This the same Newcastle team but they are certainly doing much better then last season.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

another shocking performance by sunderland could not score if goals where twice the size

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

No proper out and out goalscorer and that's crucial at any level.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

absolutely correct

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Great finish by Kompany. Ronaldo would have been proud of that one, Hart had no chance.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

yes, it was a fluke

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Looks like the Manager of the Month Award curse has well and truly struck the Saints, is it now just one win in the last 8 or 9 matches.

At least he is playing a striker not five midfielders and no striker like he did at old Trafford.:rolleyes:

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

True but MU as the home side have to break them down.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window

I sometimes think Michael owen watches a different game

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

l think Liverpool can be proud of their performance today as l think we gave City quite a match and could have got at least a point..

---------- Post added at 19:25 ---------- Previous post was at 19:24 ----------

Kompany was the difference in my opinion.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

what a game that was

---------- Post added at 19:38 ---------- Previous post was at 19:34 ----------

yes man of match for me how Skrtel got away with all that shirt pulling ref and assistants much be blind

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Yes, I was impressed with liverpool.

i had either Kompany or negredo as man of the match, probably Kompany shading it.

Both teams will be challenging, as long as suarez keeps fit, and out of trouble.

Hopefully man city buy some defenders soon, kolarov and lescott are poor.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

I think that Spurs will be in trouble this season if they dont do something about Loris. So far he is conceding too many silly goals, and today is no different.

We now have someone up front with Soldado, which is bringing out his best with Adebayor. I don't know where Defoe is. But something has to happen.

I think we are goingto see a shock for Champions this year. I think that Liverpool will be tyop followed by M City. Arsenal will burn themself out and finish 4th with Chelsea in third place.

Spurs, well they will finish again outside the top four but compete again for the egg cup. Sheroowd is a young Harry, but he will be out of luck this year - possible FA Cup finalist.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

You're down to 10 men 1-0 up and you get yourself a red by being last man? Erik Pieters can see Ben Arfa is going the other way and still brings him down. I really don't understand stoke. It's clear it's not the manager that trains them in rugby.

Arsenal home Sunday.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

You shouldn't be sent of for 'being the last man', it's not a rule.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Absolutely appalling the way he has been treated and any manager with a brain won't go near Cardiff.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

His replacement was hand-picked weeks ago, a personal friend of Tan's.

Named Sven

For most of the match, a draw didn't seem possible. Good to see fletcher in the goals

Yes he is a decent forward given service.

It certainly looks like the relegation battle is going to be very interesting again.

Phew! Great 3 points from a place that is always hard to go too and a good team.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Indeed its a excellent win by Arsenal but its important they get a couple of players in the Jan transfer window to keep their title bid on track.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

but will they?

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Arsenal as well. I did say Arsenal havent even clicked yet, even early form was blips of what the team is capable of. There hasnt been any top level consistency yet which is a scary thought.

On the buying front we all know a striker is needed but its tough. What could though aid Arsenal is the World Cup. Any player not featuring could be 'unsettled' by a bid. Having said all that Bendtner will want to feature at the World Cup, he hasn't exactly got a terrible record for Country so he could come good along with Pod coming back from injury.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

First 15 minutes of this game better than all 90 of last one.

As for Arsenal I think it's important to remember that they've only played 19 of the other 19 teams in the table and we need to wait until this easy run stops to see if they're really any good.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

It just would be nice if the away side got a decision now and again Colin as its hard enough to win against sides like Man City and Chelsea as it is.:)

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

But one of them was but alas the officials never seem to give decisions to the away side.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

And they are only 2 points ahead of United now.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

And suffice to say they will leap ahead soon as they have a much stronger squad depth wise.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

There should have been TWO red cards at Arsenal today - typical Arsenal Cheating and getting away with nasty tackles.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

I love Mourinho, he defended Ramires to the end of the world for his dive against WBA but today he's berating Suarez for doing the same thing. It's Suarez though, he does himself no favours.

Well done to Arsenal anyway, crap game all round and looked like a certain draw, iffy free kick for the goal but you never know with the walking yellow that is Tiote. As for Arthur talking about two dismissals, I have no idea what he's referring too, he's seeing something I'm not.

Is that Arthur bloke real? Whenever I see him post, on whatever subject, it's just moan moan moan, especially where Arsenal are concerned. No doubt being a Spurs fan explains it somewhat, but it's comical. My mate sent me this earlier. It's a heat map of where Soldados goals are scored from.

This exactly. He will have a decent squad already and will have money to spend as well. As you say, if it all goes wrong it will be easy to shift the blame to Tan. Apart from Tan, Cardiff is actually a decent club for him to get started in this league.
