Man Utd usually embarass Tottenham and I expect the same thing to happen again when they meet at OT

Re: The Official Football Thread

Man, I love your optimism but I reckon if we don't win our last 3 games, it's over... god this pressure is killing me but at the same time it's exciting

If Torres plays, it'll be tough. If not, I reckon we can pull a victory at Anfield given they are no longer in contention for 4th place

If Utd win again it will be the darkest day in English Football

Do you think liverpool would deliberately throw the game considering they're pretty much out of the race for 4th and guaranteed europa league next season?
I can honestly see them rest a their first teamers given they have nothing to gain from the game and the europa league to play for.

Yes. But Usually, Tottenham lose against the Gunners and they seem to be in-form at the correct time of the season.

Will Spurs choke yet again, as 4th spot is for them to loose.

Also, can Everton win their last 3 and qualify for Europa League? :uhhuh:

Re: The Official Football Thread

if utd win their remaining 3 matches and chelsea draw 1..utd will be 1st regardless of goal difference

Considering how screwed up this season has been, whichever team wins the title will do it on their last game of the season.

Did anyone see Fabianski's gift to Titus 'I was regarded as England's future CB at the age of 19' Bramble. If Arsenal wants to win any trophy, Wenger should open his purse.

Great news: Torres is out for the season

This will even up the Europa League tie. Sadly Torres won't get his spanish homecoming

I know! Wenger is such a tight ass

Arsenal what a disgrace at least i can take solace with the arrival of chamakh looking certain(thats even a free transfer)

but wholesome changes must be made to the defence and a new goalkeeper

All I can say is, "Wow!!" A lot of crazy stuff is happening in the EPL lately.....

Go Spurs this weekend....

As long as they win their match against city, they'll be fine. City seem to fall to sleep at the last minute...

Current Arsenal Defence (First-Choice & Subs):

-----------Almunia------------------

Sagna (Eboue)--------Vermaelan (Silvestre)-------Gallas (Campbell)--------Clichy (Traore/Eastmond)

1. Silvestre's legs are just too old to survive late counter-attacks (Sell Him)
Solution: Buy One of Ajax's promising defenders (Alderwield OR Vertongen for 8-15 million...Hmm, another Vermaelan? )

2. Fabianski isn't ready to challenge for #1 Goalie, neither is Mannone, although in 3-4 seasons, they should be. Buy Hart or players like Julio Sergio/Manninger/De Sanctis (they are a bit old but have been in good form throughout the Serie A season)

Probable Arsenal Defence (With $25 million of reinforcement):

--------------------------Hart----------------------

Sagna (Alderwield)----------Vermaelan (Vertongen)----Gallas (Campbell)-----Clichy

Seems possible. Good news for England --> Dawson may get call-up for World Cup. He would be a good option, particularly as Woodgate, King (He is a solid defender but the long-term injury may be a liability for England), Lescott, Upson have not been that good in the EPL this season.

I thought it was 71%...Report: Internazionale vs Barcelona - UEFA Champions League - ESPN Soccernet

Barca were okay but Iniesta was a missing link. Inter played brilliant, on this performance, it is clear that Mourinho is the special one.

Unless Messi & Zlatan can produce something out of the ordinary, It is safe to say that Inter are through to the final.

Mourinho can use the same tactics that Hiddink used when we went over there to defend in last year's semi. It worked brilliantly for us and inter's defense is just as capable of pulling off a similar result.

Bayern 1-0 Lyon, 2 red cards and another Robben goal (with a bit of Muller's hair)
