Don't forget that Wolves/Birmingham clash! A huge result for whoever wins in that top of the table clash, although of course it ended in a draw!
Also, weird to have a Saturday with none of the big 4 participating. Tomorrow is going to be a bloodbath; Manchester derby, a London derby...
Villa could go 3rd if they pull out a win, so that's fun.
Villa should win, but it's nilsies in the 36th.
Norwich one up at Wednesday and playing lurrrvely football, fog is so low its threatning the game..Typical.
Bertin and I are in Austin. Rooting for the former fulhamerica.
1-1 now, bugger. Sam old Norwich, Awesome first half, come out for the second have sleepy.
Boo Fulham. I made Villa my best bet in the prediction league this week.
I really should read first.Doh!
I didn't forget about Wolves-Brummies. It had already finished 1-1 before i put the thread up. Did you want me to put up last night's FA Cup games as well?
0-0 in Aberdeen.
SF Bolton, best team in the league (today). 4-1 now at Sunderland.
Leeeeeroy....2-2..Come on City!!!!!
W00t! Gary McDonald, on for an injured Andrew Considine a minute before, scores. 1-0 Aberdeen.
Shots in game 2(1)-2(1)
2-0 now through a Lee Miller Penalty. Motherwell down to 10 men.
3-2 Wednesday. Why do they tease me. Bastards.
...and screwed by the ref. A ref who fails to send of Tudgay when he fouled hoolahan in front of an empty net 6 yards out but he can send off Kennedy for nonsense. Outrageous. Now we don't have a defender for Ipswich at home. One prick has now spoiled the next two weeks. Oh and Tudgay scored their third, shouldn't be on the pitch. Sickening.
having seen a few Newcastle matches, I wouldn't mind if Arsene went after Bassong in the January transfer window.
And the fog on the pitch made for an interesting second half in that derby.
I've only been watching the EPL on a regular basis for about 3 years, but Sunderland turned in the worst defensive performance I've ever seen at this, or almost any, level. They gifted Elmander with 3 different 1 v GK chances, and he only converted once, so the 4-1 score actually flatters the Black Cats. It very easily could have been 6 or 7 instead. They had no shape as a unit, and then compounded that with totally incompetent decisions and misplays. It was a complete mental and physical capitulation, and I really have to wonder if something is seriously wrong in their locker room, whether its Keane or something else...
Also, the fog in the PNE-BC game is making the end of the Boro game look bright and sunny. Even the shots from the sideline make it clear that the fog has made it to ground level - I'm not sure a GK can see the opposite goal...
oh man. i just got home after a ridiculously insane evening of .. well, dealing with insanity in the form of womankind. im gonna try to grill up some breakfast and stay up for the derby.
COME ON CITY`
