I have never heard of Man Utd called the scum except by Liverpool fans, the scum up the road are the main scum ie the great unwashed of Newcastle.

Having said that Man Utd were hated for all the reasons mentioned, mainly cos the best team is always hated and they were competitive and got in the referees face, plus Keano getting in everyones face, his feud with Viera probably the highlight of it (and one he dominated as after the tunnel incident Viera bricked it everytime they played.).

Cantona was arrogant but I would say him and Zola are probably the two greatest footballers to grace the modern English game.

Leeds are more hated mainly starting form the 70's but their fans are [censored] horrible as well which is why so many fans around the country hate them.

£40 on liverpool. lets gogogogogo

Hope you lose your money, but suspect its safe, hate matches like these hopefully we can grind out a draw at least gerrard not playing.

midfield should be quite interesting

i think liverpool have their best goal scoring 2 up front so sunderlands centre backs are going to have to be so much better than they were last week

Gah should have been 2-0 again there, Sunderland hanging around. 3pts please.

Ship it to Voronin! Two wins away to start the season after last season's lackluster away performances leaves me content.

Torres looks like he has hit the ground running in the Premiership looks a fantastic player.

We made Liverpool work hard without looking dangerous, roll on Man Utd next week (, next home game against Reading is going to be key for our season I think.

todays results

Arsenal 1-0 Manchester City
Bolton 3-0 Reading
West Ham 1-1 Wigan
Aston Villa 2-1 Fulham
Chelsea 1-0 Portsmouth
Derby 1-2 Birmingham
Sunderland 0-2 Liverpool

Everton vs Blackburn to play later

The Arsenal Man City game was a joy to watch. Man City plays very much like Arsenal. Possession based attacking football. Sven really signed some class players.

Kasper Schmeichel is now one of my favorite players to watch in the league. He's raw and certainly clumsy, but he has this insane energy and emotion. Great seeing young guys out there playing. He nearly had a goal after coming forward on a last ditch effort. His penalty save, was much ado about nothing IMO. RVP took a horrible penalty plus Schmeichel came off his line early.

Fabregas with a great goal. Arsenal deserved to win this, however credit to Man City. I will certainly check out more of their games this season. Richard Dunne had a fantastic game for City as well.

ROQUE SANTA CRUZ PWNS

I didn't know Fulham signed Kasey Keller. Looks like he started today as well.

Warner is no longer the Golden Boy at Fulham? So now they start old ass Keller. Not good.

hleb was [censored] today. Didn't realise it was piglet who did the header at the end, i was at the wrong end of the ground

you thought Hleb was poor today???

Clint Dempsey scored the goal today for Fulham. please please please keep developing.

Also McBride is said to be scheduled back around Christmas time now.

Nice strike by Dempsey, lame celebration LOL.


As I was watching the highlights of the Wigan-West Ham game, I realized how ordinary and boring they are now without Tevez. Quite amazing, but in the second half of last season, he was West Ham. There were no Hammers, there was just Carlos Tevez. Now's he over at ManU, how boring. I don't mean to bash ManU fans at all either, and I am sure you all love having one fit striker that is Carlos.

I wanted Tevez at Arsenal, but I felt if he wasn't going there I wanted him to stay at West Ham. He was that team last year. Now West Ham is Bowyer, and Ljungberg, and Bellamy, and Dyer, but not Carlito. Awesome.

Anyone know of any sites with highlights of the arsenal game? missed it and don't have any accesss to any satellite chans to watch em at..

Shox, I sent you a PM with a site.

Rover, I noticed Goldy Locks took a boot to the grill against Everton. Couldn't have happened to a better man.

he did well for the pen and the goal but he didn't track back at all to defend. we were getting raped down our right in the 2nd half cos of flamini which is understandable and he did [censored] all to help.

lol. I don't remember him doing much yesterday, rather calm and boring match for him otherwise.

Hope Tottenham can draw here at least, would be rather funny.

Man U vs Tott, Man U looking for its first win of the season.

this tottenscram ManU game sucks. hella boring. Both teams look incredibly ordinary. Wouldn't surprise me if neither score.

how did that not go in?

Horribly boring first half, but the last 10 minutes have been wild.
