Was a howler :haha:

[Red_Polo]

FLMAO Wish I'd had a stream on now :D

Beeb live comms...

1203: GOAL Arsenal 0-1 Fulham
An absolute howler. Jens Lehmann makes a hash of a clearance from Gael Clichy's back pass and David Healy pounces to score in the first minute of his Fulham career. The worst possible start to the campaign for Arsenal.

1208: Ironic cheers from the away end as Jens Lehmann manages to control a back pass this time and clear. Fulham look lively. Arsenal are stretched and Kolo Toure blocks a David Healy cross from the left.

Giggle

[carrsim]

so far arsenal have played some nice stuff and failed to convert

our old keeper warner is in goal for fulham and so far is having a blinder. he only found out after the warm up was playing as niemi crocked himself 10 minutes before kick off

fulham have had a few moments as well-healy has looked lively and held it up well

i can't help feeling that the gooners will get back into this one

[kurtangle01]

That Lehman gafe was sooooooo funny. What a keeper!!:haha::respect:

Live coverage

[Red_Polo]

Fulham really struggling to keep Arsenal at bay now.

[Red_Polo]

Brilliant run by Toure who is brought down just inside the area

van Persie slams it into the roof of the net to make it 1-1

[Shaggy]

Arsenal have equalised. Bastard.

[Shaggy]

1-0 Birmingham!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kopite_Colin]

Let's hope the team of the one with the Big Fat Head hold on.

[Red_Polo]

Warner held on to the ball afterwards to waste a bit of time

Arse players wanting to get on with it and handbags ensues

Warner, Diop and Flamini all booked

[thesilverfoxlfc]

Sundays Match thread matc :handshake:

Plus id be very surprised if that was the final score Chelski were all over them

......and its now 1:1

[Shaggy]

1-1 Pizarro

[Kopite_Colin]

Bollocks - both Arse and Chavs have equalised!

[spud_gun]

:rolleyes:

[thesilverfoxlfc]

Did you see the big ruckis after Arseanl scored :haha:

Aboy Warner

[thesilverfoxlfc]

2:1 Helb

[Red_Polo]

Fulham inevitably break under the pressure

Hleb scores to make it 2 - 1 to Arse

[thesilverfoxlfc]

Was a good goal

[Red_Polo]

Chant going up 'ooooooooo arrrrrr ya oooo arrrr ya'

We should applaud their originality and wit

[thesilverfoxlfc]

Their bastards i was hoping they would lose.

They were quiet a fook until they make it level

[Kenneth]

And here's a link

http://www.dailymotion.com/relevance/search/lehman/video/x2qpbq_blunder-lehman_sport

:haha:

:haha: That's brilliant. For all the praise Wenger gets, keeping a keeper far more hapless than Dudek as number one for so long is just fucking stupid.

[Red_Polo]

Walcott blazes one over

RVP going off - Song comes on in his place

[Red_Polo]

FT Arse 2 - 1 F'ham
RVP (pen) - Healy
Hleb

[thesilverfoxlfc]

They were lucky

[Red_Polo]

Malouda scores on his debut

Chelsea 2 - 1 Brum

[Morph]

ahem, 2-1

[Red Chilli]

ahem, 2-1

to whom?

[Morph]

chavs of course, bham well out of their depth against a top side, not much change there then

[Red Chilli]

Oh well, mods need to change the title of this thread.

[stevie_gerrard_8]

Good goal by Malouda.

[thesilverfoxlfc]

2:2

What a goal

[Kenneth]

Malouda scores on his debut

Chelsea 2 - 1 Brum

Any good?

All of the other teams with hopes of a title challenge have been given dream matches for the 1st games. Brum/Reading/Fulham at home are ideal. 3 ponits away from home against a decent side, none of these results will dampen my mood.

[Neil Young]

Oh well, mods need to change the title of this thread.
...and the forum.

In fact, we might as well bin this one, there's not a lot right about it.

Chelsea Drawing

[Endless Dream]

2-2

[thesilverfoxlfc]

Kappo what a goal

[Morph]

not a bad match tho

[Red_Polo]

Fucking lovely goal :haha:

[Red Chilli]

Sounds like a good game, come on der brummoyez

[Neil Young]

I haven't been watching all that closely but in the bits I've seen Birmingham have looked woeful, unable to retain possession for more than three passes. I don't know how they're level.

[stevie_gerrard_8]

Stunning. Terrible defending by Johnson

[Kenneth]

2-2

OMG. :haha:

[stevie_gerrard_8]

Half Time 2-2

Very true, I can't see Alves helping them keep the goals conceded stats down. Then again, only the top defenses stand a chance of stopping them scoring.

