Who shagged who? What did I miss?

Syxx · 18th October 2008, 2:12pm

Ooft, Everton take the lead.

And for what it's worth, I'd leave out someone for a 12.30pm game if they didn't return from international duty until late on the Friday, so it would hardly have been a controversial decision in the first place.

Ohhhh the arseeeennnaalll are shiiiiteeee!

You're saying Strachan wouldn't leave someone out the squad for returning late from international duty?

I'm saying that if he did, it wouldn't because he's "stubborn".

They'll come back..

Ross McCormack just scored his 7th goal of the season for Cardiff. Seems he's doing quite well down there. If he keeps scoring, I could see him getting a call up for the Scotland squad against Argentina...

Densu · 18th October 2008, 2:20pm

Heres hoping. I love to see a good game.

So when you said, "You're talking shite," you meant to say that it's not being stubborn to leave out your top goalscorer because he got back late, and that it's simple discipline?

Understood.

Incidentally, here's the bit I was referring to:

Nearly 2-0, there. Almunia well off his line and managed to tip it past the post for a Everton corner.

Fucking Toffee bastards! I bet that dick Cahill will score.

Naw, I meant to say you're talking shite. Samaras (or anyone else) being left out has absolutely nothing to do with Strachan being stubborn.

Yep, that's your opinion, isn't it. I am entitled to mine, and I am pretty sure Bobo Balde would be available for comment on Strachan's stubborn streak if you want a second opinion.

Anyway, Arsenal clear through on goal and Robin "The Glass Man" Van Persie side foots it into row ZZ. I'm surprised he's lasted 30 minutes without getting injured in all honesty.

jondejonjon · 18th October 2008, 2:34pm

Wigan beating Liverpool, St Mirren drawing 1-1 with Hamilton Accies.

And Bobo Balde can gtf.

Stew · 18th October 2008, 2:43pm

If Emmanuel Adebayor stopped diving and stayed on his feet to get a shot away it'd be 1-1 and Arsenal would be a much more potent thread.

The young English guy that's playing in front of the defence for Everton is having a cracking game so far. Rodwell, is it? He chipped the ball over the Arsenal defence and but for a shite touch by the Everton midfielder who ran onto it it'd be 2-0. From the resulting corner Clichy had to clear a ball off the goalline. Everton could easily be up 3-0 right now.

Dear Wenger,

Please buy a goalkeeper, a centre back who isn't four feet tall and a striker. Oh, and a defensive midfielder that isn't 17.

Thanks.

Edit: Oh, and Dirk Kuyt makes it 1-1 for Liverpool. Daniel Agger needs to move to get regular football. He looks so rusty from lack of matches that it's a shame - he has cracking potential to be one of the best, and his distribution and long range shooting is a great asset.

Syxx · 18th October 2008, 2:47pm

Accies/Midden game sounds a belter.
