[Football] 2007-2008 Barclays' English Premier Leaue

Wow, havn't watched the EPL since last season...

The only reason i watch it is because of Arsenal...

I turn on the TV and there is no Henry...

Went to research and saw he is gone

Still, Van persie/Fabregas are fantastic as always, even though they are playing beautiful football as always, Henry shouldn't have left!! AHHH

 

Come on, Schmeichel was a good 3 feet off the line when Van Persie kicked it. The linesman should've given a re-kick, but I guess he was too busy watching the clouds or something

Anyways, I can't complain about how this season has gone so far. 3 points out first with a game in hand, and we're pretty much on to the CL group stages barring a catastrophe.

 

Didn't notice Schmeichel has moved towards van Persie during that penalty at all, not by myself, not mentioned by the commentators, no complaint from Arsenal players too.

If you were referring that Schmeichel was jumping along his own goal line before the penalty kick was taken, it is allowed now as FIFA has changed the rule since 1997.

 

Same thing happened to the carrier in Hong Kong too. At least you got to watch another match. I heard that the poor commentators of that channel had talked for the entire match (the Madrid's darby I believe) without a second of broadcast of the game.

 

Actually the dutch shows also couldn't show Real and Barca, untal a day after it was played. They had the same problems. I think next games they will be able to show those games.

I'm happy with Liverpool and arsenal, To bad Man U wo of the spurs.

 

He couldn't make it eventually. R.I.P. Antonio Puerta.

That's a call they only make in youth soccer. Every keeper is at least a yard off their line before the shot. It's a good play. You cut off the angle and it's easier to move side to side with a little forward momentum. Make the ref call it back if he wants to.

 

22 years old and in fantastic shape. Really kind of scary.

RIP

 

Champions League draws:

Group A: Liverpool, Porto, Marseille, Besiktas

Group B: Chelsea, Valencia, FC Schalke 04, Rosenborg

Group C: Real Madrid, Werder Bremen, Lazio, Olympiakos

Group D: AC Milan, Benfica, Celtic, Shakhtar Don'tsk

Group E: Barcelona, Lyon, VfB Stuttgart, Rangers

Group F: Manchester United, Roma, Sporting Lisbon, Dynamo Kiev

Group G: Internazionale, PSV Eindhoven, CSKA Moscow, Fenerbahce

Group H: Arsenal, Sevilla or AEK Athens, Steaua Bucharest, Slavia Prague

Couldn't be happier with Arsenal's group (unless Sevilla loses to AEK, obviously). Out of the EPL thread, ManU got the toughest draw, while group E looks like this year's group of death.

 

nice draw for the gunners

 

Interesting draw for Freddy Adu...gets drawn in the group with the team he was linked to days before he signed w/ Benfica.

 

Never expect he's the first one.

Mourinho sacked after Chelsea crisis meeting

Who's next?

 

Daniel Agger and Xabi Alonso are both out 6 weeks for Liverpool. That's a major blow to the team.

 

Martin Jol

 

Mourinho to Tottenham sounds right to me.

This guy is receiving 20mil pound pay-off, in addition to that 2 EPL trophies, what a fruitful career!

 

That would be great for me but word is that he has already planned to take the Portugal coaching job.

 

FABREGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS

Oh and Adebayor had a good game too
