Alakori is next on my 'to-do' list by the PORNSTARS

We've played Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Citeh now

5 top teams and the top 6 of last season . . . all in the first 9 games.
We can focus on trying to claw some points back now with a good winning streak.

Next up . . . Everton (away). Another tough test and Sunderland after that.
5 points gap is not a disaster at this stage . . . so many more points up for grabs.


As much as some people here criticise Carrick and jump on his back after every match . . . I keep saying and will continue to say it that he is the only CM we have that is disciplined enough to sit, hold and protect our back four . . . especially in the big games. He intercepts and breaks up opponents attacks with ease. He has the odd games here and there but he is vital in the protection of our defence.

We need a fully fit Vidic back ASAP too.

Chris Foy dey sell red card for Loftus road ni sha . . . Bosingwa is off

Humiliation!!!

How often will Evans keep costing us?
Kudos to Man City though . . . they deserve the win

debosky:


I don't even know which one of those two cats Dudu is.

Its clearly summer in that pic . . . but look at Dudu carrying winter jacket like a village man

i would have loved to apologize, but i still ended up ontop. . .no homo

With your PDP ish . . . no problem

duduspace:
Just noticed an Android App for the PL Fantasy league in the Android Market, comes in 2 editions Lite (free) and paid for (1.49 pounds).

How will this improve your points tally?
Abi na technology go give you points?

mykali:
hehehehe!! i'm looking at not less than 40pts and you're stuck on 36 minus 4. homey, its a done deed.

We both made 2 transfers . . .

36 + RvP's bonus points (3x2)

=42

+2 (Dyer on the bench) = 44

Once again I deserve an apology

RvP's goal celebration might just cost me a win in the H2H league.
Stupid goat! Why take off your shirt?

I hope he gets all 3 bonus points sha.

if he has any dignity left in him, he should retire after his game.
he contributed nothing, he defended nothing. fergie left him on the bench and took ashley young out(dumb move). imagine what ashley young would have provided on the left flank with rooney, chicharito and welbeck in the box?

united just threw 2 points into the bin(willingly)!

He should be playing CC and FA Cups not at Anfield.

[quote author=Mr_TA link=topic=716327.msg9345352#msg9345352 date=1318690664]A big no to Jones in the midfield. I thought he was poor there, kept losing his man he was supposed to be marking (C.Adam) and was caught ahead of the play way too many times. people think his forward forays while playing rightback or centreback mean he'll play midfield easily. They are completely wrong. he also had no composure on the ball. He needs to play in defense and stay there.[/quote]Jones didn't play defensive midfield . . . he was actually the furthest midfielder . . . to keep a tab on Adam/Lucas.
He didnt have the best of games but I still think he can play DM really well . . . I've seen him do it for Blackburn.

Fergie don mad o . . . Nani and Rooney on the bench against Liverpool?
Gbese!

Thank goodness Silva is not playing too.

Fergie's team selection was awful.
Ryan Giggs though . . . *sigh*
Park was just running around like a headless chicken.

David De Gea saved us today . . . it could have been worse.

Louis Saha with a brace

We just need to give the defence a solid protection.
Lets get the ball out wide to Nani and Young quickly and we will hurt Liverpool

Arsenal host Sunderland in their Premier League fixture at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. Both sides are floundering just above the relegation zone, and are in desperate need of three points. Arsenal are one point ahead of of Sunderland, but have had a far worse start to the season relative to their own high expectations. Arsene Wenger's side are used to mounting a serious challenge for the title, and will be desperate to turn things around with a win against Sunderland on Sunday.

Arsenal sold a number of their top players over the summer, losing captain Cesc Fabregas to Barcelona, and both Samir Nasri and Gael Clichy to Premier League rivals to Manchester City. Wenger tried to plug the gaps left by these departures with Mikel Arteta and Gervinho, but the side has not gelled convincingly so far this season. Arsenal were humiliatingly drubbed by Manchester United 8-2 in September, and lost 2-1 to Tottenham in the North London derby two weeks ago. The North London club will be desperate to salvage some pride with a win against Sunderland in their upcoming match.

