The start of the Premiership is upon us :)

Can Manchester United regain their title ?
Can Liverpool win the league after a close finish last season ?
Can Chelsea snatch the title from Manchester United ?
Can the Arsenal "kids" win anything ?

Can Moneybags City crack the top 6 ?
Can Everton & Aston Villa regain their places in the top 6 ?
Can Spurs sneak in to the top 6 ?


Who will be going down ?
Who will be the first manager to lose their job ?
Who's going to be a flop ?
Which new stars are going to be discovered ?

Stars Saturday.

Good old Nick Barmby !

In truth he hardly touched Cashley :p Can't blame him for trying :D

I can't see Hull holding out, Chelsea will net a couple.
Hull are all backs against the wall at the moment, or it would seem so.
 
Just saw the Crystal Palace goal.

Don't know what I think of it to be honest.

Just **** performance from the officials, I can't believe they missed it.

Apparently it was disallowed for the push on Skuse by Sears which was as clear as the ball going into the net from behind the goal and where the ref was standing, that what the linesman has said to our players.

I didn't see the push :o

I didn't hear anything mentioned about the push either :confused:

I thought, it was an in defendable mistake by the officials.
 
I didn't see the push.

You're the only person to mention it, Nope still don't see it after looking again.
Defender stumbles slightly.

Goal should have stood, very poor decision. Shocking. I don't agree with having camera's or allowing the ref to see it again, but I just can't understand how that goal wasn't allowed to stand.

I don't see how them having a transfer embargo on them affects the referees performance. I don't know what I'd of had my team do, or wanted my team to do put in that situation. Allowing them to score, could have been a good sporting thing to do. Palace should have scored again, ect ect.

I don't see a foul against the defender ? :confused:

I have no idea why it wasn't given. Might well have been for a push, if it was, it was a very soft decision, many would have given it, maybe the linesman didn't think it had gone in ? I don't know.

Sky, BBC and the Guardian haven't mentioned a push. I'm not too fussed about it, I think it was a bad decision not to allow the goal to stand.

I've just watched that and Warnock's interview. How does that man manage to be so dislikeable that he makes a perfectly fair and legitimate injustice seem worthwhile purely for the fact that it's against him?

I hate Warnock ( Sheffield Wednesday fan ) but he's not that bad, I've met him at the train station once, and he's a nice guy ! He's nothing like he comes across on the pitch.

I just think it was a shocking decision not to give that goal. Can't see any reason why it wasn't given. FA to charge Warnock over it though :p
 
Manchester United looked fairly comfortable, rarely got out of 1st gear.

Rooney was a highlight, looked very sharp and motivated, Valencia looked good, lively. Evans are Evra looked good, Fabio adapted well as the game went on, Foster looked much better.

Birmingham, just didn't use the ball at all well, almost every time they got possession they gave it away.

Manchester United, fairly slow steady start to the season, as Chelsea did, not outstanding.

Now watching the Suprs game :)
