Let's not beat around the bush here, there is no love lost for ManU here at UF. We would all like to see them go down in a flaming wreck. Too soon? Sadly, it does not appear they will be obliging us this season, but that does not mean we can't root for Sunderland to reverse its form this year that has provided only 1 win since I opened my new girls on cars calendar.
So, pretty please Blackcats, get that Trinidadian & Tobagon sensation Kenwyne Jones back in goal scoring form and baptize the Red Devil backline.

ReplyDeletehe is pure class. rafa bought us a gem. that was the most beautiful goal of the season both technically and for the moment
oh god i am awake at 745am, what has football done to me priorities?!??!
clarified them?
ReplyDeletenothing better than early footy
oops. Nando misses a sitter
ReplyDeletemasch could have easily gone down to challenge for the penalty but he stayed up :)
ReplyDeleteabsolutely, although with Mike Riley in the middle you never know if it would have been given or not.
ReplyDeletehttp://rd3.videos.sapo.pt/w7bdQpnevuFI42mbAPhz
ReplyDeletethe goal has been uploaded already!
hahahaha oh mike riley
ReplyDeletealmost as bad as webb
oooooooooooh, Dirk - I really could have used that goal for fantasy footy
ReplyDeleteLiverpool's #9!
ReplyDeletehmmm he may just have the best heading ability in the PL
ReplyDeletebut then again he's probably the best striker too ;)
i hope blackburn don't come back 2-4 in the last 10 mins hahhahaa
lets go you gunners!
ReplyDeleteFernando Torres is wonderful to watch. What. A. Player.
ReplyDeletety liverpool for making it worth getting up at 7:45am
ReplyDeletehttp://tinyurl.com/cfrptd
whos got a link for the arsenal game?
ReplyDeleteSod Liverpool, Norwich are at Swansea and it's currently 1-1. Get in City.
ReplyDelete@mgf - LiveFooty, first feed, Sopcast channel "Extra"
ReplyDeleteDAMNIT I OVERSLEPT
ReplyDeleteJesus Christ Torres' first goal ... goal of the season.
ReplyDeleteWhere is everybody? I have to work this morning and I was foolishly planning on relying on you people for updates/mildly amusing quips about Eboue.
ReplyDeletePlease take my needs into account and plan the rest of your day accordingly.
Way to go Black Cats! Jones scores, great job keeping his balance
ReplyDeleteKENWYNE!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you need General? Stevenage score? News about Bristol City?
ReplyDeleteNorwich City are f@cking killing me. 2-1 Swans
ReplyDeleteGOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL!
ReplyDeletePavlyohwhatsit slots in a lovely ball from Modric!
COYS! GET IN!
I'm dying for a Lincoln City-Luton Town update.
ReplyDeleteThank god for Theo. Brilliant play by Arshavin to keep the ball.
ReplyDelete0-0. That one is a snoozer.
ReplyDeleteCome on Luton wakey wakey.
translates as: Macheda scores late again for ManUre
ReplyDeleteFuck. Overslept to find Arsenal tied at one. I should've kept sleeping.
ReplyDelete17 mins late so not so late!
ReplyDeletesilvestre get in!!!!!! is cesc hurt?
ReplyDeleteSF Bolton making a startling comeback against Spartak London, who have just crumbled since Lampard was subbed.
ReplyDeleteMacheda again. F*cking ManUre.
BD: not as late as last time, but likely just as game-deciding.
ReplyDeleteand thank you Setanta for a close-up of Berbatov's big toe. So much for breakfast...
What the fuck is going on in the Spartak-SFB match?
ReplyDeleteSilvestre? Really? I'll take it, but really?
Cheslea Bolton 4-3 wowser.
ReplyDeleteSay what you want about Cesc, gooners, but Arshavin has completely changed your side. I never expected him to make this kind of immediate impact. Looks like a great signing to this point. Wankers. LOL
ReplyDeleteAin't it a shame about Chavski...
ReplyDeleteI love you Dele Adebola you giant ugly, lanky mostly useless tosser. I love you.
ReplyDeleteForest 1 Bristol 2
3 goals in 9 minutes for SF Bolton. Unreal. Chavs are reeling.
ReplyDeleteI thought my feed was screwing up on me, then I realized Bendtner had the ball. The feed was fine.
ReplyDeleteLuton 0-0, Stevenage 1 up at Ebsfleet and Norwic have 4 forwards on.
ReplyDeleteFabianski looks like he should be at an emo concert, not between the posts.
ReplyDeleteForest back on level terms.
ReplyDeleteTHe bath is running. Anyone seen my toaster?
ReplyDeletearshavin GET IN!!!!! 3-1 to the arsenal!
ReplyDeleteHoly Crap, Bolton just missed on the deflection!!
ReplyDeletezzzzzzzzzzzrrrrrrttttt zzzzzzztttttz.
ReplyDeleteYes, Arshavin. Yes. And what a goal, too. Pure anticipation, lethal finishing. It was on a counter and it was wonderful - even if Boyce handed it to us.
ReplyDeleteCOYS! Safety at last! Moved into the top half of the table, and sitting at 41 points. I'm positively giddy.