[kurtangle01]

3-2. Chav bastards.

I was getting it earlier. Do a hard refresh CTRL F5, or close the window and try again.

[stevie_gerrard_8]

Must say Kapo loooks to be a very good player for Birmingham

Pizzaro doesn't seem bad either for a free

[Kenneth]

Glen Johnson is a fucking terrible player. Thank fuck we don't have anyone that bad anywhere near our 1st team.

[stevie_gerrard_8]

Surprise Surprise, Drogba who was supposed to miss the game at anfield comes on

[Kenneth]

Good. Birmingham look like they might start kicking people.

[stevie_gerrard_8]

Essien comes off limping for Mikel. Precautionary substitution

[stevie_gerrard_8]

I pray Johnson plays at Anfield. He jumps in every time, so our left winger should rip him apart

[Kenneth]

I pray Johnson plays at Anfield. He jumps in every time, so our left winger should rip him apart

should have been 3-3. Ridgewell fluffed a free header.

[Red_Polo]

Oooh look Drogba's down :rolleyes:

[Kenneth]

Sidwell comes on. Ben Hieme (sp)and Johnson already on. Jesus, how much money have they spent to look like a midtable team with 3 or 4 outstanding exceptions?

[stevie_gerrard_8]

And who would that be :)

Anyone but Riise :crackoff:

On form you'd have to say Babel but I'd prefer to ease him in tbh. Seen as though were at home, I'd like to play benayoun as he could open up Chelsea with his through balls.

[Red_Polo]

Good spell of pressure from Reading, started to work their way into the game a bit

[Kenneth]

Sloppy start from Scholes.

[Kenneth]

Harsh yellow for a reading player, didn't see who, especially as Ronaldo did the same 2 mins earlier and didn't even concede a FK. Can see the ref handing this to Utd.

[Red_Polo]

I fucking hate that spotty long neck freak.

[Red_Polo]

Hunt is such a ****, but as long as he's not playing us....I like him :D

[Red_Polo]

Reading can't get hold of the ball let alone keep it

[Kenneth]

Really scrappy game so far, so many mistakes. Rooney is a proper fucking shit though, just dived pathetically and is doing the usual amount of moaning at the ref everytime he loses the ball. Should be booked just for being on the pitch.

[Red_Polo]

The spotty giraffe bloke just had some kind of fit with the ball at his feet then passed it to Pieboy who took a seriously shit dive. He wants booking for that bollocks, not that a ref would at old toilet.

[Kenneth]

Has Sopcast died for anyone else?

That was such an obvious dive, don't know how he can not be booked for it tbh

[spud_gun]

metatarsal :woot:

Nope, all good for me :confused:

[Red_Polo]

metatarsal :woot:

Duberry stepped on his foot, fucking hell this is not just any fat fucker we're talking about, DUBERRY :haha:

[Kenneth]

Nope, all good for me :confused:

Ta.

:(

What's the metatarsal reference?

[Red_Polo]

Ta.

Duberry stood on Rooney's foot

Still on the pitch - they're probably waiting to assess at HT

Which sopcast stream were you on?

[Red_Polo]

Scum 0-0 Reading HT

Reading have done pretty well to keep Utd out considering the amount of possession they've had.

They look like they're playing for a draw.

[JohnDoe]

The amount of pressure on the ref from the United players, especially Rooney, is a disgrace.

It's a guarantee they'll get a penalty today.

[red g]

i really dont want rooney injured, Man u will be a better team with tevez leading the line

[Kenneth]

The amount of pressure on the ref from the United players, especially Rooney, is a disgrace.

It's a guarantee they'll get a penalty today.Other teams complain about it, ex referees complain about it, but those in the game turn a blind eye to it. It's been the same for years. Remember when AF used to compain Rooney was victimised when he joined them? Well it seems to have worked as he can pretty much walk on water these days.

[desertscouser]

Livefooty 10, it kicked me off but it's sort of back now, although struggling to get about 75%.

Stupid fucking twat

[Red_Polo]

Absolute fucking moron

45 seconds he was on according to comms

That should never have been a red card though, yellow at most, just a late tackle

free kick any bets on this going in?

Mancs with a freekick on the edge of the box, got to be their last chance here

:woot:

When was the last time we were ahead of them? More than a season I'd wager.

Away at Villa or home against Reading? I know which result I'm happier with :rock:

[stevie_gerrard_8]

Just a thought, and try not to be biased, who would you rather have and why: Nani or Babel?

