[Cripps_orig]

1-0 Chelsea

Bosingwa

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dunn hit the post for Blackeye.

[Cripps_orig]

Chelsea are my banker.

Need a couple of more goals.

In 2nd place atm but miles behind this Richard guy whoever he is on here

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Norwich are creating quite a few opportunities by the sounds of it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dunn is injured again. Formica on for him.

Pedersen also off injured, Petrovic on for him.

Chelsea have not been too good at all according to Thommo.

[Cripps_orig]

Just 1 goal in the 3pm kick offs.

Football is a bit shit these days.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Howard saves a pelanty!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Thommo says Torres has had a shocker.

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 1-1 Norwich, Holt.

Hilario fucked up. :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Norwich score

Hilarious :haha:

AVB :wave:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Drogba is in a really bad way apparently, knocked out in midair and obviously hit the ground quite horribly.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Anelka to come on for him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Malouda off, Mata on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Drogba hasn't moved in about four or five minutes.

[Master Splinter]

Holt :bow:.

What a legend.

And Sinclair hit the bloody post. Could have been a glorious day for me.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I think I will chuckle everytime Goodwillie is mentioned.

[Boss]

ffs

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Chelsea. :rolleyes: Ruddy sent off.

[Master Splinter]

Just realised Fakeyank has Di Santo in his team. FFS. He would score two today :doh:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 2-1 Norwich, Lampard with the pel.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Blackeye again, Jagielka gave it away.

[Master Splinter]

Chelsea scraping wins while being awful is more worrying than last year's bulldozing start.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's missed! Formica hit the woodwork.

:haha:

[GP]

Someone tell Drogba that Planking is NOT cool.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Torres hauled off for Lukaku.

[Master Splinter]

Ivanovic misses a sitter :doh:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Everton!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Samba gave it away. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Blackeye 0-1 Everton, Arteta!

Bloody hell Blackeye.

Steve Kean. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Blackeye 0-1 Everton full time.

[Master Splinter]

Blackburn having worse luck than us :lol:.

Two hamstrings and two pel misses.

I wish Fat Sam was still their manager, then I could enjoy the :haha:ing at them more.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Swansea 0-0 Sunderland full time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cahill starts for Bolton.

[Master Splinter]

Pat Nevin is possibly even more biased than Ray Wilkins. He is awful.

Mata had been on about 40 seconds and he called it a great debut and apparently Chelsea have dominated.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 3-1 Norwich, Mata. :sick:

[Master Splinter]

FFS. Mata scores.

3-1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 3-1 Norwich, full time.

[fari]

poor, poor defending on the goal. good awareness by mata. he is a class player so i expect lots from him. lukaku looked alright. torres has fallen off badly.

Subs: Bogdan, Sanli, Mark Davies, Blake, Pratley, Wheater, Riley.

Referee: Lee Probert (Wiltshire)

[Marc Overmars]

Mata scored eh.

Wenger. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ray Wilkins is co-commentating. :(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to Liverpool, dangerous area.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adam hits it straight in to the wall.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Very poor touch from Downing, he would've been in then otherwise.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool 1-0 Bolton, Henderson.

[Master Splinter]

Henderson scored eh.

Wenger. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great shot from Petrov on the volley, Reina parries it away.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kuyt somehow misses it, great cross from Henderson.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Suarez goes for the complicated finish, lord knows why. Superb movement though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Muamba off, Mark Davies on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kelly off, Skrtel on. Bolton are back in this.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adam dives. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Steinsson booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 half time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Klasnic booked, had a good hack at Lucas.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool 2-0 Bolton Skrtel. What a header. Zat Knight is awful.

I might have got the Skrtel-baiting wrong.

[Joker]

Cahill must be getting sick of playing with Knight.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-0 Adam.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Suarez is ridiculous.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Eagles off, Tuncay on.

[Master Splinter]

Kelly off, Skrtel on. Bolton are back in this.

