It would seem that there's enough support on here to have a thread devoted to it. The annual Champions league thread does well enough, so why not?


So far today...


Liverpool 1
Sunderland 1

Blackburn 1
Wolves 2

Fulham 0
Aston Villa 0

QPR-0
Bolton 4

Wigan 1
Norwich 1


And the Arsenal takes on Newcastle in 20 minutes.


I absolutely love the first day of the season...a clean slate for everyone.

that was a ridiculous match.


Down 2-0 in the 54th, up 3-2 in the 62nd.


A win's a win, and we move on so I'm happy.

could get us in the next round, i'm hoping for a good cup run this year for sunderland

suprised none of the premier league sides drew each other apart from the potential sunderland arsenal game

cabaye has a 3 match ban for that stamp on the brighton player, could be extended seeing as though he appealed

and a great result for sunderland tonight, 8th in the league now, pushing on to close the gap between us and 7th now

What an abysmal game for the Gooners today and every game for the last month for that matter. They are such a one dimensional team. If RvP doesn't score, they don't win; simple as that. I don't blame him if he wants to leave in the summer.

This team is uninspiring, boring, and utterly shit at the moment. Walcott and Ramsay need someone to challenge for their starting positions. We must have set a record today for most back passes in one game. Europa League, here we come.

I'm not sure what it will take to get Wenger to buy some players. At the very least consider loaning in a fullback so we actually have a healthy one.

I love that it's February now, and the Toon's in 5th place, and only 3 points out of 4th. So prime...

agree with everything.


except I don't want anyone challenging walcott and ramsey. I just want someone better to replace them outright.


I have a feeling the team might undergo a bit of an overhaul next summer...with or without arsene

It's so retarded what's going on at Madrid with Mourinho right now. Florentino and the mafia fan/press mentality there are just terrible sometimes. So it looks like he'll be back in England sooner rather than later. After he left Chelsea I always figured he'd be back to take over Man U when Fergie leaves but the timing won't be right. Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea and even City if they don't win the league may all be looking for a new manager come summer.

Leave it to arsenal to struggle to put 1 in midweek, then blast in 7 on the weekend.

Go Reds! They definitely deserved that game. Two lucky goals for Chelsea. But, it was very entertaining! Hope its not too much of a jump to first now for Man U.

not really deserving to win based on the fact that it took 2 penalties to draw...but a draw was a pretty fair result overall

Yeah, definitely. I'm more surprised at the fact that they let three goals go in unanswered.

I like Chelsea a lot, just not when they play Manchester.

AVB was stupid to sit back and defend and time waste from 75 mins onwards. was only a matter of time before we scored again.

think we did well and had some luck to get the 3-3. I do see it as 2 points lost, was really hoping wed beat chelsea after doing it last season there in champions league but we just cant do it in the league.

... if someone back in August told me the Toon would be 1 point out of the top 4 come february 5th... I'd honestly have deemed them extremely optimistic, and told them they were probably a bit nuts.

... So stoked on this club.

0-0 for tottenham vs liverpool. Both had some good chances towards the end.

Perfect result overall. Funny how the title race itself has someone become less entertaining than the battle for 3rd and 4th.

i feel like Spurs play way too damn cautiously now that they have so much more to lose. I miss the first half of the season, so much more exciting.

Not liking the way AVB has the Chelsea team running. Would like to see the "Special One" back coaching the team. That 3-3 game was a great game to watch, Mata's goal was amazing.

Why do they always insist Webb referee's big United games? So stupid.

fabio capello resigns...will be interesting to see if this has any implications in the EPL...particularly regarding a certain tottenham manager who's wanted that england job for years. But leave it to the english to change their manager months before a major tournament. The new manager will have 3 matches to sort things out. And one of those is against the netherlands at the end of the month.



With that said, in regards to the whole webb business...no one was extremely wronged in that match. It was just a poorly officiated match. Chelsea should have been down to 10 very early in the match, and manchester's 2nd penalty was questionable.
