Unabomber Posted 10 November 2013 Posted 10 November 2013 But that's what happens when up front you only have Giroud and then fvcking Bendtner as back up. I mean how the fvck is he stil playing for them? He's fvcking dreadful. I''d say it's cost them a point today. Amazing ball in right at the end, any decent striker would have been on the end of that and equalised. But what does Bendtner do? Falls over like a twat. You cannot win the title with that kind of firepower. Eventually it will cost you. I agree, Wenger was desperate to sign Higuain and the fact that he put all his eggs in one basket has seemingly cost him. Although he did sign Ozil, Arsenal seriously lack a world class striker. Even if Podolski, Walcott, Oxlade-Chamberlain are all fit they are lacking in the forward positions badly.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 10 November 2013 Posted 10 November 2013 Nice to see man utd win. I've a bit of a soft spot for them if I have anyone in the Premiership. Hopefully they'll build on it now. At the start of the season I was dubious as to how much a new manager would affect their title chances short term because what with their quality it'd just be a matter of picking your strongest side which is really the same one fergie played. Clearly I shouldn't have underestimated the affect fergie had on matchdays.
Leicesterpool Posted 10 November 2013 Posted 10 November 2013 Tell you what the result has certainly opened up the title race again! Nobody's going to run away with it this year!
chrishlcfc Posted 10 November 2013 Posted 10 November 2013 Just watched the end of the swansea vs stoke game. Quite frankly im still struggling to see how the referee could ever give a penalty, i couldn't see anything that even looked like a penalty could have been given, the standard of the referee's is absolutely appalling.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 10 November 2013 Posted 10 November 2013 Tell you what the result has certainly opened up the title race again! Nobody's going to run away with it this year! Disagree, its far too early to say that.

Bendtners view is restricted by the last defender as well who he was stood right behind. He just flung himself towards it albeit slightly too late. It was obvious he never expected the ball to travel so far across the goalmouth. No matter whether its Bendtner, Cantona or me on the end of the cross if you can't see the ball there's not a great deal you can do

He saw the ball come in, maybe his view of it was slightly impeded when it got closer but that shouldn't. He could see the trajectory of it and where it was most likely to end up. He just had no instinct whatsoever. It was a sitter, really.
Corky Posted 10 November 2013 Posted 10 November 2013 Comfortable win really for Man United, Arsenal's finishing was wayward and they didn't turn up in the first half.
Bert Posted 10 November 2013 Posted 10 November 2013 That's the thing with the "big" games. Neither team wants to lose so it's normally a tight, drab affair.
Guest ttfn Posted 10 November 2013 Posted 10 November 2013 That's the thing with the "big" games. Neither team wants to lose so it's normally a tight, drab affair. Except for that one mental season when every game seemed to have at least 5 goals!
Super_horns Posted 10 November 2013 Posted 10 November 2013 Lost all respect for Mourinho after the West Brom game. How the hell can he claim it was a penalty? I look forward to his reaction IF Chelsea get a decision like that.. One suspects it won't be so positive towards the officials.
Unabomber Posted 10 November 2013 Posted 10 November 2013 why did the ref give a pen in the swansea stoke game???
KFS Posted 11 November 2013 Posted 11 November 2013 My Southampton supporting mate reckons they'll do Arsenal next week to go top. Nice club, nice fans, but they are so deluded down there haha!
shen Posted 11 November 2013 Posted 11 November 2013 My Southampton supporting mate reckons they'll do Arsenal next week to go top. Nice club, nice fans, but they are so deluded down there haha! Why is that so unlikely? They're in great form, so this is possibly the best chance they'll ever get.
Soar Fox Posted 11 November 2013 Posted 11 November 2013 Looks like Southampton made the right decision sacking Nigel Adkins last season.
Fox in the North Posted 11 November 2013 Posted 11 November 2013 I really want Southampton to get into the CL. Same, I enjoy it when teams mix it up a bit.
KFS Posted 11 November 2013 Posted 11 November 2013 Why is that so unlikely? They're in great form, so this is possibly the best chance they'll ever get. I just think it's a classic Swansea, West Brom, Blackpool. Got a bit of stability, shoot up the table but falter towards the end. Time will tell I suppose...
Fox92 Posted 11 November 2013 Posted 11 November 2013 http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/west-brom-albion-players-bust-up-6294638 Following on from the previous page, Mourinho is starting to annoy me now. Apparently calling Albion a 'mickey mouse club'. He rarely credits anyone apart from his own side.
Dan Posted 12 November 2013 Posted 12 November 2013 Mourinho's been the anti-climax of the season so far. Chelsea have been no better than they were last season and Mourinho's coming across very bitterly. Sadly you'll get some people use his recent quotes as if it's some form of genius but it's just embarrassing bitterness because he knows they've been handed a point at home to 'mickey mouse' West Brom. I'd love to see Chelsea not come in the CL places. Would be absolutely hilarious. Or even better, they come 4th, spunk hundreds of millions on the next 'fashionable' FM14 wonderkids and lose to Fenerbahce in the CL play-offs.
Stadt Posted 12 November 2013 Posted 12 November 2013 Steve Clarke was Mourinho's assistant manager as well which makes Mourinho seem more bitter.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 12 November 2013 Posted 12 November 2013 Incredibly disrespectful comments from Jose if true. Still, he was very kind in his words about us I remember.
Tincy Posted 12 November 2013 Posted 12 November 2013 I thought he called Olson a Mickey Mouse player, not the club??