Maccy :rose:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maybe I need to re-think this whole commenting on something strategy.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zat Knight tripped Suarez up with his hands, a pelanty wasn't given though.

[Niall_Quinn]

Knight's having a stormer. He reminds me a bit of Squillaci.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kevin Davies off, Pratley on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Henderson off, Maxi on.
Suarez off, Carroll on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Owen Coyle has a massive facepalm after Zat Knight's attempted pass.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two added minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool 3-1 Bolton, Klasnic. Not very good defending from Carragher.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-1 full time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

http://www.abload.de/img/drogba6kav.gif

Drogba's fall. :sick:

[GP]

Did he died?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nah, well yeah he did but then he remembered he needs to move to Arsenal.

:good:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

RE MOTD: Did anybody else notice that during the Blackeye vs Everton highlights the score changed to BLA 0-1 EVE before Everton's pelanty was even taken? Fucking idiots. :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Downing looks awesome. Should have got him

[Niall_Quinn]

http://www.abload.de/img/drogba6kav.gif

[Marc Overmars]

That's a fucking good midfield and attack from City.

Except for Bazza. He's a bit shit.

[Coney]

http://www.abload.de/img/drogba6kav.gif

Drogba's fall. :sick:

Dead cat bounce?

[Coney]

Modric and Nasri start.

Is it wrong for me to wish for a broken leg? :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Is it wrong for me to wish for a broken leg? :unsure:

For who?

[Coney]

I was going to say Nasri, but in that match, I could be less particular.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mass broken legs then? Glad I don't have ESPN.

[Coney]

Mass broken legs then?

Why not? As long as the breakers are GHELs and the victims are all foreign, the FA isn't going to mind.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's a contact sport.

:good:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcodes 0-0 Fulham half time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

VDV kicked at Zabaleta apparently, booked.

[Mr. Lahey]

1-0 CIty.

Nasri sets up Dzeko

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spuds 0-1 Citeh, Dzeko.

[Joker]

Class goal.

[Gubby Allen]

City are on a chance about every 30 seconds, cutting Spurs to shreds down the right.

[Gubby Allen]

Crouch an inch wide, this is a terrific game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcodes 1-0 Fulham, Best.

[Gubby Allen]

0-2 Dzeko again - brilliant.

[Mr. Lahey]

Nasri sets up Dzeko again 2-0

[Joker]

2-0 Dzeko

Nasri's second assist.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Holy crap.

Also, Spuds. :lol:

[Mr. Lahey]

Dzeko is a fantastic player. what a header.

[Gubby Allen]

Spurs are bottom on their own now.

[Gubby Allen]

Nearly 3-0 good Freidel save.

[Gubby Allen]

Jeez, Silva shaves the post, this could be about 2-10.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

want both teams to lose
but a draw is OK. . .on that half that aint going to happen

only good thing is Dzeko is in my team

[Cripps_orig]

Good result for us so far

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 half time.

[Marc Overmars]

As if they weren't looking good going into the season anyway, fucking Dzeko had decided to go mental.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcodes 2-0 Fulham, Best again.

[Joker]

Their second goal reminds me of how we used to counter attack at pace like that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh FFS, I've just logged in to my I Know The Score account and noticed I predicted Tottenham 1-22 Manchester City.

:doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

Oh FFS, I've just logged in to my I Know The Score account and noticed I predicted Tottenham 1-22 Manchester City.

:doh:

LOL, what a fool! The spuds won't score!

[Cripps_orig]

:lol:

Could happen tbh

[Gubby Allen]

Hat trick 0-3.

[Master Splinter]

Spuds :haha:.

'Arry thinks they can challenge for the title.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dzeko. :bow:

'Arry. :haha: Needs to be more of a fackin footbawl manahgha.

[Marc Overmars]

We should cherish this years CL campaign, it will be our last for a while.

[Gubby Allen]

Next game for Spuds is away to Wolves, then Liverpool, then away again.