I think Nani is a better winger, but Babel may be a better goalscoring midfielder. Dont know whose better with the ball at their feet etc.

[Milan_Milan]

Styles was a fucking disgrace there. That freekick in the 94th minute was a joke, not even touched (new diving **** in Nani incidentally), if the league had any balls they'd sack him for that alone, nevermind the rest of the match.

[Kopite_Colin]

Given that 2 of the top 4 had to come from behind AT HOME to win and Utd have been held at home, puts our result at Villa into perspective. Good weekend all round - just a shame Fulham and Brum just couldn't hold on.

[kurtangle01]

Apparently Shrek can't put any weight on his foot. Hilarious. I hope it's f*cking broken.

I'm not surprised with his weight....

[Kenneth]

Indeed. 2 or 3 edge of the box free kicks that were a joke.

Must admit, Nani looks quality, but Carrick is toilet and scholes was very poor today. Hopefully he's finished.

[smither]

i FUCKING LOVE the premiership! :haha: have some of that you manc twats! ahh just one weekend in and its BRILLIANT! you can buy a referee, but it doesnt guarantee success!

Not true sadly, as the mancs and chelsea play league games this midweek, while we dont.

[Bob]

Great start to the season.

Here's hoping we can do Chelsea as well, if not there are a few easier games ahead.

[stevie_gerrard_8]

Agreed about Nani and Carrick. Who would you rather have, Nani or Babel?

rooney has a hairlined fracture in his foot

[Red_Polo]

How long do we think this will keep him out?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/6943283.stm


Rooney suffers broken left foot

Wayne Rooney lasted only 45 minutes of the new Premier League season after injuring his foot in Manchester United's goalless draw with Reading.

Reading defender Michael Duberry accidentally landed on the England striker's foot in the 37th minute and was quickly sent for a scan.

And it has been revealed that the 21-year-old has suffered a hairline fracture of his left foot.

The news will rock United, who are short of experienced centre-forwards.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was forced to deploy defender John O'Shea as a makeshift striker after Rooney failed to make it out for the second half.

Ferguson said after the game: "It was a painful blow and Wayne could not really stand on his foot. I do not think it is as serious an injury as when he broke his metatarsal.

"But his foot did start to swell and it was not worth starting him in the second half."

England manager Steve McClaren will also be concerned about the injury, with a friendly against Germany pencilled in for 22 August but, more crucially, two Euro 2008 qualifiers scheduled against Israel and Russia in September.

[animal magic]

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/6943283.stm

depends on which bone he's broken IMO

[Red_Polo]

Well I was thinking 6 weeks or so, but Ginsoak's comments almost make it sound as though they considered keeping him on for the second half which was odd :eyebrow:

If it is about 2 months then he misses the Manc derby, BS at Woodison, and Chelsea at the toilet

[Diego]

How long do we think this will keep him out?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/6943283.stm

i don't think they'll miss him that much, Tevez will replace him with ease...

[Red Chilli]

i don't think they'll miss him that much, Tevez will replace him with ease...

I disagree. It's a huge blow to their squad.

[Kilteragh]

Ferguson was complaining after the game that when Rooney went off they didn't have an out and out front man.

What the hell does he want - to spend another thirty million on top of the fifty plus he's spent already?

He wants 5 substitutions per team per game.:rash:

[yukpo]

Maybe he's complaining about Saha, Solskjaer and Tevez not being fit to play....

Seriously, its good to see one of the contenders drop pts early but theres 37 games left. all this gloating will come back to haunt us

mancs are the last team you'd want to write off...

[Kilteragh]

He wants 5 substitutions per team per game.:rash:

He still wouldn't have had the cover that he wanted for Rooney. I didn't watch the match but Rooney went off at half time didn't he? Surely he had all three subs available to him at that stage, he just didn't have the right ones.

Redders is a massive chelsea lover if you ask me, almost felt like throwing up when he was licking their arse at the top of the show

He should have bid for Torres :D

Rooney is as injury prone as most of the players that starts to play to many to games to early at the highest level. The body can't cope with that.

Owen and Fowler is two examples of that. Messi is another and Walcott has already had a bad injury.

Players under 20 should only play 20-25 games/season and not 40+ like they do now.

Very true.Ronaldo is due a good injury

[thesilverfoxlfc]

Just came in from Golf delighted Manure drew.

I hope Rooney is out for a few months and it will take TEvez a month to get match fit.

It was going to happen that one of the big 4 slip[ up, but it wasnt us :rock:

Anyway, I agree with your post. Burn out does happen, houllier warned of it with Owen and he was right.