ReplyDeleteAnd that was simply a brilliant goal by Arshavin.
Look at cute little Arsenal acting like they're one of the big boys.
ReplyDeleteSong and Silvestre scoring in the same game...it's like the Twilight Zone.
ReplyDelete@phil: yeah, what a turnaround from, what, February? Amazing two months for you Spurs.
ReplyDeletewhat began as a truly shit performance has turned into total arsenal domination. spledid to see really. 9 points clear of the villa cunts and some champaign football in the 2nd half
ReplyDelete@andrew: Yeah, I was sure we were relegated two months ago. This turnaround has been amazing.
ReplyDeletei hate this new italiano
ReplyDeleteLMAO @ Spartak. They win but walk away feeling like losers. SF Bolton almost stole a point.
ReplyDelete@MGF: We're playing brilliantly now. If only we could've knocked in a few goals during our league games in February . . .
ReplyDeleteDoes my secretly wishing for Newcastle to be relegated make me a bad person?
ReplyDeleteMGF--I lived in Champaign for 7 years and I never saw anything like that.
ReplyDeletemy sincerest apologies goat for my spelling error
ReplyDeleteIf I'm not mistaken, the win means that today is St. Totteringham's Day!
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Totteringham's Day all!!!
ReplyDeleteBayern recovered from their dickstomping to give one out themselves, 4-0 over Eintract. Not exactly what I was expecting after wednesday.
ReplyDeleteGod damn bed always tempting me, I need to get my priorities in order. Football > Sleep
Indeed it is, Sarah.
ReplyDeleteNevertheless, I'm just relieved to be in the top half and safe. And we're undefeated in London derbies! Such is the meager consolation of the Spurs supporter!
Phil, I am chuffed as well. I cant believe I would be screaming in my house b/c we got to 41 pts. I feel good w/'arry in charge. He has done a great job. Lets have a go at United and help some of our Scouser mates!
ReplyDeleteWatching Blackburn at Anfield from this morning:
ReplyDelete1) Props to however many Rovers supporters made it to Anfield who kept the minute of silence
2) Stupid fucking Blackburn! (courtesy of BFS)
Samba up front in a 4-5-1, with Benni the lone striker on the bench? And no MGP on the left, and Villanueva left on the bench? No attack to begin with, and very little support from the midfield or in reserve...
3) Holy sweet mother of Jesus that Torres goal was a stunner...
4) Ditto on his stunning miss in the 16th...
Holy shit, that Torres goal looks better each time they show it...
ReplyDeleteDamn. More than nice by Torres over 6'5" Samba...
ReplyDeleteEven knowing the final score, this sucks to watch. Rovers were lucky to make it through the first half without being down 4-0...much less another 45' to make it so...
Nothing positive in the first half whatsoever...I think I'll skip the 2nd in hopes of seeing the games tomorrow (given that AV-EV is being shown on delay...)
The theme of the day is apparently "Shambolic Defending."
ReplyDeleteLifeline for Villa, and plenty of game to go.
Depressing Fact: Villa haven't won a game in any competition since February 7.
Alright, I take back the earlier comments. They showed that somewhere amid the mediocrity, they do have some heart.
ReplyDeleteBobby Zamora = the island of wasted chances
ReplyDeleteThat "have not won since Feb. 7 in all competitions" is an amazing fact.
ReplyDeleteI suppose they just lost all confidence, and the balls that used to go their way, weren't anymore.
Also, and I'm just throwing this out there, but Mowbray's boys could survive. When you look at the shit both Blackburn and Hull are playing, and then games against both Sunderland and Rovers, we may very well see WBA escape. And I'd like that.
ReplyDeleteEbullient: that's not bad. Blackburn, Hull, 'Boro going down? You'd get good odds on that.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, this Citeh game is easily the worst game I've seen in 3-4 years.
super clint! now no more goals!
ReplyDeleteEF: no way Rovers go down. Rovers have been a much better team since BFS arrived, and I can see them nicking 1 point at Stoke next week, and outright winning 2 of the last 3 home games (Wigan, Pompey, WBA).
ReplyDeleteWOW!1!!1!!!11!! @ Clint Dempsey.
ReplyDelete@JT: You guys should repost the preseason predictions, on which all the commenters added their own predictions, to see who was furthest away from being wrong (because I'm not sure anyone was that close to being right).
@jjf3: You're probably right, because even if WBA manage to get out of the RZ, goal difference will be against them. Still, they're not done yet, and as Fulham proved last season, if you don't stop playing, good things can happen.
I can't see any way that Sparky is the Citeh manager next year.... The team has quit on him, 35-million pound Robinho on the bench, poor results, etc. So does Citeh make a run at Mourinho?
ReplyDeleteMost importantly, EF, that's when we lost Laursen- and thus a cutting edge on set pieces both ways, and an experienced EPL (eff you, Barclay's) defender.
ReplyDelete@Keith: I'm still pulling for you guys to get UEFA. That Laursen injury was absolutely devastating to the side; reminds me of when Eduardo and Sagna went down last year - the Gunners never recovered.
