Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [29th December 2012 - 2nd January 2013]

[Mr-White]

Last ditch defending from Spurs yet again.

MW

 

[PikeyPriest]

Awesome goal!

*edit* deflection - thought it was chip. Gladly needed though

 

[Regy53]

what a goal

 

[explicit4u]

Flukey goal from Dempsey, should be 3 points for Spurs now.

 

[Snax]

Phew- Clint Dempsey scores from a huge deflection

Edit- this was also HUGELY deserved. We have been blasting long range efforts through a wall of ten players for 75 mins.

 

[Mr-White]

3-1 Spurs, another Dempsey deflected shot that lobs the keeper

MW

 

[Tom84]

Harsh on Reading

 

[Tom84]

Give Welbeck a break, last season Hernandez was out of sorts and some people were saying we should have cashed in the summer before but now he's back scoring. All young players are inconsistent.

Exactly, this time last year Chich was a one season wonder according to some

 

[The Running Man]

Come on Utd, we need to improve our g/d to City (as they just scored a pen for 3-0)

To be four he has got 3 strikers attacking midfielder s and no holding midfielder s on the pitch. Not sure its going to work though.

In the middle of an injury ravaged season (which just happened to be his 2nd in the EPL)

Just hoping he can stay fit for the rest of this season, as it should be a blinder if he can (and get the games as well)

 

[PikeyPriest]

Harsh on Reading

Not really. They havent tried to create very much all game. The score doesnt reflect how one-sided this match has been.

 

[explicit4u]

Arsenal team: Szczesny, Sagna, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Gibbs, Arteta, Wilshere, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Cazorla, Podolski, Walcott

Arsenal subs: Martinez, Mertesacker, Coquelin, Ramsey, Rosicky, Gervinho, Giroud

Southampton: Boruc, Cork, Fonte (c), Yoshida, Shaw, Puncheon, Schneiderlin, S. Davis, Guly, Ramirez, Lambert

Saints subs: K. Davis, Hooiveld, Rodriguez, Ward-Prowse, Richardson, Mayuka, De Ridder

Villa have the lead at Swansea

 

[Snax]

Grrr Defoe could have played in Dempsey but instead drags it onto his weaker foot to fluff the chance.

 

[Mr-White]

Defoe should really have scored today.

What was said about the Norwich game Utd lost recently and the Swansea draw....nothing against those teams at all, but it only counts when you get it in the net (and even then it doesnt count all the time lol)

I was never of that opinion.


Hernandez has the instinct and temperament of a decent convincing striker.

Wellbeck doesn't and these are things that you can't really learn.

United are a massive club and shouldn't be harbouring this calibre of player.

 

[Robbo]

van Persie makes it 4.

Nice assist from Welbeck.

 

[vanandjuanunited]

Holy cow welbeck sets up rvp

Then redeems himself with a #@$@ pass

 

[Tom84]

19th goal of the season for RVP. Still cant believe he plays for us

True. Its currently:

60% - 40%
27 (17) - 7 (4)

I`m a strong believer that you make your own luck. If Reading cant keep the ball or get shots on target, then you can argue they won't get as many lucky deflections
