indeed a Must Get.

[Rors]

Everton by far the better side. Chalk up the points for United.

[Rors]

Chamberlain's over-presenting is a negative against him. His advantage before is that he wasn't Keys. Now he's trying to be him..

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chamberlain's over-presenting is a negative against him. His advantage before is that he wasn't Keys. Now he's trying to be him..

Get those cameras ready off-air.

[Rors]

Get those cameras ready off-air.

"..hanging off the back of it"

[Rors]

Fabio :lol: Isn't it past your bedtime?

[Globalgunner]

Shrek has obviously been back to Harley street for a top up. His crotch area must be completely bald by now.

[Master Splinter]

Gibson :haha:.

[Boss]

Gibson :haha:

Shocking.

[Rors]

That should have been buried..

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

How the hell..?

[Boss]

How lucky can these ****s get :banghead:

[Master Splinter]

FFS.

Last-minute United winner definitely coming up.

[Master Splinter]

Moyes :haha:.

[Boss]

Fellaini :bow: :bow:

Sign him up, Arsene.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Perhaps Fellaini has the best chest in football.

Ade. :lol:
