Man City will have to do well seeing how much money they have spent, otherwise I think Mark Hughes will be in big trouble. Still think it will take them half a season to find their best team though!

That is the kiddie games over; the big matches are tomorrow. |

Reading got beaten 3-0 by Newcastle. I can't see Reading having a good season like they did last season. Newcastle have sold a lot of players and are under strength and were still beaten by an Newcastle side. Bad result for Reading.
I've talked to many Reading fans before the start of the season and not one said they will get promoted. |

Thank you.... I am honoured. We better hope then that we score well then tomorrow. However, one point; Liverpool are harder opposition than Everton was facing Arsenal. So a victory over Liverpool would be equivalent as Arsenal putting 5 past Everton. By the way; have you ever seen the gunners play football? Live that is, and not on the box either.

6 goals away to Everton is quite an achievement, but I still think it'll be a flash in the pan.

The last I heard it was 5... they must have scored another one after I switched off the results. I agree... it was lucky... however, Everton haven't really bought anything this season. |

Your wife is an Arsenal supporter!? Oh, I am soooo sorry. My commiserations go to you (or should it be with her  ). I believe a good psychiatrist could help or ask her to try to dip her head in a bucket of water a few times; I’ve heard that will help. Have you ever thought of trying to get her off it and onto a football team?

QUOTE (Familytreeingforever @ Aug 15 2009, 03:00 PM) Looks like Hull were really unlucky to not get the draw against Chelsea today. I don't support Hull but I would like to see them do well. Hull were lucky Chelsea didn't have their shooting boots on. They would otherwise had been given a drubbing. |

They didn't though, it always makes me laugh when people talk about how many goals they "could have" scored, if we went on could haves, the results over the last 50 years would all be very different, especially in the cup competitions. |

The point is... Chelsea deserved to win on endeavour (and match stats), Hull deafened and nearly got a point... that is unlucky is it? I suppose, if they were unlucky, that means Hull would have been lucky to have got a point.

No you said "6 goals away to Everton is quite an achievement, but I still think it'll be a flash in the pan." You never said anything about the 1 that Everton got. I thought Hull played well.... Chelsea wasn't on full throttle. |
