Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [21st - 24th Jan 2012]

He was cramping up a few minutes earlier, it's no surprise he couldn't get on the end of it. A better cross from Bale and Spurs would have won it.

i thought bale should have passed earlier?

Both, the pass inside the defender would have been WAY easier and safer, once he went outside he made the angle he could get the ball across tiny, he did well to get it past the keeper but for that to be perfect it needed the PERFECT weight on the ball and the perfect angle. Had he passed earlier, it just needed to be an "ok" pass.

Balotelli

Legend

Cool as a cucumber on his interview

He just doesn't care.

 

[Tom84]

Milner MOTM WTF? He wasn't even the best midfielder on the pitch let alone player

 

[Andybtsn]

Livermore is a liability and causes heart attacks every time he is near the ball. Defoe... not good enough.

I have no idea how he is playing in a top four side. Even in the Championship at Leeds he looked woeful, he was taking off at half time in two consecutive matches

 

[BaZ87]

Watching the replay of the Balotelli stamp, Webb's looking away towards the direction the ball has gone and only turns back to Balotelli after the stamp. There's no excuse for the FA not to ban Balotelli.

He is the only other holding midfielder we have now that Sandro and Huddlestone are injured.

Bad times. That will ultimately cost you I guess at the end of the season.

Not to mention that without Suarez they don't ever look like scoring.

With Suarez they look like scoring but they never score .

 

[No1newts]

I didn't notice the Balotelli moment in the match, he'll be in trouble for that.

 

[AGD]

Both man u and arsenal sides look weak. I expect a few goals.

 

[DanH84]

Seeing that replay I imagine he'll be getting a ban. Big blow for Spurs.

 

[Yas786]

LOLSpuds...happy that they lost today...

Meh not even bothered about the Utd Arsenal game...cant see us winning, best result we can hope for is a draw hopefully but i see a 3rd loss in a row....doesnt help that most of our main defenders are out and we have a slow assed lumbering German in our defence lol.

Just please dont make it another 8-2 tanking lol

 

[Jakstaar2007]

I hate the fact that we always have Webb refereeing our big games and he ALWAYS does something to cost us the game.
This time he is right in front of Balotelli for his stamp and does nothing. No to mention Lescotts elbow to Kaboul aswell.

[K1LLSW1TCH]

Just woke up, let's do this!!!

*looks at defence*

I'm going back to bed.

 

[Tom84]

Arsenal fans are going to be in for a pleasant surprise imo

Arsenal fans are going to be in for a pleasant surprise imo

I can't see it.

I could imagine Bolton, Norwich, Everton or some other mediocre team surprising Man U but when it comes to Arsenal I can just see them completely rolling over.

 

[jesta]

Is Smalling playing RB and Jones playing CB? I hope it's the other way round.

 

[simon22]

For me that's assault and City should really have the guts to punish him severely. Why on earth would you want someone like that in your club? It's like having a criminal in your workplace.

 

[jakeke]

Evans is playing, we might score!