[rushscored4]

The news will rock United, who are short of experienced centre-forwards.

So they've just spent over £30m on Nani and Anderson plus whatever amount for Tevez yet they're making fucking excuses already... :whatever:

Tevez is probably the best centre forward in the world so they are not exactly short even that Tevez is short.

Yeah im not having that either he is behind the likes of Henry and Eto'o and......................Torres :D

He's a good player and will do great for Manure but not the best in the world now no way :handshake:

[AFII]

I'm not having that, he's nowhere near the class of Henry.

He is better than Henry is now IMO but not as good as Henry was a few years ago.

Henry is the best centre forward I have seen and I doubt that I will ever see a better one.

It was a red, because it could've broken the player's leg. Dangerous play. Correct decision.

[thesilverfoxlfc]

It was a red card it was just that Kitson was on for about a minute that added to the tension on the pitch if he was on for 70 minutes then it would of been accepted

[Diego]

sorry but thats just shite

i'm with AFII on this one, imo he's up there with the best in the world right now. imo he's a better player than rooney and it will show this season, i reckon in a couple of years time tevez will be their number one striker ahead of rooney, who is a better forward than tevez from his country? at this moment no one, him and messi are the brightest stars of that team, i know he hasn't played all the matches for his country in the last few years but that all changed now imo...

he's allot better than some on here give him credit for, i've been watching him since 2001 his Boca days, and have known from then that he will be a world beater, and one of the best players in the world...

I agree. I also think Tevez is a better player than Torres.

However, I think Torres hasn't fulfilled all his potential yet. I think he has the potential to be better than Tevez and maybe even the best striker in the world.

[ronan]

you think he's better than crespo or even messi? or rooney?
he's not.
whatever about potential ,at this moment he is not better than any of those players.

[Joe King]

No way did he deserve the red. Some referees don't know the game and know the rules in simple black and white.
Nearly every game, someone will go for a ball which is bouncing in mid air and Kitson was just a second late and the referee who probably hasn't played the game, gave the red. Poor decision

[AFII]

you think he's better than crespo or even messi? or rooney?

Messi isn't a centre forward. He is a left sided striker.

Crespo is good but but not as good as Tevez anymore. He will sit on the bench a lot for Inter this season and there is a reason for that.

[marcus50bucks]

Rooney is one ugly fooker just watching the highlights on RTE

:haha::haha::haha::haha:

Disagree, Eto'o is better. :handshake:

[marcus50bucks]

I believe If you were to ask defenders who out of Tevez and Messi they would prefer running at them with the ball at their feet, they would choose Tevez.

Technically Messi is much, much better and imo if there was a ever a player you could compare to Maradonna it would be Messi without a shadow of a doubt. :handshake:

[AFII]

Disagree, Eto'o is better. :handshake:

Well, I would pick Tevez before Eto'o but that is my opinion and probably depends what league they play in.

:handshake:

[Joe King]

Disagree, Eto'o is better. :handshake:

Even though Eto'o is a mardy get, he is the best all round striker in the world. He has every attribute a striker needs. Shame we never had the money

[marcus50bucks]

Well, I would pick Tevez before Eto'o but that is my opinion and probably depends what league they play in.

:handshake:

If you're talking all round ability then possibly Tevez is better. However in terms of finishing, Eto'o is much better. In fact for me Ronaldo, Eto'o, Rvn and Henry are still ahead of Tevez in the finishing department and I doubt many would disagree. :handshake:

[Gaz]

sorry but thats just shite
he's not even the best forward at his club or for his country.:rash:

I agree, he's been in this country for 6 months now and scored what about 5 goals last season, he's good but he ain't that good, as centre forwards go i'd rather have Crespo or RVN in my team, guaranteed 30 goals a season from each, you won't get that from Tevez.

[marcus50bucks]

Even though Eto'o is a mardy get, he is the best all round striker in the world. He has every attribute a striker needs. Shame we never had the money


For me Ronaldo is still the best finisher in football today, he has continued his form in fornt of goal for Milan. :handshake:

[Craig_H]

how could he have broken his leg when he caught his foot??? :rash:
not a red.


:haha: Think you're missing the point here ronan. Kitson wasnt CHOOSING where to catch Evra, he wasnt even deliberately catching him, he was trying to block the ball. However, it was only the fact that evra's foot was off the ground, that mean he got caught around the ankle area, rather than the shin or calf area. Had his foot been on the ground, he would've probably broken his leg.

Definite red, reckless and dangerous challenge.

