The Match Day Thread (19 August)

It would be nice if Villa can string 4 or more passes together, this is just 1 way traffic with Arsenal.

How is Henry doing on a proper pitch ?

What's that got to do with it?

Anti-Chelsea tripe, to counter your very obvious agenda here with Gerrard.

Obispo wrote:
And I don't recall him doing that,

Watch again, he sticks both his arms out in disgust at the ref as he tumbles

I don't recall it. And like I said, most players will appeal for anything nowadays. If Gerrard was appealing then he was the only one. Bellamy had his head in his hands.

Obispo wrote:but everyone does that in hope anyways.

Not really

'Fraid so.

Obispo wrote: I just think you want Gerrard to get a bit of bad press for a change

I just thought he was sh*t, yet he will still get a glowing report.

John Terry syndrome, that's called. But yes, he amongst many others, was poor. Why single him out - is it because he always gets the praise Lampard never gets (or deserves)? You clearly have issues with him.

dear god... dive??? proof of how ridiculous people can be right here...

enormously lucky to be a pen though.... not liverpool's day at all...so many great positions then a slip or a poor pass ruined it... sheffield did what was expected and ran their socks of... point is probably fair... on another day could have been a big enough win though... they only had one proper shot

Downing Goal.

gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!!!!!!!

thats twice agbonlahor beaten Hoyte.

Boro 1 up, Downing.

Le Tissier said it was a great goal.

1511: Plenty of sympathy from the home fans at Fratton Park as poor old Robbie Savage is left dazed by a collision with Benjamin Mwaruwari. The Blackburn midfielder is soon back on his feet though.

BBC live commentary

Still not as good as Richardson.

Downing might have a good season ahead of him, me thinks

Does it sound any good?

Blegh, so you chose to read that and not the ensuing debate that spans some 2-3 pages and can actually sit there and call me ridiculous. The irony.

Hardrada: Henry has been fairly quiet but it's early days.

Thats what our commentary said aswell...the most biased commentary in the world but still

Aye, ball over the top and he caught on a volley with his left, hit it across the keeper

Thats only LRD and Poiuy who said that.

I think he has the potential to be but not at the moment.

How was Downing's goal scored?

Goal for Everton, Andy Johnson.

Reading fall victim to a Premiership sucker-punch after a promising start as Yakubu swings in a cross from the left and England winger Stewart Downing volleys low into the far corner.

Beattie and Johnson look to be setting up a good partnership already!

Darren Bent goal, penalty.

Darren Bent for England!!

West ham 0-1 Charlton

BENTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dayum, gotta catch that one later sounds like a cracker.

Butt's injured - THE ZOG is on!

Because I'm just fed up of the whole "And Steven Gerrard inspires Liverpool and/or England with (this and that and the other)" when clearly others around him are playing just as well.

I'm kinda fed up with all the "Lampard is shit" tripe that so many people have adopted based on one World Cup. Yes, I have said before, Gerrard is a better player, but not that much better, yet all that ever happens now is Lampard-bashing, Gerrard-praising. I mean, did Gerrard even really have a better World Cup than Lampard? Goal wise yes, but performance wise? I'm not so sure.

Good news Kimbo

Can't beleive the Zog didn't start! Roeder is insane!

AJ scored on debut. hmmmmmm

And somehow we get another G V L debate, hilarious how it can spawn out of nothing.

Robert, you watching the live feed of Arsenal?

Stadium looks good
