Whatever happened to that Man United nut hugger? The one who used to throw bitch fits everytime some made a negative comment about them? I think his user name was Tariq or something like that.

LOL @ your bro tearing the house apart.

edit: By the way, whats your opinions on the Betis - Bilbao match. You know the keeper got a bottle in the face.

Couple of interesting links:
Right Result goes through each Premiership match and gives the "right" result, based on incorrect refereeing (i.e. taking off goals that were offside or scored from penalties or freekicks that shouldn't have been giving, and adding goals on for penalties that weren't given or goals that were unfairly ruled offside). You can see how the Premiership table would look if the referees got all the major decisions right. For all Arsenal's whining and complaining, they'd still be second.

BBC's Predictor let's you predict the results from now until the end of the season, and tells you how the table would look come May. I had United top, Chelsea second, Arsenal third and Liverpool fourth. Bolton and Fulham finished in the dropzone with Derby.

^ Here's how I predicted it;
1. Man Utd
2 Arsenal
3 Chelsea
4 Liverpool
.....
18 Sunderland
19 Fulham
20 Derby

Man United have to win at Bolton on Wednesday, we need to open up a bit of breathing space at the top of the league. I've just realized if Chelsea win their game in hand they will be level on points with Arsenal. This could be one of the tightest title races ever.

I do the predicitor at uni pretty much every month. I had Man utd and Arsenal level on points a couple of times.

I had Derby/Fulham/Bolton to go down. Newcastle were about 16.

This is more off-topic when it comes to leagues, but Holland's new Home jersey looks pretty damn good.

It has that old school feeling to it.

 

[2Pax]

I think it's horrible, too retro for me.

 

[Bobby Sands]

There are doubts that RVN will make the tournament.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

^Nah apprently he will be fit in time. He will just miss the rest of the season.

Go C.Ronaldo :thumb: Good first half...2nd half was passable (Nani take note at the bit which says pass)

 

[DPG iz all I C]

What a game with Spurs and Chelski, 4-4.

Ashley Cole is a fucking cunt

The Holland top is great, will be getting that.

AC Milan 1-2 Sampdoria

Forza Blucerchiati!!!

Sampdoria is more than one man team. great result, although AC Milan are very poor this season.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

AC Milan were very poor last season too. Ronaldo (no bias ) dragged them to 4th place last season.

Roma lost to Lazio..Inter drew with Genoa.

Chelsea drew 4-4 with Spurs.

 

[Flipmo]

Big win for Sampdoria :thumb:
Big win for Parma :thumb: Budan 2 goals, wooo

Amazing match up between Tottenham and Chelsea.


PS: Nothing feels sweeter than seeing AC Milan not making next year's Champions league.

 

[Bobby Sands]

^^Why. i like AC Milan.so many great players played for them.

Avram Grant is a joke.They were 3-1 up and they let spurs back into it.Keane is Spur's best player.fuck Berbatov.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

I hope AC Milan make the Champions League...Although Fiorentina could surprise some people.

 

[Bobby Sands]

^^yea they have a good team but were beaten by Napoli last night. Mutu is an excellent player.

 

[hizzle?]

^^Why. i like AC Milan.so many great players played for them.

Many great players came from Real and that will never make me like them.

I also dislike AC. I like the players, but I hate the team. I also hate Inter, Juventus and especialy Lazio.

 

[hizzle?]

Also, Cudicini's save on Berbatov was an amazing save.

I hate Inter and to a lesser extent Juve.Inter are such a pathetic club imo. I dont really care about Lazio but i dont like their racist supporters. I always had a soft spot for AC Milan though even though i support Sampdoria.AC Milan are my favorite out of the top tier teams in Italy.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Inter 1 Juventus 2

Thats blows it right open in Italy. I hope Roma can win it.They are only 4 points behind now.