Sunderland are only one point clear of the relegation zone, and fans will want reassurance that their side will not be struggling to stay in the top flight for next season. Sunderland will start with ex-Arsenal forward Nicklas Bendtner up front, and the Danish player will doubtless want to get one over his old club on Sunday, proving that they were wrong to offload him over the summer. The stage is set for a compelling encounter.



Match

By the time Chelsea's game with Everton kicks off at 17.30 BST on ESPN UK, they could either be playing catch-up to the two Manchester clubs or they may have the chance to get back on terms at the top of the Premier League table. Either way, in time honoured fashion, it is unlikely they will be watching the earlier results as Andre Villas-Boas will want his players to be fully focused on the Toffees.

And so they should, as Chelsea have won only one of the last nine Premier League meetings with Everton, drawing six of the remaining eight. While it would be a stretch to suggest that the Merseyside club are a 'bogey team' for the Blues, David Moyes has certainly found success against whichever of the interchangeable Chelsea managers he has faced in recent years.
The fact that the last five games between them have all been draws is interesting only because no two Premier League teams have ever played out six consecutive draws, but it would represent a poor result for Chelsea as they find themselves under early pressure to keep pace at the top.

Villas-Boas has some interesting selection choices to make as Frank Lampard has scored four goals from just five shots on target this season and Ramires, John Obi Mikel and Raul Meireles will fight it out for the remaining midfield places with Michael Essien still a long-term absentee. The Blues' main problem, though, is in defence and they have gone six games without keeping a clean sheet; if they fail this weekend it will be their worst defensive run since September 2003.

Reasons, perhaps, for Everton to feel optimistic, although they have gone 16 games at Stamford Bridge since their last Premier League victory. For a
change, the Toffees' injury woes are not hindering them as Victor Anichebe is the only man out, but they will also be worried about their back-line as defender Phil Jagielka admitted this week that one clean sheet was not good enough and that he was unhappy with his own form.
That said, history suggests that the Toffees may have a good chance to cause an upset and Moyes will go into the game with confidence. The latest man in charge of Chelsea, however, will have confidence of his own.



Match

Liverpool versus Manchester United and all the fiery history that goes with it is just the game to blow away the cobwebs after the international break and herald the return of the Premier League.

United head into Saturday's early kick-off at Anfield in a position of strength, six points clear of fifth place Liverpool and top of the league, having made one of their best ever starts to a season. But United's recent performances have not been as convincing as at the beginning of the campaign and questions are starting to be asked of a relatively inexperienced back line that, although they have conceded just five goals this term, have allowed 97 shots on David de Gea's goal, the most of any club in the division.

A good time then to welcome back captain Vidic, who has finally recovered from the calf injury he suffered against West Brom in United's opening match of the season and is back in contention for a starting berth following a rather (mentally) painful run out with Serbia on Tuesday

The last time Gerrard started a game for Kenny Dalglish's side was the aforementioned 3-1 win over United in March. The returning captain, who has scored five goals against United down the years, remains a truly talismanic figure and will give Liverpool, who head into the match already high in confidence following back to back victories over Wolves and Everton, a further boost.

Dalglish's biggest headache will be how to squeeze Gerrard into an overstocked midfield that was further boosted by the arrival of £20 million Stewart Downing, £16 million Jordan Henderson and £9 million Charlie Adam over the summer.

Manchester United have also gone with a 4-4-2 in their three away matches in the Premier League this season, with Anderson and Tom Cleverley the preferred partnership in central midfield before the latter injured his foot against Bolton in September. However, Cleverley, who recently signed a new deal with the English champions, could make an early comeback at Anfield.

@ Coogar

Do you have a United Ticket Membership for this season?

Unless Okocha and Kanu are both part of the coaching crew, I don't see why they should be sitting on the bench

Commentator: if the net doesn't smile, its not yet a goal.

LOL

Trust HNIC to go and dig any 'alleged' negative news about United.

^^^ Nope, the FA cup here is the H2H league where everybody plays each other.
Not where you get an easy draw all the way to the final.
Its not a knock-out . . . this is where you separate the men from the boys.

Its like the league . . . and after 38 weeks, we will know the CHAMPION

Valencia - I cant even remember anything he did right.
Fabio - he was light-weight throughout.

Defensively, we didn't perform.
We mustn't defend like that against Norwich.

Me that I'm topping the FA cup table sef, Im not making mouth.

We doing it #LowKey
