Keef Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Good match I thought. To be fair, Arsenal were the better team, but Newcastle were a lot better than they have been recently, and they really worked hard for the result. Keeps it interesting at the top...

atila the gooner Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I'll take the point safe in the knowledge that we can step up a gear or two with RV14, Cesc, Flamini, and Hleb out last night and set to return. Look out premiership, we are still not firing on all cylinders!!

Jah Lush Posted December 6, 2007 Author Share Posted December 6, 2007 I kind of knew that, just a small wind up. I despise Robin Van Persie and all he stands for.>:D<Ledley King made a comeback for the reserves the other night and I'm hoping he'll be fit for selection by the weekend but I've heard that one before and just hope he doesn't break down again as Spurs have completely forgotten how to defend since he's been out injured. We should win away at Anderlect tonight although a 1-1 draw which is what I'm expecting should seal us qualification for the knockout stages of the UEFA Cup.As for the weekend's fixtures:-Aston Villa 1 Portsmouth 1 Chelsea 3 Sunderland 0 Everton 2 Fulham 1Man Utd 4 Derby 0Newcastle 2 Birmingham 1 Reading 1 Liverpool 2Middlesbrough 0 Arsenal 2Blackburn 2 West Ham 1 Bolton 1 Wigan Athletic 1 Tottenham 2 Man City 1 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1210-football-focus/page/49/#findComment-60981 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keef Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Arsenal do have players to come back, but credit where it's due, Newcastle were good value for their draw last night. At one point in the second half, Arsenal couldn't keep the ball and the passing was all over the shop. Nice to see Joey Barton hasn't let fame change him... :-S That was one blatant body check!I can't stand "Big Sam", but the fight shown by Smith, Taylor and Martins made me want to see them do okay. I thought it was one of the best matches (for a neutral) I've seen this season.AaaanywayAston Villa 2 Portsmouth 1 Chelsea 2 Sunderland 0 Everton 2 Fulham 0 Man Utd 2 Derby 1 (this will probably be a massive beating, but I'm just thinking that Jewell might toughen Derby up a bit) Newcastle 2 Birmingham 1 Reading 1 Liverpool 2 Middlesbrough 1 Arsenal 2 Blackburn 2 West Ham 2 Bolton 1 Wigan Athletic 1 Tottenham 2 Man City 1 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1210-football-focus/page/49/#findComment-61019 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keef Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Listening to the Liverpool match on he radio, and they're scathing about Rafa's team selection, tactics, and substitutions.Fair enough they ot a dodgy penalty, but still it's typical Liverpool throwing away points in matches we should be winning. This is why we are never real contenders. Makes me so angry! :X Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1210-football-focus/page/49/#findComment-61435 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanMacGabhann Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 watching the game and the reactions Keef it seems clear that Rafa is prioritising Tuesday's game.... which makes it easy to have a pop at him about not wanting the league enough20 mins left is plenty time for a big team to turn around 2 goals IMO - he will definitely not be Mr Popular on 5Live Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1210-football-focus/page/49/#findComment-61436 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annasfield Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Rafa has shown today that Tuesday's game was far more important than today's. He's not soft though and there are two sides to this. Agreed we have a squad strong enough to play on all fronts, BUT tuesday is a must win game. We can't afford to drop any points in the Prem, particularly at Reading. I'm sure though that if you had a choice (and be honest Keef), you can win one game or the other. Which would you chose?There have been some seriously dodgy decisions made this evening. Reading's "penalty" was not a pen. If that were the case, why was Carra' not booked. We had two pen shouts and both were waived off. That tackle on Vorononin was shocking and we should have had a free kick. All things that in my opinion would have influenced the game. I'd put money on the fact that if Reading had had a free kick rather than a pen, we'd have won comfortably.That said, we should have won - end of.
