cockney reds?! booo hisssss

[Annasfield]

They know they'd get lynched

[Jah Lush]

I don't know about a lynching but if one was to pop his/her head in we could point our metaphorical fingers at them and laugh like hyenas.

[Annasfield]

Yes - hopefully this will last all season!

[Ladygooner]

We hope to pull Sven down a peg or two tomorrow - unfortunately poor old Jens is out injured - lets hope Almunia has been practising catching and kicking the ball!

[Ladygooner]

Jah - you were robbed!

[SimonM]

Visiting side at Old Trafford denied blatant penalty shock-horror...:-S

[citizenED]

Why-o-why does Arsene make things difficult for himself by playing without a goalscorer?

[Ladygooner]

Two each for Van Persie, Hleb and Fabregas this season

[SeanMacGabhann]

Another "will we (Arsenal) ever score game" followed by an afternoon hoping Spurs win. Very odd.. But if we win game in hand we are joint top and we are winning games we would have lost or drawn last year, so... I'm relatively happy

[Verona]

Yes LG, that is great, but has Wenger ever bought a classy striker? Remember, Henry was bought as a winger. How about Berbatov?

BTW that was me posting - just using someone elses laptop *ahem* and not bothering to log in. whoops

[SeanMacGabhann]

I did wonder Citizen!

Wenger bought Anelka as a striker didn't he? Apart from being the world's oldest child, he was pretty handy

But let's never ever mention Jeffers

[citizenED]

OK, he bought them, but they weren't successful. He could have picked up Owen when he came back from Real. He could have tried for Bent this summer - Andy Johnson? Don't get me wrong - I worship Wenger, but there is just that tiny little piece of the footballing jigsaw that he seems to overlook, a sniffer to thunk the ball it the net.

[Keef]

Lets not forget Jeffers ;-)

I remember Wenger being very interested in Robbie Fowler when he was at his great peak. Glad that never happened, would have been horrible!

[Keef]

By the way, did anyone watch the Liverpool match (Anna)?

I couldn't believe it earlier when I got home from Reading and read that Carragher ended up with a collapsed lung, and Hypia a broken nose!!! Bloody Roy Keane, he's always been a thugish twat, and now it seems his team are playing like he did!

[Annasfield]

Hi Keef - yep saw the game. Hypia's broken nose didn't look pleasant, lots of claret. Can't remember what happened to Carra', think it was a knee in the ribs. At first it looked like he wasn't going to come off - can't believe he stayed on as long as he did.

Not wanting to get complacent, but at least we go in tomorrow nights game with an away goal and being at home to Derby on Saturday should mean we won't miss Carra and Stevie too much. I hope I've not jinxxed us now.... Mind you, no locals boys playing is not so good!

Assume you'll be watching the game tomorrow? Was supposed to go, but could only get one ticket and didn't fancy driving home on my own.

Quite glad I've got Voronin in my FFL team >:D<

[Oily Telly Tyke]

Top win for Barnsley at home to Plymouth 3-2...we're off and running with our very own foreign legion at Oakwell!!!

[Keef]

Anna, it's a friend's birthday today, so not exactly sure what's happening, but hoping to get in t the CPT to watch at least some of it....

Indeed we were. But how often does a visiting side get a penalty at Old Trafford? About once in a blue moon I should think. Anyway, I thought we were by far the better side and at least deserved to get a point out of the game. Cracking goal by Nani though.

>>Top win for Barnsley at home to Plymouth 3-2<<

URMichaelParkinson&ICM?5!

Nearly threw it away though didn't you?

[Annasfield]

Did you see it? Quite impressed with Yossi.

5-0 :)-D

[mockney piers]

That's because Yossi was a superstar. My Israeli colleague had dinner with him and said he's an polite, shy, unassuming lad too. That more or less somes up your average premiership player doesn't it :-\

[Jah Lush]

So, Mockney, worth every penny that Kieron Dyer? He's the equivalent of having a Rolls Royce that's permanently in the garage. Well, maybe not a Roller, more like a second hand Vauxhall.

[mockney piers]

Or a vauxhall astra with ultraviolet neon under car lighting and a massive spoiler. Err...and a broken axle.
