Meaty what do you think of Barcelona's pursuit of Robinho?, do you think he will leave City?.

I have faith in Hughes, if Robbie did leave then we would probably go all out on Ribery, not to mension we have Petrov who is desperate for a starting place. I wouldnt be all that fussed if Robinho left, just grateful he actually came to city anyway, its not very often a world-class player joins a team who aint qualified for the champions league.

Robinho is a class player, but at the time he joined City I think he was desperate to get out of Madrid as soon as he could as his time there clearly ended and  was tempted by the ambition of the club and cash that was offered. His away performances leave a lot to be desired though and Bellamy is proving a more important player for sure.


Robinho will probably end up at Chelski or Barca if he wants to go, City obviously can just go out and get who they want to replace....

That too, but still exciting.

I hope so too, but as a Baggies fan of many, many years, I am always cautious.

You have to be, never know what is around the corner and you have to hope for the result to obviously go in your favour but it so sucks when it doesn't, but you can't ahve things your way all the time so it's a balance.

Good to see Huth get his come uppance, what he did to Upson was nasty & sly.

Oh the slap, nasty indeed and what made him do that how stupid but his own fault. Spurs good run will probably continue but you never know.

but why did he do it , mind you the camera was brilliantly placed,

I wouldn't underestimate Stoke, we've let in more goals than them this season, but scored a lot more, an early goal would be ideal, for us , they are a stronger team than last season , A win before the North London Derby would be good . Not sure what the odds are for tomorrow.

Stoke are a organised side it's annoying when I read that they're most noticed for the Rory Delap throw ins, they're clever but they have their own style of play and it suits them.


Odds would say Spurs win of course, anyone can win these days it's exciting no clear winner.



There will be war on here then for that week, another display like the last meeting will be great in terms of entertainment.

what tomorrow or next Saturday  

Tomorrow, as for Ze Gunners they will probably be the slight favourites but bookies odds don't mean much imo anyway.

6/1 West Ham 3/1 Arsenal 1/2

Ooo, we've got the Dingles

Had a good read in the E&S Deman about the BC derby, 2 pages on it, will be an exciting match thats for sure.

Darlo the BC Derby is us and the Dingles

I will be a Villa fan for 90 minutes tomorrow.

Is it wrong to class the Brummies as BC teams then?.


I had a read of that article about the misfiring Baggies strikers also PB and match preview.

Of course it doesn't matter, was just joking!!  Having trouble typing because my cat has curled herself up in the crook of my arm, so typing one fingered at the moment.

Finally she moves so both hands again!!

Good article in the E&S Darlo, I know we are scoring goals from everywhere at the moment, but I would prefer the strikers to start scoring more - we're never satisfied are we??

I know PB, oh dear lol it's obviously very excited.

Carles Puyol signs a new three year deal at Barca at last.


Jose Mourinho laughs off Liverpool link http://www.skysports.com/story


I don't think the Inter fans have warmed to him yet as their manager he hasn't done a bad job at all although in the CL they have to get their act together.

You always want more, the strikers are paid tom score goals and so far thats proving difficult they've got to improve and take the chances and try to score when they can but the goals coming from all areas which shows team spirit is high and they are all contributing.

I hadn't realised how young the team is as well with an average age of 23.

Sol Campbell could have played a very useful part in the team then.

The squad will get more experience if the manager sticks with them but slowly adds so age doesn't matter at all.


Sol Campbell wasn't needed though, funny how no PL side is in for him yet they will at some point.

I don't think a PL team will, I think he will go to a team who is going for promotion in the Championship.

He'll end up at Newcastle or Boro probably then if they're willing to take the chance since Albion not interested.

In theory   :nails:  we don't need any more central defenders, though I would have preferred us to keep Huth.

Liverpool are prepared to offer star duo Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres every opportunity to prove their fitness ahead of the crunch clash with Manchester United.
Bring it on if they will be fit to play.

Was he that handy with his fists when he was up with boro Joe, I've never had him down as that sort of player, I still wonder if Upson had got in first, and if the punch was his response.

Evening all

Henry Lansburys scored 2 already tonight for Watford. Another one of our babies doing well

RZB - I wonder which comedy genius at the PL fixture section thought if would be a wizard wheeze to make us play eachother on Halloween. Should be fun.

By the way, how are the North London rejects doing? Can we drop Adebayor just to incite him to throw a complete wobbly? It must be all of two weeks since he last acted like a prat

Hi there Veggie


Ooh the Hammers next then for Ze Gunners, Pip hasn't been on for ages.

Adebayor is doing just fine He's also scored four goals just like Van pussy... even when Ade has missed three games

£25mil??? Bargain

Hiya Veggie,

It was this week last year that we had the 4-4 game, my how times flies,
Not checked either of the FF teams since the break for Internationals,  

I noticed the goals are flying in at Vicarage road, poor Wednesday, Do you think you will get the win at Uk on Sunday, West Ham are slipping into a real situation, They just can't seem to get the win.

So many different versions

Adebayor, Adebayorrrrrrrr,
Cost less than Berbatov,
But scores alot more.

Adebayor, Adebayorrrrrrrr,
Ran the 100 metres,
in nine point four.

The baby's not yours, the baby's not yourrsssss,
Oh Wayne Rooney,
It's Adebayors

Adebayor, Adebayorrrrrrrr,
Stamped on Van Persie,
His face abit sore.

Adebayor, Adebayorrrrrrrr,
Just like Tevez,
Said fuck the top four.

Adebayor, Adebayorrrrrrrr,
Doesn't like Smackdown,
Prefers Monday night Raw.

Adebayor, Adebayorrrrrrrr,
Thinks Coleen Rooney's,
A dirty scouse whore.

Adebayor, Adebayorrrrrrrr,
April at the Emirates,
It's going to be war.

Adebayor, Adebayorrrrrrrr,
Loves to go to Tokyo,
To eat his fish raw.

Adebayor, Adebayorrrrrrrr,
Gave Rachael Stevens one,
She screamed more, more, more.

Adebayor, Adebayorrrrrrrr,
Walked into a nightclub,
And cleared the dance floor.

Hahahahaha Meaty, I knew that comment would bring you out to play
You are welcome to him, every Arsenal fan I know would have snapped your hand off for 15 million just to get shot of him.
he may be ok at the mo but give it time, he'll turn on you in the end.

Evening Darlo, You alright my darling?
I miss Pip and Green Fairy. We have lost an awful lot of regulars from here, either they have gone completely or are hardly ever here. I wish they would come back even though I have most of them on FB or email.

Adebayor will be soon be forgotten about by the Arsenal fans at the end of the season, feelings are still raw about his departure and now the City fans will appreciate him even more but he'll always be booed at the Emirates anyway.

charming Meaty....

Well until then im sure we will be fine... when that time comes, we will just bring in another to replace him Problem solved.

I miss TGF also she was so lovely, we did gossip quite a bit on C4. I wonder what happened to Richard_h I know he did lurk quite a bit maybe he was unhappy about something and never bothered coming back.



Lol that song is quite funny.

Hi RZB, I could have gone to the match this weekend with a workmate of my sons who is a WH season ticket holder and has a spare ticket but I didn't want to sit with the hopefully unhappy Hammers.
We are having a charity fans match beforehand for John Hartson like we did before the Celtic game.
I'm not sure who will win, London derbies are notoriously hard to predict and the Hammers are due a win. I hope we can carry on our winning streak but we were tired and seemed a bit clueless at times in the CL match this week so who knows
