Stoke City special.

It is for people with their swear filter turned on. Excellent. The world is safe in your hands.

Also thought that b******s would be bleeped. Sorry kids.

B******s. Thought that was in.

Cracking game this though. I just wish I could be more confident about our defending. It's such an open game. And that's a bit dodgy from Carragher tbh.

As far as I can see, it's just the media (Sky) grasping onto Redknapp's comments about how the club could be challenging within a couple of years, and now combined with other teams' weaknesses at the top, making them out to be the DARK HORSES for the title. That's just it, build em up and knock em down. I detest the way we've been built up as title challengers too, but it's Sky I'm pissed off at. Lazy.

I wouldn't be too sure about Liverpool - a win puts them above us, and sadly I think they will be there or thereabouts this year.

They'll be fine come the weekend. Wise words. Who do you guys want to win this arvo? Or is it the draw/several injuries/red cards galore?

Funny you should say that. I'm trying to avoid doing work, so I picked a few teams and looked at their third round draws over the last 5 years. All pretty run-of-the-mill (lots of home draws for Sunderland, lots of away draws for Newcastle) but the Chelsea draws look suss!: Spurs H Champ H Prem H Prem A Champ A Champ Newcastle A Champ A Prem A Champ A Champ H League 2 Everton H Lgue 1 A Lgue 2 H Lgue 1 H Prem A Champ Villa H Prem A Lgue 2 H Prem A Prem A Champ Arse A Prem H Champ A Champ A Prem H Champ Chels H Champ H Lgue 1 H Champ H Lgue 2 H Lgue 1 Man U H Lgue 1 A Champ A Prem H Prem A Non-league Sunderland H Non-l H Prem H Prem A Champ H Non-league Man C A Champ H Champ A Prem A Champ H League 1 Liverpool H Champ A Champ A Lgue 1 H Prem A Champ All at home and no Prem sides?

I miss Berbatov. We'd have been fantastic with him over the last two years.

This could get really horrible if they keep going.

Yeah, Man U looking really, really good going forward. Good Rooney + good Berbatov = scary.

Those red marks on his knees = start of frostbite.

To be fair, we do get most of the games! I love the fact that the games are all starting, and it's only 10, the baby's on her first nap already and I've seen one full game.

Whiter than Collins?

Teams are defending better. Apart from Arsenal, obviously.

Wilshere is seriously good, isn't he?

Let's have some sendings-off now. Cracking game.

Lovely ball.

He actually darted left then right to try to look round him! Still, pathetic defending to not close down Clark, and you could argue that makes up for the pen.

That's more of a gimp collar.

Terrible injury problems in centre-mid. That's why they got Pires in. They've got two very young and inexperienced players out there in CM, one of whom isn't really a CM anyway. They could still get something here by keeping it tight and hitting Arse on the break - after all their domination Ashley Young had the clearest chance before the goal and Villa could have had a penalty.

Unlike you One typo. f*** off you retard. Realise-->release is only one typo if you type with your palm. I seriously think that Villa can do Arsenal second half if they go gung ho. Have to play 442, surely? Edit: Sorry, typo, in wrong thread.....

If he gets a kick. Thing is, Arsenal can look pretty toothless without Fabregas and Van Persie. If Villa can just keep it tight at the back (and they're capable) then I can see them catching Arsenal on the break or from set pieces. The longer the gamr goes on without an Arsenal goal, the more nervous they'll become.

Christ, Hughton is getting a really shitty ride. I'm amazed he wasn't given a number two within a week, puts a huge amount of pressure on him.
