Where did all them years go Olly. Remember watching that game like it was yesterday.

Jezza Goss weren't no joke.

Majestic!

It was 20 years ago.

Fancying Southampton to upset United today. Best defence in the league, and in the top 4 - oh the Saints do surprise.

Think it should be fairly routine elsewhere in the Premier League.

[Guest]

Mike 'turning circle of a lorry' Williamson & Yanga 'I'm Poopie' Mbiwa in central defence up against Suarez & Sturridge. One result.

Hopefully Hatem being dropped last week sparks something special out of him today.

[Guest]

I don't reckon it will be as plain sailing as you think John. 2-2 draw for me.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

In 20 years time Utd fans will be holding onto the past as they linger in mid table obscurity  

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Give us some predictions then kiddehs

[mystiroakey]

Newcastle 2  v 2 Liverpool
Arsenal 2 v 0 Norwich
Chelsea 2 v 0 Cardiff
Everton 2 v 0 Hull
Man Utd 2 v 0 Southampton
Stoke 2 v 0 West Brom
Swansea 2 v 0 Sunderland
West Ham 0 v 2 Man City


I see a lot of 2's and a lot of 0's today

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Thats the subconscious prediction sheet of a man who may sh*t himself today.

[Guest]

Newcastle 2 v 2 Liverpool
Arsenal 4 v 1 Norwich
Chelsea 4 v 0 Cardiff
Everton 3 v 0 Hull
Man Utd 3 v 1 Southampton
Stoke 0 v 0 West Brom
Swansea 3 v 1 Sunderland
West Ham 2 v 2 Man City
Villa 1 v 1 Spurs
Palace 1 v 2 Fulham

[Duty281]

Oh Liverpool should have enough to edge out Newcastle today.

Then we'll be in the slightly baffling position of Liverpool joint-top (assuming Arsenal triumph today) after 8 games.

As I might very well say - they're only 30 games from the dream. What a marathon to run.

[Guest]

You were saying Duty...

[Duty281]

Liverpool will still be fine - just made a bit of a slow start, in truth.

I won't care...

Course you won't.

You'll be supporting someone else


Yanga Mbiwa off for Toon, silly penalty to give away. Poor defending

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Dont you remember, Olly? Bull doesnt like football. He doesnt like wrestling either. He just spends his time on the boards for no reason being a bit emo.

[Bull]

 

[Duty281]

There's been a red card between Newcastle-Liverpool for 4 consecutive games now. Liverpool should be well on course to win this game now.

[mystiroakey]

red card ffs.

come on you Geordies!!      YAYA

[Fernando]

Manchester United midfielder Adnan Januzaj has committed his future to the club by agreeing a new five-year deal

[mystiroakey]

One good game has probably got him an extra 20k a week!!

but i would not have signed for 5 years anywhere at that age!

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

What on earth is that defending by Liverpool. What on earth.

Sakho just lets the ball run by him.

Madness

[Guest]

Nothing special about this Liverpool side, bar the strikeforce.

Yanga should be sold, never a EPL player. Great effort from the lads so far. Hopefully we get a point but I doubt it.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

I don't understand why Rodgers has left his 3 CB's on the field.

[Guest]

Rodgers don't know what he's doing, just hopes S&S keep him in the job. Luis Alberto/Aspas have been shocking signings. Great point after being down to 10 men for half the game. Cabaye scored a great goal, Tiote looked like the player he was two years ago & the lads showed great effort & commitment. Delighted with the point, as for Liverpool two points dropped......top 4 is the target & no more.

[mystiroakey]

2-2 first part of the goliath in then!

[hampo17]

We've dropped two points there in my opinion. Newcastle are an average team and if you take Cabaye out of that side they will really struggle. We should have put the game to bed, Sturridge missed a few guilt edge chances but overall the play was OK, especially in the second half.

Let's be honest though one of Newcastles goal was a hit and hope, doesn't matter what anybody tells me there is just as much as chance of the ball going over or wide when hit from that distance as there is of it going in, and the other a set piece where Sakho switched off for a split second.

As for Rodgers not knowing what he's doing, we sit top of the league and have had a great start to the season. Not bad for a manager who doesn't know what he's doing is it?

[Duty281]

Liverpool drop 2 points. Appears their defence went to sleep for the second Newcastle goal, although it needed a very tidy finish. Should have still won it though - had plenty of chances to.

Can say the same thing about Liverpool without Suarez & Sturridge, Cabaye's goal was a hit & hope? Not seen much of him obviously  

Go cry in a corner, now the reality has hit home. If only you could play Crystal Palace every week you must be thinking.

I dont get when people say things like, oh well it was 20 years ago.
Pointless.

[Duty281]

Good to see John's being his usual cheery self.

Christmas spirit already?

[hampo17]

Of course it was hit and hope. Look at the reason I gave, that ball could easily of gone high and wide, this time it went in, next time it could go high and wide.

Regarding Suarez and Sturridge, we where playing well without Suarez incase you missed the end of last season and the start of this one, he's just slotted in to a team that is performing.

[hbk48942]

i predict a few home wins today.

[Guest]

Embarrassing. Basically every goal then is hit and hope & down to no technical ability whatsoever. Gerrard's penalty was then a 'hit & hope', could of gone anywhere.

Just give the credit to the strike from an international, quality player. Cabaye's scored nearly double figure goals from outside the box for us, but they are all luck, yeah whatever mate. Everton away two weeks ago.....luck. Villa away last season....luck.

[mystiroakey]

Got ta love you John. Every forum needs a pessimist

[hampo17]

Gerard's penalty was controlled, as was the young lads goal for your second anybody, which was a cracking finish for a young centre back with half a brain can see that, however with Cabayes they can end up anywhere and it as much look as technique that it ends up in the net. Always nice to see those goals, but there is a large element of luck about them.

[Duty281]

Chelsea 0-1 Cardiff.

Defensive error from Luiz, suggest the BBC.

[mystiroakey]

Mourinho will not be happy!!

[Guest]

Amazes me that a partnership of Terry/Cahill is not first choice. Okay, Jose wants a ball playing defender but the errors are outweighing the advantage Luiz brings to the side. I'd rather have a solid, reliable english speaking defensive duo, than a 'one mistake' per match defender, who basically only gives you a wonder goal every couple of months.

[mystiroakey]

1-0 to the arernal

[CFCNick]

Won't last long. 70% possession and the goal is their only shot.

[Duty281]

Benitez had it right - play Luiz in midfield.

Arsenal 1-0 up, and back up to the top of the league. #superjackwilshere

[Guest]

RVP 1-0

Their certainly raving about that opener for Arsenal, haven't seen it but it sounds very good.

[CFCNick]

Hazard 1-1. Eto'o got it off the keeper apparently.

[Ent]

Januzajs pass for rvps goal was brilliant.
