Well done, looking forward to Saturday.



Well done Spurs.. Arsenal lost their game in hand but in terms of title race Chelsea have it won tbh.


Arsenal had lots of possession as expected but had not much shots on targets, where as Spurs msde the most of their chances when they got them.. Van Persie made the difference to the Gunners play when he came on but Spurs played well especially at the back and Arsenal were dominant at times.


Villa drew 2-2 against Everton, oh well at least they will be in top 6 again at least.

I don't find myself saying this too often... but tonight is an exception!

Arsenal haven't blown it yet because if they won against Wigan they would be up to 74 points if United lose against City (hope we don't) then Chelsea lost at WHL against Spurs they would still be in it so still all to play for IMO.

for anyone who missed the first goal.

.....from the lows of Wembley to the highs of a derby win. 

TBH I didnt think the Rose goal was all that good, Almunia fell over and wasnt even in his net... the only credit he gets from me is that he had the confidence to shoot from that distance.

Also, read in he paper this morning that half a million tickets for the world cup have still not been sold, thats including the final and it doesnt surprise me at all. Target for terrorism and theres probably a huge chance you will see someone or yourself will get shot. Even after it finishes when there have been numerous murders the WC officials will claim it was a "Huge Success"

I was surprised at the figures. Apart from SA the next big sellers were the USA and then the UK. Australia and Japan were well represented too. They say lessons have been learnt and a different regime of ticket sales will exist in Brazil (another inappropriate choice IMO) No-one will actually say that yer average football fan is avoiding South Africa.

It ticked all the right boxes for me, as a fully paid up member of the "if you don't shoot, you don't score" brigade, I'm more than happy to witness goals like that.

The one thing that really annoys me about Arsenal is how their players try and walk the ball into the net. (forgive me Veggie).



Know some people from SA who will be able to see most of the matches.



Albion snubbed a promotion party proposal, oh well at least the preparations for next season are under way.

One would think that enabling the entire football watching public to witness them humbling our good selves tomorrow would be sufficient.

Albion to win tomorrow and hopefully Utd.

Just looked at the odds and WBA are 5/6 to win and 2/1 win/win.
Do they know something we don't? Are they really expecting a close game?

 
 

Oh dear, City!

They were far too eager for a winner towards the end - keep the ball and go home with a point ffs!!!

Never seen such a piss poor ref, foul after foul on Adebayor and only a yellow handed out to Evra. One touch on Rooney and we get a yellow. Barry clipped in area... nothing from the ref.

Should be a hefty ban on Rooney the cnut, trying to kid the ref then jumped straight up. Surely an investigation there. Nominated for PFA my arse... in the refs ear the whole game, blatently kicked De Jong and no yellow, he goes down to ground clutching his foot and then jumps straight back up and full speed ahead when Kompany is given a yellow card. Asking for a good kick in if you ask me...

Corruption.

On another side,

We were poor, very anti tactics by Mancini aswell... bringing on Ireland, SWP and Vieira cost us the game. Bringing on Vieira was possibly the worst sub, too slow and and way past it. Thank f*ck we are not in the champions league, can't cope with this stuff week in week out.

I love Matty Taylor...

Did Weiss get a run out disley?

Like us you have been right down through the Divisions-you must have done!  Unfortunately at your end of the spectrum players are able to cheat at world class levels and thus they need at least another couple of linesmen assistant referees.

Hmmm not really, when myself and my Dad went to maine road around 96-99, I was still young... he said I never really paid attention to the games, I was dragged to watch City at that time as I was too young to be left home alone so I wont be able to remember any shocking decisions. For me anyway I think the standard of refereeing in the EPL is worse than the lower divisions... perhaps im wrong though, I don't often watch other football than the premier league so its hard to judge.

Congrats Canaries - Promotion today, 1 point to the League One Championship!

Pops in to see if any commentary on the Boro match from GJ. Nope...back to the telebox then

 Lived in Norwich/Norfolk for 14 years, used to go watch them just about every week, and have lots of friends down there who will be happy chappies today

There was lovely footage of the Rochdale supporters going mad after only their 2nd promotion in their history.

I officially hate Paulo Ferreira



Nob.

What a nightmare - the day has gone from bad to worse.

How long will Terrys ban be for?

Looks like fourth is going to be decided when spuds visit COMS. We will sh*t all over them on the 5th may.

Do I win £5?
Answer = Yes! Much more. It's never morally correct backing against your own team, but it is economic.

I think that I could have done better!

Just got a text to say that those cheating Bavarians beat Hannover 69ers 7-0

He won the free kick for the equaliser and setup the winner... This is the first time he has successfully crossed the ball.

Ashley Cole was on the bench for Chelsea yesterday. I'm not sure how close he is to full fitness - or whether he will start any of the remaining fixtures. The team could really do with Michael Essien, Ricardo Carvalho and Jose Boswinga available at this time - but i think only Essien is anywhere close to recovery.

Yeah, me too!

Lol
anyone else fancy a pie?
 

Wigan 3 Arsenal 2

Remarkable! Heading towards 80 minutes played and Arsenal were cruising at 2 nil up!!! That win gives Wigan enough breathing space now - they should be safe.

Trust me!

I just lost a f*cking fortune this weekend.

great commentary too.

...just like you did United on Saturday....
