Awesome, Chelsea and Liverpool draw, and Arsenal lose.

United just need to hammer Villa now.

 

[Tute]

Liverpool 0-0 Fulham
Chelsea 0-0 Newcastle
Man City 3-0 Arsenal

What a day! Now we just need to do the business against Villa...

Whats he miserable about? -

 

[ScarySquirrel]

Chelsea should have bloody won that

 

[Cob]

Great result for Fulham.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Liverpool 0-0 Fulham FT

Poor result, poor performance. Torres was the only highlight today.

 

[NokkonWud]

RvP upto his previous tricks (he got a red card for something similar a few weeks ago didnt he)?

No, nothing of the sort.
He was sent off for going in to and smashing the keeper out of frustration.

 

[Scratchy]

Liverpool totally awful today, what was Benitez thinking playing Lucas from the start instead of Alonso

 

[5ingh]

Is anyone watching the Chelsea game?

Chelsea we all over Newcastle for about 30 minutes or so. We were looking awesome. Bosingwa in particular is looking good. Last 15 mins or so we have sat back. I am confident we'll get the win today

 

[pabloB]

I'm interested to see Wenger's reaction to all this now! By all accounts not great at all again!

 

[Jono8]

Sweet, all we need is United to beat Villa and we are well back in it!

 

[Ripper]

Right thats two points to be gained tonight then.

 

[FeFiDoh]

I bet gallas is laughing at em all from his nice warm cosey house!

imo he had the right to say what he did maybe people didnt want to hear it but fans slate the team for poor performances and dont know what goes on behind the closed doors.

also good result for newcastle! Was really expecting a hammering from chelsea today so this is good

What a day! Now we just need to do the business against Villa...

Unfurtunately its far from given (mind you I wouldnt mind having Given inbetween our posts lol) - despite our historical results at Villa

Whats he miserable about? -

Robinho being injured? Cant think of anything else though - great result (well deserved, even though it grates on every nerve I have lol)

 

[Anders0n]

Had a shocking day on the betting, it's not always rosey!

 

[Greenlizard0]

If Villa get a point or more against Man UTD - will that be the first weekend in years where at least one of the "big four" haven't won?

 

[FrankJH]

Aston Villa: Friedel, Reo-Coker, Davies, Laursen, Luke Young, Sidwell, Petrov, Barry, Milner, Agbonlahor, Ashley Young. Subs: Guzan, Harewood, Carew, Knight, Salifou, Shorey, Gardner.

Man Utd: Van der Sar, O'Shea, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Ronaldo, Park, Carrick, Giggs, Rooney, Tevez. Subs: Kuszczak, Anderson, Nani, Welbeck, Evans, Gibson, Rafael Da Silva.


edit he may not be great defensively but Da Silva really should have started - wonder whether Giggs is actually in the centre with Park on the left wing...

 

[eggyoke]

Absolute terrible performance from Liverpool. There where so many players who just looked like they couldn't be bothered.

I've also got to say that it was bad management by Benitez. OK Masch and Alonso have both played internationals, and it might be a good idea to rest one of them, however you dont do that if your star midfielder Gerrard is sitting in the stands injured. You just play your best midfielders, its simple.

Alonso when he came on for the wrong person (Masch) changed our attacking completely. However, Keane, Riera, Babel and a tired looking Kuyt simply looked way out of order.

I've given Keane his chance and hes just not good enough for Liverpool. Torres is on a different level and it was only him at the very end that actually had fight in him.

What a waste, especially considering Chelsea drew at Newcastle.

 

[NokkonWud]

Don't understand O'Shea over Rafael or Park (or likely, Giggs) over Anderson/Nani.

 

[FrankJH]

Maybe Anderson and Nani have been badly affected after the trip to Brazil...Im surprised Ronaldo is starting after the same trip (even though we undoubtedly need him, even off par)
