Maccy's Weekend Fixtures threads :bow:.

Adebayor to score an own goal.

He loves scoring against the Spuds.

Arsene should have signed him up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 half time.

[Thierrymon]

Heskey scored :faint:

2-0 Aston Villa.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 Villa, Heskey. :yikes:

[Boss]

Heskey scored :faint:

2-0 Aston Villa.

Even he's better than Chamakh.

Emile bhai :bow: :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Everton 0-1 QPR, Smith.

:yikes:

[Master Splinter]

NOT a good goal from Everton's point of view, but a lovely finish all the same. Phil Jagielka sloppily gives the ball away and Akos Buzsaky feeds Tommy Smith in the box, who takes a touch, turns and curls the ball into the bottom corner, just as Jagielka gets back across to try and stop him.


A Must Not Get.

[Master Splinter]

OptaJoe on Twitter: "8 - Emile Heskey has now scored more Premier League goals against Blackburn Rovers than any other club. Prolific."


Heskey :bow:

Time for Albrighton, Eck.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Villa 2-1 Blackeye, Pedersen.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Villa 3-1 Blackeye, Bent.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Wigan.

[Master Splinter]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vorm saves it!

[Master Splinter]

Vorm is showing great form.

:sorry:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shocking tbf.

[Master Splinter]

Shocking tbf.

I've caught it from Letters and Coney tbf.

It becomes quite addictive.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I've caught it from Letters and Coney tbf.

It becomes quite addictive.

True. I spent most of my formative years on GW doing that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Villa win 3-1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Swansea 0-0 Wigan, full time.

[Marc Overmars]

Everton doing that mental thing of starting the season slowly then.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Everton 0-1 QPR full time.

[Master Splinter]

Everton :doh:

Moyes :haha:

[Master Splinter]

Torres starts again.

Kalou hauled off :lol:.

Malouda on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Big Man :haha:

Tries a shot but slices it wide for a throw-in.

Theo taught him that.

[Master Splinter]

Theo's quite the teacher.

[Master Splinter]

FOOTBALL LEAGUE UPDATE: In the Championship's late kick off, Ipswich take the lead at Peterborough through on-loan Blackburn Keith Andrews, who rifles an absolutely cracking volley from outside the area, which bounces in off the post. How Rovers fans wished they had him in their side today!


Bevan posted this after 18:00, and the score was already 4-1 to Peterborough :doh:.

The Beeb :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Darren Ferguson certainly has made Peterborough score a ridiculous amount of goals.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aguero misses an easy one. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bolton 0-1 Citeh, David Silva.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Aguero.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aguero puts a header wide, free header too.

[Master Splinter]

Walters :doh:

Need my star striker to perform.


Aguero misses another chance. The new Bendtner tbh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bolton 0-2 Citeh, Barry. What a goal.

:faint:

[Master Splinter]

Barry scores!

:haha:

[Boss]

Between Citeh and United for the title imo, especially if they get Nasri.

[Master Splinter]

Klasnic!

1-2.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bolton 1-2 Citeh, Klasnic. He smashed that in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muamba booked.

Honest Kevin Davies booked too. :lol:

Milner. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-2 half time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-3 Citeh, Dzeko.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good move from Bolton, terrible shot from Klasnic this time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dzeko has looked very good this season so far, linking up play too - like he did with Grafite I suppose.

[Joker]

I can't stand Ray Wilkins.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muamba off, Mark Davies on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bolton 2-3 Citeh, Honest Kevin Davies!

Great header.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aguero off, Tevez on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Terrible shot from Kolarov.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Paul Robinson is such a dick. He kicked David Silva in the balls and then has a go at him for being down on the ground.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adam Johnson on, Dzeko off.

Eagles off, Pratley on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adam Johnson puts one right across goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zabaleta on, David Silva off.

[Master Splinter]

Paul Robinson is such a dick.

One of the most underrated scumbag GHELs in the League.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He went on Talksport just so he could complain about Arsenal and its foreign weaklings.

Four added minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-3 full time.

[hobson's choice]

Both teams played well today, Bolton are even gonna get better when Holden comes back.

[Master Splinter]

Both teams played well today, Bolton are even gonna get better when Holden comes back.

And Lee.

[Joker]

Dickheads like Robinson who claim someone's dived when they haven't deserve as much criticism as so called divers IMO.

[Master Splinter]

Dickheads like Robinson who claim someone's dived when they haven't deserve as much criticism as so called divers IMO.

He should have grabbed Silva by the throat to ensure he was sent off!

It works for Barton.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And Lee.

And Tyrone Mears.

:unsure:

[Cripps_orig]

2nd youngest Man Utd starting 11 ever

Friedel starts for Spuds

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd: De Gea, Smalling, Jones, Evans, Evra, Nani, Cleverley, Anderson, Young, Rooney, Welbeck.
Subs: Lindegaard, Berbatov, Giggs, Park, Hernandez, Carrick, Fabio Da Silva.

Tottenham: Friedel, Walker, Dawson, Kaboul, Assou-Ekotto, Lennon, Livermore, Kranjcar, Bale, Van der Vaart, Defoe.
Subs: Gomes, Huddlestone, Jenas, Pavlyuchenko, Bassong, Corluka, Townsend.

Referee: Lee Probert (Wiltshire)

[Cripps_orig]

That Man Utd team looks a bit shit.

Hope they win though

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ed Chamberlain. :haha:

How hard is it to work out you just press the big triangle to play a clip?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant block from Kaboul to stop a very early goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rooney header, looped up so fairly easy for Friedel. Suicidal pass from VDV to lead to that though.

