Generally discuss anything to do with football...

I cant believe watford lost to a penalty in the 96th minute, there luck is getting worse and worse, why the hell were 6 minutes added on anyway?...This is what could sadly for me see watford relegated this season they were easily the better team but i dont get points for being the better team :duh:

i cant believe the blackburn sheffield match

how do you go 0-0 with 3 penalties

[Matt]

Bolton seem to do that quite often. I remember they did EXACTLY the same thing last season against Man City. Man City were all over them for the whole match, and I think they hit the woodwork 17 times in total.

Then 3 minutes into injury time, they score a penalty.

And that Blackburn game was mental, how it ended 0-0 I don't know.....

[Kay B]

Arsenal are wank lol....

[Crow]

Wenger needs to realise that Henry cant do everything

Tevez played well when he came on for West Ham but they should have brought Maschereno on aswell, Tevez was left on his own

[Matt]

They're still using the "our team is young" excuse I think. Someone was saying it's their worst ever start to a football season.

[Kay B]

Arsenal have using that excuse for years now, ffs arsene if your team is young and not winning buy some old players, he isnt a retard strangely enough he is a good manager they just rely on henry for too much and like crow explained he can't do it all, it's kinda like the situation with gerrard and liverpool but gerrard does have quality around that henry doesnt.

[Matt]

I suppose you have to give him a little bit of credit for not going the way that all the other teams are going, paying through the nose to win matches.

Man Utd's youth system has produced some major talent, so perhaps now it's Arsenal's turn.

[Crow]

but selling Viera and Ashley COle didn't help them at all, currently them have a shite defence and no strong midfield player to hold the team together

[Kay B]

They have ljunberg who is there only great midfielder...or is he injured?

Im suprised rosisky has made no impact, and im sure baptista will do ok for them, with those three in the mid i dont think the have a bad midfield it's just upfront henry no longer has a good partner (van persie sucks) and the defence is shite

[Crow]

Ljungberg isn't a strong midfielder like Viera was though, they have signed Denilson (not that one) from Sao Paulo for 3.4million but he's still young (18), they need more experience

[Matt]

Well Baptista may be able to play a similar role to Vieira, but yea they still need a couple of experienced players in there.

[Kay B]

Baptista is strong but he never played the holding role for madrid like viera did for arsenal, it'll be new to him and he may not adapt to it well, Ljunberg isn't strong i agree but he has the skill and pace to punish defences.
