On the Eve of the new Season...

[vansmack]

I thnk Arse's season will fizzle out now. They are a delicate team so losing to Brum will have a psychological effect. Barca could very well beat them now.

This too.

On a somewhat related note (Arse/Barca) I took my son down to Ft. Lauderdale on Saturday to watch a pre-season game. Ft. Lauderdale Strikers V NY Redbulls (yep! I didn't know there was a pro-team in Lauderdale either. NASL or something) Anyway, Thiery Henry played the whole game and spent a long time talking to kids, signing autographs and having his photo taken with them. A real class act and made my sons day

Henry a real class act?


now thats funny.

Please expand....why is that so funny?

Well he did learn his trade at Arsenal so that's a given really....I meant more off the field and how he spent time with the kids.

A close game at Stamford Bridge and chelski get a cheap penalty, then just in time for pikeypool Vidic gets a red card - is there no shame to the anti-Man Utd officials in the EPL???

[godsshoeshine]

ha!

[Frank Gallagher]

It's been reported that due to financial considerations Manchester United have parted company with 15 staff from the payroll.

5 referees and 10 assistant referees.

It was later reported that just like the Peter Kenyon situation Chelski FC have hired them and tripled their salaries.

[Frank Gallagher]

Atkinson has refereed 13 Premier League matches involving Chelsea since the 2006/07 season with the London side winning 12 and drawing one, including two victories over Manchester United and one over Liverpool.

....just say'n!!!

Me neither.  He's been inconsistent at best.  I thought he and SAF were on the outs too....

[godsshoeshine]

i thought that was going to be about kolo taking the wrong cold medicine or whatever

carrick certainly seemed like he was going to be replaced in the summer

[Frank Gallagher]

Beaten fair and square. My only comment is Carragher should've seen a straight red the dirty twat. Dowd would've lost control of the game had it not been so close to halftime.

Some players get a free pass when it comes to violent conduct (Carragher) and some get a card for looking at someone funny (Scholes)

Run in to end of season very interesting.

I'll avoid any non-football commentary on Celtic-Rangers , but I though this was awesome:

There is nothing 'awsome' about the sectarianistic pigs in Glasgow. (both teams) they need to grow the fuck up and catch up with the oughties!