Take off the anti-ManU specs ;) If it had happened to one of our lot, we'd be going mental.

nothing at all to do with being anti man u.
its more to do with the ref.
far as im concerned he's another clueless idiot who's never played the game.

:haha: exactly
5 goals and he's better than

rooney
crespo
henry
rvn
drogba
villa
the list goes on and on
how many clubs were in for the "worlds best striker" this summer?
potential yes,nothing more.

[Diego]

he's not.
whatever about potential ,at this moment he is not better than any of those players.

i think he's better than crespo yes with crespo not being the same player he was 3-7 years ago, and i think he's on par with messi, for some reason i don't like messi all that much, he's a cracking player but i can't stand him, the little primadona, i also thinl messi has a long way to go befoe reaching his potential, he's nowhere consistent enough, he has cracking games and then he has games where he's shit and won't pass the ball, and keeps going at it by him self, and this will in the future create massive friction with in his team. i don't think tevez has the same natural ability to beat a player as messi, but he's allot stronger and scores more goals, i think tevez' right foot is better than messi's left, i think they are on par when you look at what they bring to their team...

as for rooney, i think you english massively overrate him. he proved to me last season something that i have always thought that he will never become one of the best strikers in the world.i think he's a good player, but i think for example torres is better, for me rooney hasn't lived up to what he was hyped up to be good player and all but no 30 mill for me. i think right now tevez is better, and if you give him a couple of years in that squad he will become light years ahead of him. rooney also needs to loose a few pounds, his weight will start to affect his pace. i think tevez is able to be the best in the world, i don't know if that will be as good as henry a few years ago, but i think he will rival eto'o, kaka, messi and ronaldinho in being the best in the world in the years to come...

[ronan]

thats all well and good diego but you said he is the best in the world now.
how can you say a player who has only played for 6 months in a league of any standard and scored just 7 goals in 27 appearances is the best player in the world?
lets have this arguement again in 12 months time.
ps im not english.

[AFII]

Rooney is also very injury prone and Tevez is more or less never injured, that is also one thing you need to count.

If Rooney gets one or two injuries like the ones he got then he won't be that much better than he already is.

Injuries plays a big part to if a player can reach his full potential or not.

[AFII]

Tevez dominated in the Brazilian and Argentinian leagues and he dominated in the PL as soon as he was moved to play in his best position, centre forward.

Pelé only played in Brazil and the US leagues but he is considered to be the best ever player together with Maradona. He was a great player but we really don't know if he would have been a success in Europe. That is one example that shows that you can be a great player even if you don't play in Europe.

i never said he was the best in the world, i said he was amongst the best in the world and has the potential to be the best. however as much as i loved the lad, i so want to be wrong, i wish that he fuckes up royally and that i make an ass of myself and my opinion, so i hope in 12 months time when we resume this argument it will be slagging me of cause tevez was shite for them :handshake:

to be fair to the turd that 'now posh, but i still lost my virginity to a ladyboy' Pele. the Brazilian league in those days was one of the best leagues in the world, where all of their best players played at home...

how on earth does this add up to the best player in the world??????????

and btw 7 goals in 26 starts is dominating the premiership?
bollocks of the highest order!

It took time for Tevez to settle, but to be fair to the lad, once he settled in England he was dynamite.

It may take time for Torres and Babel to settle and that is why we need to be patient.

[ronan]

so if torres or babel score 7 goals this year they will be the best?

[stevie_gerrard_8]

so if torres or babel score 7 goals this year they will be the best?

Well if they score 7 out of 10 games, be man of the match for the last 15 games and virtually win the Championship on their own, probably yes.

He played on the wing in more than half of that games. How on earth anyone can even think to play Tevez on the wing is :rash:

Even more :rash: than some of Houlliers lineups. It's almost like you start to think that the manager want to make a joke of himself.

West Ham stayed up only because of two players Green was fantastic in goal and Tevez dominated upfront, not because they played any better than earlier in the season. They started to play Tevez as a centre forward and that changed everything.

[dww]

To be fair when I saw Tevez early in the season he wasn't so much left wing as a left sided forward - in a similar position that Rooney has been given at United in the past, and usually under-performed in. The difference was that Bobby Zamora is frankly no Cristiano Ronaldo and the rest of the West Ham attack/midfield were terrible.

I also think that while Tevez was definitely the catalyst for the West Ham revival their midfield started looking less completely useless towards the end of the season.

I think though that it is fair to say that Tevez performances marked him out as a genuinely outstanding talent. No sure he can say he is the best forward in the world but he certainly is in an elite group of players capable of claiming that title in the future.