0-4!!!

[Master Splinter]

Aguero.

0-4.

Spuds :haha:.

[Mr. Lahey]

Augero 4-0

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcodes 2-1 Fulham, Dempsey.

0-4? Spuds. :haha:

I'm off to Glory-Glory.

[Young Guns 11]

Dempsey pulls one back for Fulham :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Time for One Day Ramos IMO.

[Joker]

Mancini needs to be given credit for putting together such a balanced squad of players. They've got skill in abundance, they close down all over the pitch and are extremely strong in defence, capable of dealing with crosses, freekicks etc etc. Moreover, they've got a goalscorer up front capable of getting on the end of the intricate buildups.

[Gubby Allen]

Dawson :pal:

Humiliated by Aguero.

[Marc Overmars]

Sperz. :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Spuds :haha:

We'll lose to Mancs but Spuds doing their best to make it as good a day as possible

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I would love it just fuckin love it if we bend these cunts over and love em up the ass without lube.

I hope the players have enough pride to fuckin show em that were still the bigger and better team and club and make em feel ashamed. cunts.

I really hate them cunts and their love off fans. If they even attempt to do the Poznan we should fuckin shoot them in the ass.

5-2 to Spurs.

:lol:

[Gubby Allen]

Time for One Day Ramos IMO.

With Spurs' next couple of games, it could be that sort of start again.

GD -7 and no goals so far.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

must win

Hmmm.

[Gubby Allen]

Shit, Kaboul scores

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcodes win 2-1.

[hobson's choice]

Kompany is such a clean tackler

[WengerISaLizard]

http://i.imgur.com/Li1IT.jpg

[McNamara That Ghost...]

VDV with a hamstring injury. :lol:

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Crouch is shit

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Silva should have made it 1-5 apparently.

[hobson's choice]

City are even gonna be more lethal when De Jong comes back, and Yaya can let loose again.

[Gubby Allen]

5-1 Brilliant Dzeko goal again

[Master Splinter]

1-5.

Dzeko's fourth.

'Arry :haha:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-5, Dzeko with his fourth.

:haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

City are even nicking our songs. Joke team.

[Cripps_orig]

Harry :wave:

[Gubby Allen]

City were lethal.

Still fancy Man Utd to edge them out over the league but City would be far better equipped to give Barcelona a decent match..

[Niall_Quinn]

Let's just wait a while. Early season is hardly ever an accurate indicator of how things will end up. Last year it looked like even we could mount a serious challenge at this stage, LOL. City have to self destruct yet and (shit) stab each other to death in a cash and ego driven frenzy.

[Marc Overmars]

Dzeko. :bow:

What a man.

Sperz. :lol:

[Darth Vela]

Indeed, although I'm heavily inferring that Spurs are a big pile of shite this season, leaving Modric and Kranjcar in the middle to deal with Nasri/Toure/Barry is a BIG hole in their team today.

[Niall_Quinn]

'Arry is signing 273,441 'triffic players in the next 3 days, should help them out a bit.

[Master Splinter]

Not that he's a wheeler dealer, you understand.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WBA 0-0 Stoke half time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WBA 0-1 Stoke, Shotton.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 full time.

[Cripps_orig]

Stoke looking good

This season is just getting worse and worse

[Master Splinter]

Now Stoke win too.

FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spuds. :haha:

Us. :doh:

[Master Splinter]

Alan Tate injury blow for Swansea City after golfing accident

Swansea City defender Alan Tate will be out for up to six months after breaking his leg in what his club have described as a "bizarre golfing accident".

In a statement the club said Tate was a passenger in a golf buggy that lost control on Sunday.

The 28-year-old was taken to Morriston Hospital where he was diagnosed with a fractured tibia of his left leg.

"We're really gutted for him and he's obviously very disappointed," said Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers.

"To be out for up to six months with what's happened will be absolutely devastating."

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14702158.stm

:doh:

Poor drive.