[Boss]

Hope Spurs win to keep the gap respectable.

Then when we sign Hazard and Benzema we'll be right on track. :scarf:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spurs win at Old Trafford? :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great save from Friedel to deny Cleverley.

[Boss]

It's happening lads.

:angry:

[GP]

Rooney looks ridiculous :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rooney looks ridiculous :lol:

For the tenth season running tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Evra airshot.

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dawson header, over. Alan Parry suddenly got excited about it for some reason.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bale. :lol:

Kick and rush.

[Niall_Quinn]

Utd are very direct these days and with good effect too. Like we used to play. Depressing watching them, ever more depressing having to hope they win this. If it's got to be them then make it 4, 5, 6 or more to nil please.

[GP]

Young is rubbish

[Joker]

United playing 4-4-2 this season it seems.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bale shot, easy for De Gea.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

United playing 4-4-2 this season it seems.

At home perhaps, although Rooney will drop back a lot. It won't be the case away to the better teams though.

[Niall_Quinn]

Young is rubbish

Nah, he's not. He fits into the team very well, like he's been playing there for years. Nani as well, Theo should be at that level now. Big difference though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

VDV went for glory.

[Niall_Quinn]

VDV went for glory.

Joined the wrong club for that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Joined the wrong club for that.

Glory-Glory. When we win a league game, I might actually venture over there for the first time this season.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Young header, loooped it for some reason.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

VDV. :haha:

RVP taught him that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kranjcar shoots, straight at De Gea.

[Joker]

At home perhaps, although Rooney will drop back a lot. It won't be the case away to the better teams though.

Yeah you're right I think they'll revert to 4-5-1 against us and play Park (if available), as they've had a lot of success against us using that tactic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Evans booked.

[Syn]

Joined the wrong club for that.

:lol:

[Ironing]

Anyone got a link? PM me plz xxx

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dawson booked. An honest attempt was Smudger's assessment. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nani shoots, I think the corner flag quivered.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

VDV shoots on the turn, pretty good take from De Gea.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Anderson. :lol:

He's not very good.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kaboul should be sent off.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Defoe. :rolleyes:

Terrible shot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 half time, a few good minutes but mainly crap.

[Cripps_orig]

Come on Man Utd

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Walker off, Corluka on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poor shot from Young that close to goal. Cleverley clearly handballed it prior to that too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lennon. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dreadful freekick from Young.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 Welbeck, great header. Great cross from Cleverley too.

[Niall_Quinn]

Seriously good goal, great cross, great header, Wellbeck, 1-0 Utd

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Welbeckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk kkkkkkkkkk

[Niall_Quinn]

Welbeckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk kkkkkkkkkk

Racist

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to Man Utd, right on the edge of the area.

[Cripps_orig]

Not much to be thankful for when it comes to Arsenal but watching this match, I'm thankful we have Theo over the absolute shite Lennon and Young

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rooney freekick, great save from Friedel again.

[Niall_Quinn]

Great FK Rooney, Friedel smart save.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Another terrible setpiece from Young, he nearly messed up that Rooney one just a minute ago.

[Niall_Quinn]

Not much to be thankful for when it comes to Arsenal but watching this match, I'm thankful we have Theo over the absolute shite Lennon and Young

Utd and Spuds are probably just as grateful.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Overhead kick effort from Welbeck, didn't really catch it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Huddlestone and Diaz on, Kranjcar and Livermore off.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Racist

Nah he's in my GW team

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 Anderson, great goal.

[Marc Overmars]

Nani or Rooney assist by any chance?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Defoe smashes the post!

De Gea. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nani or Rooney assist by any chance?

No chance. It was Welbeck.

[Marc Overmars]

No chance. It was Welbeck.

Fuck.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

No chance. It was Welbeck.

The boy is doing wonders for me tonight

[Marc Overmars]

The boy is doing wonders for me tonight

Fag.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giggs, Park and Hernandez on, Welbeck, Cleverley and Young off.

[Joker]

United have looked bloody good in this half.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Giggs, Park and Hernandez on, Welbeck, Cleverley and Young off.

You have to say the manc sqaud is amazing tbh the balance is right and everything. Can't see past them to win the league tbh

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great clearance from Rooney.

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

You have to say the manc sqaud is amazing tbh the balance is right and everything. Can't see past them to win the league tbh

Probably right. When Fergie leaves, I will party.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on De Gea, chuck one in.

[Master Splinter]

Anderson. :lol:

He's not very good.

:pal:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-0 Rooney.

[Master Splinter]

When Fergie leaves, I will party.

Fag.

[Marc Overmars]

Yay FF points.

[Niall_Quinn]

Come on De Gea, chuck one in.

De Gea reminds me of an Almunia but without the talent for shot stopping. I'm assuming there's loads of room for improvement or else why was he ever bought?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three added minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Gea spills another one, Defoe tries to hack his head off.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Gea reminds me of an Almunia but without the talent for shot stopping. I'm assuming there's loads of room for improvement or else why was he ever bought?

He's alright on shot stopping but then generally, most keepers are. He would've been tested a lot more at Atletico with such a poor defence in front of him so perhaps concentration is going to be his biggest issue at the moment.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-0 full time. That's what I predicted.

Spuds. :haha:

[GunnerFan4Life]

We're gonna have to do something special to win this one.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

We're gonna have to do something special to win this one.

Got to worry about beating Udinese 1st.

[Master Splinter]

Andy Garcia :lol:.

Even Owen's probably ahead of him now.
