Premiership 29th-31st October

The defending in this game goes from bad to shambolic to criminal.

I'd still back Chelsea to win this.

Phil Dowd is the new AR in the Man Utd/Everton game. I have to see that.

 

[Pedro]

Why do they have fucking alan smith commentating on an arse game? 'right decision no red card', bollox it was

 

[tobi]

Going forward he looks great, but he doesn't seem like the strongest defender.

Your being kind, defensively he's awful.

 

[haxman]

Man Utd just about do enough again. 18 shots to 7 in Everton's favour. 0-1 Utd.

Baines hit the bar from a freekick too.

 

[werty]

Jesus! 3-2 Arsenal. Eek

 

[haxman]

No way. Didn't see that coming at all. This we don't need.

 

[mpickard2087]

Fucking hell

 

[werty]

Poor keeping again.

 

[cwy21]

LOL. Somehow they're level on points now with us (with two more played)

 

[tommo84]

I'd still back Chelsea to win this.

I should have kept quiet.

 

[Pedro]

what the hell was that, fell over and still scored

 

[AngerManagement]

how ambitious are we? do we want a Chelsea win so we can pull further clear of Arsenal or do we want Chelsea to drop points so we can aim higher (even at the risk of Arsenal keeping pace with us?)

Maybe a draw would be best for us to see both teams dropping two, but I'd probably still rather see Chelsea win this 4-3

 

[Pedro]

No way. Didn't see that coming at all. This we don't need.

who knows, might be good for us if we finish above the both of them. Hoping for a draw really

 

[AngerManagement]

Gervinho looking very good today actually and Walcott did amazingly well for his goal. If we had him instead of Lennon we'd be in great shape (much as I dislike Walcott he clearly has greater long term potential than lennon)

 

[werty]

How bad are Chelsea?

 

[haxman]

An Arsenal player who doesn't dive shocker.

 

[tobi]

Gervinho would have been a great signing for us.

 

[tommo84]

An Arsenal win was the one result I wouldn't be happy with, so now in that uncomfortable position of cheering Chelsea on. Ordinarily I would back them to at least get a point with 30 mins to go but defensively they look, well... absent is probably the best word to describe it!

 

[Luka Van der Bale]

AVB's defensive management is simply shocking. Has to improve if he is going to be a top manager. Amazing how bad both defences are. Koscielny is starting to look a better player just as the rest of their defence is collapsing around him.
