Newcastle v Middlesbrough, 20:00

Can Liverpool keep the pressure on Manchester United ?
Can Middlesborough get 3 points to aid their relegation woes ? or Will Newcastle finally see the Shearer effect!
Can hull and Sunderland manage a win ? putting more space between them and the relegation zone ?

Sad news about Wes Bean.

Middlesborough also need to win

Hard game to call.

Oh how I will laugh if Big Sam keeps Blackburn up and Newcastle go down

Saaaame !

I remember having a discussion with friends who are season ticket holders are Newcastle and they said they didn't like having Shearer in and would have rather had a man in who had expirence with keeping teams up.

Couldn't help but say "like Big Sam"

Good result for Liverpool, keeping the pressure on Manchester United.
Getting really close at the bottom, Hull and Sunderland aren't safe, West Brom making a last ditch attempt to escape ? would be amazing if Newcastle, Hull and Middlesborough go down and West Brom stay up !

Looking forward to the Manchester Derby.

Not too sure about Berba, He's not being overly impressive so far this season.
Pleased Tevez got a start, I do like that man.

I think United will win today, Manchester City are awful away from home, only won something like 2 games away all season. Manchester United are hitting really good form.

Ricky Hatton's standing with Rio in the crowd. Thought he was a Man City fan

Yeh, odd place to be sitting !

I'd have thought he'd be in a box or at least with City fans ! Maybe he's done a Gimp and now likes Manchester United

nice effort from tevez

berbas having a nice game, keeping the ball well

And touching people

don't forget that !

Tummy · 10 May 2009 at 14:17

Good Goal that.

Berba was orgasmicly good just then.

Tummy · 10 May 2009 at 14:21

Pretty much, Manchester United are controlling the game.
Mancester City look overwhelmed, and a bit off the pace.

Tummy · 10 May 2009 at 15:59

Drunkenmaster ? Are you Berba's mother ?

Drogba to start for Chelsea.
Sure the media will pick up on this.

Strong line ups from both Arsenal and Chelsea, Can't understand why mr Arse is playing 5 midfielders at home, pants boy and Ade should have being on ?

Tummy · 10 May 2009 at 16:17

Arsenal are playing Chelsea off the pitch, Cech is doing alright so far, dealing well with a lot of pressure he's being put under.

Who said Chelsea were defensive

Darth Vader has been brilliant so far, he's come and claimed everything.

Fixed

Alright? What has he got to do to impress you ?

Cover himself in peanut butter and get a dog to lick it off?

No, he's just over rated, that is all. He's a good keeper.
He's hardly pulling off world class saves so far

Arsenal are trying to walk it in again

Tummy · 10 May 2009 at 16:26

Was 2-0 United.

Tummy · 10 May 2009 at 16:28

I don't really like Obi wan Mikel.

Think he's a very average player by the standards Chelsea expect.

Tummy · 10 May 2009 at 16:31

Alex did well with that, Chelsea are a very big team and you can't give them the chance to pump the ball into the box. Still never understand why Drogba takes free kicks, he's massive, should be in the area.

Good goal.
Arsenal are punished for not taking their *many* chances.

He's much better than average, he's one of the few decent upcoming plauyers we actually have. First leg against Barca he was unbelievable

He's very average looking to me, I think he only really gets in to the team because of a lack of options.

Arsenal are awful at defending set peices, esp against a big physical side like Chelsea.
