Football (Soccer)

Depends from which perspective you look at it.

If its at terms from who tops their respective league, Arsenal are, but if you take it from Champion's league clean sheet pov, Arsenal are not.

If you look at it from previous encounters, I think Arsenal had a good record against Italian teams, while Juventus are seasoned contestants that have had good records of advancement.

Considering, Arsenal underdogs, is a little bit harsh especially when they had the upperhand against Juve in the 1980 Cup Winners' Cup, and a victory each in 2002 Champion's League group

True but I dont see how stats can make a difference in a game ie last 10 ecounters team A has 5-4-1 while team B has 1-4-5, since everygame is different in which case which is the underdog here?

Well done 'Boro.. Amazing comeback last night.

Yep. I am hoping that we manage an automatic promotion back to the premiership, but Blackwell's boys havent been winning lately. I cant believe they have had such a good run and are now failing to meet the challenges to get into the second and third places. Reading are already promoted and Leeds & Watford are trailing 7 pts behind the Blades.

Im believe Leeds do have a very good chance to get promoted.

My mate took the piss some time ago with a joke you may want to tell your father.

What do Laptops and the Premiership have in common ?

I to think that Leeds have a very good chance of getting automatic promotion.. I also think if they only end up with a playoff spot they could gain promotion that way. They have a good squad and are a big team they should be in the premiership where they belong... who would have thought they would be in the championship a few years ago when they were pushing for Champions league semi final spots.. shows how things change in football.. and what damage a chairman can do if he spends money for everything but the good of the club..

I don't know tell..

Actually we were pushing for the Final, but we lost out 3-0 to Valencia in the semis.

Ohh sorry.. 😛

😂

I'm finally going to get the chance to watch the ol' Lily Whites again today! Woo-hoo!

My prediction? I shall indulge you:

Spurs 3 - Man City 1

Bring it.

wow for a second there I thought Spurs - Man City would end in a draw... great performance from Spurs tho

it woulda been criminal if we lost that... James was surprisingly good.

I still consider my prediction correct as Keane wasn't offside. Lennon had a couple of mazy dribbles. He kind of plays like a young McManaman. Let's just hope he can grow into a more consistent player than that Scouse scally...

I heard Mido was hopeless today.

wasnt hopeless... didnt do much though

When I was on my way home from work I was listening to the sport on the radio and Spurs fan were sending text messages and phoning in saying he was rubbish and that Spurs should get rid of him...

Yeah, he didn't have a great game and he wasted a couple of ree-kicks. I don't think he's Ronaldinho, but as long as we don't have to pay more than 5 million for him, he's decent enough.

1 Robbie Keane Striker 52 4 4 60
2 Jermain Defoe Striker 28 4 5 37
